Dash and Beck discuss 'bless your heart,' the rivalry between Coke and Pepsi in Tennessee and Kentucky, and reminisce about their favorite childhood candies. The conversation then shifts to more serious subjects like the treatment of pets, funeral traditions, and even the ethics around euthanizing animals. The show also includes a deep dive into the humor and chaos of the Dollar Store triangle in Appalachian towns. With a touch of nostalgia and meaningful stories, this episode offers a rich tapestry of life in Appalachia.
