ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode, I explore the fact that as someone who is just shorter than six feet tall, I've always wondered what my life would be like if I were just a little bit taller. Combined with the revelation from the last episode that my kyphosis and scoliosis in my teenage years perhaps stunted me from growing to my full potential, the seemingly inconsequential difference of an inch has been on my mind. So, I reached out to talk with Josh Sharp, a comedian, performer, and 6'3" human being. The episode starts with some studies that do seem to confirm a connection between height and happiness, but then we get sidetracked when I learn that Josh very recently had a similar bag-to-head accident on a flight — but with the roles reversed.
