Menopause, Estrogen & Cannabis Reality | 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.

speaker-1 (00:32.842)
A family of something in there because but there was the smell of like old urine It was like it was so gross so gross and then the the drawer under it way in there I don't know the drawer under it too was it's really small Yeah, anyway, I had to clean those out I was like it was kind of gross. I did I wear gloves. I didn't I should have worn a mask

because you know, legionnaires and all that, but I should have. Ew. I know. Just ew. I know it was so gross. No evidence of what it was. Could have been. Just a lot of turds and you know, little turds. No, no, no. mice, yeah then. I think it was mice, yeah. I know, a little fluff and I know, I know, but it could have been three years they were living in there. Now you've disrupted their whole I know, it's like...

They're trillinable. And then we have rabbits living under the deck, which drives the dog nuts. She's constantly like... And I two rabbits this morning. think... Okay, this is weird. I saw a big fat rabbit out in the yard. I was like, oh, I wonder if it's pregnant because we'll have some little babies like we do every year. But then I saw this other critter and the screen was up in the kitchen because sometimes I open the windows during the winter and I couldn't tell. I was like...

squinting, couldn't tell another critter came up. And first I thought it was another rabbit. But then I was like, is that a squirrel? It looked like they were fighting. But then I was like, oh, maybe it's a... And they moved around so much, I couldn't really tell. I was like, well, if it's a rabbit, it could be a mating ritual, you know? So it's hard to tell sometimes if it's love or hate, you know? Wow. Yeah. Well, it's funny, I saw an article, I think it was yesterday.

on I can't remember the name of the kind of rabbit it is, but it's like as big as a beaver or bigger. Oh my gosh. Almost as big as That's a big rabbit. Yeah, they're huge and they're called Dutch. I don't remember, but I told you about our neighbors next door that they had to have had one of those because my father, I've never seen my father react. So he looked in the garage window when they weren't home once and he's like, Jesus Christ, you got to come over here look at this. I went over there. Granted, they were

speaker-1 (02:56.526)
there were dozens of rabbits, bunnies, because they had gotten them for Easter and they kept them in the garage. But one of them was one, there was at least one of these huge, it looked like a Volkswagen. It was like that big, but it was like, Oh my God, but there, there were bunnies all around the place. They had signs out free bunnies. course, nobody was taking them up on it. One day a panel truck.

came and took all the bunnies out. don't know how many hundreds of bunnies they removed from the garage. But this thing was huge. Wow. But they did they were produced like bunnies. Like rabbits. We had when I was little, we had a pet rabbit. My auntie Ani, as we called her, gave it to us for Easter. My mother was gonna kill her. Oh, yeah. She's got four kids. Now we have Fumper. A pet bunny. Yeah. He wasn't he wasn't a happy bunny. Four kids pulling at him but

And he use to his foot. think we ended up getting him to a farm. The old farm lie. Wink wink. Yes. Just like Taffy. But it big though. It pretty big. Yeah, they do get a big, you know. It was white rabbit. My niece had a rabbit, but you know. pink eyes. Yeah.

You have the nose. They're so cute though. They're cute. cute and they're very soft. are. when they're tiny little, when those little tiny, tiny bunnies are hopping Do you have to make sure that they're not like nesting in your grass or are you just assuming they're on your... No, they're not in our grass. There were some at my mom's. Little nests, yeah. In the grass. was like, what the hell? Because the dogs used to dig all the time. I was like, oh, these dogs. And then I look and I'm like, oh, there was this little...

probably the fluff on top of it, you know, like, was like, I think it's a bunny nest. Then I was worried about mowing there, you know. yeah, yeah. they, yeah. their little heads up. it goes. That wouldn't be nice. But then they cursed them. what? We got buck rubbed. Buck rubbed? Buck rubbed. What the hell is that? Wow. It's quite interesting. So Dan was looking out the side window.

speaker-1 (05:14.594)
which, you know, we rarely look out the living room windows on that side. Right. You know, and we have a lilac bush there. It's an old, very well-established lilac bush. Yeah. So some of the, some of the limbs I would say are good, maybe three inches in diameter at the bottom, you know, so it's, it's substantial. And we had trimmed it down. Yeah. Well, he looked and he said, good God, something has stripped all the bark off the various

branches of the wildlife tree. So I went out and looked and it was literally stripped down. looked like someone just went and peeled it down. Yeah. From about five feet down. Wow. So was like, what the heck? So I took, of course, took a photo of it and asked Mary Jane, what's going on here? Buck rub. Buck rub. is that time of year? And they rub their antlers to remove their velvet. That is so interesting. So we got buck rubbed. Buck rubbed. Sounds like fun.

It's like it might feel good. didn't know anything about it. It kind of happened without our knowledge. Buckrub. Okay. buckrub. See? Right near the fence. mean, we've never seen bucks out here. mean, we've seen doe and fawns, but of course, if there are fawns and does, there are bucks, but you just don't see them. Right. And we're not like on the edge of the neighborhood. the woods. Right. So interesting. I know somebody would like his buckrub.

Wouldn't they all? Buck rubbing is what makes the world go round now, doesn't it? That's what they tell us. Just use lots of lube. Hello, TG. Hello, Creamy. And she's exclaiming, lube!

What's the word of the day? Lube! Should be the word of the century, huh? Yeah, the decade at least. The decade, yes. Whichever decade it is you choose. For goodness sakes. Well, hello there. Hi. Hi. Hi. I'm back in my studio. Yay! How wonderful is that? Oh, I love it. Yeah. It just feels so much better, much more, I don't know, comfortable. Yeah. Everything's at the right height. Sure place, yeah. And it's my spot.

speaker-1 (07:33.198)
Did you bring your moving desktop with you? am bequeathing that to Dan. Oh, how nice. For his office. Oh, how nice of you. Yes. He's in the side bedroom and we're removing that had been a playroom and there's still some kitchen items in there. Not our kitchen items, but play kitchen items that need to be moved. little stove or something. Stuff that we need to move the kitchen out of there and then...

it would give him a little more surface area. Because he's got two screens he's working with and yeah, he's got a it kind of crazy? I remember this feeling with my own children, like getting rid of a lot of the Fisher-Price stuff, know, all that big, like, climb on play in. Can you believe that it's you're getting rid of your grandchildren's stuff? It's like, whoa. You didn't really have to put it that way. I'm sorry. It just, it's so like...

yes, it is. Yeah. So I'm going to I'm to see if my niece and Ron would want it. Good. Because we've got that rug. And that would be perfect. They've got a little play area up in their attic. So this rug is very cute hopscotch the whole deal. Yeah, it looks like a chalkboard. And then maybe they'd want the kitchen. That's a great idea. So next time Brian comes, we can, you know, send it over with him. I think that's where my sister's house she has this big old

more than a hundred year old house and they have what they call the up upstairs. It's where apparently the servant used to be. There's a little separate staircase going up there. It's got my niece's kitchen stuff up there and it's wood. It's like plywood. think maybe her grandfather made it or something. Yeah. It's like, okay, well she's an attorney now and lives in New York City. But maybe they're saving it for her, you know, cause if it's a family heirloom type thing.

That's pretty cool. Yeah. Wow. Well, my nephew's wife made, she got into woodworking and she made a beautiful kitchen, whole kitchen set for her daughter. Like, cool. It was a several year project. remember the little tea sets. Remember that? You'd play, play making tea and having a tea party. a wooden table and chairs. Yeah, we had that too.

speaker-0 (09:48.302)
yeah.

speaker-1 (09:57.794)
Maybe Katie and Bronwyn would want the kids. we'll see. Yeah. You know what the part of me is like, it would just be good to get rid of. Like I saved a bunch of stuff thinking, well, when my kids have kids and you know what? I don't think it's going to happen. So I might just do a purge. I'm still purging. Yeah. The boxes that I'm going through. If, I'm just, you're out of here. You're out of here. Or it's going to the dreaded garage sale. The garage. That I'm not running. Right. I'm not doing that.

Yeah, that is not my you could sit in the window and watch the people. God no, I don't want any any part of it. No, it doesn't do anything for me. Nothing. I don't like going to them. No, no, no, no. You're like going to garage. No, no, no, no. that stuff. No, I would prefer. I don't know much. Well,

Yeah, because my house is full of its own shit. know why. If I was into antiques or something, if I was looking for something vintage, I may go to like an estate sale or something like that. these garage sales, no, no, no, no. Well, I think when the kids were little, that's where like I got their little Fisher Price car at a garage sale, know, crazy coupe. my God. Well, I had a crazy coupe in the purple buggy.

Oh wow. Well, I had to. They had to, you know, they to have vehicles. And they were, you know, driving around the stairs. They loved it. was a lot of fun. And then, you know, gave them some freedom. I'm gonna take the car out for a I'm gonna take it out for a spin. Keep an eye on me, will ya? Oh lordy. Lordy, lordy.

speaker-1 (11:55.096)
So what else is new, TT? I'm trying to think what else is new. I did go to see my gynecologist this past week. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Yes, was very... Please. She was great. She was so low key and sympathetic and, you know, just really, it was a pleasant, it wasn't an uncomfortable experience, let's put it that way. And she said to me, yeah, you do, you need some estrogen. And I was like, yes.

speaker-0 (12:03.953)
yes.

speaker-1 (12:24.684)
Yes, yes. I've needed it for years. So anyway, she gave me a prescription for this medication that is it's a fairly new medication. And what it does is it's somehow it's a it's like a suppository like a, you know, it's that kind of glycerin or whatever. And and you insert it and it actually has that

part of your body produce estrogen. So it stimulates, it stimulates estrogen production. Yes. Yes. Without any of the systemic, the systemic right problems. we'll see how it works. It's the only thing is it's extremely expensive. And you said it was fairly new. Yeah, this is fairly new. I mean, it's been around for a couple of years, but it has it, there's like no generic yet. Nobody's copied it. Okay. Probably because yeah.

You know what's so annoying? Here I am worrying about paying for this stupid med, right? 300 a month. I mean, we're not talking chump change. And I see these ads on TV for Viagra and it was just, oh, it's like, really? Come on. Yeah. 0.0003 cents of a pill now. Well, yeah. Right. So anyway, it's it's Well, I think there's a period of time, seven or 10 years where with the patent that

And the way that period of time, then you can generics are able to be manufactured. there's a period of time where- for young women, because I'll tell you, this is, I did read, like, of course I went and looked at a bunch of people's comments about taking it. It's very different from looking at the pharmaceutical page, you know. And there were some women who said, oh, I had a lot of discharge or my hair started falling out. I was a little worried about that one. But-

It can take like up to two months for it to really start to work. So and is this a daily daily insertion? Well, you do it at Yeah, you do it at night so that you're prone and and it's not gravity's not working against you. So anyway, we'll see. We'll see. I'm hopeful. I left her office feeling so hopeful. And this was the first time you'd seen this practitioner also. Right. I hadn't seen her before. you know, it's how did you find this this

speaker-1 (14:46.286)
This person, how did you find this practitioner? in the practice. That you had been going to? Well, I belong to this thing called Associated Physicians and my primary is with them and they have their own lab and they have different specialties and gynecology is one of the specialties they have and if they don't have the specialty you need, they're affiliated with the university. you can go All righty.

Yeah, but that we'll see how that goes, you know, as far as rubbing it everywhere, I can't because it's maybe I guess I could I could before I insert it do a little like Tanya suggested. It doesn't sound like this. No, it's not. doesn't have estrogen in it. That's true. You're right. You're right. I would need your cheeks can create estrogen on their own. don't know. Okay. You might want to just keep it where it belongs. We'll see. We'll see what happens. Now. So you've got that.

Just the one thing. So no oral? No oral. We're going to see how this goes. OK. OK. So follow up in what, six months, three months? Yeah, three months. Three months. OK. That would make sense. Yeah, that should give it time to work and see. But there were women who were writing, my god, it doesn't hurt at all. I have my sex life back. This is amazing. And so I was like, OK, I'll try it. Wow. That's amazing.

Because I have a lot of pain, you know, so we'll see. We'll see. We shall see. So do keep us informed. That's wonderful. I will. I will. So that was my excitement for the week.

speaker-0 (16:23.586)
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah!

speaker-1 (16:30.926)
Yeah

speaker-0 (16:32.61)
Yeah

speaker-0 (16:36.366)
TNT shoots in the goop just to make it less risky So she don't feel like she's stabbed in the coochie coo

We hope and pray this will save the day, a woman shouldn't need a battle plan to play. Hard on pills cost me a cent, but anything helping women can cost as much as rents. They got four hour solutions on every farmer's seashell, but when we need help they say handle it yourself. Pass the group, pass the group, we shouldn't have to jump through every hoop. Pass the group, pass the group.

speaker-1 (16:51.406)
Okay.

speaker-0 (17:18.652)
We shouldn't have to jump through every hoop The little blue pill gets commercials on the TV Two bathtubs on a hillside, like that's how love should be Insurance covers his revival like it's basic health

But her cream costs eighty dollars sitting dusty on the shelf Four dollars for his fireworks, congratulations sir Two hundred for her comfort, tell me how is that fair?

shoots a goof and she likes the herb And she tells our man to wait Till the medicine is absorbed

Cost me a cent While anything helping women can cost as much as rents But we're shooting a goop and we're saving the day Cause nobody, nobody's taking our play away Past the goop We're done being quiet down there Past the goop We're done being quiet down there

speaker-1 (18:43.214)
What are smoking? What are you consuming? What am I consuming? What am I consuming? What am I smoking? I am smoking. It's an old favorite. Koa pre rolls. Look at Koa. Oh, cool. Is that a tin? It's a tin. Oh, have quite the tin collection. Blue Dream. It's a sativa. Sativa. Okay. So you should be getting a little boost. A boost. A boost.

What are you consumed of? I had a cup of tea this morning with my good vibes, fast acting, unflavored. Dripage? Syrup. Syrup. Syrup. Syrup. Yeah. And it's good stuff. It is fast acting. know, I had read an article a couple of weeks back that the price of cannabis in Massachusetts is like bottoming. What?

Mm hmm. A flower. No kidding. There's such an excess that the pricing has just. Well, you know what I'm wondering too is they probably took a big hit when New York legalized, right? I'm sure they were producing. Yeah. Most of the cars in the parking lots when we went were at park plates. So that may be a point. That may be a good point because, you know, if they had planned X amount of production. Right. And now we're overproduced.

Yeah. With Massachusetts grown cannabis. Yeah. So people might want to keep that in mind if you're near the border, you might want to do some price comparisons. Right. Because you might, you might make out if you're a flour person, you might make out a little better if you're buying your flour. It's interesting that that doesn't carry out into the other forms of consumption because you would think. You would think. But yeah. I think with processing, I don't know.

I don't know enough to have a thought, I'll stop there. Okay. I don't have a thought. I have no thoughts on that. No, I don't know. don't know. Don't make me answer that. my God. I watched Shrinking last night. Was it good? Yes. Don't tell. Don't tell. Don't be a spoiler. can't. No. Okay. Okay. And I caught up with the pit too, so now I'm sitting real with my thumb up my ass. No. We still have a couple of watch on the pit.

speaker-1 (21:12.078)
No, I what I did do since I'm listening to the book about Liza Minnelli. Oh, right. I did go and find her special in 1973. Because I just she refers to it quite a bit in the book. I thought, oh, you know, let's just context. A little walk back in memory lane because I really what I really wanted to do was watch cabaret again. Yeah, because she refers to that. But it's I'd have to buy it or rent it. Okay.

Yeah, I don't want to see it. I mean, I've seen it. I don't want to see it again that much. Maybe I will by the end of the book, you know, I'll, I'll break down and do it, but it's just interesting to be able to reference something that she's talking about. Right. back and take a look. I did that with the Jenny Carson book too. So I'm in my, know, that's how you started watching Johnny again. Yeah. Yeah. Just like Dick Van Dyke when he turned a hundred, that got me going. I watched the whole Dick Van Dyke show.

yeah. Okay. I'm on, I'm on a mission. Well, why is it with a Z, not with an S? Please I could see the whole thing. That's quite the song. Have you heard it?

speaker-1 (22:24.554)
So it's just, it's very interesting. So that's been fun. It's been, it's been enjoyable going through that. So I would recommend that so far so good. But as I shared with you, if you're going to listen to the audio book, you have got to be prepared to a very bizarre delivery because her cadence is so off. I can't even describe. It's just awkward and it's you're waiting for a sentence to end and it's

keeps going and something that keep should be going is ended and it's like, oh, so if you can get through that, it's interesting to hear her perspective. Yeah. Well, she's reading. Oh, it's not like she's just having a conversation. Yeah. So yeah, I mean, she is 80. And yeah, you know, she did do quite a bit of damage to her brain with drugs and alcohol. So

The fact that she's alive is a testament to, since her mother did herself with the drugs and alcohol issues, whether it was purposeful or not, at 47. Yeah, that's so young. if you're- 80's a good age. Well, Candice Bergen is 80. Who else just turned 80? That's when I figure I'll probably start to think about packing it in. don't know. Yeah, that's what we factored. Yeah, 80.

That's where the 15 years came in. That's where we projected that would be a good place to 15 good years. Stop lies a stop. So it's just a little by the by on that one. But yeah, if you're interested in Judy Garland or, you know, Broadway, it's very interesting and entertaining. She talks about Marvin Himm, wish a lot and Peter Allen, her first husband. Yeah. Very, very.

Very interesting. dropping. Well, this was her wife. I know. She's married to Jack Haley where I am in the book now. Really? The Tin Man's son. Dorothy's daughter and the Tin Man's son got married. Wow. did not know You didn't know that? No. Jack Haley Jr. Yeah. mean, of course they did. Of course they did. Of course they did. I don't know what the...

speaker-1 (24:47.782)
Well, you think about the bonding, know. Mm-hmm. Well, she met him when she was 14 and she's unreal. Similar stories to tell. Yes. Very interesting, though. It was a different world. I mean, this poor girl was, yeah, not a childhood. No, was tough keeping track of her mother's pills and all. So, yeah, you can see where she would have. Yeah, she came by it very honestly. Yeah.

her substance abuse disorder as she refers to it throughout the book. Yes.

speaker-0 (25:20.278)
What's the latest but bus?

speaker-1 (25:26.766)
Tell me

speaker-0 (25:27.118)
News where is it legal? No one knows

speaker-0 (25:37.422)
Fuck us, Tell me the news, where is it going?

speaker-1 (26:07.886)
Well, that kind of brings us to the news, right? Well, yes. I was just going to say, TT, do you have a story for us? I do. And it's actually kind of ties in with what we were just talking about with substance abuse. Here's the headline. Alcohol and tobacco are more damaging to users in society than marijuana is. Government funded study concludes. our grownup friends in Canada.

put together a panel of 20 experts with experience with substance abuse issues from all across Canada. And they were asked to evaluate 16 different drugs on 10 dimensions of harm to consumers, as well as six dimensions of harm to others, like your family or whatever. Right, secondhand smoke, those types of things, right? Yep. So here are the findings. Alcohol causes the most harm overall, with a cumulative weighted score of 79.

And this is out of 100? Out of 100, yeah. And this was published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology. And then the second one was tobacco, then non-prescription opioids, then cocaine, then methamphetamine, cannabis is whey. So like the score for alcohol was 79, the score for cannabis is 15. Wow, that's significant. No surprise with alcohol. None, none whatsoever.

And the analysis concluded that marijuana's biggest harm comes not from its effect on the consumers, but it's related to the illegal market. So if you think about criminal activity and blah, blah, blah, you know, there's a lot of harm there. Or potential harm, right? Potential harm from, you know, the buying and selling and all that stuff.

Anyway, really, ranked first in nine of the 16 harm categories, which is like we've been saying, why is weed so much deemed to be so much more dangerous? It's hard to fathom. It is. I shared with you, I've been, obviously, as people know, I've been doing a lot of family work, genealogy and whatnot. I knew

speaker-1 (28:31.198)
that my grandfather, my father's father was an alcoholic. He died right when they found out they were gonna have me. So I never met the man, but he was deaf. He was a ne'er do well. He really never found his footing, let's say. And then, you know, I'm going back and further, further, further. Well, his father, alcohol, his brother's alcohol, dying of alcoholism. My grandmother's brothers, all three of them.

All physicians, one physician, two physicians, one dentist, all dead before they were 72 of alcohol. Yeah, it's terrible, terrible, terrible, decimated whole families. And we've seen the effects of it. It's nothing to play with. I think being aware of the potential danger, if this is in your family, is important. Yes, for sure.

for sure, especially if you have a family history. Ridiculous. Mm-hmm. But you know, and this, well, what's happening too is people are turning more to cannabis than to alcohol. Alcohol sales have dropped. I think socially it's more acceptable to be high than it is to be, you know, drunk off your rocker. So it's, yeah. I heard a quote from Mike Tyson the other day.

He said something, because when he's smoking weed, he's got like a different person. He doesn't get angry. He's not, you know, and he said something to the effect of, give people alcohol and they turn into a bunch of brawling psychos, know, give them weed and they're just hanging out, you know? So, and I think there are a lot of people that do self-medicate with cannabis, you know, when other things aren't working.

Well, yeah, why not? But a lot of those people I think do use the black market like here in Wisconsin, you know, what are you gonna do? Well, yeah, you don't have access to the legal market. So it is a more risk risk. It's a riskier proposition. Right? Risky because of the product, you don't know what the product is bad and you're risking your freedom, potentially exactly right financial issues with fines and fees and legal fees.

speaker-1 (30:53.838)
So yeah, crazy. It's crazy, crazy. So anyway, Canada once again shining the light. You got it. They're the beacon on the hill these days. We are the beacon on the hill, I can say.

speaker-0 (31:09.262)
Could could I, should I, real or fake? Another headline for TT to take, floor to man, maybe not. AF, fever, dream, or news I got? Four winds deep, she's on a streak, plucking kaka like it's her meteor chic. But I'm scrolling thin, the wells run dry, I've run out of weed news, don't ask me why. So crown the champ, enjoy the clout, I'm not surrender-

So Titi, it's time to play everybody's favorite game, shoulda, woulda, coulda. If you recall two situations Titi's got to figure out. Was cannabis involved in this situation or not? Was it kaka with a K? And Titi's been hovering around 50%. You've had some good weeks, you've had some very bad weeks, you've had some okays in there. So, are we ready to see what happens this

Let's give it a shot. Let's give it a rip. Okay. A man wandered into a home depot after consuming an edible in the parking lot intending to buy light bulbs. Okay. He emerged two hours and 45 minutes later with $312 worth of weather stripping, a level and no light bulbs. He had also helped three other customers. Did this.

happen or is this kaka TT? This sounds very plausible to me and I'll tell you why. Here we go. Well, there are a couple of things because it again, weed makes you calm and pleasant and happy and I could see, you know, someone being generous with their time and offering to help someone else when they were high.

I also can see how you might have forgotten what you came there for in the first place because I often have trouble with my short-term memory. So I think, well the other thing is that he may have been creative enough to say, I have these other projects that, you know, are in, that I've been wanting to get started with. So why don't I just get the weather stripping now I'm here and you walk around and you look at things and.

I spend very few hours at Home Depot. doesn't seem like a bad thing to me. So I'm going to say, I think this might be, was he smoking in the car? was an edible. it an edible. he took an edible. well then I don't know. Cause that, take a while to kick in. He was smoking. Unless it was a nano. A quick acting. Yeah. acting. We've had those. see now.

speaker-1 (33:55.884)
I'm thinking going to change my answer. think just because of the whole edible thing, although if he was in there for, it would have kicked in in like 20 minutes. So if he was just wandering around the store for 20 minutes, it would have kicked in. Then it could have just ballooned from there. I'm going to say I'm torn now. I don't know what to say. She's torn folks. She's torn. and she's panting.

speaker-1 (34:22.668)
Help me, help me, I want to be a winner. She wants to be a winner, folks. Okay, I'm going to say, I'm going to go with my first instinct and say, yes, it happened. Titi believes that this poor gentleman spent two hours and 45 minutes in a Home Depot with the intention, the initial intention of purchasing light bulbs and emerging with none, but being helpful. plausible. Yes, Titi feels that this is plausible.

Titi. Yes. After much consideration, I saw you were going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. You, you decided to go with your first instinct. I did. Too bad it's This was kaka. Nothing but kaka. I should have gone with my second instinct. You should have gone with your second instinct. Yes. Absolutely. So. Okay. You still have a chance.

Still have a chance to, you know, salvage a 50-50, another 50-50 week. All right, here we go. Second situation. A black bear in Yosemite broke into a camper's SUV, consumed an entire bag of THC gummies, and then could not figure out how to exit the vehicles. vehicle. Rangers had to open the door for him. He sat still for 45 minutes before wandering off uphill. TT.

Did this actually happen or is this kaka? I think this is kaka. Titi believes. Wow, that was quick. Woof. Yeah. Woof, I say. She says she thinks this is kaka. Wow, you didn't hesitate for a moment, especially after saying you should have gone with your choice last time.

You've decided to eschew that, just say, so you're, you're, you're cool with this, right? I'm okay. Well, TT, I am thrilled to be able to tell you that you've shit the bed again. This one was real. This was real. Yes. This happened in 2021. black bear in Yosemite actually did, this did occur. My goodness. That's a riot.

speaker-1 (36:35.096)
Can you imagine a bear just sitting in your car chilling? I don't know what I'm doing here, but it's feeling pretty good. Yeah. They do like to around and see what's going on. They do. They're very curious little critters. get into cars, because a lot of times people put their stuff in cars so the bears won't get them. apparently he was dexterous enough to get the door open. He could get into the SUV. Yes, broken.

Broke in. Mm-hmm. So TT, this week. boy.

It's okay. well. It's only a game. There's next week to look forward to. A lot of shame in my You're frozen. Wow. I really thought you were gonna at least split the difference, but I'm just feeling Couldn't help yourself. I just feel sad about this. You don't need to feel sad. I should. No, I don't think you... I take things too personally. No, I don't. I really don't think you should feel sad about this. No.

No, that's not the intention. you said, should say. You what? I shit the bed. You shit the bed. Okay, I'm sorry for using such a harsh art. It's kind of harsh. It made me sad. Okay, you were perfectly continent. There's no problem. That's not happening either. I'm sorry that I, dear, I've plunged you into despair. Not really. We don't want that. No, no, no.

And it's getting long Petty to profound What feels so wrong Sticky notes in middle-aged sass If it don't serve us it can kiss our ass

If it drains our soul or waste our wit We file it under, hell no, skip it From bad bras to toxic friends We draw the line and tie the ends each week A gripe or hill to die on With Queenie and TT, the bucket list lives on

you

speaker-1 (38:59.39)
fuck it. And you know, it's so interesting that we were talking very early in the show about letting go because I'm saying fuck it to holding on to shit from the past, holding on to stuff that weighs me down and just.

There's no reason for it. I'm talking about emotional stuff mostly. Wow. But also, but also what we're talking about with purging, you get rid of some of the crap, you know? Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So I can vouch that it does feel good to get rid of some of this stuff. And it really does. Yeah, there is a certain sort of. Freedness, freedom, freedom, freedom, that comes from not.

You're right, not being weighed down by stuff. Yeah. Yeah. So that whole letting go thing, I mean, and that maybe that's, I guess that's something that I hadn't thought about it this way, but you know, as we're letting go of things, old patterns of behavior, you know, blah, blah, blah, it's preparing us to let go of people as we age, you know, we're letting go of people, we're letting go of, and that's, that's a really important thing to be able to do. Like,

letting go of the idea that we can do everything anymore. Letting go of the idea. Healthily. Yeah. Yeah. Like being, you know, acknowledging that. being okay with it. Right. And say, there's a progression. Right. You know, letting go of I have to be a certain way in order to be worthwhile or productive or whatever. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Right. I agree. I agree wholeheartedly. I

you know, you know how freakish I've been with this kitchen. Yeah. Been crazy, crazy. And you know, the knobs were put on last week and my contractor was using a device that he had gotten. Let's just say it was a budget device. And when he finished doing these two knobs, there was a visible difference in, you know, evenness. Yeah. you know, yeah. And you know that

speaker-1 (41:08.462)
It would drive you crazy for the rest of your life. Yes, absolutely. But I had Mia here and I started, I was like, oh my God, you know, what the hell? And she goes, well, maybe, maybe he can fix it. I said, you can't, it's already drilled. Blah, blah, blah. And then I just, I just looked at her I said, you know what? I'm going to forget. I said, forget about it. It's no big deal. It's no big deal. No. In the scheme of things, it is no big deal. Right. And I, I don't care. You know what I mean? It's like.

It's not bothering you. You decided. what? It's not worth it. It's not worth it to me to get upset over something that is so minuscule, so ridiculous in the scheme of things. Right. I don't care. So I think this was a selection for this week, a great fuck it because I would be, you know, consumed with this. Right. yeah. You know, and I have to get a new door.

You have to replace the cabinet door. yeah. That's ridiculousness. It's ridiculous. It's unnecessary. I have a beautiful kitchen. It's lovely. There's not a thing wrong with it. I love it. Right. Right. And I think a lot of that has to do with this idea of expectations. Right. You expect it all to be perfect. We expect people to be perfect. You know, there's just this expectation. And when our expectations aren't met, that's when it's like

But if you just, you know, someone walked into your kitchen, they're going to say, Oh my God, this is gorgeous. You know, maybe he's going to say, that thing is two centimeters off kilter or whatever. You know, right. Right. And who cares what people say anyway, that's another thing, know, but it doesn't matter. I'm just saying you love it. I hear what you're saying. Yeah. But it's, it's nice to get to that point where it's where you can just say, it's not important. It's not important in the scheme of things. It is not important.

It's not a make or break in any way, or form. The other thing is, and this is closely related, think, is the issue of, you know, that I have control over things that I don't have control over, you know, that like I might be able to influence a certain outcome. And again, there's, there's that, you know, being attached to some sort of outcome for myself or for someone else, you know, I can't, it's not on me to make people's lives better.

speaker-1 (43:31.758)
You know what I mean? I mean, I can be kind and compassionate and bring that to the world, but it's not my job to take someone's life and turn it around. They have to be the ones to do that. Right. Right. And, and being a resource and being able to maybe help pathways, things like that. Sure. But you're right. The bottom line is it is the same thing. You can't want something more than someone else wants for themselves. It just doesn't work that way. And I think the sooner,

we can come to that acceptance the better because it does take burden away when you do realize that you absolutely do not have control. have very little control. yourself crazy thinking you do. Exactly. Because that, because people do what they want and it doesn't matter what you think is right or wrong. You know, it's up to them to decide. Yeah. You know, some of that is also carrying the emotional.

load if someone's unhappy, saying, yeah, let it go. Yeah. I agree. think that that was a, this was a great, a great fuck it for this week. And I think this sooner, the sooner we can accept some of these things as being uncontrollable, the better off we'll be, you know, you can, the only person you have control over is yourself. And, and if you're lucky, have control over yourself.

That's about it. You you have impact over what you do. And this is not to say that you divorce yourself from everything. I mean, you know, I'm going to go to the No Kings March because I know that all of us together are capable of more than one person can be. You know what I mean? I think that I'm not saying that, you know, fuck it to everything. I'm just saying that's something I can control whether or not I participate in the march, you know? Right.

Right. And even though, right, we cannot control what our government is going to do. We don't have direct control, one-on-one control, but we do have collective control. Right. When we come together. When we exercise our rights. Yes. As an individual, you're right. Through exercising your right, it becomes then becomes the collective. And that's where the comes from. And I think, you know, people who think, my vote doesn't count.

speaker-1 (45:59.416)
That's not true. No, it's not. It's not true at all. Yeah. So but Bravo TT. Yeah. This was a delightful selection. All righty then. I guess it's time to say goodbye. Goodbye Queenie. I hope everybody has a lovely week and if you're participating in the march, stay safe, folks. Be impactful. out there and be counted.

be counted. Let your voice be heard. Right. And we'll talk to everybody next week then. Thank you. Okay. Bye bye. Bye. All right, so I'm gonna hit
