The guys compare Father’s Day gifts ranging from plastic surgery and a pack of new socks to an unexpected fascination with the biopic of the King of Pop.

They also take a look at an upcoming film directed by Sean Penn that depicts the experiences of a United States Capitol Police officer during the events of January 6.

Finally, they discuss a recent article by Travis Yates examining the growing belief that de-escalation training is the solution to many police use-of-force issues. Like the D.A.R.E. program before it, de-escalation has been heavily promoted and funded as a cure-all despite ongoing questions about its real-world effectiveness and its ability to address the complex, unpredictable situations officers routinely face.

From Father’s Day surprises and Hollywood projects to policing tactics and public policy, this episode covers plenty of ground.

A traffic stop for a hands-free device violation turns into a lesson in irony, an Indiana police chief gets caught with his hand in the evidence room cookie jar after allegedly selling seized firearms to pawn shops, and the Minneapolis police chief resigns amid allegations of “getting handy” with multiple city employees.

It’s another episode filled with questionable decisions, professional self-destruction, and a reminder that sometimes the biggest threats to a career come from your own hands.

DEI was sold as a cure for institutional dysfunction—but reality keeps delivering different results.

This episode looks at the collapse of Spirit Airlines, fueled in part by government intervention, and the stunning indictment of the Orleans Parish sheriff in Louisiana—hit with 30 felony charges tied to her alleged role in the massive 2025 prison escape that unfolded under her watch.

When ideology replaces competence, the consequences eventually become impossible to ignore.
