Queenie 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.

S5, E11: March of the Misremembered
Queenie and TT celebrate summer’s arrival with TT’s chaotic pickleball debut, a mortifying “it’s an Indian name” moment, and a brand-new segment — Wait What? — launching with the news that a real mushroom causes consistent hallucinations of tiny mischievous people. They also debate when vs. how they’d want to know they’re dying, TT fucket-lists her own inner critic, and the episode closes out on a candid, conflicted Fourth of July reckoning. Light in places, heavy in others, and honest throughout.
S5, E10: Nobody Does It Better
Join Queenie and TT as they share their latest adventures, thoughts on current events, and humorous takes on life as seasoned queens. This episode covers everything from local events to global sports, with plenty of laughs and insights. And be sure to stay tuned for their newest podcast adventure–Pleasantly Confused!
S5, E9: Cha-cha-cha-changes
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.
S5, E8: I Know It Sounds Absurd
Queenie went down a YouTube rabbit hole after watching Conan interview 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. This leads to a bit about guidance counselors not recommending “talking about dicks all day” as a career path. Queenie’s advice: measure twice, cut once. You only want to make that mistake one time. They are crying laughing.
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.
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 not allowing your problems to be 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.
S5, E7: Just to Boogie with You
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.
S5, E5: Just Get Yourself Together
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.
S5, E1: Just Enough To Show You Care
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.
S4, E52: We’ve Got the Groove
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.
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.
S4, E51: Heinz 57 and French Fried Potatoes
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.
