Unfiltered Midlife Moments & Cannabis Wisdom | Turn It Upside Down

In this episode, Queenie & TT lean into the growing midlife realization that the old way of doing things may no longer apply — and that turning it upside down might be exactly what’s required.

They talk candidly about exhaustion, disruption, and the low-grade burnout that comes from being the default person for everything. From home projects and daily chaos to the emotional weight of hosting, organizing, and maintaining traditions that no longer fit, the conversation reflects what it feels like when the clock keeps moving but your priorities shift.

Cannabis weaves through the discussion as both routine and reflection — what they’re using, why clarity matters more than excess, and how slowing down can sometimes be forced rather than chosen. TT offers perspective on the uneven global landscape of cannabis legality, travel risks, and why assumptions can still land people in serious trouble.

As always, the episode wanders joyfully through word nerdery, cultural references, trivia detours, and another round of “Was Cannabis Involved or Is This Just Kaka?” — because laughter is still essential.

The episode lands with this week’s Fuck-It List entry:

🔥 Fuck it to hosting Christmas every year — or doing anything purely out of obligation.

If it doesn’t bring joy, peace, or meaning anymore, it’s allowed to change. Turn it upside down. Reassign the rules. Keep what works. Drop the rest.

This episode is permission, perspective, and a reminder that midlife isn’t about holding everything together — it’s about deciding what’s worth holding onto.

whole house is in disarray. There's shit all over the place. There's kitchen shit in the family room. There's kitchen shit everywhere. Wherever I look, there's kitchen shit. I guess it's better than chicken shit or dog shit or anything like that. Yeah. So, my God. Well, hello, TT. How are you?

Yeah.

all over the place.

Speaker 1 (00:46.944)

I was just...

I'm

Speaker 1 (00:56.014)

Hello Queenie, my queen. I'm good. I'm not, but I'm... No.

Well, okay, I'll take that back. That's not great. That's not great. But you are you are going on vacation. I am soon.

The day after tomorrow, yes. How sweet it is. It's up in the 80s.

Tough to take. Yeah, that's tough to take.

Well, you know, yeah, I in case they don't let me back in the country, I guess I could think about living there.

Speaker 2 (01:27.726)

Well, there you go. And I hear the cost of living is really much lower than here. So your social security will go much further there. You just let me know. I'll come. OK. behind you, know that.

Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:45.258)

It's tough. Yeah.

My niece was in the Dominican for the Peace Corps.

Cool. Okay. Yeah. I mean, it's a very poor country, but you know, part of their economy, I guess, is people like us coming to escape the winters, you know.

Tourism is a primary driver. So yeah, absolutely.

So yeah, I'm grateful we can do it. That's sweet. That's so nice. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:09.901)

Very nice. I am I've been displaced. am now up in my bedroom.

Yes, man.

because my kitchen no longer exists. It's a shell. It's barely a shell at this point.

I

Speaker 1 (02:31.042)

My dog has also been upset because she saw the suitcase come out.

I know, know, they know what's coming.

Poor things. We had to take her into the vet yesterday and now we have to give her little treatment. She's got some little infection between her, her pad claws, you know, those little crevices. She's been licking her paws a lot so we took her in and yeah. Poor little baby.

So you've got to put like white men in there.

Well, there's these little they're kind of like tucks. They're medicated wipes You know once a day wipe them so well, that's not so bad. No, no, no, no, she's you know It's trying to get her not to lick is hard part. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm boy anyway

Speaker 2 (03:16.78)

that is their first instinctual behavior.

she had to go to the vet and I had to go to the dentist.

I not because you had an infection in your pads.

No, no, but I had to go because I went into a piece of cut apple. I wasn't even biting into like a whole apple, a little slice of apple. And my crown fell out. I went to chew the apple and I was like, is this thing in my mouth? And I spit it into my hand and I was like, what? It didn't look like my tooth because it was upside down. the, you know, and I was like, thank God it's my tooth.

Bro.

Speaker 2 (03:54.254)

That horrifying.

horrifying because you know we're at that

We're not meant to see the inner workings of those things.

So, no, and they can how long till dentures, you know? I don't think they- They don't? What do they do?

Do dentures anymore. I think it's implants. Yeah, you'll get like a full, I don't really see where people are popping in their dentures and popping them out. I don't know. I could be wrong.

Speaker 1 (04:20.626)

okay. Well, I see I don't want to get an implant because of that face pain thing I had. I'm not taking any chances on that coming back,

No, no.

Speaker 2 (04:32.364)

I don't blame you.

Anyway, was the last couple days. had some snow. We got about four inches.

wow.

We are so glad it's supposed to get snow and it's gonna be really cold while we're in the island. You had it?

We've had no snow. were supposed to have five to eight inches. Boy, we're gonna get slammed here. Nope, not a thing. It was raining and it's been very windy, but no snow. And I don't know if there's snow in the forecast either. So, nor do I care at this point. What I think has nothing to do with what will actually happen.

Speaker 1 (05:08.642)

Right? We do not.

Speaker 1 (05:14.476)

Right. That's true. have no control.

No control, no control at all.

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 (05:34.296)

So anything exciting happen this week?

the crown, the crown jumping out of your your face.

Yeah, that. got my hair cut. you know, did a lot of prep work for going. That's. You know, I was still getting over that icky cold I had, so. Yeah.

departure.

Speaker 2 (05:53.686)

Yeah, yeah, I was we I just felt like I spent all week trying to keep the dogs in, you know, some semblance of I don't know what they've just been out of their minds and they can't, Teddy can't decide if he wants to be in here if he wants to be in, you know, Dan, if he wants to up down.

Mmm, it's got them cray cray. So and you know, just getting used to different work setup. Challenging. Yes, and there are people in the house downstairs scraping everything. Lots of noise. and yesterday we went with that water and power for a good chunk of the day. You know, and I'm gonna say, as soon as I found out the water was turned off, I immediately wanted to brush my teeth. It was

in the house.

Speaker 1 (06:30.414)

Whoa, whoa. Noise, yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:44.206)

Of course

I was like, my God, I've got to brush my teeth. my God. Unreal. was like immediate. So that was fun too. But hey, we're getting through it. Yeah, real big bad problems I've got.

Hmmmm

Speaker 2 (07:04.814)

Coffee's nice but nicer with some good

dancing brownies in a tray my butt tender asking what you had today what have you consumed today a cookie a gummy or a potent j did you basically dive it or roll your own way tell me what cannabis you consumed today

There's a

Speaker 2 (07:41.112)

So Titi, what have you consumed today?

consumed fluorocal farms. That's a wild berry indica and it's about five milligrams. It's got THC, CBD, and CBDA. I can't read it. The print is very tiny.

care.

Speaker 2 (07:57.388)

Five milligrams.

Speaker 2 (08:06.324)

Very tiny and our eyes are very open.

Our eyes are old, aged eyes. Although I do have some new lenses, having my cataracts done a couple years ago now.

What do mean you have new lenses? you're going to have new ones put in?

No, when they when they did my cataract surgery. Yeah. Well, I they're fairly new. They're not 67 years old. They're only a couple. Yes, I upgraded. Wow. But anyway, it's it's it's a lovely little bud. Yeah, I feel I feel fairly clear. So that's good. Sometimes I get a little spacey, as you know, recording.

Right, you have new lenses now. Oh, I thought...

Speaker 2 (08:30.882)

That's true. That's You upgraded.

Speaker 2 (08:39.448)

Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 1 (08:50.156)

can't remember from one second to the next.

clarity at this point you're saying.

I think more clarity than other times.

Do you think the time of day may have something to do with it?

Either that or maybe because I only took five milligrams this time.

Speaker 1 (09:09.71)

There's something to do with it.

I don't know why you would think...

Maybe 10 is a little too much. Maybe 20 is way too much. I was really, I did have a full 20 milligram gummy the other day and I was, woo, talk about into couch. Almost non-response. Oh, it was so nice though, so relaxing.

Indicat. Well, you know, much is made of being conscious. I know, right? Sometimes you just need to go there. You just need to have that empty headspace.

Yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:43.308)

I think I needed, my body just needed to be able to do that. Cause I've been like a tight little fist, you know, well for months, yeah, years, whatever.

I that yesterday when the water was turned off and the power was turned off and I really couldn't out there for we had no Wi-Fi and my phone was really suck because the Wi-Fi was off. I thought I'm just going to lay here. I put my little wedge on the bed extra other little pill. No, I listened to I started listening to be good or not be good. Let it go. Let it go. Let it go.

Did you?

Speaker 1 (10:18.158)

Let it go. No, no.

them. Let it be let it go. One of those. Yes, I started listening to that. And, you know, I just I just totally shut my eyes. I just let myself be the book.

Almost like because it was enforced upon you.

Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly I would not have done that otherwise. Really, I don't know why. What do you want? I'm not going. I'm not going down. You can go out. I'm not Ted. Do you need water? Go take care of water. So I'm smoking. I'm smoking as you saw. I'm still with the Maui Waui.

I can hear Teddy.

Speaker 1 (10:49.324)

He is trying to kill you.

Speaker 1 (11:01.422)

You're still now you wow in it

Maui Waui, because I'm hoping at some point, some level to be, you know, I'm trying to transcend some warmth, get into some warmth. Good. You know, I'll project myself into your, your experience with vicariously. it's Maui Waui for me this

Tree swaying.

Yeah. Wow, I haven't seen anything like that in a long time. It's been a-

Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:29.73)

water.

Speaker 1 (11:34.708)

California, haven't you?

Well, yeah, but I haven't I haven't been anywhere with blue water since before the pandemic easily. I wouldn't call that blue water. I'm talking the Caribbean. you're talking, you know, turquoise blue.

Blue.

Speaker 1 (11:56.398)

It's different blue. It's not aquamarine blue.

It's a green. It's a dark, dark green.

Sometimes it depends on the sun in the sky. It looks very dark blue sometimes. Sometimes it looks turquoisey on the sandbar. Right, it is not the Caribbean Sea.

the sandbar when there's a foot and a half.

It's not the Caribbean, right? Or, you know, the Gulf of America. You know, if we could only get that blue up here, would be.

Speaker 1 (12:22.998)

the Gulf of America.

Speaker 1 (12:28.024)

Gulf of Meritocracy.

Great. So yes, so we seem to be in a bit of a rut with what we're consuming. Yes. I'm smoking, you're gummying.

Speaker 2 (12:40.694)

I I should shake it up somehow and I'll have to think of.

We're going to remember how we never did that. We were going to try hash next time.

together. Yeah, we'll do that. Maybe. I don't know. I to think of something unique, You know, candy bar.

Speaker 2 (13:03.894)

I could have a candy bar and new blonde during our podcast and see.

See if that, yeah, cause you've never, you don't do edibles very often. You some gummies, not, you drinks and tinctures and that kind of thing.

I do have some.

Speaker 2 (13:21.27)

I would say it's smoking, tinctures, drinks, gummies. That's how.

You don't think?

That's rare, very rare, very, very rare. And if I can't smoke, I may have a vape with me. But not routinely, no. I should say smoke slash vape.

Yes.

Speaker 1 (13:41.688)

Well, this kind of brings us to our new

Or a Sliff. Our new stuff!

Speaker 1 (13:52.992)

No

Speaker 2 (14:33.422)

TT, do you have a story for us this week?

I do music.

Share music music music music. Did you see our transcripts are picking up our music music music now?

Just took a little getting used to or something, I guess.

I saw the words of the songs and the transcripts. Very cool, very cool.

Speaker 1 (14:53.835)

Awesome!

We've learned so much. We've learned so very, very much. Titi, what is the story for today? The story for today is last week, I wanted to update people on a question that came up last week and I want to let you know the countries in which legal marijuana is legal in recreational and or medical senses.

We have learned so very, very much.

Speaker 2 (15:26.798)

Good, very good.

give you a little rundown. So places where it's legal, both recreationally and medically, and, of course with each country, there are going to be stipulations about what constitutes medical or whatever. You'll have to meet the criteria, but Canada is both medical and recreational. Yay, Canada.

Go Canada!

Parts of the U.S. are both and we know that 26 of the states are now have legalized marijuana. And then Mexico is both medical and recreational. Chile? Yes. And Uruguay was one of the very first, might have been the first country. Germany is both medical and recreational. And Slovakia?

Recreation. Okay.

Speaker 2 (16:07.822)

See you next time.

Speaker 2 (16:14.068)

They were the first country in the world.

Speaker 1 (16:21.294)

Oh, I'm sorry. Is it Slovakia? No, it's the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic. Cool. So the last one is, oh no, there's a couple. There's one more. South Africa is both medical and recreational and Georgia is medical and recreational. And then there are some that are just medical. It's just medical. Colombia, a lot of South America, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina.

So what are just?

Speaker 2 (16:49.815)

Okay.

Yeah. So, and of course some of our states and then there's Norway, Finland and Poland are, and Lithuania are all medical. And if you jump up to Norway, wait, Norway, that's all Norway. Okay. Sorry. The United Kingdom is medical. Okay. And the other place is, which I kind of was surprised to see is, Morocco.

is for medical.

And there's a couple others, but I don't want to get boring. Anyway, I just want to let people know that it's still, there's still not a whole lot of places that travel. No, in fact, the penalties in Asia as we, as we.

How about an A?

Speaker 2 (17:34.164)

We are what, Japan? Nothing in Japan?

Japan, let me just double check here. think no, although I think it's very possible to get it in Korea. Okay, so I'm looking at an article that says these countries will never legalize cannabis. And one of them is Japan says a first time cannabis offender could find themselves doing hard labor in a Japanese prison for up to five years. United Arab Emirates, you're not allowed to possess or consume any amount of cannabis or resin.

Korea

Speaker 1 (18:06.157)

for you.

Is the UAE also dry? I believe.

I don't know. Yeah, yes, they are. Anything in terms of right. And I know that's Muslims don't don't drink. I know that and I'm not sure I think that they don't take anything impure into their bodies or something. don't know. But Japan, as I said, is it's really bad there. An individual involved in the production sale and transport of the drug faces harsher sentencing.

Yeah. Mind altering. Yeah. Maybe.

Speaker 1 (18:37.366)

up to twice. First time offenders can be up to five years. Tunisia, again, following Islamic law, there, Turkey, anyone possessing or purchasing will receive a two to five year prison sentence.

and Turkey.

in Turkey and importers or exporters of cannabis, they face sentences of 20 to 30 years behind bars because it's a gateway. Turkey's a gateway, you know, between Europe and the Middle East. In Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, both very strict laws. Philippines and of course Singapore, some of the strictest in the world. Getting caught with anything over 30 grams is considered trafficking and will get you up to 10 years of imprisonment and...

24 terrifying cane strokes. They'll put you to death if you traffic 500 grams of cannabis or more. And foreigners are not excluded. Even the smallest trace found in your system at the airport would mean arrest, jail time, and fines. So don't have anything on your person if you're going to Singapore. Even if you had, I don't know, I'm guessing like a seed in your seam or something. You know what I mean? That sounds really scary.

Or a pipe with resin in it. Right. And you had no other weed with you. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. So this, this just goes to show, you know, how demonized cannabis still is in many parts of the world.

Speaker 1 (20:03.692)

Yes.

Speaker 1 (20:09.472)

and the US has well the charge on that you know well

it because before we could and now I was just gonna say I wonder what impact if we do deregulate it and blah blah blah who cares people at this point are like who gives a shit what you do and I can't say that I blame them. I know.

anything else you're saying we don't know what the fuck you're gonna do next you know right

Right, right. We're not following anything we're doing, you know.

We're just gonna let you do your self inflow. Just, yeah. You know. Let them ruin, hang themselves. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:41.794)

No thanks. Sorry. Geez, it's them again.

Speaker 2 (20:51.074)

we don't want to make eye contact. This is awkward. once, you know, once we get our feet back on the rest, it's going to take, I don't, I couldn't even, I can't even imagine how long it's going to take to reestablish any semblance of trust or integrity.

Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 (21:10.21)

build something better, you know?

I know, but I mean in terms of our standing internationally.

Yeah, that's gonna take forever. yeah. Yep. It's been...

We've lost all any tread of belief of exceptionalism. That we somehow were better, made a better thing going is a pile of shit at this point. You know, just to, you know, I can't really think of a better way to describe it. mean, so, I mean, have at it folks, but all right. Well, that was interesting, TT.

Right.

Speaker 1 (21:35.918)

You have to put it.

Speaker 1 (21:48.728)

Yeah.

Like I said, I really doubt that anything we do here is going to impact. I mean, in terms of cannabis, anything going on internationally because

participating in any international. Anything else. Anything it's like. Maybe if you're all stoned, you'll be nicer.

that's nice. Go. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:11.086)

Good God, one could only hope, right? Laura Z.

Speaker 2 (22:27.73)

If I That Ikea shelf straight as the sky Rewired my router don't ask me why Track down my ex's new alibi Ate three meals and learned to cry Guess what? I could've done this if I

Speaker 2 (23:00.294)

I thought I disowned Fix the faucet, clean my phone Gave deep advice in a perfect tone Voted twice, no? Just groaned still I could've done this if stoned

Speaker 2 (23:44.574)

okay. Titi, are you ready to play everybody's favorite game? Coulda, woulda, shoulda, was a, were they? Under the influence of cannabis, was cannabis involved? Or is what you're hearing a bunch of kaka with a k- That's good to know because last week you swept-

I am ready to play.

Speaker 1 (24:08.546)

That's right.

Yeah, adding a thousand percent.

I think that was a 20 milligram day.

Well, it to work in your favor. So just to refresh, TT is going to be presented with two situations, if I can find.

Here we go again.

Speaker 2 (24:30.828)

Are you kidding me? Yeah, let me look here. Two situations and Titi has to decide, was cannabis really involved or is this just caca? Did I say that already? Yes. See, I'm in that loop again where I'm not paying attention to what I'm saying. I used to do that when I was interviewing people. Like I'd have days where I was like six or seven. Honest to God. So you're sitting there and you're reviewing the resume and then I'd say something and I'd say.

He already asked this question.

Speaker 2 (24:59.992)

Did I just say that? Sometimes, you know, you just have to check in just just just for the heck yeah, more than once more than once you're like saying yourself. Did I say it just now or did I say it?

familiar to me.

Speaker 1 (25:14.926)

I'm routinizing this too much.

bad. It's bad. here we go. So TT, are you ready to play? have our two situations. Okey dokey. See, I say I'm a strain was engineered to grow in sub zero Canadian temperatures with frosty snow covered trichomes. It's a winter weed strain.

you do.

Speaker 1 (25:41.122)

You know, I don't think that's possible. Genetically engineered though, so maybe. Because, but why would you do that? I mean, because people that grow houses, right? I think that's false. I think that's fake. Even though Canada is a leader in cannabis, legalization and production and all that kind of stuff. I'm going to say it's false.

Titi believes that that's not true at all. You think that's Canadian caca? What you're saying? Caca with a C? So, okay, you know, because we do spell some words a little differently here down in the South and our neighbors to the North. So we'll say caca with a C bow to our neighbors to the North. So Titi believes that that's caca. You are correct.

Kaka.

with us.

Speaker 1 (26:17.719)

Yes, we do.

Speaker 2 (26:34.158)

That was a 2020 prank. So there you go. It is clever.

And it's an appeal, I would imagine, it appeals to those folks up north.

Well, it would be something I think, you know, if you didn't have to make special arrangements, you could just plop it out there in the snow, I guess, or in your, you put your, your pot of pot outside, you know, to get all that, you know, Northern sun. So, so there you go. You are correct. Amundo. Okay. Numero two or dose.

or dose.

These are dose. Drinking orange juice while high will instantly triple the intensity of your high.

Speaker 1 (27:22.37)

juice. Well I know that that that that bumps up your insulin right? So does that have anything to do with how cannabis? No!

OJ

Speaker 2 (27:33.114)

I honestly don't know. So, it's the aisle of Langerhans, has anything to do with metabolizing cannabinoids? I don't know.

It's a-

It is all chemistry now and biology, so.

just like saying the aisle of Langerhans. You know how long I've waited to say that?

You've been waiting a very long time.

Speaker 2 (27:55.406)

There are couple things floating around like that. Medulla oblongata. Whoops, got that in too. All right. I didn't mean to digress.

It did really well.

Speaker 1 (28:03.118)

Yeah, we are digressing.

Yes, just a tad. Orange juice, believe. OJ.

you're right.

I see OG. Yes, he was. Sorry. Sorry, folks. Sorry to burst your bubble there.

I think that's false. Otherwise, there would be a lot more orange juice consumption.

Speaker 2 (28:26.434)

Good point. That is a very good point. See, you're thinking these things through. So TT believes that that is a falsity. That's a kaka back with the K. Well, wow. Seems we're on a rip. TT.

You've got four in a row now. For two weeks. So ding ding ding for you. I know maybe these are getting a little too easy. I think we might be running out of quality information. I don't know.

Good job!

Speaker 1 (29:01.94)

well, I think that was believable, but then I thought, well, you know. Unless it was a new finding, it could be a new finding.

Yeah, could have gone.

Speaker 2 (29:11.566)

could be but wasn't. wasn't. No, no. congratulations. Thank you. So I really think we might have to transition back to either back to a game of yore or come up with something totally new. I think maybe

Because I'm them right?

No, I'm pulling the rug now. She's gotten four correct in a row and that's like my tolerance level is over. No, no, no, no, but I think, I can't have this. I got to switch it up right now. No, I think we might be getting to the end of content, the availability of content for this particular feature.

But it's effective again.

Speaker 2 (29:54.835)

So I'm asking you, do you think enough time has passed to return to, is it a strain?

I so. It's been one. Or a segment? Yeah, I think so. think people enjoyed that. So we could do.

We could prepare for that. You know, that was fun. Or I do believe at one point we did, what if, would you rather, or something along those lines. hmm, well, we can mix it up too. can just, we can call it a, you know, a wild card feature, something or something along those lines or a hybrid.

you

Speaker 1 (30:34.21)

Yeah. The wild card, like, jeopardy. Hugo, the wild card. He always kind of perked up when he said that.

Double jeopardy.

Speaker 2 (30:44.716)

Well, if you pay attention, if you pay attention closely, you know when Double Jeopardy is coming. You can tell from on TV, not when you're there, but when you're there's there's just a different, there's like a slight hesitation millisecond. I've observed. You know, there's a way to. I don't watch it now since he passed away.

I've it long time.

Speaker 1 (31:06.114)

Just as it sounds like such an old woman. Yes, was such an old lady thing to say.

I won't watch the Tonight Show since Steve Allen's been off it. Yeah, Alex Trebek. Nope, I won't watch it since Alex is gone. my god, it's awful. It's awful. It's a horrible, horrible thing. Monty Hall. What?

Speaker 1 (31:29.14)

Heroes of

Oh, I know. Make a deal. He had a great microphone. had that he had the same microphone that Gene Revern had. Because I remember from why I don't know from probably watching this shit.

you know that.

Speaker 1 (31:46.348)

child. As a child. I to me, when I see a microphone, I go, it's a microphone. I don't know if it's the same as like, I don't notice what model it is.

these were distinctive. These are distinctive microphones. Jean Rayburn's microphone was that long skinny one with the little ball on it. And when...

All right.

Speaker 2 (32:06.734)

like Baldwin was redoing it, he had the same microphone and I think, I think he had that too. I totally forgot who the other one was. Woulda, coulda, shoulda, real or fake Another headline for TT to take Floor to man, maybe not AF vper dream or news I got Four winds deep, she's on a streak Clocking kaka like it's her meteor chic My arms scrolling thin, the wells run dry I've run

Speaker 2 (32:34.51)

So crown the champ, enjoy the clou-

Speaker 2 (32:44.738)

But I've also been watching the Dick Van Dyke show and it's hysterical. It's very funny.

Did it last? I mean, it aged well.

There are some points that are a little, but for the most part, know, Laura's got a backbone. She didn't let him get away with shit, which is pretty good. But it is pretty, the writing on that show is pretty. And his physical comedy on that show is pretty wild too. You just took for granted as a kid, but he was, he did so much physical comedy on that.

I loved him.

Speaker 1 (33:18.414)

Yes and so talented yeah I think I had a little crush on Burt when I was little.

He was a handsome guy. He was very handsome guy. He was a lush. He was, he was a, he was. Oh yeah. Now just celebrated in hundred years. So didn't hurt him much. Whoa. He's preserved and he looks damn good. You know, so it was a, yeah, I've been wasting time with that. Well, 100 % once again.

So there was even worse.

Speaker 1 (33:36.11)

Pickle-Tip!

Speaker 1 (33:48.142)

Cool.

Speaker 2 (33:52.204)

Congratu-congratu-la-sholes. You should be very very proud of yourself. Ta-da! So you're right, we are gonna move on to another game.

I have to say.

Speaker 2 (34:03.918)

It's time for another game. Hmm, yeah, well, we can't have that. We've got a list and it's getting long. Petty to profound, what feels so wrong? Sticky notes and middle-aged sass. If it don't serve us, it can kiss our ass. Fuck it, fix it, or forget it. We're seasoned.

Speaker 2 (34:30.42)

If drains are so long, 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

Speaker 2 (35:02.382)

Tee Tee, are you ready for the fuck it list?

I am ready. I am interested to hear what this week's fuckit list is.

This week's bucket list comes to us. Yes. Thanks to our listener in line at skill, which is outside of a Troy, New York Janice Janice says, fuck it to hosting Christmas every year. I'm tired. And I thought, you know what? That's a great, that's a really, there comes a time when the torch

Hey?

Speaker 1 (35:34.152)

That's a good one!

Speaker 2 (35:41.644)

needs to be passed.

Yeah, that's a good one. Or why not just, you know, I have a friend who does, no, that's for Thanksgiving. She does pizza giving with her kids. Cause they have other places they go for the big turkey thing. So they come over and get pizza and do games and stuff together.

I got the sense that this was born out of years and years years years and years of being the one. Everything, birthdays, know, gathering. Right. Whatever family function was going on, that was the house. after here we are in our late sixties, it's done. It's enough. It has done enough. My turn to get weighted upon. So.

A person.

Speaker 1 (36:13.774)

or something. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:31.565)

Bye.

I think this was a great addition to the Fuck It Listen.

So you guys figured out. You can come to my house, but you figured out the food.

Another woman

Another woman in California said the same thing to me. She said, I'm going away next Christmas. I'm sick of waiting on everybody hand and foot with no help. I don't enjoy Christmas and we're going to go away. I you know what? That's a great idea.

Speaker 1 (36:57.236)

I have to say, I got a lot of help. did, you know, people pitching in, the kids all cleaned up, did dishes, you know, all that kind of stuff. But I was, I was pretty much doing the food, you know, I was in charge of the food and that is a lot. Especially when you have guests, house guests, you know, when you're worrying about breakfast, lunch and dinner, you know.

but it's a lot.

Speaker 2 (37:17.134)

Mm-hmm understood. No, that's it is a lot

I think, well, and it always falls, I shouldn't say always, so often it falls on the women, the mothers, the moms, you know, the grandmas, whatever.

I have to say though, in our house, it's always been the case. Dan has always cleaned the table, always cleaned up. Now I try to clean up as I go along cooking. I try not, my mother on the other hand. Oh my God.

I do it as I go along too.

I tried to and yeah, right up until you know, you're serving out. But so he's you know, I have no, I cannot complain there at all. You know, he's pretty much it's been 5050 for us probably, you know, a little more 60 him truth be

Speaker 1 (38:02.764)

far as housework and stuff goes.

yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:09.986)

here, although honey has become enamored of the Dyson stick.

yeah, he was using it just earlier today, wasn't he?

He enjoys vacuuming. Yeah. You know what happened? He was working on some software and he couldn't get it to work for like two hours. And then he finally was like, I'm just going to vacuum. He vacuumed out of frustration. Wow. Yeah. vacuuming has therapy, I guess. know, that's also, I have to say that's a wonderful time to hum.

They're vacuuming his therapy, there you go.

Speaker 2 (38:40.718)

I was going to say every time you say to start say hum, I think you're going to say hump because when you said that before to have you, you should. When I said I was laying in bed and you said, were you humming? I was like, if I just say, my God, are you humming? It just.

That might be hard to do while you're vacuuming.

little bit.

Ooh, wouldn't be advised. Ooh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

Thank you ladies.

Speaker 1 (39:20.731)

And everybody expects you. Yes.

to say, or you you could just say like, you know, a month before Christmas, say, hey guys, I really.

or even, you know, depending upon the situation. Right.

Can everybody just bring something this year? Or cooked in a bowl?

Who's going to host this year? That's a lot too. Whether you're bringing people, bringing stuff in, you know.

Speaker 1 (39:43.042)

Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:53.282)

That's such a, especially that time of year, if it snows or there's ice, you're responsible. mean, it's, you know, so yeah, who's going to host? Sounds good to me. So we have to take care of ourselves, ladies.

Well, and if it's something you enjoy and you want to do it and you've got help and you know, great. That's great. It's just that if it's weighing you down, it's time to let go.

If it's not giving you joy and it's more of an obligation, it's not working for you.

And it gives you joy, it gives you the opposite, dread, resentment, I don't know. Free yourself.

Free yourself. Free yourself from the drudgery. Yeah, I think it's a great idea. Wonderful, wonderful. So thank you. Thank you for your input. Always appreciate it. So Titi, you're going to be flying off to Blue Water as we speak, as you know, you'll be there as this is heard. As this is heard though, people are listening, she will have been.

Speaker 1 (40:38.7)

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Thank you. thank you, thank you.

Speaker 1 (40:54.126)

Within 48 hours.

Speaker 2 (41:01.389)

almost leaving.

I'll be getting ready to go come back to the cold. Man, that sucks. Just thinking about it.

Well, don't rush.

No,

rain it in a little bit. Yeah. Yes. Yes. And I am going to be attending a rock voices concert on Sunday up in Saratoga. And I think I'm going to bring mother with me. So that should be interesting. So that's late afternoon. So I think that'll work out perfectly. Do that and hopefully get her out. I don't think we're supposed to get any weather.

Speaker 1 (41:32.888)

So we'll.

Speaker 2 (41:38.798)

Unless, you know, sometimes at the last minute she can put the brakes on. I don't know if I should be around people. So we'll see. We're going to bank another episode before you leave. So you haven't seen the last of us before TT leaves these warmer climes.

Speaker 1 (41:50.808)

That's right.

Speaker 1 (41:56.95)

Right. And then you'll hear in several weeks how my trip plan.

That's right. And we'll be right up close to Valentine's Day, I believe. So everybody should be preparing for Valentine's Day.

EW

Speaker 1 (42:12.152)

Please. I don't know. I don't know. I'm just like, why would you wait until or just only tell someone you love them on a special day or give them a card because it's that day or like, you know, usually I don't know. Love them all the time.

I don't think that's the point of

Speaker 2 (42:31.776)

This is your one and only time you're able to express this emotion or sentiment Get it off your chest or forever hold your peace till next year

feels like though, it's like.

Speaker 2 (42:48.494)

Celebration it's a celebration Yes, it's a celebration. It shouldn't be it shouldn't be your one and only time or sharing Consideration with your partner

Honey used to always tell me that it was a fake holiday made up by the...

Card companies? Candy companies?

Card and candy company. Yes. Card and candy company. Yeah. Yeah. So he just... What's wrong with that? ...was beneath him to participate.

course it was.

Speaker 2 (43:21.184)

All holidays are created for those explicit reasons, right? It's all about the money, boy. That's the way it is. I'm not going to

Those financial

Speaker 1 (43:32.878)

It to be about tradition. used to be about tradition.

Saint Valentine is the patron saint of love and that's his day. It's his patron day.

Right, Catholic or Christian. I think about him. I think of Cupid. think of Valentine's Day. I do not think of St. Valentine.

lot of people like St. Valentine.

Speaker 2 (43:56.138)

Even though the name is Valentine's Day for Saint.

Valentine. What comes into my head is a heart. A cupid. A heart and a cupid when I hear Valentine's Day. That is my mental picture. It is not a saint in his robes. I don't even know what he looked like. you?

Okay, understood, yes.

I have no clue. He's probably an ugly troll.

is just the one that you know blessed everything and made brought everybody together you know like serenade to bergerac yeah not the looker not the you know the guy you want on your wing

Speaker 1 (44:28.546)

Well, I was thinking he was like one of those, I don't know, Eastern Orthodox priests with the big high hat and the gold leaf. In red, yes, in red.

but in red?

Speaker 2 (44:41.742)

think you're describing Santa Claus.

No, no, no, no, no. No, his robes were mostly gold though. They were red with, they were embellished with gold and the hat was like one of those very elaborate. don't know. That's my picture. Yeah. Like a cross at the top. Yeah. And, and, so I don't know enough about St. Valentine to actually be. You're correct. Was that right?

mitered like a mitered hat. Like a pope.

Speaker 2 (45:08.33)

red robes. know more than you think you do. I think you've secretly been checking this guy out. I think you have. You seem to be right on.

Yeah.

Speaker 1 (45:17.62)

It's a Valentine.

Speaker 1 (45:22.382)

Is that what he looks like? I get it? That's the other, well, that's, you know, that's the old Catholic image I have, but I immediately think of as Cupid in a heart.

Let me show you. Even though I don't think anybody obviously no one. Well, maybe they were on the podcast. Let's see screen. Here he is. Share.

Speaker 2 (45:45.954)

That is indeed it. There we go. See, we can show this on our video. Yeah. So there's St. Valentine. TT was right on the button with that. Cool. All right. I'm going to stop sharing now. Wasn't that special? Look at that. Special effects. So yeah, that's what, yeah, I don't even know how we got off on that, but well, St. Valentine's Day is coming up. So it's his patron. It's his day. It's his day.

Yes.

Speaker 2 (46:15.19)

It's his day, you know. He wasn't bad looking, but he does kind of resemble Santa.

A little bit. A little. All of those, you long... Two.

there's a younger one over here. There's one over here. Younger, Yeah. Valentine with brown hair. There's a coloring book page. We could color in St. Valentine. We could put that on, put that on our, we could put that on our website if people want to download that and color their own St. Valentine. They can do that. And his miter, you can do get his miter in there and his staff.

North Valentino.
