harlie Ponger & Debbie Nigro:All right, so I'll do the first one because it's about guys. Okay. So you start out with a forehead and now all of a sudden, you have a five head. I don't get it. So five heads. So if you put four fingers on your forehead, I get it right. That's the forehead. But now that you're getting older, now you got to put another finger under there and you got to five. I would never
ebbie Nigro & Charlie Ponger:guess that we lost a good one. That's a really good point, guys. I'm so sorry. Why does the hair recede? So far back,
harlie Ponger & Debbie Nigro:please. What do I know? It's a bicycle so far. I'm okay. In the front. You know,

ebbie Nigro & Charlie Ponger:I got a vision right now of what I used to do. My parents back in the day, parents used to have other couples ring the doorbell come to the house, sit in the living room, and wait for them to get ready to go out. Like rarely who does that, but they would send me in as one of the kids entertained those people until they got finished getting dressed, which was like really the rudest sport ever. So I was like, hey, people, look what I learned in dancy school they're like, oh, this little chubby bitch is gonna start doing cartwheels and when I would do a cartwheel over the house, I was doing his dance handstands twirl around I was good
