1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: If you're trying to implicate that I'm a fucking snitch,

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: check this out. Three things. I ain't a punk, I

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: ain't a bitch, and I had a fucking snitch. Remember

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: that voice, that's Mickey Windecker. As you know from season

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: one of Alphabet Boys, Mickey was a snitch. The FBI

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: paid him to infiltrate an undermine the racial justice movement

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: in the summer of twenty twenty, I'm Trevor Aronson, the

8
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: host of Alphabet Boys. A year ago, we released the

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: show's first season, titled Trojan hears a reference to the

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: Silver Hearst Mickey drove around Denver while secretly working for

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: the FBI. Since the show's release, I've received a lot

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: of questions, among them, what has been the show's impact,

13
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: what happened to Zeb Hall, the activist Mickey set up

14
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 1: in a gun charge, and of course what happened to

15
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: Mickey and I have some answers. In short, there's been impact.

16
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: The ACLU of Colorado has sued the FBI, alleging that

17
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: the secret investigation we revealed an Alphabet Boys violated the

18
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: constitutional rights of Colorado activists. Zeb has petitioned the court

19
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: to vacate his guilty plea based on information we disclosed

20
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: in Alphabet Boys, and we found Mickey thanks to a

21
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: listener who was driving down a bike weekend Daytona Beach

22
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: last year. While listening to Alphabet Boys in Daytona. The

23
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: listener spotted Mickey's silverhears and confronted Mickey. Well, we fucking

24
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: cornered him out behind one of the bars, and from

25
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: there the story gets wild, because of course it does.

26
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: We're talking about FBI in format Mickey Windecker here, there's
