The hosts establish the theme for the finale, focusing on a word never spoken in the previous 99 episodes.

Historian Donald Yakovon discusses his research into 3,000 historical textbooks, noting how the achievements of non-white Americans were systematically ignored. He highlights how 1940s high school textbooks portrayed enslaved people using offensive stereotypes and how these books remained in use for decades. The influence of Texas and California on the national textbook publishing industry is identified as a key factor in the persistence of these narratives.

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.

Mildred Loving wrote to Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy in 1963, who referred the case to the ACLU. Lawyers Bernard Cohen and Philip Hirschkop argued before the Supreme Court that Virginia's anti-miscegenation laws violated the 14th Amendment. The 1967 unanimous ruling struck down marriage bans in 16 states and later served as a legal precedent for landmark same-sex marriage cases like Lawrence v. Texas.

Adam Curry and Mo Facts open episode 97 of their podcast series from the Texas Hill Country and Northern Virginia.

Adam Curry and Mo Facts open episode 95 of the podcast, originating from the Texas Hill Country and Northern Virginia. Mo celebrates the installation of a high-speed internet connection after a three-year wait, attributing previous show delays to poor connectivity. The hosts prepare to discuss a specific book selection curated by Mo regarding global conflict.

Adam Curry and Mo Facts return for episode 92 of their podcast after a brief hiatus. The hosts exchange pleasantries, noting they have known each other for four years and discussing family updates, including the upcoming third birthday of Mo's son, Rocco. They prepare to start the show using their "wheel of topics" format.

Alex Jones and other sources identify the Wilks brothers, Dan and Farris, as the billionaire backers of the Daily Wire. Based in Cisco, Texas, the brothers made their fortune in fracking and are known for their extreme privacy and religious conservatism. They are described as the "secret Koch brothers" who use their wealth to influence the Republican party and promote a specific theological agenda through media outlets.

Farris Wilks is identified as the pastor of the Assembly of Yahweh, a Messianic Jewish church in Cisco, Texas. The segment explores the controversy surrounding Messianic Judaism, which traditional Jewish denominations often view as a deceptive form of Evangelical Christianity. The hosts find it ironic that Ben Shapiro, an Orthodox Jew, is financially partnered with a family whose religious sect is often accused of "supersessionism" and proselytizing Jews.

The hosts discuss how the intentional blurring of "privilege" and "supremacy" creates a loop of confusion that serves the ruling class. They recount an instance where a professor used the term "white privilege" to absolve themselves of being part of the "supreme" decision-making class. This confusion prevents individuals from identifying who actually writes the laws and controls the system.

The hosts discuss the "college promise" that suggested education would lead to equal footing, arguing instead that it has become a tool for identifying those who subscribe to the "state religion." Adam Curry shares his experience of being treated differently in Austin after moving to the rural Texas Hill Country. They conclude that living without fear and exercising one's rights provides a peace of mind that the system cannot offer.

Adam Curry and Mo Facts open episode 87 after a hiatus, discussing Mo's new business endeavors and a planned shift in the show's production schedule.

The hosts establish the intent to humanize the conversation while addressing the "triggering" nature of recent headlines.

Adam Curry and Mo Facts return on Labor Day 2022 after a brief hiatus. Mo explains the absence was due to securing foundational income during a personal transition to ensure the show's quality remains high. They discuss the current economic climate, including fluctuating gas prices, before spinning the "Wheel of Topics" to start the Pizza Potluck episode.

Texas reported the first U.S. death of an individual with monkeypox, though officials noted the patient was severely immunocompromised and the exact cause of death remained under investigation. Media reports have begun highlighting a "growing concern" over children contracting the virus, with at least 31 pediatric cases identified. The hosts compare the framing of these stories to the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ebola scare in Dallas.

An anecdote describes a conflict at a Texas Hill Country restaurant where a host's comparison of a server to Snoop Dogg was interpreted as racist by a family member. The hosts use this to illustrate how "misplaced compassion" or hyper-vigilance regarding racism can distort simple observations. They argue that open dialogue allows for the removal of such psychological baggage.

Adam Curry and Mo Facts open episode 84 from the Texas Hill Country. They discuss the challenges of homeownership, specifically dealing with a yellow jacket infestation inside a wall. The conversation touches on the domestic dynamics of handling household pests before transitioning into the main theme of the episode.

The overturning of Roe v. Wade is interpreted as a move toward strengthening state rights and creating "political borders" between red and blue states. This legal divergence may serve to discourage migration from liberal states like California to conservative states like Texas. The discussion notes that while legal frameworks are changing, the day-to-day social reality in places like Austin remains largely unaffected.

The hosts discuss the "controlled demolition" of the food supply, with a shift away from animal protein toward mealworms, soy, and lab-grown meat. They suggest that technology like the Apple Watch will be used to monitor nutrient levels and enforce a "minimum protein" diet. This is linked to the broader "Great Reset" where humans are viewed as the biggest expense in a profitable, automated world.

Adam Curry and MoFax open episode 82, titled "You Can't Make This Shit Up," from the Texas Hill Country and Northern Virginia. The hosts discuss technical challenges with travel and internet in rural areas before transitioning to podcast business updates. Plans are announced to implement live audio streaming for future recordings and to release "lost tapes" from previous sessions to the audience.

The hosts call for a "ceasefire" in the gender war, emphasizing that humans are "meant to be together." They play a final clip of Tony Montana from "Scarface" to symbolize Kevin Samuels' role as the "bad guy" who told the truth. Adam Curry offers MoFax a "sandwich and a bed" in Texas as they sign off, reminding listeners to support the show at MoFundMe.com.
