The hosts analyze the word "shiftless," defined as a lack of resourcefulness or ambition. They note that this term was historically a core component of racial slurs and was used during the era of Manifest Destiny to justify the displacement of "savage" peoples.

The hosts analyze the controversy surrounding a compilation video of Joe Rogan using the N-word over a 12-year period.

The hosts discuss how the "brainwashed become the brainwashers," taking on their own victimization through the use of the N-word and misogyny.

A news report highlights a spike in Google searches linking the coronavirus to Corona beer, illustrating the prevalence of public misinformation.

MSNBC reporter Allison Morris faced immediate backlash and calls for cancellation after a verbal slip during a broadcast about Kobe Bryant's death. Morris appeared to combine the names of the Lakers and the Knicks, resulting in a phonetic similarity to a racial slur.

In a lighthearted moment, the hosts mock an interview segment where Imani Perry is asked to read from the "bottom of 66." Adam Curry initially suspects a coded conspiracy or racial reference, only to realize the interviewer was simply referring to a page number in Perry's book.
