0:51 dude that's not it doesn't count I don't I don't look at you and think to myself that you're even short one one minute oh I think it's because it's uh perspective do you think I'm short you know what I mean I think you're shorter than Bart we're about the same height how tall are you okay can you guys both cry real quick yeah it's five eight compare five nine I'm trying to cry about right five eight five nine five eight five seven dude okay who do you know who do you know Nick is it you yeah so you're insecure about your head as well I'm not like that it's a girl but I wish I was taller sometimes yeah you're not short no you fall short of expectation but you're not sure plus you're on the ground most of the

1:41 time Jujitsu nah dude I wish I was taller a little bit like I was trying to grab Ranch I don't really like uh partake in any exactly that'd be time for grab it yeah but like I don't partake in any like plastic surgery or anything like that I'll break my music if they had a um a safe surgical procedure to add a few inches how tall would you want to be what's your dream height your dream height if it was whatever no strings attached with the blue costume you know you gotta break your knees he wears off at midnight strikes 12 it turns into pumpkin me shoes gotta be this big it's like the East Bay jumper shoes that because that is that is the thing right where like you spend 20 30 years whatever learning this body like your brain's learning it so the minute you add like let's say two inches to your

2:32 calf bone or something you have to kind of relearn and reprogram how to run so that's the part that's like you could be anatomically more advantageous but uh brain oily [Laughter] oh sorry I don't know anyone that's uh well I'm not insecure about my high but I do know some guys that are I'm not gonna say who but it's either Justice or hoyan no that is my only two friends dude they're both like five ten or five eleven yeah they're taller than me for sure but like I do know people that like wear shoes that have thicker soles like guys specifically to appear taller no would you say these are would you say these are thick soles no no like

3:22 straight up like they would wear boots like platforms don't say my name can when you wear tins though you do go like oh yeah so so when you look at guys that wear boots like maybe they might be insecure about their height so they're just wearing it so it's just appear a little taller you know yeah or maybe they like boots cam Maybe could be both so a doctor shares what happens when men get height lengthening surgery give it to me are you guys familiar with Highlander which part lengthens we'll get into that right top of your head isn't the surgery like this like they they break it they go and they put like a spacer in oh God I'm gonna extendo this is uh you guys can't really see right here but that long thing it's this nail will be implanted in the patient's femurs to permanently make him three

4:13 inches taller right here that's the one whoa you think you could spot as much there's got to be complications like this can't be and the time that it's gonna take to recover and to adapt strength wise the longer your femurs the weaker your squat the more anatomically disadvantaged towards squat so like when you have a short femur uh you can squat way more and then um you can squat more upright so that's the thing where it's like sometimes you think you're solving a problem and that's why I was so curious about it let's see our femurs let's let's uh compare our femurs that is relative too it's relative to your hip mobility my waist is right here Bart it's relative to your hip mobility and uh and your and your bottom half to him see now let's see your score what the heck we have the same you could be you could right but look at this height compared to mine yeah yeah

5:03 let me see a squat they're probably average Gamers average yeah what about us my boy oh you just have insane Mobility so usually usually like when your femurs are long right what happens is like when they squat they go up to a more good morning position like this versus like within his Mobility is so good like his knees just travel forward oh because he's got the Asian Squad going on so he's all right he's got them right here yeah yeah yeah yeah what about your femurs you got you got some femurs girl yo she got some fiends dude Colleen's got some fiends yep are those long femurs wait let's see your squash he's got the boots on too though I think she has average streamers that way do the squad you're gonna face I'm just kidding you just said Nina's mom watches this you're disgusting person

5:53 you know I don't feel comfortable Put the gun down I think I'm Gonna Leave can stop okay we need you hey just leave out that door guys [Music] take your long females yeah I'm out of here guys your mom's gonna wonder what kind of news show this is again when you're just driving the way of the chair when do you guys cover the weather what that's my mom never are you ever are you ever too secure about your height that you have so much of it two ceiling yeah do you ever catch yourself getting a little cocky uh I'm I'm 5 12. so uh for real six six perfectly man that's nice congrats bro because you're like always

6:44 pick up the litter like when you hang out with other Asians they just go this guy okay first of all it's all relative right it's all about who you grow up with or who you hang out with so like like Bart said it's all perspective I have a lot of cousins that are short so I always thought I was freakishly tall and long in an insecure oh go yourself oh sorry you want to talk about your big dick next you go you go in the room and they're like hey guys I'm so insecure this room's really suffocating you know that it's like it sucks to be a ball look how tall he is dude

7:34 I can't handle this dude get your ass back over here man yeah he just wanted to stand up as you can see his height full scale the views are going up we're getting up yeah wow what do you mean you're insecure about that's weird that's lame bro because it's not like you got dealt a very rare and good card I don't even know why I'm being attacked right now if you're six six because you're six foot being worshiped as usual yeah that's like being insecure because you're a millionaire yeah are you interested about that too yeah I didn't get a chance to buy four houses yet one at a time he doesn't have a mom over time yeah he can fit through the doorway nothing like you yeah yeah you freak you're freak shut the up so this it really hurts my feelings so this doctor he posts this stuff on Tick Tock so people are finally kind of getting exposed to even understanding that uh heightening is a surgery that some people do for Aesthetics right and this

8:26 one guy comments on there too he said uh he wanted to take the opportunity to make sure that people are properly considering truly what the surgery does which is actually kind of on the tip that Bart was sharing he says before y'all even do it think they can they can't stretch your nerves are you gonna lengthen your arms to match your new proportions think about that when you're old so just kind of the idea like I said you're you're already disproportionate that's the thing sometimes your arm's already long exactly exactly you're really broad shoulder the type of people that this kind of surgery makes sense for is to more balance out some of your proportions maybe you are already born with some sort of like deficiency in your femurs or just like a you know naturally why'd you look at me [Laughter]

9:27 like how many people uh knew that the this lengthening procedure was kind of becoming more popular I didn't even know it was a real thing I knew it was a thing I didn't know was becoming popular yeah I thought it was a fictional thing for the movie Gattaca yeah see where they break his legs don't they yeah you remember that they break his legs and he grows taller they and they're doing the whole surgery like that and I was like is that how people do this but you know I I didn't honestly think about the implications of somebody like changing their the brainiology like you said do you think there's a cover-up because you know like when people get nose jobs and they don't want to say they got a nose job they say they had to accept a what's the thing deviated septum and they always go oh idea is that I had to fix it oh it looks so gorgeous on accident but like I wonder if there's a cover-up for this we're like there's a go-to oh you know

10:17 what you're gonna get the high thing but just tell everybody that you I don't know tell them you got a BBF double ACL tear or some or you go like I I was just slouching before you know so finally went to a chiropractor yeah yeah yeah posture a posture problem got my spine lengthened because every every cosmetic or like thing has a medical thing to pair with it so that you don't get made fun like you didn't know but I had severe scoliosis in my spine um yeah or you could just own it and just be like I'm taller now I got surgery because I wanted to be tall and then that's like you going around age like 40 being like I drank milk yesterday yeah what's wrong with that would you guys notice if like someone a friend of yours was five eight and then suddenly was five eleven no I would have noticed yeah that's a substantial amount that's a lot especially at that cusp 5'8

11:07 is because when you're like like let's say someone's like he goes from five three to five five probably not really or someone's like six two to six five but right at that cusp is where like I think you notice big time because most people around five seven five eight I think most of the time you know that's the average I think so yeah I feel like you're going from like uh dudes like us little guys like us yeah if I was yeah I think if I was like five three as a dude I could shoot yourself off like trying to get it this would be worth living he's like I guess I'll just jumps five three I'd be a break dancer if you know what I mean oh dang like b-boy pocket yeah dude the physics of that is like crazy you better do something with that height grab Rim how tall are the people on choreo cookies

11:58 nah the video was gonna end already [Laughter] [Music]
