S5, E6: 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.

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, E39: Get Up, Stand Up

This week, Queenie and TT start with a real-life reset—respiratory crud, low energy, and the glamorous pre-beach ritual of “thinning the forest”—before pivoting into bigger stuff: protests, ICE fear and outrage, and the emotional fatigue of watching people normalize what should never be normal.

They share a surprising bright spot (major progress on the kitchen pack-up), introduce a brilliant “legacy gift” idea involving Queenie’s iconic ceramic pig heads, and serve up the usual fan-favorite segments: What Have You Consumed TodayThe Latest Bud BuzzCould’ve Done This If Stoned, and a round of Stoned or Kaka featuring closet “tomatoes” and an all-time classic: calling 911 during a drug deal.

The F*** It List this week goes straight for the jugular: f* pretending it’s okay to be okay with Trumpers.**

S3, E42: I Always Feel Like Somebody’s Watching Me

In this episode of the Closet Disco Queen Podcast, Queenie and TT engage in light-hearted conversation about their lives, cannabis culture, and the political landscape surrounding cannabis legislation. They share personal anecdotes, play a fun game about cannabis strains, and offer advice for those who may have overindulged. The episode is filled with humor, reflections on past experiences, and a sense of community among midlife cannabis enthusiasts.

S3, E38: Ease On Down the Road

In this episode of the Closet Disco Queen podcast, Queenie and TT engage in a humorously light conversation about cannabis, the movie Wicked, and reflections on life. They discuss their New Year’s celebrations, the impact of pets in their lives, and the evolving cannabis industry in New York. The episode also features a fun game segment where they guess whether a term is a cannabis strain or a figment of Queenie’s imagination, along with humorous anecdotes about overindulging in edibles. The conversation wraps up with a reflection on genealogy and historical insights.

S3, E37: Zero Hour, Nine AM

Queenie and TT’s Closet Disco Queen Potcast brings in the New Year with lots of highjinks and laughs.
