Prosecutor Christopher Darden is credited with creating the ubiquitous euphemism "the N-word" because he refused to utter the slur in court. The segment also features Lee Atwater explaining the "Southern Strategy," where overt racial slurs were replaced by abstract economic terms like "tax cuts" and "states' rights" to serve as dog whistles.
The Lancet medical journal published a case study from France detailing the first suspected human-to-dog transmission of monkeypox. Two men living in the same household reportedly passed the virus to their Italian Greyhound, which developed lesions after "co-sleeping" with the owners. The hosts question the narrative shift from the virus being primarily spread among men who have sex with men to it affecting pets and children.
Mo discusses a 2012 WikiLeaks email from Stratfor employees regarding $65,000 spent on "hot dogs" and "pizza" for a private party at the Obama White House. He notes that "hot dogs" and "pizza" are alleged pedophile codes. The segment also explores Stratfor's parent company, RAINN, and its role in global threat intelligence, while Adam mentions rumors of Alex Jones's connections to Stratfor.
A 2016 clip features former Senator Al Franken discussing a political ad with Jake Tapper, where he identifies "dog whistles" targeting Jewish figures like George Soros, Janet Yellen, and Lloyd Blankfein. Franken compares the rhetoric to the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion," suggesting it appeals to an alt-right base. The hosts discuss how globalist agendas are often publicly stated rather than secret, despite being labeled as conspiracies.
Episode 52 Producer Credits, Dog Training, Jingle Requests
The hosts read through various donations and producer credits for Episode 52. Topics include a memoriam for "Cousin Mikey," a discussion about a host's new dog, Rocco, and requests for custom jingles. Several listeners are "undeadbeated" after contributing to the show, receiving "Mo Karma" in exchange for their financial support.
Donald Trump’s controversial tweet, "when the looting starts, the shooting starts," is analyzed as a "red meat" tactic for his political base. The hosts debate whether the phrase was a deliberate dog whistle or a poorly phrased warning about criminal violence. They conclude that both Trump and Obama played similar political games to avoid appearing weak on crime during election cycles.
The hosts critique the term "People of Color" as a modern linguistic softening of "Colored" and a potential "dog whistle" for those seeking to distance themselves from Black identity. They compare American colorism to the South African "pencil test" used to distinguish between Black and Colored individuals. Kamala Harris is cited as an example of a politician using "woman of color" as a safe, ambiguous identity.
The debate over marijuana legalization centers on its role as a "gateway" for police harassment. Decriminalization allows law enforcement to maintain "probable cause" for vehicle searches based on the smell of weed, whereas full legalization would strip away this common tactic for initiating arrests.
The show concludes with a lighthearted update from the WHO stating that dogs cannot contract COVID-19. The hosts sign off with a parody song about "quarantining with me," encouraging listeners to maintain their mental health and follow hygiene guidelines during the lockdown.
