Laughing Through Midlife with Cannabis, Chaos & Courage | Give Me Down To There

Queenie kicks things off with a full report on “cheating” on her longtime stylist when a French salon manager steps in and delivers oddly regal, precision-level hair artistry… plus a shampoo chair massage that basically qualifies as diplomacy. The two riff on aging moments that hit like a surprise slap (hello, “65+” as the final survey category), how invisibility feels real in midlife, and why humor is the only sane response.

TT shares cannabis news out of Wisconsin: a proposed bill that would legalize adult-use and medical cannabis while also regulating intoxicating hemp products. They break down the proposed possession limits and talk about how public support is ahead of lawmakers.

Then it’s game time: “Was it cannabis? Or was it caca with a K?” TT nails a wild Japan story about YouTubers setting up street sellers to be arrested for content (and getting arrested themselves), and then gets blindsided by an Irish man claiming a kilo of cannabis was for “homemade soup.” The episode wraps with a fresh addition to the Fuck-It List—three friends deciding to join a community choir even if they can’t sing… because joy > dignity.

speaker-1 (00:05.378)
casual

speaker-1 (00:12.526)
The closet did

Forms you

speaker-1 (00:33.164)
your haircut. looks so good.

speaker-0 (00:35.082)
my God, you know, so yes, as you've observed, I did get my hairs cut this week. Literally. I got my hairs cut. I have been seeing the same stylist precision master. Yep. Since 2010. Right. Right before Megan's wedding. And I, if you recall, I went to her and I said, I'd never.

speaker-1 (00:53.038)
Wow, it's a long time. She knows your head.

speaker-0 (01:04.75)
met the woman before. just said, my daughter's wedding is in six weeks. Do something, do whatever. I don't care. Whatever, whatever you, I have no idea. And you know, she came up with a little longer version than this. Well, not a little. was, you know, but she has literally been cutting my, the only person has touched my head other than a shampoo it has been Anne Marie for whatever many years this has been 16.

speaker-1 (01:30.125)
Yep.

speaker-0 (01:33.72)
Okay, I used to drive to Glenn's Falls to see her.

speaker-1 (01:36.31)
I know, I remember that.

speaker-0 (01:37.85)
Okay, because her cuts were, I mean, I would be complimented literally weekly on my haircut. It was pretty freaky. So, you know, I've been very pleased. I followed her all, know, wherever she's

speaker-1 (01:50.35)
You're very loyal. Oh yes.

speaker-0 (01:53.326)
Yes. So fast forward, have an appointment because I go every six to seven weeks and I get a phone call from the salon. Marie is not going to be available. Oh dear. What will I do? What will I do ever? is available. And I knew who Gregory was, the salon manager. I see him attractive man, very quiet. And I didn't realize he was French. Not that it makes any, you know, not a hero there. Right. So.

Is that okay if Gregory cuts your hair? I thought, well, he is a salon manager and I trust in Marie and she doesn't fuck around at all. Like she wouldn't put up with crap at all. I mean, she is a perfectionist and it's her salon. So I thought, right. All right. She would not. So I walk in and I sit down and it goes.

speaker-1 (02:40.95)
She wouldn't steer you.

speaker-0 (02:50.542)
It is nice to formally meet you. Because literally I just, I go in and I sit down and I mean, it's, know, usually sometimes one of the, uh, attendance or her people that she's training, uh, may shampoo my hair. Yeah. Yeah. It's usually just Dan Marie and I, so it's like,

speaker-1 (02:56.524)
Like you're the queen of England.

speaker-1 (03:14.35)
This strange man is touching my head.

speaker-0 (03:16.95)
So he started, yeah, right. he, so he's, you know, he's like, he's got his hands in my hair. And I'm thinking to myself, they've all been waiting. They've all just been, they've all wanted to get their hands on my head. I don't know why I this feeling. I just did. It's like, were like, yeah, like, let's see. Let's let me get in here close and see what's going on. I'll show you what I can do. Right. So.

speaker-1 (03:36.61)
Keep on the lottery.

speaker-1 (03:47.406)
competition.

speaker-0 (03:48.461)
Brings me to the shampoo station. I'm talking royal treatment. It was wonderful. I was seated in a massage That was the roller on my back I love that pood my hair twice. Oh, do you like a condition? Yes, please massage. Missus very very very nice. No complaint. Okay sit down and I just cuz he looks and he goes

speaker-1 (03:55.554)
massage.

speaker-0 (04:17.101)
There's too much. Too much back here. Too heavy. It's too heavy. Too heavy. I'm thinking, he's been waiting. been like...

speaker-1 (04:30.026)
I'm going to create a masterpiece.

speaker-0 (04:32.75)
Okay, so this is, I don't know, maybe I was like too high or something, I don't know, but this is the sense I'm getting, like, ho ho ho. So, he starts cutting my hairs. Literally, one at a time.

speaker-1 (04:47.596)
He didn't want to make a mistake.

speaker-0 (04:49.394)
I'm not kidding. You think I'm laughing? You think I'm kidding? No, no, the teeniest little, teeniest little... You've seen those, like, have seen behind the scenes type things where people are getting ready to go out for whatever, you know, a star and they're being, you know, styled and you've got, you know, a stylist there with the scissors just going, just, you like, this is exactly the level of precision.

that I experienced here and he said, do you use product in your hair? I said, no, no. I do nothing to my hair. Do you blow dry it? I said, yes, I do. I blow dry my hair. That's it. I said, I have trouble with, I feel the need to explain. Can't like, I this is what I do. I said, I said, I have trouble with mirrors as we've seen today, trouble with mirror images. They don't make sense. after 45 minutes, now you saw,

what the length of my hair was last week. Yeah. It wasn't touching my collar.

speaker-1 (05:54.806)
No, it was that long.

speaker-0 (05:57.356)
No, but I have received, I must say, have received multiple compliments in the three days since I've had my hair cut. My hair's all cut. My hairs are custom trimmed and meticulously.

speaker-1 (06:09.582)
Your hair's look very nice.

speaker-0 (06:19.37)
shape very happy yeah yeah i mean it falls right it falls right into place which is what it's supposed to do

speaker-1 (06:26.382)
It's supposed to do.

speaker-0 (06:28.136)
Anne Marie has trained so many people on short haircuts on me because not a lot of women.

speaker-1 (06:35.212)
she uses you as the head.

speaker-0 (06:37.044)
I'm like a head, but she doesn't let anybody cut my hair. she'll show them how to, I know how she like, I know how she cuts my hair. She partitions here, she puts this on the crown and you know, and then you do this and you shape it to that. And you know, she's very, very precise. And she's, know, really I've been like a head, a dummy head for years, years, years, years, which, you know, I don't mind, but, it is when you have a proper haircut, it should just fall into place.

I believe that's why I was asked if I used product. Because there may have been another contour or something we may have incorporated to highlight that. I don't know if you can see that if there's a, he took this way up. It was too heavy, too heavy.

speaker-1 (07:24.159)
Too much, too much.

speaker-0 (07:26.333)
And then the funniest thing-

speaker-1 (07:27.97)
hairdresser go, we're gonna get rid of this. Just grab a handful of my hair.

speaker-0 (07:33.454)
Well, that's all fun. It's like with disdain. Did you go to a groomer last? Rare. Did you go to Petco or something? But he was just lovely. I had a lovely chat. He and his wife and daughter had visited Quebec. They what? He visited with his wife and daughter. They went to Quebec. I you Tibet. No, not Tibet, Quebec.

speaker-1 (07:36.94)
like with you.

speaker-1 (07:42.126)
Who had cheer?

speaker-0 (08:03.406)
Quebec City in Canada, where the primary language is French. It's French throughout that province, if I understand correctly. And so, but he was, I'd say a little disdainful about Quebecois, the way French is spoken.

speaker-1 (08:22.188)
Not the same French as the French.

speaker-0 (08:23.948)
It is.

speaker-1 (08:26.392)
Well, like, yeah, think that the Spaniards say that too. The Spaniards say that about...

speaker-0 (08:31.448)
What are you speaking? It is not French. So yes, very delightful. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. So I would not hesitate. So then I'm getting ready to leave. goes, hmm, first time cheating on Annemarie. He got a little bit. I said, yeah, because when he first came over, I said, I was just sitting here thinking about the last time someone else cut my hair. It's been a long time.

speaker-1 (08:46.754)
Little frill!

speaker-0 (08:57.93)
So he did, he got a little try. He goes, that is, that is extraordinary. Something like that. Like very unusual. Yeah. So at the end, it's first time you've been cheating on Anne Marie. Hardly call it cheating. was invited to do this threesome. Your sordid little game.

speaker-1 (09:14.83)
You're the booby prize.

speaker-0 (09:17.33)
I'm the pawn. Don't play with me. I'm not yours to play with. So I just thought that was pretty funny. Yeah, so I did get my hairs cut. Thanks for noticing. So like I said, very pleased. Would have no problem at all.

speaker-1 (09:23.265)
Yeah.

Error's cut.

speaker-1 (09:31.222)
Recommending what's

speaker-1 (09:35.477)
Okay, crown.

speaker-1 (09:42.766)
What a great idea!

speaker-0 (09:44.898)
Yeah, the Queensbury Hotel, it's over 100 years old. Wow. Which isn't saying a whole lot.

speaker-1 (09:53.408)
It's historic. It's beautiful.

speaker-0 (09:55.694)
That's a lot. It's old. Yeah. So she's got a she's got a salon up there too. Cool. So and she's got a barber, a woman who's a like a master barber up there. So she does a lot of shaves and haircuts.

speaker-1 (10:11.982)

speaker-0 (10:12.972)
Two bits, two bits!

speaker-0 (10:19.342)
you

speaker-0 (10:30.798)
She's been caught in my hair for nearly 20 years She knows my cowlick nose, my crown nose, my irrational fear

But she's out today And now I'm in this chair And someone who is touching my hair with a f***ing hair care I'm cheating on my stylist and the whole salon knows They watched us together for two decades of blows Now all they've got me corner cape on nowhere to run

speaker-1 (10:58.701)
million

speaker-1 (11:13.64)
Look me in the

speaker-0 (11:15.092)
said so first time with someone up the scissors like he'd been waiting for this day stuck too long in a predatory way I don't color don't process I'm a washing cup woman but the way he said that deeply darkly human

speaker-1 (11:21.838)
You picked

speaker-1 (11:35.246)
First part felt

speaker-0 (11:39.934)
if he goes wrong? What if he discovers what my stylist knew all along? That my left side grows faster and my part is a mind And there's one weird patch in the back I pretend that I can't

She didn't know my stylist and there's no going back He's seen my raw hair, wet exposed, no product and no act I walked in for a trim and left with no one else's touch And the whole salon was watching like I just done way too much I'll be pretending none of this occurred But she'll know, then I'll know Cause salons don't keep a secret

Haven't you heard?

speaker-0 (12:48.61)
So Titi, what have you consumed today?

speaker-1 (12:50.926)
Today I felt I needed a little lift so I consumed some of my FloralCalFarms live rosin gummies. They are a Sativa.

speaker-0 (13:00.471)
Ink MMO need.

speaker-1 (13:01.678)
and he asked, they're delicious. And I took half a gummy because they are 10 milligram gummies. So I just did a half today. I'm just going easy because I had a cold and had other drugs in my system.

speaker-0 (13:15.054)
Low and slow. As they say, correctomundo? Low. Low and slow. I continue to smoke whatever that was that I had two weeks ago. I don't have the container any longer, but it's sativa. It's quite nice. Pre-ground. Yeah, very nice. No complaints here. That's what we're using.

speaker-1 (13:17.258)
I

Yes ma'am,

speaker-0 (13:43.242)
Our Closet Disco Queen podcast deals with legal adult cannabis use and is intended for entertainment purposes only for those 21 and older.

speaker-0 (13:55.31)
I don't think I told it on the podcast when my mom was in the hospital. got in there. No, no. week, she'd first gotten to the hospital. She got there before I did because I didn't have a vehicle. So I got dropped off. went in. She'd already been examined. So I went right to the nurse's station and introduced myself. So the nurse had just graduated a year prior from Memorial. Last class, I believe she said the last nursing school class for Memorial. So I was just and she'd been a nurse for a year.

speaker-1 (14:02.958)
That's nice.

speaker-0 (14:24.718)
So I was just, you know, making small talk and she was filling me in on what had happened so far with my mom. And I said, wow, boy this place has changed a lot since, you know, my mom and I worked here and going on and on. said, yeah, my mom's a graduate. She worked in the ER, the old ER, you know, before this one, blah, blah, going on and on. And she said, well, how long ago did you work here? And I said, and then I stopped and went, I thought, my God. I said,

50 years ago.

speaker-0 (15:00.91)
And I just looked at her said, oh my god, I sound pathetic. I just said, oh my god, that sounds so pathetic. Yeah, 50 years ago. And then just said, and then went in to see my mom again. 50 years ago.

speaker-1 (15:04.27)
So old.

speaker-1 (15:15.668)
It's so weird when it slaps you in the face like that.

speaker-0 (15:19.572)
Whoa, that was a slap. That was a big old bitch slap. Like, yo, bitch!

speaker-1 (15:25.07)
And I, the same thing happened yesterday. I was taking some kind of survey. don't know the guardian or something. the final category, age category is plus 65. And I was like, I'm in the last category. don't. There's when she hit 65, the elderly.

speaker-0 (15:39.406)
Sorry.

speaker-0 (15:46.094)
It's a big, big group.

disposable. We'll just put that in parenthesis.

speaker-1 (15:53.486)
Yeah, that was, kind of took me back a little. I was like, there's nothing after it.

speaker-0 (16:00.15)
No, no redeeming qualities.

speaker-1 (16:02.498)
Last option. That's where we're in the last option. Wow.

speaker-0 (16:06.946)
The last bucket, if you will. Holy moly. That's half of the population of the world at this point, isn't it?

speaker-1 (16:15.392)
I think

speaker-0 (16:22.814)
break really let's get a little I know I know so it's it's weird it's a weird time it's strange it's it is

speaker-1 (16:29.026)
It's a very strange.

It's like I don't think of myself as an old person even though everyone else does. They look at me and they look at my hair, short gray hair, and they think they're good.

speaker-0 (16:40.526)
We're in a category. Yeah. Right. I, yes, you're absolutely correct. I, I, that's a good way of putting it. That's exactly how I feel.

speaker-1 (16:49.718)
And we become, I think we become just kind of invisible to people. Just one big blur of gray.

speaker-0 (16:55.926)
Yes, yes, absolutely.

speaker-1 (16:57.486)
Yeah, we all look alike.

speaker-0 (16:59.758)
Yeah, they all look alike. Yeah, I think you're absolutely correct there.

speaker-0 (17:12.191)
BT tell me the news where is it legal

speaker-0 (17:29.442)
Where is it, ego?

speaker-0 (17:52.97)
TT, do you have a story for us today?

speaker-1 (17:55.286)
I do and it's good news from Wisconsin.

speaker-0 (17:58.284)
Good news from Wisconsin.

speaker-1 (18:00.504)
Potentially good news. Wisconsin Democrats have filed a bill to legalize adult use medical cannabis and at the same time regulate intoxicating hemp. You know, hemp products are sold in gas stations here and anybody can buy them even though they say it's, you know, whatever.

speaker-0 (18:20.012)
and in much of the country it's a billion dollar industry.

speaker-1 (18:21.73)
And in much of the country, that is unregulated. But the bill that was introduced here in Wisconsin would allow those 21 and older to possess up to two and a half ounces of flour in public places or up to two pounds in their private residence and up to one gram of THC in an infused product and 15 grams of cannabis concentrate and 12 mature plants per household. So they got really specific into what.

you know, what you could have. No, this is for recreational.

speaker-0 (18:58.444)
dear in the whole state.

speaker-1 (19:00.554)
the whole state and it says it would also right not just madison no this is a state the state legislature has put this out

speaker-0 (19:08.886)
Now, didn't things just flip in your legislature?

speaker-1 (19:11.36)
Unfortunately, I wish they would. What happened was we got our Supreme Court justice who was running against a conservative one that Elon Musk poured millions into the race, yeah, into the campaign. She won. You the Democrat won. She just because, mean, I was really, that was a pleasant surprise. That was great.

speaker-0 (19:26.168)
campaign.

speaker-0 (19:36.022)
But didn't, didn't for long time, the leader of the Republican party or the head of the majority, didn't he, someone who's been long-term stepped down? I was reading something. Okay, well, can edit this. Absolutely no sense.

speaker-1 (19:46.326)
No, I thought. Well, it could be. I probably should know that. Well, it's been, it's been, we have a democratic governor and a Republican majority legislature. And so that makes it difficult for our governor to get things done. like when Obama was president, but he's not going to run again. He's not up for reelections. Who knows what we're going to get? You know, we had that, that moron Scott Walker for a while.

speaker-0 (20:15.692)
Mm-hmm.

speaker-1 (20:17.026)
Who knows? Because this is kind of a purple-

speaker-0 (20:19.736)
state state senator now see one of your senators

speaker-1 (20:23.636)
No, no, no, no. We've got that, that Rod Johnson is the one.

speaker-0 (20:29.262)
Well, you got Ron Johnson.

speaker-1 (20:31.374)
We have him and we have Tammy Baldwin who's, yeah, yeah, think she's the first openly gay woman. Yep, she's great. Cool. So anyway, we'll see what happens.

speaker-0 (20:33.856)
Tammy.

speaker-0 (20:43.722)
Yes, well that's that is potentially good news for Wisco. Yeah.

speaker-1 (20:47.246)
Yeah, and 67 % of Wisconsin voters support adult use legalization. And that's from a Marquette College survey. Anyway, we can just hope.

speaker-0 (21:00.842)
Boop boop boop boop boop

speaker-1 (21:02.354)
I mean, I know there's a lot more important stuff going on in the world. However, this is good news for those of us.

speaker-0 (21:08.943)
Yes, some of these things are mere distractions, so we'll see. We will see! Well, that's great news.

speaker-0 (21:22.284)
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 queens, don't

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

So Tiki, are you ready to play everybody's favorite game? Woulda, coulda, shoulda, was this person or group cannabis related activity real? Or is it just ca-ca with a K? Once again, I'm going to make note that Riverside does not recognize ca-ca with a K even though I say with a K never makes a change.

So I have to.

speaker-1 (22:46.54)
transcript will let the transcript this Sanskrit

speaker-0 (22:55.722)
Okay, so that's a minor pfft, who cares, right? I change it, no big deal. But I just wanted to make that noted. See, AI is only so-

speaker-1 (23:04.814)
Exactly. It's not taken over yet. As long as there's people like Queenie and Titi around.

speaker-0 (23:07.742)
Not yet. Not yet.

That's right, we're still here out smartening. That's just so Titi. If I recall, you split the diff last week. I did yet again. Fitty Fitty. That's two weeks in a row that you were you had some success and. Six, seven, six, seven, six, seven. 5050 and I understand there's a new.

speaker-1 (23:18.156)
Yes, ma'am.

speaker-1 (23:30.943)
Six seven.

speaker-1 (23:34.83)
50.

speaker-0 (23:40.398)
There's a new number combo unless my grandchildren were just pulling my leg with. I don't know. But I know I'm told 41 is the new six, seven. So I don't know why four one.

speaker-1 (23:56.344)
Is it 41 or 41?

speaker-0 (23:58.242)
Because I do recall commenting isn't that interesting that's how old your mother's going to be so Hmm, we'll see and I'm six seven. So well, I don't know. They could be just

speaker-1 (24:09.55)
you are putting some sort of cosmic.

speaker-0 (24:12.846)
They could be bullshitting me. Well, I think they could be bullshitting me is what I'm thinking. Watch this, they say to each other. Watch, watch this. Watch how easily she takes this. Yeah, she's a patsy. We know exactly what, she'll glom right on to. Yeah. I don't, I don't doubt it for a moment. So, but anyway, we have two situations that will be presented to our TT. TT needs to determine is it truly cannabis related?

speaker-1 (24:16.61)
So, well, you and Megan.

speaker-1 (24:24.247)
I think you're right.

speaker-0 (24:42.696)
Or is it kaka with a K? Titi, are you ready? I'm ready. She just flashed the K sign, folks. Gotcha. Yeah. I gotcha. See? I'm on it. I forget who you're talking to. That's right. Right. One mighty brain. Here we go. Japan Today reported that a four-person team of YouTubers in Osaka attempted to monetize viral videos of cannabis street sellers getting busted.

speaker-1 (24:50.798)
Yeah.

speaker-1 (24:54.926)
Braids are connected.

speaker-0 (25:11.362)
The video team arranged to meet dealers on a street corner, tipped off the Osaka police, then filmed the dealers getting busted. This apparently struck the video producers as a hilarious prank. Did this or did this not happen?

speaker-1 (25:27.603)
so mean and I think it's very possible.

speaker-0 (25:31.63)
The species, the human species. We are horrible. I know, just, well, no accounting for taste, I suppose. Yeah. You could go that route.

speaker-1 (25:38.85)
Yeah. Did it really happen?

speaker-0 (25:43.202)
didn't really happen in such a corral society.

speaker-1 (25:47.104)
and planned to meet the sellers. And then they the police and said,

speaker-0 (25:51.608)
Yep, and then they bust them. Bust them, That's really...

speaker-1 (25:54.91)
Awful. is horrible. Although I'm sure there are many people who would say, you shouldn't be selling drugs out on the street. You got what you deserved. I know there's that faction of folks out there. I think it's

speaker-0 (26:06.615)
But do they exist in Japan?

speaker-1 (26:10.623)
I think so. think this is kind of a lie. I think it's universal.

speaker-0 (26:15.406)
Trait? Screw other people? dear.

speaker-1 (26:18.678)
Yes, I do. And some people it's extraordinarily strong and some it's just like, trip, ha ha, you know.

speaker-0 (26:26.222)
Well, you gotta admit though, sometimes when someone trips, it is pretty funny.

speaker-1 (26:33.71)
That's what I'm saying. But that's our level of meanness is that. then there's, you know, yeah.

speaker-0 (26:38.498)
Pass the

speaker-0 (26:42.43)
extreme, like purposeful. Exactly. I get you. Like instead of just spontaneously laughing because someone tripped, tripping the person to see them trip would not be good. Right. So we're kind of talking about that level of nastiness. Right.

speaker-1 (26:54.773)
Exactly.

speaker-1 (27:00.063)
I mean, we all have a little of it in us, don't you think?

speaker-0 (27:02.124)
and teeny bit teeny bit teeny teeny teeny bit

speaker-1 (27:05.614)
They would just have to step on everyone to get whatever we want whenever we wanted. I don't know who could that be.

speaker-0 (27:13.742)
Do we know people like that or person like that? No. This happened in Japan. Titi believes that yes indeed.

speaker-1 (27:16.846)
If you... I did this... Yes. I believe it's true.

speaker-1 (27:26.414)
because it happened in our solan...

speaker-0 (27:27.822)
Because of universal nastiness it knows no borders. Right. Right? Right. No nationality assigned to it whatsoever. It's one of those human things that... Well, T.T. Wow. You really did give this not a whole lot of thought. that's okay. That's okay because you're correct. Yay!

speaker-1 (27:33.959)
it's got no nationality.

speaker-1 (27:46.057)
Really.

speaker-0 (27:52.952)
This did indeed happen.

speaker-1 (27:55.638)
I mean, I'm not glad it happened. Yeah.

speaker-0 (27:59.106)
The cops eventually got wise to the scheme and arrested the asshole YouTubers. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep. So see vanquished. So there was justice delivered in that instance. See the bad people got their just desserts. See, just justice desserts, Yes. Correct. Number two.

speaker-1 (28:03.798)
Says that in the report?

speaker-0 (28:25.998)
A man claimed that more than a kilogram of cannabis was meant for a batch of homemade soup. A kilogram? A kilogram when he was caught by the pol-lease. He was making soup. This was in Ireland, by the way, if that makes a difference. Yes. In Ireland.

speaker-1 (28:42.926)
in the air.

Why would you?

speaker-0 (28:47.372)
Kilo more than a kilo More than a kilo

speaker-1 (28:49.55)
of anything into a soup. Okay, I'm gonna say that's kaka.

speaker-0 (28:55.566)
was about $31,000 worth of weed.

speaker-1 (28:58.56)
That's a lot of herb. Herb. Herb. Herb.

speaker-0 (29:01.55)
Herb. A little more than herbs of Provence.

speaker-1 (29:05.76)
It's it's yeah, that's a lot. I mean if you said I'm making soup for the next 50 years maybe but you know Making soup for 5,000 people. I don't know. I think it's okay to do TT TT

speaker-0 (29:19.64)
So toot, toot.

Cooop!

TT thinks that that did not happen. is kaka. Correctamundo, is that your correct assessment?

speaker-1 (29:34.478)
That is my assessment.

speaker-0 (29:37.048)
her assessment. So, well, you have continued your streak of splitting the difference because this really did happen. Yes.

speaker-1 (29:45.87)
my goodness!

speaker-0 (29:48.366)
An Irish resident is definitely the soup. After claiming that $31,000 worth of weed he had in his vehicle was merely meant as an ingredient for the soup he planned to make. In fact, after being caught with the substantial stash, he initially claimed that weed wasn't really weed at all.

He said the paste-like substance found inside a couple of cereal boxes was a completely different material than cannabis. explanation failed to convince the police, who had stopped the man and grew suspicious when they noticed a marijuana smell emanating from his car. So there you go.

speaker-1 (30:26.572)
Well, know, marijuana smell is... Some places, yeah, but in some places it's no longer a valid reason to stop and search a car.

speaker-0 (30:30.178)
Very distinct.

speaker-0 (30:37.016)
See now that's not why they stopped him. This was after the fact finding. So I don't know why they stopped him. I did not read or delve that deeply into it. I'm sorry. This was in good old Ireland.

speaker-1 (30:39.042)
That's true.

speaker-1 (30:44.44)
okay.

speaker-1 (30:51.33)
Good luck Ireland!

speaker-0 (30:52.734)
Ireland higher air higher

speaker-1 (30:56.022)
If he was high, could see how you might, if like in your in a panic say something that's stupid, you know, like

speaker-0 (31:03.502)
Okay, whatever wink wink Like I said not

speaker-1 (31:08.334)
I guess if you're...

Did he also have cereal boxes? Did it say cereal

speaker-0 (31:17.832)
Yeah, they found a it sounds like he had some hash or something in cereal boxes. So yeah, you know, like tomato paste, you know, you just sometimes you just need to go just a little bit or a lot. So well, let me know when he's going to open his soup kitchen will be there. So all righty. Another 5050 for you.

speaker-1 (31:22.285)
Okay.

speaker-1 (31:36.942)
the cereal. that's good. Right middle of road.

speaker-0 (31:44.586)
mid road. Very good. Congrats. I thought I had a birch. 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-0 (32:10.85)
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

speaker-0 (32:41.964)
So TeeTee, are you ready to add to the fuck it list this week?

speaker-1 (32:45.652)
Yes ma'am.

speaker-0 (32:48.044)
This is a group offering and it's recent, like within the last 18 hours. So it's hot off the presses. So last night I was able to go see a Motown show at the Troy Music Hall. Very nice venue.

speaker-1 (33:04.206)
It's a beautiful place.

speaker-0 (33:05.73)
Very cute place with Diane and Kathleen. But prior to that, we had a lovely little dinner and chat. We had an opportunity to have chat at Brown's Pruning Company. Lovely, lovely dining experience. So we had an opportunity to chat, chat, chat. So we were just talking about the toy musical, how beautiful it was, the acoustics, la-di-da. Commented about the egg because that was just re-refurbished. A multi-million dollar refurbishment. Last month it reopened.

And Kathleen just happened to remark that she had been there since the refurbishment because she went to see rock voices. So I said, my gosh, really? You went to that concert. I went to the rock voices concert in Saratoga. So I saw her, how I knew a couple of people who were singing in the choirs and blah, blah, went on and on and on back and forth. and Diane had not heard of rock voices. So we were filling her in on the details. And I said, you realize that it's, it's not an audition.

there are no auditions. Anybody can go to sing. And Diane said, my God, I love to sing. Could you just see me up there? I said, well, why not? don't we? You know, we all, love music. Why don't we, it doesn't matter if we can sing or not. And so I think the three of us are saying, fuck it. So what we can't sing. I think we're going to go sing.

speaker-1 (34:26.432)
hashtag is wonderful. Wonderful. I know singing is one of the best things you can do for your soul. I really think and it's I think there are health benefits as well.

speaker-0 (34:36.62)
Yeah, so I think this is something that we will be exploring. Well, yes. And so we attended this Motown show, Diana. Kathleen had her knee replaced, so she was moving around a lot because she was a little uncomfortable, to keep shifting around. And thank God there was room for her to do that. So was Diana next to one another. It wasn't sold out, but it was a pretty packed crowd.

speaker-1 (34:40.782)
I'm so proud of you.

speaker-0 (35:03.744)
You the songs were all songs we grew up with from Motown. The two of us singing at the top of our lungs. was just so much fun. Really, it was hysterical. And I'm just sitting there laughing like, yeah, let it go, baby. I mean, it was fun. So we might just do that.

We sang the sound of music in fifth grade. Because we sang the prelude that you rarely know. You hear the narrate the deep in the voices that urge me to stay. But I watch and I wait. I want one more sound for one more little thing. The hills might say. Right.

speaker-1 (35:40.545)
I stop and I listen

speaker-1 (35:45.57)
Over the

speaker-0 (35:53.602)
You never hear that though.

speaker-1 (35:55.278)
You know, I think they must have taught that in all the elementary schools because it's the same thing for us. And I had part of the, part that I had was the soprano where it would go. You had to do the... Oh, yes!

speaker-0 (36:10.658)
See?

speaker-1 (36:12.044)
They all have the same book, I guess.

speaker-0 (36:14.446)
Apparently, yes, the same. See, and that's how rock voices operates too. Every rock voices group does the same song. So you can go from one group to the other to the other and show up at a concert and sing with them.

speaker-1 (36:27.534)
I didn't know it was a national thing.

speaker-0 (36:30.274)
I'm really yes. Well, it is, but it's primarily in the Northeast. However, I think there might be a group starting in Chicago. I'm not sure. Little groups like sprout, sprout off. Yeah, so you can travel.

speaker-1 (36:43.778)
That would be so much fun. Do it, do it,

speaker-0 (36:46.038)
So people who sing and who practice and sing in Albany typically help out in Saratoga and vice versa. I mean, it was sold out at the egg. That show was sold out.

speaker-1 (36:56.366)
That's That's great. So much fun. Yeah, do it. You will have to report back to us.

speaker-0 (37:03.992)
Certainly and you've all heard my singing on on this podcast. So there's much to wait for. Mm-hmm. It's well worth well worth the wait for sure

speaker-1 (37:12.622)
That's right. That's right. Yeah.

speaker-0 (37:21.774)
Tee Tee, you got anything exciting going on this week?

speaker-1 (37:24.396)
Yes, my two sisters are coming on Tuesday. Two sisters on Tuesday. rectum mundo. With two dogs, so...

Pandemonium it will it'll be so much fun. So I have a few things to do to get ready for them to be here but other than that I

speaker-0 (37:45.964)
Where's honey going?

speaker-1 (37:48.398)
I know, right? Well, my sister's husband is going overseas somewhere. I forget where he's going, but for work. And so I said, honey, maybe you should go and stay with the dog or with the cats at his house. And honey was like, no, I wouldn't miss this for the world. So he loves us. We'll see. see after the first 15 minutes.

speaker-0 (38:02.584)

can't carry a tune in a bucket with a lid Can't hit a note with a baseball bat Lord knows I've tried I did I'm tone deaf

pancake hunt the shower asked me to stop and the showers gone but let me in the chorus let me in the chorus I've got spirit I've got volume I've got audacity galore sure my voice could curdle milk and peel the paint right off your wall but I signed up I showed up now you're stuck with me and all

Couldn't find a pitch if it was taped to my forehead Couldn't find a key if it was hanging from my neck My range is half a note and even that one's questionable Every dog within a mile starts howling something terrible Let me in the chorus, let me in the chorus I've got spirit, I've

I up, I showed up, now you're stuck with me and all

speaker-0 (40:35.662)
I sound like a rusty gate that's arguing with a cat Like a garbage disposal eating something wearing a hat The birds stopped singing when I start The frogs refused to crack The choir director crossed herself and muttered This is no joke Even auto-tune threw up the plans and quit My voice cracked glass and not the fancy Mammar X bit I sing sharp when it's flat

speaker-1 (40:55.138)
Hey

speaker-0 (41:03.416)
I sing flat when it's sharp I sound like someone strangling a harp They said blend in, I tried I stood out like a crime They said just mouth the words But my mouth can't even mine me The altos find the grievance The sopranos wrote a letter The tummids started drinking And the basses knew no better

could strip wallpaper, frighten livestock, curdle cheese I've been compared to breaks that need replacing if you please a wounded moose in me more musicality a smoke detector going off has more tonality but let me in the chorus, let me in the chorus I can't find a note, a pitch, a key, a chord, a clef I'm at me, plea confused and I'm heartically bereft

speaker-1 (41:36.672)
season has
