Speaker 8 (06:33):
Yeah, So I kind of have the opposite story here.
So at my wedding, one of my guests boyfriends was
a seven foot man all right, And a little bit
of backstory is my I went to school with somebody
who was in the NFL, and so I invited him
to the wedding, but he couldn't come. So my entire
dad side of the family assumed that the seven foot
man was this athlete, and we're interrogating him after the ceremony,
(06:55):
and then at the reception they were interrogating me, like
I'm trying to go around and talk to all of
the guests and They're like, who is he? Like he
has to be an athlete, and I'm telling them, no,
he's not, Like he's just a guest like he is, No,
he's not famous, he's nobody. And I come to find
out at the end of the night said they took
so many pictures with him, Like I have pictures with
my little grandma with this man because she thought he
(07:16):
was some famous athlete.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Isn't that the best? That to me is unbelievable. I
love it these. By the way, if I was seven
foot tall, I would just pretend I was somebody.

the hotel lobby trying to get her checked in, and
she sees this guy that's standing there in the hotel
lobby getting checked in, and he's stecked out in all
writers gear. My sister is an obnoxious Raiders fans, and
so she like looks at him and she's like, hey,
