this is unrealistic because ron is the exact kind of person who would do this.. is this an actual line from the show?

No I believe it's "I have an uncle who does yoga"

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which is silly IMO

Doing yoga is damn good for you. It increases strength and flexibility so that you're way less likely to get injured doing physical activity.

I'd say it could be taken multiple ways, either mocking the person doing yoga or laughing at Ron for his silly take

I know a few people who took it as "mocking the yoga doer"

They wrongly believe Ron is right, when hes usually being a manly man stereotype. A kind of extreme example, but people thinking Homelander is a good guy in The Boys is a similar deal, they're also wrong.

Disagree. Ron is pragmatic to a fault. Hauling air isn't pragmatic, nor does it do anything to hinder the function of government so I don't think he would.

TBF, he does live out in the woods and does a lot of woodworking and stuff like that. He probably has more use for a truck than most.

He also drives about the most reasonable vehicle on earth, a mid to late 90s Park Ave with a 3.8. Genuinely one of my favourite cars, absolute highway monsters bigger than some trucks and drive better than they have any right to.

Ron dives a car but no the line is about the uncle doing yoga
