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 Bullshit, 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.Send us mail at [email protected] us on Facebook or Instagram at @QueernecksSubscribe to out newsletter for the Queernecks ramble expansion pack: https://substack.com/@queernecksAnd join our discord by joining our Ko-Fi for $2 a month: https://ko-fi.com/queernecks00:00 Podcast Welcome00:26 Ru’s Scary Asthma Attack01:33 Living With Asthma02:57 Kevin Hart Roast Fallout04:31 When Roasts Turn Cruel08:10 The Aristocrats and 9/1110:45 Can You Joke About Anything15:15 Retro Sexism in Ads19:15 SNL After 9/1122:26 British Reality Competitions23:17 Great Pottery Throw Down Love27:27 Faculty Interview Nerves32:15 Campus Ego and Low Pay33:51 Writing Routine and Online Teaching34:41 New Job Logistics and Summer Break35:13 Sponsor Buy Here Pay Here37:34 Car Histories and Salvage Rides40:35 Oil Changes and Four Wheel Fun43:39 Noun Matewan Mine Wars47:03 Appalshop and Film Talk49:53 Queer Cinema Pairings53:39 Audiobooks Count as Reading55:23 Scary Movie Plans and Theater Anxiety59:52 Foxy Merkins Pick and Discord01:02:58 Wrap Up Music and Goodbyes
