    How many midgets can I crack in 30 days?

Transcript

Today is day four of my experiment to see how many freaky midgets I can crack in thirty days. And after linking up with Lisa last night, I've now added another crack to the list. I've now cracked two midgets in four days, but I know I should at least be averaging one a day. So what I'm gonna do is find an aesthetic picture of a model that these midgets already find attractive and just have AI replace his face with mine so I can get a hyper realistic photo for my dating apps, and I don't have to go out and take a photo shoot. And all I personally use is Regen for this. The messages are continuing to roll in, so I'll keep you guys updated on the results and make sure that you come back for day five.
