Transcript

How tall are each of you? I'm six three. Five. And some change. Six five, but she's six three. Yeah. Six five. How tall are each of you? I'm six feet. I'm six one. I'm six foot. I'm six four. My height on roster is six one. No. On a good day, I like to say at least six good, but... Don't lie. I'm gonna say for real five ten. I'm gonna go with six foot. Six foot four. I'm six three. Six four. I'm six feet. Oh, I'm six one. Do you have any pet peeves about being tall? Short men who have to kind of, like, put you down to make them feel taller. worse. That's all about it. People don't even say hi to you. They're just like, I can meet you one on one. Mhmm. Oh, okay. I love it. I have no complaints. Other than, like, sometimes you wanna find pants and Yeah. They're either too wide or too short. Pants never fit unless they're tall. Finding a good pair of jeans, that's my biggest pet peeve. Like, you'll find a really cute pair of pants and the inseam is not long enough, so you have high waters. Yeah. You can never buy anything that's in store. You have to, like, go try it on and then order it online. Same with pants and, like, jackets. It's best, like, clothes is not long enough. My biggest pet peeve about being tall is always, like, oh, you must play volleyball. People are always staring and looking and always asking questions. What worse do you play? Always just staring up at me like I've never seen me before. That's rough. Like everybody's like, oh, what sport do you play? I'm like, bro, like, relax. Better it's just annoying that everybody assumes even though I do play a sport. If I didn't play a sport, that would bother me. That would be annoying for sure. Or then you mean you say your answer, they're like, oh, I was gonna guess that. That was my second yes.
