Welcome to Queernecks, the podcast that (00:06):

Dash.
Welcome to today's episode.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Oh, that's a fancy microphone. (00:15):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
It is the same one. (00:16):
undefined
Um, but I got an actual stand for it
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Oh (00:22):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
instead of just like (00:22):
undefined
holding it in front of me.
It had a piece, it came withthis piece that I lost somehow.
And so I had this little stand thingthat's magnetized and it's sitting on top
of it so that the sound of my fingers.
And finally, I was just like, I, I gottaput something a little more ergonomic
together here and splurged on a littlestand, which actually wasn't that bad,
(00:47):
but it makes it a bit easier to sit here.
I also have a heater going under my feet.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
yeah. (00:52):
undefined
It's pretty chilly here today.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Well, I wanted the window (00:55):
undefined
open, but it's missing a pain.
So it's not totally open, but it's only,it was, first of all, they're the original
windows, so they're a hundred somethingyears old, and there's a, they're supposed
to be double paned, and even then they'relike rickety wooden things inside a sash,
so they're not super, what's the word?
(01:16):
Insulated.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
It is leading (01:17):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (01:18):
Yeah.
So it's a little breezy.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
the, uh, recent windstorm that we had (01:20):
undefined
here, knocked some of the siding offof two of the buildings in my complex.
Turns out there's plywoodunderneath the siding.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (01:29):
Yeah.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (01:29):
undefined
They took it.
They, they put so much effort andso much care into building these.
if you touch the wall, youleave fingerprints on it, like,
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Oh, it's that, like that gummy kind of (01:37):
undefined
paint that they just put a new layer on.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (01:41):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
They had that stuff in the, the (01:42):
undefined
building I lived on, on campus up here.
It was nice of them to provide it for, forfree until I could find somewhere to live.
But it had that stuff on the wallsand the cats would, you know,
you know, sometimes they like toparkour off the walls and stuff.
There were grooves that lookedlike a haunted mountain lion
(02:05):
had run down the hallway.
Like as I, especially when I went tocleaning the place out when I, I was like,
oh my God, they have ruined these walls.
What, what am I gonna do?
And so I went around, I was likepushing it back down, trying to
like close the grooves up with myfinger, which kind of worked, but
then it just left the a fingerprint.
I was like, now I just left proof.
(02:29):
Is your buddy still there?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Uh, no, she left about an hour ago. (02:30):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Oh, okay. (02:33):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah, that was I, my, my BFF came to (02:34):
undefined
visit and that was very much needed.
I should have been working allweekend, but to hell with it, I had
fun with my best friend instead.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Well, and you had a loss. (02:44):
undefined
We, we put this in the newsletter, butit has happened since our last recording.
So if you don't read the newsletter,you don't know listeners.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (02:54):
undefined
I lost my baby.
Wenda,
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (02:56):
Yeah.
Such a beautiful little baby.
15 years old though.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
yeah. (03:01):
undefined
And she had two teeth leftand one good eyeball and,
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (03:06):
She
was really just all of us in so many ways.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah, she came out of a really bad (03:09):
undefined
hoarding situation, like a puppymill situation, and the lady that
I got her from said that she hadpulled her out of the cage herself.
she had spent her first three yearsliving in a cage, in a puppy farm, and
she had no idea how to dog when I got her.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (03:28):
yeah.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
And 12 years later, she (03:28):
undefined
was the doggiest of dogs.
She liked to do all of the dog things.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (03:34):
Yeah.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
thing about all of it (03:35):
undefined
is sleeping without her
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Mm-hmm. (03:37):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
hand goes to her like in my sleep, and (03:38):
undefined
I have reached for her a thousand times.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (03:43):
a
little, she was a little teddy bear too.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
She, she went between nine and (03:46):
undefined
12 pounds depending on the, theseason and how she was eating.
And between nine and 12 pounds,she was a pug yorkie mix.
She was a tiny little thing.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
RIP Wenda. (03:56):
undefined
You are amazing.
And I'm just sorry that your losseshave stacked up on you like that.
It's not right.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
the way it runs for me. (04:05):
undefined
You know, I
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Mm-hmm. (04:06):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
lose one parent, I have (04:07):
undefined
to lose three in a row.
I can't lose, one dog Ihave to lose two in a row.
When I lost my cats after myadopted dad died, I lost both of
my cats in like a six month period.
and I had had them for 12 and13 years, 15 years, you know,
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (04:25):
I,
I know of, um, you know, like couples
that have grown old together, that,that's kind of happened too a lot.
Uh, back home.
Just like one will go, it, it'll belike both of them hold it on like it's.
A drinking contest and the last oneto tap out wins, you know, hobbling
around or whatever for decades.
(04:46):
And then one goes and theother one is right behind them.
Okay.
I've gotta stop this.
I moved some things in here becausepart of my to-do list is to, to
actually start working on the house.
And also this room is really echoy,so I've moved a bunch of the stuff
that was in the other room over hereand the cats are like attacking it.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
No, not for us. (05:03):
undefined
We hate this.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (05:05):
Yeah.
Well, I still think that weshould make our wind a sticker.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Oh, I'm down with that. (05:09):
undefined
She's not going anywhere.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Did you get, um, the box, (05:12):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
What box? (05:14):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
her cremains? (05:15):
undefined
Is that what they call it?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
It happened on Tuesday morning (05:17):
undefined
and I'm assuming they're gonnacall us tomorrow or Tuesday.
If I don't hear from them by tomorrow, I'mgonna call myself because I want her back.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (05:26):
Yeah.
Sabrina went and got Link's, cremains,and I, I, I was aware of that word,
but man, what a fantastic word that is.
Like, it's portmaneau.
It's super descriptive.
If you'd never heard it before,you immediately know what it is.
But it's also like a littlestark and dispassionate.
I guess maybe 'cause the word remainsalso sounds kind of like Jesus.
(05:49):
We don't gotta call 'em that.
That's probably how pro-lifersfeel when we say fetus.
It's a person.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
You know, that was, that was the (05:56):
undefined
hardest thing when we lost baby.
We had to take her to thecrematorium, but on our
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Mm-hmm. (06:02):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
That's, I would rather pay the extra (06:03):
undefined
a hundred dollars to let the vet doit and not have to see the place.
You know what I
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Mm-hmm. (06:09):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
So Wenda cost us a little bit more, (06:10):
undefined
which is surprising 'cause babycost us a lot, but we also paid for
diagnostics on Wenda hoping thatthere was something to be done.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (06:19):
Yeah.
you, you'll want to feel certain.
I've never, I've never had to make adecision like that of, of, you know, being
at the vet with, uh, with one, I justhaven't had, you know, pets, like indoor
pets long enough to go through that yet.
We all always just had outdoor animalsand they just kind of die on their own.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (06:38):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
So, I, I can't imagine. (06:39):
undefined
I know it's gonna be awful of havingto like actually make that call.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Oh, it's the worst fucking thing (06:46):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (06:48):
Yeah.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
then you have to watch the (06:49):
undefined
trigger warning for anybody.
You have to watch thelight go out of their eyes.
And the way that my vet checks to seeif they're still alive is he opens up
their eyelid and pokes in their eye
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Oh my God. (07:01):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
yeah. (07:02):
undefined
And it's so traumatic tome every time it happens.
ugh.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I mean, and we sort of talked (07:07):
undefined
off air how they'll go like, yousure you wanna be here for this?
It's like, yeah, I wannabe here for it, but
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
they offered like three times to (07:13):
undefined
let us leave before it was over.
I've always wanted to fight 'em.
I was like, fuck you.
I'm not leaving
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
what are you suggesting? (07:21):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
I don't wanna leave her when (07:22):
undefined
she's dead, let alone, you
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (07:25):
Yeah.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
I just can't imagine taking one of your (07:26):
undefined
babies to a place like that, getting themin that position and then walking away.
what kind of heartless bastard.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Yeah, that really highlights the (07:36):
undefined
monstrosity of people like Kristi Noem,and you know, folks who can just, just
make that decision so preemptivelybecause they didn't wanna deal with it.
And I know that people, there's lotsof examples of animals in shelters
for behavioral issues that are likelymore just a person and the animal
didn't click or the person wasn'tknowledgeable on how to rehome an animal.
(07:57):
Like what that adjustmentperiod takes I understand.
Even though it couldn't be me, becauseI absolutely, I will wear it down.
Like if you come into my house,you're staying, I don't give a fuck.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Right. (08:07):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I, I've re-homed one animal and it (08:13):
undefined
was Beef and it was because I had toclimb into a hatchback and drive 1500
miles with four animal or fi five cats.
And he was the biggestfattest of them all.
And they, he really just threwa wrench into everything.
And I was still gonna do it untilVanessa said that she would take him.
(08:37):
And I was like, thank God, becausehe stressed all the, they, it
would've been one long threeday cat fight in, in this car.
And I was just like, thisis gonna be dreadful.
It still wasn't awesome, but the four ofthem, for some reason, they do better.
When he was in the mix, hejust, he fucked it all up.
(08:58):
And I do miss him.
Like
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (09:00):
undefined
he's with your sister now though, right?
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (09:02):
Yes.
And he is so happy pro, probablymuch happier than I would make him
because he's the, not the only animalin the house, but he's, the only cat.
There's a dog that livesin fear of him, of course.
And then there's two kids whohe loves, like he's loved them.
He met them before hewent to live with them.
He's a black and white cat,like tuckie animals in general.
(09:22):
They tend to be better withpeople and especially with kids.
So he's living high on the hog.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah, never had a black and white cat. (09:28):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I almost said you want one, but (09:30):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah, we, we've talked about that. (09:34):
undefined
And I would love to have a cat,but I don't wanna chain myself to
a litter box for 15 years, know,that is just, uh, no thank you.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
yeah, the, the litter robot life (09:44):
undefined
is the life for me, but it is.
It's got a pretty big pricetag at, at the beginning there.
I mean, that's, if you go namebrands, there's lots of knockoffs
now that could be as good, you know,but still you're gonna, that's a
few hundred dollars at minimum.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (10:03):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
The efficiency it has with the (10:04):
undefined
litter though, like it does kindof save you money on, on litter.
And you, I haven't scoopedshit in over a year, so
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Wow, (10:15):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
you just open up a little (10:15):
undefined
drawer and pick the bag up.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
that's fancy, (10:18):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (10:19):
It is,
it's like, that is, that's like maybe the
most exorbitantly, unnecessary, expensive,fancy toy I've ever gotten myself.
And it's because I hate scooping litter.
It's disgust, like I love my cat todo, but it's just I, and I'm too a DHD,
so it would get like really dirty andthen I really didn't want to do it so.
(10:41):
This just, it has a little sensor.
It knows when one leaves and it cycles,and then it tells you when it's full.
So mine have maxed it out though.
You're, 'cause you're supposedto, it's like up to four cats
and I have four high producing
(11:02):
cats.
They'd be, they'd be shitting.
Uh, so I'm really like, I shouldget another one or something.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
We're gonna look for a new (11:10):
undefined
dog, but I don't know, I justneed a little bit of time.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Yeah, there's no rush. (11:15):
undefined
And some so often, like the,the animals find you, you know?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (11:20):
undefined
Yeah.
I want a little dog.
I don't want a, a big dog.
I don't want, I mean, we talkedabout a cat, but that's not the,
that's not the route for us.
I definitely, and I don't want a baby.
I want like a three, four, or five,6-year-old, somewhere in there.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Well, because you still are not, I (11:35):
undefined
mean, y'all aren't like putting downroots in that particular apartment, so
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
no. (11:43):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
easier to move a dog than it is cat. (11:44):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (11:47):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
They just kind of get in the car. (11:48):
undefined
They're happy to be wherever you are.
A cat is not like that.
Cat's like, did we discuss this?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (11:53):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (11:53):
I, I
want to take a cat to lookat apartments with me.
Like, what do you think?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
My first cat on my own. (11:58):
undefined
Trance, was a big cat.
I think he was part Norwegian Forestcat, and I'm not even kidding about that.
He was huge.
And he had a huge tailand he was beautiful.
But he had a bit of abadass streak in him.
But anyway, so we got one of thosebig giant blue, uh, containers, like
the storage bins, and we cut a holein the top so that he could breathe.
(12:22):
And we put 'em in there and put it inthe trunk of my, my Hyundai accent.
And whole way from Huntington, WestVirginia to Hamilton, Ohio, he sat
in the back of the car going, help,
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (12:34):
Yeah,
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
help, help, It sounded like (12:35):
undefined
we were kidnapping somebody.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
uh, Oscar can make some ridiculous (12:40):
undefined
sounds I found out as well.
And, and I know that Ka like they havethis, like they can downshift their
meo, you know, and they can just belike, and he will do that on a loop
He and Felix both will just screamfor the first like maybe 15 minutes
(13:01):
we're in the car after, after that.
If it's a long drive, theyjust sit down and go to sleep.
So that, 'cause they have moved so manytimes and they've driven around so much.
They just literally snoozed in the car,the hallway from Kentucky to Minnesota.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Wow. (13:17):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I don't put 'em in a carrier. (13:18):
undefined
I don't do, like I will if I, I willto move them from the house to the car.
Sometimes I'll do that withFelix because he's, he's a little
shifty, Yeah, he, he's not bright.
Um, so he panics because he,if he doesn't understand what's
going on, his instincts kick in
but the rest of 'em, I just kind of grab'em and throw 'em in the car and let 'em
(13:41):
situate wherever and then we, we take off.
So brisket, he was a baby, sohe sat in my lap most of the
way and looked out the Wenda.
Oscar and Felix slepton the passenger seat.
And Ziggy, this is her in general,she was just off somewhere
else in the car, chilling.
She didn't wanna come out.
(14:02):
We got there and Felix too.
They were both like, no, we live here now.
You wanna do this again?
What's your problem?
Oh my God, I have moved so many times.
I just realized that's gottastress them out so bad.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah, we have moved quite (14:14):
undefined
a few times too, but
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (14:18):
I
don't, I mean, I know that I'll probably
have to move again now that I have tofind a different job, but I don't really
want to, like, I had plans for this house.
I don't hate it.
It's, it's fine.
It's one of those like places peoplewill look at and go, it's got potential.
So I don't know.
I'll work on that.
Maybe I'll work on it, even though Iknow I'm gonna have to sell it right now.
(14:41):
I owe more on it than it's worth.
So I would've to pay somebody to take it.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (14:46):
undefined
The home owning life is not
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Not for me. (14:47):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
for, for reasons like that. (14:48):
undefined
I, the handyman shit, I can justcall a number or put a file online
and be like, come fix this shit.
You know?
And it, it doesn't affect me andhave to mow the grass or be in,
in charge of that or any of that.
I don't like living in a complex at all.
But I mean, this was the solutionwe had to having three dogs,
(15:08):
including baby who was giant.
but now we'll have a littlebit more flexibility.
you think if since Wenda passed,they'll take her off of the rent?
Or do you think I'll have to pay forher the whole time We have a lease.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Uh, that's a good question because (15:20):
undefined
I don't know what pet rent is for,like, it's not a security deposit.
It's, it's, I don't think theyknow what it's for either, because
I think that it's just themsqueezing more money outta people.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
well we got two of them certified (15:33):
undefined
as emotional support animals, so wedon't have to pay anything for them.
But I made that Baby in Pitabecause those are the two most
commonly, like that would be
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (15:44):
Yeah,
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
because Pita's a chihuahua and (15:44):
undefined
they're known to bite, you know?
So I thought Wenda would be thesafest one not to have covered.
so she's the only one that Ihad to pay actual rent for.
But now that she's gone, I'm justcurious if they'll take it off my rent.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I mean, I would ask them to. (15:57):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
and (15:59):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (16:00):
Yeah.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
I mean, it'd be 30, it's 30 bucks a month. (16:00):
undefined
I.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (16:03):
Yeah.
I've gotten used to being like, I don'tthink I'm very good at being a homeowner.
Like I'm not somebodythat's on top of shit.
But I don't wanna go backto renting necessarily.
I probably will if I leave here.
Although if places don't wannalet you have a dog, they damn
sure don't want you to have a cat.
And I've got four of them.
So
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah, (16:22):
undefined
you'd be fine.
At my complex.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Really? (16:24):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
in this, in this complex has a cat in it. (16:25):
undefined
It's a cat tree.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
maybe it depends on where I was, (16:28):
undefined
but like in Richmond, nobodywould want you to have a cat.
I couldn't find anybody to rent.
I had to lie about 'em,which I don't like doing.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah, this place was a unicorn. (16:36):
undefined
That's why we ended up here, youknow, because why it's, we pay the
more expensive rent and everything.
It's not for the freaking amenitiesthat break every five freaking minutes.
Like the, they have these no slam drawers.
Right.
And the one with oursilverware in it broke.
Like the day we moved in, likenothing in here is top quality.
(16:56):
Everything was just slapped together.
I mean, it looks nice,but it's, it's all crap.
touched my wall, and ithas fingerprints on it.
I didn't have greasy, I mean, I wasn'teating fried chicken and touched
the wall, you know what I mean?
I just like was getting up andI was pretty close to the wall
and touched it, and now there'sfingerprints there and it's like,
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
It is the worst paint in existence (17:15):
undefined
that they choose for that.
'cause it's just so cheap.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
yeah, (17:21):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I had, so I think, I'm not sure, (17:26):
undefined
but tomorrow I have, uh, a doctor'sappointment and I think it's
gonna be a, uh, what's it called?
A pap smear.
Yeah.
It doesn't say that on it, but like, Iremember I've been seeing her every month
ever since all this bullshit started.
(17:47):
And last time I saw her, she was like,so do you still have these parts?
And I was like, yeah, because itkeeps, it'll come up right in my chart.
It'll be like, you're overdue forthis preventative care, this exam.
And so it kept tellingher that I needed that.
When I would see her.
And so I was like, yeah.
And she said, okay, well, and she saidsomething weird, like, well, I don't like
(18:08):
to spring those on people, so, um, we'lljust deal with it next time you come.
And I was like, wait aminute, are you gonna do it?
Like, what's, don't I have a say in this?
cause I, and I don't, uh, if she'sgonna do it, then whatever, she's a
nurse, so I guess anybody can do them.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
nurse practitioner does mine. (18:24):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
uh, see that's what I'm thinking. (18:25):
undefined
It's gonna be her.
And like, it's, would you rather it besomebody that you have gotten to, you've
established a certain kind of relationshipwith over the course of a longer period of
time or somebody you've never seen before?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
I want my doctor to know (18:41):
undefined
everything about me.
So I feel like it's justbecause she's great.
You know what I mean?
She remembers things.
Like I know she looks atmy chart before I come
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (18:50):
Yeah
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
but she remembers things like better than (18:51):
undefined
I do sometimes and it's really cool tome that she can connect the dots so well.
Right.
'Cause like one of the, one timeI was taking a, uh, blood pressure
medication and it was causing my bloodsugar to rise and we figured that out.
Right.
And, and things like that.
She's really good at figuring out issues.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I think it's because of just what (19:12):
undefined
it's like for me to have that exam.
I have never been to thesame person twice for it.
I, and I don't, and it's neverbeen somebody that I've even seen
before or after the, the thing.
And I think I was just takingit for granted up until this
(19:34):
point that that was normal.
And so the idea that like somebody thatI already know and will continue to know
afterwards, like, I can't hide my shame.
Like this is forever gonna besomething she knows about me.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
know that about you? (19:48):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
no, and, and she also is being very (19:50):
undefined
like, aggressively cool about it, whichis very, is cool, but I'm also like,
I'm not as chill about this as you'rebeing, and I re I, I know that, you
know, you probably aren't actually aschill as you're, as you're trying to,
let me see that you are right now.
And I appreciate that.
(20:10):
But I don't know.
It'll be way better thanthe last person I saw.
Like I went to see that guyknow the one who said he wasn't
an expert in, in vaginas.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
told my students, I've told (20:19):
undefined
every one of my classes abouttrans broken arm syndrome, by
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (20:23):
Yeah,
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (20:24):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I, I told my doctor about it (20:25):
undefined
too, and And she'd never heardof it and I was like, okay.
It's kind of weird.
It's hard to explain like it's similarto, some of the biases that fat people
experience with medical, with thisadded step of, did I just say medical?
What the fuck is that?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
It's one of them. (20:40):
undefined
Doctor words you got.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Just so that is so cultural studies. (20:42):
undefined
Ugh, yuck.
But yeah, the, he kind of overcorrectedafter I pointed out to him that he
was being stupid and it wasn't meanabout it, and which is probably
why he, you know, was cool with it.
But he decided to be like aggressivelycool about it and he goes like, oh,
(21:06):
well I'll see if the ultrasound techis free and we can do this exam now.
And I was like, uh, youshould warn her first, like.
This is not a, I don't, this is not animprovement on how things were going.
I just need you to know that.
Like, and so he just hollereddown the hallway to this woman
like, Hey, are you free right now?
And she was like, yeah.
And he marched to me down there.
(21:26):
Now look at this from her
perspective listeners, if youdon't know, I have a pretty
big beard and I am not short.
there for her.
There was no indication at all thatI Like he didn't go like, I have a
transgender man in here who needs this.
He just said, are you free?
And took a a, a five foot10 bearded weirdo into her
(21:47):
and said, drop your drawers.
And I was like.
So,
this will be better than that becauseshe will at least, like you said,
be familiar with what's going on.
But I think it's the social thing.
I just don't wanna look herin the eye after this is over.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
But there's nothing shameful about (22:02):
undefined
what you're doing whatsoever.
It's part of your body.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I know. (22:06):
undefined
and, and this will be good forme either way, because like one,
it just literally has to be done.
We have to do this kind of thing, right?
We, it's like our responsibilityto at least try our best to get the
preventative care that we have access to.
But even if it sucks, and maybeespecially if it sucks, you know,
(22:27):
like, like we don't get to just not dothings because it's hard or upsetting.
What if I just nevertalk to her again after
It's been nice knowing you.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
And now I gotta ghost you. (22:39):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
She works 10 feet away from my house, (22:40):
undefined
Oh.
But I realized though, thatthat was like my, remember we
set like goals for the year.
That was the one I, I said,so maybe I'm gonna do it.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Nice. (22:55):
undefined
I'm proud of you.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Thank you. (22:57):
undefined
But I had another exam though,where it was an echocardiogram,
which I thought I'd had before.
I thought it was, that's whatan EKG was and I was not.
Correct.
So it was this whole thing where youhave to like take your shirt off and
like get on your side and put yourhand behind your head and stay that
way for like half an hour or howeverlong it takes this person to, to
(23:18):
like do an ultrasound on your heart.
And I don't know why they do this.
They always ask me what my scars are from.
Do they?
Is it all scars?
They do that.
Like does everybody,
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
People usually comment (23:27):
undefined
on the ones on my legs.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
okay, what do you do? (23:30):
undefined
You go like surgery or do youtell 'em the diagnosis or?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
IU So my nephew is autistic and he's (23:35):
undefined
echoic and he watches videos very closelyand memorizes lines from YouTube videos.
So you never know what's gonna comeout of his mouth and, and how he's
gonna phrase what he says to you.
so one summer, we were at my mom's houseall the time and we were in the pool and
stuff, so I was wearing shorts a lot.
And he kept pointing at my legand he would say, what happened?
(23:57):
And I tried to like be honest with himand tell him that I had a booboo and
he'd say, you fell off your skateboard.
And finally I was like, yep.
Fell off my skateboard.
So that's usually, usually whatI say when somebody asks me, I
say, I fell off a skateboard.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I have tried to come up with a lie to (24:10):
undefined
tell 'cause for, especially for this,he kept going, like he, the text sits
next to the table and he kept goinglike, okay, scoot closer, scoot closer.
And I was like, and he was right here.
And then he goes, well,what's that scar from?
And I was like, uh, surgery?
(24:30):
And he goes, yeah, I figured surgery.
What kind?
And I was like, I don't wannatell you what kind of surgery.
And I just went, I hadsome breasts removed
and I, I don't know why I phrased itthat way, like they weren't mine or
I didn't know where they came from.
And I was like pouring sweatbecause it was so awkward
(24:53):
and he didn't respond at all.
He just completely, he wentsilent and the next thing he
said was on a totally different,
and I felt, I didn't mean todo it that to him, but I just
couldn't come up with a lie to tell
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
That's some pe sometimes pe It's, (25:07):
undefined
it's funny to watch sometimespeople like falter like that.
The other day Shannon and I werewalking into the Texas Roadhouse.
We went out to eat and this womanjust out of nowhere comes up behind
us and she like stops and looks at us.
She said, are you sisters,mother and daughter?
What?
And like, I just had no idea what to sayand I was like, uh, and Shannon went wife.
(25:33):
And you could just see that lady turnpale and fade into the bushes like Homer
Simpson and like faded away from us.
It was hilarious.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Why would you even ask that? (25:42):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
I. (25:45):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Was that like a, (25:45):
undefined
a case of an intrusivethought that got loose?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
And who was the mother in this situation? (25:51):
undefined
Who was she saying was the old one?
Like, I like feel like Ineed to fight that woman,
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Sisters? (26:00):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
mother and daughter, wife. (26:02):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Oh, bless her. (26:05):
undefined
well, it hap kind of happened again later'cause he was, I I, I know that he, it's
awkward and he, we just wanted to talk orwhatever, but he was like trying to figure
out what they were even looking for.
'cause basically I look healthyis kind of what he was saying.
(26:25):
Like, and I was like, well, youknow, there's this or that going on.
And he was like, well, that,that usually affects females.
And I was like, yeah.
And he, he did, said that again later.
And it was like, as I wasgetting up and I, I was just
like, well, I used to be one.
And he did not say anything to that.
So I was like, he stillhasn't put it together.
(26:46):
Like I can give them all the datain the world they would possibly
need to not to be able to puttogether what they're dealing with.
And it never.
Computes because in the, in sortof the opposite to the way that
trans women are hyper visible,trans men are completely invisible.
Like the average person has no conceptthat we are even a thing that occurs.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Right. (27:07):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
And in general, that that means (27:08):
undefined
that we're like safer from the kindof violence that trans women are,
subject to or, or live the, in thepotential of experiencing all the time.
But in medical settings, we dieof completely preventable shit
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (27:25):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
the medical field, already ignores (27:25):
undefined
women's health and then it's never gonnaeven be able to wrap its head around
the idea that trans men are a thing.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Right. (27:34):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
But yeah, I had some breasts removed. (27:35):
undefined
Why did I say some?
Like I kept some others,like there was more.
How many were there?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
One thing that made me laugh really (27:43):
undefined
hard this week, you said a number.
We were watching, uh, we watched alot of YouTube in this house and we
were watching a random, uh, collectionof Family Feud, funniest moments.
so the question was, what was anumber that a man might exaggerate
and the woman went, uh, hundred,
(28:05):
well, then he gave it to the other ladyand she got her ex, and she was like 69.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Oh man. (28:09):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
And I had to go over to the other people. (28:10):
undefined
And then finally that guy was like hisheight, like one of them finally got it.
But the hundred about took me out.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I, I love when, especially like when (28:18):
undefined
I'm the person who has said something,so just incomprehensibly stupid.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Oh yeah, I do that regularly. (28:24):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Can you remember the last time (28:27):
undefined
you absolutely cracked yourself up
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Oh. (28:30):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
or just your favorite time, like. (28:31):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Wow. (28:33):
undefined
I don't know.
I'm pretty hilarious.
I've got a lot of, a lot of jokes.
Like when we were at the, at the graveyardwhen we moved my mom's body and we were
putting my dad in the grave with her.
We were putting, basically buryingboth of my parents together that day.
And the, cemetery thatthey're in is pretty new.
And so it's still expanding.
And my niece, uh, commented on that.
(28:54):
She was like, yeah, thisplace is really growing.
She's like, yeah, I heardpeople are dying to get in here.
That may be the top ofall of my jokes ever.
Like.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Uh, pretty classic. (29:02):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Or the time that that Planet Fitness (29:04):
undefined
texted me and asked me if I wantedto join, and I said, no thanks.
I've decided to stay fat.
they had no sense of humorabout that whatsoever.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Oh, really? (29:13):
undefined
What'd they say?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
If I change my mind to let 'em know, (29:15):
undefined
we'll do Chad
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
there's some an ad that makes me laugh (29:19):
undefined
every time I see it, even though I alwaysknow it's a commercial for safe flight.
You know, the, the windshield repair?
Yes.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
flight Re. (29:31):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
There's a shot in one of their ads (29:32):
undefined
of their van driving away, and on theback of it it says, nice windshield,
let us know if things change.
And I don't know why that, that'sjust my specific kind of humor.
Like that makes me laugh sohard every time I see it.
Because imagine actually encounteringthat in the wild and being behind that,
(29:54):
seeing that message and then like allof a sudden being aware of the fact that
like, oh God, something could break.
You know what I found out you knowthat joke I was doing with the sponsors
of the Appalachian wrestling thing,I found out that that's a real thing.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Oh wow. (30:09):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (30:10):
Yeah.
They didn't like comment or anything,but like, and the, the reason I
found it out is because we actuallyare in the same circle is because
I have some weird friends and.
On Facebook.
I have a, friend I made from, uh,I, well he was a coworker at EKU and
we also trained at the same Dojo.
And he is a, professional wrestlerin his, I don't know how he
(30:33):
has spare time, but he does.
And he posted on Facebook, likehe's a part of this drama going
down in, in the, um, AppalachianMountain Wrestling Coalition.
And I was like, oh, shit, I betterstop making those jokes then.
he's like this, um, kind ofCaptain America type thing.
He wears these like, reallyspangled American flag pants,
(30:58):
these spandex pants and a cape.
His name is Marvelous Marcus.
And.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Oh, nice. (31:03):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I was like, oh my God, that (31:05):
undefined
is, that's pretty funny.
But also, like, I thought I madethat up and apparently I didn't.
And they, they, uh, meet in Corbin.
They go all around like the southeastKentucky, like the, basically all
those jokes I was making except,except they weren't sponsored by
like folding lawn chairs and shit.
But like, but it is, I started likefollowing their Facebook things and
(31:29):
it is so funny, like the stuff they'vegot and they have like actual, like
the story arc he's in right now, he gota, a, it's some form of rule breaking.
I don't know if it was cheatingnecessarily, but a cheap shot basically
where his opponent set him on fireand he, he actually had this like
little pyrotechnic in his, in hislike wrist guard or glove or something
(31:51):
and shot a fireball across the um.
The ring at Marcus who like, hewas very theatrical and so now he's
doing all these like rick flairstyle things from the hospital with
these big bandages on his head.
I just thought like, man, we shouldsee if he wants to record a little like
(32:11):
just message and put it in the show.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
That would be awesome. (32:13):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I, yeah. (32:14):
undefined
If, if, if anybody's near the CorbinHazard region and you go to the
Appalachian Mountain Wrestling, letus know if you've seen Marvelous
Marcus, I forget the name of the guy.
He who did the Fireball.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
That's pretty amazing though. (32:27):
undefined
We've reached Mario level of technology.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
and of course it would exist, right? (32:31):
undefined
It's pretty one of those,well, I don't know, like what
is it about wrestling anyway?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
I've never understood what, what (32:39):
undefined
the appeal is, but I don't know.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
You know, I understand it better (32:43):
undefined
now that I understand drag better.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah, (32:48):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (32:49):
Yeah.
Because it's straight person drag.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
right. (32:52):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (32:53):
Well,
I think drag is more than the kind of
drag that like we are aware of in America.
Like if the, if we like, even ifwe expand it back out even more,
it's just play and it's a specifickind of play that adults do.
And I, it's proof of the factthat we don't like, just suddenly
not have the need to play anymorebecause we're not kids anymore.
(33:17):
And so like what we think of asdrag is as the gay version of this
is just one culture's version of.
That particular kind of play pantomimeor whatever you wanna call it, because
like, white, cis, straight women,they've got pageants and stuff.
Uh, but I don't know some other versions.
(33:39):
There's probably lots of other versions.
Listeners let us know.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
There's Dandyism in the black community. (33:42):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (33:44):
Dandy.
Okay, hang on.
I don't know that, let me look that up.
So is it, does it like stemfrom Oh, black Dandyism.
Got it.
So it's distinct from like the British, I.
Cool.
like a lot of the stuff we talkabout is a version of that,
like, uh, the county fair, right?
That is all, well, a lot of itanyway, the more like the spectator
(34:08):
portions of it, definitely.
Mm-hmm.
And like tractor pull, what the fuck?
Even who comes up with that?
And like, I think you can identify,play as something that, because it's
not that you never learn anything, it'snot that it's never even constructive.
All kinds of things onlyexist because of play.
A lot of the skills and techniques wehave, they were just horsing around first.
(34:32):
But I think at its outset, it's.
It's a combination of enjoymentand showing off a little bit.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Aren't most good things. (34:38):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (34:40):
Yeah.
Hi Brisket.
Well, let's uh, take a break inhere from this week's sponsor.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Okay. (34:45):
undefined
Hi baby.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
You see him? (34:47):
undefined
Hey buddy.
He is fat,
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Me too, buddy. (34:51):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (34:52):
right?
You gonna say hello?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
I could bring Pita over, but (34:54):
undefined
she would just growl at us.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
You are shedding so bad. (34:56):
undefined
I've gotta clean this housefrom all the shedding.
okay.
You can say hello, but then youhave to leave the microphone alone.
Let's say it's Memorial Day weekendand your whole clan is already en
route, and the pipes start hummingthat forlorned melody of imminent
failure, or a porch step that nowidentifies as a ramp has appeared.
You can call the pros, but they'll wanta down payment just to come look at it.
(35:19):
Instead, call Hill Williams.
Rent a friend.
We may not be bonded, but we alsoaren't insured, and you can take that
to the bank and be swiftly escorted out.
They haven't spent a single day atthe Greater Appalachian Institute of
Traditional Tinkering around here,a PhD from the University of Hold
My beer and watch this as the onlyaccreditation we actually trust.
(35:39):
The Hill William Hallmarksare the Swiss Army human.
If it involves a roll of duct tape,a pair of vice grips, or a very
specific way of kicking the startermotor, they've got it handled.
Redneck ingenuity where a contractorsees a code violation, a hill William
friend sees a creative bypass.
It may not be pretty, but byGod it also might not work.
(35:59):
Judgment free labor.
They don't care that you tried to fixit yourself first and made it worse.
They've done the same thing.
They're just Here tohelp you finish the job.
Since we aren't limited by codes orbest practices, we've put together
some specialized friend packages.
These are tailored to those momentswhen you don't need a contractor.
You just need a guy who ownsa truck and asks no questions.
The Gaum-Mess special.
(36:20):
When you started a simple weekend projectthat has now taken over the entire living
room, kitchen and personality, we'll sendover a friend just to finish it for you.
The Slaunchwise solution.
If your mailbox is leaning at a 45degree angle or your deck is a little
Slaunchwise our friend specializes infunctional gravity, we'll shim it, kick
it or tie it to a nearby tree, or ourpaint hunter HVAC electrical special.
(36:46):
If your AC sounds like a trapped ghostor your lights are flicking like there's
an open portal to another dimension.
This one's for you.
This one requires a purchase ofa case of bush ice for the liquid
courage to touch the shoddy wiring.
If you don't know how you got here, trythe bless your heart bulk by one friend
with a working knowledge of the redneckway, a large poke of assorted zip ties and
duct tape, two hours of labor that endswith the phrase, this ain't going nowhere.
(37:11):
kerosene matches in a hastilyacquired insurance policy.
If we can't fix it, we'll at leastsit with you while you process
how it came to this and shakeour heads and commiseration.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
That's fun. (37:20):
undefined
He is really enjoying your

I don't know what it is, (37:23):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
You're busy using it. (37:24):
undefined
Hello Kitty kitty, kitty.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
if you chew on that. (37:28):
undefined
All right.
Look at the fur flying.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
He is so pretty. (37:33):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (37:34):
Yeah.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
the stains on his face. (37:34):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (37:35):
he's,
he's from a very, um, multi-ethnic litter.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (37:40):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
They're all, they look (37:41):
undefined
unrelated, but is raccoon tail.
I'm gonna sit you down becauseyou're really overstimulating me.
Thank you.
I think the worst part abouthaving cats and a beard is how
much cross-contamination there is.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
We went to, uh, when my friend (38:00):
undefined
was here, we went to a stainedart or a stained glass art class.
Uh, we made sun catchersand it was a lot of fun.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
So that, that was like real glass. (38:09):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (38:13):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (38:13):
Wow.
I just saw you post that andthen I, my mom used to do
this kind that you just paint.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
yeah, no, so it start, so you (38:18):
undefined
start out with a pattern, right?
And then you copy the pattern, and thenyou cut out the little pieces of paper.
Then you take those little pieces of paperand overlay them on your pieces of glass
to make sure that they're the right size.
Then you have to like, score it and cutit and break the glass and all around it.
And then they have these grindersthat you use to smooth it out.
(38:38):
they're like a wet grinder.
And then once you smooth it allout, then you use a copper tape
that you put all around it.
And then you use the flux, and thenyou use the the aluminum or whatever
it is, the, the metal, whatever.
Metal.
I think it's aluminum that just a big bar.
And you use it with the,I'm losing my words here.
What's the word?
(38:58):
The hot thing that you
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
A solder. (39:00):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yes, the soldering iron. (39:01):
undefined
And then the metal with that, andthen you just go through and you
cover all of the copper tape with it.
It was a lot of fun.
I made a, a dog's paw.
Shannon made a, a hand doing the I loveyou hand, and Tracy made a fish, so
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (39:15):
Cool.
I.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
I would definitely do it again. (39:16):
undefined
It was a lot of fun, especiallynow that I know what I'm doing,
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (39:20):
Yeah.
Uh, I played with enamels for, um, justlike one semester in, uh, college, which
is, it's not like it's similar to stainedglass because some of the powder, whatever
that you fire to make the, the colors,it's some of its ground up glass, I think.
But I, I, it was kind of,um, unpredictable because the
(39:43):
way it doesn't look like it'sgonna look when it comes out.
And so you'll think like, oh, thiscolor is gonna be beautiful or
whatever, and it'll come out brown.
So I was not super, I, I know it'sbecause I wasn't very knowledgeable
and people who know what they're doingcan make beautiful things doing that.
But I think the glass thing wouldbe more fun 'cause you could kind
of, if you weren't already superknowledgeable, still kind of make
(40:04):
something cool by accident, at least.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (40:06):
undefined
It was crazy how much chemistrywas involved with Shannon's glazes
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Mm-hmm. (40:10):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
and stuff in her, in her, (40:10):
undefined
uh, ceramics program.
There was a lot of chemistry involved.
I.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Yeah, my mom worked at a ceramics (40:15):
undefined
place for a while down in Tennessee.
I don't remember exactly what she did.
I think she, uh, well it was a smallplace, so she probably did a little bit of
everything, but it wasn't like that stuff.
It was mostly just the kind where you pourit into a mold and make certain things.
I think we must've been really smallor we didn't go there very often.
(40:38):
You know, like when you're a certain age,you go to work with your parents a lot.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (40:41):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
So I remembering like she had (40:42):
undefined
so many weird jobs like thatwhen we were, when I was small.
If I was small then Vanessawas probably like an infant.
Yeah, she worked at a ceramicsplace and she worked at do
you know the brand Duck Head?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Uh, vaguely. (40:54):
undefined
Vaguely.
I think.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
It's kind of like a, a tough (40:56):
undefined
wearing, you know, jeans company.
I don't know if they're still around.
They had a plant there, in Jellico
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Oh. (41:05):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
that she worked at for a while. (41:06):
undefined
I wonder if they're still around.
Always future facing, drawingstrength, growth and inspiration
from its deep roots in history.
These are clothes, you guys, are you okay?
Yeah.
Like this is one of those likefancy brands that outsourced.
(41:27):
Its like they, it probablywent from in Jellico to.
Uh, Singapore or something, youknow, like they as soon as there
was a third er world to sendtheir, to outsource their labor to.
They did, but it was fucking, and it waskind of weird because it was like whatever
factory there was around that there wouldbe random really nice clothes from it
(41:50):
on the poorest kids you've ever seen.
And it was always like stuff thatthe stitches weren't quite right or,
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Right. (41:57):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
'cause they was uh, also, uh, a lot (41:58):
undefined
of kids in the high school, they werewearing Jordache and like Guess jeans,
like super popular, expensive shit.
But it's because it was all madein factories around there, and
all the seconds got thrown outor sold at the second stores.
Did you ever shop at those,like the, was it goodies?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Like the factory stores. (42:20):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Yeah, there was certain stores (42:22):
undefined
around like Corbin or down inLafa that only sold seconds, and
I think Goodies was one of them.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (42:31):
undefined
We had a goodies.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (42:32):
I
was in TJ Maxx one time and I said, I
was talking to the person I was withand referenced, I said something like,
check the zippers on that before youget it, because these are seconds,
and so sometimes it's the zipper.
And a, a staff member was going by and shegoes, they're not seconds, it's overstock.
(42:52):
And I was like, okay.
The overstock in the store just happensto mostly have ruined zippers and seams
and two different length pants slicks.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Like Gabe's, (43:03):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Gabes, I haven't heard of that one. (43:04):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
oh, they're, they're a big chain. (43:06):
undefined
Used to be Gabriel Brothers.
Now it's just Gabe's.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Gabe's? (43:11):
undefined
No, I don't.
Don't use my precise location.
American off-price Departmentstore headquartered in
Morgantown, West Virginia.
Haven't heard of that one.
What about an Ollie's?
I love an Ollie's.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
But there's a Ollie up here in BG (43:24):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (43:27):
Yeah.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
where the big Lots used to be. (43:28):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I love a cheap ass store. (43:29):
undefined
I.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
yeah, me too. (43:31):
undefined
But I will not eat food from them.
I just, my dad was a regional managerfor Big Lots at odd lots when in the
eighties and they would get food in andthere would be spoiled food in the food,
in the canned stuff and stuff like that.
And I just heard too many horror stories.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
The dollar stores are the same way. (43:46):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
either. (43:49):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
like there are certain things that (43:50):
undefined
I will get from a dollar store that
it's, it's kind of like knowing howto buy food at the Dollar Store is
similar to being literate in media.
Like you have to know how todecide what is okay to take
a chance on and what's not.
Like I've seen people that gotlike dog food or something from
(44:11):
the Dollar Store, full 'em moths.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Have you seen the dollar steaks? (44:13):
undefined
Who's buying and eaten thedollar steaks from the Dollar
General or the Dollar Tree?
The Dollar Tree has 'em here.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Mm-hmm. (44:21):
undefined
Like you go there and get some bulkcandy or get your pops or whatever.
But yeah.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
a garbage can from my bathroom there. (44:29):
undefined
Like
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (44:31):
Right.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
things like that or. (44:31):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (44:33):
Yeah.
Although, like somethingthat happens out here.
'cause nobody cares.
Nobody, you're not, nobody'sgonna get reported for a
single goddamn thing out here.
So the stores, the grocery stores, theydon't cycle out their expired stuff.
They don't, I, I bought a thing ofpeanut butter at the store here and
(44:53):
I opened it and it was more solid.
It was solid like Play-Dohthat had been set out.
And I was, and all of the um, the oil, thepeanut oil had separated up out the top.
And I was like, okay, maybe Ijust need to stir it or something.
It wouldn't stir.
It was actually solid
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
wow. (45:10):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
under that. (45:11):
undefined
And I was like, what is going on?
Because it was just Kroger brand,which should have been my first
'cause there's not a Kroger here.
And it, I did not buy this at a Kroger.
I bought it at the, fell offthe back of the truck store
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Gotcha. (45:22):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
So I was like, oh, okay. (45:23):
undefined
And I looked at the uh, best Buy date onit and it was six months prior to that.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Oh wow. (45:29):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
The best buy date on something (45:30):

that is damn near shelf stableis like two years in the future.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah, (45:37):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
So this stuff rolled off of whatever (45:38):
undefined
assembly line five years ago.
And I was like, what do I do about this?
You know, like I'm becomingpart of the problem now.
'cause I don't knowwho to tell about this,
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
One time I saw a recipe on the (45:54):
undefined
back of a ketchup bottle, and Iposted about it on Facebook and my
friend went and made the recipe.
Guess what it was?
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (46:02):
Uh,
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Peanut butter, ketchup cookies. (46:02):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
was this like a name brand ketchup? (46:05):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
heinz. (46:08):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Oh my god. (46:08):
undefined
Was this a April Fool's joke or some shit?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
it was just a regular bottle with (46:12):
undefined
a peanut butter cookie recipe onthe back of it when I was appalled.
So I posted about it on Facebook, andmy friend Tara was like, I'll bake 'em.
And she made them, and shesaid they weren't too bad.
I was like, Ugh,
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
What a weird (46:25):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
yeah, I like sweet and salty, you know? (46:26):
undefined
I like sweet and sour.
I like the, the dichotomy of sweetand something else, but no, no, no.
Not peanut butter and ketchup.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Yeah, well, 'cause ketchup isn't, (46:35):
undefined
it's neither sweet nor salty.
Tomatoes are umami.
So there are five tongue tastes.
I think especially in the westernworld in America, we only think
about the four sweet salty,sour, and what's the other one?
Bitter.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (46:52):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
but there's a fifth one called umami, (46:53):
undefined
which is the flavor of a mushroom.
It's that earthy flavor.
And tomatoes are really likesomebody I, I saw some Alton Brown
thing where they were looking forthe most umami flavor there is.
And tomatoes have the most of that.
And so like, that's one of the reasonswhy like ketchup is shoved full of sugar
(47:17):
and all these other additives and it'sstill always gonna taste like that.
You can't get the tomato ness out of it.
It's one of the reasonsI think it does exist.
Isn't it also technically a mustardgetting into weird stuff here?
' cause there's different kindsof mustards or No, there's
different kinds of ketchups.
What is ketchup?
Google's gonna be so sick of me.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Google's just gonna be glad (47:39):
undefined
you're not searching for porn likeeverybody else on the internet.
Unless you're using the mustardfor the and for the porn.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (47:46):
Oh.
All right.
Different kinds of ketchup.
Banana, mango, apple, mushroom,walnut, curry, truffle.
Yeah.
So there's like, ketchup is a process,not necessarily its ingredients,
um, but like, um, I think Americais most into tomato, ketchup.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Fancy tomato ketchup at that. (48:07):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
tomato, ketchup. (48:09):
undefined
Yeah.
Like this is, I have gone downthis rabbit hole before and I,
I'm not gonna do it again becauseit actually gets kind of deep.
I, but ketchup.
Oh my God.
That used to be I wouldeat ketchup sandwiches.
I would eat shit just soI could put ketchup on it.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Ew. (48:23):
undefined
So when I worked at a group home onetime, I had a same guy that did that too.
He say, put ketchup on it, Harv,and he put ketchup on everything.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Uh, I'm, I mean, I'm prob I (48:32):
undefined
wouldn't say everything, but I do.
I don't know, I justloved the flavor of it.
I loved that my two favorite flavorswere whatever that umami was.
Like anything that had that in it.
Um, and salt.
So I would take just a white pieceof white bread and put a fuck load
(48:55):
of ketchup on it and just anotherpiece on top of it, and that I would
eat literally a ketchup sandwich.
I would, um, suck on bullion cubes.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Ew. (49:04):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I just, I think I needed a (49:05):
undefined
lot of salt when I was a kid.
I think my body was like craving salt.
'Cause I would also takethe, the salt packets.
You'd get it like a Hardee's orsomething, and I would put them in my
lip, like it was a, a dip or something.
And I would suck on thoseuntil the salt was all gone.
And then I would eat the paper.
I used to also love eating paper.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
That's different. (49:25):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I think that I just was (49:26):
undefined
a little malnourished.
And so I, I remember likecrawling around the floor looking
for pieces of paper to eat,
and then I discovered the spicesand things in the cabinet.
And so I would, I wouldsuck on the bullion cubes.
Those were my favorites.
(49:46):
And I think mom actually did eventuallybe like, where's all my bullion going?
That's how I, I, I think learnedto make meals and get calories
and things like that from the,at the food court and stuff.
Like, I would take the hot sauce packetsand I would eat those ketchup packets,
mustard, honey, and a lot of like, salt.
(50:06):
And I would just eatthat stuff all the time.
But yeah, it is real weird.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah, (50:10):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I don't know what paper, (50:10):
undefined
what it was about paper.
There's nothing nutritional about paper.
I just liked it.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
it's got a lot of fiber, (50:15):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (50:16):
Yeah.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
but I'm, (50:17):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
well, did you bring us a (50:18):
undefined
noun of Appalachian interest?
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
I did, I did, I did. (50:21):
undefined
Uh, this one has my mother-in-lawin mind because she has a whole.
full of these.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (50:30):
hmm.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
All right, let's talk about a true (50:31):
undefined
Appalachian icon, the paper plate holder.
Now, if you didn't grow up withone, it might not look like much.
Just a little plastic frame, usuallyred that your paper plate snaps into.
But the second that you use it, yourealize this thing is doing serious work.
It takes a plate that's one scoopof potato salad away from folding
(50:52):
in half and turning it intosomething you can actually trust.
Because Appalachian food is heavy.
We're not out here balancing afew chips and calling it dinner.
We're sticking baked beans and macaroni,deviled eggs, and maybe a piece of
cakes that's that's already leaning.
That plate is under pressure,and without help, it's gonna
fail you, but not with a holder.
That little piece ofplastic gives you structure.
(51:13):
You can stand to talk, walk across theyard, maybe even chase a kid or two,
and your food stays where it belongs.
No midair folding, no paniccatch, just stability.
And you'll see them everywhere.
Cookouts, church dinners, family reunions.
Somebody always brings a stack.
Some are a little warped, some got astain that tell a story, but they're all
still in rotation, still doing their job.
(51:35):
It's not fancy, it's notnew, but it solves a problem.
And it solves it well, the paper plateholder, because sometimes you don't need
more plate, you just need a little backup.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I remember, um, styrofoam (51:43):
undefined
plates were revolutionary.
Everybody thought those were just,' cause they, they solved that problem.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (51:51):
undefined
The soggy problem.
But they would break in half pretty
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Mm-hmm. (51:55):
undefined
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
But yeah, no, the, the paper plate holder, (51:56):
undefined
uh, my mother-in-law has been usingthose since Shanna was a kid and they,
they, she's a diehard fan of them, man.
And I think they're great.
'cause you
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (52:07):
Yeah.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
dishes, but you still get dish quality. (52:07):
undefined
You know,
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (52:10):
Yeah.
They're genius.
And if you lost one or brokeone, then you were in some shit.
Vanessa had a birthday yesterdayand she said her kids got her
silverware for her birthday.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
That's an odd choice. (52:23):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Maybe she wanted it, maybe she (52:25):
undefined
did that thing where she was like,sure would like some silverware And
the kids are like, I have an idea.
Mom's gonna be 70 this year, assuming.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah, my mom died two (52:34):
undefined
weeks before she turned 70.
She almost made it.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (52:38):
Yeah.
You know, like she's back in thehospital, um, now, but, they say
they have an idea for treatment.
Here's the thing, here's the thingabout what this big, beautiful fucking
bill has done and about what rural.
Access to rural medicine is like,because they know what's wrong with her.
(52:59):
She's got lung cancer and she has,uh, some sort of heart failure.
They're not sure, but, um, she'sgonna need a pacemaker and they
keep having to drain off fluidthat collects in her chest.
I'm not sure where it's coming from.
The all that stuff is so jammed together.
But,
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Right. (53:15):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (53:16):
but
so like they know she needs a pacemaker
and some medication to help with that,but her heart's not, it's not awful.
Right?
It can be repaired.
She might need a new valve, maybe.
But they can't do that until they treatthe cancer because cancer is causing the
excess fluid, uh, problem they think.
(53:38):
But they can't treat the cancer until theyfind out whether it's metastasized first.
They can't do that until they.
Do this kind of scan, a PET scan, andthere's one fucking pet scanner in all of
eastern Kentucky that drives around on asemi-truck and it's like from hospital to
hospital and it's booked out for months.
So
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
oh wow. (53:58):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (53:59):
So
it's like they feel like they could,
whatever it is, is treatable, butis there time to navigate this mess?
And then, not to mention thatthey're on Medicare and one of
those parts has been canceled.
So that probably adds to the wait time.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah, for (54:14):
undefined
sure.
Could they go to adifferent part of the state?
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
No, like you have to go, you have (54:18):
undefined
to go through that maze of referraland seeing this doctor, like for,
she's in the hospital right now.
They can't do the scans becausethey can't be ordered out of order.
'cause Vanessa was like, can't theyjust sneak this shit in while you're
just sitting there in the hospital?
And she's like, Nope.
Apparently not.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Bless her heart. (54:38):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
is what we meant by this (54:39):
undefined
is gonna kill people.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Yeah. (54:42):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
Because when you cut down on the (54:43):
undefined
resource itself, then it turnsinto a case of there's one scanner
floating around a whole region tryingto treat its aging population whose
benefits have also been canceled.
I just thought of that though.
Like when I, I remember thinking aboutthe big beautiful bill and it feel, it
felt like we kind of moved on, which wedo because this shit just keeps coming.
(55:06):
and then I just rememberedlike, no, this is what we knew.
This is how we knew this was gonna go.
This is what it's gonna do for people.
I just, I hope we get out of this shit,
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
I hope we survive it. (55:15):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
but it just could be too late. (55:17):
undefined
It probably already is toolate for several people.
I mean, for all we know.
I think he's gonna die soon though.
People are like, he looks like shit.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Well. (55:26):
undefined
We can hope
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248 (55:28):
Yeah.
If anybody's getting the bestmedical care in the world, it's
gonna be this undeserving fuck.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
hard. (55:32):
undefined
Yeah.
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
I'm, I'm impressed that she's (55:34):
undefined
going to the doctor, right?
Like, this is not behavior that she hasever like exhibited before in her life.
So, and she said somethinglike, gosh, why me?
Why does it feel like it'sall piling up right now?
And I was like, I don't know, becauseyou've been sick for decades and
refused to go to the fucking doctor.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
That could be it, (55:50):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
And she just went, good point. (55:52):
undefined
I learned it from watching you, mom.
No, I'm going to the doc.
I mean, I haven't, but I am now.
I'm trying to become somebody thattakes their health more seriously
in my forties instead of my sixties
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
right? (56:06):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
anyway. (56:07):
undefined
It's gonna be 60 degrees here today,so I think I'm gonna go for a bike
ride before I make make the episode.
beck-a-roonie-guest595_34_03-29-2026_120245:
Shanna had the whole weekend off (56:14):
undefined
dash--he-him-_33_03-29-2026_110248:
