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, 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.
S4, E37: So Proud to Live
In this post-holiday episode, Queenie and TT ease their way out of Christmas and toward the New Year with warmth, humor, and perspective. 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.
S2, E42: Back to the Future
Join Queenie and TT as they imbibe in laughter, wonderment, and of course, the product of their everlasting delight. The news from the wide world of sports is surprisingly encouraging. Who would YOU choose, given the opportunity to walk in someone else’s shoes?
S2, E2: High on A.I. and Maybe Lemon Haze Craze
Are you tired of struggling to learn a new language? Well, Queenie and Tee Tee have got you covered with their latest language learning machine that uses self-learning technology! But don’t worry, they promise it won’t take over the world. In their latest episode, our midlife gals discuss the benefits of this new technology, while also sharing their weekly game of guessing the name of a strain (Lemon Haze Craze, anyone?).
