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, 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.
S4, E50: Best Hits Playlist
Well, queens. It has been a week.Our recorded episode went up in smoke — and not the good kind. Riverside closed the session before the upload completed, TT is currently on a beach in Cancun living her best life, and Queenie is here alone with a folder of original songs and a will to survive.So we’re doing something we’ve never done before: a full CDQ Best Hits Playlist episode. Eleven original tracks, all cannabis-themed, all made right here at Humble Pond Productions using AI music generation. Some of them are anthems. Some of them are absurd. One of them is Gregorian chant about a sploof, and we regret nothing.
This week’s tracklist:
- We Didn’t Spark the Fire
- Let the Light In (Cannabis Anthem)
- No Wanna Your Guana
- Big Ass Sack
- Low and Slow
- Jazz Cigarettes
- Sploof & Spoof
- Your Mama’s Got a New Groove
- Don’t Be Alarmed
- Best Buds (With My Budtender)
- Yummy, Yummy Gummy
Genres represented this episode include: EDM, full gospel choir, blues shuffle, tropical funk, jazz lounge, big band, Gregorian chant, doo-wop, Afrobeat-Caribbean fusion, and electro swing cabaret.
S4, E 46: Give Me Down to There
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.
S4, E45: Let’s Get Into Animal
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.
S 4, E 42: Turn and Face the Strain
Time is truly wastin’ — and midlife has a way of making that reality impossible to ignore.
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.
🔥 The Fuck-It List — this week’s entry: saying goodbye to hair dye and embracing gray hair as both liberation and rebellion against outdated beauty expectations.
Funny, thoughtful, nostalgic, and quietly radical, this episode is about aging honestly, letting go of unnecessary expectations, and remembering that there’s no guarantee — so you might as well live authentically now.
S4, E40: Turn it Upside Down
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.
