Closet Disco Queen Pot-Cast

Drop us a line or two . . .## LONG SUMMARYThis episode opens mid-life, mid-mess — which is pretty on-brand for CDQ. Queenie kicks things off with a life update that's equal parts exhausting and quietly heroic: her mom, Mumsy, has been transferred to Sunnyview Hospital for acute rehabilitation following a pelvic fracture complicated by pneumonia. And it has been, to put it mildly, a week.The opioid reaction alone is a whole story. Mumsy — described as a tiny little bird of a woman at 105 pounds — went full superhuman after being administered medication that did not agree with her, requiring five adults (including two men, Queenie is quick to note) to safely get her back into bed. She was subsequently assigned one-on-one monitoring with what Queenie cheerfully describes as "a robot looking thing" watching her around the clock. Thursday was, in Queenie's words, a completely lost day. But by the time they're recording, Mumsy is up with a walker, fully participating in therapy, and apparently chatty as ever — which, given the steroid-fueled word avalanche Queenie witnessed upon transfer, seems to be something of a baseline.The path forward is genuinely uncertain: subacute care may follow, options are limited while oxygen stays in the picture, and Queenie is doing what she can, which right now means taking it a day at a time and trying to get to her grandchildren when she can squeeze it in.From the heavy to the delightful: TT received a birthday gift while the two were celebrating on the Cape, and it's a game called Ganja Land — a cannabis-themed Candyland knockoff from the brand Lightly Toasted. TT, who has not yet played it, gives an enthusiastic rundown: eight character pieces (including Mary Jane Mermaid, The Royal Highness, and Weedly Wizard, all dressed appropriately for the occasion), a board full of hidden objects for timed scavenger hunts, trivia cards, fun facts, and a Spotify playlist to set the mood. The goal is to reach the Cannabis Castle and claim the cannabis crown — a bedazzled, marijuana-leaf-encrusted upgrade on the Burger King paper crown. Gameplay involves passing a joint to the left per Ganja Land tradition, and turn order follows the same direction. TT and Queenie immediately begin plotting to play virtually or in person come October.Then Queenie brings an article she'd flagged from Time magazine: what to do when someone gives you the silent treatment. The timing is personal. She'd reached out to a friend she'd lost touch with — wrote a note, explained a difficult five-year stretch, opened the door. Got nothing back. Not even, as she puts it, a fuck you. The article's framework is practical: distinguish between a healthy pause and a deliberate withdrawal, send one calm non-accusatory message, do not chase, do not retaliate with more silence, don't apologize just to get a reaction. When contact resumes: lead with curiosity, describe impact without assuming intent, and if the silence is a pattern rather than a moment, maybe look hard at whether the relationship is worth the real estate it's taking up in your head.Queenie's takeaway is quieter than the article's framework. Reading it gave her permission to let it go — to acknowledge she'd done her part, fulfilled what she calls "the social contract," and move on. TT points out, warmly but pointedly, that reaching out at all was the brave move. It was. And the non-response is its own answer.Which connects to the Fucket List addition: you do not have to respond to everything. Queenie originally pulled this out as a parenting tool — when kids are being fresh or challenging or saying things that don't actually require your engagement, you give yourself permission to just not. She's had to resurrect it lately, for adults. For family situations. For the nurses at the hospital asking her how Mumsy likes her nasal cannula. (Her answer: "What would you do if I wasn't here? Do that.") The relief of not needing to be the one with every answer — not needing to fix, explain, defend, or respond to everything lobbed at you — is, it turns out, just as applicable at 60-something as it was when her kids were teenagers.The episode closes on a more tender note. While the women were on the Cape, two significant losses happened: Dolly Parton and Gloria Steinem. Both are acknowledged with the kind of genuine warmth you can't fake. For Steinem, Queenie has a specific recommendation: Netflix's Final Words — a pre-recorded interview filmed in the last couple of years, designed to air only after her death. Remote cameras, no crew, just Steinem knowing this would be her last on-camera words. Queenie watched it the night Steinem died. She calls it powerful. Forty minutes, not overlong, completely worth it.The conversation turns briefly political — because it has to. Women couldn't get credit in their own names until 1977. Physicians could discuss a woman's health directly with her husband, without involving her. Queenie and TT were already out of high school by then. It doesn't feel like ancient history to them. It feels like a warning. The episode wraps with an original song — "What Would Gloria Do?" — a full-throated tribute to Steinem that closes the show the way Steinem apparently closed most things: with glasses on, something sharp to say, and zero apologies.---## SHORT SUMMARYQueenie opens up about a harrowing week navigating her mother's transfer to a rehabilitation hospital — steroids, an opioid reaction, and five adults required to contain a 105-pound woman — while finding small things to hold onto, like TT's birthday gift of Ganja Land, a cannabis Candyland that they're already plotting to play. The episode gets real about the silent treatment, the art of not responding to everything, and the very different kinds of quiet that can settle over a relationship. It closes by honoring Dolly Parton and Gloria Steinem — two women who showed up, in completely different ways, and never once made themselves small.---## EPISODE VIBEThis one has weight to it, but it wears it lightly. It's the kind of episode that starts in the thick of a hard week — hospital transfers, oxygen dependency, a mom who needed five people to keep her safe — and somehow finds its way to a birthday gift and a cannabis board game without it feeling like whiplash. There's exhaustion here, yes, but also a kind of hard-won clarity that comes through in everything from the silent treatment conversation to the Fucket List to the tribute to Gloria Steinem. Queenie is navigating a lot — caregiving, grief-adjacent uncertainty, a friendship that quietly closed a door — and TT is steady beside her, funny when it helps, serious when it matters. The emotional throughline is permission: permission to let go, to not respond, to stop being the one with all the answers. It's a midlife episode in the truest sense — not defeated, not falsely cheerful, just honest about where they are and who they're choosing to be.

Drop us a line or two . . .This one hits differently.The episode opens with Queenie still finding her footing after what can only be described as a vacation that got yanked out from under her. She and TT had been soaking up the final glorious days of Cape Cod — doing absolutely nothing of consequence, seaside, blissfully unbothered — when Queenie got the call. Mumsy had taken a fall on her way in from her program. Smashed pelvis. Fractured sacrum. Twenty-four hours in the ER. And Queenie was five-plus hours away in Truro, Massachusetts.Enter Lauren — Queenie's daughter, a registered nurse, who had literally just come off her own shift when the call came in and immediately redirected herself to St. Peter's Hospital to be with Gigi. Which, thank God, because what unfolded in that ER was a master class in how not to treat a ninety-three-year-old woman with multiple fractures and mild cognitive disorder. Gigi spent hours on a stretcher in a hallway. No fluids. No pain management. Lauren sat in the waiting room in her scrubs for three hours before she could even get back to her mother. A physician didn't lay eyes on her until the early hours of the morning — twelve hours in. They were also apparently going to send her home, and the only thing that stopped that was the fact that Gigi was having trouble oxygenating. Which is terrifying, and also accidentally the thing that saved her.Queenie is cautiously optimistic that Gigi will be transferred to Sunnyview, an acute rehab facility, with Lauren quietly working every connection she has to make it happen. The physician reviewer initially declined the transfer — and then apparently learned he was "dealing with a VIP" and reversed course. So. Lauren's getting things done.Meanwhile, TT is recording from the Cape on her last day — computer balanced on four puzzle boxes, microphone rattling every time she shifts on the bed, doing her absolute best. She's not ready to leave. Nobody ever is. Honey spotted a great white shark in the bay with his binoculars (there had already been a sighting from a boat the day before, so he knew what he was looking at). A seal was hanging out ten feet off the beach. TT's sister Mare found two rocks shaped like sharks and everyone is coming home with a collection of found treasures. TT found a nose. An actual rock nose. They both save boxes — Apple boxes are singled out as particularly premium — and they are completely unapologetic about this.There is a brief and important moment of grief for the inflatable island, a large and unwieldy float that had served them well but had been slowly losing air all week despite a duct-tape patch job that was, by their own admission, not exactly precision work. With the combined assistance of TT's three sons and two daughters-in-law, the island was retired with dignity. They're reconfiguring for something more age-appropriate going forward. A parasol was suggested.The episode's "What Have You Consumed Today" check-in: Queenie is smoking Mendo Purps dog walkers from Hepworth — tiny little things, perfect for microdosing, very cute. TT scored her gummies, which have apparently been rebranded from "Hummies" to "Tree Works." TT took half of one five-milligram. They are both doing what they need to do to stay on an even keel.The "Wait, What?" segment this week is a roundup of things people only discovered about their partners after moving in together. One sock removed hours before bed, the other stays on — nobody knows why. Three hundred used contact lenses tossed behind the headboard instead of the trash. Popcorn eaten with bites of lettuce, apparently a whole-family tradition. Coffee cups left a quarter full in random locations throughout the home. Cabinets never quite closed, jar lids never quite tightened — this one lands especially hard given that Queenie points out they paid serious money for self-closing cabinets and drawers that are somehow being actively defeated. No consistent spot for keys or wallet, leading to morning chaos. Overfilling plates, eating half, leaving the rest by the sink. TT's real grievance surfaces: leaving two chips in a bag, two kernels in the popcorn, one sad schmear of cream cheese. Why. TT poses the actual important question here: how many people confronted these behaviors, and how many have just been quietly simmering for forty years? Queenie, speaking from experience, gives the simmering option roughly forty-odd years before it erupts — probably over something completely unrelated.TT's Choice, the segment where TT picks a number between one and seventy-five, lands on twenty-five: "What if you had to live your mother's exact life? What's the first thing you'd change?" TT goes straight to money — her family lived in poverty, and she'd change that first, with the hope it might have kept her grandfather from becoming violent toward her grandmother. Queenie's mind goes immediately to her own grandfather, who suffered what was then called a "nervous breakdown," was institutionalized for years, declared legally incompetent, and received electroshock therapy — which Queenie's mother witnessed firsthand during her nursing school psych rotation. Both women find themselves trying to undo pain for their mothers, trying to remove the source of trauma. Then they catch themselves: would changing those things mean their mothers — or they themselves — would be the same people? Probably not. It's a real question with no clean answer, and they sit in it for a moment.From there, the conversation drifts into what they would change about their own lives. Queenie says she'd want more awareness — more information, more sense of what was possible. She never considered going away to school, never even thought about working a summer on the Cape, not because she said no but because the option simply never materialized in her mind. It wasn't available to her as a concept. They talk about the generation-wide narrowing of possibility for women — a classmate who was explicitly told her parents wouldn't fund architecture school because she had brothers. Someone had to be the one to get educated. It wasn't going to be her. Queenie and TT both landed in human services almost by a kind of collegial suggestion — TT picked it, and Queenie thought: service to humans, helping people, I can do that. And she could.Queenie reflects on nursing — something she considered but rejected because she didn't trust her own instincts, feared paralysis by analysis, couldn't imagine the decisiveness it requires. She has enormous respect for nurses for exactly that reason. Which brings it back to Lauren, and to TT's sister Mary, and to what nurses actually do every single day — the compassion, the common sense, the ability to think outside the box under pressure, the advocacy. The Fucket List entry for the week is exactly that: fuck it to professionals who treat vulnerable people without dignity. Queenie's quiet fury about Gigi's twelve hours in a hallway, alone, unexamined, in pain — it comes through clearly. And her equally quiet point about what happens to people who don't have a Lauren in their corner, who don't have someone who knows what questions to ask and won't back down — that one lands hard.The episode closes with TT packing up in Truro, stopping in Albany to see her sister before the long drive home, sand in her shoes, rocks in her bags, already mourning the version of herself that got to live here for a while. The outro poem/song is beautiful — salt still drying on skin, the bay deciding your schedule, going sane by surrendering to it. "I'm leaving softer than I came and heavier than I."Same, TT. Same.

Drop us a line or two . . .Queenie and TT are recording from Cape Cod Bay — or as they're lobbying to rename it, "Queenie and TT's Water" — and the vibe is pure decompression energy. The vacation is going swimmingly, except for the part where it literally isn't: the inflatable boat has sprung a leak. Did that stop them from staying out on the water for a couple of hours? Absolutely not. They rode that increasingly "flaccid" vessel with full commitment, carefully redistributing their weight to avoid inadvertently launching each other off an intact chamber. The plan now involves duct tape and optimism, pending a trip to a marine supply shop in Provincetown. Classic.The Cape has been delivering exactly what was needed — perfect low-seventies weather, healing sun, soul-cleansing waves — because Queenie has been running on fumes. Caregiving for her mum has been in overdrive, and the universe briefly threatened to interrupt the vacation when Mum attempted to cancel her own transportation to her day program because her grandson Lucas had come for dinner and she simply decided she was staying home, thank you very much. It was sorted. Mum is ninety-three today — happy birthday — and is officially the longest-living sibling, which Queenie notes is probably not the outcome anyone predicted, least of all Queenie herself, who admits she privately thought "no way" when her mother announced she was financially planning to live to a hundred. Meanwhile, TT celebrated her own birthday this week, complete with karaoke and all three sons and their partners. A good week for birthdays.Entertainment highlight of the trip: drag comedy legend Dina Martina, who summers in Provincetown and is, apparently, genuinely impossible to describe. Multimedia. Bizarre. Absolutely hysterical. Highly recommended if she rolls through your town. They also did a lot of nothing, which they both agree is exactly the point.On the cannabis beat: Queenie flagged an emerging conversation about senior living communities and the growing number of residents who are using cannabis — for medical reasons, for recreational ones, or simply because they like it and they're adults and that's allowed. The issue? Nobody's actually addressing it proactively. No designated consumption spaces, no updated policies, no real acknowledgment that people over seventy still have preferences about their own bodies. Queenie draws the parallel to the equally-never-discussed topic of sexuality in assisted living — something she navigated firsthand as a former manager, including one memorable theater situation and a delicate family conversation about a resident named Daisy. The throughline: society has a deeply weird relationship with older adults' self-determination, whether the subject is cannabis, sex, medication compliance, or simply choosing to stay in your own home. TT's mum gets a quiet nod here — still home, still making her own calls, still showing up to her day program without pants on certain occasions (technically covered where a bathing suit would cover, so: fine).The emotional centerpiece of the episode is a Good Housekeeping article Queenie brings to the table: "Fewer People Are Going to Become Grandparents and No One Has Acknowledged Their Grief." It's a real thing, it turns out. More and more adult children of boomers are choosing to be child-free, and the parents who had quietly, completely assumed grandchildren were part of their future are sitting with a loss that doesn't have a name, a ceremony, or a support group. TT speaks to this directly and with real vulnerability — she's felt selfish for feeling it, she's felt isolated because most of her friends already have grandkids, and she hadn't even fully recognized the feeling as grief until this moment. Queenie gently but firmly separates the grief from the blame: two truths can coexist. Adult children have full authority over their reproductive choices. Parents are allowed to mourn an imagined future. Grief is not the same as disappointment, and disappointment points blame in a way that grief doesn't have to. The conversation lands somewhere genuinely useful: TT decides her Fuck It List addition is releasing the expectation of grandchildren — not dismissing the feeling, but grieving it properly and letting it go. Queenie reframes TT's sons' choices as evidence of exactly the kind of free-thinking, non-conformist parenting TT and Rich actually did. It's a good moment.TT's Choice goes in a delightful direction: one meal for the rest of your life, taste only, no nutritional overthinking allowed. Queenie spirals beautifully through apple crisp with fresh whipped cream, a French butterbread situation that is mostly just butter, Jean Boudini's Veal Piccata, and a genuinely excellent cheeseburger before landing, definitively, on Mallon's sticky buns from the Jersey Shore — caramel poured over, frosting on top, nuts sprinkled, dripping, warm, sold out by mid-morning. AAA-plus rating. TT, for the record, would eat a warm cinnamon bun with frosting. Every day.Post-outro bonus: Queenie admits she animated a photo of a fish that TT's husband and son Thomas caught on a fishing trip. The fish had, in her words, a great face. She made it look directly at the viewer and say "Help me." Thomas, who had already been quietly hoping the fish would escape, found this deeply sad and told her it was "very clever, but it just makes me sad." Queenie apologized. The fish did not survive either way.---## SHORT SUMMARYQueenie and TT are broadcasting from a slightly-deflated inflatable boat situation on Cape Cod Bay, navigating caregiving updates, a birthday for TT, and a trip to see drag comedy legend Dina Martina. They dig into cannabis use in senior living communities, the unspoken grief of boomer parents whose adult children are choosing not to have kids, and Queenie's definitive answer to the one-meal-for-life question: Mallon's sticky buns from the Jersey Shore. Also, someone animated a fish to say "Help me," and feelings were hurt.---## TOP 5 PULL QUOTES**TT:** "I have felt selfish, I have felt sadness, I have felt very alone in it — because most of my friends have grandchildren. There is a sense of loss, and I'm so glad it's being talked about."**Queenie:** "People are mourning an imagined future, and that makes it a very difficult loss to explain — and to validate."**Queenie:** "Describe it as grief rather than disappointment. Disappointment points blame. Grief identifies an emotion that can be processed."**TT:** "Hearing this spoken aloud — it's okay. That this is a real thing. And not even knowing deep down that that's what was happening."**Queenie:** "Cannabis in senior living is like sex in senior living — we're not going to talk about it, so if we don't talk about it, it doesn't exist."---## EPISODE VIBEThis one moves like a good beach afternoon — unhurried, a little sun-dazed, funnier than it has any right to be, and then suddenly kind of profound. It opens in full vacation mode: leaky boats, duct tape, Dina Martina, and a fishing photo that made someone's son feel existential grief about a fish. But underneath the easy laughter is a real current of weight — caregiving fatigue, aging parents, the strange loneliness of grieving a future that was never promised to you in the first place. TT's honesty about the grandchildren question lands with real force precisely because the episode earns it slowly. By the time she names it as something she can finally put on the Fuck It List, it feels less like resignation and more like release. Equal parts wry and tender, with a sticky bun chaser.

Drop us a line or two . . .Queenie and TT are recording this week's episode from the actual Cape Cod shoreline — specifically Days Cottages in North Truro, Massachusetts, sitting across from each other with water views and, apparently, a front-row seat to a squid situation nobody saw coming. It's a vacation episode, which means the conversation is looser, warmer, and occasionally derailed by birds doing cute things out the window. The nature content is genuinely impressive. The day before recording, Queenie's granddaughters stumbled onto what can only be described as a squid bonanza — hundreds of them washed up on the beach, apparently so abundant that the girls collected enough to sell to a local fishing vessel, the CJ out of Provincetown, and made actual money. Meanwhile, TT and crew joined a ranger-led walk on the tidal flats near the site of the Pilgrims' first landing on North American soil — a detail that lands with some weight once you realize you're standing on it. The ranger produced a live horseshoe crab for the group, which prompted a surprisingly earnest digression: horseshoe crabs have been around for roughly 450 million years (they landed on "50 million" in the moment, but the vibe was correct), their blue blood is harvested for medical use, and females of reproductive age are off-limits for harvesting out of conservation concern. The one they found was young — "only a million or two years old," Queenie noted, with complete sincerity. A live squid about 18 inches long was also spotted squiding through shallow water before the ranger nudged it back out to sea. TT's son mentioned that squid are "candy to stripers," which apparently is common fishing knowledge that neither host had previously retained. The moon snail also got its moment: TT's son found a clamshell with a perfect tiny hole drilled through it, and the ranger explained that moon snails have a specialized body part that functions like a literal drill. They bore into other shells and suck out the contents. Nature, as TT observed, is amazing. Queenie agreed, and the two briefly marveled at how everything in the natural world fits together — hand and glove — before noting that humans have spent a great deal of energy segmenting and ranking that system, mostly to put themselves at the top of it. "We are not the top of the food chain," Queenie said, with the confidence of someone who has spent the week watching horseshoe crabs and moon snails conduct their business unbothered. TT recalled an Onion headline about a dolphin developing opposable thumbs, with the tagline "fuck says humanity," and that was basically that. The first landing marker also generated some reflection. There's a concrete engraving on the far side of the monument acknowledging the Wampanoag people — who thrived in the area long before Europeans arrived and were subsequently, as Queenie put it plainly, "summarily exterminated or shoved aside." TT noted the inscription called for remembrance so history isn't repeated. Both hosts appreciated the acknowledgment, even while noting that as a culture, "we don't acknowledge shit." The conversation extended to the harshness of the conditions that greeted those early arrivals — winter winds in Truro that routinely hit 50 miles an hour, bad enough that you can't open a car door. TT's sister is looking at a condo in the area, and a year-round resident supplied that cheerful detail during due diligence. Cannabis check-in: TT is running a performance gummy — caffeinated, with yerba mate, electrolytes, guarana, THC-V (filed under "vigor"), and CBG, full spectrum, fast-acting, solventless. It's designed for power, stamina, and endurance. The first time she took it, she napped. She is optimistic this will not happen again today, as there is a sailboat — the Envy the Bay — to launch. Queenie is on Off Hours Orange Aid, an awakening energy sour gummy, nano-enhanced, 10:2 THC to THC-V ratio, made in Rochester, New York. The tin is orange. She ate a whole one instead of the recommended half. They are both theoretically vimmed and vigored and ready to get that boat in the water. Wait, What? this week delivered "calf hair harassment" — a real and apparently escalating workplace issue in Japan, where the introduction of a climate-adaptive dress code (shorts for office workers, due to soaring heat) has led some women to formally object to the sight of men's leg hair, which they've characterized as visual harassment. A survey by a men's beauty salon found 53.5% of female respondents opposed men wearing shorts at work. The 2020 Goo web portal survey (yes, that's the name) ranked men's summer habits women disliked most, with visible nipples through shirts topping the list, followed by sweat stains, strong cologne, sandals with socks, prominent bellies, tank tops, and, of course, calf hair. The result: more Japanese men are pursuing laser hair removal not for personal preference but out of workplace propriety. Queenie and TT's verdict was pretty unified: calling leg hair harassment minimizes actual harassment, it's intolerant, and also, TT comes from an Italian family, so the whole premise was somewhat unworkable from the jump. TT's former boss did once institute a "no man toes" rule at the office — open-toed sandals for men were banned — but that turned out to be aimed at one specific attorney with sandals and hairy toes, which is a slightly different situation. The segment ended with a genuine question for listeners: would you find calf hair harassing in the workplace? The hosts have clearly already decided. TT's Choice landed on #14: one perfect high a week, or a mild pleasant buzz every day. TT initially went with the daily mild buzz, reasoning it would be nice to be mellowed out consistently. Then she reconsidered. The high hard one was not adequately accounted for in her initial answer. She may have been "a little too hasty." No final ruling was issued. The Fuck It List entry this week came from TT: she is officially adding "being responsible for everyone's happiness" back onto the list, having caught herself defaulting to full caretaker mode while hosting family at the cottage — making sure everyone was fed, happy, having fun, not thirsty. She knows better. She has said this on the podcast. She did it anyway. Queenie's take was compassionate and correct: TT has layered imprints on this place — as a child here with her own parents, as a mother bringing her kids here for years — and those grooves run deep. It doesn't mean she has to stay in them. The note that resonated: when we scramble to make everyone happy, we might actually be putting quiet pressure on them to perform happiness back at us. It's a fuck it directed inward. Her grown-ass men are fine. She knows this. Fuck it.

Drop us a line or two . . .This one opens the way all the best CDQ episodes do: mid-ramble, mid-weather report, mid-Cape Cod. TT is live from the cottage and the vibes are immaculate. Queenie is back home and very aware that she's exactly one week away from showing up at four twenty-two because, yes, someone absolutely got busted trying to beat Queenie there last year with a little gifty bag of homemade granola. The code goes out at three-thirty and not a minute before. Some things are sacred. Before we even get to cannabis, we get a genuinely fascinating detour into Cape Cod maritime history. TT and her husband attended a live reenactment at what she's pretty sure was Race Point Beach, where costumed rescuers demonstrated the nineteenth-century breeches buoy system — a cannon-fired rope, a mast, a pair of sailor pants fashioned into a sling, and a zip line over freezing open water. They dragged the whole contraption three miles down the beach in a nor'easter, had to redo it twice because waves kept shifting the foundering boat, and ultimately saved over a hundred thousand lives with what was essentially improvised physics and a lot of guts. TT is clearly still moved by this. Queenie is clearly delighted. There's talk of shellfish farm tours, a pending eclipse wave situation, and the Big Dipper showing up unexpectedly in the living room window at two in the morning. Cape Cod is apparently doing a lot right now. The consumption check-in is a fond one. Queenie is holding a copper tin of Purple Voodoo from Ruby Farms — embossed label, painted-on branding, multiple colors, a little bit of Metallica energy. She and TT take a respectful moment to appreciate good packaging. TT, meanwhile, has been slowly ascending all afternoon on cannabis honey over at her sister's place, spread thick on a Portuguese muffin with almond butter. She thought she was fine. She was not fine. Her sister also thought she was fine. Also not fine. They figured it out around minute twenty of the jigsaw puzzle, which is honestly the ideal setting for that particular realization. There's a houseful of small humans involved this week — seven kids under five between the grand-nieces and nephews and the neighbor kids — and TT is fully leaning into her role as the unbothered elder at the gathering. Not her circus. Then a four-year-old with a plastic Polaroid camera asked her cousin if she could take a picture of his penis, and he, ever obliging, immediately dropped his shorts. The mothers deployed gentle parenting at full speed. The camera was confiscated. Reparations were required in the form of a spoken acknowledgment that we do not photograph people's privates. The acknowledgment was not immediately forthcoming. The acknowledgment eventually came, through repetition. TT watched all of this while gently lifted on a cannabis cocktail and describes it as the highlight of her evening. You believe her completely. The Wait Wait What segment this week covers two TikTok wellness trends that deserve scrutiny. First: shoving a raw clove of garlic up your nose to clear congestion. There are apparently viral videos of mucus flowing freely out of someone's nostril after removal, which sounds less like a cure and more like a crime scene. The garlic isn't clearing your sinuses — it's just irritating your delicate mucous membranes into a full evacuation. Queenie has childhood button-up-the-nose trauma that makes her a deeply unreliable advocate for nasal foreign objects. TT's proposal of a garlic tampon — nose edition, string included, designed for retrievability — is floated with complete sincerity and the segment ends with a jingle that will haunt you. Second trend: sticking your tongue out like a lizard for forty seconds to normalize cortisol. An Egyptian neurologist apparently had results. The girls are skeptical of the cortisol claim but admit that any forty-second intentional pause is probably grounding regardless of what your tongue is doing. They also note that a garlic clove hanging from your nose and your tongue fully extended will absolutely guarantee you personal space in any meeting, Zoom or otherwise. Silver lining. TT's Choice lands on number forty-seven: if CDQ became a TV show, who plays who? TT nominates Leanne Morgan for Queenie. Queenie counters with Jamie Lee Curtis for TT — "like me, with boobs." Kristen Johnston and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are also in the mix. This leads directly into a mutual appreciation of Seth Meyers's Day Drinking series, which Queenie has apparently discovered and is evangelical about. He cannot handle his liquor. It is, by her account, extremely funny. The Lizzo episode sounds unhinged. TT is intrigued. The Fuck It this week is the quiet, real kind. Queenie ran into someone she'd lost touch with — a person she used to spend a lot of time with — and instead of going into a full internal shame spiral, instead of skulking away, instead of falling over herself with explanation and apology and preemptive guilt, she just... was happy to see her. They met each other where they were. That was it. TT immediately clocks how significant this is. Old Queenie would have been sweating through the whole encounter, narrating every possible way she'd failed this person. This Queenie just showed up, present, no story. The fuck it here isn't dramatic — it's the fuck it to the chatter in your own head. To the little internal voice that's always ready with a verdict before you've even said hello. They credit the weekly ritual of naming things, talking it out, doing the work. If you name it, you can tame it. Queenie also notes, with no small amount of practical wisdom, that she came away from the encounter not having gotten the woman's updated phone number. Growth has its limits. They sign off warm — next episode they'll be recording together from the Cape, which has been the countdown since minute one. The week ahead includes a New Orleans-style band tonight, more puzzle progress on the record store jigsaw, and whatever the deep sea disco Provincetown parade ends up delivering in terms of mermaid costuming. The expectations are high. The bar is a lot of sequins and a fish tail. It will probably be met.

Drop us a line or two . . .Season five, and the queens are still at it. Queenie kicks things off solo while TT is dialing in from what sounds like an actual dream — lovely North Truro, Massachusetts, right on the water. Queenie is clearly dying to be there. The episode opens on something genuinely heady: a Vice article Queenie read about the "morbidity gap" — the growing distance between how long we live and how long we live *well*. Global life expectancy has climbed to nearly 74 years. Healthy life expectancy? About 63. For Americans, that gap has stretched to roughly 14 years — meaning a lot of people are alive on paper but grinding through chronic illness, disability, and pain for over a decade before the end. The queens land on the core problem immediately: modern medicine is fantastic at keeping people alive and not particularly great at keeping them *living*. TT brings up Atul Gawande's *Being Mortal* — a book both women clearly love — and the particularly brutal dynamic Queenie recalls from it: cardiologists who, because they *can* intervene, often feel compelled to, even when enough is enough. TT notes the healthcare staffing crisis layered on top of all this, and the conversation inevitably turns to the current administration's immigration policies gutting the workforce of people who showed up specifically to do those jobs. The whole thing lands somewhere between grim and galvanizing. Somewhere in the middle of all this, the two of them drift into what can only be described as an impromptu spoken word piece about the morbidity gap — trading lines about pills for the knee, stents for the artery, being saved from the dying but not from the living. It's part blues, part comedy roast of American healthcare, and it works. "They'll save you from the dying but they won't save you from the living" is just a line, delivered between two women riffing on a Massachusetts porch, and it lands harder than most things you'll hear in a week. The Wait Wait Wait What segment technically gets absorbed by the Tupperware conversation, which turns out to be surprisingly rich. Queenie makes the case — and it holds up — that younger women might not fully clock what Tupperware actually represented. In an era when women couldn't have their own credit cards, couldn't do the banking, had limited pathways to earning money outside the home, Tupperware parties weren't just about plastic containers with a satisfying burp seal. They were a mechanism for financial independence, schedule flexibility around domestic responsibilities, skill-building in sales and recruiting, and genuine social connection. The parties became a feature of life in the seventies, and TT remembers going to them as a young married woman. Mary Kay gets a mention — founded by a woman in her mid-sixties, which is its own kind of inspiration — and so does Pampered Chef, various home décor party schemes, and Amway (which, as Queenie notes, got a little sketchy). The throughline is women using what was available to them, even when what was available was modest, to carve out something of their own. TT's Choice — the segment where TT picks a number between one and seventy-five and gets a "what if" prompt — lands on number 74: *What if you could add one hour to every day that only you knew about? What goes in it?* TT doesn't hesitate long. Food, cannabis, and time with someone she loves who she doesn't get to see enough. Simple, honest, and a little heartbreaking. Queenie's answer is quieter: solitude, rejuvenation, a reset. Maybe the beach. She admits she's getting to the edge of worn down — grateful for work, glad for the people she's met, but running close to empty in a way that only a vacation can fix. TT, calling from said vacation, is not unsympathetic. Both of them notice that their answers centered on things that would genuinely nourish them — not productivity, not fixing anything for anyone else. As Queenie's mother apparently said: you can't take care of anybody else if you don't take care of yourself. Filed under: things we know and keep having to relearn. There's a brief detour into current events — gold-plated bridge statues installed to the tune of millions, forty-five Cadillac Escalades ordered for a motorcade, an Olympic athlete accused of vandalism in the reflecting pool who's now not being charged because it turned out to be an installation error. TT darkly considers what she'd do with a secret hour and some people she'd like removed from the world. Queenie plays dumb. Moving on. The Fucket List arrives, and TT's entry is: fuck it to wearing a bra. She's on vacation, she doesn't need the support (her words), and she'll wear a dark-colored t-shirt if her sons are around to spare them the trauma. Queenie, who has been going braless in her own house for years, is supportive of this development. The conversation evolves into a full taxonomy of bra policy by outfit type — buttons up, yes; hoodie, no; sundress, absolutely not — and a meditation on gravity, what it does to even modest amounts of breast tissue, and why it's surprising even when you had no real expectations to begin with. From there, the episode drifts into the sweet, slightly rueful territory that this show does so well: the disconnect between what your mind thinks your body can still do and what your body actually does. Queenie is thinking about going to the Cape and already mentally swimming out to a buoy, hauling herself up onto a platform, doing the kinds of things that once required zero advance planning. TT counters that they feel *young* when they're there. Ageless. And that's both the gift and the danger. They swap kayak stories — TT's sister flipping hers while getting out and landing knee-deep in water while TT sat on the beach laughing instead of helping, Queenie's sister stuck in an agonizing cross-country ski split in their mother's backyard while Queenie kept filming and offering no assistance whatsoever. Emergency response systems: fully offline. Comedic response systems: fully operational. The episode wraps warm — Queenie telling TT to enjoy herself, TT telling Queenie to hang in there, she'll be there soon. Queenie can't wait. After the official sign-off, Queenie overshares a little local history: Wolf Road used to be a two-lane farm road. The land behind her mother's house was once a pig farm and meat packing company. You could smell them making the bacon. She doesn't know why she feels compelled to reveal ancient history. She just does. Same, Queenie.

Drop us a line or two . . .The episode kicks off with Queenie sharing a genuinely sweet midweek adventure: she took two of her assignee's kids — a 17-year-old and a 13-year-old — to the Cheesecake Factory while their parents were opening a bank account. The older one was laser-focused on driving regulations and motorcycle licenses (Queenie admirably held her tongue on the motorcycle safety speech). The younger one? Entirely concerned with what time school starts and what's for breakfast. Kids, man. Dad, who's been in the country solo for five months waiting for his family to arrive, looked — her words — so happy and so relieved. It's a quietly moving little story buried in a Tuesday errand.Then it's time for the cannabis check-in. TT has consumed — a Flora Cal Farms gummy, working through her stash while counting down the days to her Massachusetts trip and a restock. Queenie jumps on that segue to mention there's a governor's race heating up, with one candidate planning to fund state needs through cannabis revenue — you know, the things the federal government has apparently decided are optional. Before anyone can get too excited, Queenie drops a bombshell: Massachusetts may have a ballot initiative this November to *repeal* recreational cannabis legalization. Not scale back, not adjust — repeal. The culprit being cited for upticks in youth cannabis use? Largely unregulated hemp-derived products sold at gas stations, not licensed dispensaries — which, it should be noted, run tighter ID checks than New York. Opponents want to return to a decriminalized-but-not-legal framework. The ladies are bewildered but not surprised. Meanwhile, California's state fair just made cannabis its biggest attraction ever, complete with consumption areas. Conflicting signals, as always.The research corner delivers something genuinely hopeful: a phase-two London trial involving 120 dementia patients found that nearly 90% receiving THC and CBD showed significantly reduced agitation over twelve weeks, compared to typical anti-agitation medications. For anyone who has watched a family member with advanced dementia deteriorate — or watched a caregiver reach their absolute limit — this lands. Queenie notes that agitation is often the tipping point when families say they can't do it anymore. No serious safety issues were reported. Caveats noted (not peer-reviewed, not a first-line therapy, professional supervision required), but the hope is real and both hosts feel it.The "Wait, What?" segment this week is actually a delight: French Sundays. The concept, apparently trending, is simply treating Sunday as the French traditionally do — a full day of rest, family, and absolutely nothing productive. No errands, no scheduled activities, just slow and still. Queenie and Queenie both immediately recognize it as childhood. Before stores were open seven days, before travel sports, before the internet had opinions about your productivity — Sunday was just *off*. The deeper point: you have to be able to do it guilt-free. Not white-knuckling your way through a nap while mentally listing everything you're ignoring. Just... being. Self-hibernation, as Queenie puts it. The episode later ends with TT performing an original French Sundays poem — wine at noon, bread, cheese, no apologies — and it's genuinely lovely.TT's Choice lands on number 23: hot flashes forever vs. night sweats forever. Neither is good. TT picks night sweats immediately — at least you're not performing a personal inferno for a live audience. Queenie agrees, recounting watching a woman her age just *become a furnace* mid-conversation. The solidarity is real. Queenie also admits she still gets the occasional night sweat — that sudden wash of heat moving through your body and then, yes, the cooling bamboo sheets she invested in are now cold and wet. They work. They do not work *enough.* The furnace wins. Another item for the list.Speaking of lists — the Fuck It List delivers this week, and it's a genuine victory lap. The mystery of the missing keys (lost eleven times, found in the bra, the freezer, the planter by the stairs, the coat pockets) has been solved. Queenie zip-tied the key ring directly to the purse. The purse never leaves her mother's side. The lanyard is long enough that she doesn't have to lift the entire purse to unlock a door. No tech, no app, no smart lock — just a six-inch zip tie and the accumulated frustration of a devoted, exhausted daughter who finally said *fuck it* and handled it. She felt triumphant. She deserved to.The episode closes with travel energy — TT and her partner are packing for the Cape, with TT's approach being "throw things on the bed and hope for the best" versus her partner's meticulous shirt count. A suitcase mostly of new underpants is involved. Brynn (daughter) has passed her unofficial puppy audition after successfully dog-sitting, and the puppy in question is growing fast and already doing a 30-second sit-stay before dinner. The pig update is, as always, essential: Bartholomew the 180-pound pet pig demands exactly three Cheerios after using the litter box, has claimed the couch permanently, and once hid himself entirely under a mountain of blankets — invisible, enormous, content. His unofficial co-owner would apparently not contest sole custody. The pig whisperer of the situation? Linda. Alan will not go near it.Next episode, TT will be seaside. Queenie will be counting the days. Everyone is encouraged to try a French Sunday.---## SHORT SUMMARYQueenie meets her assignee's kids over Cheesecake Factory excess, TT works through her cannabis stash while Massachusetts considers *repealing* recreational legalization, and a London dementia study offers real hope about THC and CBD for agitation. Also: night sweats vs. hot flashes, the triumphant zip-tie solution to a lost-key saga, a 180-pound pig who demands three Cheerios post-litter-box, and a pitch for guilt-free French Sundays — complete with an original poem.---## TOP 5 PULL QUOTES**Queenie:** "I understand people who are concerned about heroin and drug use — that ruins your life. But come on, this is pot we're talking about. Not only is it not harmful in most cases when it's used judiciously, it's helpful to people. It's helpful to so many people."**TT:** "I'd have to pick night sweats, even though I still get them sometimes, because at least you're not in public — you're not flaring up and having people stare at you going, 'Dear, are you okay?'"**Queenie:** "Bring the zip ties, bring ingenuity, bring a solution born of love — and zip tie the key to the purse, the purse she never puts down."**TT:** "You have to be able to do it guilt-free. Not sit there thinking, 'God, I should be doing this, I'm just lazy, what is wrong with me?' Because sometimes that's what you need to do."**TT (French Sundays poem):** "No guilt, no hustle, no excuses. Just bread and cheese and no apologies. The French pour the wine at noon and stay there, and nothing productive is missed."---## EPISODE VIBEThis one is warm and a little weary in the best possible way — the kind of episode that feels like a long phone call with someone who gets it. There's genuine tenderness in the stories (a relieved dad reunited with his family after five months, a daughter zip-tying keys to her mother's purse with quiet, determined love), real anger at the absurdity of the cannabis policy landscape, and actual hope in the dementia research. The humor is lived-in rather than performed — night sweat solidarity, a pig who has claimed the couch and everyone just accepts it, a suitcase of underpants as legitimate travel strategy. French Sundays gives it a closing exhale, a collective permission slip to just stop for a minute. It's an episode that earns its wry tone because underneath it, these two are clearly paying attention to the world and to each other.

Drop us a line or two . . .We open mid-life, mid-rain, mid-chaos — and fully on brand. Queenie's kicking things off fresh off a family reunion that somehow pulled together around 60 people under a pavilion while the weather did its worst. The rain, she reports, was actually a blessing — it corralled everyone together and made for a genuinely lovely day. Her mom, the family matriarch, had someone at her side every minute. Seven hours on poured concrete. Sixty people. Special-edition 250th anniversary rubber ducks wearing Uncle Sam hats and Mardi Gras beads. Trivia questions. Revolutionary War research that Queenie will readily admit her procrastination kept from being as thorough as intended. The ducks, she assures everyone, will be collector's items. Future generations will hold them up and say, "Look at this relic from when the Republic still stood." The physical toll of the reunion caught up with Queenie overnight — leg cramps, dehydration, chanting through the pain — which leads, naturally, into a colonoscopy update. Because of course it does. The prep, she confirms, is indeed a blast. Moving on. TT, meanwhile, is already feeling the effects of the big-ass bag of gummies — yes, that big-ass bag, the one they apparently weren't sure would still have any potency. It does. Potency plus. Queenie's working her way through a Hepworth Citrus Slurp — a teeny-weeny 0.35g pre-rolled dog walker, sun grown, naturally terpene rich, and delivering a clean sativa energy. The fly in the room, apparently, got the memo and departed when the fly swatter appeared, which sends them into a genuinely delightful detour about whether ants retrieve their dead, mourn their dead, or potentially require DNA evidence before accepting that a fallen comrade is really gone. Alexa is consulted. Designated undertaker workers, she reports, sense a death pheromone and remove corpses from the colony. They're just being tidy. The ants. Just being tidy. From ant funerals, Queenie pivots to a rant about the total myth of the paperless digital revolution, which she has been living in real time while navigating bureaucratic systems with assignees. Motor vehicles. Government agencies. Bank accounts. Not one transaction in twenty goes smoothly. You always need a paper backup for the digital. You always need to wait. You get called, miss your number, get called again out of sequence, haven't had a chance to fill out a single form yet because you were pulled to get your photo taken first. The receipt multiplies. The paperwork multiplies. The fax machines are still running somewhere in a government building. It is, Queenie concludes, organized crime. You do not exist until they tell you you exist, and they decide the terms. A little raw around the edges, she admits. A concentrated few weeks. Then it's time for Wait, What — and this week's entry is genuinely warm. Queenie shares the story of a British author who, on the occasion of turning 60, invited sixty people — strangers, acquaintances, old friends, her own children — to sit down and share a cup of tea with her. Part curiosity project, part antidote to the creeping shyness that snuck up on her in her later years. She kept a blog. She opened each conversation with a few consistent questions. She found that intentional listening — actually just listening, not advising — meant her kids opened up to her in ways they hadn't before. Intimate moments. Real connection. New friendships. New ideas. Queenie loves it. TT loves it. They wonder if they could do it. TT suspects she'd enjoy it enormously but is fuzzy on the mechanics of execution. They agree the format is flexible — tea, cookies, a brownie, a gummy, whatever. The key, Queenie says, is making it intentional. The conversation wanders into the current political moment, which is everywhere and unavoidable, and Queenie reflects that at the family reunion, even with all the patriotic ducks and anniversary fanfare, the prevailing mood around current events was more forlorn than defensive. Nobody was flying any flags for the other team. She notes they grew up watching their parents' generation of siblings never conflict — and they're just modeling that behavior. You hold onto the shared history. Cousin Sharon gets a moment: the only family member to have served in an active war zone. The men were never that closely involved in any conflict. That lands quietly. TT's Choice serves up number 49: would you rather have a podcast guest who is absolutely fascinating but hates you, or who loves you but has nothing interesting to say? Both hosts go immediately for fascinating-and-hostile. The reasoning: it's better for the audience. And honestly, better for them. TT admits she can make small talk for about a minute before the panic sets in. A minute, she clarifies, is a genuinely long time when you're flapping in the wind. They'd try charm and wit to win the hostile guest over. They'd feign a dropped connection if things got dire. They'd exit gracefully. They debate whether actively seeking someone who hates you is ethically sound podcasting practice or just fishing for drama. TT starts to say something, stops herself, and refuses to share it on air. This has apparently never happened before. Queenie is mildly unsettled. The Fuck It List this week: Queenie is retiring her compulsive apologies on the pickleball court. Her class was cancelled due to Canadian wildfire smoke — the air quality has been in the red-to-dangerous range, and there are days the sky goes visibly yellow. She and TT go deep on the state of the planet: El Niño, prescribed burns, the pine bush outside Albany that has to burn to bloom, the Karner blue butterfly, fires mapped across the entire globe on Weather Underground looking like the world is literally ablaze. Japan. China. Sandstorms from the desert traveling across continents. Canada. Pittsburgh. It's a lot. Back to the fuck it: TT has been apologizing reflexively on the pickleball court every time she misses a shot — and so has her partner. They both caught themselves doing it and looked at each other. They agreed: stop. Nobody's playing for money. Nobody's walking off a cliff. TT reflects that she's not used to team sports, doesn't love the pressure, feels responsible for the group, and carries the anxiety of visible positions — goalies, pitchers, catchers, all the people in the hot spots. Queenie points out that women apologize constantly for things outside their control. Bumping into someone. Missing a shot. Existing. The episode closes on that note — and on a song: a full musical number about the reflexive female apology. Apologizing to chairs. To waiters who brought the wrong plate. To the doctor for making you wait. To the stranger who stepped on your shoe. Every woman in the room nodded. They've been sorry since the age of eight. Queenie and TT sign off warmly. Then, in true CDQ fashion, the mics keep rolling while they attempt to figure out live streaming, test whether Queenie's black t-shirt creates a floating-head effect on camera (it kind of does), reference The Wizard of Oz, and confirm that they are, in fact, quite possibly one of a kind.

Drop us a line or two . . .LONG SUMMARYQueenie kicks things off fresh from a weekend packed with family events — her niece's bridal shower, a pool party at her sister-in-law's place, and what would have been her late mother-in-law Kay's third anniversary. The shower was a hit partly because the bride lives in Texas and had the good sense to put "just ship it" on the invitation, meaning zero gift-unwrapping theater, zero bow hats, zero frantic "she's in the bathroom, don't open it yet" energy. The scratch-off card game was a crowd-pleaser — you send in a photo of the groom, they print him into a celebrity card deck, guests scratch to find him, winner gets a gift bag. Clean, fun, no one had to pretend to cry over a KitchenAid.On the way to the pool party, Queenie stopped at a neighborhood lemonade stand (Disney World fund, very ambitious), handed over a ten, got some chitchat — and then, as she's leaving in her bathing suit, a little girl looks up and says, *I like your dress.* Queenie nearly corrected her and then wisely decided: no need. Just drive away in your very mini dress.The conversation pivots to long marriages when TT brings up a moment at pickleball — a sweet young woman, married two years, asked TT and her husband what their secret was after learning they'd been together 43 years (Queenie initially insisted it was 45 or 46; the math got worked out eventually). The husband's answer: "You have to learn when not to say things." Queenie's suggested alternatives: laziness, procrastination, inertia, conflict aversion, exhaustion, and not wanting to go broke. TT reveals the piece of advice she *wanted* to write on a bridal shower card once but didn't have the nerve to sign her name to. It is, shall we say, anatomically specific and probably the most useful thing anyone has ever almost written on one of those cards.This leads to a small detour about the lost art of handwriting — Queenie had to get a second advice card at the shower because her first attempt looked like it was written by, in her words, "a deranged old woman." Neither of them writes anymore. Cursive, once a graded subject, now just runs off the page on its own while the brain races ahead.The segment **Wait, What? No Way, José** lands on smell training and brain aging, sourced from a Harvard neurobiologist (legitimacy confirmed: it's not just hoo-ha). Turns out your nose is directly wired into cognitive, emotional, and memory centers of the brain, smell loss is linked to 139 health conditions, and simply sniffing five strong scents for 20 seconds twice a day — lavender, lemon, coffee, clove, eucalyptus — with active focus can improve verbal fluency and even increase hippocampus volume. The ladies immediately start workshopping their personal scent lineups. TT goes for baking bread, tomato plants, and basil. Queenie wants salt air (requires seaweed, complicated to bottle), eucalyptus, lavender, the smell of a baby's head, and the smell of spring — which she acknowledges is more of a smell memory than a smell. TT connects the dots: smells are evocative, strengthening the connection probably strengthens memory, and also TT has chronic sinus issues so this whole exercise might be harder for her. Queenie floats eucalyptus as a possible unclogger. Nobody huffs gasoline, despite TT's complicated feelings about it.Hot on the heels of nose science comes a cannabis news drop: a large new study published in BMJ Mental Health found no link between cannabis use and cognitive decline or dementia risk in older adults. Unlike the patchwork of conflicting prior studies, this one has statistical weight — large observational sample plus genetic causation testing. The researchers themselves say it's reassuring, not a green light for heavy use. Queenie's editorial: "Put that in your pipe and smoke it, everybody." TT suspects the dementia scare was always a "dog whistle" designed to keep older adults — now the biggest cannabis-purchasing demographic — away from the dispensary.**TT's Choice** pulls number 50: *What if you woke up fluent in one new language? Which one, and what's the first thing you say?* TT chooses American Sign Language. Queenie blinks. Slowly. Several times. She comes around — ASL is cool, meaningful, a genuine bridge — but not before pointing out that you can't exactly holler across a room in it and that the deaf community is, statistically speaking, a smaller conversation pool than Mandarin speakers. TT's first thing she'd sign: *Hey, I can communicate with you.* Queenie's pick is Hindi or Mandarin, motivated by sheer population density and years of working with people from India and China. Her first phrase would be "How may I best support you?" They both know exactly one useful sign — the universal one — and demonstrate it enthusiastically. World peace is declared, then immediately rescinded.**The Fuck It List** this week belongs to Queenie, who has been drowning in communication chaos. Working with relocation assignees, she's been available in every possible channel simultaneously — WhatsApp, texting, email, calls — with no structure, no response windows, 14 draft messages floating in the ether. She's saying fuck it to the myth of 24/7 availability and replacing it with something she finds less loaded than "setting boundaries": setting expectations. Spelling out clearly what method to use when, what response time is realistic, what constitutes an emergency. TT's contribution: "Clarity is kindness." They both acknowledge the particular guilt that comes with this for women of their generation — trained to give, to accommodate, to say yes and mean it and then quietly resent it. Queenie also notes the extra complication: some of her assignees are new to a city with no social network, making her feel like the only lifeline. Still. Expectations. In writing. Part of the intake process. Done.The back half is pure domestic dispatch: TT is doing smoothies for lunch, lost some weight, allowed herself ice cream on the Wisconsin River (a ferry went past; they did not take it), and permits herself two pieces of hard candy a day. Queenie is preparing for a colonoscopy on Wednesday — which she is reframing as "Cleansday" and, after the year she had, genuinely does not fear. She was apparently scolded last time for insufficient prep results, a situation she finds baffling since she followed instructions and couldn't exactly verify from her end. More Miralax this time. She's fine with it. Meanwhile, Queenie's daughter Megan had her first mammogram and got called back — technical imaging issue, folding, unclear view, very common for a first scan, not worrying anyone. Queenie's granddaughter just started high school. Time, as always, is marching on without asking permission.They close, as they do, pleasantly confused and absolutely fine with it.SHORT SUMMARYQueenie survived a bridal shower, a pool party, and being complimented on her "dress" (it was a bathing suit) — all in one weekend. CDQ covers smell training as a legit brain health tool, a reassuring new cannabis-and-cognitive-decline study, a TT's Choice debate about sign language vs. Mandarin, and Queenie's Fucked List entry on finally setting expectations — not boundaries, *expectations* — around her availability. Aging brains, long marriages, colonoscopy prep, and ASL for "fuck you": a perfectly normal episode. TOP 5 PULL QUOTES**TT:** "There's no problem that a blowjob can't fix. I didn't have the guts to write it — I didn't know these people."**Queenie:** "I have long-term care insurance, and I'm not afraid to exhaust all my benefits. And when they're gone, guess what? So am I."**TT:** "To what do you attribute your successful marriage? And I said, I don't know. And honey said, You have to learn when not to say things."**Queenie:** "I'm saying fuck it to the pretense that I'm available twenty-four seven. My assignees will be better served if I just spell it out — setting expectations, not boundaries. Clarity is kindness."**Queenie:** "I'm looking forward to my colonoscopy prep because I'll drop a few pounds. I'm viewing it as a cleanse. A reset. I can start fresh. That's what I should've been calling it all along — Cleansday."# EPISODE VIBEIt's the kind of episode that feels like eavesdropping on two people who've known each other long enou Welcome to the Closet Disco Queen Pot-Cast, a #1 ranked Women in Cannabis (Feedspot, Million Pods; 2025) comedy podcast with music and pop culture references that keeps you laughing and engaged.

Drop us a line or two . . .## LONG SUMMARYIt's the day after the Fourth of July, and Queenie is calling in from Clifton Park, New York while TT is holding down the fort in Wisconsin. The holiday recap is suitably low-key — TT's dog was scared, the neighbors were mostly unbothered, and Queenie caught some fireworks through the car window while she was out on the road. But the big headline out of D.C. was apparently the air quality warning advising people to wear face masks at what was billed as the largest fireworks display in the history of humanity. Eight hundred and seventy-five thousand rockets, extreme humidity, and a lingering sulfur cloud over the nation's capital. Queenie could still smell the Clifton Park show on her dogs at ten o'clock. She does not recommend.From there, the conversation shifts into the kind of honest civic processing that's become a CDQ signature. TT mentions that a speech by "Mom Dami" the day before the Fourth actually gave her some genuine hope — eloquent, non-partisan, focused on ideals over grievance. Queenie ran across a New York Times op-ed featuring a panel of historians who largely agreed: this is a blip, not the end. America has been here before, it will come out of this, and maybe some things that needed to be reset will get reset. Neither of them are fully buying it, but they're choosing to hold onto it. The World Cup gets a nod as an unexpected patriotism booster — watching the sheer diversity of the American team and the fans who traveled to see them is, it turns out, a decent antidote to doom-scrolling.Then TT reports from the pickleball front, and it does not disappoint. After getting rained out earlier in the week due to a heat wave that made going outside feel like climbing into an oven, TT and her husband ("honey") braved a full-blown thunderstorm to make it to their beginner class. Worth it: their teacher declared the whole group significantly more advanced than her other beginners. TT was not individually singled out for exceptional ball-handling skills, she is very clear about this. What she was singled out for — though only in her own conscience — was accidentally ricocheting a serve off the head of the guy next to her. She checked him for welts multiple times throughout the remainder of class. No dimplage. The car also survived the hail threat unscathed. All things considered, a win.Cannabis check-in: TT is on a Lazerín sativa pink lemonade gummy ahead of an art afternoon with her son and his friends — she secured glue from Walmart at zero-dark-thirty that morning and baked muffins. She is thriving. Queenie is working a teeny tiny .35 pre-roll from Hepworth — Durban Poison and Tarte Cherry, a hybrid — which she gamely attempts to show the camera while forgetting she's mirrored. The paper reads "WAR." It says RAW. Big news on the infused beverage front: Weed Water has leveled up to twelve-ounce cans at ten milligrams with new flavors. Queenie and her daughter Megan road-tested some at a soccer viewing and report it is not overly sweet, has a pleasant sparkle, and is extremely beach-appropriate. There is also some conversation about hundred-milligram gummies being sold in California, which both women regard with the respectful distance one reserves for a very loud stranger at a party. TT topped out at twenty milligrams and was, by her own description, a limp noodle. Queenie thinks she'd sooner try a mushroom that makes you see Lilliputians.The "Wait, What?" segment this week tackles why time feels like it's been fast-forwarded since roughly your mid-thirties. Queenie explains: when you're young, everything is new, your brain is working hard to process unfamiliar inputs, and that effort expands your subjective sense of time. As you age, your brain goes on autopilot — it's processed most of this before, so it files it away without ceremony and time collapses. When you're five, one year is twenty percent of your entire life. At sixty, it's a rounding error. The fix? Get off autopilot. Take a different route. Learn something new. Challenge your brain enough that it decides the memory is worth keeping. TT immediately connects this to pickleball — having to actually think about rules and positioning is genuinely hard in a way that things haven't been in a while, and she suspects she may have been running on autopilot since her three-and-a-half years as her mom's full-time caregiver. Queenie suggests cannabis as a supplementary time-stretcher, which TT endorses warmly and from recent personal experience.TT's Choice serves up a classic dispensary dilemma: genius bud tender, terrible product — or stunning inventory, bud tender who will not stop talking? Both land on product, with the caveat that if you're a first-timer, the knowledgeable bud tender wins going away. Walking into a wall of products with no guidance and an unhelpful talker is a recipe for paralysis and probably buying the wrong thing.The Fuck It List closes things out with TT reclaiming the American flag. She wore bunting around her waist to a protest that got rained out, and she is flying her flag at home — not as a political statement but as a counter-statement: this flag belongs to everyone, and she is not ceding it to anyone. Queenie seconds this hard. The pickup-truck-with-a-flag-in-the-bed image has done real damage to a symbol they grew up loving, and both of them are done letting that stand. From there: concern about proposed travel bans on pregnant women, TT's correction that Texas is requiring kids to read the Bible (not pray — she got that wrong last week, she owns it), a quick primer on why separation of church and state was quite literally the whole point of leaving England, and a sign-off that is somehow both exhausted and defiant.---## SHORT SUMMARYQueenie and TT ring in the post-Fourth of July with fireworks smoke, pickleball head injuries, and a serious conversation about reclaiming patriotism from people who turned a flag into a bumper sticker. Along the way: Weed Water upgrades, a science lesson on why time speeds up as you age (cannabis helps), and a TT's Choice that asks whether you'd rather have great weed or a great bud tender — but not both.---## TOP 5 PULL QUOTES**TT:** "The most I've ever had is twenty milligrams and I was like a limp noodle."**Queenie:** "Routine puts your brain on autopilot. As you get older, you're probably no longer working, you're not meeting new people every day — it's a little more challenging to keep stimulating things and getting off autopilot."**TT:** "Nobody gets to take my flag away from me. It's my country too. It's all of our country."**TT:** "I would go where the product is — though I could make a case for going where the bud tender is and then buying the product somewhere else, but that feels a little disingenuous. Like you're just tapping their brain for information and then going to spend your money somewhere else."**Queenie:** "Once I let go of that fantasy, I was able to re-embrace our country and our principles — with warts and all. I still think it's the greatest place on earth to be living. I'm not gonna let anybody take that from me."---## EPISODE VIBEThis one has the texture of a long phone call with your smartest, most politically awake friend on a slightly hungover holiday weekend — warm and rambly on the surface, sharper underneath. The mood travels: it opens loose and funny (fireworks air quality warnings, pickleball head trauma, candy factory nostalgia), settles into something genuinely reflective in the middle (time, memory, autopilot, getting older without disappearing), and closes with a kind of quiet, defiant hopefulness that doesn't feel performed. Neither Queenie nor TT is pretending things are fine, but they're also refusing to hand over the things they love — their country, their flag, their sense of humor — to people who've been very loud about wanting them. The cannabis conversation is easy and comfortable in the way it always is when the hosts actually use the stuff. Overall register: seasoned, candid, a little tired, but not beaten.

Drop us a line or two . . .There's a BIG announcement from Queenie and TT, once they get through some talk about softball, pickleball, and body betrayals. They aren't on the same page with TT's Choice, but can see each other's perspective (of course!). And the F*** It List entry pushes back on the over-50 generations' focus on women being "good" and "nice," often at our own expense. There's lots of laughter, music and maybe too much information...at least in Honey's opinion.  Welcome to the Closet Disco Queen Pot-Cast, a #1 ranked Women in Cannabis (Feedspot, Million Pods; 2025) comedy podcast with music and pop culture references that keeps you laughing and engaged.

Drop us a line or two . . .We open mid-chaos — Queenie's looking out the window at incoming weather and clocking the Belmont Stakes clock ticking down, while TT is recovering from twenty-one (count 'em, twenty-one) unsolicited phone calls from a porch enclosure company after the crime of simply browsing their website. One innocent look at three-season room options, and suddenly her phone is a hostage situation. Queenie sympathizes — she knows the company, they did her mother's enclosure — and confirms: yes, those people are hungry. TT vows never to do that again. From there it's a brief dispatch on Queenie's brother Brian, who's been hospitalized with a nosebleed that became genuinely life-threatening because he's on blood thinners. The dilemma, as Queenie frames it with zero sugarcoating: do you want to die of a heart attack or bleed out? Pick one. His wife's emergency field fix involved a tampon, which bought some time before getting saturated. He's going home with explicit instructions to never blow his nose again. He also looks like Shrek. He has not slept. Everybody is just fine. This slides naturally into the broader theme of everybody around them crumbling simultaneously — friends at doctors multiple times a week for different things, the body not cooperating the way it did at forty, children turning forty themselves (which: how), and the general indignity of midlife maintenance. TT notes to Honey earlier that day that "we all have something going on" and you just have to accept it. Queenie does not love this but cannot argue with it. There's a brief musical interlude celebrating cardiac stents and replacement shoulders, which honestly feels earned. The conversation turns to self-work and therapy — TT wonders aloud whether there are people who just... move on from childhood without any excavation, and Queenie's verdict is swift: those people are freaking crazy. You can usually tell when someone has done the work, she says, often by their vocabulary. This loops into narcissists, which both of them have in their lives, and the grim reality that there's no cure. Options are limited: go dark (no contact) or go grey (cordial, minimal, zero extra effort). The segue to the current political moment is smooth and immediate. Queenie describes the commander in chief as having "normalized" narcissism and brings up the AI-generated Trump-in-cheerleader-short-shorts image circulating online. It's Pride Month, she notes. He may finally be coming out. They laugh. TT reminds them they're laughing all the way to hell. Also: screwworms are back, ocean monitoring equipment is being removed, and there's no oversight of anything anymore. If you see things moving in your food, just ignore it. On the cannabis check-in: TT has had a full ten-milligram Floracal Farms Live Rosin Pink Lemonade sativa gummy (complete gummy, very deliberate), and Queenie has been smoking Banana Punch, a pre-ground indica with very small print on the packaging. Banana as a flavor descriptor is noted to be uncommon. This is deemed worth mentioning. The show's real comedic peak arrives courtesy of Conan O'Brien's podcast. Queenie went down a YouTube rabbit hole after Conan interviewed an intimacy coordinator, which led her to a segment featuring a young man whose company makes thirty-two custom condom sizes and offers a hotline where you can speak to said gentleman if you're unsure which size to order. He claims to be able to tell if callers are being truthful. TT has already seen this. The bit about guidance counselors not recommending "talking about dicks all day" as a career path lands. Queenie's advice: measure twice, not once. You only want to make that mistake one time. They are crying laughing. The news segment covers TSA's updated guidance technically allowing medical marijuana in carry-on and checked bags, with a TSA officer retaining final discretion. Queenie and TT are skeptical — it sounds great until you realize there's no guidance on how much, in what form, or what documentation actually counts as proof. Also: dogs in airports are primarily sniffing for explosives, not drugs, Queenie notes, so don't panic. Bottom line: it's loosey goosey, probably a step in the right direction, and you're still taking a risk. Bring your documentation. Keep original packaging. Maybe don't. TT's Choice (number sixty-six): Would you rather live your life as a reality show or a documentary? TT picks documentary, then has to be walked through what a documentary actually is when she's alive, then sticks with her answer on the grounds that reality shows feel predatory and she wouldn't want to be the subject of one. Queenie's contribution is to narrate TT's life in nature documentary voice — "here we have TT in her natural habitat... notice how she eats a gummy prior to coitus." This evolves into a discussion of rhino mating, specifically the part where the male must remain motionless inside the female for seven minutes without moving or the clock resets. Queenie has recently found this very erotic. She is going to tell Honey. TT's stomach hurts. Queenie names her reality show *Call T*. Done. The Fuck It List this week is a serious one: a friend of Queenie's, a woman their age with significant cardiac history, had her blood pressure medication changed and spent weeks feeling terrible, voicing concern at her hospital stay, being dismissed, and only getting the medication switched back when her primary care physician called the cardiologist directly. Within a day, she felt better. The fuck it goes to not giving up, to trusting your own body, and to having your problems minimized by a medical system that still, somewhere in its bones, operates like doctors are gods you stand up for when they enter the room. Queenie's message: advocate for yourself, and if you can't, find someone who can. The healthcare system is fragmented, it will trample you, and you are the only one who lives in your body. They close out with upcoming weeks — TT's visiting her son's art thing, Queenie has a quiet week plus a golf date before an absolutely packed following week including a tour for a potential new employer. Father's Day is next week. Wishes will be extended then. Bye bye. The outro is a song. TT wrote a lament about a zinnia eaten by a rabbit before it could grow. The final lines are: *those little fuckers. Those little fuckers. This was the zinnia of my dreams.* Truly, no notes.

Drop us a line or two . . .This episode opens the way the best ones do — mid-ramble, mid-life, totally unrushed. Queenie and TT kick things off with a digression about estate sales and thrift shops, specifically the unsettling realization that the stuff of their childhoods is now being tagged and priced at church basements across America. Harvest gold Tupperware. Avocado canisters. Country geese with blue bows around their necks. Roosters. Wallpaper you could strip with a steam iron and seventeen years of your life. They're not mourning exactly — more like doing that thing where you laugh because the alternative is sitting with the actual weight of time passing, and who has the energy for that.Queenie is riding a sativa-leaning hybrid from Ghost (a brand she's clearly developing brand loyalty to), and TT is working through a hummy gummy situation. Both are in decent spirits. TT has also been gifted, by her son and his partner, a book called *420 Things You Can Draw While High*, which has become a legitimate source of joy — she drew a Girl Scout brownie in a crystal sundae dish, which is genuinely perfect, and a spliff rocket, because she knows how to make a spliff and wanted to put that knowledge to use. Queenie suggests she share her drawings on the pod. We are on board with this.From there, the news portion arrives, and it's a bummer, as news tends to be. TT brings up a Louisiana bill signed by the governor that tacks on up to a year in jail and a thousand-dollar fine for anyone caught smoking, vaping, or consuming cannabis within two thousand feet of a school — which, given how schools are distributed across a populated state, essentially means a significant chunk of private homes qualify. Dorms too. Both women note the particular absurdity of layering additional criminal penalties onto something that's already illegal in Louisiana, seemingly in service of a "drug-free school zone" philosophy that has historically functioned less as child protection and more as an excuse to put people back in jail. Queenie points out that New York allows cannabis consumption anywhere cigarettes are permitted, and both agree that the Louisiana approach has a lot more to do with politics and performative toughness than any genuine public safety interest.This slides, as it reliably does on this pod, into broader political territory. E. Jean Carroll comes up — TT and Queenie both clearly appalled by what they're watching unfold with the retaliatory lawsuit behavior. Then: the Kennedy Center, the gilded bronze horses on the Arlington bridge (twenty-two-point-four carat gold, paid for by taxpayers, which Queenie cannot get over), the reflecting pool, the UFC fighting ring being erected on federal grounds, the music festival that now apparently features Kid Rock and a lot of empty slots. Queenie delivers what may be the episode's thesis: "There is no bottom for this guy. There is no bottom." They eventually, consciously, make themselves stop. There is a lot they could say. They choose not to spend all their energy there.Then comes TT's Choice, the either/or/what-if game. TT pulls number 33: *What if you could unmeet one person from your life? No hard feelings, they just never happened.* TT goes first and doesn't hesitate long — she wants to unmeet Lou, a man who entered her family's life as a business partner for her husband and proceeded to steal the company out from under him. She's still carrying rancor about it. She admits she was charmed by him at the initial meeting — charismatic, smooth talker — and believes she might have talked her husband out of the deal if she'd never met the man. Queenie nominates a former daughter-in-law, and the word she uses is "unredeeming," meaning the person brought nothing — nothing — into the lives of anyone around her. Whole family affected. She doesn't need much time to arrive at this answer either.What's interesting is where the conversation goes after the nominations: both women start circling the idea that holding onto this kind of bitterness is, functionally, still letting those people win. Queenie quotes her mother — "he who angers you controls you" — and means it. They land somewhere honest: it's hard to let go, but anger takes energy, and energy is finite and worth protecting. TT resolves to do a little ceremony. Burn something in effigy. Smudge it out. They've both mostly let it go, mostly. The "mostly" is doing a lot of work there, and they know it, and that's okay.The Fuck It List lands on high heels, and it's a full prosecution. TT wore chunky heels to an outdoor ceremony recently — had to dig them out from the top of the closet, climb a stool to reach them — and spent the day tottering around paying for it. Her new Skechers have elastic laces and she is evangelical about them. Queenie surrendered heels years ago on account of her feet and has not looked back. Together they trace the whole origin of the heel as a beauty construct: it's about making women's legs look longer, which is about appealing to the male gaze, which connects to makeup, to plastic surgery, to everything related to looking "good"!

Drop us a line or two . . .This week, TT survives a heroic (if bruising) escape from a dream assailant via an impressive mid-sleep dismount, and Queenie's sister quits her toxic job with no safety net and full support from the hosts. The two dig into a JAMA study on why older adults are cannabis's fastest-growing demographic — and have thoughts about whether "I just like the way I feel" counts as a valid medical reason. Plus: Conan O'Brien's edible anxiety, Gas Pops, a commitment ceremony, and a very spirited TT's Choice about microdosing before job interviews.

Drop us a line or two . . .Queenie and TT check in from opposite sides of the country — one narrowly missed by a falling tree, one managing four international assignees and a rogue brain. They cover Target selling cannabis beverages in red states, a gummy rebrand nobody asked for, the question of which single hour of the day you'd choose to get high (they'd never pick the same one), and why women their age should stop hiding when things are hard. It ends with an extended meditation on muffs. Obviously.

Drop us a line or two . . .Pull up a chair, kick off those platform shoes, and pour yourself something nice — Closet Disco Queen is back with another episode that proves midlife is anything but boring. This week, Queenie and TT are finally face to face — no camera, just vibes and good green — and they're covering everything from cemetery maintenance to artisanal cannabis brands, and a surprisingly moving conversation about friendship, grief, and the art of letting go. TT opens up about honoring a deathbed promise to her late father by finally visiting the family mausoleum — a four-slot marble structure near the flagpole that hadn't seen a cleaning in decades. It's funny, it's tender, and it somehow leads into a broader conversation about rituals, memory, and what it means to hold space for the people we've lost. On the consumption check, Queenie is rolling with Ghost Z-Animal, a smooth indica that's been helping manage chronic foot pain from bone spurs, while TTs working through a deal she scored at Royale Flower — two packs of Wana gummies for the price of one. Speaking of Royale, the hosts spotlight Silly Nice, a Black-owned, veteran-owned, small-batch New York cannabis brand that just restocked at their favorite women-owned Albany dispensary. If you care about where your cannabis comes from and who's behind it, this is a brand worth knowing. TT's Choice gets personal this week. The scenario: would you rather have your adult kid move back in, or your mother? What starts as a silly either/or spirals into a genuinely moving meditation on time, mortality, and the complicated dynamics of being someone's child while also being someone's parent. Bring tissues. Or a gummy. Honestly, both.

Drop us a line or two . . .This episode kicks off mid-chaos, as all the best ones do. Queenie's smoking a Triangle Kush pre-roll from Ghost ("it's an Indica — very nice") and TT has accidentally consumed 25 milligrams of passion fruit gummy thinking it was maybe a half of a 20. She's boarding a 5:30 a.m. flight to come see Queenie, a flight that somehow routes through Atlanta and somehow cost her $81 more than advertised because she didn't realize clicking seats wasn't free. The airlines are a grift, Spirit is dead, and — naturally — it's Biden's fault.Which leads, as all conversations apparently do, directly to Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Al Gore, Watergate, and the complete collapse of civics education in America. The women agree: we haven't recovered from Watergate and younger people probably don't know what it is, and here we are. TT brings the news segment, reporting on the DEA rescheduling saga — cannabis going from Schedule I to Schedule III — with the Johns Hopkins/University of San Diego analysis of nearly 50,000 public comments showing most people felt the move didn't go nearly far enough. Descheduling is the word on the street, and a new comment period is open. They also wade briefly into the psychedelics conversation, genuinely puzzled about how mushrooms got in the policy fast lane while cannabis has been grinding for 50 years. Then things get... existential. TT casually drops that her breakfast friends are considering purchasing firearms because they're worried America is heading toward Mad Max territory. Queenie's jaw hits the floor. A real, surprisingly tender conversation follows about fear, scarcity mentality, whether humanity trends toward cooperation or self-preservation, the American Revolution as a civil war, the London Blitz, Sophie's Choice, and — somehow — whether dogs get a better afterlife than people (they clearly do, and TT would prefer to go where the dogs go). The Fuck It segment delivers a listener submission: saying fuck it to tolerating racist, homophobic, or just plain nasty relatives and acquaintances who've gotten newly emboldened. The consensus: read the room, keep your hands to yourself, and if you can't be respectful, don't say anything at all. The episode closes with two absolute banger original songs — one about the hosts' prepper neighbors with their freeze-dried everything and ham radios, and the other a midlife manif Welcome to the Closet Disco Queen Pot-Cast, a #1 ranked Women in Cannabis (Feedspot, Million Pods; 2025) comedy podcast with music and pop culture references that keeps you laughing and engaged.

Drop us a line or two . . .This week, Queenie & TT ride out literal and emotional storms—from Midwest tornado warnings to the unpredictable reality of caregiving for aging parents.Queenie shares the heartbreaking contrast between her mom's structured weekdays and disoriented weekends, highlighting the exhausting “Jekyll & Hyde” nature of cognitive decline. Meanwhile, TT reflects on the quiet (and not-so-quiet) challenges of midlife caregiving, identity shifts, and learning—finally—to prioritize self-care without guilt.The duo also dives into: A bizarre new cannabis policy workaround that could impact the entire hemp industry  Why creativity might matter more than relaxation (yes, really)  The emotional tug-of-war between productivity and purpose  And a very satisfying “F*ck It” moment about refusing to tolerate disrespect—anywhere, especially where you spend your money As always, it's real talk, a little dark humor, and the kind of conversation that makes you feel seen—especially if you're living that sandwich-generation life.

Drop us a line or two . . .In this special 420 episode of the Closet Disco Queen Podcast, Queenie and TT end Season 4 with cannabis, comedy, and a conversation that feels both timely and overdue.TT is back from Mexico, adjusting to rainy weather, a broken dryer, and the return to everyday life, while Queenie reports on spring finally arriving in the Northeast, complete with birds nesting, squirrels tormenting the dog, and all the usual domestic chaos. They share what they're consuming today, including a Healthy Honeys Blueberry Blast solventless vape and a Bison Botanicals strawberry rhubarb lemonade, and talk about the difference in quality and experience when cannabis products are made cleanly and thoughtfully.In this week's cannabis news, they touch on the still-slow progress of legalization at the federal level, the uncertainty around new leadership, and new Canadian data showing cannabis use is rising while alcohol use is falling—evidence that people are making a real shift, not just experimenting.Then it's time for their favorite game, where TT once again tries to determine whether a story is cannabis-related or just “ca-ca with a K.” As usual, the truth proves stranger than fiction.The heart of the episode is a conversation with Shannon Donnelly, founder of Healthy Honeys, who joins the queens to talk about her company's mission: making cannabis education approachable, especially for women. Shannon explains the importance of solventless products, why women over 50 are a huge but underserved cannabis audience, and how her “party” model brings women together to learn, ask questions, and explore cannabis in a relaxed, social setting. Think Tupperware party… but make it weed, wellness, and actual useful information.The episode wraps with this week's Fuck-It List entry: Queenie officially says fuck it to cleaning her own floors, thanks to a robot vacuum/mop that has changed her life. Midlife, she says, is about finding smarter ways to live—and not feeling guilty about accepting help.Funny, informative, and very much in the Closet Disco Queen spirit, this episode is all about cannabis, community, and making life a little easier.

Drop us a line or two . . .This week on Closet Disco Queen, Queenie and TT kick things off with wildlife chaos (mice, rabbits, and an unexpected “buck rub” situation) before diving into a conversation that takes a sharp and meaningful turn into midlife health, hormones, and letting go.Because at this stage of life, everything is on the table.TT shares a long-awaited gynecologist visit and her decision to explore a newer estrogen therapy designed to stimulate the body's own hormone production — without systemic side effects. The conversation is candid, honest, and exactly the kind of real talk women don't get nearly enough of.Naturally, this leads to:

Drop us a line or two . . .This week on Closet Disco Queen, Queenie and TT start the morning with birthdays, kitchen renovations, and the promise of spring before diving into one of life's most pressing questions:Why do humans have permanent boobs?A fascinating (and slightly hilarious) evolutionary theory suggests breasts may have evolved to keep newborn babies warm. Who knew the girls might actually be built-in heating systems?Meanwhile, TT reports from a very relaxing visit with her sisters where a mysterious batch of cannabis-infused honey makes an appearance — delivering the kind of mellow high that keeps on giving.In cannabis news, a troop of entrepreneurial Girl Scouts in New Jersey discovered the most strategic cookie-selling location imaginable:outside a cannabis dispensary.Record cookie sales followed.The queens also explore:• why infused honey might be the next great edible• strawberry-scented pre-rolls and the science of terpenes• the surprising careers nobody talks about (including dildo quality control)• planning ahead so your children never discover your… “personal artifacts”• and the eternal question: Is it cannabis related or just “kaka with a K”?Plus, in a chaotic round of the game, TT tries to determine whether:• a rabbit got high eating someone's cannabis plants• or a stoned brownie eater really tried to call 911 on their handSpoiler: reality is sometimes stranger than cannabis.As always, the queens remind us that midlife curiosity, laughter, and a little cannabis wisdom can make the world feel just a little brighter.So grab a gummy, kick off your platform shoes, and join the conversation.

Drop us a line or two . . .Queenie kicks things off with a full report on “cheating” on her longtime stylist when a French salon manager steps in and delivers oddly regal, precision-level hair artistry… plus a shampoo chair massage that basically qualifies as diplomacy. The two riff on aging moments that hit like a surprise slap (hello, “65+” as the final survey category), how invisibility feels real in midlife, and why humor is the only sane response.TT shares cannabis news out of Wisconsin: a proposed bill that would legalize adult-use and medical cannabis while also regulating intoxicating hemp products. They break down the proposed possession limits and talk about how public support is ahead of lawmakers.Then it's game time: “Was it cannabis? Or was it caca with a K?” TT nails a wild Japan story about YouTubers setting up street sellers to be arrested for content (and getting arrested themselves), and then gets blindsided by an Irish man claiming a kilo of cannabis was for “homemade soup.” The episode wraps with a fresh addition to the Fuck-It List—three friends deciding to join a community choir even if they can't sing… because joy > dignity.

Drop us a line or two . . .Queenie and TT record in the morning like the agile legends they are… despite a little tech lag. They recap a quiet Stink-O-Rama roller skating day, celebrate Chef Son's homemade feast, and spiral (comedically) into the brutal truth of aging, hormones, and the “we're shriveling into dust balls” era. They revisit Tanya's menopause/HRT wisdom, debate psychedelics and microdosing, and share what they're consuming. TT covers a dating poll suggesting cannabis use is more “green flag” than “red flag,” then the ladies play “Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda—Was it Cannabis or Caca?” Finally, the Fuck-It List targets the weird guilt around watching TV during the day—because retirement means you can watch Netflix at 2pm if you damn well please.Episode summary (long)This week, Closet Disco Queen goes full “morning people (temporarily)” with Queenie and TT battling a little lag, a little pixelation, and a lot of midlife honesty. Queenie shares a return to Stick-O-Rama (empty rink = bliss), a big family moment, and the shock of time flying. The conversation turns to the very real physical shift that seems to hit in the early 60s—skin changes, hormone deprivation, and the urgent mission to get “back on the horse” (radiant edition).They reflect on Tanya's candid menopause/sex/HRT conversation and unpack the idea of psychedelics—what microdosing actually means, why the stigma lingers even for cannabis-friendly folks, and whether “if not now, when?” applies here.TT's “Where is it legal?” segment brings a positive story: a dating poll where marijuana use reads more green flag than red flag (while cigarettes and riskier drugs are bigger turnoffs). Then it's game time: Mitch McConnell frolicking in hemp (real) vs. an HOA hemp-rope freakout (sadly, caca).The episode wraps with the Fuck-It List: ditching the unwritten rule that daytime TV is “bad” unless you're sick—because retirement means your stories are back on the menu.midlife cannabis podcastmenopause and cannabis conversationHRT and estrogen misinformationcannabis legalization “where is it legal”cannabis and dating poll green flagmicrodosing psychedelics midlife discussionfunny menopause podcast episode Welcome to the Closet Disco Queen Pot-Cast, a #1 ranked Women in Cannabis (Feedspot, Million Pods; 2025) comedy podcast with music and pop culture references that keeps you laughing and engaged.

Drop us a line or two . . .This week is a special guest episode, and it's spicy, honest, and wildly overdue. Queenie & TT are joined by Tanya Griffin — health educator, entrepreneur, and long-time voice in women's wellness — for a candid conversation about the stuff we were raised to whisper about… in a brown paper bag… “down below.”They talk menopause and perimenopause without the shame, the real impact hormones have on mood, confidence, and sex, and why so many women were terrified out of estrogen for decades. Tanya breaks down what she wishes every woman knew: that pleasure is not optional, lube belongs at the party, and women deserve accurate information — not fear-mongering.You'll hear practical, frank talk about:why intimacy can suddenly become painful in midlife (and what helps)how cannabis can support focus, relaxation, and being presentthe “bloody noise” in our heads and how to quiet itadvocating for yourself with your doctor when the medical system hasn't kept upditching old taboos and reclaiming sex, pleasure, and agencyThen Queenie & TT close the episode with this week's Fuck-It List entry:

Drop us a line or two . . .In this episode, Queenie & TT do what midlife women everywhere are doing right now: trying to hold it together when winter, responsibility, and the state of the world are doing the most to break us. There's frigid weather, indoor soccer in inflatable buildings, sports stress, and the honest truth that sometimes the best mental health plan is: go outside once… and then refuse to leave the house again.  They share what they're consuming today (pink lemonade live rosin gummies and a Space Cake pre-roll), talk about the strange “nap trap” that hits after a big breakfast, and discuss why sativa days are sometimes a medical necessity for functioning humans.  Then the episode turns into a surprisingly juicy mix of:why AI tools like Suno are still creative tools (just like nobody grinds their own paint anymore)  the ongoing Canadian citizenship saga (passport renewal + trying to lure family north like it's a Zillow listing with better healthcare)  a big moment of good news: New York's Medical Aid in Dying bill being signed, and why having the option matters  a fresh round of “Was Cannabis Involved or Is This Just Kaka?” featuring: honey wedding favors gone wrong and the DEA embarrassing itself with an emoji “drug decoder” that absolutely deserves public mocking  And the Fuck-It List entry this week is pure midlife enlightenment:

Drop us a line or two . . .Episodes may include original AI-assisted music created by Queenie & TT, alongside licensed intro and outro music.In this episode, Queenie & TT reconnect after a warm-weather escape and a return to brutal winter temperatures, reflecting on travel resets, cold-weather survival, and the strange humor that comes with seasonal whiplash. From snow-covered beaches to hockey games, humming as therapy, and the chaos of ongoing kitchen renovations, this episode captures the everyday rhythm of midlife in motion.Cannabis remains part of the ritual, with the hosts sharing what they're consuming today — from infused fizz drinks to hybrid pre-rolls — and continuing their mission to make adult-use cannabis conversations accessible without needing advice from a 22-year-old budtender.A major personal revelation takes center stage when Queenie discovers she may already be a Canadian citizen thanks to recent citizenship law changes. This sparks a fascinating dive into genealogy, Irish migration history, the Robinson settlement scheme, and how history continues to shape identity today.TT brings cannabis legal news involving driving laws and police search procedures, highlighting a recent court ruling clarifying when marijuana can legally be considered an “open container” and reinforcing the ongoing need for consistent cannabis policy across jurisdictions.Of course, no episode would be complete without:✨ “Was Cannabis Involved or Is This Just KaKa?” — featuring bong-water tasting claims and anti-munchies cannabis myths.

Drop us a line or two . . .

Drop us a line or two . . .In this episode, Queenie & TT lean into the growing midlife realization that the old way of doing things may no longer apply — and that turning it upside down might be exactly what's required.They talk candidly about exhaustion, disruption, and the low-grade burnout that comes from being the default person for everything. From home projects and daily chaos to the emotional weight of hosting, organizing, and maintaining traditions that no longer fit, the conversation reflects what it feels like when the clock keeps moving but your priorities shift.Cannabis weaves through the discussion as both routine and reflection — what they're using, why clarity matters more than excess, and how slowing down can sometimes be forced rather than chosen. TT offers perspective on the uneven global landscape of cannabis legality, travel risks, and why assumptions can still land people in serious trouble.As always, the episode wanders joyfully through word nerdery, cultural references, trivia detours, and another round of “Was Cannabis Involved or Is This Just Kaka?” — because laughter is still essential.The episode lands with this week's Fuck-It List entry:

Drop us a line or two . . .This week, Queenie and TT start with a real-life reset—respiratory crud, low energy, and the glamorous pre-beach ritual of “thinning the forest”—before pivoting into bigger stuff: protests, ICE fear and outrage, and the emotional fatigue of watching people normalize what should never be normal.They share a surprising bright spot (major progress on the kitchen pack-up), introduce a brilliant “legacy gift” idea involving Queenie's iconic ceramic pig heads, and serve up the usual fan-favorite segments: What Have You Consumed Today, The Latest Bud Buzz, Could've Done This If Stoned, and a round of Stoned or Kaka featuring closet “tomatoes” and an all-time classic: calling 911 during a drug deal.The F*** It List this week goes straight for the jugular: f* pretending it's okay to be okay with Trumpers.**Queenie rising from the dead (congestion edition) and the “Week Two of the New Year” moodLocal protest / vigil conversation and the constant churn of “what now?”Pre-beach prep: haircut, packing, and midlife body realityKitchen packing: lazy Susans, expired spices, and letting go of clutterThe “legacy gift”: each kid gets a ceramic pig head next ChristmasAI music + interlude moment: Queenie's pig-collection songAlexa being bold, intrusive, and frankly uninvitedWhat Have You Consumed Today?

They reflect on family gatherings, traditions, grief, nostalgia, and the strange emotional whiplash that follows the holidays—when the house empties, the cookies remain, and memories linger.The Queens check in on what they've consumed, share laughter over matching dog pajamas, holiday indulgences, and the realities of midlife bodies, then move into cannabis news from across the country, highlighting the inconsistencies and absurdities of state laws.The episode features original AI-assisted music, including a Closet Disco Queen Musical Interlude, recurring segments like Did This Happen Stoned or Is It Kaka?, and the first F*** It List entry of the new year: letting go of things you simply cannot control.Thoughtful, funny, and deeply human.Long-Form Show NotesPost-Christmas reflections and easing into the New YearFamily traditions, loss, nostalgia, and honoring loved onesThe quiet after the holidays—and what lingersWhat Queenie & TT consumed todayHoliday indulgence, cookies, chocolate, and giving yourself graceHealth oddities: humming, fart walks, digestion, and ancient wisdomCannabis news: inconsistent laws, decriminalization myths, and state-by-state absurditiesConsumption lounges and what may be coming nextGame: Did This Happen Stoned or Is It Kaka?The F* It List:** Saying f*** it to things you can't controlMidlife boundaries, comparison, comfort, and choosing yourselfClosing reflections on time, priorities, and being proud to still be here Welcome to the Closet Disco Queen Pot-Cast, a #1 ranked Women in Cannabis (Feedspot, Million Pods; 2025) comedy podcast with music and pop culture references that keeps you laughing and engaged.

Drop us a line or two . . .It's the final episode of the year, and Queenie and TT are doing what they do best—making sense of the madness with humor, cannabis, and zero patience for nonsense. This week, the Queens revisit the surprisingly powerful science of humming (yes, humming) as a stress reliever and sinus saver, reflect on collective trauma and gaslighting fatigue, and unpack the latest cannabis news—including federal rescheduling and Supreme Court silence.They play another round of Did This Happen Stoned or Is It Kaka? (Indonesia delivers), add a brutally honest new rule to the F*** It List—stop pretending to like people you don't—and close out the year with laughter, grief, gratitude, and real talk about boundaries, aging, and surviving whatever comes next.

Drop us a line or two . . .In this episode, Queenie & TT settle in from the cold and let the conversation wander where midlife brains naturally go: time, exhaustion, politics, cannabis confusion, words we love (and loathe), and finally… letting shit go.They talk about winter resentment, being trapped indoors, and the creeping sense that everything feels heavier lately — especially as the political landscape grows more chaotic, cruel, and intentionally overwhelming. From the constant barrage of disturbing headlines to the feeling that the system is designed to exhaust and numb us, Queenie & TT name what so many people are quietly feeling: this isn't just politics — it's a human gut punch.On the cannabis front, TT tries to make sense of wildly conflicting news coming out of Washington — hemp bans, rescheduling rumors, Supreme Court decisions, harsher prosecutions in non-legal states, and the desperate need for actual research instead of fear-based nonsense. Meanwhile, both hosts share what they've consumed, because consistency matters.Things lighten up with word nerdery, pronunciation aversions, favorite mouth-feel words (intergalactic makes a return), and another round of “Did This Really Happen, Or Is It Just Kaka?” featuring sheep who got into medical cannabis, alleged time travel via military time, and some truly impressive mental gymnastics.The episode lands exactly where midlife wisdom lives:This week's Fuck-It List entry — Christmas cards… and apologizing for not doing everything.No more guilt. No more over-explaining. No one is harmed if a card doesn't arrive. The clock keeps turning, expectations need adjusting, and choosing peace is not a moral failure.Warm, funny, rambling in the best way, and quietly profound — this is midlife in real time.The Closet Disco Queen Pot-Cast is produced by Humble Pond Productions, LLC.

Drop us a line or two . . .Queenie & TT jump on the mic to talk through the announcement that President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order initiating the move to reclassify cannabis from a Schedule I drug to Schedule III — meaning marijuana would no longer be federally categorized alongside heroin and fentanyl.  They unpack what this does and does not mean right now, including the required 30-day public comment period, the likelihood of legal challenges, and why this is not an automatic or guaranteed rescheduling. TT explains the potential implications for cannabis research, federal oversight, banking access for cannabis businesses, and why stock exchange listings are still off the table.  The conversation also covers early reporting about a pilot Medicare reimbursement program for CBD, why this could be a meaningful foothold for older adults, and how rescheduling could finally allow for more legitimate, large-scale scientific research instead of fear-based assumptions.  Queenie and TT talk candidly about political motivations, expected pushback from the DEA and FDA, the ongoing uncertainty around hemp-derived THC restrictions, and the possible global ripple effects of a change in U.S. drug policy.  Recorded within hours of the announcement, this episode captures a real-time reaction to a major moment in cannabis policy — with cautious optimism, skepticism, and the clear understanding that we're officially entering a new phase of the conversation.The Closet Disco Queen Pot-Cast is produced by Humble Pond Productions, LLC.

Meanwhile, Queenie and TT compare edibles, discuss their latest consumption, and marvel at how rarely NYC seemed to smell like weed this year.  Then it's everyone's favorite segment:Could They, Should They, Might They Have Been Stoned – or Is It Just Kaka?From elevator mishaps to a 911 call gone spectacularly wrong, TT once again proves her stoner-detection skills are razor sharp.  Finally, this week's Fuck-It List entry lands with midlife authority:
