Adam Curry and Mo Facts open episode 98 from the Texas Hill Country and Northern Virginia. They discuss recurring technical bugs encountered at the start of recordings. Mo recounts recent encounters with wildlife, including finding a three-foot black snake in his basement and observing a bear at his bird feeder.
A brief discussion covers recent TMZ reports regarding Kanye West using snake emojis, which the media interpreted as a renewed attack on Taylor Swift. This is framed as a tactic to bring West "back in line" by reminding the public of his past controversies with a "lily-white" woman. The hosts suggest this is a recurring media play used whenever West becomes politically inconvenient.
The episode concludes with a summary of the specific targeting of black men by Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King over several years. The hosts reflect on the "truth revealing itself" through the timeline of events following Kobe Bryant's death. The show ends with a reading of "The Snake," a poem about a woman who rescues a frozen snake only to be bitten by it, serving as a metaphor for the themes discussed.
