Pashmina Lore, Pool Party Prices, Tech Fails, & Fried Brains – 04
Nothing worked. Our brains are cooked. But the show must go on. In this episode, after surviving every possible tech disaster, we somehow manage to dive into the ancient history of the rave pashmina, the wild world of artist aliases, and what snacks to order at a Vegas pool party to hit the minimum without $700 bottles. Unhinged. Sober. Fried. Welcome to the most chaotic recording yet.
💬 Let us know: are you a pashmina warrior, or are you still “borrowing” one every festival?
