The Cupid Shuffle and Police PR

The hosts examine the "Cupid Shuffle" phenomenon, where police officers are filmed dancing with protesters. Moe points out that these clips are often recycled or staged for PR, noting a specific clip from 2016 being used in 2020 coverage. They describe this as the modern version of "Ease on Down the Road" from *The Wiz*.

21: You're the Father

The State as a Replacement for the Patriarchal Role

Judge Joe Brown argues that inner cities have become matriarchies where the state and police have replaced the traditional protective role of the father. The hosts discuss the contradiction of calling the police to collect child support while simultaneously protesting police violence and mass incarceration. They advocate for keeping the state out of family affairs and working directly with co-parents.
