I wouldn't talk to him at all because I, 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:55.040 like I said, And one day, you know, we went 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.480 to the car, like it was those times where you 0:02:57.560 --> 0:02:59.639 go somewhere, you go to the car to drink and 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:04.519 then like allowed drinking inside, yeah, like a pregame thing. 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.200 And he happened to be in the car. Yeah, and 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.600 I was like, oh, great, he's in here. I'm like, 0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.680 but whatever, I gotta get my drink, you know.

After that, we. 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:45.960 Didn't do another great Yeah. 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:46.200 Two babies, I know ten years later believe that. And 0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:50.000 like we just we're talking the whole time. And even 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:51.640 our friends when they would come to the car, they 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:56.280 were like, what the hell like that you know. 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:57.320 Each other friends of friends. 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:01.800 Yeah, yeah, so your friends and our friends were kind 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.119 of tripping like are they really talking because they knew 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.000 that I didn't like him because I would always be like, 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.000 you know, like talking about you know. 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:09.920 I have that riis you know what I'm saying for 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:10.760 a reason what I. 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.320 Yeah, And the rest is history. I mean, you know, 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:17.400 we played our little game hard to get and stuff, 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.000 but that's my version. 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.080 Yeah, she was playing real hard to get. But you know, 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:22.719 I already know how it. I knew that was in 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.560 the bag already, but I gotta take some time. But 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:30.080 this is so confident like that, and I think that's why. No, look, 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:31.719 you'all look at mins and I do this in that 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:33.479 battle at the end of the day. It's not like 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.320 I'm not cocky at all. You know, I'm a humble person. 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.560 I know where I come from, you know, but that's 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:40.440 just how I carry myself. And I think it's it's 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.160 it's good, you know, I think it's good. And it 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:47.080 ended up getting it ended it ended up getting her. 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:51.440 But yeah, so that's how we met and we just 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:55.279 started talking. Everything flowed really good, and the rest I 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.600 guess it's history. But yeah, she was playing hard to get. Look, 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.559 it's crazy because let me put this far because he didn't 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.400 put this part. We met, I mean, we met, we 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.720 started talking a little bit more at this party we 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:09.159 were at where we were like actually kind of flirting 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.680 a little more, and then we got kicked out of 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.960 there because my friends were acting up and we got 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.520 kicked out of this party. So yeah, I hung out 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:19.920 with some bad boys. So when we got kicked out 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.000 of the party, you know, as I was on my 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:23.560 way out, I still didn't have her number. So I 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.520 was like, hey, like, let me get your number, and 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.160 she didn't really want to get. She was still playing 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:28.520 hard to get. She didn't want to really give it 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:31.800 to me. So then I was like, hey, you know what, 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:33.520 get my number down. Get So I grabbed her phone, 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:35.880 her phone, and I put my number in there. And 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.600 then yeah, I was like, now let's if she's really interested, 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.479 she's gonna hit me up. Yeah, so you know the 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:42.320 traditional way, I guess you get the girl's number, but 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:43.680 I gave her my number. I was like I ain't 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:48.920 losing this one, you know what I'm saying, And yeah. 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:48.840 You give me your number. I was like, I'm not 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:49.480 going to give you a. 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:52.680 Mind playing hard and then uh yeah, we just started 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.480 texting and then started hanging out without the friends, and 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.640 that's when we knew, like Oh, so we're kicking it 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:03.760 without the you know something, and yeah, the rest is 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:08.400 kind of history. I guess you guys, uh, twenty one, 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.159 twenty twenty, I was twenty. Yeah, we're thirty. 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:16.160 No, well I had I was nineteen about it turned 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.400 twenty and you had turned twenty one? 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:23.159 Did you guys ever get like obviously judgment and he 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.040 looks anything like, oh. 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:28.320 Yeah, because for the viewers out there who don't know, 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:29.880 because I'm sitting down, I don't know what you can tell. 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.520 I'm a little dude, Like I'm four feet tall. I 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.839 have dwarphism. It's not a disease. It is a condition. 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:42.040 Just to educate people out there. Obviously she's five for five, 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:45.279 and yeah, it's definitely different for someone like her being 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.880 with someone like me, because in today's world, in today's society, 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.120 you know, you get a lot of judgment, you know, like, oh, 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:51.960 you're with the little guy, like oh that's funny or 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:53.880 that's crazy. But you know, it's it's easier at the 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:55.720 end of the day, Yeah, for sure. And at the 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:57.560 end of the day, you know, I thank God for 0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.919 you know, putting this amazing woman my life. And we 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.080 have an amazing family. We'll talk more about that in 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.560 the episode, but I'm super blessed to have. 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:13.000 When we first met, actually it was it was something 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:17.640 that I had to get used to because everywhere we went, 0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:19.680 all eyes were on us, you know, and I wasn't 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.440 used to that. He was used to that, but I wasn't. 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:25.760 So I would tell him like, oh my gosh, like 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.560 I think it would bother me more than it did 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:32.080 to him, that the looks, yeah, the looks. And I 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.840 would always want to fight people, you know, like we 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.720 were looking at like I would be like what like 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:43.280 And then one day like he told me like why, 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.440 Like if it's not bothering me, why does it bother 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:50.040 you so much? And I was like That's when it 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:53.160 hit me and I was like, oh my gosh, that's true, 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:56.400 Like I'm probably making him feel bad, you know, And 0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:00.720 that's when I kind of calmed down, and it was 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.800 it was, it was. It took me time to adjust, 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.600 but now like now we go out and I don't 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.960 even pay attention to people unless I see someone like, 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.960 you know, trying to be funny and like take pictures, 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:15.880 videos and stuff. Of course, especially now that I have 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:18.360 my kids, you know, I do. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:21.240 Like the other day, Mama Bear stands. 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.240 Yeah, the other day I had to, you know, go 0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.600 after a lady and tell her to delete. She was 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:30.280 taking pictures and videos of my kids and I told her, like, 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.320 you better delete those pictures right now, like and she 0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.840 had her kids with her. That's what made it even worse. 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:36.800 But it's not. It wasn't like taking pictures because they 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:38.600 recognize us on social media, which is one of those 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.520 where like because for those out there that don't know, 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.960 our kids are also little like myself, my son and 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:46.400 my daughter Camilla and Matteo, so you know we're we're different. 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.840 Obviously you know, it does catch a eye. But yeah, 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:50.600 she was just trying to be like you know, on 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.360 the Loki, trying to film and like you know, and 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.480 then she's seen I told her, look that ladies take 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:57.920 it's uncomfortable. So look and it is. It is. You know, 0:08:57.920 --> 0:08:59.599 we're here to educating and we're not trying to We 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:03.480 don't try to be like, you know, like rude to people. 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.160 But when people do stuff like that, you know, it 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:09.040 does bother you because they're kids, you know, do whatever. 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.480 We mean, take pictures of me, but like when you 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:13.760 start taking pictures of innocent child and trying to I 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:18.839 know their intentions with it. It's it's not and it's 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:20.640 just weird, like, oh, you're trying to take picture of 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.520 my kids and like, yeah, so it is. But yeah 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.160 she went after I made her delete. 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:29.720 No, I would too, and I mean it's kind of similar. 0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:30.319 But whatever. 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.760 There's people that obviously like record my families or whatever, 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:34.960 Like there was someone that was recording me eat the 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:41.320 other day. Oh I'm saying, it's just uncomfortable. Like I think, 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:47.319 at the end of the day, don't matter what it is, 0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:51.400 nothing nothing. You are human to treat everybody as a human, 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.360 be kind. That's as simple as it is. 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:54.440 That's so sad. 0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:56.360 Yeah, I was so disappointing. 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:59.560 That was the first time too that I actually caught 0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:02.520 someone to pictures of my kids, like it's and it's 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:05.800 different like my kids to him. Yeah you know, so 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:07.600 I was so mad. 0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:12.400 Obviously when you had your kids, I don't know, so 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.440 please educate me as well. Did that did you know 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:17.439 that they were going to come out the same way 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.400 or was it like a possibility? 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.600 So, so the way that works, like the science behind it. 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.760 When it's a little person like myself with a contradplasure 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.600 is the correct term, which is like the most common 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:32.400 form of dwarfhism because it's like hundreds like because I know, 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.160 you see different types of little people to defend in there, 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.360 and they have different but the what I have is 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.160 called a contraplasure. It is not a disease, is a condition. 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.720 Both of my parents are average heigh and you know, 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.000 so you know, yeah, I'm the only little person in 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:48.720 my family. I have a brother and a sister. I 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.520 am the oldest, but I'm the only little person in 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:53.040 my family. So my parents had no idea till I 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:54.480 was like three months. But I was born like you know, 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:57.000 obviously a little baby. But at three months are like, oh, 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.160 he's kind of growing a little slower than the regular 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:00.840 you know, so then they already you know, kind of 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:02.360 checking out. They're like, oh, yeah, he's going to be 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.560 little and things like that. So now imagine then that 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.880 they have no resources kind of like I mean, like now, 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.240 so they're like, oh, so what does that mean? You know, 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.440 is he healthy? Is he what's gonna Yeah, everything's good. 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.960 He's just his limbs on his arms and his legs 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.679 are a little short than the normal person or the 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:20.640 average person and that's just how it is. So when 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.480 it comes to me and my wife, since I'm little 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.480 and she's average high, the chances are just fifty to fifty. 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.480 So we know, yeah, there's those possibilities of having someone 0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.320 with a contraplace like myself or an average high baby. 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.480 But but yeah, so I guess I don't know. I 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.440 guess my jeans are stronger or something. I don't know. Yeah, 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.040 that's just kind of how it happens. So yeah, we 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.960 could have had someone of average height, but that's just 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.520 how God wanted it. And you know, we're very blessing. 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:45.640 They're healthy. 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:49.280 You know, they're healthy. So yeah, we're super boy boy 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.320 and the girl. Yeah we have our son Matteo, he's 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.000 three years old, and then our daughter Camila, who is seven. 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.640 Super super beautiful kids. We're so blessed, happy family, happy families. 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.400 Yeah, we're I was it growing up for you? 0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:02.040 For me? 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.679 For you? And like, how would you implement that on 0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:08.800 your kids? Because I feel like the world's a little 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.920 bit more harsher now or less. I mean, obviously it 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.080 might be different, but you know what I mean, Like, 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.280 how would you help teach them because obviously they got 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.600 to go to school and all that, and I wouldn't. 0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:21.079 I couldn't imagine how to like tell them or talk 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:21.920 to them. 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.640 Well, Ma, Thios three, you know, he understands some things. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.280 But Camilla, she's already seven. She has more of an 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.920 understanding of things when we tell her and explain to her. 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:31.880 But ever since she was younger as well, you know, 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:33.760 we've always told them like, you know, you guys are different, 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.640 this is this is what it is, but don't let that, 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.840 you know, hold you back for whatever it is, and 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.640 not trying to like sugarcoat things, but we tell them like, 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:42.720 you know, it's going to be. It's a rough world 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:45.440 that we're living in, and you know, the world we 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:47.120 live in is not adapted to us, so we got 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.560 to find a way to accommodate and just make it happen. So, yeah, 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.520 we teach them to do things on their own and 0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.000 be very independent because you know, we're not going to 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:58.280 be there forever. So yeah, we teach them that then. 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:02.320 And Camilla, she's she takes that so very very good. 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.679 And yeah, so me growing up, I grew up in 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:08.880 like an urban environment on the block with the homies 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.160 and my friends, and so I was the only little 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.120 person in my group and young man, I'm talking to 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:15.640 the meno, So no one's gonna call me harder than 0:13:15.640 --> 0:13:17.560 my homies, you know what I'm saying. So like that 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.720 made me tough skin Like I grew up on the block, 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:24.280 drinking forties whatever it can take, forty ouns bigger than 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:27.520 me and stuff. But I never took life too serious. 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.000 I knew I was different, but I'm like, you know what, 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:32.280 I'm gonna make the best of it. And I just 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:35.320 always been very confident ever since I was like younger. 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.280 My mom always told me, like, you know, even when 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.200 she would try to help me with things like okay, 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.200 that use like no, Mom, like I got this. I 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.040 got this just because I think being little and being different, 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.680 I've always wanted to prove myself to show the world like, 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.160 you know what, I can do this. It might be 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.080 ten times harder or whatever, but I'm like, you know what, 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:54.360 I'm I need to prove to myself really that I 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.320 could do this, and you know, not be soft and 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.720 like oh I need help and things like that. So yeah, 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:02.360 grow gowing up honestly like I always taught gen. It 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:04.240 sounds crazy, but I feel like I was kind of 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:06.800 the bully. I was the bully, Like I didn't you know, 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.439 if someone try to be mean to me, all was 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:11.720 like I would stand my ground and be like yeah, 0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:13.839 like but I never you know. I think that is 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.840 just the environment I grew up. All my friends were 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.400 average high and they didn't treat me any different, you 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.440 know they. I think that's what made it, like made 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.320 me the person today too. Besides you know, my parents 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.280 and things like that. But growing up on the block 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:29.080 with the homies and them not treating me any different, 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.080 still involving me with everything and just still doing bad 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.320 stuff together and everything all around. I think that just 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:39.240 made it like different for me. So I think it 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.680 all allow us to do with how you're raised in 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:45.040 the sense of like don't I mean, everyone's parents different. 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.720 This is how I think, you know, how we do things. 0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:50.000 Don't like and close them too much, don't protect them 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.000 too much because you're gonna not you're gonna make them soft. 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.520 But like they gotta know, like it's a crazy world 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.880 out there, you know. And I think sometimes some kids 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:00.440 grow up to be very babied and very like oh 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:02.680 no me, like, don't go out there. Like I was 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.960 outside I was getting that vitamin d you know what 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:11.080 I'm saying, Like I was outside twenty stuff. But I 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:13.600 think in the long run, like it like it made 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:14.840 me like who I am? 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:15.120 You know? 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.920 So yeah, that's how it was for me growing up 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:20.520 school Everything was cool. And I'm not gonna sit here 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.720 and say like, oh I was bullied, Like I just 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:24.880 think it all comes down to how you carry yourself. 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:29.040 And I mean obviously if you're I don't know different 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:33.840 and you don't speak up and compose it, I mean, 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:37.440 not compose yourself, carry yourself well, you know, because the 0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:39.800 bully's gonna Because people tell me, all right, how are 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:41.320 you gonna have kids like that? If you know they're 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.600 gonna get bullied. I'm like, look, it starts at home, dude. 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.280 Worry about your kid. Make sure he's not gonna be 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:49.160 a bully, you know what I'm saying. And whether the 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:52.440 kid is little or big or small or wide or 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.480 whatever it is you want to the bully's gonna be 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.640 a bully regardless whether he has new shoes on or 0:15:56.680 --> 0:16:00.160 old shoes on. The bully's gonna find a way or so, 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:02.440 you know, I think, just it just starts at home. 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:05.600 Raise your kids to be good human beings, and that's 0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:06.320 just how I see it. 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:09.600 You You're very confident, which I like, and I think 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.800 that's what got her because if I can't imagine the 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:17.280 way you was her like, all right, you guys, we're 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:19.120 gonna go on a quick break and we'll be back 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:21.760 with the Garcia family. Welcome back. Were you at any 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:23.240 point like worried or scared? 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.600 Yeah? It was. You know, it was new to me 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:30.480 too as well, you know, so I was I did 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:31.320 a lot of research. 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:35.520 Oh how did the question Google? How did the question 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:37.960 you freaking Google? But this is this is funny, Like. 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.080 Okay, So I mean, of course, like anyone, you know, 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:44.720 I didn't know anyone who was little. Uh, you know, 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.440 I've seen other little people, but I didn't really know 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.560 much about you know. When I met him and I 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:54.080 like started feeling things for him, I was just like, 0:16:54.960 --> 0:16:58.120 you know, obviously it's different. You know, he's different. So 0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:03.800 I started, you know, googling, like, you know, like, at 0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:09.680 what age do they die? You know, you know stupid question, Yeah, yeah. 0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:12.720 Is it gonna be around long enough? 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.119 Yeah? You know, because I'm like, I don't want to 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:16.960 fall in love and then he dies in like two 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:23.560 years or something, you know. So I started, you know, 0:17:23.840 --> 0:17:28.200 just researching and like they're pretty much you know what 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.680 to expect, you know, and if he were we were 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:35.199 to have kids, like what can I expect? You know? 0:17:35.280 --> 0:17:37.199 And then that's when I found out, like it's a 0:17:37.200 --> 0:17:40.760 fifty to fifty chance and pretty much you know, it's 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.280 just they could live a pretty healthy, normal life and 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.840 obviously you know, it can come with complications just like 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:52.200 anybody else. So yeah, I had to do my research, 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.520 you know, before I got committed. 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:58.240 Yeah, so but you know what, like it makes sense though, 0:17:58.280 --> 0:18:01.919 because like if I put myself in her shoes, like 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:04.439 I probably would have done the thing. It's like I'm like, 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:06.320 oh wow, like you know, because you're not educating. And 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:09.840 then I think that's why, Like on our podcast Love 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:11.600 a little podcast, that's kind of what we like to 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.960 push and educate people on, like you know, on doorfism 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.359 and the different things and things like that, because a 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.240 lot of people get a misconception of what it really 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:22.840 is and because a lot of us little people are 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:25.359 like it's like a gimmick on TV. What you see 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:27.639 like you'll see like like him thinking of side, Like 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:30.879 you'll see like they use us as something funny or 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.439 like oh, you're an elf, like an elf in a movie, 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:35.560 or you know, we're also business people. You know, we 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.600 have regular families just like other people, and a lot 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.520 of times the world doesn't see that, you know, And 0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:43.520 I think that's what we're here to do and use 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:47.159 our platform to educate the world and like let everyone know, 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:49.320 like you know, we're I'm a hustler too, I'm a 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:51.719 business owner. You know, my beautiful wife, I got two 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:55.320 beautiful kids who were capable of doing above and beyond, 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.360 like you know, so yeah, I think it's very important 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:00.600 to just educate the world. Then I always tell you 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.240 it's not. There's never really like dumb questions on us. 0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.040 You know, your intentions are to be bad. But like 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.439 I love when people are like, oh, what's the correct 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:10.920 term for you guys? Or do we call you guys? 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:12.960 I'm gonna say it which we don't really like to 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:16.119 use because I'm here to educate, Like, oh, midget's like 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:18.280
