Adam Curry and Mo Facts discuss the human tendency to mirror the language and gestures of others, including "code switching" and the use of AAVE. Mo Facts gives a "public service announcement" to white friends about the awkwardness of forced slang, while Adam admits to using terms like "no cap" with his daughter. They explore how these interactions are shaped by both generational and racial programming.
Mo uses a clip from the 1990s TV show "Roc" to demonstrate that Black communities historically rejected drug dealers and criminality. The protagonist, played by Charles S. Dutton, confronts a dealer, calling him a murderer rather than a businessman. Adam Curry contrasts this with "Starsky and Hutch," where the character Huggy Bear began the trend of glamorizing "cool" criminal informants in media.
