Laughing Through Midlife with Cannabis, Chaos & Courage | The Clock Keeps Turning

In this episode, Queenie & TT settle in from the cold and let the conversation wander where midlife brains naturally go: time, exhaustion, politics, cannabis confusion, words we love (and loathe), and finally… letting shit go.

They talk about winter resentment, being trapped indoors, and the creeping sense that everything feels heavier lately — especially as the political landscape grows more chaotic, cruel, and intentionally overwhelming. From the constant barrage of disturbing headlines to the feeling that the system is designed to exhaust and numb us, Queenie & TT name what so many people are quietly feeling: this isn’t just politics — it’s a human gut punch.

On the cannabis front, TT tries to make sense of wildly conflicting news coming out of Washington — hemp bans, rescheduling rumors, Supreme Court decisions, harsher prosecutions in non-legal states, and the desperate need for actual research instead of fear-based nonsense. Meanwhile, both hosts share what they’ve consumed, because consistency matters.

Things lighten up with word nerdery, pronunciation aversions, favorite mouth-feel words (intergalactic makes a return), and another round of “Did This Really Happen, Or Is It Just Kaka?” featuring sheep who got into medical cannabis, alleged time travel via military time, and some truly impressive mental gymnastics.

The episode lands exactly where midlife wisdom lives:

This week’s Fuck-It List entry — Christmas cards… and apologizing for not doing everything.

No more guilt. No more over-explaining. No one is harmed if a card doesn’t arrive. The clock keeps turning, expectations need adjusting, and choosing peace is not a moral failure.

Warm, funny, rambling in the best way, and quietly profound — this is midlife in real time.

Speaker 1 (00:03.202)

So kick off your platform shoes, sit back and get ready to laugh and learn all about adult use cannabis without having to ask a 22 year old. Let's get rolling.

Speaker 2 (00:33.038)
Hello TT.

Hello, Queenie. How be's you? I'm glad you were struck.

I am much better, thank you.

I was struck, struck down, struck down with an upper respiratory infection, but I feel like a human. I've had two, two days of, two nights of sleep without waking up, unable to breathe and.

sound much, better.

Speaker 1 (00:56.488)
that's a terrible feeling. Yes.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,

I'm good. I'm good. I'm trying to think. It's very cold here. It's going down to like nine below tonight or something. Oh. I just I haven't stepped out of the house. I am going out today.

jeez.

Speaker 2 (01:17.239)
boy, you're doing your one thing today?

Yes, we're going to meet some friends for lunch, lunch. But yeah, and then I don't intend to leave this. no, I'm going to visit. I'm going to visit my friend Rudy tomorrow. I am going to be there. But I go from the only time I have to be outside is walking into his house because I go from my garage right to his house. I can park right outside. So I'm only out in the cold for about.

I'm gonna have to the house again.

Speaker 2 (01:42.958)
A moment, I know. my god, I hate it. I, you know, and it never really bothered, it bothered me, but not this year. I'm getting resentful. I really am getting like, this is, this is crap. It's just. I know I've.

I mean...

Speaker 1 (02:00.118)
I'm like, do we live here? I see classmates and whatever, people in Florida. Yeah, we'll be each up. it's like, that's the smart thing to do. Except it's Florida.

Burb-age.

Speaker 2 (02:13.631)
Talented.

Speaker 2 (02:17.834)
Our Closet Disco Queen podcast deals with legal adult cannabis use and is intended for entertainment purposes only for those 21 and older.

Speaker 2 (02:29.646)
with though I don't you know I hesitate to get really political but I the last couple weeks I've just you know as things have deteriorated daily and so has his mental condition if that was possible visibly his physical and mental stamina is non existent right why are we all just watching this happen.

just acting like nothing's going on, I know.

I think he's beaten us all into just being exhausted. And there's flooding with blood.

This is the... This playbook. This is... It's according to the playbook,

flood the system with bullshit and he's he just for the the mint for the 250th anniversary of the country just eliminated the coins that were going to be minted recognizing abolition and suffragettes and he is going to appear on a quarter. Oh yeah. Maybe it's even at a quarter. I think it's to be a silver dollar who knows but for the 250th birthday which is

Speaker 1 (03:28.839)
hadn't heard that.

Speaker 2 (03:37.486)
Contrary to everything that occurs in this country, living people aren't on our currency. No, no, no. Or postage stamps or no, no, this is not a monarchy. every day something seemingly little happens, but it's he's setting the framework for us to just be.

No, no, no.

Speaker 1 (03:48.28)
So.

Speaker 1 (03:58.734)
We're dissolving.

you know, automatons.

Yeah, yeah, we're dissolving as a country. And what happens is our systems get overloaded. And so we are just like, la, la, la, la, la. what to do? Well, yeah, because it's one thing one day, another thing the next day. There's no.

you don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:19.394)
That's the idea, flood the zone with shit. so you don't know what to do.

It's I know I you started this conversation saying I don't want to be political, but it's beyond being political. It is not right. Or is that a matter of politics? Not a matter exactly.

It's human right. Just what it's good versus evil. I'm sorry. It's that is it's that basic. When you see a photograph, the Senate or the House, the House released a whole bunch more Epstein photos yesterday. You see a photograph of the sitting president at one point had condoms with his name and feature on the wrapper.

It is.

Speaker 1 (04:58.624)
Extra large.

or I'm huge, that's what it said, I'm huge, okay? Why is this not automatically like, get the fuck out? But it's every day, there's several times a day we're seeing these horrendous, hearing these horrendous things, being subjected to horrendous things. Oh, did you see that?

Right.

Speaker 1 (05:22.03)
Did you see that picture of the dentist chair? Wasn't that the creepiest thing you've ever seen?

With those masks.

Speaker 2 (05:32.768)
I'm sure there's much more, creepier things. were pictures of sex toys that were released yesterday too. yeah. Ball gags, bondage, devices. So yeah, it's that we're asking questions and wondering what I, don't, it just boggles the mind.

no.

Speaker 1 (05:46.88)
young girls, 15 year old girls.

Speaker 2 (06:01.464)
The cruelty, the intentional cruelty, they're going after that, a brego again. The court said, let them go, let them go. Do not, do not try. They can't let it go. They keep trying to re-arrest this guy. What the hell? Tried to re-indicate Letitia James twice in one week.

Hell, I-

Speaker 1 (06:20.29)
Yep. Yep. Thank god the courts are holding me. I mean... up. Right.

People, wake up! Are these, we really, the fact that maybe, maybe not, Letitia James might have checked a box on her fucking mortgage the wrong way, we're gonna spend millions of dollars trying to prosecute this woman?

because we have a vendetta against her.

much more serious problems in this country. We've people going hungry, people without healthcare.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (06:47.758)
So when is this country gonna wake up? When are we gonna just say no no no you work for us Congress you work for us we are the boss you don't tell us what to do

Right. Well, that's the norms have shifted. There are no, we have allowed it. We have, and it started 40 years ago and this is part of a plan. sound like, I sound like as conspiracy theorists, but it has been a plan.

Absolutely, but we've allowed it.

Speaker 2 (07:19.436)
and women have got to wake up.

Morning started my routine coffee's nice but nicer with some good old green gummy bears dancing brownies in a tray my buttenders asking what you had today what have you consumed today a cookie a gummy or a potent j did you basically dab it or roll your own way tell me what cannabis you consumed today

Speaker 1 (08:01.016)
You drinking your blue goo?

Yeah, I was just drinking my blue. I don't have anything in it. No, I'm gonna. What have you consumed, TT?

you don't.

Speaker 1 (08:11.95)
I had a lovely little five milligrams of Flora Califarum's Sativa pink lemonade gummies. And I need a little Sativa because I have trouble sometimes at night. I wake up, I got the night sweats still, got the... And then I can't get back to sleep. And so I was like, I'm gonna need a little Sativa today.

little support my energy level

Exactly. How about you? What are you gonna like?

As we're speaking, am preparing my device. I'm not going to use that word.

Are you- is it the rolling thing? No, no, The cone filler? No. Whatever it is? No. the P-I-P-E. You don't even like it spelled- What is with that word in you? Do you have any idea?

Speaker 2 (08:54.72)
word I don't like.

Speaker 2 (09:00.654)
No.

I don't know, just don't like it. I thought you were with me on that,

It's it's I just I don't have quite as as strong an aversion to it as you do I can say the word I told

Do you have a word like that? Like some people don't like phlegm.

Well, that's kind of like, how about smegma? My sister sent me a picture the other day of a, it looked like a, I don't know, some sort of a coffee pot type thing she saw in a store. And it was the, the labeling is S-M-E-G. Smegma. Did you drink out of anything?

Speaker 2 (09:24.961)
or moist.

Speaker 2 (09:36.246)
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:44.342)
smeg. No, that would not be inviting at all. It started with if the word started with smeg, anything. I don't care if it's sugar coated.

just don't know. Maybe it's from a different country and they don't know what that means here. But I just thought that's not good.

Caramel covered no, it's Meg is not going your might no No, smeg. No ghost. No done with smeg. Yeah

I don't know how we got on smeg, anyway, words, words we don't like. I words that I enjoy saying, some of them. I like to say intergalactic. It kind of sticks a little bit in your throat. Intergalactic. Fun?

Words we don't

Speaker 2 (10:18.34)
Intergalactic?

Speaker 2 (10:27.392)
Intergalactic. Yes, I, yes, yes, it's a blast. It's a hoot.

is how I have fun.

to say it yourself in your head.

words. Is it as? No, not at all. Yeah, because you got to feel that little thing there. Collect.

Is it as fulfilling? No. You have to say it.

Speaker 2 (10:52.046)
Yeah, that's don't know what that is it like Castellano you like that kind of Mouth feel you need something going on there

It's just certain words do it for me. Okay, you know, I'm a word nerd. So it's not totally surprising but That's one of them. Yeah, I kind of like epiglottis too. There's the well

intergalactic.

Speaker 2 (11:13.536)
you're you're kind of referring to your epiglottis. Yeah, when you're Yeah. I'm sure speech therapists could identify what the little diphthong or whatever it is. Yeah, that's appealing to you. Glottals Yeah. No, I don't have a favorite word. No. A word that I enjoy saying.

saying the word epiglottis,

Speaker 1 (11:27.662)
with gluttos.

Speaker 1 (11:34.734)
I know, word. Yeah, a word that when it comes out of your mouth, you go, oh, I don't know. I know you have aversion to saying some words. Yeah. You haven't gone the other way. I haven't really given that thought. You haven't had the pleasure of the positive side of things.

No? Honestly, I can't.

yeah. But I haven't gone the other way.

Right.

Speaker 2 (11:59.63)
No, no

Yeah, I know, I know. If I were to say the word... Light rain! The other word for light rain, you'd freak out. Yes, you hate that word. Don't mean drizzle? Oh, I thought you drizzle. Oh, okay.

Just focusing on.

Speaker 2 (12:09.678)
Drizzle? I don't mind drizzle. Drizzle doesn't bother me. Drizzle's cool. don't like, you

I know that the one way that you're smoking right now. Right. Like that word. I thought drizzle.

I do not. do not. But any on smoking, you mentioned it. I'm once again partaking in left coast blueberry Razz. Blueberry Razz and it also is a sativa. Good for us run the same wavelength. So yes, I'm, I'm, I'm smoking some of this lovely. It's pre ground. Nice. Yes. Blueberry Razz.

blueberry

Speaker 1 (12:42.136)
for us.

Speaker 1 (12:54.77)
As.

Speaker 1 (13:04.206)
BT tell me the news where is it legal no one knows

Speaker 1 (13:15.182)
you

Speaker 2 (13:45.614)
TT, do you have a story for us this week?

I have to say, I was looking for a good story and I found some good stories, but they're completely, the news coming out of Washington is just so unreliable. one hand, we have this ban on hemp, right? That we've been talking about. just yesterday, there was this big news coming out of the White House that Trump's going to sign an executive order rescheduling cannabis from schedule.

Yesterday, yes.

Speaker 2 (14:17.325)
what I heard.

heard being a schedule one drug to schedule three, which would not legalize it, but it would make it much easier to do the business cannabis business. know, yeah, research bank, all that stuff. So anyway, I'm not, you know, it's kind of like this and that. And then I was reading a

Research banking.

Speaker 2 (14:37.582)
It goes with everything else with this administration. makes no sense.

Yeah, I was reading a story that states that don't have legal cannabis, medical or recreational, are much harder on people who get arrested. So they are throwing the book at these people who have marijuana convictions. Meanwhile, people are dying from fentanyl and heroin. Opioids. Yeah, yeah.

And, you know, we're bombing the boats from Venezuela, but we're, you know, it's like, there's no consistency in anything. There's a woman who, a senator who has put forward legislation that would nullify.

the hemp restrictions that were just voted in. there's that, but then there's also this other side of like more prosecutions for some states. So, you know, it's like, I'm not quite sure where we are. And then we're waiting to hear about the Supreme Court too, whether they'll hear the case that was put before them. They're making their decisions about, are gonna hear.

They are, I just read this morning, they are gonna hear the case about, or deliberate on the case about whether or not if you're born in the US, you can be deported.

Speaker 2 (16:08.93)
Yeah. You mean, Constitu- Right. right, first right citizenship. Yeah. Well then if they get rid of that, then say goodbye to Melania and her children. Yeah. Bye. Bye.

Yeah, that counts.

Speaker 1 (16:24.238)
I bet that she wouldn't mind that. I know I wouldn't. now, what did I see? Another lawsuit against the federal government for tearing down half of the White House.

Yes, there was a preservation league or something that national.

Historical Society Preservation League. or whatever. Yeah.

Thank God someone finally, what was that? It's been two months. He's been gone.

It's raised. mean, it's like gone, but...

Speaker 2 (16:55.592)
Along with some historic trees that were planted to memorialize different presidents and first ladies. They'd been over sentrial. Yeah, all that stuff. Yeah. He did that in New York city too. He destroyed a few landmarks. it did not follow the proper. Yeah. He just went ahead and did it because he didn't want to wait. And he knew they wouldn't give. New York hates him. Hates him. So, well, all right. Well, I guess it'll be an interesting week.

in New York.

Speaker 2 (17:25.292)
Yeah, to see what what happens with I guess the cannabis industry has been lobbying pretty hard. So we'll see it. I wouldn't be surprised if he signed it. I know. It's just

Cause but how does that, what does that do with this, this hemp legislation? Does that have an effect on it? Does it? I don't know. don't think it does. Moving it from schedule one to schedule three makes it less, uh, the criminal penalties will be less, but it doesn't impact whether or not you can harvest and produce stuff. So I don't, I don't know. I don't know. We'll see. It's all unfolding.

Right, because it won't be considered.

Speaker 2 (18:08.332)
Yes, yes, as we speak.

So I'm sorry I didn't have like a good solid story for you, but it's just hard to know what is a solid story these days.

Well, I think something tells me that you may have a good solid story for us next week because he's floating this idea and it's another distraction, you know, from the Epstein stuff. I would expect there's going to be something probably big floated out this week, something different, something whatever.

Probably like I said very little impact on access and all that other stuff, but at least it will help the businesses.

and also help interstate trade.

Speaker 1 (18:47.398)
And, and okay, the other big one is research because we really need that. We need to have some more research about this. We want to know what's going on. Right. You you've got the, the, people who think it's still think it's the devil's weed. And then you've got people who are like, cures everything, you know, so we need, we need to know what's going on here.

You do indeed. Indeed.

We need empirical evidence, not just anecdotal. I do, do.

That's what you say. Titi, are you ready to play? Shoulda, coulda, woulda, kind of, maybe was, because it wasn't, maybe not. Don't. Or not. Or kaka. So interesting to see how Mary Jane spelled kaka. With K's.

are ready to play.

Speaker 1 (19:35.798)
saw that. I know I was, I almost, I almost changed it, but I was like, no, I kind of like the caves.

I the K Kaka. It's different.

I always thought of it as a C.

Me too. See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See? See?

Tennessee tuxedo Tennessee tuxedo

Speaker 2 (20:17.88)
Did this really happen? Were these people under the influence? Was the cannabis related? Was it a true thing? Or did someone just make it up to sound like it could have happened? And again, Titi's been running pretty much 50-50. Pretty much, pretty much so. Seven, six, seven. Seven, six, seven. Okay, so the first one, a flock of sheep.

Pretty much. We'll see. We'll see. Six-seven. Six-seven. Six-seven.

Speaker 2 (20:45.984)
invaded a medical cannabis greenhouse during a particularly fierce storm which flooded the area. So these sheep ate over 600 pounds of cannabis. The owner said they were jumping higher than goats, which never happens. Did this actually occur? We have some sheep jumping around, hopping around like goats because they ate 600 pounds of cannabis.

I think this is made up. I don't believe it's true. Just curious. Well, because we read about the mice and the mice would have fallen asleep or exploded or something. don't know. And I'm thinking for, that's a lot, that was a lot of cannabis for sheep to eat.

So they probably would have been passed out, I would think, depending on, well, maybe if was sativa, they were jumping. I guess it depends on if it was sativa or indica. If it was an indica, they may have gone to sleep. If it was sativa, they may have been jumping. I I think about it that way. Hmm. I do, I think it's made up though. doesn't sound right to me.

TT says this is not sound right to me. Well, believe it or not, this actually happened in Wales. No, not Wales. I'm sorry. Strike that Greece in 2023. They invaded a medical cannabis greenhouse during storm Daniel.

Whales are g-

Speaker 1 (22:05.464)
Breeze,

Speaker 1 (22:15.214)
They use the word invaded. I think about them going in with their weapons.

invaded

Speaker 2 (22:22.478)
Line up. up. Here's what we're going to do. Now see, I would have thought this, I would have thought, I don't think the sheep are physically able to leap like goats, I guess when we have enough weed, can do everything. And you know, when you count sheep, they're jumping.

With enough weed?

Speaker 1 (22:37.998)
That's true. They're jumping over a little bit.

They're jumping over the moon. Moon? the fence or a moon. A little fence. The cow jumps over the moon. there you go. Would you ever think of cow jumping? No, I guess a little weed you could. Well mice flight run up the clock, but what's that got to do with a cow?

the-

Speaker 1 (22:57.474)
Well, and the dish isn't gonna run away with the spoon either in real life.

It's a cute little understand that, but are you mixing rhymes now? No.

Hated a little, the cat in the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon. The little dog laughed to see such sport, and the dish ran away with the spoon. I know my nursery rhyme.

They took off. They absconded. They left the scene. You think the dish and the spoon had something going on? I do. Well, that could be. So, well, your Greek sheep. Gotcha.

I think they were loping.

Speaker 1 (23:33.016)
That got me. I didn't get- Man! Greek. Greek apparently she... ...tabalized this stuff pretty well.

Aminals like these

Speaker 2 (23:43.406)
I guess, and it really improves their performance in some pretty athletic things. High jump. Okay. So the next situation. Okay. After eating homemade edibles, a man called 911 convinced he had time traveled because his watch was set to military time and he couldn't understand why it said 1700 hours.

boy.

Did some poor person who had partaken in some cannabis edibles... Freak out!

I think this is true.

E.T. thinks that some poor guy just consumed maybe a little too much and thought he had time traveled because he was at 1700 hours. Well, you know what? That is made up. It is? It is totally made up.

Speaker 1 (24:37.75)
I could totally see that happening. Although if somebody had their watch set to military time, I was just wondering who does that? People in the military, people in certain businesses? I don't know. Are they likely to be people who would be partaking of vetables? That was my one little hesitation.

I could see.

Speaker 2 (24:50.264)
police officers.

Speaker 2 (24:56.718)
Healthcare people.

And I think a lot of Europeans also may follow military time. I don't know why I think that I could be making that up. Or it could be the deep recesses someplace.

Okay.

Speaker 1 (25:12.279)
You

Speaker 1 (25:16.034)
there. Who knows? mean, there's right.

I do believe that some European countries use military time. fact, think France might be one of them. So then would it stand to reason the EU?

Speaker 2 (25:34.905)
H-L-A-R-

All's moi sank. Right, there was no PM AM.

But we didn't say.

Military time, wasn't a 1400 or, know, what would be 1200, 1300 would be one o'clock, right? 1300 minus five, it would be one minus five is what you said, right?

I said 11 minus 5 because that's what the time is right now.

Speaker 1 (26:02.734)
not here.

Jesus, here we go again. That's right. That is correct. You are correct.

It owns I thought you said one owns is what is 11. I

So it's $1,155 here. I know. Okay. said.

I know that's what I mean. But I you said, like one.

Speaker 2 (26:26.254)
No, no, no, no. Is it feminine or masculine?

our own.

It's you any it's just you any time yeah, so it's feminine. Yeah, whatever. What the hell are we talking about? I don't understand. well, okay, we got off on time travel. Well, and that that too. How the hell we got on the dish running away with the spoon ether. dear. Okay, well, 50. And

Get away with this.

Speaker 1 (26:58.562)
Jumping over the moon, that's what it And the sheep.

Sheep. Yes, got to jump sheep jumping sheep. It all makes sense now when you follow it backward. We tracked a little bit. We're able to get there. Jumping jumping animals. Yes. Who's more apt to jump? OK. And under what's your

All makes sense.

Just back.

Speaker 1 (27:20.302)
I guess it depends who's gotten into the weeds.

Yes, and under what what the circumstances of jumping might be what's the motivation? Right? Yeah, you know like this something urgent

Sheep jumping, I wonder, were they jumping for joy? They felt so good.

I just think they couldn't contain themselves. Yeah, they were just like, you know, woohoo. Full of energy. Why was the cow jumping?

Goodwill. The cow jumped over the moon because he thought it was made of cheese. Cows. No. No, not at all. That's not even close. I don't know. The little dog laughed to see such sport.

Speaker 2 (27:49.464)
Boo. No.

Speaker 2 (27:56.628)
I know maybe the dog you know like goose up the cow a little bit with some.

Maybe the cow was trying to cheer up the dog and said, watch this. No, open moon.

Was the cow going after the spoon? I know, but were trying to get to the spoon in the dish? They saved them from themselves. Where are you going?

maybe,

Maybe it was the dog in the spoon and the dish stepped in.

Speaker 2 (28:25.74)
I think someone needs to figure what happened here. It's a mystery now. We'll have to figure that out. So we're up your 50-50 once again. You're maintaining your... Yeah, you're maintaining your streak. Intergalactic. Does it do the same thing? Hearing it? Does hearing it do the same thing for you?

Okay.

Speaker 1 (28:41.998)
Valiberium.

Speaker 1 (28:53.784)
I'm.

Speaker 1 (28:57.782)
No, I mean, I like the word. Don't get me.

Careful about I need to feel it here. I Just I we talked. I thought we talked about this a couple weeks ago. Yeah

did.

I we were all on the same page there, right? I thought we were on the same page there. No more talk about the, no more epiglottal talk. leave things. The throat is a non-entity. No more, no more, Nay-Nay.

be true to life

Speaker 1 (29:21.944)

I've had to say fuck it this week to something. A real life example.

Okay, fuck it what what are you gonna fuck fuck this week fuck it what's a fuck

I can't do it and I'm not going to feel bad about it. Writing Christmas cards, right? Camping, you know.

To mailing out Christmas cards

I know, I'm sorry, I love playing Christmas cards. However, I'm not sorry. We are, we can't help it. We've got to break the cycle of-

Allergizing?

Speaker 2 (31:42.958)
You must just say fuck it

This is too apologizing.

I'm gonna say fuck it to apologizing for not writing Christmas.

do too much apologizing. I'm sorry I do too much apologizing.

Sorry. Well, this can be a two for them. Could be two for one. Say I do remember. remember sitting at the kitchen table with my mom, addressing the envelopes and putting the stamps on as she was writing the cards out. I would go through the list. we would send out hundreds of cards.

Speaker 1 (32:22.082)
did back then because it was the way you kept in touch with anybody you didn't see from year to year. In long distance you couldn't talk on the phone.

Well, long distance was expensive. Yeah. Right. So Christmas cards were a key, key way of

You needed money to do it anyway if you were to pay phone. That's like, know, if you were traveling and you needed to call someone, you had to go to a pay phone.

There was no Facebook, there was no Instagram. Very often, this was the one time of the year for people who were distant that you heard from people. Maybe they included a photo of their family.

Yeah, but it's interesting right now. It's just yes

Speaker 2 (33:02.175)
Well, you know, there's there's so many other ways to communicate right I I gave up Christmas cards a long time ago

Yeah, the only people we really get Christmas cards from anymore, some of the like older relatives, know, and that people in their 80s who can

You still have older relatives in their 80s?

Some of my cousins are yeah. yeah And then the organizations that we donate money to send us a Christmas card Thank you water org But not the not the personal ones I used to have quite frequently especially in the kids were younger would do the photo cards I remember your mother mocking me one year because

Right.

Speaker 2 (33:35.534)
Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2 (33:44.226)
Correct, yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:51.254)
Why is this not a surprise?

Very, very cute Halloween picture. My kids dressed up for Halloween. They were just adorable. And I used that for my Christmas card. And as I recall, your mom said, does Gina know what holiday this is? This is really very

That's Marion. So I, well, I think that's something that we, yes, fuck it. Fuck it to the Christmas cards. You're apologizing.

You know, you can't do everything and it... Well, I'm not. I'm just saying you can't do everything. No, but I'm just trying... Go! Let me just speak! Thanks! I wanted to say to our listeners, feel bad if you have to let some things go. It's okay. It's okay.

I'm just gonna say you're equivocating.

Speaker 2 (34:24.782)
No

Speaker 2 (34:36.686)
It is okay. No one's gonna die. No because they did not get a Christmas card

Frankly, people are just going to go maybe go, I never got a card from that person, but.

Well, here's the other thing if you just want to do it strictly on grounds of Being kind of the earth. That's true, you know not generating more waste Mm-hmm. in all honesty, you know takes time and money and resources to generate the Christmas cards to You know, so the lower the demand the less the less impact it has on our environment Yeah, well, we've got other ways to communicate and share our sentiments

Right.

Speaker 2 (35:16.76)
