I'll tell you what that was. When 73 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 4: I remembered being the taller ripkin in the family, right. 74 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: So you know, I played. 75 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 7: My big man and so I was always kind of encouraging. 76 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 3: You know. 77 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 9: We'd get in the elevator and I'd stand up to 78 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 9: him and I'd ask somebody in the elevator and go, 79 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 9: is he taller than me? 80 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 7: And they look and said, now, I think you got him. 81 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 9: Still, But there was one moment were in the elevator 82 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 9: and go, cal, I think he's got you.
