Bug-Eyed, Asthmatic ASMR
AI Hallucinated This Transcript.
Hosts Beck and Dash chat on Queernecks about returning to a boxing gym, favorite salty-sweet snacks, novelty candies, and hometown-made products (BG Campbell’s/Heinz, Portsmouth shoelaces, Cincinnati schnapps). They swap train stories, including meeting recently released prisoners on an Amtrak ride to Chicago and observing re-entry moments and public-transportation dynamics. The conversation shifts to martial arts, nostalgia TV (Cobra Kai), and a critique of right-wing grift and “reverse racism,” then broadens into religion, atheism, church-based community, safe spaces, anti-trans politics, gerrymandering, and voting rights. A comedic sponsor bit covers raggedy flip-flops, followed by personal relationship and work-life balance talk. The “noun of Appalachian interest” spotlights the Appalachian Mountains’ age, culture, directions, and lasting identity, with side notes on Kentucky’s Chain Rock, Serpent Mound, Tecumseh drama, and Krispy Kreme donuts.

Beck (2): Welcome to Queernecks,
the podcast that puts the
2
:yehaw in y'all means all.
3
:I'm your host, Beck.
4
:Dash: And I am your host, Dash.
5
:Welcome to today's episode
6
:. Mm, happy Saturday.
7
:Beck (2): Yes.
8
:It is Saturday.
9
:Shanna's working till 4:00, so I'm just
here waiting on my lunch to get here.
10
:Dash: What,
11
:Beck (2): What, what
Oh, I'm waiting on her.
12
:Like, she'll bring my lunch.
13
:Dash: got it.
14
:Beck (2): Oh, okay.
15
:She usually gets off at 2:00, and
so I eat around 2:30, but she won't
16
:be home till after 4:00 today, so
my tummy is like, "Arr, arr, arr."
17
:Dash: I went back to...
18
:So this boxing gym I used to go
to, it's, like, over an hour drive.
19
:It's like an hour and 15-minute
drive where I live now.
20
:I used to go to it when I was
living up in, up on campus.
21
:But I s- and I had bought,
like, a punch card.
22
:That's how they do it, and I had
a bunch of punches left, and I was
23
:like, "Well, I'm not doing anything."
24
:easier to drive the truck longer
distances than it was the car, so
25
:it's, like, it doesn't hurt as much.
26
:So I s- started going back n-
not to, like, the main class,
27
:but just they do this, like,
circuit training fitness class.
28
:So I've gone back to it a few
times, and it's nice to, like,
29
:basically just move around.
30
:And I told her, I was like, "Look, here's
the, here's what I've had going on.
31
:I'm not gonna be, hitting it
100%," and stuff like that.
32
:Just wanna move around and be around
people and, you know, be, be around
33
:something that I actually enjoy.
34
:And she was like, "Yeah, whatever.
35
:I don't care."
36
:But do
37
:Beck (2): I- There's
38
:Dash: out," and so I'll get, like,
a giant bag of pretzels and, like,
39
:maybe a candy bar or, those, you
know those, uh, dipped pr- pretzels?
40
:Beck (2): my current obsession.
41
:Dash: Yeah.
42
:Yeah.
43
:We,
44
:Beck (2): Yeah.
45
:Dash: remember you talking about them.
46
:There's a bunch of
different brands of them.
47
:There's a Hershey's brand, too, and
so I got, that's what I got after I
48
:finished boxing class last night, was
just a big bag of those, and I ate
49
:the whole fucking bag on the way home.
50
:Beck (2): They're so good.
51
:Cho- Like, salty and sweet
is my favorite combination
52
:Dash: yeah.
53
:Beck (2): the best combination I've ever
found is buttered popcorn and Kit Kat.
54
:If you ever get a chance to try
that, and I'm not even a big Kit
55
:Kat fan, but you try those two
things together, it is delicious.
56
:Dash: Grader's ha- uh, well, several
brands have a, uh, I think it's a
57
:Chicago style caramel popcorn, half
uh, cheddar popcorn in the same bag.
58
:Like,
59
:Beck (2): Oh, wow.
60
:Dash: together.
61
:it's, it's something.
62
:There was a, a Reese's...
63
:You, you know those, like,
those thick boys that they make?
64
:Like, the cups that are double?
65
:There's one that has, like, some fudge
in the bottom, and one that has caramel
66
:on the bottom, and for a while there,
I haven't seen them in a long time,
67
:they had Lay's potato chips crumpled up
68
:Beck (2): Yeah.
69
:Yep, I saw those before.
70
:Yep.
71
:Dash: I, I wish I had tried them.
72
:At the time I was like, "That sounds
awful," and so I didn't try it, and now I
73
:think they you know, stopped doing them,
and now I'm like, just to say that I had I
74
:Beck (2): I'm pretty sure Shanna
tried them, 'cause they had them
75
:on sale at like a gas station
that we went to or something.
76
:They were like a dollar
apiece or whatever.
77
:So I got them for her, and she tried
them, and she said they were good.
78
:Nothing special.
79
:They were just Reese cups.
80
:Dash: My thought was that
the, the chip would get soggy,
81
:Beck (2): That's what I thought, too.
82
:Dash: crispy.
83
:that.
84
:Beck (2): they do make chocolate
covered potato chips that you can buy.
85
:That's a
86
:Dash: Oh, these pictures are not it.
87
:Ooh, this looks like a cow pie.
88
:Beck (2): Ew.
89
:Dash: I- I mean, you
know, they may be good.
90
:I kinda doubt it, but the,
just this image is gonna be...
91
:It's gonna stay with me.
92
:Let me share my screen.
93
:Beck (2): Ew.
94
:They do look like little turds.
95
:Dash: Look.
96
:Oh.
97
:That's not any better.
98
:Beck (2): The ones in the middle there
look okay 'cause they have the ridges, but
99
:the, the, the bumpy ones are just gross.
100
:Dash: the lumps come from?
101
:Beck (2): And why are they using Pringles?
102
:Dash: Is that wh-
103
:Beck (2): It was a Pringle shape.
104
:Dash: get real soggy.
105
:Beck (2): Yeah.
106
:You know those aren't even considered
to be potato for legal purposes?
107
:Dash: No, I didn't know that.
108
:Beck (2): Mm-hmm.
109
:Dash: What are they?
110
:Beck (2): Starch of some sort.
111
:It was an import/export thing,
and they had to define them, and
112
:they defined that as not potato.
113
:Dash: Okay, yeah, a dough of dehydrated,
processed potato flakes and corn
114
:flour, rice flour, and wheat starch.
115
:So it is about 42%
dehydrated potato flake.
116
:I love Pringles,
117
:Beck (2): Yeah, they're pretty good.
118
:Did you know the man that,
119
:Dash: Did
120
:Beck (2): invented the Pringles
can was buried in a Pringles can?
121
:In a, uh, like, a life-size Pringles can?
122
:Dash: No.
123
:Did you know that the guy on, the,
the Pringles man is based on a real
124
:person, an author named Gene Wolfe?
125
:Beck (2): didn't.
126
:Dash: you.
127
:He wrote some of my favorite sci-fi books.
128
:his little hat.
129
:When he was younger, it definitely...
130
:Beck (2): fancy mustache, yeah.
131
:Dash: Yeah.
132
:Beck (2): It's a fancy mustache.
133
:Dash: And I don't, I,
I don't know the story.
134
:Like, how did they choose him?
135
:Was it a friend?
136
:You know?
137
:I don't know.
138
:Makes you wonder if the, is the
Planters peanut guy based on somebody?
139
:Beck (2): That's a good question
140
:Dash: Mr.
141
:Peanut was created in 1916 based on
a winning contest submission by a
142
:14-year-old schoolboy named Antonio
Gentile from Suffolk, Virginia.
143
:Beck (2): I know a guy
with the last name Gentile.
144
:Dash: Hmm.
145
:Cool.
146
:Are peanuts from Virg- are planters?
147
:Beck (2): Have you ever
had boiled peanuts?
148
:Dash: Yes.
149
:Beck (2): think they're
150
:Dash: it, w- it does something
to, like, the texture,
151
:Beck (2): it does something to the peanut.
152
:Yeah, they become mushy.
153
:Who wants a mushy peanut?
154
:that Did you know that
Campbell's soup is here near BG?
155
:and the Heinz ketchup was,
uh, out of BG directly.
156
:I, I think that is so cool
that BG had Heinz ketchup.
157
:It's, like, one of the most
famous products from America.
158
:And it was made right there.
159
:Where the old plant was
160
:closed
161
:Dash: stadium was, I
162
:Beck (2): down.
163
:Yeah.
164
:Well, it was by the, kind of by
the old newspaper that's shut down.
165
:Dash: Hmm.
166
:What, what was, like, the most
maybe, like, nationally or
167
:internationally recognized thing
from where you are, where you
168
:Beck (2): What, what was one
of the most famous Portsmouth?
169
:Oh, that's easy.
170
:Shoelaces.
171
:We, the shoelaces, it's one
of the only places left in the
172
:country that makes shoelaces.
173
:Mitchell Lace in Portsmouth, Ohio.
174
:It had a huge factory, and now they're,
they've, they've moved out of that
175
:factory, and they've got, like a, a
work crew of, like, 12 people now.
176
:but they still mass produce,
177
:Dash: They
178
:Beck (2): shoe, uh, shoelaces.
179
:And then before that it
was shoes in general.
180
:used to be, like, five shoe
factories in Portsmouth.
181
:Dash: factories and- There's
a lot of shoe stores.
182
:I noticed actually a, a
lot of, like, cobblers.
183
:Like, you could go and get shoes made
when I go out there and visit Sabrina.
184
:Beck (2): There used to be a
line called Selby Shoes, and
185
:they were, like, very popular.
186
:Like, they were in movies and stuff like
that, and they were made in Portsmouth.
187
:Dash: They were- It rings a bell.
188
:Beck (2): There's one of the
murals in Portsmouth dedicated
189
:to it actually, to the...
190
:The factory was huge.
191
:It's still there, and it's like
just this huge abomination, you
192
:know, and there's like windows
broken out of it and everything.
193
:It looks terrible.
194
:Dash: Aw.
195
:know, Jellico,
196
:coal
197
:Beck (2): We also have the state
prison, like the, uh, not the state
198
:prison, but the one that did the, uh,
executions for a long time in Lucasville.
199
:So if anybody said they were going to
Lucasville, either if you've heard of
200
:Lucasville, you're either from there
or you had somebody go to prison in
201
:your family, is one of those things.
202
:So you know who's, what kind of family...
203
:If you say, "I'm from Lucasville,"
people are like, "Ooh."
204
:Dash: I, I started to notice, like,
after I lived in, I lived in Southern
205
:Illinois for a while and I started
noticing it in all, all, all kinds of
206
:movies, especially movies with, like,
escaped, like, psycho killers or escaped
207
:Beck (2): Yeah, they
have those in Michigan.
208
:The first time I passed one, I was with
the students for the McNair Project and
209
:we were going to, uh, Niagara Falls.
210
:And we pa- somehow we passed,
uh, one of those signs, and I was
211
:like, "Did you guys see that?"
212
:And they were like, "Yeah,
that's totally normal."
213
:And I was like, "I have never
seen one of those before."
214
:It was, totally flew me, like
I w- uh, flew me for a loop.
215
:Dash: Yeah.
216
:Yeah, it's unnerving.
217
:So I, when, anytime I wanted to go
to Chicago when I lived in Southern
218
:Illinois, I would just get on
the Amtrak because, yeah, it took
219
:longer, but it was nicer, you know?
220
:D- riding on trains is
221
:and if they released prisoners or
something like that, which they did,
222
:you know, pretty much every day somebody
got released, they would put them on
223
:the train if they were going to Chicago.
224
:So I got to meet a ton of people
who were released from that prison.
225
:It, it was, like, I've talked to a
lot of people who have either been,
226
:like, inside or, or a part of, like,
America's carceral but never people
227
:who had done that amount of time.
228
:Like, the people I talked to, they had
done decades of time, and they were so...
229
:This one guy, he was so
fascinated by Facebook,
230
:like " Do you have a smartphone?"
231
:And I was like, "I do."
232
:And he goes, "I've heard about those."
233
:And I said, "Oh, okay.
234
:Well, you know, this is an iPhone."
235
:And he goes, "Do you have a face page?"
236
:And I said, "Yeah, I do have a face page."
237
:He was like, "I heard
you can look people up."
238
:And I said, " There's a
few ways you can do that."
239
:And I said, I was
like, " What do you want?"
240
:And he goes, "Will, will you look me up?"
241
:And I said, "Uh, I will.
242
:Are you sure you want me to do that?
243
:Like, it's gonna come up with your
mugshot or anything like that."
244
:And he's like, "That's
fine, I just, you know..."
245
:And so the other guy that was with him, he
was like this, this really small, quiet,
246
:He was a Latino man, but I don't know,
like, I ge- didn't get to talk to him much
247
:to f- enough to find out if he was, like,
Mexican or if he was from South America.
248
:And he had a tear tattooed on his face.
249
:Beck (2): Oh, wow.
250
:Dash: like, "Would you look me up?"
251
:Yeah.
252
:And I was like, here, I'll look you up."
253
:And his mugshot was so fucking funny.
254
:He, it was so interesting
looking at re-entry, or m-
255
:just kinda being with somebody.
256
:Uh, there was three of them who
were experiencing that re-entry.
257
:so, like, uh, for instance, the dude
who was sitting next to me, he was a, a
258
:pretty big guy, and they don't let them
wear r- regular clothes, 'cause if you
259
:c- if they came in with clothes decades
ago, right, they're obviously gone by now,
260
:so they're wearing their prison clothes.
261
:They turn them loose, just obviously
they scream, "I'm coming from prison."
262
:So I would say that that doesn't help them
feel at ease around general population.
263
:And so he was sitting, he sat down next
to me, and he was on the aisle, and
264
:he kept, like, really being activated
when people would walk close to him.
265
:And he, he would flinch really big, and
he was like, " I don't want anybody to
266
:make, I don't wanna make anybody feel
bad, but I can't help reacting that way,
267
:because if someone's that close to you
in the environment I just came from, then
268
:it means that I'm probably in danger."
269
:And I, so I was like, "Do
you wanna switch seats?"
270
:And he said, "No, I
need to get used to it."
271
:Good God.
272
:Okay.
273
:But he was also, like, just really, really
enjoying being able to be around people
274
:and use his free will to do nice things.
275
:I, it was so fun to see.
276
:Uh, 'cause he was very tall.
277
:There was a little old sitting across the
aisle from us, and she was having trouble
278
:getting her bag up into the top, and he
was like, "Oh, can I help you with that?
279
:I would love to help you with that."
280
:And she was like, " Yeah,
please, if you don't care."
281
:The, those two were sweet.
282
:The other guy, he was like, he
was like really, really bothering.
283
:In, from my perspective, he was
bothering this woman, like hitting
284
:on her all the time, asking if
he could come home with her.
285
:was like, she had it handled.
286
:She was pretending to be
asleep, and then she was like,
287
:"What were you in prison for?"
288
:And you know, like, I got up and I w- I
like pretended to go up to the bathroom,
289
:and then, and when I came back out, I
made eye contact with her and I like
290
:mouthed the words, "Are you okay?"
291
:And she nodded, and so then I just
sat directly behind her and like
292
:just let her know I was there.
293
:But I, I was like, how do I...
294
:I don't think I can get him off of her.
295
:We just have to hope he her boundaries
because the rest of us are around.
296
:And he got off before we got
to Chicago, so the rest of the
297
:way there was really pleasant.
298
:And then w- when they saw,
when they started to see...
299
:That's one of the reasons you ride
the train to Chicago is so you can
300
:see that skyline, and you, you're not
driving, so you can pay attention.
301
:They both started crying.
302
:And like the guy who was next to me, he
got like really excited, but the, the
303
:smaller guy, the Latino dude, he was
really overcome with emotion and was like
304
:tr- kinda trying to hide it but couldn't
hide that he was like openly bawling.
305
:the little old woman behind him
like tapped him and handed him
306
:a pink tissue from her purse.
307
:It was so fucking cute.
308
:Like, that's one of the m- many
reasons to appreciate public
309
:transportation is moments like that.
310
:There's plenty of other horrible
things that you wish you never
311
:have to see again that also happen
on public transportation, but-
312
:Beck (2): I've been on a train before.
313
:My brother-in-law worked for the
train companies, uh, in northeastern
314
:Ohio, and every Christmas they would
have, like, Santa rides where you'd
315
:ride an hour one way and ride an hour
the other way, and Santa would come
316
:through the cars, and you could get hot
chocolate and that kind of thing, and
317
:it was just fun being on the railroad.
318
:So I've done that a couple of times.
319
:Dash: mean,
320
:Beck (2): all of my train
experience, but, uh, but I like it.
321
:I've always driven to Chicago.
322
:Dash: Done that too, way less fun.
323
:Beck (2): Yeah.
324
:Dash: I
325
:freight trains.
326
:Beck (2): You saw what trains?
327
:You've cut out.
328
:Dash: f- freight trains.
329
:Beck (2): Ah.
330
:Dash: I only had any experience with
freight trains because what Dad drove,
331
:and that's what was all around Jellico
because they, it was the coal mining.
332
:So there were no passenger trains
really, so I didn't see those
333
:until I moved up close to Toledo
334
:Beck (2): Huh.
335
:Instantly in my head, I got Michelle,
Tamika, and Tanya wanna ride this train.
336
:Come on, ride the train,
337
:Dash: around that
338
:Beck (2): it with Sh-
339
:Dash: Oh, dude, the '90s are back.
340
:Beck (2): Oh, yeah, in a big way.
341
:Dash: That picture I sent you of Emmett
and his haircut, I sent it to Claire,
342
:and she goes, "It's giving Devin Sala."
343
:And I was like, "That was
exactly what I thought it was."
344
:just bangs, and bowl, and volume.
345
:Beck (2): It was really cute.
346
:Dash: Yes,
347
:Beck (2): I'm so jealous that you've
still got young nieces and nephews.
348
:Dash: be
349
:the time I see them next.
350
:Beck (2): Yeah.
351
:My oldest niece is 34, and my
youngest nibling is 24, so all five
352
:of them fall within those 10 years.
353
:Dash: I mean, obviously the, I don't
have any other nieces and nephews, but
354
:a lot of second cousins, like the d-
the generation of cousins, uh, my first
355
:cousins, and they're all in college.
356
:Beck (2): It's technically
your first cousin once removed.
357
:wouldn't get a second
cousin from that line.
358
:It would be your first cousin
once removed, then twice removed,
359
:then third, three times removed,
360
:Dash: twice.
361
:Beck (2): times removed.
362
:But it stays your first cousin as long
as it was originally your first cousin.
363
:Like, your kid and their
kid would be second cousins,
364
:Dash: kid
365
:Beck (2): it would still be your
first cousin one- once removed.
366
:Dash: first cousin
367
:Beck (2): uh, living with a guy.
368
:He had no boxes on feet.
369
:So there's different...
370
:I don't really train box.
371
:I've done it before just so I
372
:Dash: good strength
373
:Beck (2): could feel the
difference between it and cardio.
374
:But
375
:Dash: I
376
:Beck (2): I prefer small tires.
377
:but then the thing is,
when you get out of there,
378
:Dash: last night
379
:Beck (2): my mind also
380
:Dash: did
381
:Beck (2): isn't noticing the
spot as much as it was before.
382
:So it's like, "Am I hurting it?"
383
:Dash: prime."
384
:I appreciate it, but no."
385
:And he goes, "How old are you?"
386
:It's like, "I am 44.
387
:You can't kick me in the face."
388
:Beck (2): I would crumble into dust
if somebody kicked me in the face.
389
:My n- my nephew does Jin pow
or s- is that a Chinese dish?
390
:I don't know.
391
:Jin po?
392
:Jin po or something.
393
:My nephew is really big
into, uh, martial arts.
394
:M- maybe.
395
:Dash: Yeah.
396
:It's similar to Muay Thai.
397
:Beck (2): Yeah.
398
:He's really into it, so...
399
:Dash: that's the Bruce Lee one.
400
:Beck (2): Yeah, definitely.
401
:Then that's where...
402
:We're on the right track
'cause he's a Bruce Lee stan.
403
:Dash: So he, I don't
know if he invented it
404
:Beck (2): I
405
:Dash: what, but it's, it's kind
of a fusion martial art that puts
406
:together, I don't know, some things.
407
:I don't know many Anything with
belts, I don't know anything about it.
408
:Like, I've trained a little bit of
karate, but just so that I could do
409
:what they call continuous which is
essentially just Japanese kickboxing.
410
:Beck (2): watched all of Cobra Kai.
411
:Does that count?
412
:Dash: probably.
413
:You know, it probably means
you know more about it than me.
414
:Beck (2): I liked Cobra Kai.
415
:Shanna hated it 'cause it was so macho,
but for whatever reason, I liked it.
416
:I, I don't know if it was nostalgia or
what but I, I was like, it's cheesy,
417
:absolutely, but I still like it.
418
:I'm allowed to like cheesy things.
419
:Dash: There's six of that show?
420
:Damn.
421
:Oh, Ralph Macchio came
back for it, awesome.
422
:Beck (2): And Johnny.
423
:They're the two main characters.
424
:Dash: I probably would like this.
425
:I, I, I remember it happening,
and I don't, but I don't
426
:remember why I didn't watch it
427
:Beck (2): There's lots of
kick-ass fighting in it.
428
:Dash: It started in 2018.
429
:So I wasn't, I hadn't started
training martial arts yet.
430
:I started in 2019,
431
:Beck (2): Gotcha
432
:Dash: like, in, in earnest, you know?
433
:Like, I did karate as a kid
I think a lotta kids just do.
434
:there's, like, the sporty
extracurricular your parents will
435
:put you in if they possibly can.
436
:I, I could not explain to you how karate
became mine, because why in Jellico?
437
:How did there be, how did there
become a karate thing in Jellico?
438
:But happened to be one of mom's
ex-boyfriends a black belt in karate
439
:and opened a dojo down there in
Jellico, he let us come for free.
440
:Beck (2): Oh, wow.
441
:Dash: Yeah.
442
:So we went for quite a while.
443
:I, I don't remember.
444
:I certainly didn't become a black
belt, but I, I was, like, a, I think
445
:it was green belt was as high as I got.
446
:And it, like, I don't really remember.
447
:Like, your body remembers a little.
448
:Any time your body learns
something, it remembers, but I
449
:don't remember the names of things.
450
:I don't remember what, you know,
any of the katas, 'cause that's a
451
:big deal in those kinds of more,
like, symbolic martial arts.
452
:Like, nobody's using
karate for self-defense.
453
:Someone who's trained in karate might have
an advantage in defending off a certain
454
:attacker or whatever, but if, if what you
want is self-defense, do not do karate.
455
:It's the longest walk around to,
to where you're trying to get.
456
:If what you want is self-defense,
take a self-defense class.
457
:Beck (2): Yeah.
458
:My activities were, uh,
softball and bowling.
459
:Dash: were
460
:Beck (2): It's a lot
of balls for a lesbian.
461
:Dash: I played basketball for all
of elementary and middle school,
462
:and then I quit in high school.
463
:And I, I kept doing track
and field until I graduated.
464
:It's...
465
:was just like, "I can't do this.
466
:No, this is too weird."
467
:Beck (2): I...
468
:My brother took karate in Portsmouth, but
I had no interest in anything like that.
469
:If it wasn't softball or
bowling, I was reading.
470
:That was pretty much me.
471
:Dash: I wanna start, like,
walking and running again.
472
:I wanna get back into running,
and I get so bored running.
473
:So podcasts help,
474
:Beck (2): I'm really into
audiobooks right now.
475
:I recommend that.
476
:Dash: you're...
477
:I know that you're, like, intermittently
on TikTok, and stuff, but...
478
:So this is how I see a lot of the
pop culture, the things that are
479
:trending in places I don't hang out.
480
:But the, the Erica Kirk video of her
in, like, this Janet Jackson Rhythm
481
:Nation getup, have you seen it?
482
:Beck (2): Mm-mm.
483
:Dash: She's wearing a black baseball cap
pulled down really low over her face.
484
:It
485
:Beck (2): Oh, is it w-
486
:Dash: it in
487
:Beck (2): is when she's staring,
uh, staring at the camera?
488
:Is that what you're talking about?
489
:Dash: Yeah,
490
:Beck (2): Yeah,
491
:I did see that.
492
:I did see that this morning.
493
:Dash: what kind of crazy pants?
494
:That is such an interesting person to me.
495
:Something
496
:Beck (2): we s- are we sure that's not AI?
497
:Dash: Yeah, we're sure, because
it was like, an actual show.
498
:It was an actual podcast.
499
:Beck (2): Gotcha.
500
:Dash: like, multiple versions and
multiple angles and stuff like that.
501
:But I don't know, like, what's...
502
:I, I don't know what's going on with
her, but there's something really
503
:odd about, like, how she does affect,
504
:Beck (2): Mm-hmm.
505
:Dash: who's she looking at?
506
:she breathing like that?
507
:I saw somebody stitched it and
they were just, like, waving
508
:an asthma inhaler at her.
509
:They were like, "You need this, girl."
510
:Beck (2): I think it's, it's crazy that
she's screaming reverse racism, 'cause
511
:we all know that's not a fucking thing.
512
:But
513
:Dash: White face.
514
:Beck (2): yeah.
515
:Dash: in white face.
516
:Beck (2): Yeah.
517
:the stupid, it hurts
518
:Dash: to...
519
:She's being super dramatic about, she
goes like, "Every day I wake up to a new
520
:headline about me Try being trans or a
person of color in America, you know?
521
:Like, I'm on the news everywhere I go.
522
:Like, I'll be in the fucking,
like, grocery store or the barber
523
:shop, and they're pl- and the news,
the radio or whatever is talking
524
:about me, and I have to sit there
and pretend it's not happening.
525
:These people are such pussies.
526
:Just such weenies.
527
:It's kind of embarrassing.
528
:It's like y- making, you and
your people are making my life
529
:harder, and this is what you are?
530
:Like, this is all you are
made of, and you're somehow
531
:actually making my life harder.
532
:Like, what, how, what kind of fucking...
533
:How is that even possible, you know?
534
:Beck (2): What I don't understand
is how people don't see what a
535
:grift it is, like all of that shit.
536
:They just buy into it
wholeheartedly, you know, that
537
:Dash: think,
538
:Beck (2): they're all people
of God and God-fearing, and,
539
:Dash: that God's weary.
540
:Beck (2): you know, there's a, there's
an old saying that s- that standing in
541
:a garage doesn't make you a Cadillac
542
:Dash: doesn't
543
:Beck (2): any more than standing at
church makes you a Christian, you know?
544
:Dash: a
545
:Beck (2): I've got a friend, I
won't say his name, but we went
546
:to high school together, and,
547
:Dash: school together.
548
:Beck (2): he was always a nice guy.
549
:He was never real smart,
550
:Dash: guy.
551
:He's never the worst,
552
:Beck (2): guy.
553
:He didn't play football
or sports or anything.
554
:Dash: bully and
555
:Beck (2): he's religious.
556
:He has a wife and a couple of kids, and
we have clashed several times on Facebook.
557
:Dash: times on
558
:Beck (2): but he's constantly saying
things like, "Be the hands and feet
559
:of Jesus," and trying to, to be kind.
560
:And I think he is very
sincere in his beliefs.
561
:I genuinely do.
562
:Dash: I genuinely do.
563
:Beck (2): he was one of the people
that watched the Turning Point USA
564
:half t- halftime show and said it was
great and said that maybe he would
565
:be singing that song that Kid Rock,
566
:Dash: And he's thinking about it, but
567
:Beck (2): out, you know,
when we talked about that.
568
:And he's just so gullible that I
don't understand how somebody who
569
:has average intelligence doesn't
see what a grift all of it is.
570
:Dash: really
571
:Beck (2): so obvious to me, I
don't see how they don't see it.
572
:Dash: The, I th- that the fear
of being left out and the fear of
573
:being wrong about it is so intense.
574
:it, I've been in situations before
where I have just sort of casually
575
:mentioned that I don't follow a religion.
576
:I don't, you know, think about a
deity, much less believe in one.
577
:Like, it never crosses my mind that
a, a, a deity could be involved
578
:in, in any given situation I'm in.
579
:And people have, like, backed away
or crossed themselves or just looked
580
:really shocked a- in s- in a way that
it, like, made it clear to me that
581
:The thought of being alone was scary.
582
:Being, being without some sort
of deity that was s- invested
583
:in, in them was scary to them.
584
:And some- and, you know, I've been
asked, like, "What if you're wrong?"
585
:Which, why is that my problem?
586
:Why...
587
:It, it doesn't matter if I'm wrong
about whether there's a God or not.
588
:If there's a God, He made me wrong.
589
:That's not my fault.
590
:I don't see anything
to be scared of there.
591
:Beck (2): Right.
592
:Dash: Whatever it is that makes
people, makes belief work or faith
593
:or whatever, I don't, I guess I
don't have it or, and I can't see it.
594
:I don't know
595
:Beck (2): Me either.
596
:Dash: look like.
597
:Beck (2): Like, I would love it if
I could give my, myself to a larger,
598
:you know, deity that, and trust in
something that the universe was gonna
599
:do things for me and that kinda thing.
600
:I wish I could, I could
buy into it, but never.
601
:I mean, I-- We've talked about how when
I was four years old, I was disagreeing
602
:with the Pentecostal church doctrine
about how animals have souls, you know?
603
:So my whole life I have been
like, "Fuck the, fuck the k-
604
:fuck the church," basically.
605
:Dash: but never Maybe, I
mean, maybe that's part of it.
606
:Maybe, maybe it deferring to a
deity on moral frees you up.
607
:You don't have to think about whether
something's right or wrong or not,
608
:because something else somewhere
has said something extremely
609
:confusing and contradictory about it.
610
:So you just pick whichever one feels
right to you, whichever one slots
611
:you into a context, and go with it.
612
:But I j- I just I can't be afraid
that I might be wrong about it.
613
:I, I can't care.
614
:Beck (2): believe they
call that Pascal's Wager
615
:Dash: I've never heard that.
616
:Okay.
617
:Believing in God is the most rational
choice because the potential gain is
618
:infinite while the loss is finite.
619
:If the believer gain-- If, if God
exists, the believer gains everything.
620
:If not, they lose little.
621
:That seems backwards to me.
622
:Beck (2): Right.
623
:Dash: Like, if God exists but can't
manage to make me believe in him,
624
:he's obviously not very influential.
625
:Beck (2): Right, very powerful.
626
:I am jealous of the fellowship
that church brings, right?
627
:The, the, the Sunday dinners, and
the, the church plays, and the
628
:church rummage sales, and the ladies
Bible study group or whatever.
629
:Dash: living with.
630
:Beck (2): just, you know, those are
religion-based community, uh, activities.
631
:And I miss- I, I would love
to have a community like that,
632
:that you get from church.
633
:But I just can't agree to what
they want you to agree to in
634
:order to get that fellowship.
635
:Like, I've even thought about,
636
:Dash: Like, I've even thought
637
:Beck (2): the Universalist
Unitarian Church, right?
638
:How they are non-denominational and,
639
:Dash: something...
640
:Beck (2): talk about all the religion.
641
:It's kind of like the
anti-religion or whatever.
642
:And I just, I can't,
643
:Dash: and I
644
:Beck (2): I can't do it.
645
:Dash: Well, and those, the seven
pillars or tenets or whatever it is
646
:they have, they're, they're very fucking
647
:Beck (2): Yeah
648
:Dash: And, uh, I, and I'm jealous
of the way that their access to that
649
:community is literally sacrosanct.
650
:It is protected above all
things in the U- in the US.
651
:a Christian is never going
to be without community.
652
:They're never going to be without a
safe place to go barring certain, like,
653
:uh, extreme situations like cults and,
you know, like abuse and things like
654
:that where people are, become trapped.
655
:You know, your average Christian in
the US spoiled for choice when it
656
:comes to ways to spend their time
around like-minded people who love them
657
:unconditionally were anybody to suggest
that that's a privilege instead of a
658
:right You would be, you know, criticized.
659
:But the rest of us can't have that,
Like, uh, every time somebody wants
660
:to have a, a queer event or a, a Black
event or something like that, or a
661
:space for those people or people with
that shared identity to hang out, then
662
:it becomes, they're pushing it on us.
663
:This is your whole identity.
664
:You're shoving this down my throat,"
blah, blah, blah, snowflake, you need
665
:your own safe space version of things.
666
:It's like you occupy the most
safe space of safe spaces.
667
:Beck (2): Yeah, these people that,
that accuse us of having safe spaces
668
:didn't wanna share water fountains
with Black people in the '50s and '60s.
669
:You know what?
670
:Like, what, what kind of
snowflake bullshit is that?
671
:Like, they are the biggest
snowflakes that there are.
672
:Ugh, it makes me angry.
673
:Dash: I can't to your, you know,
Sunday cookout unless I join your club
674
:and make that my whole personality.
675
:And, also, is the book club
where nobody's reading the book?
676
:Beck (2): Yeah.
677
:For sure.
678
:Dash: Part of the reason why everybody
but those, that identity is being denied
679
:that right now in America is because
if we can't have community with each
680
:other, we also can't have any resilience.
681
:When we're isolated and alone,
we don't have We're defenseless.
682
:You know, we don't have any can't
stand up to what they're already
683
:p- doing to us and planning to
get much more overt about doing.
684
:Like, the an- the anti-trans
stuff is just crazy.
685
:Beck (2): Yeah.
686
:Dash: The redistricting, the Supreme
Court just legalized gerrymandering.
687
:Beck (2): Yeah.
688
:I watched a couple of videos about that
last night about the racist origins of
689
:all of that bullshit and the Supreme
Court decisions and how they were gutting
690
:the civil rights, the voting act, and
691
:Dash: Voting
692
:Beck (2): I just...
693
:I can't believe they're setting
us back 60 years, you know?
694
:And that's exactly what's gonna happen
if they, if they do all of that.
695
:And they say that they, they
don't want it based on race,
696
:Dash: don't want it
697
:Beck (2): like in Louisiana,
seven of the eight districts
698
:are, are, are white majority, yet
699
:Dash: majority,
700
:Beck (2): 33% of the state is Black.
701
:Dash: state is
702
:Beck (2): does that work?
703
:You know what I mean?
704
:Like, the...
705
:It should be fair.
706
:It should be d-
707
:Dash: work?
708
:Yeah.
709
:Beck (2): It, it should just be fair.
710
:Everybody's vote should count,
711
:Dash: Everybody's
712
:Beck (2): it's never gonna be that
way as long as people get power from,
713
:Dash: people in
714
:Beck (2): that they don't
deserve from, from rigging it.
715
:I mean, Trump came out
and said it himself.
716
:He said,
717
:Dash: came
718
:Beck (2): gonna fix it so good that
you won't have to vote next time,"
719
:Dash: that you
720
:Beck (2): you know?
721
:And they're trying to
deliver on that promise.
722
:Dash: trying to already suspended
primaries in um, Louisiana.
723
:Beck (2): Wow.
724
:Dash: Only reason the Electoral
College exists is because of
725
:the Three-Fifths Compromise.
726
:It was created to facilitate
racial disenfranchisement.
727
:We really haven't changed much.
728
:Beck (2): Mm-hmm.
729
:The technology in the wrapper has
changed, but the underlying values
730
:in the, the wires on the inside are
exactly as rotten as they have ever been
731
:Rue says hi.
732
:Dash: Hi, Rue.
733
:Beck (2): She's a good girl.
734
:She just lets me hold
her as long as I want to.
735
:Dash: me How's the apartment search going?
736
:Beck (2): That's Shanna's area.
737
:I couldn't tell you.
738
:I'm...
739
:So I'm a bad shopper,
740
:Dash: so a
741
:Beck (2): genuinely.
742
:Like, you tell me to order something, I'm
gonna order the wrong thing every time.
743
:Dash: I'll go
744
:Beck (2): I will double-check it, I
will triple-check it, I will make sure
745
:it's right, and somehow it's wrong.
746
:Like, I'm...
747
:I've done this so many times
that I'm kind of infamous for it.
748
:Dash: that I've kinda
749
:Beck (2): and that in-
involves apartment hunting.
750
:She's just so much better at it than I am,
751
:Dash: so much better it is overwhelming.
752
:Shopping for
753
:Beck (2): Yeah.
754
:Dash: because there's a million options
755
:Beck (2): Yeah.
756
:Like, she had me order my,
757
:Dash: Like she had me order
758
:Beck (2): my perfume off of Amazon and,
759
:Dash: and, uh, some for
760
:Beck (2): some Kool-Aid for her, and I
ordered the perfume from a third-party
761
:seller, And so it's not gonna be
here until, like, two weeks from now.
762
:Dash: here
763
:Beck (2): And then I ordered the Kool-Aid
from a third-party seller somehow,
764
:Dash: from
765
:Beck (2): and it's not gonna
be here till the end of June,
766
:Dash: it's
767
:Beck (2): and it's too late
to cancel them now, so.
768
:Dash: end
769
:Beck (2): Or I'll get it stuck in my
head that we need shampoo, and I'll buy
770
:five bottles of shampoo, like, every time
I go to the store five times in a row.
771
:I've done that bef- I have so
many boxes of mac and cheese in
772
:my cabinet right now, it's stupid.
773
:Dash: is...
774
:I mean, you know, maybe one
day you'll, you'll hit gold.
775
:Beck (2): One thing I do shop for
on Amazon, and this is so silly
776
:it's deals on toilet paper and
then I buy toilet paper in bulk.
777
:' Cause if you pay attention,
778
:Dash: Pay
779
:Beck (2): if ... I got a $36 pack of
toilet paper for $24 the other day,
780
:cause of coupons and a 20% off if you
subscribe and save and do all ... 'Cause
781
:you can cancel the subscriptions, right?
782
:So I just sign up for it and then
go in and cancel it afterwards.
783
:And you get your 20% off.
784
:Was, like, eight four-packs
or something like that.
785
:For $24?
786
:Hell yeah.
787
:Dash: for
788
:Beck (2): Yes, I will.
789
:Thank you
790
:Dash: Maybe it's a good time to
hear from this week's sponsor.
791
:Oh, I don't have my glasses on.
792
:This should be fun.
793
:All right.
794
:This week's episode of Queernecks is
sponsored by those raggedy flip-flops that
795
:are seemingly made out of an old yoga mat.
796
:These represent the pinnacle of
improvised foam engineering, serving as
797
:a multifunctional tool that happens to
occasionally cover the bottom of a foot.
798
:This device functions as a high-velocity
precision fly swatter, utilizing its
799
:flat surface area to eliminate household
pests with a singular resonant strike.
800
:In outdoor settings, the rubberized
chassis serves as impro-impromptu
801
:coaster for cold beverages or a
temporary shim to stabilize outdoor
802
:furniture on uneven terrain.
803
:The acoustic signature of the raggedy
threadbare flipper-flopper a constant
804
:rhythmic broadcast of a user's
location, ensuring that bystanders
805
:are fully aware of an approaching
presence long before visual contact.
806
:transit across wet surfaces, the lack of
traction transforms a standard hallway
807
:into a recreational slide, offering
spontaneous physical activity without
808
:the need for specialized equipment.
809
:In domestic disputes involving misplaced
laundry or unwashed dishes, this
810
:footwear transitions seamlessly into a
tactical projectile, capable of being
811
:deployed with surprising aerodynamic
stability over short distances.
812
:Owners of the raggedy threadbare
flip-flop enjoy direct sensory
813
:connection to the environment, feeling
the distinct texture of every pebble,
814
:the temperature of every sidewalk
crack through the minimalist sole.
815
:The design prioritizes maximum
ventilation, allowing for the
816
:complete integration of dust and
sand into the foot-to-shoe interface.
817
:This product serves as a definitive signal
of a relaxed social posture, indicating to
818
:the public that the wearer has prioritized
immediate convenience over long-term arch
819
:support or protection from the elements.
820
:This yoga mat-derived implement functions
as the ultimate key to restricted
821
:commercial spaces, providing a technical
loophole for the leg-legally mandated
822
:signage found on gas station entryways.
823
:When paired with a heavy-duty
drawstring trash bag fashioned into
824
:a makeshift halter top, these foam
slabs complete the formal ensemble
825
:that satisfies the most rigid health
code requirements for indoor service.
826
:This combination always allows a
person to transition from creekside
827
:mud bank to a snack aisle with
total bureaucratic compliance.
828
:The structural design of the Raggedy
Threadbare Flipper-Flopper ignores
829
:traditional social divisions, offering
a completely gender-neutral experience
830
:where every foot, regardless of
identity, suffers the same specific
831
:friction burn between the toes.
832
:This footwear serves as a great equalizer
in the rural landscape, fitting any
833
:person who values a shoe that can be
hosed off in the front yard after a long
834
:day of lawn maintenance or engine repair.
835
:The open-air construction ensures
that these flipper-floppers remain
836
:the preferred choice for those who
believe that a formal dress code
837
:is merely a suggestion rather than
a requirement for buying a gallon
838
:of milk and a lottery ticket.
839
:Beck (2): That's one thing that
I've not worn since I was a child.
840
:Yeah, I, I refuse to wear 'em.
841
:I will, I will not show off my feet.
842
:I'm like the oddball in my family.
843
:I won't show off my feet, I
won't show off my boobs, I won't
844
:show off, like, my cleavage.
845
:Like, like, all of it.
846
:I'm like, "Hell no, I'm...
847
:My...
848
:I'm covered for your safety."
849
:Dash: What's wrong with your
850
:Beck (2): What's wrong with you?
851
:I just don't like 'em.
852
:They're
853
:Dash: Oh.
854
:Beck (2): feet, and they're very manly.
855
:Dash: Yeah.
856
:I, I have some strong feet.
857
:Beck (2): And where I'm diabetic and
I get m- so my toenails grow like my
858
:mom's, and they grow like staples.
859
:They, like, go down and kinda
curve back in and come out my toe.
860
:So I get ingrown toenails,
like all the way in.
861
:They have to dig 'em out.
862
:So to avoid that, I let my toenail, my big
toenail grow pretty long, and it's just...
863
:I just would not show that to anyone.
864
:That is my own personal shame.
865
:Dash: I'm real lazy about
trimming my toenails too.
866
:Like, they've gotta be, like, poking into
each other, 'cause I have some crooked
867
:Beck (2): I
868
:Dash: so I know that it's time to
cut my nails by my pinky toe cutting
869
:into the other toe next to It
870
:Beck (2): make Shanna do it for me.
871
:I'm terrible with tw- with clippers.
872
:When,
873
:Dash: reach.
874
:Beck (2): when you, when you've
been with somebody for 22 years,
875
:there is nothing off the table.
876
:Like, you know?
877
:in it for the long haul at that point.
878
:She's seen grosser
things than my toenails.
879
:She, she cleans dirty, like, she...
880
:At work today she, uh, somebody
shit in the tub, and so she
881
:had to clean the tub out.
882
:I could not do that job.
883
:So my toenails are
nothing compared to that.
884
:Dash: And, you know, like this is,
you know, absolutely nothing against
885
:Shana, because I would never, I love
her, but, like, based on how I knew her
886
:before she started this work, this is
not what I have, would have picked for
887
:Beck (2): She's a very good caretaker.
888
:Uh, like she's a very good, like...
889
:Dash: she
890
:Beck (2): sick, I feel fantastic because
she always makes me feel better, so.
891
:Dash: I, and I could believe
that, but I just saw this ball
892
:of anxiety, and, I was just...
893
:But also, now that I'm saying
it, that kinda makes sense
894
:Beck (2): Yeah.
895
:She's still a ball of anxiety.
896
:Don't, don't let's get that twisted
897
:Dash: It's just an asset now.
898
:Beck (2): Yeah.
899
:Right now she's working through a stretch
of six days where she has to work in a
900
:row, and she's not doing well with it.
901
:And then she agreed to stay late today.
902
:She should've been home already,
but she doesn't get off till
903
:4:00 today, and I'm over it.
904
:Dash: get
905
:Beck (2): It's extra money,
but I'm like, "I'm bored.
906
:What am I supposed to do?
907
:Just sit here and work all the time?"
908
:Dash: That's kind of it, like
the, the balance of extra money
909
:versus your own wellbeing.
910
:I was talking to Sabrina last night about
like, you know, going back to teaching
911
:full-time instead of doing administration
and then teaching on the side.
912
:And I remember, you
913
:Beck (2): I
914
:Dash: boring.
915
:Teaching is a little boring.
916
:Uh, it's a little monotonous, right?
917
:It's
918
:Beck (2): was
919
:gonna
920
:Dash: But I also, I don't know if
it's an, it's, I don't know if it's
921
:an ego, but like the thing that I
liked about being an administrator
922
:is actually being able to, to make an
impact, like on the university itself.
923
:Like that's addictive.
924
:It's like you, you, I can see
how people get addicted to power.
925
:Beck (2): Yeah.
926
:Dash: listen to me."
927
:Beck (2): Well, you get some
of that as a professor too.
928
:Like that email that I got a couple
of weeks ago where the student said
929
:that he appreciated me being queer
out loud, and he be- he, he realized
930
:that he was queer on his own.
931
:Dash: that
932
:Beck (2): Like, you make
an impact on people.
933
:Dash: make a difference.
934
:Beck (2): for my ethnic studies class,
and the last question I ask them
935
:Dash: like
936
:Beck (2): is, "What are you
gonna take away from this class?
937
:What will you carry with you?
938
:How will you use it?"
939
:Right?
940
:Dash: hear, what
941
:Beck (2): And I had three or four people
say that they're gonna take my, my line
942
:Dash: they're
943
:Beck (2): that if Black people could fix
racism, it would've been fixed already.
944
:Dash: they're
945
:Beck (2): they're gonna take that
with them, and I'm like, "All right.
946
:I did something.
947
:I'm quoted.
948
:Woo-hoo."
949
:Dash: as faculty, you get
to impact the students.
950
:And administrators don't
get to do that as much.
951
:Like, I was kind of lucky in the-- that
my role did give me a little bit of that.
952
:And it's a longer-- it's a slower burn.
953
:You kinda have to wait a
while for that to pay off.
954
:Whereas an administrator,
you're changing the university
955
:pretty much on the daily, and
956
:you get that dopamine hit faster.
957
:But it's also-- That's one of the
reasons why it's so fucking stressful.
958
:Did you bring a noun of
Appalachian interest?
959
:Beck (2): I did.
960
:It's a big one today.
961
:Dash: A big
962
:Beck (2): right, y'all.
963
:Today's noun of Appalachian interest is
the Appalachian Mountains themselves.
964
:It's about time we talked about
the star of this show properly.
965
:Now, when people hear mountains,
they picture something dramatic,
966
:like picturesque snow caps, or
maybe they yearn for yodeling or
967
:goats doing parkour on cliffs.
968
:Dash: with
969
:Beck (2): all awesome things, but
that is really not these mountains.
970
:The Appalachians are older.
971
:These mountains have been here
so long that human history
972
:feels tiny by comparison.
973
:These mountains used to be tall in a
way that would've made the Rockies feel
974
:insecure, and then time said, "Let's
sand that down a bit," and here we are.
975
:Dash: down a
976
:Beck (2): What you get instead is
rolling ridges that just keep going.
977
:These mountains don't sit off
in the distance looking pretty.
978
:They surround you.
979
:Dash: gritty.
980
:Beck (2): shape how towns got built.
981
:how roads twist, how people talk.
982
:Even directions change.
983
:Nobody says north or south around here.
984
:Dash: north
985
:Beck (2): that's fancy city talk.
986
:In these mountains, your directions are up
the holler, down past the creek, or turn
987
:where that old gas station used to be.
988
:Dash: that old
989
:Beck (2): I once gave a friend three
hours away directions to my house
990
:and didn't use a single road name.
991
:True story.
992
:the mountains also have this habit of
keeping stories, not in a spooky way.
993
:It's more like they hold onto things like
family histories, old routes, places where
994
:something happened once and now everybody
knows not to go there after dark.
995
:Dash: not
996
:Beck (2): You don't need a map.
997
:What you really need is someone's
mamaw telling you all the stories.
998
:And here's the thing that I like the most.
999
:These mountains don't rush.
:
00:42:33,343 --> 00:42:35,773
They've been here longer than
just about anything you can name,
:
00:42:35,773 --> 00:42:37,153
and they move at their own pace.
:
00:42:37,354 --> 00:42:37,424
Dash: and
:
00:42:37,453 --> 00:42:38,763
Beck (2): You can feel
it when you're there.
:
00:42:38,793 --> 00:42:39,943
The air slows you down.
:
00:42:39,943 --> 00:42:41,133
The quiet feels different.
:
00:42:41,274 --> 00:42:41,334
Dash: You
:
00:42:41,473 --> 00:42:44,203
Beck (2): Even time feels like
it took a seat for a minute.
:
00:42:44,703 --> 00:42:47,893
So yeah, the Appalachian Mountains aren't
out here trying to impress anybody.
:
00:42:47,893 --> 00:42:48,713
They don't need to.
:
00:42:49,033 --> 00:42:51,293
They just sit there like, "We've
been doing this a long time.
:
00:42:51,293 --> 00:42:52,643
Y'all can catch up when you're ready."
:
00:42:52,664 --> 00:42:52,924
Dash: time.
:
00:42:52,964 --> 00:42:53,104
Y'all
:
00:42:53,186 --> 00:42:55,036
Beck (2): like us Queernecks,
a lot of folks don't get
:
00:42:55,036 --> 00:42:56,156
to stay in those mountains.
:
00:42:56,287 --> 00:42:56,417
Dash: don't
:
00:42:56,426 --> 00:42:59,456
Beck (2): They leave for work or school
or for love or for something that's
:
00:42:59,506 --> 00:43:01,276
feels like it's waiting somewhere else.
:
00:43:01,427 --> 00:43:01,587
Dash: like it
:
00:43:01,636 --> 00:43:04,196
Beck (2): You pack up, you go
build a life and somewhere new.
:
00:43:04,236 --> 00:43:05,356
That's, that part's real.
:
00:43:05,786 --> 00:43:07,966
But the mountains don't
really let you go all the way.
:
00:43:08,067 --> 00:43:08,210
Dash: go
:
00:43:08,269 --> 00:43:10,359
Beck (2): They stick with you
in ways that you don't expect.
:
00:43:10,410 --> 00:43:10,620
Dash: you in
:
00:43:10,679 --> 00:43:13,999
Beck (2): It might be the way that you
measure distance in time instead of miles,
:
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:14,460
Dash: time
:
00:43:14,509 --> 00:43:17,969
Beck (2): how loud quiet feels when
everything finally settles down at night.
:
00:43:17,980 --> 00:43:18,280
Dash: finally
:
00:43:18,369 --> 00:43:20,359
Beck (2): It might be the way
certain words feel more like
:
00:43:20,359 --> 00:43:23,369
home than others, even if nobody
around you says them anymore.
:
00:43:23,380 --> 00:43:23,740
Dash: around you
:
00:43:23,839 --> 00:43:26,629
Beck (2): After a while, you realize
it's not just the place you came from,
:
00:43:26,909 --> 00:43:29,979
it's part of how you move through the
world, part of how you think, how you
:
00:43:29,979 --> 00:43:31,729
remember, how you make sense of things.
:
00:43:32,019 --> 00:43:33,429
It makes a mark on your soul.
:
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:33,790
Dash: makes
:
00:43:33,849 --> 00:43:37,329
Beck (2): And whether you ever move back
home or not, you're still tied to it.
:
00:43:37,569 --> 00:43:39,599
Your story doesn't leave
just because you did.
:
00:43:39,599 --> 00:43:41,369
It stays folded into those hills,
:
00:43:41,450 --> 00:43:41,460
Dash: it.
:
00:43:41,689 --> 00:43:44,949
Beck (2): right alongside with everybody
else's, like it always had a spot waiting.
:
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:45,340
Dash: like it
:
00:43:45,369 --> 00:43:47,339
Beck (2): That's this week's
town of Appalachian interest,
:
00:43:47,469 --> 00:43:48,749
the Appalachian Mountains.
:
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,246
Dash: Jen from the Yeah, they're,
they're older than the continents.
:
00:43:52,406 --> 00:43:52,616
Like
:
00:43:52,645 --> 00:43:52,965
Beck (2): Yeah.
:
00:43:52,966 --> 00:43:55,026
Dash: they go back to Pangea.
:
00:43:55,095 --> 00:43:55,485
Beck (2): Mm-hmm.
:
00:43:55,885 --> 00:43:58,711
Dash: That's why there's no fossils of,
:
00:44:03,972 --> 00:44:06,152
Have you ever been to
anywhere in the Rockies?
:
00:44:06,552 --> 00:44:09,085
Beck (2): When I was young
enough that I didn't remember it.
:
00:44:09,155 --> 00:44:11,722
We've been to Pikes Peak when
I was, like, three years old.
:
00:44:11,772 --> 00:44:14,432
We went on a whole tour of the
West, and I don't remember any of
:
00:44:14,472 --> 00:44:17,612
it, except riding in the backseat
on the hump in the floorboard.
:
00:44:17,832 --> 00:44:19,868
That was my spot 'cause
I was the littlest.
:
00:44:19,868 --> 00:44:21,008
Yeah.
:
00:44:21,048 --> 00:44:26,088
We've
:
00:44:26,666 --> 00:44:29,556
Dash: or much about what it
actually looked like outside.
:
00:44:30,026 --> 00:44:31,026
I have visited Salt
:
00:44:31,115 --> 00:44:31,595
Beck (2): to the Badlands.
:
00:44:31,845 --> 00:44:34,315
I remember there being a really
neat development there from what,
:
00:44:34,316 --> 00:44:34,606
Dash: but
:
00:44:34,675 --> 00:44:34,965
Beck (2): the story that we were told.
:
00:44:34,965 --> 00:44:36,351
I contributed something, I think.
:
00:44:36,351 --> 00:44:37,021
I guess that doesn't really
count as a family tradition.
:
00:44:37,021 --> 00:44:37,371
It has
:
00:44:38,047 --> 00:44:38,917
Dash: areas
:
00:44:39,376 --> 00:44:40,786
Beck (2): like, buried family legend.
:
00:44:40,866 --> 00:44:43,046
I guess it's
:
00:44:43,357 --> 00:44:44,427
Dash: kind of
:
00:44:44,487 --> 00:44:45,017
Beck (2): other things that are commonly
:
00:44:45,088 --> 00:44:45,288
Dash: out
:
00:44:45,477 --> 00:44:45,857
Beck (2): out there
:
00:44:45,918 --> 00:44:47,028
Dash: than, what we're g-
:
00:44:47,237 --> 00:44:47,297
Beck (2): as sort of oral histories or
:
00:44:49,298 --> 00:44:50,169
We look into,
:
00:44:50,169 --> 00:44:51,309
Dash: Big Chain Rock
:
00:44:51,328 --> 00:44:52,478
Beck (2): chain rocks- Mm-mm.
:
00:44:52,549 --> 00:44:53,469
Dash: Eastern Kentucky?
:
00:44:53,869 --> 00:44:54,049
Beck (2): No.
:
00:44:54,249 --> 00:44:54,817
Really, I
:
00:44:54,998 --> 00:44:55,358
Dash: I mean,
:
00:44:55,377 --> 00:44:56,597
Beck (2): mean, it's literally that.
:
00:44:56,717 --> 00:44:57,447
There's these huge
:
00:44:57,538 --> 00:44:57,888
Dash: rock
:
00:44:57,957 --> 00:44:59,097
Beck (2): rocks on the side of a mountain
:
00:44:59,538 --> 00:44:59,928
Dash: that,
:
00:44:59,957 --> 00:45:00,197
Beck (2): that,
:
00:45:00,438 --> 00:45:02,058
Dash: they were afraid was gonna
:
00:45:02,107 --> 00:45:03,227
Beck (2): would then fall off.
:
00:45:03,227 --> 00:45:03,437
Dash: And
:
00:45:03,666 --> 00:45:06,330
Beck (2): And so they, they did
:
00:45:06,331 --> 00:45:06,451
Dash: they,
:
00:45:06,750 --> 00:45:13,209
Beck (2): this ritual where
they colored threads that were
:
00:45:13,429 --> 00:45:15,609
shown on the side of the mountain.
:
00:45:15,700 --> 00:45:15,950
Dash: to
:
00:45:15,979 --> 00:45:16,139
Beck (2): how many-
:
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:16,890
Dash: case it fell.
:
00:45:16,890 --> 00:45:20,940
It would stop it from rolling down and
squashing like the town below it there.
:
00:45:21,340 --> 00:45:21,920
The, and the...
:
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:26,723
You can hike to it and
see it, and it is looking.
:
00:45:26,723 --> 00:45:27,863
I have some of my...
:
00:45:28,153 --> 00:45:30,723
I'll get my photos from my phone,
'cause that used- that was part of my
:
00:45:30,723 --> 00:45:33,463
territory when I was, uh, a recruiter.
:
00:45:33,863 --> 00:45:34,643
Beck (2): That's wild
:
00:45:35,004 --> 00:45:35,224
Dash: Yeah.
:
00:45:35,624 --> 00:45:39,764
Uh, this is kind of the view um,
from like when you're standing out
:
00:45:39,764 --> 00:45:42,464
where the wreck is, or the wrecker.
:
00:45:42,864 --> 00:45:45,844
It doesn't really do it justice,
but like it's pretty cool.
:
00:45:45,844 --> 00:45:48,415
And so I remember visiting
that when we were little.
:
00:45:48,815 --> 00:45:50,315
Here's the chain itself.
:
00:45:50,715 --> 00:45:51,655
Oh, this is Instagram.
:
00:45:51,655 --> 00:45:52,245
Interesting.
:
00:45:52,645 --> 00:45:53,395
Beck (2): It's a pretty view.
:
00:45:53,795 --> 00:45:55,235
Dash: Yeah, it's a beautiful spot.
:
00:45:55,655 --> 00:45:57,885
And the whole hike is, is gorgeous.
:
00:45:57,885 --> 00:46:02,845
But like w- just the idea that this
chain is gonna stop this boulder,
:
00:46:03,571 --> 00:46:03,951
Beck (2): Yeah.
:
00:46:03,981 --> 00:46:04,981
It's pretty big.
:
00:46:05,301 --> 00:46:06,721
Yeah, it's pretty big.
:
00:46:07,730 --> 00:46:08,000
That's
:
00:46:08,652 --> 00:46:09,982
Dash: It's very Kentucky.
:
00:46:10,382 --> 00:46:13,912
Beck (2): The only cool thing we have is
the serpent mound, which is pretty cool.
:
00:46:14,312 --> 00:46:15,112
Dash: Yeah, Serpent Mountain.
:
00:46:15,112 --> 00:46:15,802
That's cool.
:
00:46:16,281 --> 00:46:17,041
Beck (2): Have you ever been there?
:
00:46:17,284 --> 00:46:17,784
Dash: No.
:
00:46:17,834 --> 00:46:19,744
Beck (2): Next time you go see
Sabrina, you guys should take a little
:
00:46:19,744 --> 00:46:20,884
drive and go out and check it out.
:
00:46:20,884 --> 00:46:22,164
It's worth seeing in person.
:
00:46:22,564 --> 00:46:26,604
They have a little structure
where you can walk up the stairs.
:
00:46:26,604 --> 00:46:28,594
It's like three flights of
stairs to the top, and then you
:
00:46:28,594 --> 00:46:30,964
can see over the entire thing.
:
00:46:31,274 --> 00:46:32,424
It's totally worth going up.
:
00:46:32,824 --> 00:46:33,944
Dash: you can Cool.
:
00:46:34,574 --> 00:46:36,994
Beck (2): Thing in Chillicothe
called uh, Tecumseh.
:
00:46:37,444 --> 00:46:40,534
They do an outdoor drama, and they
have horses and guns and all that
:
00:46:40,534 --> 00:46:42,154
kind of stuff, and it's really cool.
:
00:46:42,514 --> 00:46:45,094
But they do it all summer,
uh, there in Chillicothe.
:
00:46:45,494 --> 00:46:46,744
Dash: Is it named after,
:
00:46:47,063 --> 00:46:47,753
Beck (2): A famous,
:
00:46:47,894 --> 00:46:50,804
Dash: it named after Sh-
Sherman or the native
:
00:46:51,204 --> 00:46:53,284
Beck (2): Sherman was named
after the Native chief,
:
00:46:53,765 --> 00:46:53,925
Dash: Native.
:
00:46:54,014 --> 00:46:56,884
Beck (2): so the Native chief is,
was from the Chillicothe area.
:
00:46:57,284 --> 00:46:59,264
Dash: But, so is it named after him or
:
00:46:59,543 --> 00:46:59,863
Beck (2): Yeah.
:
00:47:00,113 --> 00:47:01,443
No, the, the Indian chief.
:
00:47:01,843 --> 00:47:02,333
Dash: definitely him.
:
00:47:02,380 --> 00:47:02,870
Cool.
:
00:47:04,834 --> 00:47:05,354
nation.
:
00:47:05,753 --> 00:47:09,283
Beck (2): Yeah, I went probably
25 ... It was my ex-girlfriend if it's
:
00:47:09,283 --> 00:47:13,413
been that long, and I've been with
Shanna for 22 years, so But I loved it.
:
00:47:13,413 --> 00:47:15,523
We had front row seats, and
it was the coolest thing.
:
00:47:15,853 --> 00:47:18,013
So if you get a chance, I
recommend going to see that.
:
00:47:18,436 --> 00:47:20,986
And you have to also eat at the
original Krispy Kreme donut.
:
00:47:21,413 --> 00:47:23,023
There's all kinds of fun
stuff to do in Chillicothe.
:
00:47:23,669 --> 00:47:24,529
Dash: and I want a doughnut.
:
00:47:29,925 --> 00:47:33,795
Beck (2): You know, the, the, the original
Krispy Kreme the, that I grew up with
:
00:47:33,795 --> 00:47:36,315
beats the KK Krispy Kreme all to hell.
:
00:47:36,755 --> 00:47:40,445
Though the policy of giving you a
free glazed donut when their hot
:
00:47:40,445 --> 00:47:42,525
and ready light is on, five stars.
:
00:47:42,525 --> 00:47:43,415
Wouldn't change a thing.
:
00:47:43,415 --> 00:47:44,265
No notes on that.
:
00:47:44,265 --> 00:47:45,175
That's amazing.
:
00:47:45,176 --> 00:47:45,446
Dash: places.
:
00:47:45,805 --> 00:47:46,305
Yeah.
:
00:47:47,122 --> 00:47:47,862
Genius.
:
00:47:48,262 --> 00:47:49,912
Beck (2): You know some
fat kid came up with that.
:
00:47:50,312 --> 00:47:51,492
What's your favorite kind of donut?
:
00:47:51,492 --> 00:47:53,422
If you have your choice, what's
your favorite kind of donut?
:
00:47:53,822 --> 00:47:54,872
Dash: If you're happy with your
favorite ... it's Krispy Kreme.
:
00:47:55,022 --> 00:47:57,642
Like, nothing compares to
:
00:47:57,871 --> 00:47:59,715
Beck (2): I've had not
:
00:47:59,916 --> 00:48:00,336
Dash: nice
:
00:48:00,375 --> 00:48:01,135
Beck (2): good donuts in my day.
:
00:48:01,135 --> 00:48:03,631
There's not a lot There's,
:
00:48:03,693 --> 00:48:04,773
Dash: know, there's, uh, whatever
:
00:48:04,872 --> 00:48:05,452
Beck (2): whenever they do

00:48:05,563 --> 00:48:06,343
Dash: sure that there's
:
00:48:06,512 --> 00:48:08,552
Beck (2): donuts,

00:48:08,593 --> 00:48:08,903

And like, there

Dash: doughnut,

00:48:13,546 --> 00:48:13,676
Beck (2): are Dunkin' Donuts or something
else, like there's, like a box of cream
:
00:48:13,676 --> 00:48:15,796
donuts, right, almost anybody can do that.
:
00:48:15,796 --> 00:48:17,426
But when I want a glazed donut,
:
00:48:17,457 --> 00:48:18,427
Dash: not eating
:
00:48:18,466 --> 00:48:22,094
Beck (2): that's not the same thing
as- Next time you go to Chillicothe,
:
00:48:22,094 --> 00:48:23,184
try the Krispy Kreme there.
:
00:48:23,184 --> 00:48:24,534
It's CC Krispy Kreme.
:
00:48:24,555 --> 00:48:24,705
Dash: see, Krispy Kreme.

Like, it's amazing.

00:48:32,642 --> 00:48:33,662
Dash: the

00:48:33,731 --> 00:48:36,281
Beck (2): Yeah, it has a
donut called the Mountain Top.
:
00:48:36,561 --> 00:48:39,211
I, when I was a kid, I got so obsessed
with them that I would dream about
:
00:48:39,211 --> 00:48:40,681
them, 'cause I was a fat kid, right?
:
00:48:41,131 --> 00:48:44,881
It's a chocolate donut with chocolate
icing with a big dollop of white icing
:
00:48:44,881 --> 00:48:47,831
on top of it, and it is delicious.
:
00:48:48,301 --> 00:48:49,001
Five stars.
:
00:48:49,401 --> 00:48:49,891
Dash: Now I
:
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:50,020
Beck (2): Now
:
00:48:50,271 --> 00:48:52,461
Dash: to go find some sort of sweet treat.
:
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:53,580
Beck (2): I want to go
find some Krispy Kreme.
:
00:48:53,940 --> 00:48:54,800
Sweet treat.
:
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:56,930
Are you going to have a sweet treat?
:
00:48:57,391 --> 00:49:00,171
I finished off my sweet treat, which
was my chocolate-covered pretzels.
:
00:49:00,171 --> 00:49:01,881
I finished those off last night, so.
:
00:49:02,281 --> 00:49:04,391
Though I do have some old
school, like when you're in
:
00:49:04,391 --> 00:49:06,271
kindergartner, iced oatmeal cookies.
:
00:49:06,631 --> 00:49:09,061
I was craving those the other day,
so I've got a pack of those too.
:
00:49:09,461 --> 00:49:09,551
Dash: Yeah.
:
00:49:09,551 --> 00:49:13,481
Every now and then I will
:
00:49:13,540 --> 00:49:13,900
Beck (2): Yeah.
:
00:49:14,370 --> 00:49:17,440
Shana got the kaleidoscopes or
whatever they're ... Kaleidos
:
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:18,260
or whatever they're called,
:
00:49:18,321 --> 00:49:18,611
Dash: like, you know,
:
00:49:18,660 --> 00:49:19,610
Beck (2): the generic ones.
:
00:49:20,010 --> 00:49:20,730
They're pretty good too.
:
00:49:21,182 --> 00:49:23,312
Dash: Yeah, I mean, it's
a pretty simple formula.
:
00:49:23,712 --> 00:49:24,502
Beck (2): Did you know they're vegan?
:
00:49:24,911 --> 00:49:26,311
Dash: Yeah, accidentally
:
00:49:26,450 --> 00:49:27,550
Beck (2): were vegan.

00:49:27,950 --> 00:49:31,890
Dash: So are the Doritos
sweet chili chips.

00:49:32,344 --> 00:49:32,614
Beck (2): Oh.
:
00:49:33,014 --> 00:49:33,534
Good to know.
:
00:49:33,934 --> 00:49:35,774
Dash: I don't know, don't know
about any of the other ones.
:
00:49:35,774 --> 00:49:39,414
Probably not ranch, but Well,
maybe we ought to get off of here.

Beck (2): with D-E.
:
00:49:59,881 --> 00:50:03,621
It's a very famous brand of, like,
syrups and schnapps and things like that.
:
00:50:04,001 --> 00:50:05,081
And I can't think of the name of it.
:
00:50:05,421 --> 00:50:07,681
But they have a factory in,
:
00:50:07,897 --> 00:50:07,997
Dash: have
:
00:50:08,589 --> 00:50:09,909
Beck (2): and every time you drive by it,
:
00:50:09,965 --> 00:50:10,175
Dash: Sometimes
:
00:50:10,209 --> 00:50:13,129
Beck (2): there, uh, it smells
like sugar smacks because they're
:
00:50:13,229 --> 00:50:15,049
doing the, the sugar boil down.
:
00:50:15,419 --> 00:50:16,559
Oh, God, it smells so good.
:
00:50:16,559 --> 00:50:18,739
But sometimes you'll drive by
and it smells like cherries,
:
00:50:18,805 --> 00:50:18,975
Dash: I'd
:
00:50:19,069 --> 00:50:21,869
Beck (2): or it'll be pineapple day
or whatever, and that's fantastic.
:
00:50:23,268 --> 00:50:24,968
y- yeah, I think that is it.
:
00:50:25,420 --> 00:50:26,680
Dash: I don't know how to say
:
00:50:27,014 --> 00:50:27,524
Beck (2): Y- yeah,
:
00:50:27,924 --> 00:50:28,014
Dash: but
:
00:50:28,368 --> 00:50:29,548
Beck (2): I think that's exactly right.
:
00:50:29,884 --> 00:50:30,584
Dash: I think that's
:
00:50:30,908 --> 00:50:33,828
Beck (2): the best factory I ever
lived near was the Heiner's Bread
:
00:50:33,828 --> 00:50:37,798
factory, which that was amazing,
the smell of Heiner's bread.
:
00:50:37,834 --> 00:50:38,004
Dash: They
:
00:50:38,238 --> 00:50:39,718
Beck (2): Did they have Heiner's
bread where you grew up?
:
00:50:39,718 --> 00:50:42,278
Is that an Appalachian thing
or just a, a regional thing?
:
00:50:42,294 --> 00:50:43,954
Dash: favorite I, I don't remember it.
:
00:50:44,354 --> 00:50:46,194
We just, ate boring white bread
:
00:50:46,594 --> 00:50:48,554
Beck (2): Well, that's what Heiner's
was, but it's the softest, most
:
00:50:48,554 --> 00:50:50,164
delicious white bread you'll ever have.
:
00:50:50,544 --> 00:50:51,564
Sara Lee bought 'em out.
:
00:50:51,964 --> 00:50:53,064
Dash: Oh, then probably.
:
00:50:53,464 --> 00:50:55,504
Port Chilakothe smells like the worst
:
00:50:55,668 --> 00:50:56,178
Beck (2): Hey,
:
00:50:56,324 --> 00:50:56,984
Dash: smelled, which
:
00:50:57,038 --> 00:50:57,998
Beck (2): smells like money.
:
00:50:58,114 --> 00:50:58,494
Dash: paper
:
00:50:59,902 --> 00:51:00,102
Oh,
:
00:51:03,183 --> 00:51:03,783
down.
:
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:05,750
Beck (2): They've said that
a couple of times over...
:
00:51:05,950 --> 00:51:08,260
Yeah, it used to be f- like every
time you'd go to Columbus, you'd
:
00:51:08,260 --> 00:51:10,620
have, you'd know you were in
Chillicothe 'cause you'd hit the smell.
:
00:51:11,020 --> 00:51:12,300
Dash: Is, is singular.
:
00:51:12,330 --> 00:51:13,710
Nothing else smells like that.
:
00:51:13,914 --> 00:51:14,254
Beck (2): Yep.
:
00:51:14,654 --> 00:51:17,884
Dash: Well, be good
everybody, or be good at it.
:
00:51:18,284 --> 00:51:19,814
Beck (2): Amen.
:
00:51:20,214 --> 00:51:24,024
Dash: and, uh, our next
episode is our 50th.
:
00:51:24,424 --> 00:51:24,914
Beck (2): Ooh.
:
00:51:25,050 --> 00:51:27,690
Dash: The, we don't, that
doesn't necessarily mean anything
:
00:51:27,690 --> 00:51:31,290
except for we somehow managed
to put together 50 of these.
:
00:51:31,470 --> 00:51:31,890
So
:
00:51:32,290 --> 00:51:35,210
Beck (2): Somebody could listen to us
for two solid days, and that's amazing.
:
00:51:35,610 --> 00:51:37,010
Dash: Oh my God, that's true.
:
00:51:37,410 --> 00:51:38,530
Let us know if you did that
:
00:51:38,918 --> 00:51:40,318
Beck (2): That's
:
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,120
Dash: now and then I'll, some- uh, every
now and then I'll look on, like, you
:
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:46,380
know, our, our analytics or whatever,
and it's like, "What is going on here?
:
00:51:46,410 --> 00:51:46,900
Okay.
:
00:51:47,300 --> 00:51:49,610
Somebody in New Jersey is vibing with us."
:
00:51:50,010 --> 00:51:50,580
Beck (2): so cool.
:
00:51:50,837 --> 00:51:51,987
Dash: yeah, I know.

Are you a performer?
:
00:52:11,297 --> 00:52:11,997
I don't know.

00:52:12,397 --> 00:52:13,207
