Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
So I think I don't know. It could make, do you think it can just make the, like a total twist at the end? Like maybe it wasn't her fault. Do you think like, I mean, I know they have receipt after receipt after receipt, everybody turned against them, right?
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
You know, and I hear that she's really difficult and I hear that she, you know, everything she did has receipts and you know, she was insecure about her baby weight from everything that went on. But do you think there's a slight chance that Diddy will get off? You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? There's a slight chance that she's got that little ace in the hole.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
You know what I mean? Something he did that will implicate the fuck out of him. Do you think that? Because it's like, wouldn't that be a twist and a turn?
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Oh, I didn't hear that one, though. But I know they're on the outs right now, for sure.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
I'm having a moment. Tell me about that. It's kind of longer than a moment. It's been like a year and a half now. It's like constant podcast and lap dances and all the things.

We will. We are. We're all going to Kansas. That's it. Yes. I love it. For lunch. Yes. I need a sandwich. It's delicious.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
No. I mean, they, you know, all these cuisines they're trying and it's like, it's pretty good though. It's not bad, but New York just has more like authentically good food. Yes. Like you could literally have a dirty water hot dog on the corner and it's so tasty, you know? So tasty. So I don't think it compares to New York, no. I love a hot dog. Especially the Italian food.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
What do you put on your hot dog, Queen? Well, when I go to Pink's, because they named a hot dog after me, Queen of Melrose, one day. It was like National Hot Dog Day. And basically, I went there and they said, we're going to do a Queen of Melrose hot dog. I was honored. It was crazy. So basically, I like a kielbasa. Oh. Who doesn't? Hey. Hey now. Delicious. Yeah.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
I like the kielbasa one. It's spicy. It's so delicious. And it's literally like this big. Like you can have it the next day too for lunch, you know? Like Brian Kelly big. But smaller kielbasa's are good too, right? We gotta meet this. I don't discriminate. As long as it works, we're fine.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose

Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
But I like the New York dog. They're the only one in LA that has the New York dog. So it's basically the hot dog with the sauerkraut and the mustard and the red onions. Love that. Yes.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
No, I wish I could take that valor, but no, that's not the case, darling. But they are new and they're sky blue. Yeah. Yes. And they're supposed to be the lightest of the American spirits. So I'm a Marlboro. As you can see, I sound like an obscene phone call. But I'm a Marlboro smoker all my life. Reds? It was reds and then I went to Marlboro lights. Of course.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Which I think is stronger than the reds. It's weird because when you smoke those.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
I hate myself. Oh, what? So yeah, the Newports, it was like, I would go like to Queensbridge and hang out with those guys and they were smoking the Newports, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, but it was Marlboro Reds for us, yeah. So when did you quit though?

So I grew up in Spanish Harlem, you know, and it was Spanish and Italian. So it's like where they made the Godfather. Okay. So they used my grandmother's apartment to make the Godfather. Okay. They rented, they gave us $75.
Good Guys

Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
When I first wake up, I have a cup of coffee and a cigarette. I still have that.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
I think I learned on the stoop in New York. Now I have a beautiful house in Burbank and I have Huskies and all the things. I live in the Rancho District. So when you wake up, there's people riding horses, literally. So I feel like I'm not even in LA. And I had to move from Melrose. I had a condo around the corner. And I moved because somebody tried to break in my house, in my condo.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
So I said, it's time to get out of Hollywood. And my friend's like, try Burbank. And I'm like, I will never move to Burbank ever.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
But when I tell you, it's beautiful. Like I live in the horse district. You don't even feel like you're in LA and I'm out there smoking a cigarette like this. And she's smoking with her robe on. Yes. And there's all these cowboys and Burbank people. And then there's the queen in the middle like this. Hello, Wyatt Earp. Yeah. No, you know what?
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
So I switched to American Spirit not too long ago because I heard that they actually, because Marlboro has arsenic and all those things. And you hear the tales for years, but you're still smoking. Literally, my mother, God forgive her, she had COPD. So basically, and my father. And I seen her with the oxygen tank, and it was me and my sister going, oh my God.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Like, if you don't quit after that, it was frightening. Like, she was, like, breathing, like, through a straw, you know, a cocktail straw.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Exactly. Or you'll never get laid again. Never, never. I think that's what it is. I love it. You're alone. No, they do come in from Europe and stuff, and there's all these cigarettes, and there's like death and blood, and yeah, it's a thing. But I switched to American Spirit.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
So at my gas station, right before I come to work, I fill up my car, and the guy there is like a scientist, literally knows a little bit about everything, but he works in a gas station, whatever, okay. So anyhow, he's telling me about the American Spirits. Hmm. I hope we don't get in trouble with the cigarette people that come to my house in Burbank.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Yeah. He said those little rings around the cigarette, if you look at the cigarette, those are still poisonous. He goes, that's why, he goes, if you want, roll your own cigarettes. They don't have these poisonous rings on them. Yeah, so it's still horrible.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
You gotta have a cigarette. My store smells like Ash Wednesday.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
I remember the check and it was like two weeks and like they were filming in her apartment. Also, my older brother, you know, did you see the scene in The Godfather with Sonny where he's beating the shit out of his sister's husband? Classic, yes. Yes, classic scene. Okay.

Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
Five of them. Wow. So the last one we made had laser beams coming out. He wanted something really menacing when he fought Fury. So that was in the MGM. We did a dress rehearsal. He's supposed to come out real menacing. So I delivered him the costume. He tried it on. Because remember, he blamed me for losing the fight.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
So that was on the front page of every magazine. But what I loved on the cover of New York Times, it said the outfit won.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
And Deontay lost, and it was voted the best ring walk outfit in boxing history.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
I was like, wow. So anyway, but anyway, this is what got out. This was the rumor that got out. So, so I'm like, Deontay threw me under the bus. Like we're so cool, you know? But anyway, the night of the fight, I went to go deliver the outfit the day before. He tried it on. He loved the outfit. So the next day I'm in the locker room and I felt tension. And I'm like, Deontay wasn't Deontay.

It was Black History Month too. So it was all this hype. So he's walking out with the ring wall. He goes, where's Cosmo? Cosmo! So anyway, it was just a group of us, his wife.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
We were having the best time making clothes. You know, we became best friends. So as soon as we go outside and the MGM, first of all, they were supposed to close the lights. So you were supposed to see the laser beams. That didn't happen. So everything was just like kind of weird energy that day from Deontay not being himself, for doing the walk, all that stuff.
Good Guys
Mob Adjacent with The Queen of Melrose
I was good with the outfit, the price of the outfit, baby. She was good.
Good Guys

So anyway, so we go out and Gianni loses the fight in front of me. I was mortified. You know, the next day it's the headlines. The outfit was too heavy. So I'm like, Deontay threw me under the bus.

But anyway, so he apologized. It was just all like propaganda. It was all propaganda. So he meets Shaq in a nightclub in Hollywood. And Shaq goes, who made that fucking outfit for you?
