” Same Height Party ” – Show Notes
Same Height Party – Topic Question
Question: What is the best or most unusual party you have ever gone to?
Question 2: What is the biggest challenge you face in regards to your height?
For todays episode we are all invited to a party where everyone has to be the same exact height.
-In 1997, a Berlin based artist by the name of Hans Hemmert decided to throw a party where all of the guests would be the same exact height of 2 meters, which in America is 6 feet 5 inches.
Thats pretty tall.
So was the artist able to invite guests, all being this unusually tall? Did he find basket ball players? Models? World Record breakers? Put out an ad?
Nope.
He made custom shoe extenders.
Originally an artist who worked with synthetic materials light weight in nature (ballons, inflatables, foam, etc) . He created 56 shoe extenders (all at different heights).
How Did This Work ?
Before entering the “party space”, gallery attendees were first measured from head to toe. Then, whatever their height was, they would wear a pair of these light blue custom shoe extenders made of blue foam rubber (looking like major platform shoes that the Spice Girls would have worn and crocks) that consisted of a giant platform, and 2 straps that you would strap your shoes into. So if someone was 5.5 naturally, they would be given a pair of shoe extenders that were a foot tall, making them 6.5. If someone entering the gallery was 6.4 they would have a shoe extender being only 1 inch, top make them 5.5.
-The shoe extenders sat on metal shelves in a white gallery space with concrete floors, making an unusual color juxtaposition between the absurd light blue color and the emptiness of the space. There were also 2 barrel shaped tables painted the same shade of blue as these shoe extenders, creating cohesiveness throughout the space.
The Reasoning Behind The Concept
-The reason for this was to force strangers/ party goers to all have the same eye level, ultimately eliminating awkward postures of party talk between shorter people and taller people.
-This art piece/ event was called LEVEL which was produced by the Galerie Gebauer Berlin for a show they put together called PERSONAL ABSURDITIES.
-This was part of an art movement put together in the 1990s called RELATIONAL AESTHETICS which consisted of artists facilitating interactions and communication through participatery installations and events. Traditionally, relateonal artists reject making conventional art objects (like a vase, a sculpture etc) but were more interested in engaging audiences by creating situations that call for personal interaction.
-In doing this you can ask your self, what would the world be like if every person was the same height?

(LAUGHTER)
JEN WILSON Eat what you want !
(LAUGHTER )
Don’t fast because you feel like you have to. EAT.
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah. Yeah.
It’s probably not healthy for you anyway.
MARK TAURIELLO I saw this meme today and it was like “ Shout out to Judas for betraying Jesus because now we all have off on Sunday . “
MARC BLUESTEIN OH, PRAISE ! BLESS IT BE !
JEN WILSON BLESS IT BE !
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah.
MARK TAURIELLO I laughed.
JEN WILSON And a lot of places have Friday off, they have today off.
MARC BLUESTEIN I know !
JEN WILSON You’re not supposed to eat meat today, but Jerry and I had Lasagna and Meatballs for dinner…SO.
MARC BLUESTEIN Well you already violated the religious rule, soo….
JEN WILSON I did, yeah.
YEP. SORRY.
MARC BLUESTEIN Oh ! We’re sorry ! We’re sorry, and Gonk says hello !
MARK TAURIELLO While we’re talking about celebrations, I think it can parlay nicely into the question I have for you guys this evening.
JEN WILSON Okay. What is it ?
MARK TAURIELLO What is the best or most unusual party that you’ve ever been to in your life ?
MARC BLUESTEIN Oh, thats a good question…
JEN WILSON Yeah, that is a good question.
MARK TAURIELLO Do you want me to share mine ?
JEN WILSON YEAH.
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah.
MARK TAURIELLO Alright, so. When I was in high school, a friend of mine…She came up with this great idea. She wanted to host a literal “ Pity Party “ .
MARC BLUESTEIN Oh!
JEN WILSON What does that…What does that entail ?
Well, we all went to her house and we drank tea, or alcoholic beverages. I did not drink till I was 23 or 22 ? I was weird, I was like a Straight Edge kid.
NO ALCHOCOL ! Now I’m an alcoholic.
MARC BLUESTEIN LOOK HOW THE TIDES TURN…
MARK TAURIELLO Times have a changed !
MARC BLUESTEIN Tables turn….
MARK TAURIELLO For this , she invited her friends and we all came over had our beverages. And one by one in a circle, we just talked about things that would get us pity.
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah.
MARK TAURIELLO So we all just shared our woes…Or things that were upsetting or bothering us. And we all got the pity that we wanted and deserved, hence the “ Pity Party “ .
And I have to say..It was SO FUN ! And I think it was very therapeutic for everyone, and somehow it did bring that circle closer together.
JEN WILSON Yeah.
MARK TAURIELLO. And it was really healthy.
MARC BLUESTEIN Maybe we should do that.
MARK TAURIELLO I’m all for a pity party, thats why I’m always sharing my experiences.
JEN WILSON I feel like we always have a pity party.
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah, thats true ! An informal one.
JEN WILSON We always have one before we record.
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah, yeah we do.
Let’s us know if theres something a long the lines of a pity party that you would like to do with us. Maybe a Live Stream?
MARK TAURIELLO Yeah.
JEN WILSON Or maybe you give us a theme and we all dress up like that one day .
MARC BLUESTEIN. OH MY GOD. I would love it.
JEN WILSON What about you Marc ? What was one of the best parties you went to ?
MARC BLUESTEIN I remember there was a party at Webster Hall, when Webster Hall was a thing. They used to do David Bowie birthday celebration’s…..That was a lot of fun.
I met someone who Mark and I both know, we were there the same night.
JEN WILSON Okay.
MARC BLUESTEIN Her name is Valerie….Hi Valerie, you probably don’t listen. But maybe you will one day and you’ll hear this !
I was like “ Hey, you’re cool. Let me photograph you at the Chelsea Hotel . “
MARK TAURIELLO She was dressed up, she was very 60’s Mod .
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah.
MARK TAURIELLO The big hair…
MARC BLUESTEIN The Go, Go, Boots.
MARK TAURIELLO. The Go, Go, Boots. The dress that was all Psychedelic and A Line.
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah. So, she was really cool. There were a lot of good moments from that.
And also Jen and Jerry’s engagement party !
JEN WILSON Aw!
MARC BLUESTEIN That was so much fun. Good food…It was really good.
JEN WILSON The food was really, really, good.
MARC BLUESTEIN I know, I still want it…AGAIN.
MARK TAURIELLO It was delish.
JEN WILSON I would wanna go back.
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah. Maybe we’ll go back.
JEN WILSON They have a really nice outdoor seating area in the Summer.
MARC BLUESTEIN Oh !
MARK TAURIELLO The sequel.
MARC BLUESTEIN We should do that !
JEN WILSON We should do a sequel.
MARC BLUESTEIN HAVE SOME SANGRI
MARK TAURIELLO I had the salmon, and that salmon was LIT.
MARC BLUESTEIN OH MY GOD…
MARK TAURIELLO IT WAS FUCKING THIS BIG (GESTURES)
MARC BLUESTEIN THE SIZE OF YOUR HEAD !
MARK TAURIELLO LITERALLY.
JEN WILSON It was massive.
MARC BLUESTEIN I know, it was.
JEN WILSON It was a pretty big portion.
MARC BLUESTEIN I was very impressed because normally restaurants are not generous with stuff like that.
MARK TAURIELLO No. They’re normally stingy.
JEN WILSON They’re pretty stingy. I thought the pasta was a little stingy.
MARC BLUESTEIN I mean, we love pasta though.
JEN WILSON We love pasta, we’re pasta whores.
MARC BLUESTEIN We are.
JEN WILSON When I was in college there was a house that was off campus that was referred to as The Manor…Because it looked like a manor outside.
MARC BLUESTEIN Okay.
JEN WILSON And it was just a bunch of people from the Theatre Department that rented this house off campus. They would always host parties. Massive, massive, parties.
They had a Halloween one, there was always a theme. One time we did an SNL theme.
MARC BLUESTEIN. Oh, fun ! Thats really fun .
JEN WILSON They did Animal Night. People had to come in animal prints.
MARC BLUESTEIN OH, HOT.
JEN WILSON But it was fun because it was just all of your college friends just hanging out partying, having a good time.
MARC BLUESTEIN A fun theme moment.
JEN WILSON Yeah it was always good to do a fun theme when I was in college.
I remember specifically the SNL one. It was one of those super last minute…My hair was just down and I just put glasses on. I was like “ I’m Tina Fey “
( LAUGHTER )
MARC BLUESTEIN Thats a smart move though, because its easy enough !
JEN WILSON It is ! It is…
MARC BLUESTEIN Innovative.
JEN WILSON I like a good theme for a party !
MARC BLUESTEIN YEAH! Thats a lot of fun.
MARK TAURIELLO Tine Fey was one of my favorites.
MARC BLUESTEIN I know, she’s funny. She’s really funny.
MARK TAURIELLO Good choice, good choice.
I wanna share another party too while we’re at it.
JEN WILSON Okay .
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah, okay.
MARK TAURIELLO When I was in college I went to this one party, and it was called Wear anything but Clothes party.
JEN WILSON Oh yeah ! ABC Party.
MARC BLUESTEIN Anything but Clothes.
MARK TAURIELLO Anything but Clothes, yeah.
I didn’t even know that there was an abbreviation for it, but you are correct !
JEN WILSON You wear a shower curtain or a table cloth. You would pretty much make anything BUT clothing.
MARC BLUESTEIN I WENT TO HAIR SCHOOL !
MARK TAURIELLO There was a lot of bedsheets. At the time, I was and Art Major and there was this other girl who was also an Art Major. We were both Hipster – e and shit .
We tried to make our own band, because I had this Micro Korg Synthesizer. Her and I made Experimental Music. And by Experimental Music, I mean one a half song’s .
MARC BLUESTEIN One Hit Wonder, baby !
MARK TAURIELLO One a half song’s!
JEN WILSON Do you still have it ?
MARK TAURIELLO No, we couldn’t even record it.
MARC BLUESTEIN Do we still have the Synthesizer ?
MARK TAURIELLO We still have the Synthesizer.
( GASP )
MARC BLUESTEIN JEN ! YOU’RE PLAYING THE SYNTHESIZER ON THE NEXT EPISODE !
JEN WILSON YESSS !!!
MARK TAURIELLO The way that we did it was that we’d go to my dorm room, and I had my Synthesizer. And we came up with A SONG. Our group name was called the Art Major’s. Because we were that fucking lame !
(LAUGHTER)
BUT ANYWAY. I digress….
We were like “ We’re gonna debut ourselves at the Anything but Clothes party ! “ Because, I’m a designer. She was like “ You like to make Futuristic stuff, so lets wear Futuristic clothing ! “
JEN WILSON Did you perform at this party ?
MARK TAURIELLO No, we didn’t perform.
JEN WILSON DAMN IT !
MARK TAURIELLO Because we only had one and a half shitty song’s.
JEN WILSON What was the name of the song ?
MARK TAURIELLO It was called Ripped and Sewn. She got dumped by her boyfriend, but yet she wore this pair of jeans at the time that were like…100 years old. They were ripped and sewn, ripped and sewn.
I was like “ Oh my God. These jeans are like an extension of you ! “
Aside from this whole Wikipedia story, or Behind the Music. We went to the Anything but Clothes party, and I made her a Space Dress out of red electrical tape and cellophane. And then I made a Space Suit out of cellophane.
MARC BLUESTEIN I’ve seen the photo ! We’ll have to share it and pull it up.
JEN WILSON Pull it up !
MARK TAURIELLO I look really cool.
JEN WILSON Are you taking us to a party tonight ?
MARK TAURIELLO We are going to a party !
JEN WILSON I’m so excited. Is it an Easter Party ?
MARK TAURIELLO It’s not an Easter Party.
MARC BLUESTEIN I wish….
MARK TAURIELLO Thank God.
MARC BLUESTEIN No. I mean, I don’t.
MARK TAURIELLO But there is one….
The Easter Bunny is dancing around the table. Our chocolate bunny.
MARC BLUESTEIN. We’ll raffle him off. No, I’m gonna eat him. Sorry.
JEN WILSON In between recordings.
MARK TAURIELLO In order to attend this party that we are all invited to, theres just one requirement. It happens to be a height requirement.
MARC BLUESTEIN. Oh !
JEN WILSON How tall do you have to be ?
MARK TAURIELLO We all have to be the same exact height.
MARC BLUESTEIN. Okay.
MARK TAURIELLO Which is 6 Feet, 5 Inches.
JEN WILSON Oh, I’m not gonna be able to go to this party.
MARC BLUESTEIN That sounds scary !
( LAUGHTER )
JEN WILSON 6 Feet , 5 Inches ?
MARK TAURIELLO 6 Feet , 5 Inches.
JEN WILSON I’m 5 Foot , 6….Maybe if you flip those numbers around?
(LAUGHTER)
MARC BLUESTEIN How do we work this !!??
MARK TAURIELLO We can ALL still go to this party.
MARC BLUESTEIN. Oh !
MARK TAURIELLO. So, do you guys wanna hear about the story of the Same Height Party ?
JEN WILSON Yes !
MARC BLUESTEIN Oh my God, yeah.
MARK TAURIELLO And thats gonna be the name of the episode, Same Height Party.
MARC BLUESTEIN Same Height Party !
(CHANTING)
JEN WILSON Same Height Party, Same Height Party, Same Height Party .
MARK TAURIELLO She’s Vogueing .
(LAUGHTER)
MARK TAURIELLO So, we’re gonna talk about this party.
It happened in 1997. This Berlin based artist by the name of Hans Hemmert decided to throw a party where all of the guests would be the same height.
In their country it’s 2 Meters.
MARC BLUESTEIN Okay.
JEN WILSON Germans are very tall.
MARK TAURIELLO Are they ?
JEN WILSON. They’re pretty tall people.
MARK TAURIELLO I’m German, I’m not that tall.
MARC BLUESTEIN Newly discovered.
JEN WILSON Yeah, you’re newly discovered. You’re like a year German.
MARK TAURIELLO. We just found out I’m not Italian anymore, I’m actually German.
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah.
MARK TAURIELLO 23 and Me.
MARC BLUESTEIN Ask us about that later.
JEN WILSON Ask us about that. Patreon content.
MARC BLUESTEIN There you go baby.
MARK TAURIELLO The theme of this party is that everyone needed to be 6 Feet ‘ 5 Inches tall. That is fucking TALL !
MARC BLUESTEIN That is !
JEN WILSON That’s tall!
MARC BLUESTEIN That’s very tall.
MARK TAURIELLO There’s a twist to this.
JEN WILSON What’s the twist ?
MARK TAURIELLO It is Bizarre Buffet.
So, was the artist able to invite guests all being this unusually tall ? Does that make sense ?
JEN WILSON. NO ! It doesn’t make sense. Did everyone have to wear high heels , or a hat or something ?
MARK TAURIELLO You’re good! Very close, very close.
(LAUGHTER )
JEN WILSON If I was 6 foot ‘ 2, I’d have to wear three inch heels…So I could be 6 foot ‘ 5 ?
MARK TAURIELLO Close ! You’re getting there, you’re getting warmer.
MARC BLUESTEIN You’re getting warmmerrrrrr !
JEN WILSON *GASP*
MARK TAURIELLO Because when I heard about this I was like, how did he do it ? Did he do a survey and invite people who were 6 Feet ‘ 5 Inches ? Did he go specifically for supermodel’s or athlete’s? But even 6’5 is tall in the fashion world.
And then I thought maybe he put an advertisement out, like “ Wanted : People who are 6’5 for an art party “ or experiment. BUT NO ! NONE OF THIS HAPPENED.
MARC BLUESTEIN Okay.
MARK TAURIELLO Believe it or not, this party was all inclusive. And it really didn’t matter what your height was, because to attend this party and to meet the requirement of being 6’5…He made custom shoe extenders.
JEN WILSON Okay….So I was close.
MARK TAURIELLO You were VERY close.
JEN WILSON I was thinking that it was the 90’s…Spice Girl platforms.
MARK TAURIELLO A Million Percent.
Originally this artist, he worked with synthetic materials that were very lightweight in nature. He worked with balloons, inflatables, foam, etc. But for this party he actually created 56 shoe extenders, all at different heights.
MARC BLUESTEIN That’s pretty wild.
JEN WILSON Well, I guess because everyones a different height, so you wanna get everyone to 6’5.
MARK TAURIELLO Yes.
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah.
MARK TAURIELLO Very odd, but very cool and inclusive.
JEN WILSON I feel like I would have to wear stilts to go to the party.
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah, me too. I’d have to wear a few pairs of shoes.
(LAUGHTER)
MARK TAURIELLO Well, I have pictures I can show you guys, and then we’ll obviously put them on the YouTube video.
JEN WILSON Yeah, I would love to see what they look like.
MARK TAURIELLO Let’s talk about exactly how this worked.
So before entering this party space, the gallery attendees were first measured head to toe to determine their height. Then whatever their height was, they would have to wear a pair of these light blue custom shoe extenders that were made out of blue foam rubber, ultimately making them look like they were Spice Girls…In big platforms.
MARC BLUESTEIN Spicing up their life…
JEN WILSON Spice up your life.
MARK TAURIELLO It almost looks like a Croc, like a Croc shoe…But in a Spice Girl universe.
MARC BLUESTEIN OKAY !
JEN WILSON Okay !
MARC BLUESTEIN VERY 97 !
MARK TAURIELLO Yes, very 97. They were this bright Turquoise color.
These shoes also consisted of two straps that you would strap on your shoes, so almost like a Birkenstock.
MARC BLUESTEIN Okay..
JEN WILSON I came here in Birkenstocks. The same ones that Gonk destroyed..
(LAUGHTER)
MARC BLUESTEIN OH, HE DID NO SUCH THING!….He just likes shoes.
JEN WILSON He does like shoes.
MARK TAURIELLO He’s got a foot fetish.
MARC BLUESTEIN He does.
JEN WILSON He does. He’s Jerry Brudos.
(LAUGHTER)
He’s the reincarnation of Jerry Brudos.
MARC BLUESTEIN He is.
MARK TAURIELLO In dog form.
Let’s just say if someone were 5 Feet; 5 Inches naturally , they would be given a pair of these shoe extenders that were a foot tall; making them 6’5.
If someone was entering the gallery and they were 6 Feet ‘ 4 Inches, they would be given a shoe extender that was only 1 inch.
MARC BLUESTEIN That’s fascinating.
MARK TAURIELLO Getting everyone to the same height.
JEN WILSON I would wanna know how long it took this artist to create this. Did he have the guest list before he made the shoe extensions ?
MARC BLUESTEIN You would think….
MARK TAURIELLO So, theres more to it. Its part of an art movement, at the time there was a lot of these performance / experience art things going on in galleries in Berlin. So I think that was probably done through the art gallery.
MARC BLUESTEIN Okay.
They probably have a dossier of clients and potential buyers, or just art enthusiasts.
JEN WILSON I like this ! This is a good topic, Mark.
MARK TAURIELLO Thank you !
MARC BLUESTEIN It is very bizarre…BUFFET !
Also too, theres not really a lot out there on this. There’s no video footage on it. It was a moment in 1997.
JEN WILSON It was a Happening, as they called it in the 60’s.
MARC BLUESTEIN The swingin’ 60’s…
JEN WILSON Where it happened, and then it never happened again.
MARK TAURIELLO And that is this ! So what would happen was, after you were measured for your height; you went into another room. The shoe extenders sat on these metal shelves in a white gallery space with concrete floors. Making a very unusual color juxtaposition between these absurd, quirky, light blue – turquoise color, and this vast empty space of an art gallery.
There were also two barrel shaped tables painted in the same shade of blue as the shoe extenders, creating this cohesiveness in the space.
Here’s a picture that I’ll show you guys….
JEN WILSON They kinda look like dunce caps that you would wear in the corner at school when you were in trouble….
MARC BLUESTEIN Oh ! I don’t remember having a dunce cap !!!
JEN WILSON It’s from like….The 1800’s.
MARC BLUESTEIN OH! Well thats why I don’t remember it !
JEN WILSON It kinda looks like a cow bell…
MARC BLUESTEIN “ I need more cow bell ! “
MARK TAURIELLO It does have a cow bell shape !
JEN WILSON It’s got a cow bell shape to it.
MARK TAURIELLO Yeah.
JEN WILSON It kinda looks like a prison !
MARK TAURIELLO Yeah, I could see that too. Cause its very like..Cold.
JEN WILSON Yeah. My next question is, because we were talking about how it was a Happening, did this party only happen once and that was it ?
MARK TAURIELLO That was it.
JEN WILSON Okay.
MARK TAURIELLO It was a one time only occasion.
The concept and the reasoning behind all of this was to force strange / party goers to all have the same eye level.
MARC BLUESTEIN Okay.
JEN WILSON For engaging in conversation.
MARK TAURIELLO. Ultimately this eliminates awkward postures of Party Talk between shorter and taller people. I mean, it happens! Have you ever tried talking to really tall people and you have to look up ?
JEN WILSON Actually, yeah. Thats a really brilliant idea.
MARC BLUESTEIN Its funny because I was talking about this. Unfortunately for this episode, I had a little pre existing knowledge of this episode from Mark. Because we live together, sometimes its hard to avoid knowing each others topics at all times.
But, I was talking with our friends Laif and Kendra and I was telling them a little bit about it. They said a similar thing. It kind of evens the playing field. Maybe if a woman isn’t treated with the same respect or whatever it is in a work environment orin some sort of social situation…Everybody is at the same level .
There’s more of a social commentary on it, which is so fucking cool.
JEN WILSON I’m for it .
MARK TAURIELLO You’re not gonna hear “ Hey, Little Lady ! “
MARC BLUESTEIN. Oh, yeah ! Exactly.
JEN WILSON “ Hey Big Guy ! “
MARC BLUESTEIN. Exactly ! “ Hey Big Man ! “
MARK TAURIELLO “ Hey Champ ! “
MARC BLUESTEIN “ Hows the weather up there !?”
JEN WILSON “ Hey Little Girl !”
MARC BLUESTEIN Ugh, God…THOSE PEOPLE.
MARK TAURIELLO This art piece / moment / happening was called Level.
MARC BLUESTEIN I’m STILL trying to get Extreme Kidnapped.
JEN WILSON And I’m still trying to find an Adult Baby.
MARC BLUESTEIN. Listen…We’re out here. Let us know.
JEN WILSON We’re out here..Doings the Lord’s work.
MARC BLUESTEIN Thats right. Praise.
MARK TAURIELLO Thats basically the gist of the Same Height Party. But before we end the discussion about the Same Height Party, I would like to close with this question for you guys, and our viewers, and our listeners.
JEN WILSON. Ooo, a follow up question!
MARK TAURIELLO In doing this..You can ask yourself “ What do you think the world would be like if every single person was the same height ?”.
JEN WILSON I actually think that it probably would make conversations less awkward.
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah, yeah. I think it would fix a lot of things. I think dating might be easier, I think that situations in the workplace ..
JEN WILSON Would be easier.
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah, yeah.
JEN WILSON I agree.
MARC BLUESTEIN The Napoleon Syndrome that some people have. Listen, I’m of shorter stature and I love it! I don’t wanna be 6’5. Anyway!
JEN WILSON Me either, no .
MARC BLUESTEIN Thank you !
JEN WILSON Embrace it.
MARC BLUESTEIN Embrace it !
I think that there would be a lot of better things maybe? Because it levels the playing field..
MARK TAURIELLO Literally.
MARC BLUESTEIN Literally, yeah.
I think it would probably alleviate a lot of things …
JEN WILSON I agree.
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah.
MARK TAURIELLO I think that it would give equal playing field for everyone and it would definitely change dynamics. I think that people are pretty fucked up and selfish though, and I think that ….
JEN WILSON Well, yeah.
MARK TAURIELLO I think that if everyone was the same height, people would focus more on other details. Maybe instead, its the length of your hair. Your teeth, your eye color, your skin color. I think people would still be fixated on that, so there would still be other things.
MARC BLUESTEIN Something would replace it.
MARK TAURIELLO For sure.
MARC BLUESTEIN Cause thats the world we live in!!!!!!
MARK TAURIELLO You can have a quality but people are still gonna be shitty.
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah…Pretty much….
JEN WILSON It’s always like that.
MARC BLUESTEIN But I wonder..Would plastic surgery evolve to the point where its like “ I DON’T WANNA BE THIS HEIGHT, I WANNA BE SHORTER !”
Isn’t there like…Leg alterations that you can do ?
JEN WILSON I feel like Ive hear of that before.
MARC BLUESTEIN I don’t think there’s a high percentage of people who pursue that surgery.
JEN WILSON Absolutely not !
MARK TAURIELLO It’s like, stretching…But I don’t really think they can do much. You know ? It’s subtle.
MARC BLUESTEIN Yeah. I don’t know…Thats very interesting though and I liked it a lot. It gives you a lot to think about.
While you’re thinking about your height, whether shorter, or taller, or in-between…You can go on patreon.com/BizarreBuffet .
JEN WILSON Yes you can ! You can also go on Instagram , @BizarreBuffet , & Facebook @BizarreBuffet .

Here he is, the bunny! He’s resurrecting us ! So, yeah…Go take a look at all of the hard work thats put into these episodes from your bizarre crew!
I suppose that sums it up doesn’t it ?
MARK TAURIELLO Yeah ! Thank you everyone for listening and watching !
JEN WILSON Thank you ! As always, thank you for listening.
MARC BLUESTEIN I know. I would give you my teets if I could, all of you….Each and every one. ALL OVER THE WORLD! ANY HEIGHT!
So, with that being said…. My name is Berlin, Germany.
JEN WILSON And my name is Napoleon Bonaparte .
MARC BLUESTEIN God…Such a hottie.
MARK TAURIELLO And I’m Ginger Spice because I have the biggest platforms.
MARC BLUESTEIN How dare you do that to Jen !
JEN WILSON HOW DARE YOU ! OH MY GOD !
MARC BLUESTEIN Oh my God….
JEN WILSON SPICE UP YOUR LIFE!
