Adam Curry shares a personal story from 1987 regarding his time as an MTV VJ, where he was reprimanded for being honest about Madonna in a TV Guide interview. He explains how he realized early on that corporate media requires total brand loyalty. Mo Facts refers to this as being a "habitual line stepper," a trait both hosts claim to share in their refusal to be bought by major networks.
Adam Curry compares the current acceptance of Megan Thee Stallion to the historical "scandal" of Madonna's career, noting how the "culture police" have retreated. The hosts analyze the dictionary definition of "audacity," concluding that in the current political context, it has been softened to mean "shamelessness without thought." They reference Alistair Crowley's "do what thou wilt" philosophy as a parallel to the message being sent to young women.
The discussion explores the darker allegations against Wallace Simpson, including claims she was a Nazi spy or prostitute. Some historians argue that the Simpson affair was an excuse to remove the "wrong king" (Edward VIII) in favor of his brother, George VI. The hosts speculate if Markle was similarly "activated" to cause chaos within the modern throne.
