Summary
A caller from South Jersey (Editor's Note: 856 4EVER) tells Gethard what it was like being more than six feet tall by age 10 and growing up as, by far, the tallest girl in school while still being the "runt" in a very tall family. She also fills Geth in on the rollercoaster process of adoption, tells us why making bad art matters just as much as making good art, and shares some very Jersey stories along the way.

Hallie's coming with me. So I don't plan on checking my phone too much, and I'm hoping to not have to bring any microphones to do any last-minute recordings.
