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.

S4, E34: Unfiltered Midlife Moments & Cannabis Wisdom | You’re a Native New Yorker

In this festive, snarky, holly-jolly episode, Queenie & TT recap Queenie’s whirlwind NYC adventure with 11 family members—complete with wooden escalators at Macy’s, Midtown crowds, a surprisingly safe and clean Rockefeller Center, LED pedicabs dressed like disco elves, and a Greek diner miracle where eight people were seated together during the holidays.  

The conversation shifts to the cannabis world, where TT brings the latest on the politicians quietly sneaking a hemp-derived THC ban into a federal budget bill, the alliances forming in response, and the crucial December 19th Supreme Court decision that could reshape the industry. 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:

🔥 Saying NO — without a three-minute apology, explanation, or performance of guilt.

Inspired by an uncomfortable-but-brilliant Andy Richter moment, Queenie & TT unpack the power of reclaiming time, boundaries, and dignity. No justifications. No softening. Just “No.” Period.  

They wrap with holiday decorating, stockings, traditions with grandkids, and the comforting glow of feeling at home for Christmas for the first time in years.

Funny, warm, chaotic, cannabis-infused, and unmistakably midlife.

S4, E30: Good Vibrations

Snow in November, live rosin gummies, and midlife meltdowns—Queenie and TT are back with another hilarious, heartfelt ride through the weirdness of womanhood. In this episode, they explore the surprising science of humming as a stress-buster (yes, really—it’s vagus nerve magic), share dinner-table family confessions, and tackle the hemp “loophole” myth. TT’s gummy kicks in mid-story, Queenie’s F** It List* adds “stop bringing healthy food to potlucks,” and somehow they end up talking about dog pajamas. Equal parts chaos, comedy, and comfort—exactly what your nervous system ordered.
