Adam Curry and Mo Facts open the 100th and final episode of their five-year podcast series from the Texas Hill Country. The hosts reflect on their history, noting they first connected via Twitter DM regarding the term "ADOS" (African Descendants of Slavery) five years prior. Mo Facts introduces the final topic as the "N-word," describing it as the ultimate rabbit hole that has remained unspoken throughout the previous 99 episodes.
The hosts analyze recent reporting from the New York Times regarding the presence of federal informants in the crowds during the January 6th Capitol riot. They discuss a follow-up protest on September 18th and express concern that the "terrorist" label is being used loosely to strip citizens of their constitutional rights. The conversation emphasizes how these labels allow the government to circumvent standard legal protections.
The conversation focuses on the lack of indictments for certain leaders of the Oath Keepers, suggesting they may be federal assets. The hosts analyze the September 18th protest in D.C., where the media expressed frustration at the low turnout, and a man arrested was revealed to be a federal agent. They also compare the tactical "indexing" and trigger control of the new Taliban in Afghanistan to Western military training, questioning the authenticity of the optics.
The hosts sign off, encouraging listeners to support the show at MoFacts.com. The episode ends with the song "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" by The Temptations, which Adam Curry notes features his birthday, September 3rd, in the opening lyrics. The song's themes of absent fathers and family secrets mirror the episode's discussion.
