Maybe your grandmother is 5’5” and then there are all those malnourished Mexicans in LA. I have no idea why the average height is said to be 5’9”.
I run a health Club. I stand at the front desk and watch kids come through the door. After all these years I am still absolutely amazed how big kids are these days.
There was a time at 6’ 5” or more the kid would be kind of goofy looking and awkward. Just natural and proportional now.
A commercial door is 80” or 6’8”. Kids are on college break now. I see a ton of them and it’s freightening how close they come to knocking their hat off.
My kid was 6’1” and he was the shortest kid on his college baseball team. Baseball not basketball.
Was Bowie short in his or your day? Is Bowie short today? The podcaster obviously is a younger guy.
