You should do a tutorial video on how to quit youtube and do it
@Raiden huh?
crash bandicoot
he did it are you frickin happy now
Does going to bed late effect hgh, I get 8 hours quality sleep every night.
Guy...
drew its okay. you're not the perfect size but you're a size
YOU TEAMED WITH A DUMPSTER FIRE SHAME ON YOU
Does going to bed late effect hgh, I get 8 hours quality sleep.
It’s the annoying guy!
Good video
I have the solution for you Drew! In the movie Gattaca, the main character Vincent needs to get taller so he can be an astronaut, so he breaks his legs and braces the bones a couple inches apart so that they healing bones grow towards each other and meet in the middle. This actually works, taking advantage of body's natural healing functions. Can't wait for the video where you do it!
@dochka Alright thank you for explaining
@Yass BA no experience in this extremely complex and dangerous field of surgery, they tried their best but its ridiculously complex and the treatment after surgery is equally if not more important, which sadly most hospitals are simply not able to handle. there are only a handful of hospitals globally which actually do it well, even if they do their best
@dochka Since when would that stop Drew from from going all the way for his viewers. Drew, if you don't get this surgery I will unsubscribe! /s
@Julian No Last Name In the movie, he basically impersonates someone taller than him, so thats why be does it. In the movie the only thing looked at are your genes, super great movie tbh, a chemistry teacher recommended me it
I can't believe Drew didn't go for the whole "swim for several hours a day five days a week" thing.
I'm sure that would have worked and he would have gotten taller.
@ralek lmao
Serious?
Let's all learn to be 13 inches kinder ❤️
Yes! 🤩 That was the best line of the video...
Drew is unironically a good actor. His acting in his skits is actually quite convincing.
@spring heeled jack drew is Clip-Share.
as much can be expected after damn near a decade
Not what I saw but okay. If your standard is that low then that’s what you’ve got going on.
ok
ok
I absolutely love the idea of Amanda going to a normal job as a Vietnam veteran and Drew is just sleeping and stretching for his job lol
vietnam vietnam
I know this is a month old but she's stated she doesn't like those jokes they make her uncomfortable
Pretty sure she said she wants the veteran jokes to stop.
@Kristian Alexis I believe you're right, but I just liked the idea of saying she was a veteran of a war that happened long before she was born lol
I love Drew’s “I have a sponsor and it’s the end of the month” posting schedule. The most dependable of commentary Clip-Share
@Matt Cottrell No, I think so. Waiting until the end of the month when they're contractually obligated makes it REALLY feel like they're only uploading videos out of obligation, not because they want to, but because they're being forced to if they want money. And after all of them are like "yeah I quit my regular job to be a full-time youtuber" seeing them all go on to be like "it's my contractually obligated one video a month :D" is really annoying.
On top of them all doing no research into their sponsors so they all end up promoting some scummy company that scams people.
I do appreciate that in Drew's case his required monthly video at least seems to be something that took a while to prepare. These guys who have their one monthly video that's just them making mildly funny comments in response to a 20 minute episode of Next or whatever... like at least put effort into your required video a month that is apparently your only source of income while you're living in a 3 bedroom house inhabited solely by you and your wife.
i’m always looking forward to the 28th-31st
@Amar Beganovic no it’s really not
@Amar Beganovic no, I don’t think so! We appreciate the content, he needs to make a living, and everyone can get what they need!
Yeah it's kinda scummy lowkey
I was 5'11 before watching this video and now after watching the whole thing I can happily confirm I am now 5'11, thanks Drew you just changed my life
At least you didn't shrink, like Drew! 😅
before watching this video i was only 5'9, but now i am 7'2. drew also changed my life.
I was 5'11 and I used to be you, but now I am me (6'1) so it kinda worked?
I guess?
Just have to get used to "my" new friends. Are you me now, or are we in different dimensions?
😢
Damn him describing how bad he felt after his sleep schedule was messed up makes me wanna experience the joy of a good sleep schedule. This might inspire some self-improvement, thx man
@yeah ok I've recently been sleeping so long that each time I wake up it's like I have to re-learn how to be a human...
Same- the other night, my alarm didn’t wake me, so I slept and actually got enough for once. Even though I woke up late in the day and didn’t have much time before work, I felt almost good for once
Same here, I've been sleeping too much for ages and it's so hard to break out of
As a lady who averaged 4 hours of sleep nightly during puberty but kept growing to 5’9” I’m loving the sleep emphasis in these tutorials
@AR M also mostly making a joke off of the fact that I know younger kiddos would hear that advice and think “if I sleep 20 hours a day I will get taller!” 😂
@AR M oh I totally know it’s like all genetics! I just found it funny how important they all said it was and did a little reflection 👀 😂
literalllllly im 6’3” n did not sleep at all thru puberty 😭😭😭
you weren't able to remove your limiter
Well that one youtuber actually explained it - that sleeping right and eating healthy is important, but genetics play the biggest factor. If you never slept and only ever ate junk food, you might've ended up shorter but if genetics gave you a potential height of 5'9" then you were never going to end up 3 feet tall.
Can't believe Drew didn't just break his legs, separate them a few millimeters, and wait for them to heal over the course of several months in order to lengthen them.
@ThEsEwInGgEeK miri It actually does work. But like you said, all the hassle that goes with it is really not worth going from 175 cm to 176.5 cm.
Also, even if the growth _was_ significant, you'd then run into the problem of having arms that look weirdly out of place next to your disproportionately lengthier legs.
@ThEsEwInGgEeK miri it's used quite routinely to fix bone deformities, but recently some people have been using it for cosmetic reasons
well, like he said, his standards were raised after the YT shorts vid, and he didn't have all week
jokesd aside, I'm actually wondering if this would work...I mean, the pain, physical therapy, and waiitng probably wouldn't make the few milimeters difference of height worth it, but still, I wonder if the science would check out (UNDER SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES).
Actually the subliminal did work. You were 5’2 at the end of Velma but then the subliminal audio made you grow to 5’10. You should really be thanking them.
@danah al_ghabban because you’re not realizing, the one who makes the methods work is YOU , therefore if you don’t believe it’ll work… it won’t!
Hello, I have been using subliminals for about 20 days, but I have not found any results. Do you know what could be the reason?
Drew
.. I've got GREAT NEWS!!
I was watching this on my projector TV against my house wall and I measured... You're actually 11.4 ft tall!!!
Congratulations
Nice
@Drew Gooden I made a drew gooden gangsta paradise because I was bored
@Drew Gooden Please tell me where we’re going Drew, I’m scared
@midgetsparkle but why if we dont warn him the second drew gooden can more easily squish the first one
@mudasbz I’m watching on my neighbors tv through their window. He’s 0.2 inches tall.
Am I the only one who thought Drew was already oddly tall?? Like when he said he’s 5’11 I was shocked bc he has the look of one of those freakishly lanky 6’4 people like Ted Nivison
Hey....im 6'4"....im not lanky....😒🤣
I thought he was like 5'9 for some reason.
@Delaney Russell hitting 6' and making lots of ca$h are the two positive features I --have.-- use to convince --myself-- girls that I'm cool and decent, and *not* actually just an empty, soulless monster of a man entirely bereft of redeeming qualities. 🙂
🥲
@Tezcatlipoc lol nice
@Delaney Russell Average for a male in the US is 5'9", IIRC. And worldwide average is even shorter!
_edit:_ I'm 6' exactly though so suck it Drew 🙃
My mom had spinal fusion surgery for her scoliosis and she grew 2.5 inches. So that’s always an option Drew 😂
Honestly biggest props to Amanda here. Could you imagine having a husband whos going through existential dread because he's trying to grow taller by watching subliminal messages on youtube and sleeping all day. Like could you imagine your partner telling you thats why they were irritable
Everything you said around 9:43 is a lot like chronic pain. We don't have the option sometimes to not oversleep or sit and do nothing. And we feel those exact same things you said. Even mental illness. I have physical and mental disability. I sleep lots because I can't work, or do constant tasks. But in that I get overwhelmed, I get irritable, and I get depressed.
I like how you worded it. Very relatable
yeah it hit pretty hard too
fun fact, height is actually not just determined by genetics and it’s still being studied a lot, but another major factor is the nutrition of the mother during pregnancy and the child’s environment, diet and lifestyle for about the first 2 years of life :) love your videos so much and BTW the blonde hair really suits you, Ninja!!
Drew is slowly evolving into his Jenna marbles era of making the most random video concepts and im so here for it
lowkey i feel like Jenna was ahead of her time by doing random unstructured videos of whatever she wants bc I feel like that’s a really popular genre rn
I wish she was back
@molly it's ok molly, you're fine
@molly i actually very much disagree, i was a big fan of hers and most of her content didn’t revolve around makeup, much less makeup trends. i mean unless you count making a bald cap out of eyelashes a makeup trend. off the top of my head i can remember some of her videos like “turning my hair into a race track”, or “seeing how many balloons it takes to hold my dog” which i honestly think is significantly more creative than a good majority of the things drew does. like you said though, it doesn’t really matter who is more creative, just my thought on it
it's also very Jenna Marbles in the sense that we will all just watch it no matter what insane topic it's about
I feel like it’s really irresponsible of Drew to include audio from those subliminals. As soon as they started playing I thought, yikes, bc I’m finally fucking confidant about my height. But sure enough, I woke up today and had grown two feet. So thanks drew, now I have to deal with that
Drew manically discussing his intent to manipulate gravity with a goddamn minion side-eyeing him in the background is the soothing content I needed today THANKS BUDDY
As a person that was 5'10 in the Netherlands, where everyone is huge, I thank you for this video. I didn't grow, but at least I am very well stretched.
Drew talking about sleeping too much is reminder that when you're depressed, constantly sleeping is both a symptom and an increasing factor :c Don't sleep too much and get out bed if you can
@Failure2ThriveBB alarm? 😁 u can do it!
I really wanna fix my sleep schedule so I don't sleep as much but idk how to do that:(
This video was unironically so helpful to me, I found myself struggling with the exact things you were describing when you talked about sleeping. I used to think I slept so much because I was depressed, but now I know that sleeping so much is making me more depressed! I'm going to get a healthier sleep schedule and make more of my life.
Thanks Danny!
Drew is trying to grow big enough to not have to go into Danny's tactical stroller
That video is literally the suggested video under this for me.
Love this comment thread oml 😭🤣
@; l e m o n Laura will push him
Truly
but how would danny go around with himself in the stroller
In defense of Dr Mike, what he says is completely true. Because it’s a TikTok, it’s likely that much of his audience consists of kids or young people. What he said was “this will make you grow as tall as possible.” He didn’t claim that you could rewrite your genetic identity. He just gave you health advice about eating well and exercising. Malnutrition and an unhealthy lifestyle can stunt your growth. Therefore: eat well, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly to avoid stunted growth.
@wysteria Yeah, my thoughts exactly, that was the reason I stopped watching. He seems like such a hypocrite. He was preaching social distancing to everyone and then goes off and does this. Especially at the time in 2020 it made me so angry because a close friend and coworker died from covid not long before 'dr' mike was spotted on that yacht.
oh sure, but i don't think ill ever be able to trust that guy after he was spotted on some yacht party in the middle of the pandemic
Been looking for this comment! I hope more people see it since some people might not understand that dr. mike is indeed an actual doctor. What he's saying is valid, though only applies to kids who are still growing, and dr. mike definitely knows that.
wtf Drew's speech about sleeping longer and staying up later and not doing enough really hit home for me.
Yeah, for me, too. I just realized I'm not depressed, I just need to fix my sleeping pattern... 😇🙌🏻💜 I'm so glad I watched this, it was so relatable...
Anyways, goodnight, got to go to bed early tonight! 🙈
My favorite part about Drew is if I tried to guess what his next topic would be, and I never have, it would be nearly impossible to guess what Danny would come up with next. Great job, Kurt! 👏
I grew from 1'6 to 5'10 in just 20 years from watching Drew Gooden videos
My sister in law did get "taller" from doing yoga. Pretty much because her posture improved and because it got normalizes as you practice every day you don't have to use your mental focus to consciously correct your posture.
So I keep telling myself I'm also gonna start doing yoga, but I still have not lmao. Will I ever? I don't know! Only time will tell! Probably not!
Sounds more like she was just always slouching when she got her height measured before
I love how drew is slowly building very tiny healthy habits through these dumb these. Like what a round about way to realize stretching is good
@Freddie Brown whar?
Freak
@Amysel Jinkusu-P when you of in the cold food of out the hot eat the food?
Like that one video where he was testing products and dicovered garlic press
@Amysel Jinkusu-P When you
I have scoliosis too and had to get spinal fusion surgery to correct it and after the surgery I was 3cm taller so my advice to get taller is to have major surgery :) guaranteed results
As someone who has used and believes in manifestation, the subliminal bit was actually so funny 😭
ive used subliminals for years and i laughed LMAO i love him
It’s funny to see this because I was just discussing with my partner that I feel like I’ve gotten taller from yoga! I feel perhaps an inch taller from near-daily practice for almost two years. But there’s no evidence, just a feeling, so it very well could be better posture and a stronger back causing a placebo effect!
there is evidence that's a thing bc you're decompressing your spine and improving your posture! it's not like literally your bones or anything grows lol. but it's still technical height increase bc we all get a bit compressed especially leaning over all the time
The part where the Papa John’s delivery guy said “no I just fell” got me good
this was the most helpful subliminal video !! I was 5’2 while watching this but i needed to go outside soo i put on my crocs and i sprung to 5’3 !
Thanks Drew !
I felt like an idiot for half expecting you to grow taller everytime you measured yourself
pinely!!
why did i get so upset when i read this it’s not even a spoiler but it feels like one
Somewhere deep in my soul, I too kinda wanted it to work
omg didn’t expect to see my father here (but fr shouldn’t be surprised). Hi orr (:
@TertiaryConsumer he’s gunna be in the nba if he takes his training seriously
drew i’m so high and listening to you talk about finite minutes of the day is making me feel insane thank you
I like to think this video exists because Drew realized how he can claim the inversion table he’s been wanting as a business expense.
11:28 "Get Eleven's telekinesis powers" LOL
a spinal fusion made me grow 2 and a half inches, it also stopped me from dying but like, i think the 2 and a half inches was the real goal
Hearing Drew describe how I felt every day for a long, long, long time no matter what amount of sleep I get made me cry. Love the video though.
Drew thanks for keeping subliminals a secret by pretending they don't work, you're the best!
@david gallagher "you are Ariana Grande, you have blonde hair, you are skeletal skinny, you are a VS angel, you have a hot mafia boyfriend who only wears black"
exactly!! XD
"You are a strong, confident woman who does not need to smoke, a strong, confident woman..."
this is actually the best comment
lol
I love watching these videos immediately after a 2 hr in depth video essay - it’s like a pallet cleanser
I’m this far in: 8:30
I’m a cancer survivor, I went through sixteen rounds of radiation. Because of that, the doctors said I can’t ever get taller.
Then I started a job. I started standing straight more often (which is hard, I also have scoliosis) and I gained a half inch!
"He's gone...."
"No, I just fell."
Drew Gooden #1 truly is the master of nonchalant humour.
i’ve watched this video 3 times already because drew is so funny but i genuinely am starting to think he doesn’t know that nutrition and sleep are necessary for height growth during puberty 😭
My grandma always tell the story of how, when she was a kid (in the 30's or early 40's) she and her sisters wanted to grow taller and decided to buy a contraption in secret, after having seen an ad for it on a newspaper. The way it worked is it would let you hang from the doorframe (kind of like a pull up bar). they did not grow taller.
drew's one sided beef with the other drew gooden is too hilarious I hope if it ever ends it ends with them meeting
@Lacking Creativity where did you get three from
only one will escape the meeting
It's beefier than the Danny Drew Daddy Defunkel
lmao yes!!! 😂
I hope he lets Drew ride on his back so he finally knows what it's like to be tall!
The swimming thing made me laugh. I was a year round swimmer for seven years and had two hour practices six days a week. I’m 5’3”
@Digiorno Pizza Yes Italian genetics will mean that you are tiny. But luckily enough i'm 5'7
Lots of Italian genetics 😂 I will definitely take that over a disease
being 5'3 is just genetics (or a childhood disease but i don't think that's what happened to you. at least i hope it didn't)
I peaked at 5'3" and I feel like this video was made for me 😂 Also, that Runescape 'Free Armor Trimming' bait was SUCH a deep cut 😂 will always love Drew and his sense of humor.
Tsk if you had listened to Jenna Marbles I wanna be tall every day for 30 days (and followed her phenomenal tips in the I wanna be tall video) you would have grown to 7ft guaranteed. If anyone else is looking to get taller I recommend trying it. You won't regret it.
It's funny that all of those weird and impossible claims that Drew tries to test are only making him exercise and eat healthier 😂
You're glowing, Drew, don't stop.
seeing as you have scoliosis (so do I) you're actually one of the few-ish people in the world who could actually get taller past their growing period ...through spinal fusion surgery :-----)
this video made me realize i’ve always just assumed drew was freakishly tall?? why was 5’11 such a shock to me?
Drew is literally the best at sponsor ads, I always watch all the way through
I realized the sleep rant perfectly explained how adhd has made me feel my entire life lmao 😂💀 constant dread and fear of running out of time!
I feel like Drew could cook just fine alone with how long he’s used/been sponsored by Hello Fresh
Hey drew? I was wondering how nice it feels to have consistent views! I noticed you’ve been getting at least 2 mil on most vids lately, that’s rad, love your stuff
Drew describing the struggles of sleeping too much is also just describing depression.
Lethargy fucks with depression so badly
We must to believe in Jesus Christ. He's coming soon
THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING. I was like this sounds so familiar to my life 🫣
For real. I have a daughter now so I have obligations for me to get up, keep the house tidy to a degree etc (she's still small enough to be a danger to herself so I don't have much of a choice there). but back when I was a young adult I would spend my free time literally napping or on the couch all day long except to get up and have a snack. Literally all day. I used marijuana to cope and thought the laziness was due to being stoned all the time but once I found out I was pregnant and stopped smoking I still found myself sinking into the couch all day.
To this day my husband will come home from work sometimes and ask me how my day was, what did I do etc and thinking back it's like a black hole. I have no idea where my time went, the day flies by and I am frozen. Luckily he is understanding and doesn't get on my case and will take care of the bulk of parenting duties when I'm having a particularly hard day.
@mateuszbugaj799 This take is very short-sighted and reductive of a mental condition that many people, myself included, suffer from. Please try to be a bit more open minded and kind, we are all people behind these screens and are all fighting our own battles.
Maybe the real height gain was the friends we made along the way!
i genuinely hope you are doing ok drew. i worry about you.
I think the reason Drew got shorter is because he was sleeping so much, and sleep puts pressure on the spine causing compression. What the people who were hanging did was decompress their spine hence increasing their height. This only works if your feet aren’t touching the ground while you’re holding on.
yoga and exercise DID actually improve my posture, which in turn made me taller or at least makes me appear slightly taller! but i’m talking like half an inch here. and i think downward dog which they specifically mention was helpful in facilitating that. just sayin i guess. love the vids as always
Have you tried having a second puberty? Similar to the first one that destroys our childhoods, a second puberty might also make u even more taller-er! My buddy tried it and they're really happy with their results! As an added bonus, he grew this really great knee-length beard over night, and can now speak in sub bass frequencies! A great alternative to second puberty is wearing platform heels and a really tall hat, which is not only fashionable, but demands attention and respect! I know a cool clown that can hook you up with some stilts if that's more your style! Perhaps you have a good friend that shares your "lofty desires", you can work together and reap the benefits! Just sit on their shoulders wearing a fedora, sunglasses, and an extra long trench coat! All of these options are guaranteed to achieve that authentic "second puberty feel" of hitting your head on doorways, ducking in the shower, getting banned from most establishments, and making babies cry at very the sight of you! If you're looking for a bold statement height for a night out on the town, consider combining all these looks to replicate that "ultimate tall guy" physique that the ladies love! Good luck finding a blanket that covers your toes and have fun being a phenomenal basketball player!
Your writing is top tier. So cohesive and genuinely funny.
yep it never fails. that pizza bit cracked me up
Somewhat maybe, possibly might agree?
Fully disagree.
disagree.
I had to pause this for a second to say lol They're literally talking about POSTURE! haha Yes, pilates, yoga, stretching, etc. will improve your posture and you will feel taller and leaner and more flexible but not TALLER LOL This is all hilarious lol I'm watching this during my lunch hour at work and we (2 nurses, one PA) are laughing our asses off lol
Glad to see another youtuber join Jenna Marbles in making a resolution to grow absurdly tall
this video was so good that im commenting how good it was and i dont leave comments on videos. usually. i even watched the whole sponsorship part thing. good job drew
fun fact: you're actually tallest when you first wake up! your spinal discs compress during the day and expand while lying down, so the sleeping for longer tip isn't 100% wrong... provided you only spend like 1 hour per day awake
Drew is so good at acting I forget I’m watching him sometimes
instructions unclear, im now 0'6"
@Willow no
Well the average is 5" so congratulations
did you watch velma
@tie nah my reply went hard
none of you are funny :(
Most of these are definitely geared toward kids, but! If you wanna improve your posture or you have mild scoliosis and don't really wanna pay for therapy, exercising and stretching will help out a ton, particularly if you do core and low back workouts to help keep your back straight. Once you've worked on full body for a bit (assuming you're starting from scratch) some targeting things would be chest opening stretches, reverse flies to strengthen your back (and you'll definitely feel it on the shoulder your spine curves to if you have scoliosis), chest press (really focus on putting your shoulders in the same position and you'll feel them be more symmetric over time if you originally had one that flared out a bit), and stretching and strengthening your traps. If you can get resistance bands, those are also great!
When he said “I hate Clip-Share shorts” you know he meant that with every fiber of his being
Wow, I've never heard of subliminals and my life now feels like a night terror.
2:25 Dr. Mike is an actual doctor... hes probably talking about people who are still able to grow. Dr. Mike is a very well respected dude overall, so he wouldn't just make random tiktoks saying you can magically get taller
@sdaa He preached about social distancing during the worst of covid in 2020 and went to party on a boat with dozens of people while there was a lockdown. Then posted his apology video on his more obscure second channel so people wouldn't see it but he could still claim he apologised. This doesn't fill me with confidence about his statements.
@Dun Dovah what did he do lmao
Well, he's just joking and I wouldn't call dr mike well respected after the shit he pulled, although he did only post his 'apology' on his second channel. so it's no surprise to me.
There is also bone surgery. That can make you taller.
That's what I was thinking. I'm sure he's talking to adolescents. Teens need more sleep than adults. So drew sleeping as much as a teen needs is pointless.
You vids always bring a smile to my face.. GG fam. You rock!!!
"He's gone" "No, I just fell" is the funniest thing I've seen all month.
Must have been a depressing ass month, sorry to hear that bro
@Jacob Mulder time to watch it again I guess
It’s the first day of the month
ok
Jenna Marbles has a really good tutorial on being tall. I think you could learn a lot from that one.
Scrolled all the way down to see this!
17:40 that’s so nice of him! He traded me three mystic robe tops while we were in the wilderness together the other day, he’s truly so generous!
drew's videos have a cinematic quality to them that i deeply enjoy
Hey drew, I’ve been having such a hard time but im excited to watch this. Keep it up
I used to do subliminals religiously 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂🤣 i was the most delusional teen.
I love how Drew just made a video proving a basic concept of being a human being that we all already knew, that we can't make ourselves grow taller, and we all watched it
@nat ???????? have you ever seen king of the hill? cause you could use cotton hill’s life hack. the catch is that you cannot be a coward
i wanna know how to decrease my height im way too tall
what can i say, i'm stupid
@kiki pretty much
Hanging to grow taller has the same energy as using a pump to get "larger"
Most of those things are important to be fair. Its just that it only helps if you havent finished growing. Genetics does play a very large role, however height is a multifactorial trait
drew i wanted to think of a funny comment but i can’t so i just want to say i love your videos thank you for making them ❤
I went from 5'5 to 5'6 as an adult. Granted, it was because I was measuring myself wrong before, but still
as someone with procrastination problem the sleep vs time and productivity was probably the worst thing to hear while here…..i thought drew was in my room scolding me like a concerned friend who was disappointed in me
Hearing the symptoms of sleeping too long from Drew really made me realize that a lot of the problems I’ve been having is from sleeping 10+ hours a day
i sleep a lot because i have constant fatigue due to a chronic health condition lol. i thought i was just depressed but i actually had a hormone issue as well.
eating healthy and trying to exercise a lit bit every day really improved my life and the sleep cycle kind of follows that and improves too
God same. I really needed to hear that
That part was a wake up call (no pun intended) I didn’t want, but appreciate nonetheless.
no bc same. maybe I should try sleeping less actually
Drew always has a 30 second segment where he has to remind everyone he was an english major
I love how he throws in the other Drew Gooden in his videos every so often 😂
well composed content , i like the way you break your video down
as someone who's 5'6 going on 20, I tried everything in this video and I'm now registered for the 2023 NBA Draft! thanks so much Drew!
yknow i’m a short guy and at this point i’ve accepted it and like… it’s actually good that i’m short. it’s a lot more advantageous. i feel like ppl who wanna change their height so much should just accept themselves and focus on other things.
The "more sleep resulted in depression symptoms" part was extremely interesting and also a little concerning.
@SHIGARUMO we are the same (except i have been diagnosed w adhd)
@RanchoFundo 💯
It may also be because he was sleeping more all in one go. It may have been better to leave his nightly sleep schedule unchanged while trying out naps in the day.
@Spider i would recommend looking into energy management techniques and plans if you havent already, and doing what you can to make things easier. like pre-made meals if you can afford it, or using a chair in the shower. i know its not the best solution if youre worse than moderate, but hopefully you can find some use out of it if you havent before. other than that, i just try to enjoy the good days as best i can. i wish all the luck to you, i know this shit sucks.
I find it hard to go to sleep at night because I just feel like it's a waste of time, if I just stayed awake all day and all night I could do so much more with my life, but sadly, I need to sleep to be able to do anything. So even if I'm awake all day and I should go to bed, I end up just staying awake in bed doing all the things I didn't do during the day, which leads to me being awake until morning, and then falling asleep right around when daylight starts shining, and then when I wake up at 1-4 PM, I feel like I've wasted a day, which makes me stay up the rest of the day and all night, and the cycle continues. It doesn't help that the more this happens, the more I'm awake at nighttime compared to daytime, basically being awake the same amount of time I would be during the day, but just flipped, meaning I'm not saving any time at all, or staying awake more, so nothing has been solved by this bad habit, all that's different is that I'm awake on a completely different schedule from everyone else in my house, making me drift farther and farther away from them.
I started doing back, shoulder and core exercises alongside my normal weight lifting routine and everyone tells me I grew taller, I assume posture is to blame although I always try to stand tall and straight so idk
You should do the leg lengthening surgery where they smash your bones and put bolts and things into your bones to make you slightly taller. Apparently it’s one of the most painful surgeries to go through. Would be interesting to see lol.
nothing better than having my dreams of getting taller get absolutely demolished by Dew Gooden while eating baby pickles on a Friday evening
