The Story Of Mr. Broken Bonez - 5′5″ To 6 Feet Tall

**Derek** (0:00)
Denzel is also known as Mr. Broken Bones, right?

**Brian** (0:03)
He was, he changed his Instagram handle too. There's a pattern to us wanting to like not be known only for having done this.

**Derek** (0:12)
Fair enough. Yeah, well, for him, it's probably harder to get away from it because he's been like on mainstream news platforms and stuff. And I don't know.

**Brian** (0:23)
He went on a tirade for a while. We even got, we were even did a.

**Derek** (0:27)
They even went on a first date with him. That was crazy. Have you seen that one?

**Brian** (0:31)
I was in it.

**Derek** (0:32)
Yeah, you were at the end of the video, but I didn't know if you knew that they like filmed his date.

**Brian** (0:36)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The date was after.

**Derek** (0:38)
They're like, so what do you think about him being taller now or whatever to the chick? That's cool.

**Brian** (0:43)
Yeah, I love that guy. He's he's awesome. But yeah, he he went on a tirade for a while of like and then after a while, it's like you do kind of like I sympathize, like is like, yeah, maybe I don't want to be known for this because there's a lot more to me than just this. But now this is what everyone's going to see when they Google my name.

**Derek** (1:03)
You know, so Denzel lives pretty damn close to here.

**Brian** (1:09)
Yeah, he does.

**Derek** (1:10)
Which is a weird coincidence. Like where you you saw each other, met each other in person for the first time at this clinic and just kind of like got to talking about your background and you just happened to be within spitting distance of each other.

**Brian** (1:24)
Pretty much. Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what happened. And more coincidence to that is we ended up being roommates.

**Derek** (1:32)
So by random assignment.

**Brian** (1:35)
No, not by random assignment because what happened was, you don't have roommates there because of infection risk, right?

**Derek** (1:42)
Okay.

**Brian** (1:42)
So ideally everyone separate their own environment, but because yeah, you want to spread stuff like that. But the way that we met was we had this karaoke night, right? They used to have events there like every once in a while. Then we had a karaoke night and I like the fast rap, right? It's fun. And it's like this like party trick that I like to do. And so I did that there. And he's an actual rapper. He actually made a song for me and my wife that I gave to her, kind of like a song finch, but more personalized because I had my friend make it for me. And he's really good. And he did one of his songs on the karaoke night.
And I was like, I like you. He was like, I like you. We're friends now. That's essentially what happened. And then one of the really cool rooms opened up where it's like a cohabitating room or, you know, they have a really nice living room. I wanted it. And so they gave it to me. And but I had to find somebody to partner up with to have the other one. And so I chose him. And so that's kind of how we became roommates. And then we became really close, you know, because we'd be talking all the time. And we'd tell each other, like, our insecurities, what led us to do this. It's very painful. So like, you know, we, you know, console each other and stuff. And yeah, we'd watch scary movies, like almost every night. And so, because I don't get to watch scary movies at home because my wife's against it. So like, I took that opportunity to just binge all of the scary movies that I could. So we just got, became really close friends that way.

**Derek** (3:14)
Cool. He, what was his before and after stats? Start at five, five, five?

**Brian** (3:23)
I think he was.

**Derek** (3:24)
I feel like he said publicly he's gained more height than you even.

**Brian** (3:28)
I think so. Yeah.

**Derek** (3:29)
He went from five, five, if I recall correctly, to six feet, supposedly.

**Brian** (3:34)
I think so. I think he did because I think it was seven inches what he gained.

**Derek** (3:41)
Now, is that like the most extreme of people at the clinic or up there with the top or?

**Brian** (3:48)
It's up there because if you're not including the actual owner of the clinic, I think the most, I think that's around the most. People don't really get over 15 or 16 I don't even know anyone who has actually done 16 centimeters.
