* MemeticMutation: [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty "Pickle Dick"]]. [[note]]On the facebook fanpage, a former podcast fan by the name of Mike Pickell, complained that the show had a heavy slant against "whites" and as such, couldn't support the show nor the fandom. Cue a deluge of fans pointing out all the stuff whites have done throughout history, which is indeed a recurring theme of the podcast. Eventually, Dave Anthony caught wind of this, and posted fanart of Nicolas Cage as a pickle, while also calling the fan a Pickle Dick. The name stuck, though it's also known as "Pickell Dick" or "The Pickell Incident".[[/note]]

** "Black Panther Fred Hampton" where they detail his life as an activist as he rises among the ranks of the Black Panthers, and later shot to death during a very bad police raid at one of his apartments, the following cover-up by the Illinois State Attorney General, the grand jury failing to pass criminal indictments against the police and judges throwing out the civil lawsuits that resulted from the raid all are very reminiscent of the recent questionable death of several African-American men at the hand of police offers that has led to the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement.

** "The Racist Record Keeping of Virginia" examines the deeds of Walter Plecker, who singlehandedly managed to push Virginia to pass the Racial Integrity Act of 1924, which resulted not only in the racial erasure of native americans in the state, but also possibly the strongest miscegenation laws in the United States, which was not struck down until 1967 when the Supreme Court finally ruled on Loving v. Virginia.

** "The Racism of Maryland Route 40" is an examination of the racism African diplomats encountered in the 60s in Washington DC, like the finance minister of Ghana being refused service at a restaurant because they don't serve colored people, or many other diplomats being unable to rent or being charged exorbitant prices in properties near their own embassies.

This is made even harsher when Dave and Gareth comment that the same arguments used back then are the ones being used now to deny access to people that fall under the LGBT umbrella.

** "Fedex Flight 705" is definitively on the HarsherInHindsight, given the attempted hijacking even if it happened before the 9/11 Attacks, though you will still find yourself laughing thanks to the MoodWhiplash.
** "The Killing of Maximum John" is also definitively on the HarsherInHindsight, not the crime itself, but because it touches on the mentality of judges that bought into Nixon's War on Drugs, and one of his aides, John Ehrlichman, admitting that the war on drugs was all a lie to undermine the anti-war left and the black community by giving them excuses to raid political community leaders of those movements, and the effects of such "War on Drugs" can still be felt by society these days.
