Drop us a line or two . . .Queenie and TT are recording this week's episode from the actual Cape Cod shoreline — specifically Days Cottages in North Truro, Massachusetts, sitting across from each other with water views and, apparently, a front-row seat to a squid situation nobody saw coming. It's a vacation episode, which means the conversation is looser, warmer, and occasionally derailed by birds doing cute things out the window. The nature content is genuinely impressive. The day before recording, Queenie's granddaughters stumbled onto what can only be described as a squid bonanza — hundreds of them washed up on the beach, apparently so abundant that the girls collected enough to sell to a local fishing vessel, the CJ out of Provincetown, and made actual money. Meanwhile, TT and crew joined a ranger-led walk on the tidal flats near the site of the Pilgrims' first landing on North American soil — a detail that lands with some weight once you realize you're standing on it. The ranger produced a live horseshoe crab for the group, which prompted a surprisingly earnest digression: horseshoe crabs have been around for roughly 450 million years (they landed on "50 million" in the moment, but the vibe was correct), their blue blood is harvested for medical use, and females of reproductive age are off-limits for harvesting out of conservation concern. The one they found was young — "only a million or two years old," Queenie noted, with complete sincerity. A live squid about 18 inches long was also spotted squiding through shallow water before the ranger nudged it back out to sea. TT's son mentioned that squid are "candy to stripers," which apparently is common fishing knowledge that neither host had previously retained. The moon snail also got its moment: TT's son found a clamshell with a perfect tiny hole drilled through it, and the ranger explained that moon snails have a specialized body part that functions like a literal drill. They bore into other shells and suck out the contents. Nature, as TT observed, is amazing. Queenie agreed, and the two briefly marveled at how everything in the natural world fits together — hand and glove — before noting that humans have spent a great deal of energy segmenting and ranking that system, mostly to put themselves at the top of it. "We are not the top of the food chain," Queenie said, with the confidence of someone who has spent the week watching horseshoe crabs and moon snails conduct their business unbothered. TT recalled an Onion headline about a dolphin developing opposable thumbs, with the tagline "fuck says humanity," and that was basically that. The first landing marker also generated some reflection. There's a concrete engraving on the far side of the monument acknowledging the Wampanoag people — who thrived in the area long before Europeans arrived and were subsequently, as Queenie put it plainly, "summarily exterminated or shoved aside." TT noted the inscription called for remembrance so history isn't repeated. Both hosts appreciated the acknowledgment, even while noting that as a culture, "we don't acknowledge shit." The conversation extended to the harshness of the conditions that greeted those early arrivals — winter winds in Truro that routinely hit 50 miles an hour, bad enough that you can't open a car door. TT's sister is looking at a condo in the area, and a year-round resident supplied that cheerful detail during due diligence. Cannabis check-in: TT is running a performance gummy — caffeinated, with yerba mate, electrolytes, guarana, THC-V (filed under "vigor"), and CBG, full spectrum, fast-acting, solventless. It's designed for power, stamina, and endurance. The first time she took it, she napped. She is optimistic this will not happen again today, as there is a sailboat — the Envy the Bay — to launch. Queenie is on Off Hours Orange Aid, an awakening energy sour gummy, nano-enhanced, 10:2 THC to THC-V ratio, made in Rochester, New York. The tin is orange. She ate a whole one instead of the recommended half. They are both theoretically vimmed and vigored and ready to get that boat in the water. Wait, What? this week delivered "calf hair harassment" — a real and apparently escalating workplace issue in Japan, where the introduction of a climate-adaptive dress code (shorts for office workers, due to soaring heat) has led some women to formally object to the sight of men's leg hair, which they've characterized as visual harassment. A survey by a men's beauty salon found 53.5% of female respondents opposed men wearing shorts at work. The 2020 Goo web portal survey (yes, that's the name) ranked men's summer habits women disliked most, with visible nipples through shirts topping the list, followed by sweat stains, strong cologne, sandals with socks, prominent bellies, tank tops, and, of course, calf hair. The result: more Japanese men are pursuing laser hair removal not for personal preference but out of workplace propriety. Queenie and TT's verdict was pretty unified: calling leg hair harassment minimizes actual harassment, it's intolerant, and also, TT comes from an Italian family, so the whole premise was somewhat unworkable from the jump. TT's former boss did once institute a "no man toes" rule at the office — open-toed sandals for men were banned — but that turned out to be aimed at one specific attorney with sandals and hairy toes, which is a slightly different situation. The segment ended with a genuine question for listeners: would you find calf hair harassing in the workplace? The hosts have clearly already decided. TT's Choice landed on #14: one perfect high a week, or a mild pleasant buzz every day. TT initially went with the daily mild buzz, reasoning it would be nice to be mellowed out consistently. Then she reconsidered. The high hard one was not adequately accounted for in her initial answer. She may have been "a little too hasty." No final ruling was issued. The Fuck It List entry this week came from TT: she is officially adding "being responsible for everyone's happiness" back onto the list, having caught herself defaulting to full caretaker mode while hosting family at the cottage — making sure everyone was fed, happy, having fun, not thirsty. She knows better. She has said this on the podcast. She did it anyway. Queenie's take was compassionate and correct: TT has layered imprints on this place — as a child here with her own parents, as a mother bringing her kids here for years — and those grooves run deep. It doesn't mean she has to stay in them. The note that resonated: when we scramble to make everyone happy, we might actually be putting quiet pressure on them to perform happiness back at us. It's a fuck it directed inward. Her grown-ass men are fine. She knows this. Fuck it.
