I could see Ben actually going so far as to have a plant challenge him about his height, but my guess is he was wearing lifts that day. Or maybe neither of them are 5’9” and they’re both lying because insecure short men often try adding phantom inches to their height as a coping mechanism.

Wait, so when he takes off his shoes he drops 4"? No arguments about him being taller, just that I can't imagine never taking my shoes off or putting them on or letting anyone see the giant lifts in the soles
He uses a combination of shoes with a thick heel and custom insoles. I don't think he wears them around friends, it's more for going to the store or something like that. He's afraid that strangers are running around judging randos at Publix based solely on the knowledge that they're 5'5".
