The conversation shifts to a “This Week in Texas History” segment covering the tragic 1930 Sherman, Texas courthouse riot, where an angry mob lynched an African-American farmhand accused of raping a white woman. The incident led to the courthouse being burned down and attacks on the Black business district. Despite 14 men being indicted, only two were convicted on misdemeanor charges, and none were charged with lynching. Matt uses this as an example of why learning about difficult historical events is important, referencing current debates about teaching Critical Race Theory.

Chuy worries about not liking his physical appearance. Multiple callers contribute their perspectives, with most agreeing they would either fight with or avoid their clones.

The show concludes with Matt teasing a discussion about the Kentucky Derby, which he describes as having one of the greatest sports comebacks ever witnessed.
