Unfiltered Midlife Moments & Cannabis Wisdom | So Tweedley-Dee, Tweedley-Dum

This episode kicks off mid-chaos, as all the best ones do. Queenie's smoking a Triangle Kush pre-roll from Ghost ("it's an Indica — very nice") and TT has accidentally consumed 25 milligrams of passion fruit gummy thinking it was maybe a half of a 20. She's boarding a 5:30 a.m. flight to come see Queenie, a flight that somehow routes through Atlanta and somehow cost her $81 more than advertised because she didn't realize clicking seats wasn't free. The airlines are a grift, Spirit is dead, and — naturally — it's Biden's fault.Which leads, as all conversations apparently do, directly to Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Al Gore, Watergate, and the complete collapse of civics education in America. The women agree: we haven't recovered from Watergate and younger people probably don't know what it is, and here we are. TT brings the news segment, reporting on the DEA rescheduling saga — cannabis going from Schedule I to Schedule III — with the Johns Hopkins/University of San Diego analysis of nearly 50,000 public comments showing most people felt the move didn't go nearly far enough. Descheduling is the word on the street, and a new comment period is open. They also wade briefly into the psychedelics conversation, genuinely puzzled about how mushrooms got in the policy fast lane while cannabis has been grinding for 50 years. Then things get... existential. TT casually drops that her breakfast friends are considering purchasing firearms because they're worried America is heading toward Mad Max territory. Queenie's jaw hits the floor. A real, surprisingly tender conversation follows about fear, scarcity mentality, whether humanity trends toward cooperation or self-preservation, the American Revolution as a civil war, the London Blitz, Sophie's Choice, and — somehow — whether dogs get a better afterlife than people (they clearly do, and TT would prefer to go where the dogs go). The Fuck It segment delivers a listener submission: saying fuck it to tolerating racist, homophobic, or just plain nasty relatives and acquaintances who've gotten newly emboldened. The consensus: read the room, keep your hands to yourself, and if you can't be respectful, don't say anything at all. The episode closes with two absolute banger original songs — one about the hosts' prepper neighbors with their freeze-dried everything and ham radios, and the other a midlife manif

Hi there, join our casual conversations for curious, bewildered and aspiring midlife cannabis queens. Welcome to Disco Queen podcast featuring Queenie and Titi. So take off your platform shoes, sit back and get ready to laugh and learn all about adult use cannabis without having to ask a 22 year old. Let's get rolling.

speaker-1 (00:13.006)
Was it?

speaker-0 (00:33.294)
You might as say hello.

speaker-1 (00:35.842)
Queenie, it's been 25

speaker-0 (00:40.73)
I'll go back and you can weave it in. Yep. Yep. If need be. Yes. So you're on the eve of coming. I am.

speaker-1 (00:53.422)
Yes ma'am, I'm excited. I will be there by lunchtime tomorrow. And then Friday night we'll have a special party, our spring fling, and we're going to be flinging some weed at people. Our friends at Healthy Honey are sending us some stuff that we can share with our party goers to enjoy together.

speaker-0 (00:57.606)
That is so great.

Good night.

speaker-0 (01:11.594)
Swinging some weed.

speaker-1 (01:22.894)
They get to explore a little bit if they're new to this.

speaker-0 (01:26.188)
Very much looking forward to that. had our training last week. That went very well. Very informative. So we're ready. I'm being summoned.

speaker-1 (01:33.322)
Yes, you are. Did you need to leave? I heard that.

speaker-0 (01:36.194)
just need to open the door.

speaker-1 (01:51.266)
What have you consumed today?

speaker-0 (01:53.858)
Not enough. I can tell you that right off the rip. Whatever it is, it hasn't been enough. currently smoking a pre-rolled joint. This is an Indica from Ghost. I know it's cool, huh? It's cool. So Ghost and it's yeah, it's called Triangle Kush.

speaker-1 (02:06.824)
I like that box.

speaker-1 (02:13.952)
Okay, and you said it's an indica?

speaker-0 (02:15.638)
It's an IndyCar. Yes. Very nice.

speaker-1 (02:17.678)
Well, have consumed a passion fruit gummy from the big ass bag. I'm getting low on them, but, I was thinking, these are, you know, maybe it's only a half cause it's 20 milligrams. And I was like, yeah, I'm going to go to bed early tonight. And then I looked at the bag and each one is 25 milligrams. So, so good right now.

speaker-0 (02:37.888)
I'm like a babe. time is your flight?

speaker-1 (02:43.822)
We board at 5.30 a.m.

speaker-0 (02:47.436)
Yeah. Coming through Chi town.

speaker-1 (02:49.682)
through Atlanta. I'm flying American. Atlanta.

speaker-0 (02:52.608)
Atlanta. Yes, that makes perfect sense.

speaker-1 (02:56.622)
I know, it's so dumb, isn't it? I usually like to go to... Well, it was a lot cheaper. Although, okay, I'm such a moron sometimes. So I'm making all my arrangements and I go to pick my seat and I'm like, okay, pick, pick, pick. And we get to the end and this flight was, I was like, this is a great deal. It's only 329 for this flight. And I get to the end and I'm checking out and I go, wait a minute. I get all checked out. go, why was this $410? And I was like, wow, those fees are getting really high.

So I look and I paid to pick three of my seats. Apparently I paid when I was choosing them. I didn't know there was a price tag associated with the choice. So anyway, at least I have an assigned seat for three of the four flights.

speaker-0 (03:41.326)
kidding me? You pay for an assigned seat?

speaker-1 (03:44.0)
Apparently I should have just, you know, skip skip skip but anyway, yeah.

speaker-0 (03:48.62)
winged it, so to speak. Wow.

speaker-1 (03:50.914)
You be careful. I'm telling you, they're nickel and diamond you did death on these airlines.

speaker-0 (03:56.02)
Awful. Well, Spirit just... Stop. They're done. Yeah. And it's Biden's fault.

speaker-1 (03:58.702)
Right, they're done.

speaker-1 (04:03.864)
Of it is. course it is. Everything is. Well, no. Him and Obama. Hillary Clinton. I love that somehow Hillary Clinton has become a worse target than her husband, the philanderer. Somehow she's, yeah. I saw a picture of Kamala and Hillary together. And I was like, it's a

speaker-0 (04:17.272)
She's all powerful.

speaker-0 (04:24.59)
Yeah.

speaker-1 (04:32.33)
I think the captions said something like, what would the world be like if these two had been in power?

speaker-0 (04:38.894)
Can't even wind it back to begin to imagine.

speaker-1 (04:45.55)
Well, even Al Gore, you know, that was hanging chads in the dimple.

speaker-0 (04:51.706)
No, the beginning was really Roy again. That's... Yeah. Now, I'm gonna go back and say Carter, that whole pardoning shit. Yeah. no, that was Ford. Then you gotta go back to... Well, Nixon then. Literally, we haven't recovered from Watergate. I think, you know, you could really... Don't... Never... Watergate. my god.

speaker-1 (04:53.838)
That's true. That's true.

speaker-1 (05:01.826)
Alright. That was four, yeah.

speaker-1 (05:07.202)
Yeah.

We sound old. We should never be covered from water. I don't even know if young people know what watercated is.

speaker-0 (05:18.286)
What are you talking about? guess you had to be there. guess that's part of problem. Well, was, you know, our formative years while we're attending school, our superior civics education.

speaker-1 (05:25.134)
for very young children.

speaker-1 (05:29.602)
Mm-hmm.

and learning about. Exactly, well, at least we had civics education. I don't even know if it. The kids these days.

speaker-0 (05:37.879)
I know.

speaker-0 (05:42.252)
No, I have civics class. know, but I did. read an article today about what was it? Was it CNN? Someone interviewed people who had voted for Trump and just asked them a very objective questions. And, know, some of the, some of the answers were, know, like ridiculous. then, then some of the comments from people were like, good to know that younger people know.

how our government functions. doubt people even know there are three branches of government. You're like, God, it's true. Because some of these things that people were coming out with.

speaker-1 (06:20.974)
Yeah, I think that was a big mistake to get rid of civics. It's so important for us to know and I even know I'd like it confused about some stuff, you know

speaker-0 (06:30.902)
Right. No, mean, that is so critical to understanding, especially. I don't know. Do you think are we so into this to really people give a shit? Do most people really give a shit or are we like just so consumed with this? I think.

speaker-1 (06:44.738)
I don't know because I think about a lot of people didn't even vote. So if they don't care enough to vote, do they care what's happening now or are they even aware of it? I don't know.

speaker-0 (06:55.202)
That's a good question. Like, you know, are we spinning our wheels? I don't know.

speaker-1 (06:59.374)
We're definitely spinning our wheels, but when we are each doing what we can in our own way to contribute.

speaker-0 (07:06.318)
striving for a more perfect union.

speaker-1 (07:09.186)
There you go. Blah, blah, blah. Not that it was ever perfect. Never was perfect.

speaker-0 (07:14.38)
because I, I watch, sorry, the Revolutionary War, thing with Ken Burns, then listening to this book, and I've been reading more and more because we're at the 250th anniversary of the articles that are being written now, highlighting the racism, the misogyny, just the downright outright cruelty of the times. you know that this wasn't a

glorified, you know, higher calling kind of thing. It was driven by greed and power. There was an article this morning, pretty much promoting it was a battle somewhere. And someone was like, why are we promoting the violence associated with the birth of our country? Why is that something that's being, you know, praised and glorified?

speaker-1 (08:06.862)
Well, was, what was I, I don't know, I was watching a TV show and it showed them doing, oh, I know, I think it was The Pit. It showed them doing fireworks. And there was one woman in a hijab who couldn't watch and she was hurt. It was traumatizing, yeah. And I mean, that's what, you know.

speaker-0 (08:23.15)
She was scared.

speaker-0 (08:28.398)
Well, that's what it symbolizes, symbolizes the bursting of bombs. Right. This is war.

speaker-1 (08:31.084)
Right, the Rockets.

speaker-1 (08:35.859)
That's why I always thought that America the Beautiful would be a better national anthem, you know, but no one asked.

speaker-0 (08:41.649)
America. They... Yeah, well, yeah, they don't ask, so I don't know. It's a very interesting time, I suppose. can look at it that way. If you choose to look at it at all, I guess it's the bottom line. There you go. It's, you know, so far-righty.

speaker-0 (09:04.718)
BT tell me the news where is it legal

speaker-0 (09:45.87)
Speaking of which, do you have a story for us this week?

speaker-1 (09:49.454)
We have a story this week. So this week, I want to report back on the move from schedule three to schedule one. let's see, I'm sorry, one to three. It went down from a one to a three. And in response to that, there was an analysis done by the, oh, here it is. Okay.

So Johns Hopkins University and the University of San Diego classified different responses. When the DEA was asking for comments, remember back then they were waiting to hear comments from people. Well, there were like almost 50,000 comments. And so they went back and they analyzed the comments and they determined that the majority of people feel like it didn't go far enough. The vast majority that.

speaker-0 (10:42.946)
But just the rescheduling wasn't enough.

speaker-1 (10:45.826)
Well, the rescheduling of just medical wasn't enough. And some people felt like it shouldn't even be on the schedule, that it should be, you know, right off the schedule. Yeah, yeah, descheduled. So anyway, so this, this information is hopefully going to inform the next step, which would make sense to be, of course, sense has nothing to do with things these days, but it make sense for us to also have schedule three, woof.

to schedule one or one to three. I get so confused. I'm sorry. Yeah.

speaker-0 (11:18.198)
So wuh.

speaker-1 (11:20.576)
I'm a little lost myself.

speaker-0 (11:23.886)
Pull it back. Do you have more to say? No. Done? No, you're done. So just so the comments basically have stated that things didn't go far enough. so so there's something happens with that. That ideation or not is yet to be seen.

speaker-1 (11:27.768)
done. Okay.

speaker-1 (11:35.022)
Exactly.

speaker-1 (11:41.954)
Well, I think because right now we're in the process of having another comments time period.

speaker-0 (11:48.108)
Okay, so it really resets the whole.

speaker-1 (11:49.73)
that this right, but also I think this information that was analyzed and pulled together is going to be useful in this comment round.

speaker-1 (12:01.462)
Right. Right. If that makes sense to me.

speaker-0 (12:06.038)
So things just grind on. Yes, they do. It's forward movement.

speaker-1 (12:11.65)
Mermendum. Yep, it is. going forward.

speaker-0 (12:15.532)
And then, know, whatever's going on with the psychedelics, have done zero research on that because there wasn't the first order to accelerate the approval of the use of psychedelics. Interesting. who was asking for this? But you know, mean, we've been at Grime and Grann and I'm sure this, the mushrooms, they've been around forever too. They're natural, whole deal. But there's just been

speaker-1 (12:20.216)
Yeah.

speaker-1 (12:35.512)
Nothing is yet.

speaker-0 (12:45.514)
so much about weed and it's such a significant cultural touchstone. How did psychedelics squeeze in here and how did it get moving along so quickly?

speaker-1 (12:57.036)
I think maybe one of the reasons is because people with certain mental health conditions, it seems like nothing works. But there's like promise that this could work for those people, know, people with schizophrenia and people with personality disorders and you know, some other.

speaker-0 (13:14.562)
So what has been used that the the the it's been anecdotal. Yeah. Anything that we know at this point is because because right not legal to write in the same vein as can. Right. Okay. Just just wondering where this is.

speaker-1 (13:33.71)
I know. Let's get a lot of press. A lot of press. Well, maybe that's why, because it's new. It's not the same old story, you know? People have been fighting for the last 40 years. 50. 50 years.

speaker-0 (13:49.262)
We'll have to see. I think, what was it? Late 40s, early 50s?

speaker-1 (13:59.498)
Was that reef for madness? Was like, geez, I think.

speaker-0 (14:02.262)
Yeah, yeah. So, alrighty then. Thank you, TT. We'll keep, we'll see what happens. Who knows? knows? We could all be shooting heroin by next week. Very. Right. Everybody could, yeah.

speaker-1 (14:38.847)
Are you?

speaker-0 (14:40.334)
you

sing of my

speaker-1 (14:46.851)
done

speaker-0 (14:47.922)
you

speaker-0 (14:59.342)
I'm queeeen

speaker-1 (15:14.434)
I went out with some friends for breakfast this morning and we're talking about three of the four of us of them. No, no, no. I had considered purchasing a firearm.

speaker-0 (15:27.542)
That was my mouth just dropping open.

speaker-1 (15:29.454)
And they have, apparently there's some very high tech ones now that don't kill people. Cause that was one of my things saying I don't want to be responsible for killing anyone. But just then they said, well, what if you were, someone was coming in and you know, was after your children or your grandchildren or now wouldn't you want to protect them? Because people are so freaked out by what's happening in this country that we're worried it's going to be like Mad Max out there.

speaker-0 (15:55.286)
Isn't that kind of assured if we all run out and purchase firearms? Wow. How do you feel about this?

speaker-1 (15:58.402)
Yes.

Slender Dome.

I was the one dissenting vote.

speaker-0 (16:07.618)
the one and only I women are all attendees.

speaker-1 (16:09.841)
I said I

All attendees there are two women and one man and me. I should have counted myself with

speaker-0 (16:17.806)
Wait you were you one of the two women of three okay.

speaker-1 (16:21.908)
I want to. Anyway, OK, I said I don't want I. I said I wanted two things could happen. I'd freak out and I, you know, drop it and probably shoot myself or I would just. Blast away at everything. I don't know. It could go either way. So.

speaker-0 (16:37.39)
Mr.

speaker-0 (16:41.71)
She's going off her nut folks. Just don't think. She's lost her shit, so to speak. Don't think that. That was. She's out there playing Rambo in the streets. OK, here's another question. OK. Were these people purchasing, considering purchasing said weaponry with the idea that they'd be using said weaponry to defend themselves from fellow Americans? Yes. Wow.

speaker-1 (16:48.344)
There should be a fireherman.

speaker-1 (17:10.22)
Yes. Yeah.

speaker-0 (17:11.906)
That's mm-hmm. Mm. Okay. Well.

speaker-1 (17:14.7)
Well, you know, when things get scarce, food and water and, you know, people become animals.

speaker-0 (17:21.366)
Things have happened through the at various points of time. There have been scarce resources and the first instinct of most people has not been, I'm going to blow you the fuck away before you can blow me away. Think back to London during World War II. How much more scary could that have been with bombs dropping every night and not having enough food, water, whatever. Things were scarce.

don't recall hearing about Londoners like killing anything in sight that came near them just thinking, I'm a

speaker-1 (17:56.814)
you know what though, because the enemy wasn't right at their door. Do you know what I'm saying? So I think it if it gets down to I don't know, I don't know. I mean, I think I think there's just as many, probably more instances in history where people have just taken advantage of whatever the unfortunate situation is and enrich themselves somehow.

speaker-0 (18:01.486)
Mm-hmm.

speaker-0 (18:19.448)
Yeah, that's history. That's the way I do believe though, we maybe I'm too high now to really, I thought we were kind of heading in that trajectory where, we were going away from that, that people could live, you know, autonomously and side by side and harmony and see harmony with our environment and being mindful of the future and

speaker-1 (18:38.882)
We started thinking that.

speaker-1 (18:43.352)
Right, right, right.

speaker-0 (18:49.173)
inclusive

speaker-1 (18:50.334)
We were trying. So how, why are we here now? Because there are so many people who are not thinking about that stuff. They're thinking about if he gets more, that means I get less. That's what they're thinking. So there's a lot of those people out there. That's why we have the president we have now. So I would like to think that people would be collaborative and cooperative and you know, but I don't have faith as much faith as you do.

speaker-0 (18:52.568)
What?

speaker-1 (19:19.982)
in that after what we're seeing, especially the last 20 years.

speaker-0 (19:25.292)
sobering. you know, again, not to beat a dead horse, the revolution, know, there were Americans who were loyalists and, you know, patriots. Could be your brother, could be your sister. It was a civil freaking war and people were taking sides. Right. Right. And if you were under the wrong flag, guess what? was, it was

speaker-1 (19:35.33)
yeah.

speaker-1 (19:51.694)
You

speaker-0 (19:51.983)
Free pass so thanks because you had your you're threatening me, you know again it was I'm gonna take you out before you take me out

speaker-1 (20:00.514)
Well, isn't that what war is? Isn't that essentially what war is? It's ridiculous. It's such a...

speaker-0 (20:07.214)
Winning by who's losing. Less, I guess. Less attrition. Because there's always going to be attrition. That's the idea. So whoever is less depleted, I guess, wins.

speaker-1 (20:14.446)
take people out.

speaker-1 (20:19.512)
So, I mean, given that, I can see why people might want to arm themselves, but, you know, I don't. Although, I mean, you know, if I saw horrible things being done to the people I love, and I thought I might have prevented that if I hadn't done, would feel regretful, I think. Maybe. I don't know. You know what's weird is that we're even thinking about this shit in other than just a science fiction-y kind of way.

speaker-0 (20:40.654)
it

Yeah, it is. But here's where my mind goes. If, God forbid, you know, that scenario ever began to play out, bye bye.

speaker-1 (20:51.342)
Yeah, I know. You know, that's the other thing. I didn't want to too depressed, but I'm like, hey, I've lived a great

speaker-0 (20:59.886)
I'm not fighting any shit off. Now if my kids were here that's a different story, but it's me and him. I know. And you know, it's crap shoot whether he'd look for me or not, I don't know. But go either way at this point, I think. And he probably feels the same way. That would not be the first

speaker-1 (21:03.106)
Right.

speaker-1 (21:09.998)
Yeah.

speaker-1 (21:21.982)
instinct. That would not be your first instinct.

speaker-0 (21:25.774)
It's like, no, I shouldn't say that. think, you know, residing in the same home, you kind of hope. Well, you know, that courtesy.

speaker-1 (21:33.902)
Yeah.

speaker-1 (21:38.208)
I think there might be more concern for the dog at this point.

speaker-0 (21:41.87)
Oh god, yes. Yes. I could just see him riding the dog out of the house. Settle up! Bye! We're out of here. Yeah, we're safe. free. Oh, thank god. Yep, Teddy and I'll just burrow in and I'll say one, two, three, Ted. Hold your breath. Here we go. Going on a trip. Bitch. Yeah, we'll cross it together, baby. Yeah, I'm putting up with that shit.

speaker-1 (22:02.72)
The rainbow

speaker-1 (22:07.31)
You know, I think I'd rather cross the rainbow bridge than go to people have I don't know I Feel like I only ever hear about dogs going across the rainbow bridge. I don't hear about anything else. So they must have a special

speaker-0 (22:11.807)
Do you think there's a choice? you think there's like an off ramp?

speaker-0 (22:24.344)
need to have a separate euphemism for pets. We really value pets much more than we do humans.

speaker-1 (22:27.4)
Okay, because.

speaker-1 (22:32.672)
Right?

speaker-0 (22:34.35)
To make more palatable to lose a pet. Something joyful awaits them. Of course, they're not integrated into our heaven,

speaker-1 (22:45.176)
They're apparently not. See, that's why I'd rather go to their heaven.

speaker-0 (22:48.416)
Maybe they just have to go over the bridge and we've got a direct access. Maybe, you know, they got to pay a toll or something. Who knows? We just stay in the express lane, express lane and we're, we're out of here. Boom. Who knows? So thanks for that story. I don't even know how the fuck, what the hell are we talking about that we got off on that?

speaker-0 (23:11.022)
We're gonna play either or would you rather what if with would if would if Pick a number between 1 and 75 do not pick the number you chose last week. You seem to remember what it is Yeah, I can look it's okay

speaker-1 (23:36.342)
I think I do not. I think it was 32.

speaker-0 (23:40.494)
It was 32. anything up to 31, and then 33 to 75. free. 64. says, let's see what 64 brings us. This is an either or, or either or, whichever you prefer or either neither nor. So pick either or would you want every song you've ever loved replaced by elevator music?

speaker-1 (23:49.902)
64.

speaker-1 (24:00.643)
be either one.

speaker-1 (24:15.21)
Vader music or every meal replaced by rice.

speaker-0 (24:21.176)
Boy, that's brutal. Glad I don't have to answer this.

speaker-1 (24:24.75)
a very unattractive scenario. Well, I think I would choose to give up all my favorite songs. I think I would rather be able to eat would be a Well, and here's my reasoning. Because even though

elevator music sucks. It's still music and you can take it and improvise with it. You could sing along with it. You could, you know, whatever. You could try and remember all the words to your favorite songs with it, you know, but so you're you at least have some access. But if all you ever got to eat was rice, you'd lose all that other sensory stimulation, you know, so.

speaker-0 (25:11.264)
not necessarily for the sustenance.

speaker-1 (25:14.307)
no no no no! good lord no!

speaker-0 (25:16.896)
It's a purely sensual experience. understand.

speaker-1 (25:20.822)
Yeah, yeah. How about you? What would you pick?

speaker-0 (25:23.412)
I have to agree with you. think the exact same reasons. think music, music, elevator music, not my first pick ever. But as you said, it is whatever your definition of music is. And it could be a springboard to further creativity, I suppose, as you said. But yeah, I could not give up. No, I could not give up. I could not just eat rice. I absolutely could not. could.

speaker-1 (25:52.898)
You couldn't, I don't, well, you probably for a while, but.

speaker-0 (25:54.872)
No, I-

way too much enjoyment from food. enjoyed eating about the variety, the taste, the textures, how it's prepared, the whole deal, how it's prepared.

speaker-1 (26:02.446)
Just the variety.

speaker-1 (26:10.678)
Right, the rituals, yeah.

speaker-0 (26:12.886)
Yeah, I know I couldn't do the rice thing. So I think we're

speaker-1 (26:16.706)
think we would find ways of making our own instruments and you know, I think that would all happen again.

speaker-0 (26:21.624)
again? Possibly. Well, yes. You have to assume that

speaker-1 (26:25.74)
It's just not, don't have, but that's what I, yeah, I mean, that's what I'm assuming, but maybe it was that you can't even create your own.

speaker-0 (26:32.91)
Well, I guess you know all that we can consider so but I too much too much for the old. Mm-hmm. Tommity tum-tum No, no, no, no good way to even come close to That was an interesting one. Mm-hmm. Hmm. I'm thinking now, doesn't it? Where do you put your priority?

speaker-1 (27:06.543)
I never saw that.

speaker-0 (27:10.85)
You've never seen Sophie's Choice? No.

speaker-1 (27:12.622)
I know what it's about. I've seen, you know, for dismissing for it, but I don't know. I know it was very powerful.

speaker-0 (27:16.369)
I don't know if I could watch it again.

speaker-0 (27:21.454)
Mm-hmm. Maybe enough time's gone by and I, you know, the mind is soft enough, you know, wouldn't be as... Yeah. It'll be like a whole new experience for me.

speaker-1 (27:31.15)
It might be even more so because it feels almost like we're moving in that direction ourselves, you know? Good Lord. It does feel that way though. I that's not just conspiracy theory. It's history.

speaker-0 (27:37.038)
Mmm.

speaker-0 (27:42.606)
History does tend to repeat itself as I hear. So they say. They say. Do tell. Now I just, it's dire times. So get high. So get high. Yes, like us. We don't care now. We don't even remember what we're talking about. See? Momentary bliss. That's a good part. Little escape. Little teeny escape.

speaker-1 (27:52.632)
Bye.

speaker-1 (28:03.278)
or a scoop.

speaker-0 (28:11.074)
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 regret it 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 grind for Hill to die on with Queenie and TT The bucket list lives on!

So Titi, what are we gonna talk about this week on our Fuck It list?

speaker-1 (29:05.144)
We did have one of our listeners get in touch with us and tell us that she is saying, it, to putting up with relatives who are inappropriate and or unkind.

speaker-0 (29:22.828)
Yes, I will. Okay. Yes. We don't have to put up with that. Right. No. No creeps. No creeps allowed. I those days are well over. They're over.

speaker-1 (29:27.95)
Creepy in any way.

speaker-1 (29:34.03)
people making racist, homophobic comments.

speaker-0 (29:37.327)
We don't need any of that. Not in your own home.

speaker-1 (29:41.898)
Calling them on it. We need to call them on it. Not just put up with it, but call them on it.

speaker-0 (29:47.308)
That I was just going to say and it shouldn't just be in our homes. know, if someone starts being like a jerk. Right. I'm I'm I'm I'm I'm down with that. I'm going to say fuck it with that because you know what?

speaker-1 (29:51.712)
up to dinner or whatever.

speaker-1 (30:04.578)
It feels like, you know, and it feels like people somehow have gotten emboldened to, yeah, to just to say things out loud that, you know, to

speaker-0 (30:12.204)
Yeah. Shoot. Be like this. behave.

You wouldn't normally say. Well...

speaker-1 (30:22.402)
think part of it too is that it's horrifying to see what people put on social media. The comments at news, you know, news stories, you go into the comments. It's, it's horrific.

speaker-0 (30:29.262)
That's true.

speaker-0 (30:36.546)
Yeah, think we should yeah, maybe just fuck it to bad bad behavior. Yeah, I'm up with with bad behavior or you know people who are just purposely being Nasty right verbally right or inappropriate when it's you know, it's not funny

speaker-1 (30:53.998)
It's not funny. say that we don't use that kind of language. I don't appreciate you using that kind of language.

speaker-0 (31:01.406)
But I don't want to listen to that at all. I don't want that in my in my being right? know you can't be respectful, right? Don't say anything. Bye. Bye. Yeah, didn't your mother tell you if you can't say anything nice? Don't say anything at all. And I think that goes. Yeah, goes here perfectly well.

speaker-1 (31:20.002)
Well, you know, what's interesting is there's I learned these three, three questions, you know, that you ask before you act or speak. And the first is, and if it goes, if there's like three gates, if it gets past all three great gates, then say it, is it true? Right.

speaker-0 (31:29.678)
Mm-hmm.

speaker-0 (31:36.906)
Mm-hmm. well, okay. There's there's a big one. There's a big one to leap over. Mm-hmm

speaker-1 (31:44.662)
Is it helpful?

speaker-0 (31:47.255)
Okay.

speaker-1 (31:50.894)
Is it, I can't remember the third one. Is it true? it helpful? No, is it, is it going to, um, positively impact the world or something like that? So yeah, is it true? Is it helpful? Cause sometimes we say things and we're thinking, it's like, didn't need to hear that. Why did, why did that person tell me such a thing? That just doesn't make sense that you even told me that.

speaker-0 (31:53.486)
Music.

speaker-0 (32:12.911)
That's true. That's true. Yeah.

speaker-0 (32:18.478)
Well, that sounds very similar. Now I'm going to embarrass myself, but that sounds very similar to the rotary four way test. As a rotarian, you're asked to evaluate and assess situations, people's words, know, basically under four different variables. know, I guess it's being mindful.

speaker-1 (32:25.611)
Okay, yeah.

speaker-0 (32:42.326)
Right. Doesn't you can be mindful. Mindfulness covers a lot. Yeah. So read the room. Yeah. Read the room, folks. You know, not everybody wants to be it thinks physical humor is funny. Right. Not everybody thinks off color jokes or words are funny or appropriate.

speaker-1 (33:06.22)
No, we're not being Puritans

speaker-0 (33:10.046)
god no. Well you know we're not. For this thing from it, no. But... There's a place.

speaker-1 (33:16.418)
But yeah, we. There's.

There should be a modicum of respect that people pay to each other. All human.

speaker-0 (33:29.098)
to be yes respect yourself act risk be kind yes and don't don't violate other people's space their physical space their intellectual space their emotional space keep your hands to yourself

Neighbors built a bunker underneath the shed They've got a year of canned goods and a library they've read On how to skin a rabbit and purify a stream They haven't been the target since 2017

They got gas masks for the family and the dog has one, two, a ham radio, a crossbow and a homeschool waterloo. They rotate stock like Costco with a military flair and they side eye my grocery cart like I just don't care. The preppers next door are ready for the end. Gotta generate a 50 flashlights and a will to dis-

Teen types of jerky and a bucket full of rice And I'm over here with half a lemon and some expired spice They're ready for the apocalypse I'm not ready for tomorrow She asked me once, what's your plan if the grid goes down I said cry, probably then walk to town She handed me a pamphlet and a freeze-dried sample pack I ate it in the driveway cause I thought it was a snack

Their kids can start a fire with a stick and some lint My kids can't find their shoes and that's my daily squint When the power went out last February Guess who knocked on their door? With a phone at 2 % and absolutely nothing more The preppers next door are ready for the end I'm ready for a nap and an Uber Eats to send They've got a bunker full of everything they need And I've got a junkyard full of menus and some weed They'll survive

the apocalypse I'll survive the afternoon and if the whole world falls apart I'm knocking on their door by noon
