Charlie Ponger: 00:31

Debbie Charlie: 00:44

Like round sound squares. Yeah, whatever they are. You've ever been in a recording studio? They have like, you know, spongy squares of like gray black. Yeah. foam on the wall RSR, right? So Charlie's got them over there. They're stacked and they're not on a wall. They just sit around like the left. Something's gonna put up some day. And all of a sudden, I want to go. I didn't want to overreact. I go. What's that? Like, what is that? And it's purple and lime green. And there's yellow underneath interlocking play school school foam things that kids bounce around on? Right? So he puts it on the table. But now there's like not enough table? And that's where I put my tequila.

Charlie Ponger: 01:22

Oh, is that what happened? on your lap? Oh my gosh, right. So wet. You are not gonna fall off the chair though. No, no. Look

Debbie Charlie: 01:31

out of the house. People like, Oh, she should have checked. Yeah, I think you're on like, had a problem.

Charlie Ponger: 01:35

So I want to go back to an episode we did a while back. And it was called something like the pillows right? And I told a story about remember where you were on the phone and you text me about hey, how's that woman? And I said it's over the why the pillows and you pull up the road? You're most likely lost. Right right now and and so just to refresh everyone's memory quickly. Yes. Um, there was a breakup with myself and this woman over pillows because she freaked out about me moving around moving the pillows around, right? So fast forward. Concerning all of a sudden there was around my birthday. And I get this text is this way after she heard heard the show? About the show? I have no idea like what she's googling man. And anyway,

Debbie Charlie: 02:25

I tell you, you're goofing on her. And she wants to kill but

Charlie Ponger: 02:28

she had no idea that I mean, I didn't never use anyone's names or anything like that. You

Debbie Charlie: 02:32

know, the pillows or the reason you broke up?

Charlie Ponger: 02:34

Well, this, this is this the text. I didn't tell you this. The text I received was, it wasn't just the pillows. So I thought, Well, she didn't even do a smiley face or anything like that. And so I better better leave that one alone.

Debbie Charlie: 02:50

Ah, there's a lot of reasons why people break up. They never talk. Oh, ever. They don't. They don't say what the reasons. So

Charlie Ponger: 02:58

then I get an email, a scathing email, right. So I mean, that's after the text. It was the next day. I guess I really got her goat. It was unintentional.

Debbie Charlie: 03:09

Why, what? And how did she hear the show? She must have,

Charlie Ponger: 03:13

you know, it was around my birthday. The only thing I can assume is that she I don't know. She looked me up for my birthday. I don't know. I have no idea is so anyway, I get this massive email. So the only thing I could write back was just said, I wrote back and I said, well, um, I guess you don't get my humor. Right? Oh, yeah. He, and then she responded back again. I was like, she's still not laughing about any of this kind of stuff now. So that was the end of that. So now I wait. I gotta tell you something else.

Debbie Charlie: 03:45

Okay, more more reasons why people break up with.

Charlie Ponger: 03:48

So well, this one was really weird. I'm at this party with this at this media place with this guy. You know, his house is overlooking Central Park and I meet this woman, this woman meets me there. And another guy that I knew that was on air and she was on air with him. He was very famous at the time. And he calls me the next day and he's like, bro, you got to do me a favor. You got to go out with this woman. And I'm like, alright, and he goes, Yeah, he goes she she's asking me for your number and I'm giving

Debbie Charlie: 04:20

Debbie Charlie: 08:23

hiding something. And the big reveal comes sometimes the unexpected. And it's like shocking. Yeah.

Debbie Charlie: 12:23

Would you call yourself a granola jockey have

Charlie Ponger: 12:24

a good Oh yeah. Well my grandmother warm that's why she her name was Angelina and they were the stockings remember the old Italian women that were the stockings with the black they were all black after those ones died and the stockings went up to like a certain part and then they kind of rolled them down. Do you remember that?

Debbie Charlie: 12:41

Charlie Ponger: 12:45

they were they roll them down. Roll them down. Yeah,

Debbie Charlie: 12:47

it was crazy crazy. So anyway, we're still talking about penny Oh had a good pantyhose story. What? Back in the day when? No women don't wear pantyhose anymore. They like what are they wear? I don't they just canceled pantyhose one day they just told me like Sorry. So what do they do? They were not nothing. Well, your granola people Yeah, no girls, they were like nothing in the winter like the legs are perfect is no like sound like Zana you get me all excited granola girls, the rest of the population was like oh my god that canceled pants. Are they wearing tights now tighter in Oh,

Charlie Ponger: 13:19

wait so the tights replace shear pantyhose, so they're no longer around?

Debbie Charlie: 13:24

Well, they must be I think the Rockettes still wear them but

Charlie Ponger: 13:28

it's like ooh, that's what about the line the ones with the line in the back?

Debbie Charlie: 13:32

It used to be sexy right? Yeah, pinup girls in the sexy. Anyway, fast forward two legs eggs. That was a big thing at one time. I remember seeing that generational these have a display and all those drugstores and the pantyhose came in an egg right so I had so many legs eggs I thought what am I gonna do with these eggs? There has to be something creative. And one Christmas I said I'm gonna make all my legs eggs into Christmas ornaments. I did pick all the eggs that I might put a different like Sydney scene inside each one and on the outside all kinds of ribbons and jewelry and I to this day every Christmas when I open the box yes my legs egg ornaments I think oh my god I was a genius. So

Charlie Ponger: 14:12

what was the point of wearing pantyhose anyway? Well, to keep your legs warm or to make them look better I don't even know

Debbie Charlie: 14:18

make them look better. Is that right? Yeah because it oh they make you tight little tighter and a little smoother and it deflects any kind of like you know veins and things whatever that's why oh pegs and tights now do the trick. Yeah. Oh pig tights on pigs and I don't want to dress in so long though. This whole pandemic thing? Where you going in a dress so though Oh yeah. People are so sick and tired of wearing you know, I guess pajamas and leggings and just looking like crud there's actually a trend happening right now for like lingerie like these flowy night dress things in satin. No, I'm not kidding. I'm using my hands to explain satin and silk. Like night dresses are in. Really good. Women are like okay, we got to try something

Charlie Ponger: 15:01

so is it kind of getting back to um days of when when women would get dressed up and all that do you think people are gonna skirt start get started getting dressed up all over again

Debbie Nigro: 15:12

look I'm gonna go out I was rooting for to be the roaring after the roaring 20s 20s That's what I mean I was I had so much fringe lined up this post pandemic sense that I'm just waiting to pull the trigger I gotta be honest with you. It's gonna be all fringe all day. Even my windshield wipers I'm gonna car we're gonna be friends. I got to break out
