Join our hosts, Queenie & TT as they share humorous anecdotes about daily life, offering women’s perspectives on lifestyle and wellness. TT casually drops that her breakfast friends are considering purchasing firearms because they’re worried America is heading toward Mad Max territory. Queenie’s jaw hits the floor. A real, surprisingly tender conversation follows about fear, scarcity mentality, whether humanity trends toward cooperation or self-preservation, the American Revolution as a civil war, the London Blitz, Sophie’s Choice, and — somehow — whether dogs get a better afterlife than people (they clearly do, and TT would prefer to go where the dogs go).
S5, E2: They Smilin’ in Your Face
Queenie and TT are deep in spring mode — bonsai-ing trees, battling fence encroachers, and sending love to their inexplicably large fanbase in Hungary. They break down the latest cannabis rescheduling news, play a round of “Would You Rather,” and stumble into a genuinely beautiful conversation about legacy, grief, and what people will say about you when you’re gone. Plus: infused honey, a pre-roll named Gas Leak, American flag politics, and a musical toast to Budapest.
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.
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, E49: I Need Some Hot Stuff
This week on Closet Disco Queen, Queenie and TT kick things off with wildlife chaos (mice, rabbits, and an unexpected “buck rub” situation) before diving into a conversation that takes a sharp and meaningful turn into midlife health, hormones, and letting go.
Because at this stage of life, everything is on the table.
TT shares a long-awaited gynecologist visit and her decision to explore a newer estrogen therapy designed to stimulate the body’s own hormone production — without systemic side effects. The conversation is candid, honest, and exactly the kind of real talk women don’t get nearly enough of.
Naturally, this leads to:
👉 the cost of women’s healthcare (why is it always so expensive?)
👉 the ongoing absurdity of comparing it to Viagra commercials
👉 and why women are done being quiet about what their bodies actually need
Meanwhile, the queens continue their mission to normalize cannabis as part of midlife wellness — whether it’s easing anxiety, improving sleep, or just making the day a little more manageable.
Also in this episode:
-Mice invasions, mystery smells, and domestic battlefield cleanup
-Rabbits, mating rituals (maybe?), and backyard wildlife drama
-The surprising science behind “buck rubs”
-Cannabis consumption check-in: pre-rolls, syrups, and old favorites
-“Was it cannabis or caca with a K?” featuring Home Depot adventures and a very stoned bear
-Price drops in Massachusetts cannabis (and what legalization ripple effects look like)
And this week’s Fuck-It List goes deeper than usual:
🔥 Letting go of perfection
🔥 Letting go of control
🔥 Letting go of the belief that you can fix everything for everyone
Because maybe midlife isn’t about tightening your grip —maybe it’s about finally loosening it.
So grab your gummies, your lube (yes, seriously), and settle in.
Because this episode is about real life, real bodies, and real freedom.
S4, E48: Oh, Very Young
This week on Closet Disco Queen, Queenie and TT kick things off with March Madness wins (and losses), mystery stash chocolate, and the joy of a perfectly sized “dog walker” pre-roll — because sometimes all you need is a quick buzz and a short walk.
But things quickly take a turn into the kind of conversation only midlife cannabis queens can have:
👉 When exactly did we become the “old people” in the room?
👉 And why does nobody feel as old as they apparently look?
From nostalgic deep dives into Johnny Carson and old-school Hollywood to the shocking realization that the “old guy” in a book is now… our age, this episode is full of those quiet (and not-so-quiet) midlife reality checks.
In cannabis news, TT brings a story that actually matters: how cannabis may be helping reshape the menopause conversation. With growing anecdotal evidence and emerging research, the queens explore how the endocannabinoid system may play a role in managing symptoms like anxiety, sleep disruption, pain, and brain fog — all the fun stuff no one warned us about.
Also in this episode:
• Cannabis-infused mystery chocolate (living dangerously)
• The return of classic TV and why we know so many random famous people
• The difference between feeling “cotton-headed” from menopause vs cannabis
• “Was it cannabis or caca with a K?” — including LinkedIn chaos and accidental CBD coffee incidents
• Product testing from Tanya’s line (including a very enthusiastic lube review 👀)
And this week’s Fuck-It List entry hits close to home:
🔥 Your house is not a museum. You live there.
Clutter happens. Life happens. And maybe… tidiness is a scam.
The queens also look ahead as TT prepares to talk to her doctor about hormone replacement therapy — because curiosity doesn’t stop in midlife, it just gets more intentional.
So grab a gummy, kick off your platform shoes, and settle in.
Because if we’re going to get older… we might as well laugh about it.
S4, E47: Honey, Don’t Conceal It
This week on Closet Disco Queen, Queenie and TT start the morning with birthdays, kitchen renovations, and the promise of spring before diving into one of life’s most pressing questions:
Why do humans have permanent boobs?
A fascinating (and slightly hilarious) evolutionary theory suggests breasts may have evolved to keep newborn babies warm. Who knew the girls might actually be built-in heating systems?
Meanwhile, TT reports from a very relaxing visit with her sisters where a mysterious batch of cannabis-infused honey makes an appearance — delivering the kind of mellow high that keeps on giving.
In cannabis news, a troop of entrepreneurial Girl Scouts in New Jersey discovered the most strategic cookie-selling location imaginable: outside a cannabis dispensary. Record cookie sales followed.
As always, the queens remind us that midlife curiosity, laughter, and a little cannabis wisdom can make the world feel just a little brighter.
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.
