    Your Great Granny Wasn't a Cherokee Princess

    Cultural appropriation, blaccent, and why everyone's got a fake Cherokee princess in their family tree. Beck teaches through grief while Dash navigates workplace chaos and disrespectful students. They discuss Appalachian identity politics, the difference between "Appalachia" and "Appalachian," and why white people are just now realizing what marginalized communities have known forever. Also: anti-Trump holographic stickers, lesbian movie recommendations with questionable spitting scenes, what it's like to be the only female bowling alley mechanic, and the inaugural episode of Queernecks Sponsored Wrestling Federation (Rocking Chair vs. Lawn Chair).
