Summary
***In celebration of the re-release of the Lychee Martini gummies from Rose Delights, we're putting out a never-before-heard episode, recorded at Jar a year ago.***
What is the origin of the flask? Candied garlic on the fries. Imagine receiving sambuca with two beans. The dog doesn’t live for you. Channeling the confidence of the red onion. Gotta hydrate, in theory. Building—any hauntings? Every 10 days is not a unit. Chins across the table, ass back in the seat. Dry scoops in the mouth. The true tickle, talked off the wedge.
