He has completely tuned out of the presentation. Ryan's listening style, in this case, is best described as detached.

He was totally out of his way and was not focussing on what the presentation was about. He was not paying any attention as he found the situation boring. He is detached and is not personally involved in presentation or has no emotional interest in it. He tries to remain emotionally detached from the presentation but fails.
