Tiffany, From The 80's and Jōb From The Bible

Perfect for listeners interested in: LGBTQ+ podcasts, Appalachian culture, queer identity, rural America stories, 1980s-90s nostalgia, internet history, and authentic conversations about growing up different in small-town America.

Beck and Dash chat about internet nostalgia, Olympic figure skating, and growing up queer in Appalachia. They swap stories about celebrity encounters (Tiffany from the '80s, anyone?), childhood games, questionable gifts, and the terrifying critters of rural life—from brown recluse infestations to snakes shooting across driveways.

This week's Noun of Appalachian Interest: Camden Park, the stubborn 1903 amusement park in Huntington, West Virginia that's survived everything from floods to the apocalypse (literally—it's in Fallout 76).

Plus: The Gravel Grapple All-Terrain Wrestling Mat sponsors this episode, because every backyard wrestling alliance needs proper equipment.

Woo-hoo.
How's your day been?

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (00:20):
Not bad.
It is cold here again andhad some, some meetings.
I meet with some of my students,one-on-ones on Fridays.
You know, I'm, I'm allowedto work 20 hours a week.
That's how many meetings I have.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (00:35):
Oh, wow.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (00:36):
It was just, I mean, student affairs
is just meetings and meetings.
Hell,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (00:42):
It was cold as hell here today,
like in the twenties.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (00:46):
yeah, it's, uh, 12 degrees here and then
the windshield is like negative 10.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (00:53):
Ugh.

' dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: cause the wind is 20. (00:54):
undefined

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: degrees here the other day. (00:56):
undefined
It

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (00:57):
Yeah, right.
Like for the majorityof this, of this week.
Was it this week or last week?
Not long ago.
It was several days of like50 degrees was glorious.
All the snow melted and now it's all back.
Oh, well how was your Friday?

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:13):
Pretty good.
We, uh, we went to BobEvans for b for breakfast.
She worked the overnight, so she sleptin, and so we went to a late lunch.
That was
nice.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:22):
Yeah.
It's cheat day.
So I have had two donutstoday and I'm high as a kite.
I.
On sugar.
I have found something hystericalthat I wanna play for you.
Um, you remember when we weretalking about the little Lee Bryce
and his song about his to-do list?

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:40):
Right.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:41):
Somebody has done something hysterical to it and
it's, it's like it's a win for editing.
Like the wonders of editing andhow like omitting certain words
can make something sound worse.
So I just want, you wantto play this for you.
Hot.
My fish, my truck here Imy grass, my dog, my boots.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (02:11):
Jimmy Kimmel every week has, uh, this
week an unnecessary censorship.
And they'll play like that andthey'll, they'll beep it out.
that, that's funny.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (02:19):
It just tore me up when I found it.
that's some of my favorite kind of humor.
There was one video that I found of,you know, that show the Big Bang Theory.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (02:32):
Yeah.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: You know, it's whatever. (02:33):
undefined
It's very mid, you know.
But they use, they use a live audience'cause it's just a classic sitcom set up.
And the audiences for those are queuedon when to laugh, but sometimes they're
also allowed to laugh naturally.
But somebody took out the sound of thelive audience reacting to the jokes
and just edited in the sound of RickyGervais laughing, just him laughing with,

(02:59):
and he has a very, like, he cackles.
And so they would do their kind ofdumb jokes and then, and that was it.
That was the only sound Iwas like, whoever did this,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: People are so funny. (03:09):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (03:11):
they are, I, I just love the things people
get up to just for the hell of it.
And the internet like that is theinternet and it's the purest form.
And that's how I remember the internet.
From back when, you know, 20 years ago.
That doesn't mean that it was apure place because I'd say people
got away with worse things.
but like the surface level net, which iswhere most of us hung out all the time,

(03:35):
I just remember like that being what weused it for before, before social media.
Right around the Web 2.0
era.
Would you call what we're in now Web3 0.0?
I'm curious.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: It is definitely a step up. (03:47):
undefined
I, I think we're in thethird wave of queer.
Of queer activism.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (03:53):
Okay.
Um, are I did, do we do that?
Are there waves of queer activism?
I guess there would be.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (03:59):
Yeah.
I've never heard it like.
I've never seen it written down somewhere.
But I mean the first wave wouldbe like the Stonewall era, that
kind of, those kind of movements.
And then the AIDS movementwould be the second one.
And then the third onewould be where we're at now.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (04:14):
Mm-hmm.
Right.
Yeah.
And I've been thinking just from likea media, perspective, like studying
media, the way people express themselves,it's kind of changing in, especially
in like the context of say like theOlympics, the way we've been filming

(04:34):
and streaming them has changed.
I, I think about you actually, um,whenever I watch the figure skating
because of your, misophonia with the soundof dry ice, like ice scraping because
they have a mic to the ice, like thesound of their, so every time I see it
now I'm like, oh God, I bet be hates that.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (04:54):
I listen to it.
I watch it with the volumedown for that reason.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (04:57):
because even for me, I'm like, oh, I
kind of, I kind of see her point,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (05:01):
it's terrible.
It gives me goosebumps.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (05:04):
but the, the way the kids are interacting
with media and, and being themselvesa bit more is really refreshing.
Especially like, and the, thewomen finished up their stuff
last night, so have you seen theresults of that and everything?
I don't wanna spoil any.
Listeners, if you haven't, we're aboutto discuss who, who got what medal.
So skip 30 seconds aheadif you haven't seen it yet.

(05:26):
But it's so interesting with thethree Americans in particular, of
the way they are on camera, likethey're cussing and stuff on camera.
And you know, the one who islike representing her queer
identity is very important to her.
She keeps bringing that upin interviews and stuff.
And, but this one girl who wonthe gold, Alyssa, she retired a

(05:48):
champion I think when she was 16and then like just got bored and
decided to become a gold medalist.
And I just like, thatis not how this worked.
What, what is possible now thatwe are, are sort of loosening the
reigns a little bit on young people.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (06:06):
40 something year old Olympian, uh, skater?

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (06:10):
Hell yeah.
There was a 50 something year old, curler.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (06:15):
I can see that.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: Yeah, I could, I don't know. (06:16):
undefined
I mean, I don't knowif my back would do it.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (06:20):
Yeah, you have to get folded up pretty,
pretty tightly there to serve it.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (06:24):
Yeah, they've got, they've got like,
you know, some dump trunk muscles.
Probably

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: When does feeling frisky? (06:28):
undefined
So if you hear her in the background,she'll sleep and sleep and sleep and
then she'll decide she wants to play.
And so she'll just start likethrowing a little temper tantrum.
But in a cute way, like not angry,she just barks at you a little bit.
She's like, Hey, pay attention to me.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (06:49):
So we are not yet in Web3 0.0.
Technically it's still, we are in Web 2.0.
Interesting.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: Where was the dividing line? (06:56):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (06:58):
Well, web 1.0
is like, people might callit like the static web.
it was very like, uh, not interactive, sopeople had email, but like websites when
it came to, to surfing there was verylike way less capable infrastructure.
this is before like Alta Vista and Yahoo,and SGS in them kind of had to know the

(07:21):
website and they weren't interactive.
So Web 2.0
was Internet Relay Chat.
Mud done dun, like dungeons, multi-userchat rooms and stuff like that, and
comment sections on websites, geocities and stuff like it be Web 2.0
was kind of like, it became moredemocratized, more accessible to

(07:43):
people who weren't like whizzesat HTML and stuff like that.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (07:47):
Like what a OL opened up for people.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (07:49):
Yeah.
Um, yeah, so I ge I wondered likemy, I guess my question was, is there
some other type of paradigm shiftthat, that we consider to be Web3 0.0?
And there is, we just haven't reachedit yet, and I don't know that we
will, because now we're, we're kindof relinquishing control of the

(08:10):
internet to techno oligarchs and ai.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (08:14):
The AI is getting overwhelming and
we are just at the beginning.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (08:17):
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: I am trying to stave off the (08:19):
undefined
crying, so I gotta treat out.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (08:22):
Oh,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: We'll see if that that'll work. (08:22):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (08:24):
you have to give her like gummy treats
'cause she don't have no teeth.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (08:28):
No, I just break 'em into little pieces
and she gums it and swallows it.
She could take pretty big bites.
She would be surprised.
She got Shannon sausagefrom Bob Evans today.
She loved that I listened tothe weirdest book this week.
I don't even know how I came upon it, butI was going through audio books and for
whatever reason I clicked on that one.

(08:48):
And it was called Burnt Ends, it wasa murder mystery basically, uh, set
around a Kansas City barbecue joint.
And so in, in the end, so if readers,if you don't, our li our listeners,
if you don't wanna hear the, the, thetwist at the end of this particular
book, skip ahead like you did earlier.
So in the end, it turns out to beher cousin who, his girlfriend.

(09:12):
So they're, it's like a, hisgirlfriend is a vegan and he's
trying to turn her a vegan.
It's a whole meat empire, right?
And so the, the vegan is, is, isdrugging the cousin with p uh, PCP.
And he had a, a, anobsession with Mickey Mouse.
And so she ma he liketurned into evil Mickey.
And when he turned into evil Mickey,

(09:34):
he killed it.
He killed his father by,by putting a, a tick.
One of those lone star ticks thathave the alpha guy allergies.
The, the meat allergy that youget once you get a tick bite.
I don't know if you'veheard of that before.
And so then he got a meat, 'cause itwas a meat empire and his meat allergy,
he died from eating his own meat.
And it was the twist.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (09:53):
Jesus.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (09:55):
And the whole time the narrator is on Oxycontin
the, the, the, the author has clearlynever done any drugs in her life,
the way that she described them.
Like, she's just kept, she's like,well, I took three more girl.
If you took three Oxycontins,you'd be so flat on your ass.
Right.
And in, in the, in, in the, in theapex of the story the killer is trying

(10:17):
to kill our narrator and she injectsher with heroin, and she is, and she's
only been on drugs again for a week,and she says that she's been on so much
oxy that her tolerance was up and thatthey couldn't kill her because of that,
because she's been on 'em for a week.
Like it was.
It was, I had to finish it once Istarted it, but it was a very odd book.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: I can't find it. (10:36):
undefined
Oh, there it is.
Private investigator, Tori Swenson.
Weird.
There's a, that show.
Oh, the Natasha Leoneone poker face has a,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (10:49):
Yes.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: a barbecue episode. (10:50):
undefined
That's pretty fun.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: Yeah, I need to watch that. (10:53):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: Yeah, I love it. (10:55):
undefined
There's.
I, I was realizing today, like every sooften I think I like come outta whatever
funk that we are all in because it'sFebruary and also the World's on fire.
And I'll like remember, oh yeah,I was in the middle of a bunch of
different series that I was watchingand didn't finish and so I had that.
I remembered that lastnight with Welcome to Dairy.

(11:16):
I never finished that.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (11:18):
I

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (11:18):
And

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (11:19):
wheel of time.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: is that a TV show? (11:20):
undefined

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (11:21):
Oh yeah,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (11:22):
I had no idea.
They made a Robert Jordan.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (11:26):
first season.
It was beautiful.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (11:27):
Wow.
That's Rosamund Pike.
Wow.
I had no idea.
Ooh, Alvaro Morte.
That's on Prime.
I think I, I always forget thatPrime exists and I just remain
if I'm forever out of the loopon, on whatever they're making.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: That's how I feel about Apple tv. (11:45):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (11:47):
I've watched exactly one thing on
Apple TV and it was Ted Lasso,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (11:51):
Yeah.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: which I really liked. (11:52):
undefined
And I think that there's, I think there'sactually four seasons now of Ted Lasso,
so I never even finished a second season.
Men like cis straight men really lovethat show, and that is interesting
to me because the whole point of thatshow is, to make a comedy that isn't.

(12:12):
Cruel to anybody necessarily thatexplores real human relationships
and reactions to things.
But also, you know, it, it doesn't, itisn't like misogynistic or transphobic
or, you know, like all of the lazy stuff.
It doesn't do that.
And it started just kind of as a, asa joke, I think it was a Super Bowl

(12:34):
ad or something a few, several yearsago, based on this idea of a thing that
actually did happen, which is like adude, uh, this American football coach
went to coach of a soccer team in London,and I think wrote some, some essays
about it, but then it got picked up.
I highly recommend it.
It's so interesting and it'svery much about masculinity.

(12:57):
Like what non-toxic masculinity could looklike in what is arguably the most toxic
masculine culture in, in British sports.
I mean, fucking soccer in, in Britain,they have literal gangs that travel
from city to city with the, the, withthese teams and war with each other.

(13:21):
And like they kill each other and stuff.
They call 'em firms.
it is crazy.
Do I, so I put a few thingson the wheel of what have you,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (13:30):
Oh yeah.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (13:31):
and I'm gonna, we haven't done that in a while because
I just haven't had time to refill it.
So

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (13:37):
Right.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: I'll give it a spin and see. (13:38):
undefined
Okay.
I put it, so we landed onredneck gifts or unhinged gifts,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (13:50):
The first thing that popped into my
mind, my dad always made fun ofShanna for being from West Virginia.
'cause we were from Ohio and

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (13:57):
right.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: right Christmas. (13:58):
undefined
One of the things they bought her oneyear was a towel that was half brown,
half white, and one side was for yourass and one side was for your face, and

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (14:06):
What?

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: He was an asshole. (14:07):
undefined
Sometimes

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (14:10):
Yeah.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (14:11):
When I went away to grad school,
my cousins gave me moonshine.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (14:14):
that sounds like kind of normal.
I did, yeah.
I remember it.
You know, some years like it, I don't, Idon't really know the full like economic
scope of how, of what determined this,but there were some years where we
would have kind of like restrained smallamounts of gifts or something and then

(14:35):
some years they would be like big gifts.
Like one year I got aguitar for Christmas, and.
Another year.
I remember I think that maybe theycouldn't afford very nice things.
And so mom would go for like quantityover quality and she still does
this to this day and it's actuallykind of, it drives us crazy.
But, so she just went to the dollarstore and back then, like you could

(14:59):
get multiple things for a dollarand would, she would just come out
with a cart full of utter garbage.
This was not, these were not good toys.
And then individually wrapped them sothat it looked like there was just a
mountain of toys under the Christmas tree.
And opening those was like everyyear, like I'd be tired of opening
'em by the time we were done.
And I'm like, these aren't any, whatdo you want us to do with these?

(15:23):
This is a 10 cent.
Do you remember like the, um.
Water pistols that you filled actuallyfilled them with water and they leaked
real bad and never held the water.
It was, it's like 10 of those.
Gee, thanks mom.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (15:38):
yeah.
Three squirts and they break.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (15:40):
Yeah.
So it was a bunch of shit like that.
I'm like, I know this is about you.
This is about you feeling bad fornot being able to buy us Nice stuff.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (15:48):
Yeah.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (15:49):
Like all of my favorite toys and all of like
my favorite thing things that peoplegave me was secondhand weird stuff.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (15:57):
I can remember some of my favorites,
like they got me a Phantom of theOpera, a CD set, and it came with
a really cool book and everything.
I listened to the hell out of that.
The C,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (16:06):
Yeah.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: what was it with the Phantom (16:06):
undefined
of the Opera in the nineties.
Everybody was obsessed with it.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (16:10):
Everybody was obsessed with Andrew Lloyd Weber.
Like

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (16:13):
Yeah.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: just, he could do no wrong. (16:14):
undefined
I did, I used to sing aphantom piece for competition.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (16:19):
Oh yeah.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (16:20):
Yeah.
I used to do Wishing youwere somehow here again,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (16:23):
That's awesome.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (16:24):
because it, I was a soprano one and it
has a g in it and I could hit it.
So, and I always knew Iwould win if I did that song.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: So that's awesome. (16:33):
undefined
I've never been able to sing, but Iwas in show choir, so there's that.
I just didn't sing loud.
I,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: I think, I'm pretty sure. (16:46):
undefined
Yeah.
My, my Geo was actually agift from my dad, the metro.
And it was, it was garbage.
As soon as like when he, by the timehe was done with it, it was trash.
And that's, so, I don't know.
What would you say, like, yourfavorite gift you ever got?
Was

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (17:03):
Oh, wow.
Probably my car, the, theMalibu that my dad bought me.
It meant a lot and it was,it only had 800 miles on it.
When he gave it to me, he boughtit, totaled that he rebuilt it.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (17:14):
yeah.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (17:14):
old man had pulled out the traffic basically five
minutes after buying it and crashed it.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: Oh, that's heartbreaking. (17:19):
undefined

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (17:21):
Yeah.
But it was mine after that and I droveit till it had 200,000 miles on it.
So I got my money's worth outta that one.
He was just so proud of it.
He gave it to me.
'cause when I, when I graduatedwith my associate's degree, I was
asked to speak at the graduation,like in front of like 1300 people.
It was wild.
And he was so proud andthat, that was my gift.

(17:42):
He told me that as long as I was inschool, he would keep me in a car
and he never knew I was gonnamake a profession out of it.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: you found a loophole. (17:49):
undefined

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (17:51):
The last time I saw him, he was
helping me get my car fixed.
I went home.
I, I drove down to ScioCounty to uh, to his mechanic.
He had a friend that was a really goodmechanic and he would work real cheap,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (18:03):
Oh.
I remember one year for Christmas,my uncle Steve, who we, it's,
this is my dad's brother.
We just never reallyhave known him very well.
He's very separate to, to like you.
I don't think you can do,there's no moderation with a
relationship with my grandmother.
She's like controlling and so he justkind of milked out and I don't blame him.

(18:27):
And to my knowledge, he doesn't have kids.
He's not married, don't knowanything about the dude, but
he's always very sweet to us.
And we, we saw him literally twicea year at Thanksgiving and Christmas
and one year, I don't know why.
He randomly bought all three of us,a pair of snake skin, cowboy boots.

(18:52):
Real snake skin to growing children
like these are great for thesix months I fit into them.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (19:00):
That is wild.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: It was so weird. (19:01):
undefined
He, he had, he was justa, he is a strange dude.
He is still alive, but ha I justdon't see him, um, that much.
But, I think he very muchjust like still left.
He lived his life howeverhe fucking felt like it.
And um, he went into truck driving andso he always had disposable income.

(19:22):
I remember one year he, uh,had some sort of video game.
This was, it could have been anAtari or something like that, but I
think it was, um, like proprietary,like this system only did this one
thing and it was a flight simulatorthat you hooked up to your tv.
And, uh, grandmother Papa had a bigTV down in the basement and so he
brought that I remember to whateverholiday it was and plugged it up and

(19:47):
we just flew planes for the wholetime down there in the basement.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (19:50):
that's
fun.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (19:51):
was so cool.
Like, I, and I wish I was old enoughto remember it more clearly, but,
'cause we were pretty little and soit was, I just remember, this is a
very magical experience in my memory,even though it was probably fairly
normal, but this would've been,you know, the, the late eighties.
So whatever it was, was probablyvery expensive and ahead of its time.

(20:14):
But then now thinking back on it, it'slike he had that because he wanted
to play it because it wasn't a gift.
He just brought it sowe could play with it.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: That's like, that's fun though. (20:22):
undefined
I didn't have any cool uncles like that.
Glenn would beat your ass andeverybody thought it was hilarious.
Like, if it was your birthday, he wouldget you down and instead of tickling
you, he would like, like hurt you.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (20:35):
yeah.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (20:36):
I hated it.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (20:37):
yeah.
The, the birthday whippings,what even was that?
I, so, and listeners, do you, did your,where you grew up, did people do this?
Especially if you're not, I assume ifyou grew up in Appalachia and you're
anywhere near our age, you're familiarwith the birthday whippings, but like,
is this something in other places?
I, you just like, you justresurfaced memories for me of that.

(20:59):
What the fuck?
Why would you do that?
Oh, it's your birthday.
Come here, let me beat you.
And one to grow on.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (21:07):
yeah,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (21:08):
I don't remember that happening to me very often.
I, it wasn't somethingthat my parents did.
Um, but there was always afucking uncle or papa or somebody
that, that was ready to do it.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (21:19):
yeah.
That was my Uncle Glen.
He didn't have any kids of hisown, so he spoiled all the nieces
and nephews and he liked to playwith us, but man, was he rough?
Shoo.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (21:29):
That's no fun.
I think some, because I, I've,I've had the, those like older
men in, in our lives too.
And even if it's nothing pervyor something, it's still like,
you just like hurting us.
You like hurting children.
You know?
This hurts.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (21:43):
yeah,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (21:43):
The, the tickling that's actually just like
fucking punching me or slapping me.
Like, you can't convince me you thinkthat this is actually how tickling works.
And matter of fact, stop tickling me.
'cause that's not pleasant either.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (21:57):
yeah.
You don't have the wordsfor that when you're little.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (21:59):
No, man.
The, the differences between howwe were raised and how, I think
probably a large number of gen alphais being raised is, is so wild to me.
Like the, the language that they'rebeing given to talk about themselves and
their autonomy and their needs and wants.
It's so cool.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (22:20):
I am a faculty sponsor of a kids, uh, not, she's not
a kid of a student's honors projectfor this semester, and she is creating.
A pamphlet that is basicallysex ed for kindergartners.
Talking about autonomy and agency andconsent and understanding your body parts.

(22:40):
Like nobody is saying, here'sa vagina, here's a penis, put
them together and make a baby.
Right?
That's not what you teach kindergartners,but you do tell them about their bodies
because say Papa is touching theircookie and they tell you that and you
don't know by what they mean by cookie.
You know, there's just so much powerand, and knowledge and information
for kids, and so that's the projectthat we are doing right now.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (23:03):
There's a, a, a friend of mine who works here wrote
a book, the Birds, the Bees, and theelephant in the room talking to your kids
about sex and other sensitive topics.
Um, just came out, I think lastyear, the year before that is, you
know, fairly, fairly revolutionary.

(23:23):
Her bio is so funny, known as Suge toher nearly 1 million TikTok followers.
I can, I'll send you thelink to that for your student

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (23:34):
do.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
I've got one dog wedged behind me, betweenme and the back of the couch, I've got
one sitting here crying for no reason.
Oh, I miss having a cat so much.
I need to play with a cat.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: I will send you this one. (23:48):
undefined
You could volunteer at the shelter,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (23:52):
Oh, no.
I could not.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (23:53):
you'd come home with one in each pocket

. beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: I, yeah, for real. (23:55):
undefined
I come home with like five of 'em.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (23:59):
It's tough.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (24:00):
I got my first cat at the shelter and
it was so hard 'cause I wantedto bring home the whole litter.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (24:11):
I was thinking about my first cat
I think it was this morning.
How did you, well, how oldwere you when you got yours?

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (24:17):
Oh, well, um, we had a cat growing up, but I
wasn't in charge of it or anything.
And his name was Pedro, the Devil Cat.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (24:23):
Yeah.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (24:24):
but on my own I was, it was after I
dropped outta college the firsttime, so I had to have been 20 ish.
And I was with my first girlfriendand we went and we had our apartment
together and we went and got a cat.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (24:35):
I remember being obsessed with cats
for as long as I, as long as I havebeen able to like think on my own.
I've been obsessed with cats and Ibegged and begged and you know, mom
had very good reasons for saying no.
We lived in a pretty small trailerin a trailer park there was five of
us in this little trailer, and itwas like a, literally one of those

(24:59):
trailer parks where the o everyother trailer was 10 feet away.
So there was no yard.
It was right on in themiddle of a bunch of streets.
And then, you know, she was like,who's gonna take care of it?
You know, it's gonna need care.
And I begged and begged and begged.
He's trying to lay on themicrophone, gimme that.
And then one day, I guess I think Iwas pro, I think I was about eight, I

(25:23):
guess they decided to let me try it out.
And we went.
Uh, around to various vet offices.
' cause there wasn't, um, likeshelters or anything in Jellico.
And so we just drove around tovet's offices and I remember
being like, do you have any cats?
And we went to Corbin and therewas a vet's office there and we

(25:45):
went in and maybe mom had calledhim or something, I don't know.
But I just remember we wentin and I was like, do you have
any cats that need a home?
And they handed across the counter and Iwas like, barely tall enough, or not even.
I remember having to look up atthe counter and they like reached
this cat over top of it to me.
And it was a, it was a kitten, but likeup to the larger, you know, the stage

(26:08):
where it plays a lot and it's very fluffy,solid black, like bright green eyes.
I, I just.
This memory is seared into my brainof watching this beautiful cat just
sort of float down to me over the,the counter of this vet's office.
And she stayed with us for a while.

(26:29):
We didn't know that you'resupposed to get 'em spayed.
And she got kind of bored and shewanted to go out and get pregnant.
And so we just didn't really understandher behavior needs at the time.
So she went to live at Papa's houseat Granny and Papa's house up on the,
like they lived up in Woodbine, holler,and had, it was like quite a ways away

(26:53):
from a road that had traffic on it.
So she had a pretty good life after that.
And we, I, we didn't have catsagain until we moved up to the
mountainside that we lived on, andthen we had like 30 of them at a time.
We kept a colony of cats.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (27:05):
Wow.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (27:06):
There was so much vermin on the side of
the mountain, that he's like playingwith the mouse, with the track pad.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (27:13):
I heard ago.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: Yeah, he's right up on this. (27:16):
undefined
But you know, there was, there wasall of the regular wildlife on the
mountainside, but then there was allof the snakes and the, the pests and
stuff wanted to come down to the house.
I remember, well there was this onecat, this mother cat, she must have
had five or six litters that were,it was like, they were carbon copies,

(27:38):
the exact same number every time.
All of them had the samepatterns as the previous one.
We named them the same thing every time.
She would have them.
We named 'em after ice cream.
Well, we named them Cream and Sherbert.
But like, so she, she was responsiblefor a large part of the population.

(27:58):
But they, there was so muchfor them to eat up there.
We just kept them and they would fightwith, um, with the possums and things.
So the possums would getthe babies sometimes.
So there was kind of a, a control onit that didn't get too outta control.
But we had quite a few there for a time.
But if we didn't have 'em, I'dhate to think how many mice
we would have in the house.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: Yeah, we couldn't have cats (28:18):
undefined
up on the hill and the holler.
'Cause my dad always kept dogs and itwas their job to keep the hill clear of,
of all the vermin and stuff like that.
So, had there been a cat, itwould've been made at lunch

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (28:31):
Right.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (28:32):
order.
We did have have a lot ofwild bunny rabbits though.
I can only imagine how manybunny rabbits that baby ate.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (28:38):
I guess they could get it or they would
just the way that they proliferate.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (28:43):
Yeah, I only saw snakes up there a couple
of times, but the last time I sawit, I swore I would never, I was
so glad I was selling that place.
There was you had to come up the drivewayand then make a left at the top of the
driveway and drive out a little ways.
And then park in the, in the littleparking lot area in front of my mom's.
And there was a hill there thatw up beside the uh, uh, driveway.

(29:05):
And I was driving through there oneday and a snake shot out from this
little hillside across the drivewayand went down towards the creek
and like it shot out like a gun.
It was like, it was like wild.
That's where I would neverwalk down that driveway again.
Hell no.
I do not like snakes.
One
time, I might have told thisstory before, but my dad used

(29:27):
to keep the grass really short.
They had a pull out back anda wraparound porch and stuff.
And I was, uh, walking around the,the side of the trailer one day and
I looked down and there was like agarter snake or something very small.
It wasn't a big snake.
And I didn't even freak out, but I,I mean, I came in and told my dad
there was a snake and he came out withhis gun and he shot it three times.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (29:46):
Did he hit it?

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (29:47):
Yeah,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (29:47):
Wow.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: he got up close to it. (29:48):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (29:49):
Oh no.
Like point blank.
That is so much more metalthan what I was picturing.
Damn.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: He made short work of that. (30:00):
undefined
Woo.
He said one time hewas down in his garage.
'cause the garage was between, uh, it wasdown down the hill at the bottom of the
driveway and there's a creek down there.
And so there were, of course therewere snakes and stuff like that.
Right.
And he said one time he had one thatwas about as big around as his arm.
He said, climb up the,the wall of his garage.

(30:21):
I would, I wouldn'tstep foot back in there.
I wouldn't do it.
Hell no.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (30:25):
I saw a woman on TikTok who I did not explore further.
It just came across my FYP, butlike she's, her stated goal was to
demystify and destigmatize brown.
Recuses recluse.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (30:40):
Ah.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (30:41):
Yeah.
And so like, she just starts out thevideo and she's got some sort of stick in
her hand and garage behind her is open.
She goes, well, uh, it's been warm lately,so I'm gonna go in here and see if any
of my, if my brown recluse have melted.
And I was like, well.
I'm gonna stick with you, but I don'tknow why like later when I regret this

(31:02):
I could ask myself why I did this.
and she did.
She knew a lot about 'em.
She went in there and she's like, soyeah, these, they've been molting.
So there's a really big onerunning around here somewhere.
'cause these are all the times.
It's molted.
here's how you, can tell if you have anF infestation because they do infest.
And I have had a brown recluseinfestation before for years there.

(31:23):
It followed me to along twomoves because one, you know, an
infestation of anything does and.
People will call you a liar.
They'll call you stu.
Like say you don't knowwhat you're talking about.
Like, oh, you're just freaking out.
You think every, every brownspider you see is a recluse?
No, I, you don't know where I'm from.
'cause this was the Midwest.
And they're like, oh,you're just in Carbondale.

(31:44):
They're like, oh, you're just a city kid.
I'm fucking from Appalachia.
I have slipped withevery critter there is.
I know what a brown recluse looks like.
And so I had to catch one and take itto the the apartment that got infested.
Um, I had to, to catch one andtake it to 'em so they could
then call the exterminator.
And they were like, yeah,that's brown recluse.

(32:04):
How, where'd you get this one?
I was like, I caught it.
It's, it was like in its littlehammock next to my sink, just
chilling there, just fucking chilling.
And he was like, wow.
That's, they don't usuallyget that ballsy, right?
Like, they don't like, so likethe sign of an infestation is
that they get kind of brave.
And I was like, yeah.
And they're everywhere.
Like they're in my dishes and stuff it'sa miracle that I, I haven't seen one in a

(32:30):
really long time 'cause I just kind of gotused to living with 'em, but still, like,
she was like cultivating this infestation.
I to think there's somethingwrong with this lady.
And that's why I, I was like, I'mnot gonna investigate further and
figure out what's wrong with youhere because this ain't right.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (32:45):
Right.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (32:45):
do this.
This is, first of all, you clearly haveneighbors and you're over here feeding
and infestation, collecting the moltsgoing, oh, look how big this one's got.
No, we don't do that.
I mean, they're not as dangerous as.
As a lot of us may feel like they are,or have, have been made to feel like they
are based on some really extreme examplesof things that have happened to people.

(33:08):
But still an infestation of anythingwhen you live in a community
with other people is a bad idea.
And if the, if it, if theybite a baby that is dangerous

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (33:18):
Yeah,
my spider story was the, the week ofhigh school graduation in my sleep.
Something bit me right in the

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (33:25):
Oh yeah.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (33:27):
And I had, it was about the size of a nickel.
I had a scab right in the middle ofmy, like right here on the corner
of my eyebrow, on my forehead.
And I assume it was a spider.
I've always, it's, I don'tknow what else would've made a,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (33:38):
Yeah.
It probably was

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (33:40):
Because I lived out in the middle of nowhere.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (33:47):
the fucking bugs in South Carolina were.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: It's why I won't move south. (33:51):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: Oh man, they were wild. (33:53):
undefined
And where we lived,there wasn't any grass.
It was sand.
And so it was scorpions and, um,centipedes, gigantic centipedes.
And yes, I was a child, soeverything seemed gigantic to me.
Like the spiders that were, you know,like on the wall in our bedrooms,
they, they seem gigantic to me.

(34:14):
But my mom has this story abouta time that she tangled with
a centipede in the kitchen.
And the trailer we lived in was one ofthose like Airstream style bubble ones.
You know, it was like metalon the outside, pretty small.
And so the kitchen, there wasn'ta lot of room for her to maneuver.
And she said she was in therefixing cornbread or something, and.

(34:37):
Heard it.
Heard it like skittering 'cause they'reso big and they have those like hard shell
carists that when they get large enoughon the linoleum you can hear them like,
and so she said she tried multipleways to kill this fucking thing.

(35:00):
First she stomped on it, that didn'tdo it, and then she decided she
didn't wanna be near it anymore.
She didn't wanna get closeenough to stomp on it.
So then she went and got thedictionary, the heaviest book she
could find, and clumped it down on it.
Pulled it up and there it went.
Skittering again.
She said finally she just stucka, she put a pot on it upside
down, you know, on top of it.
Put the dictionary on top of thatand just waited for dad to get home.

(35:24):
I don't remember this at all.
I probably, I don't know, I was probably,we lived there when we were very
little up until I was five, I think.
Yeah, five.
So that was probably when we werestill babies, but he was in the
army, so she was there alone withus all day and she said the fucking
monsters that would come in there.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (35:41):
One time mom, I was at mom's house and,
uh, I had a cell phone plugged in.
And the cord, it was, uh, one ofthe big box, the box kind that
you plug in with the three prongs.
It was like old school

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (35:54):
Oh yeah,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (35:55):
it had a really long cord on it, so it was hanging down by
the floor and I didn't pay any attention.
And my dad had put out a glue trapfor a mouse, and I didn't notice
that there was a mouse in it.
then my cord got stuck in it.
And so I went to yank it and I rippedit and up came this mouse, trap mouse
and all, it like wiggled on the thing.

(36:17):
And my mom screamed like alittle girl, like so loud.
It was ear piercing.
It was freaking hilarious.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (36:26):
the.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (36:27):
I still feel bad for that mouse.
I, I don't, I don'tadvocate for glue traps.
I think they're inhumane.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (36:32):
are pretty, they're pretty diabolical.
Uh, I mean, you know, it, it, it canbe really unsanitary and unhealthy
to live with vermin, but there areperhaps less efficient, but also less
diabolical ways to deal with them.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (36:49):
Yeah.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (36:50):
But they never did freak me out though, like
mice and voles and all that stuff,like the little, the four-legged
things, that's fine with me.
I mean, I'd still try to get 'emout, but I, I never and I had 'em
all over when, at the place I liveddown in Kentucky before I moved here.
I never did shit about them.
It's just kind of, uh, I mean, thecats would catch 'em and stuff.

(37:12):
Ziggy would catch 'em, especially.
She, she was very efficient killer.
And so after a while they justdidn't try to come in the house.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (37:19):
Nice.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (37:20):
I.
If I tell you what though, these boy Katsare useless at killing, catching vermin.
They just watch her handle it.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: Like the queen that she was (37:28):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (37:29):
Yeah.
Right.
I saw a video, I, have you ever seenthe videos of people like when snakes or
frogs or something come up their toilet?

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: oh, let's not talk about that. (37:38):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (37:41):
Okay.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (37:42):
Since porkies, I've had a fear of, a
snake coming up through the toilet.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (37:46):
Yeah.
Well, it ain't gonnahappen where you live.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (37:48):
movie?
Porkies?

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (37:49):
yeah.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (37:51):
Yeah,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (37:51):
Plenty of traumatic shit from that movie.
And not just that
somebody.
On YouTube, I think it was ourfriend Techno Poptart said that
something about, what was thename of the Na Don Knots movie?
You were talking about the ghost and,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (38:04):
and Mr.
Chicken.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (38:05):
yeah, they said that they hadn't, uh, thought
about that movie for a long time.
Never heard of it.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: It is a pretty good one. (38:11):
undefined
I liked it.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: Maybe it's in the public domain. (38:13):
undefined
Lemme check.
Oh, it's not in the public domain.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: Well, that's too (38:18):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (38:18):
Wow.
How did they get a copyright this long?
A hundred years.
Dang.
Universal.
Got some tricks.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (38:27):
I am gonna give when her CBD drops early tonight.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (38:30):
Poor baby.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (38:31):
Yeah.
She started getting days and nights mixedup a little bit and she'll sleep all
day and then wanna be up half the night,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (38:38):
Oh yeah.
That is not

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (38:40):
does not
work for me

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (38:41):
right.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (38:43):
because she'll get to where she doesn't
wanna be in bed, and then she wantsto be in the living room and it's
like, girl, I gotta be in bed.
I gotta work tomorrow.
You know?

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (38:50):
I actually stayed up past 8:00 PM last night,
but it's probably because I tooka three hour nap in the middle of
the day after my physical therapy.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: till like two in the morning. (39:01):
undefined
She worked the overnight and once shegets her tasks done, she doesn't have much
to do besides check on people, you know?
So I kept her company as long as I could.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (39:11):
I used to work third shift in the dorms.
When I was an undergrad, I worked forhousing and I was the overnight person
twice a week, in two different dorms.
It was, I, I am notsure how to describe it.
It kind of, you kind of go a littlecrazy on a third shift in general,
like every time, no matter, probably nomatter what, but the way, like that time

(39:35):
between when it's reasonable for peopleto be out and doing things and when it's
reasonable for people to be getting backup and stuff, it's a very weird time.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (39:46):
Yeah.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (39:46):
And one of the buildings it was called Walters
Hall, it was on e K's campus that hasthis really weird 1970s wood aesthetic.
And so they, it kind oflooks like a ski lodge.
And so people started calling it thebunny lodge and around three, 4:00 AM
it felt like a fucking horror movie.

(40:07):
It felt like Jason was gonna come out.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (40:09):
That's how Shannon, there's the, the house that she
works in has big windows all around it.
And so when you look out and there'snothing but like cornfields around
it, so she gets really creepedout and that's one of the, there
she's getting off night shift.
She has four shifts left, andthen she goes back to days.
So she, she can't handle it.
It's hard for her.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (40:28):
It?
No, it wore me out.
I mean, it made me, it like wore me downso bad that I got shingles in my ear

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: Oh, bless your heart and your (40:35):
undefined
ear.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: it swelled up so big. (40:38):
undefined
It was like my hand, the size ofmy hand and I couldn't lay down.
It was crazy, but, 'cause I had to,when I would get off work, I would
have to go to class and stuff, andI had roommates that partied all the
time, so I just didn't get any sleep.
And you're not allowed to sleepon third shift in the dorms.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (40:55):
That's how it is with Shannon's job in her home,
you can't sleep 'cause she's got sixresidents in that building and they have
different needs throughout the night.
So

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (41:04):
Yeah, well, back in the day, like we just did not
have very good, there wasn't surveillancelike the, the only way to know if
everything was okay was for somebodyto be awake and have their eyes on it.
This episode features a lot of wind.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (41:17):
Yeah, she, she can be a lot sometimes when she's
not getting her way and she wouldlike me to be petting on her more so.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (41:25):
Yeah.
Well, maybe it's a good time tohear from this week's sponsor.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: Okay, let's do it. (41:28):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (41:34):
this week's sponsor is kind of a sponsor of the
Wrestling Alliance, gravel grapple.
it's Saturday night.
The moon is high.
The mason jars are getting kinda low.
This episode is brought to you by thegravel grapple All-Terrain Wrestling Mat.
We may not need fancy Olympic Gymwith fluorescent lights and men in
singlets that cost more than a usedmower, but we do need a surface that

(41:55):
can handle a power bomb and a spilledlight beer without losing aura points.
The Grapple Gravel is the world's firstindustrial grade reversible wrestling mat.
Designed specifically for the backyard,the barn floor, and the special
occasion rug in the parlor, madefrom free range recycled a TV tire.
It's tougher than a hog's hideand smells like a burnout.

(42:17):
I know why you're thinking.
Why do we need a mat for ourmake-believe Backyard Wrestling Alliance?
Well, I'll tell you why it'sbetter than a patch of grass.
It has impact absorbing foamdeveloped by engineers who clearly
spent too much time in mosh pits.
It's soft enough to save your tailbone,but firm enough to give you the
leverage you need for a proper plex.
It has the hickory toughcoating, puncture resistant.

(42:39):
Go ahead.
Wear your work boots.
it can handle a rogue spur, a dropcigarette, or the sheer weight of
your inherited emotional baggage.
Easy clean technology.
We call it the morning after finish,whether it's sweat, glitter, or secret
sauce from a late night drive through,run it hones right off with a garden hose.
It's 10 by 10 feet of pure,unadulterated find out territory.

(43:00):
So stop running your grandmother'squilts and if you're trying to
recreate 1980s classic A CW.
Hell in a cell.
SmackDown do it on aprofessional surface act now.
Use code chair shot.
We'll send you the mat.
A roll of heavy duty athletic tape anda commemorative rough trade trophy.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: Oh, that's fine. (43:16):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (43:16):
We used to actually like take the furniture
apart, get the cushions out andput them out so that we could
like do suplexes and cannonballand like fly into them and stuff.
I nearly, one of the many times Ialmost killed David and might have
actually been trying to hurt him forreal a little bit, was that I Convinced
him to do this wrestling move andpulled the couch cushions off and

(43:40):
laid 'em on and was like, yeah, yeah.
This will be plenty of padding.
And I just like ha heaved off ofthe chair and like elbow right down
into his spine and I could feel it.
Yeah.
It's the only reason that we didn't allbreak every bone in our body multiple
times is because we're fucking mutants.

(44:00):
Because we tried so hardevery so many times.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (44:04):
My brother would do that shit in the pool.
He would try to kill me inthat pool, I swear to God.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (44:08):
yeah.
If, if we'd had a pool,one of us had been dead.
Do you remember there was somethingthat happened that, that used to happen?
Like every time I would fallor something like getting.
Getting the breath knocked out of youand you know that feeling like of your
lungs, they get like squeezed shutand they won't open back up again.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (44:30):
Yeah.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (44:31):
Why does nobody prepare you for that fe?
Why doesn't anybody warn you like,Hey, sometimes one, one of these days
you're gonna fall really hard andyour lungs are gonna stop working.
And you're gonna thinkyou're dying, but you're not.
Because I really thought Iwas about to meet my maker the
first time that happened to me.
And you're always alone doingsomething away from, you know, where

(44:54):
an a parent figure can see you.
So if I had known that was normal.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: Yeah, I fell a lot. (44:58):
undefined
I am not a graceful person in any measure.
That's why I was a catcherwhen I played softball.
You didn't have to be graceful.
You just had to be likestout, like sturdy.
Try and knock my ass over

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (45:10):
I, I never really, I didn't play softball very much.
I, I like did maybe a season ortwo of conditioning and practice
and I didn't hardly play.
I just, I thought it was too on the nose.
I was like, it's not gay forall these other people to do
it, but if I do it, it's gay.
And I didn't, I was still,I just really was trying to

(45:33):
hold on to nobody finding out.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (45:35):
I wasn't even out to myself in high school.
Like I, I knew that Ihad a crush on a girl.
You know, I, I knew that, but Iwas still straight in my head.
Like, I

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (45:44):
Yeah.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: myself go there. (45:44):
undefined
I didn't come out to myself untilthe summer after high school.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (45:49):
Yeah, I mean, I knew something was off and I knew that I
should try to fix it, but for some reason,none of the other sports were gased.
It was just softball.
I could play, I could play all the othersports and not have to feel that way.
Even though basketball did kindof, basketball was raised issues
for me because it was so intimate.

(46:11):
It was intimate in a way that softballwas not like all that contact and
the way the girls are in the lockerroom, like it, it's, it's great.
I'm so glad that people have spaceslike that and that, you know, I think
that's what they're afraid of losingwhen they think about trans women
coming into like sports and things.

(46:33):
Having experienced those spaces, I canunderstand what they're afraid of losing,
even though that's not how that works.
But yeah, I didn't want to, I didn'tdo basketball for more than just
a couple seasons past Junior Pro.
I played, I played every year inelementary and middle school, and
then in high school it startedto the intimacy and just like my

(46:56):
attraction to a couple of the girls,I was just like, no, I'm gonna quit.
I'm, I was so scared of being exposed.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (47:02):
I never have played a full game of basketball in my
life, so I don't know how, I didn't getexposed to that, but I never, guess we
just didn't play it in gym or whatever.
We played volleyball.
I was pretty good at serving, but I just,I never got introduced to basketball,
so who knows how I would've played.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (47:19):
We didn't play it in gym either.
That I remember.
We did play volleyball though.
Like you, if you wanted to playbasketball, you had to either join the
league, the team, or one of the intramuralleagues, um, or play after school.
And I was not very good at it.
I'm still not very good at it, so

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (47:35):
Yeah.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (47:36):
no reason for me to really stick it out.
I wasn't getting much out of it,
My favorite thing was academic team.
I loved competition.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: We called it quiz bowl. (47:44):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (47:45):
Yeah.
One of the, there was a TVshow that we did in Louisville.
I don't remember the name of it.
It called it something else.
Kind of like that.
But, um, but you like, you know.
It's probably the same.
You play against other schools and yougo to, you know, tournaments and stuff.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: I did mock trial too. (48:02):
undefined
Did you guys have mock trial?

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (48:05):
Yep.
There was one where they dida, um, a fake car accident for
a DUI thing, some dare thing.
Uh, and it was pretty horrifying.
Like they turned cars over in the streetright outside the high school and there
were kids like laying there with bloodcoming outta their mouth and stuff.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (48:25):
Oh, wow.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (48:26):
Yeah, it was, they, there was a couple
of times when they really wentfor that scared straight thing.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (48:31):
They didn't do that at my high school, but my high
school was across the street from a, ahigh security, maximum security prison.
So,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (48:39):
They figured they already had that covered.
I remember going to anassembly at Jellico.
Sitting up in the bleachers and theywheeled in a tv, you know, like this,
that, you know, the, the TV on a cart, thestandard that, you know, that's so small,
none of us could see it, but we were.
But it was a, a dare movieabout the evils of smoking

(49:00):
marijuanas marijuana, cigarettes.
And I just remember, yeah, I remember.
I was like, I think it's too late.
You guys,
everybody in here is high right now.
You should have started a lot younger.
And they would bring their soupedup like V 12, like um, sheriff's

(49:23):
cars that they bought with drugmoney is what they would say.
And, um, show off, show the kidslike how cool their cars were and
how you can't get away from this.
We're gonna catch you.
It's like nobody thinks you're cool, man.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (49:36):
Yeah.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (49:36):
people are thinking about stealing your car.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (49:39):
One time when I was working as a wedding photographer
I got a real interesting couple.
They were a lot of fun to workwith, and they had their wedding
out in the middle of this field.
They set up chairs and everything and alittle archway and all that kind of stuff.
And the girl came in viacarriage, a horse drawn carriage.
But before that happened, you, everybodywas sitting there, it was time for

(50:00):
it to start, and all of a suddenyou heard a siren in the background.
And then you saw like the, all thegroomsmen were on four wheelers.
And they came like roaring over thehill as fast as they could come.
And one of their buddies was a,a, a state highway patrolman.
And he was running just as hardas he could behind him, lights and
sirens, chasing him to the thing.
And they came up and likethey got off the, the four

(50:21):
wheelers and stood at the altar.
it was really funny.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: yeah, that is redneck. (50:24):
undefined

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (50:26):
One of the pictures they had me do was they lined
all the four wheelers up in kind of likea V formation and then had all the guys
stand on theirs in their, in their tuxes.
And we took a picture of that in, ended upin a magazine, a four Wheeling magazine.
they were the only couple that wantedto do a set of their pictures in the
outhouse that we had at the studio.
They were a trip

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: why did you have an outhouse? (50:45):
undefined

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (50:47):
for, we had a whole little backyard.
There was a, like a koi pond anda, and a swing and just really
pretty background areas to takephotography, like do senior pictures

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (50:59):
Oh, it was
like setting.
Okay.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (51:01):
Yeah.
Yeah.
And one of, I'll, I'll have to show youthe picture of my, I did a beautiful shot
of my nephew in front of the outhouse.
He's in his underwear.
He was like two, and he is lookingback and he is smiling real big.
But we, we printed it as a 16 by20, and it was in the bathroom
at the studio for like 10 years.
My mom, I would, half of mysister must have stolen that.
Who knows?

(51:24):
Week's noun of Appalachianinterest is Camden Park.
If you grew up anywhere nearHuntington, West Virginia, you can
probably smell it in your memory.
Popcorn, hot pavement.
The Ohio River air and sunscreen.
That's been bakingsince, well before noon.
Camden Park isn't some mega themepark with fireworks every hour.
It's been sitting right theresince 1903 doing its thing.

(51:46):
It started as a trolley park backwhen streetcar were how folks got
around and companies would build parksat the end of the line, so families
would ride out on the weekends.
You take the trolley, spendthe day eating, laughing and
maybe screaming on a ride.
Then head home, tired and happy.
It was a practical andlittle bit of genius.
And then there's the BigDipper built in 1958, a wooden
rollercoaster that does not glide.

(52:07):
It rattles, it creeks.
it sounds like it's tellingyou stories from 60 years ago
while it climbs that first hill.
It's not smooth and it's notfancy, but when you first hit that
drop, you fill it in your bones.
There's something honestabout a wooden coaster.
No tricks, no timber,gravity and commitment.
Camden Park feels Appalachian because ithas never once tried to act brand new.

(52:28):
The rides aren't retro,they're just still here.
The Big Dipper sounds like it'sclear, its throat before every drop.
The arcade lights are so bright, you cansee them through your eyelids and the
funnel cake grease, it doesn't linger.
It settles in like a distant cousinwho said they were staying one night.
been through floods, layoffs,economic slumps, and every, this
town ain't what it used to be.

(52:48):
Conversation at the diner.
And every spring somebody unlocks thegate, flips the switch, and lets the tilt.
The world starts spinninglike nothing ever happened.
For a lot of folks, it'sfirst date nervousness and
first rollercoaster bravery.
It's paper wristbands that itch.
It's tilt a world spinning alittle faster than you expected.
It's summer nights when the skyturns purple and the cicadas get
loud and the whole place glows.

(53:09):
And here's the wild park.
Camden Park even made itinto Fallout 76 in the game.
It's reimagined in a post apocalypticversion of West Virginia still standing
in its own weird way after the world ends.
Of all the places they could havechosen, they picked that little
amusement park by the river.
And honestly, that tracks, if anything inAppalachia could outlast the apocalypse.
It might be a wooden rollercoasterin a stubborn gate operator.

(53:32):
Camden Park isn'tpolished, it isn't curated.
It's not trying to impress anybody.
that's this week's n ofAppalachian interest.
Camden Park ain't perfect, butit's ours and it's still open.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (53:42):
I don't play games or anything but fall
Fallout 76 I don't know why, but it'sa post-apocalyptic West Virginia.
And so it has all of this Appalachianlore in it, and it's like, as soon
as I, as soon as I found that out,I wanted to play it, but I just
fucking awful at, at new video games.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (54:04):
Yeah,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: I don't have that like. (54:04):
undefined
So, like for instance, it'll be likepress, press triangle to do something
and I have to look and see where triangleis, and that is so disheartening.
I'm like, I don't knowwhich of these is which.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (54:17):
Yeah.
We have a switch that's aboutas fancy as we get Kart.
I own

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (54:21):
I,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: Kart and Donkey Kong. (54:21):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: I have a PlayStation three. (54:23):
undefined
Don't use it really for anything.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (54:28):
I just think it's cool that they,
that Camden Park ended up there.
Yeah.
I've got a picture of me ridinga little ride when I was still
in pigtails, in blonde pigtails.
If I can find it this week,I'll share it in the newsletter.
And that's where I met.
I met Vince Gill, the singer.
It was my mom's like favorite singer.
It was before he got super famous.
He had his first song out and hewas doing the tour and he ended up

(54:49):
performing at Camden Park and we wentand I, he was sitting in the little
food, like the food hall and I wentin and asked for his autograph and
got like three of them from him.
That's my claim to famethat I met Vince Gill

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (55:01):
who all do you, have you gotten autographs from?

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: That's pretty much it. (55:05):
undefined
Vince Gill.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (55:07):
Yeah.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (55:07):
Have a friend that goes to a lot of, uh, like
movie, like those sign and greet things,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (55:13):
yeah,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (55:13):
has a picture of herself with like so many
famous people that it's crazy, butI don't know, I just never had the
money or the interest to do that.
I

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: the lines can be really long. (55:20):
undefined
The line for John Waters was hours.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (55:26):
I bet he performed it at, uh, BGSU.
Did you get to go to that?

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: that's where it was. (55:30):
undefined
Yeah.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (55:31):
Uh, gotcha.
I went to the show.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (55:33):
Yeah.
So like first it's the show and thenit's the line and the line is hours long.
It's easier when you just run intoa celebrity randomly, but that
doesn't really happen that much.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (55:45):
the only time it ever happened to me.
That's for sure.
My mom knew Alan Jackson.
You know, the way down yonder

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (55:50):
Yeah.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (55:51):
Who that guy?
He, uh, he stayed at the RamadaInn where my mom was a waitress.
That's where my mom was awaitress when she and my dad met.
And she said he was a real asshole too.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (56:01):
Um, well, you know, I'm sure a lot of famous people
are probably way more back in the day,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (56:06):
Yeah.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (56:07):
a lot of famous people would stop in if they were
on the road into the Pizza Hut that Iworked at because it was right there
off of the interstate of off of I 75.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (56:17):
Okay.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (56:18):
I think that they would choose like these smaller
areas, maybe kind of thinking they canfly under their radar a little bit.
But, and for a while their mom worked atthe same pizza hut as me and we were both
servers and we were on shift one day andshe comes over and she had been, you know,

(56:39):
waiting on a table and it was all people.
They looked very cool.
I didn't really pay very close attentionto 'em 'cause they were in her section.
But she came over and she goes,well that, that young man over
there says he plays guitar too.
'cause I, I play guitar and I'msure she was over there like,
my daughter plays guitar too.
And I was like, okay.
That's awesome.
Uh, and I was like, how did that come up?

(56:59):
And she was like, well he iswearing a little pen on his shirt.
And so I asked him about it and um,I looked up and I was like, and I
like squinted, uh, and I was like.
That's the Goo Go Dolls.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: It's like a Scooby Do moment. (57:13):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (57:15):
It was so,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (57:17):
I
saw they were,
my first big concert.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (57:19):
I was actually jamming out to Iris the other day.
and Corbin.
Corbin, I saw celebritiesall over the, like, not, you
know, like minor celebrities.
So like Leanne Rime stolegas from me one day,
the Speedway in Corbin.
'cause she got recognized halfwaythrough filling up and just tore out.
And then you rememberTiffany from the eighties?

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (57:43):
Oh yeah.
I think we're alone

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (57:45):
Yeah.
Her.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: It doesn't seem to be around. (57:47):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (57:50):
So me, me and my friends, the TJs, I had these two
friends both named TJ that I hung outwith in Corbin all the time in like mid
two thousands, early mid two thousands.
And we were in the, Tri-Countyshopping center after seeing a movie
and just kind of hanging around theparking lot there, which we did a lot.
And this big tour bus pulls upand this, and a guy comes out and

(58:13):
he goes, he's like, do you guysknow where we could get any weed?
I guess we just looked like we would know.
And and he just like steppedoff of the, you know, the door
of the bus kind of halfway.
He, he didn't really, he wasn'ttrying to make friends or
anything, but we were like, no.
Even though almost certainlyone of them would, would have.

(58:35):
Yes.
But we were like, who?
No, why would we do that?
And he goes, do you guys knowTiffany from the eighties?
That's how he described her.
She could probably hear you.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (58:49):
That reminds me of the name game.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: What's the name? (58:51):
undefined
Game

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (58:53):
We played the written, my, we were
ruthless name game players.
So, name A, a celebrity, any celebrity.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (59:00):
Kira Sedgwick.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (59:01):
Okay, so her last name starts with an S.
So now I gotta say somebody'sname that starts with an S.
So I would say Sarah Silverman.
Ooh, I got a double soit doubles back to me.
So then I say, uh, Sharon Osborne.
So now you have to come upwith one that starts with an O,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (59:17):
Okay.
First name or last name?

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: but the first name. (59:19):
undefined
But if you get, if you do both of 'em,you get a double and you get to go again.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (59:23):
Oh, okay.
Um, Orville Peck.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (59:26):
Okay.
And then I would say, uh, Pauly Sho.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (59:29):
Okay.
That this could go on a long time.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (59:33):
Yeah, so we, we played it, it got to where she
would be like, job from the Bible.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: It's that JF or B, (59:40):
undefined

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (59:45):
God, we would leave notes for each other and everything.
We played that ruthlessly.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (59:51):
There was all kinds of games like that, that
we used to play back in the day.
We played little people, big people,which I, I don't even know where it
came from, but somebody would startit and you would say like, little
people like trees but not bushes.
And you would only do thatshit and you, you couldn't give
any clues over and over again.
You would just, you know, moreand more examples until the

(01:00:13):
person or somebody figured it out.
And it was, brutal because it's actuallykind of hard to spot the pattern.
But once you know, it'sridiculously simple.
And so there'd always be like oneperson steaming mad because they
couldn't figure it out long aftereverybody else's figured it out.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:00:33):
Did you ever play the drinking game?
Captain Duff?

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:00:36):
Uh

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:00:37):
So my dad, my, my adopted father
was kind of a genius at this.
And basically he tells the story and youput your hands on the, on the table and
you, if he changes his hand, you have tochange it or you have to drink, right?
And like he got both of my aunt's shitfaced at a party they had one time.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:00:55):
Hmm.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:00:56):
if, I wonder if that's a real thing or if he made it up

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:00:58):
Listeners, what kind of games did you play
before there was the internet?
Did you play word games orpuzzles with, with people?

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:01:07):
I don't see anything about it.
That could just be athing that they made up.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:01:10):
Yeah,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: the, the Christmas gift thing. (01:01:11):
undefined
Have I told you about Christmas gift?
I

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:01:14):
yeah,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:01:14):
have now.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:01:16):
People used to have to make their own fun.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:01:19):
My dad built a still for his high
school senior, or like his senioryear high school science project.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:01:24):
I built a bomb
by accident.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: oops, it was just a little bob. (01:01:30):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: Oh, chemical bomb man. (01:01:33):
undefined
And they let me do the experiment.
Even though like thinking back now,I'm like, oh my God, I built a bomb.
'cause I had draino and aluminum foil and.
I don't even remember the othercomponents, and I probably
would bleep them out if I could.
A baking soda was one of them, andyou, you mix them together in this

(01:01:53):
certain way in proportions, in a, ina plastic pot, and it, it explodes.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:01:59):
For one of mine, I took a, a little copper
pipe and so I took two blocks ofwood and I put a copper pipe on,
on, like sitting on the two of them.
And then under it I put a candleand then under one end of the pipe
I put a needle with a straw on it.
And if you light the candle and let itheat up the, the, copper pipe, it will
expand and cause the straw to roll.

(01:02:21):
And that was, that wasone of my experiments.
That's the one.
And then I did another one where if youput a, like a playing card on top of a
cup of water, the water will stay in andit'll create a seal and it won't come out.
I

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:02:31):
I actually only remember the one maybe
I was banned from, from others.
That's the only time I ever rememberparticipating in a science fair,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:02:39):
what word got you out in the, in the spelling baye.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:02:42):
uh, careen.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: Ooh, that's a bad one. (01:02:43):
undefined
Mine was dynamite.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:02:46):
Mm.
Yeah.
And I was at the state championship.
Yeah.
And it, we were down to like,just the last few, but I, I was in
the, I was in the eighth grade andI'd never heard that word before.
So I butchered it.
I think I started it witha used to love a spelling bee.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:03:03):
grading exams, uh, this week and I was writing some
feedback like you do, and I had to stopand like Google words like three different
times to make sure I was spelling themcorrectly, because I have just forgotten.
I just like autocorrect fix shit now.
You know, if you get closeenough it's fine, but you can't
do that when you're writing.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: Yeah, I, I have stuck. (01:03:20):
undefined
I, I do write long hand a lot.
It's one of my favorite ways to write.
And I, like, I keep notebooksand stuff all the time.
Um, but I never have been super conuh, great at spelling when it comes
to writing, just because, and it hasgotten worse as I've gotten older.
I write out of order, uh, I'll, I'llstart a word with the, the first

(01:03:42):
letter sometimes, and then maybeI'll write the second one and then
skip to the fourth one, and thencome back and fill in the third one.
I have no idea who even learnsto write that way, but I draw
a lot of my letters backwards.
I draw numbers backwards.
I, I always drew ease andthe number five backwards,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:04:00):
Are you left-handed or right-handed?

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:04:02):
I can write with my left hand, but they
had me write with my right hand.
So actually my writing is better withmy left hand, but it's a lot slower.
But to fix the problem, I, I kind of hadto go in like in my mind and go like,
okay, I have to write it backwards.
Like, what feels backwards to me.
So I, I draw my fives, I startat the bottom and go up like

(01:04:25):
this, and then do the top.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: that's different. (01:04:26):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:04:27):
Yeah.
And,

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: made her check marks backwards. (01:04:29):
undefined
'cause she was left-handed.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:04:32):
but she wrote with her right hand,
or she wrote with her left hand.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: No, she wrote with her left. (01:04:34):
undefined
was left-handed.
And one of my nieces and oneof my nephews are lefthanded.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:04:39):
Everything I do, I can do, with either hand.
But like, I've practiced morewith the right hand, so it's a lot
faster, but my God, you can't reada thing I write with my right hand
unless I really make an effort.
But yeah, I don't know.
It's maybe, maybe it's not dyslexia.
Maybe it's just that I'm, I'm notwriting with my dominant hand.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:04:59):
my, it might just be a DHD too.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:05:02):
well, I guess we ought to get off of here.
Let you entertain Linda.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:05:07):
Yeah.
Figure out what her problem is.
The drops aren't even helping rightnow, so, and she's eaten several times
today, so I know she's not starving.
Sometimes she acts like this whenit, 'cause we usually feed in
between eight and eight 30 dinner.
And so she lets me know whenit starts getting that time.
But she's been doing this since six 30,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:05:23):
Yeah.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: don't think that's it at all. (01:05:23):
undefined

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:05:25):
Hmm.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:05:25):
I don't know.

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: Hopefully she's okay. (01:05:26):
undefined

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526: Yeah, she'll be fine. (01:05:28):
undefined
She's a good girl

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526 (01:05:30):
Mm-hmm.

beck_29_02-20-2026_180526 (01:05:31):
and like I said, the doctor gave
her a good bill of health.
He said she sounded great to be 15.
So yeah,

dash_28_02-20-2026_170526: Well, uh, listeners, thanks (01:05:37):
undefined
