S5, E1: Just Enough To Show You Care

Posted on by

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.

This week on Closet Disco Queen, Queenie and TT connect across borders as TT records from sunny Mexico (where cannabis is still surprisingly illegal) while Queenie holds down the damp, chilly Northeast.

From sunscreen breakthroughs to beachside tequila compromises, the episode kicks off with vacation vibes before diving into everything from cannabis science to politics, relationships, and midlife confidence.

S4, E48: Oh, Very Young

Posted on by

This week on Closet Disco Queen, Queenie and TT kick things off with March Madness wins (and losses), mystery stash chocolate, and the joy of a perfectly sized “dog walker” pre-roll — because sometimes all you need is a quick buzz and a short walk.

But things quickly take a turn into the kind of conversation only midlife cannabis queens can have:

👉 When exactly did we become the “old people” in the room?
👉 And why does nobody feel as old as they apparently look?

From nostalgic deep dives into Johnny Carson and old-school Hollywood to the shocking realization that the “old guy” in a book is now… our age, this episode is full of those quiet (and not-so-quiet) midlife reality checks.

In cannabis news, TT brings a story that actually matters: how cannabis may be helping reshape the menopause conversation. With growing anecdotal evidence and emerging research, the queens explore how the endocannabinoid system may play a role in managing symptoms like anxiety, sleep disruption, pain, and brain fog — all the fun stuff no one warned us about.

Also in this episode:

• Cannabis-infused mystery chocolate (living dangerously)
• The return of classic TV and why we know so many random famous people
• The difference between feeling “cotton-headed” from menopause vs cannabis
• “Was it cannabis or caca with a K?” — including LinkedIn chaos and accidental CBD coffee incidents
• Product testing from Tanya’s line (including a very enthusiastic lube review 👀)

And this week’s Fuck-It List entry hits close to home:

🔥 Your house is not a museum. You live there.
Clutter happens. Life happens. And maybe… tidiness is a scam.

The queens also look ahead as TT prepares to talk to her doctor about hormone replacement therapy — because curiosity doesn’t stop in midlife, it just gets more intentional.

So grab a gummy, kick off your platform shoes, and settle in.

Because if we’re going to get older… we might as well laugh about it.

S4, E43: Pick Up the Pieces

Posted on by

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:

🔥 Fuck it to doing the things you hate — hire it out, trade skills, barter, or push the easy button. Instacart, dinner decisions, house cleaning, tech setups… if it drains your soul and you can offload it, do it.  

Plus: Queenie drops a genuine gem for caregivers — a device called JubileeTV, which lets her manage her mom’s TV from her phone, set medication reminders that get louder until acknowledged, and even do two-way video calls on the TV. It’s practical, impressive, and the kind of tool that can reduce caregiver stress in a very real way.

Bottom line: this episode is about picking up the pieces—not by grinding harder, but by getting smarter, getting help, and refusing to waste your limited time on things you hate.

S4, E40: Turn it Upside Down

Posted on by

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.

If it doesn’t bring joy, peace, or meaning anymore, it’s allowed to change. Turn it upside down. Reassign the rules. Keep what works. Drop the rest.

This episode is permission, perspective, and a reminder that midlife isn’t about holding everything together — it’s about deciding what’s worth holding onto.

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.

S4, E38: Why Don’t You Try, Try

Posted on by

In this episode, Queenie and TT ring in the new year with their signature blend of humor, candor, and side-eye, starting with global political shockwaves and landing squarely in the realities of midlife bodies, boundaries, and burnout.

They talk cannabis consumption, Massachusetts moving forward with social-consumption licenses, the rapid saturation of dispensaries, and what it means when access finally becomes… ordinary. Along the way, they debut original AI-assisted music, play a round of Did This Happen Stoned or Is It Kaka? (featuring hemp-filled urinals and allegedly high chickens), and add a crucial entry to the F*** It List: being available 24/7.

Equal parts funny, unnerving, and grounding, this episode is about paying attention, setting limits, and maybe—just maybe—trying something different.
