A montage of President Obama's gun control speech highlights his frequent use of first-person pronouns, totaling 76 references to himself in 30 minutes.

### Obama Backmasking, Yes We Can Satanic Theory

A viral audio clip claims that playing Barack Obama's "Yes We Can" slogan in reverse reveals the phrase "Thank you Satan." The hosts experiment with the audio and discuss the nature of backmasking and the high entertainment value of such conspiracy theories. They conclude that while humorous, the phonetic connection is likely a result of creative editing by people with too much free time.

### Obama Backmasking Re-evaluation, Ray the Radio Guy

- **Episode:** [132: Thank You Satan?](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/132-thank-you-satan.md)
- **Published:** 2009-09-20
- **Time:** 58:11–1:00:40
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/132-thank-you-satan/chapter/obama-backmasking-re-evaluation-ray-the-radio-guy.md

The hosts revisit the Obama "Yes We Can" backmasking clip with a new version provided by a listener named Ray. While the new clip attempts to replicate the "Thank you Satan" effect, the hosts find it less convincing than the original viral version. They joke about the President needing to practice his speeches specifically to ensure the reverse audio sounds correct.
