It's usually just dark. So that's how my life was.
It was very dark. But then I cut to the solution.
Like a queen like me, it's possible to get sober. You know, I was in the bushes.
I was downtown LA. I was smoking crack in the Cecil Hotel.
You know what I mean? I was doing all those things. And basically, I i came back from uh you know i came back from this drug addiction like basically i uh got sober you know and if i could do it you could do it you know what i mean and it wasn't it wasn't easy the tri-light from therisage is no joke medical grade red and near light with three frequencies per light.

It's sleek, portable, and honestly, I don't go anywhere without it. You know, I was relapse, relapse, relapse, relapse, relapse.
I got sober at 50. Wow.
You know, but I've been an A for 20 years. So I got sober at 50.
Doing the math on that. My first meeting was like 20 years ago.
Okay. And like I got, we get two years and I would get three years sober, but then I would go out and just get worse and worse and worse.

Never better.

You know, I don't know if you ever read the book of Alcoholics Anonymous. I haven't.
So there's no cure for what we have. There's a solution, you know, but there's no cure.
Like a doctor didn't come up with a pill and say, take this pill. You'll never drink and smoke crack again.
But nothing exists. But the only thing that really works is a psychologist got together with a doctor and found out one hurt one one addict talking to another addict you can get sobriety that way that's the solution one person helping another person so and it grew into this big thing there's meetings all over aa 24 hours day.
There's meetings from five in the morning till 12 o'clock midnight. And she got sober.
So when I went on there with the solution, you know, with glasses on looking fabulous, you know, and doing the whole thing, looking like Farrah Fawcett, I was wearing some kind of Afghan, darling. And I got people coming to my store going I you know I'm sober now queen thank you so much you know I got three days I got four days on my instagram oh my god queen thank you so like of a queen like you could do it you know and it's also facing ageism too you know because I'm 61 years old I'm still living my life you know what mean? I'm doing what I want to do and I'm doing it queen and sober.

We came up with instead of clean and sober.

Now it's queen and sober.

So that's kind of the gist of what happened.

And then before you know it,

I went to the,

It wasn't the gloom and doom,

That's crazy. It was normal.
Well, the fact your dad made it that long in that lifestyle is impressive. Yeah.
Most of those guys don't make it the full way. No, what would happen was after the FBI was chasing him because there was the Lufthansa heist.
You see Goodfellas? Yeah. When they robbed the plane, they got all the money.
They tried to implicate my father in that. So he was going to court and he thought he was going to go away for a very long time.
And then the judge let my father go, found out that he wasn't implicated on it. Then he came out here.

My uncle worked in the Palm. The Palm restaurant was Johnny Carson.
It was Larry Flint. It was Tony Danza.

Like literally as a kid, I used to sleep with the light on that shit scared me.
I don't know why I liked it. It was so scary.
Yeah. Cause it was so good.
And you know what? It's like when it deals with the unknown and the supernatural and demons, like I believe that shit's true. Oh yeah.
And I learned like growing on all these fucking Bible studies that not only there's a god but there is a devil and it was god's angel and he went against god yeah so basically when that little girl it's like when she was possessed reagan and it wasn't it wasn't a demon it was the devil himself that possessed her and he really fucked her up right yeah and she was shoving crosses up her kind and everything i was eight years old when that movie came out so my father mother said don't take cosmo to my aunt to that movie don't it's gonna fuck him up you know because they knew i was like really you know and i was like empath like i would absorb everything like a sponge as a kid. So anyway, saw The Exorcist, didn't sleep for a year.
Okay. I think my mother beat my aunt up for taking me.
But the best movie ever. Like you could have Freddy Krueger, you could have anything.
But that movie is the most horrifying movie I've ever seen. I agree.
It's one of the scariest I've ever seen ever seen too and there was no cgi there was all it was all real like they made that all by hands like it was all yeah there was a no like ai you know what i mean yeah like they really just did you got to see there's a there's a documentary on the making of that movie okay and how fire started and it was like all this should happen all this demonic shit happened when they were making no way oh yeah oh yeah i believe all that stuff yeah yeah there's a haunted museum in vegas that i go to zach bagan's haunted museum oh really yeah there's a yeah it's scary i gotta check it out you're in should i ever go to the cecil hotel no is that haunted oh my god we have to hang out i promise i'll be good well maybe a little creepy is that good so there's a seesaw hotel downtown yeah do you remember when the girl came from canada to go visit canada when was this this is like 10 years ago no i don't remember that so basically they made one side of the building like all homeless guys that lived there since the war.

But then they tried to make the new one gentrified

and like really cool.

But there was only one elevator.

So all the tourists that come to stay there

will go in the elevator like with these homeless people.

I mean, they lived there for years, right?

So basically, long story short,

this girl came from Canada

and she's in the Cesar Hotel, Asian girl. She came here to visit LA and all of a sudden she's missing.
So a month goes by, month and a half goes by. So people are in the CISO Hotel and they're complaining about the water, that it tastes like shit.
It tastes like feces. So they did a little investigation.
So they had the water tank on top of the CISO. It's very haunted.
When you pass by now, I'm going to tell you the story. They have it on Netflix too, CISO Hotel.
So there's the water vat of the building on the roof and it has 700 rooms, that building the janitor went up to the water that and said why does the water smell the pigeon shitting in the water they found her body in the water that whoa then you'll see her if you watch netflix we're gonna have a movie night you and eugenia i got a theater at the crib yeah oh whoa i would love that i love movie nice little love sack and creepy love shack and the love shack okay we could just like cuddle a little bit i'll behave a little bit so anyway they found him in the water that then they play back the tapes of how is she missing so literally she's running from there's nobody chasing her

but she's running from a spirit and you see her in the elevator and she's like scared like running from the but there's nobody there it's just a fucking evil spirit whoa so this hotel we found out that Richard Ramirez

the serial killer

lived there. Damn.

The guy

all these murderers lived there all these years and it was very suicidal people jumping out the windows years ago so now it's haunted now this girl so they finally closed it down after they found her but my friend was staying in that hotel and she was drinking the water oh yes and i would go in there and party oh because it's downtown la right so that's where i got my drugs so i would party there but horrific the seesaw hotel and now it's closed but you could actually there's a guy that crossed the street that's doing a podcast that lives across the street.

And you can see shadows at night.

What?

Yeah, it's still very haunted.

Holy crap.

I'm surprised you don't know about this.

But, you know, mother's here and school is open, baby.

But, yeah, horrific, horrific, horrific.

Yeah, it's nuts.

So watch that documentary.

I will.

Have you ever seen a ghost before?

You know, I do believe.

Do you believe?

Yeah, 100%.

Thank you. horrific yeah that's not so watch that documentary i will have you ever seen a ghost before you know i do i do believe you believe yeah yeah 100 i do i remember i grew up in harlem and i grew up in a brownstone that's built in like the 1600s in new york city and my grandmother lived there i never forget she paid like 39 rent when i was a kid wow and it was three floors brownstone it was beautiful it was all marble those buildings are gorgeous in new york now they sold for millions of millions but i remember there was a ghost they my grandfather would say there's a ghost he was an alcoholic but he lived on the third the third level was his bedroom yeah and i remember waking up in the middle of the night and literally seeing this ghost.
She was a lady. I didn't get creepy feelings from her.
But I remember, if it was a dream or whatever, but I remember her pulling my aunt's hair when she was sleeping, really pulling her hair, angry. And uh yeah i believe it was haunted i totally believe in uh ghost i do too yeah i think they can enter your dreams too yeah and the supernatural yep like all this demonic shit so sure you've seen some demons in la well you know at los angeles right yeah lost angels wow i never thought of it that way and downtown la you know i would hang out with these people and they would be like look there's a shapeshifter over there this guy's got six fingers you know and you're all high and shit you're like you don't know what's live or what's okay you don't know what's really happening but yes it's very icy.
I see it now in the streets when people are like contorted and they're doing drugs.

It's not only your drugs.

I think,

I think that drug addiction is a genome,

a demonic assignment.

They say you're more vulnerable when you're in that state of mind,

you know,

to position.

Yeah.

Yeah.

As a matter of fact,

I have a sponsor,

you know,

um, her name is Ansley, you know, and's like christian and she got me sober yeah she's so empathic and she's also a life coach and she does exorcisms damn so anyway i have a friend that um he wouldn't get sober he couldn't get sober like me but he was on crystal crystal meth. And crystal is hard to kick.
It's worse than crack. Okay.
Because crack is like kind of natural. So three days, it's out of your system.
Crystal is all chemicals. It's all man-made.
So that stays in your system for a very long time. That makes sense.
So the detox is longer. And I'm trying to get my friend sober, and he's talented, and he's older like me.
And I'm's time you're gonna get a heart attack you know i mean like please get sober so i took him to my spice and you got to meet my sponsor so she put him in the chair and she's literally praying over him and she's she talks in tongues too really like effective too she got me sober so you know i i knew the fucking exorcism so anyway she's getting he's in the chair i gotta see things to believe them though i really gotta see for me to believe you know what i mean so she's literally talking in tongues and praying over him but i see her talking to the spirit she's going she's literally like fist fighting the spirit, like with her eyes closed. And I'm like, Oh my God.
Like, this is really happening in my fucking living room. You know, I believe that she's powerful, you know, and anointed.
And then all of a sudden I see him. This is me sober, stone cold sober,

maybe on a cup of coffee and a cigarette.

And I'm looking at him and he turns,

literally turns black.

I literally see the demon like leave his body.

I should have filmed it.

I was like, I should have fucking filmed it.

And she's fucking fist fighting the demon.

Get away, sugar.

She'll be like talking in tongues or whatever and the demon left wow and i might cry again but i'm not going to but he got sober that day holy crap he got sober and i think he's still sober now he's like drinking but off the crystal meth and uh he's a hairdresser he's in miami he's thriving and i believe that day she did that exorcism and it worked wow you know because sometimes i'm like it's all bullshit you know in my mind you know yeah but it's some real shit it makes me wonder because my dad had some issues you know oh he was an alcoholic and a drug addict i would walk in his room some days he'd be yelling at the wall what makes me wonder if he had a demon in him yeah it's it's a gene i think it's a demonic assignment wow i really do i think you open a porthole when you're that vulnerable because alcoholism is a disease right there's no cure for it you know you go to meetings it's like getting chemotherapy but it does run in the family, you know, but it skipped my, it skipped my sister, my little sister. Thank God.
But she has the ism because as all we would, we were all drinking and we all did something. She didn't do any of that.
So she had to experience the, all of it sober. So that's why she has no nails.
Oh, shit. You know what I mean? Because imagine being in a family with all alcoholics.
Like, how did you feel like with your dad? It was tough. Yeah.
It was tough. Did he get sober? Kind of.
He like transitioned into mushrooms later on and nicotine. If that's sober for some people.
Okay. Yeah.
Well, it's progress. Right.
It's not perfection. I just say it's better than horse tranquilizers and xanax and stuff and talking to the wall yeah screaming at the wall and i'm walking in that as a kid yeah it was wild and um do you think you have the the addict gene i have an addictive personality but i could channel it yeah yeah so it's right now it's manageable right now yeah i'm channeling it in the in the right direction with the podcast and stuff.
Yeah, good for you. Yeah, but I've had like a weed phase.
I've had an alcohol phase. But when I was younger.
Yeah. Like when you party, you have to like say there was some cocaine going around.
I didn't do cocaine. Oh, you didn't? No.
Good for you. You saved yourself years of terror.
I was more a psychedelic liker. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because I'm an Aquarius, so I like thinking. Oh, happy birthday.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. So pretty hardcore.
We get a bad rap. Do you? Like we'll take your husband or your wife.
Really? But we'll bring her back. Okay.
Because we're loyal. We are loyal.
Like I have friends, the friends I have now I have for a very long time. Nice.
Like, you know, I may like be, cut you with my mouth. I'm like Archie Bunker, no filter.
But then the next day i'm like i'm sorry you know what i

mean like i like i like to make amends especially now that you're sober you have to make amends

it's like i don't want any enemies required no enemies yeah i don't like living like that you

know right right right you're like watching your back yeah exactly yeah who wants to live like yeah

looking over your shoulders yeah so what about your mom like you know i don't want to get nosy but did your mom like make everything okay?

the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, but did your mom like make everything okay? Did she save the day or? Well, they got divorced when I was 10. Okay.
It was a single parent household. So that was interesting.
Okay. And she tried her best, but raising a kid by yourself as a mother, I think that's tough.
You never get that father figure. Yeah.
It's really hard to replace that, you know? Yeah yeah so what did you do though like you know i've spent a lot of time by myself man to be honest i was pretty lonely i was an only child and uh got addicted to video games yeah it was a lonely childhood to be honest yeah i struggled but look at you now though now i'm podcasting god baby. You know, it really does.
I think so. I'm so glad because I know this life of, I've seen it.
It's in my household. You know what I mean? And it affected my older brother who never had a drink in his life.
And my younger sister, we really fucked them up. Yeah.
You know what I mean? Cause they saw what was going on and at least we could have smoked a joint. I could have had a drink.
You know what I mean? But they had to go through it sober and see the fights and me coming home late and robbing my mother's purse and go, where's the money? I need more. And it's like they went through all that.
So I tell them go to Al-Anon because it's for people who grew up with drug addicts and alcoholics and your life. And then it teaches you how to deal with it when you get older, you know, or children of.
There's a program for everything these days. Yeah.
So, but they don't want to go. They're sad in their ways, you know.
You said Al-Anon? It's called Al-Anon. Al-Anon.
I've been heard of been heard so if you grew up with like an alcoholic parent yeah or there's also child's children survivors of alcoholics there's all this out there you know just in case shit might get shitty for you yeah you know what i mean that's good to know there's a in la there's so many meanings for everything yeah like sex you know oh there's a sex one? Sex and Love Anonymous. Did you go to that one? I went to that one.
I was joking when I asked that. Yeah.
No, I had to go. That was a big one, you know, because sex is before drugs.
Sex is before drugs. You know, like you start masturbating.
Oh, okay. Fantasy and all that.
So that kind of like. So you were addicted to that? Oh, yeah.
Everything'm addicted to now it's food see i got sober but it bounces around yeah so it was sex it was drugs it was alcohol it was pot and then it was food because i grew up with food being so loving like let's eat at five o'clock so what everybody's killing themselves let's have a nice meal so it was when you're italian any nationality you know it was like love through food yeah you know we just cook and my mother cook and eat this and boss i have a meatball shut the fuck up you know what i mean so but then later on it becomes a problem because now it's like since pandemic i haven I haven't been able to lose the weight because I go to food, you know? So now I'm on a food program. Ozempic? No, I tried Ozempic.
Oh, you did? You didn't like it? I did. I had to get rushed to the hospital.
Holy. You know all those horrors you hear about Ozempic? Yeah, that happened to you? That happened to me.
Oh my gosh. So I had to get rushed to the hospital.

I'm fucking Ozempic.

I thought the bitch was going to be skinty.

And my doctor's like, get him off of that.

So I asked him why that happened to me.

He goes, well, some people have really bad side effects.

And I talked to people that have side effects.

And they're like, yeah, we get to side effects.

But mine's were really bad.

So I have to do it naturally.

So I got me a nutritionist.

Mm-hmm. And I talk to people that have side effects and they're like, yeah, we get the side effects, but mine's were really bad.
So I have to like do it naturally. So I got me a nutritionist and he's like, the only way you're going to lose it.
Healthy Cosmo is like, you're going to start eating like real food and like, um, you know, don't get, don't, don't buy olive oil and plastic. Like you have to buy real olive oil, you know? And he's teaching me how to eat healthy.
But the good thing is that you can eat five times a day, but you can have all the steak you want, but you have to eat healthy. So, you know, constantly learning.
Yeah. I love me some good food.
Yeah. Food is really important to me.
Yeah. What's your favorite food? Italian's up there.
I'll say that, but it's a little too heavy to eat daily because all the carbs, you get fat if you eat too much Italian. So you're watching.
Yeah. You seem like you have good genetics.
Blessed genetics. You could probably eat a hamburger.
Yeah. So my resting metabolic rate, which is how many calories.
That's what I'm learning right now. Do you know what yours is? No, I'm going to go right now.
The nutritionist guy just recently happens. Yeah.
I met this guy in the program and he goes, I'm going to help you. So you got to test your metabolic weight and get weighed.
And I haven't weighed myself for a while because I'm trying to avoid the issue. You know, but then it's like, can't avoid it anymore.
So anyway, so you know about that stuff. So yeah, basically if I sat down all day and did nothing, I would burn 3000 calories a day.
That's your resting metabolic rate. Okay.
Which is really high. Right.
So basically I have to eat like, cause I'm active. I have to eat like 4,000, 5,000 calories a day.
So I don't lose weight. So I have the opposite issue as you.
Right. Right.
I struggle to gain weight. So you have to eat.
So you eat, what do you eat? Like a lot of of protein no barely any carbs carbs is how you gain weight right right you know right right right okay because you get bloated right exactly yeah so i'll eat a little carbs but nothing crazy okay okay so i'm learning about all that now yeah and then he's telling me like the food and drug administration like he wanted you to stay they wanted you to stay away from certain foods for so many years but we find out like steak is good for you you could have steak you could actually have real butter real butter yeah what yeah they taught us growing up butter was bad for you right yeah i remember that right that's the food and drug administration right because they want everybody in the hospital yeah right so anyway? So anyway, I'm learning that it is good.

And that's great.

Yeah, I'm glad you're doing that.

I would never listen to the FDA on food advice.

Yeah.

What's your favorite food, though?

I like a little bit of everything.

You know, I love Puerto Rican food, you know, from New York.

Yeah.

Basically, there's a good restaurant in North Hollywood.

It's called Mofongo. And, like, there's not a lot of puerto ricans out here really it's not a big food i love mexican food yeah but puerto rican food is good did you ever try it i've never had it what is you'll love it is it a ripos or is that mexican it's not spicy but they have plantanos um rice um do you eat pork so if it's high quality yeah yeah i heard pork is really bad i heard it's terrible yeah because they don't have sweat glands i only eat the acorn fed one oh okay yeah where do you find that uh rarely it's on certain menus but yeah it's hard to find could you like buy it in the supermarket probably not the supermarket but maybe online okay yeah because i love pork i think it's called iberico pork oh really does it taste the same as pork Oh, really maybe online.
Okay. Yeah.
Because I love pork. I think it's called Iberico pork.
Oh, really? Does it taste the same as pork pork? It tastes better. Way better.
Oh, really? Okay. You're turning to me.
You're hooking me. I got you.
You're hooking the queen up. I got you.
Because she likes her pork sausage. I love sausage.
Yeah. Italian sausage.
Yeah. Yeah.
That shit's good. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. I could send you over a plate.
Oh, yeah. Because literally, like, you can walk out of this building.
I'm, five minutes away at melrose so come over i'll bring some food sure to a little intermission yeah but i love food but now i'm learning to eat healthy so it's never too late right never too late but you're a sweetheart are you seeing anybody are you about to get married congratulations we're eight years in getting married this year wow and where did you guys meet we met in jersey grew up in jersey jersey yeah see i always tell eugenia i'm like if you want to find a man in la kind of they want to hit it and quit it but if you go back to New York, you go to Jersey, places like that, they kind of believe in marriage. They have more old-fashioned values.
Am I right or wrong? I think so, yeah. The East Coast is about families.
Yeah. So that's funny you said that.
LA just got voted the worst dating city in America. Because you know what? It really is.
It's like now you see them, now you don't. You know? Yeah.
And then with all those

hot trannies on the internet,

you don't have a chance.

Sorry.

I'm sure you've been offered

to start an OnlyFans.

Well,

I have my persona.

Her name is Ginger.

So,

I would go to the tranny club.

Yeah.

You ever go to a tranny club in LA?

No,

but my friend manages a bunch of trannies.

Okay.

They crush it on OnlyFans.

Yeah.

They kill it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So I don't know,

because what do you,

what do you think the queen of Melrose on OnlyFans?

You would do six figures a month.

Easy.

But would I have to be sexual or could I just do like stockings and do fetish?

You wouldn't make as much if you did that,

but you could probably still make a decent amount doing that. Really? Yeah.
Okay. I don't know.
You know what I mean? Because it's like, I'm always like private when it comes to my sex. Oh, really? But I can give a hell of a lap dance.
Okay. You could just do lap dance, OnlyFans stuff maybe.
Yeah. I wonder if that was- Like I'm good in fishnets.
I have great legs. You know, maybe do something with food.
Yeah. You know? I don't think I should just like air my vagina out yet.
Yes. But thank you for the- All right.
I got you, man. Girl, thanks for the six figures, honey.
Yeah. Once you go down that route, it's tough to- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's nice to know the queen can make six figures you know what i mean yeah well a lot of my clients are on only fans i bet one has five kids damn um she's hot as fuck she works out like a fucking fiend and she's on there with her husband okay you know but now she's doing girl on girl yeah so i was like show me and when i see it i'm like whoa dude like it's like straight up triple x oh yeah you know which i'm not opposed to well you know when you see somebody in a different light and then you see i'm like this bitch is her pussy's wide open you know what i mean and then another fan came to me the other day he goes you know i'm on only fans and i'm talking to him he's a client whatever he's a fan he goes queen of my rose i love you he goes just look at my only fans shoving things up his asshole. I was like, whoa, dude.

Like, oh shit.

You know?

So maybe I would do, but like a happy medium.

Yeah.

You could figure out your middle ground.

Right.

Because I'm not a Jehovah's Witness anymore.

Right?

That's a big change.

Would you do it?

No.

No.

No.

No.

I know Adam 22 did it with his wife.

Did you see that?

No. He let his wife get banged by someone else.
Oh, really? Yeah. Who's Adam 22? He's a podcaster in LA.
Okay. Yeah.
I mean, to each his own. You know, if it works for you and you guys are making the money you say they're making, the lady that came to my store, I don't believe she's making the money she says she's making.
You know what I mean? But you can make lot of money you can't make a lot yeah but whenever someone throws out numbers you know it's slightly exaggerated yeah but i have seen six figures a month for yeah for people yeah i believe it yeah it's not then there's a lot of celebrities on there too right yeah i think cardi b showing their dicks tyga tyga showing his dick um got a patient nah he's probably packing I'll probably rub one out right here he's like Hazel what are you doing let's make money off of it come on go viral uh which is um yeah so I would do something literally happy medium yeah I would girls like something sexy we'll talk we'll do coffee we're gonna do coffee come by the store with your girlfriend we're gonna talk sounds good and you will love the store by the way yeah i'm gonna check it out do you got two stores in la you got a store i had three stores i had shoe whore it was a shoe store that i opened up and the instagram said we fuck for shoes and it's called shoe whore and it just never but i didn't have the time for it because two three stores is a lot you know what i mean two stores are like monsters you know what i mean one is glam squad the original store it's very very busy it's the rock and roll store it's very fucking cool leather jackets and stuff like that that you would love yeah and then the other store is more like Burning Man, opulent more expensive you know so handling those two stores is a lot and trying to keep them open after covid you know but um area 15 they're my clients so they own like half of new york yeah i was just there last week yeah so you want to area 15 yeah yeah yeah yeah so the owners are great and they go to burning man every year so i dress them every year but i didn't know who they were i don't know if they were area 15 i don't know if they worked at mcd i don't know but i just give it my all so i would dress them all and basically i find out years later that they're they own area 15 they call me up and want the Queen of Murrows involved. So what I did was I make a whole clothing line for Burning Man, right? So I designed some stuff.
It's that beautiful, beautiful stuff. So they bought the whole entire line.
Wine was no object. And so now they're selling my stuff in area 15, you know? So it was just another opportunity.
The owners are great. They still go to Burning Man every year.
You know, they're, um, uh, they're loyal, you know? And they just stick with Burning Man and stuff like that. So it's people like that.
And, uh, yeah. So you got it.
got it next time you go to area 15 pick up a garment and it should say cosmo wow yeah well yeah the store right when you walk in right in the middle yeah yeah yeah i've seen that one yeah that's awesome yeah all world but it's cool in there did you go in the room it's like all the psychedelic room i went in everything that's thoughts out a trip i go there at least once a year yeah it's a fun time so if. So if you like that, I think you're going to love Burning Man.
I want to go to Burning Man. Yeah.
I've never been to a Burning Man. I actually want to go there and do interviews because I feel like it'd be viral.
Oh, yeah. Talking to people there.
Oh, yeah. I don't know if they don't have service there though, right? I don't think so.
It's all like no corporate, no wire, no money exchange at all. It's all like they're giving each other,

like you trade like weed.

Oh, it's bartering.

It's bartering. Oh, that's cool.

That's how it used to be back in the day.

Yes.

That's where it all came from.

Yeah.

So that's why at the end they burned that man.

Yeah.

That big, that big wooden man they build,

they burn it.

It's like burning the corporate veil.

And just live and let live like we lived years ago,

you know, and it's, you know,

Thank you. They burn it.
It's like burning the corporate veil. And just live like we lived years ago.
And it's sex, drugs, and granola. Yeah.
You know? Sex, drug, and granola. But a few years ago, the guy ran into the fire.
Did you hear about that? Yeah. What was that? So I think he had a little too much sex, drugs, and granola.
Damn. And he wound up running into the fire when they burnt the man he was like wow and he ran right into the fucking fire so anyway that's what happened but um it's still going on but it's kind of getting less and less now like you know what i mean like it's not what it used to be you know how some stuff just fizzles fizzles out yeah so i would get like customers and be like

wow like that month of burning man i would just make so much money it would keep me open for the

whole year but now it's kind of going since covid it's not the same well that's all music festivals

they're all hurting right now yeah yeah yeah yeah since covid like nothing's the same right tough
