Remembering Dolly Parton and Revisiting the Camp Classic “9 to 5” Hosts Beck and Dash return from a break to mourn the Queerly Beloved, Dearly Departed Dolly Parton. They discuss Dolly Parton’s death at 80, public reactions, her collaborations, and her written works, including the Imagination Library’s 300 million books and six published books, plus her community-minded philanthropy and queer allyship (including her transgender chauffeur and her comments about drag). The episode centers on the 1980 film “9 to 5,” its camp aesthetics, critical reception, workplace sexism and harassment, and the plot in which three women kidnap their boss and improve office conditions (daycare, flex schedules, part-time work, and equal pay). Dash performs John Prine’s “Paradise,” Beck shares a wee Noun of Appalachian Interest, on Mary Lou Retton, and they plan to watch “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” next because this Dolly Party stops for no one.

The weekly theme “joke thief” leads into favorite comedians and bits, especially Mitch Hedberg and Hannah Gadsby’s Nanette and Douglas, plus reflections on humor in teaching, Appalachian wordplay, “redneck” comedy, dad jokes, and dark jokes. The mood shifts to concern over a Lexington, Kentucky company’s “shock gloves” ordered by ICE and fears about police misuse. Beck recommends the 2007 dark comedy horror film Teeth for its treatment of rape culture, criticizes Super Troopers 2, previews a short break due to a new job, plugs their Queerneck YouTube channel with a QWOP segment, and ends with stories about teens trying to look cool and makeup mishaps. 00:00 Youtube 00:11 Opening 00:49 Barbers & Small Towns 04:39 Astrology Deep Dive 09:18 Comedy: Mitch Hedberg & Standup 13:49 Pets & Astrology 14:12 Hannah Gadsby & Comedy Analysis 20:49 Redneck Humor & Jeff Foxworthy 34:19 Movies: Teeth & Horror Comedy 40:48 Politics & WeRateDogs 43:09 Work Announcement & Break
