    Set Out Some Mt. Dew and Pepperoni Rolls for Mothman

    Beck and Dash explore why humor matters, what makes a comedian memorable, and how queerness and marginalization shape comedy. Dash argues that humor is inherently queer in the queer-theory sense: making fun of something means breaking it down, ruining it a little, and turning it into a ridiculous version of itself. Both hosts agree that comedians from marginalized backgrounds tend to be more creative because they've had to find new ways to survive and connect. topics covered in this episodeWhy pop culture working-class hobbies (NASCAR, MMA, monster trucks) get politicizedDisability, deafness, and talking about impairment in an affirming waySmoking culture in AppalachiaRural policing and why you have to "sponsor" a sheriff's deputy"YouTube night" and queer media culture How to reach the showEmail mailbag@queernecks.com, comment on Facebook, or find Queernecks on Threads.

    Get Above Ye Raisin'

    Weather, Yellowjackets, and Appalachian History: Tree Houses and the Underground Railroad Hosts Beck and Dash chat about shifting weather and anxiety around a severe El Niño forecast, then Beck describes a brief health scare with their older dog Pita. They discuss TikTok videos of Europeans experiencing American chain restaurants, travel and food media influences like Anthony Bourdain, and cooking competition shows including Top Chef, Tournament of Champions, Bake Off, and Nailed It!. Beck and Dash share their “book report” homework, focusing on Yellowjackets—its crash-survival premise, dual timelines, genre mixing, diversity, and normalized queerness—plus concerns about production delays and unfinished series. Beck also recounts learning about Wonder Woman creator William Moulton Marston’s polyamorous life and Olive Byrne’s connection to Margaret Sanger, and revisits the horror story Wolfen. A sponsor segment nostalgically celebrates homemade rural tree houses. Beck’s “noun of Appalachian interest” explains the Underground Railroad’s complex, dangerous network and Appalachia’s borderland role, emphasizing freedom seekers’ agency. This is the episode of the Uncivil Podcast we mentioned about the Combahee River Raid https://www.iheart.com/podcast/309-uncivil-28416157/episode/the-raid-28519919

    The Queernut Merkins

    SEASON TWO OF QUEERNECKS HAPPY PRIDE MONTH Hosts Beck and Dash celebrate Pride Month, joke about “straight pride” backlash and a Tennessee “nuclear family month,” and talk about rising costs, engineered poverty, and how work and isolation affect relationships and having kids. They discuss small-town pride and share personal updates about reconnecting with friends. The main segment reviews the film Foxy Merkins, a dry, plot-light queer comedy about New York lesbian sex workers Margaret and Jo, focusing on its absurd vignettes, kink and class themes, Margaret’s butch gender presentation and objectification, and references to Midnight Cowboy and My Own Private Idaho. They critique inconsistent mockumentary framing, unresolved subplots, a misleading title/merkin thread, and an open-ended ending. The episode includes a mock sponsor ad for Small Town Pride Festival, an Appalachian “noun” explaining leather britches (dried green beans), and a brief note about a Diddy documentary. 00:00 Podcast Cold Open 00:09 Student Email Chaos 02:10 Pride Month Backlash 02:33 Nuclear Family Politics 05:23 Birthrates And Economy 07:53 OnlyFans Joke Pivot 08:55 Foxy Merkins Setup 11:33 Meet Margaret And Jo 17:25 Bathroom Office Absurdity 19:46 Mockumentary Structure Gripes 22:11 Class And Cultural Capital 25:29 Film Homages Explained 27:39 Cops Kink Hotel Scenes 32:02 Maid Twist And Fallout 33:05 Fake Shooting Twist 33:34 Jo’s Motives Exposed 33:57 Midnight Cowboy Parallel 34:55 Gay for Pay Dynamics 35:52 Popcorn Creeper Kink 37:56 Conference Motorboaters 39:51 Hanky Code Bits 41:49 Women Don’t Love Women 44:06 Brother and Mom Subplots 45:25 Class Tourism and Money 46:45 Home Birth Debate 50:00 Sunset Ending Complaints 54:02 Merkin Title Mystery 55:23 Butch Visibility and Sex Work 56:42 Sex Tape Blackmail Plot 58:42 Sponsor Small Town Pride 01:00:36 Pride Memories and Leagues 01:02:59 Leather Britches Explained 01:05:07 Chow Chow and Top Chef 01:06:28 Season Two Sign-Off Send us mail at mailbag@queernecks.com Follow us on Facebook or Instagram at @Queernecks Subscribe to out newsletter for the Queernecks ramble expansion pack: https://substack.com/@queernecks And join our discord by joining our Ko-Fi for $2 a month: https://ko-fi.com/queernecks

They compare movie lists to watch together (e.g., Alien, Night of the Living Dead, Shaun of the Dead and the Cornetto Trilogy) and chat about Monty Python, Mel Brooks, and adaptations like The World According to Garp. Beck shares experiences with wage disparity, job stress, high school reunions, grief and unwanted public memorialization of a brother killed in action, and an unsettling workplace stalking incident. The episode includes a faux sponsor segment on “trauma bonding” and a “Noun of Appalachian Interest” about WVU’s burning couches, plus lighter updates on food, books, and upcoming MRIs and boxing. 00:00 Intro & Movie Talk 26:18 High School & Breakups 28:32 Military Service & Heroes 36:05 Stalkers & Exes 42:45 Domestic Violence in Queer Relationships 46:43 Trauma Bonding & Memory 52:26 Appalachian Culture & Couch Fires 01:00:37 Literature & Film Analysis

    The Poison Ivy League

    Hosts Beck and Dash open the Queernecks episode discussing a frightening car incident in Toledo where their dog Ru appeared to have an asthma attack and has a vet appointment Monday. They then talk about modern roast culture after seeing clips from the Kevin Hart roast, including Chelsea Handler’s jab at a MAGA comedian, mention Tony Hinchcliffe’s George Floyd joke, and discuss boundaries, context, and craft in comedy, referencing Penn & Teller’s B******t, the Aristocrats joke, Gilbert Gottfried after 9/11, and Seinfeld’s “political correctness” complaints, plus “retro sexism” in advertising and SNL’s post‑9/11 Giuliani moment. They touch on British competition shows, Dash’s faculty job interview and higher-ed pay/culture, a satirical “buy here, pay here” sponsor bit, car histories and maintenance, and Beck’s “noun of Appalachian interest” on Matewan, WV and the 1920 Mine Wars. They close with movie ideas, audiobooks, biking/cleaning plans, and queer music recommendations.

    Bonding Over Submechanophobia

    In this 50th episode of Queernecks, queer rural Appalachian LGBTQ hosts Beck and Dash chat about pets, junk food, and digestive issues, then reflect on smoking—how early they started, how it was normalized, and how quitting saved Christmas. They discuss teaching, student pass/fail options, rate-my-professor culture, and gaps in student literacy, tech skills, and civic knowledge, plus the poverty-simulator game, Spent. They share fears about cruises and the ocean, mention Netflix’s Trainwreck and the “poop cruise,” and touch on end-of-life planning, wills, and transfer-on-death paperwork. A sponsor segment celebrates nostalgic Wishbook catalogs and their digitized archives. The Appalachian noun of interest is “Fiesta Ware,” and its cultural labor history, before closing with travel and food plans and a one-year anniversary tease.
