[@Mothman1992]

My great grandmother actually knew him. There's a picture of him sitting on her couch with two people on either side of him (big ass couch) and he has his hands hanging down either side

[@seannborba8416]

I wonder how many times he got the "hows the weather up there?" Joke

[@Instinct_editz9]

You stole that joke from the people who said that to him

[@ccastro306]

those shoes weren't worn by Wadlow unless he was like 8 years old at the time. His final shoes were 18 1/2 inches long. Those are WAY smaller than that.

I loved the interview! I've wanted to hear it for years! :D

[@Ripleys]

So glad to hear that you enjoyed it! 🤩

[@williamj.hansard5802]

Thank you so much for sharing the radio interview! I would love to hear more of Ripley's radio shows! I'm not sure about the complexities of copyright, but it were possible to put them out sort of like a podcast, or even sell them, I think that would be great!

[@Ripleys]

So happy you enjoyed it! We've been receiving great feedback about this audio. We'll do our best to incorporate the Ripley radio shows into more of our future content. 😁

[@shiqitan8357]

His voice is deep for a 19 year old

[@souvlaki9951]

This channel needs more subscribers and viewers

[@B__BayuKusuma]

Yeah dude

[@Ripleys]

We won't disagree there! Be sure to share your favorite videos with friends and family. 😁

[@latexu9589]

As the tallest member of my own family, I can fully relate to Wadlow.😉

[@KD7ONE]

My wife just asked me if "everything" was in proportion on him.......

[@ImEverywherelikeEverywhere]

Sooo When r u gonna walk in his shoes? or the title or explaining got wrong

[@bradynanderson4907]

Nice

[@adriangussolovskiworld9440]

közen is 2.51 m tall and Robert wadlow was 2.72 m tall . I wonder If we will have a man in future that will be taller than him

[@shiqitan8357]

I don't think so

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

I doubt that, because now they can operate and remove tumor in the pituitary gland

[@brodie2005thegamer]

Him not graduating in June 1935 reminds me of another time another tall guy named Clint Eastwood was held back to middle school due to bad grades. He also had to complete summer school. While attending Piedmont High School, Clint was asked to leave due to breaking their rules.

[@YT_FnIceyy]

It’s a size 40 shoe

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

37AA was his shoe size

[@isaac8321]

He never walked a mile with the shoes lol
