In this week's episode, the fellas have an open conversation about ethical non-monogamy (ENM) and open relationships. How do they work? What are the benefits? And is this the next best option for those that have given up on marriage? Also, with the recent release of the Tyre Nichols traffic stop video, we discuss why the punishment has been so swift. As well as the insidious nature of crime task forces like the S.C.O.R.P.I.ON. Unit. Next, Howard University makes history by being awarded a $90Million federal research contract. The first and largest of it's kind for an HBCU. Is this the new trend moving forward, and did HU sell out? And lastly, we discuss the @Hulu docu-series; "The 1619 Project". Does this adaptation add or take away from the current research study, and why is this being released now? We tackle all that and much more.

Howard Awarded $90M Military Research Contract
Howard University is making history after winning a $90 million contract for military research, according to the university.
The university is the first HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) to lead a university-affiliated research center (UARC), which will be funded by the U.S. Air Force and Department of Defense, officials said.
Howard University president, Dr. Wayne A. I. Frederick called the award a shining moment in the schools history.
Tyre Nichols Traffic Stop Video Released
The was one of the four videos authorities released Friday night capturing the brutal assault on 29-year-old Nichols, who was pulled over during a Jan. 7 traffic stop and was dead three days later.
The footage showed four vantage points: Three videos were from officer body-worn cameras and one was from a police surveillance camera mounted on a pole. The videos depicted Nichols being punched, struck with a baton, seemingly kicked in the face, and sprayed with an irritant. They also captured him crying out for his mother and saying he was trying to go home.
And they appeared to show police’s aggressive, chaotic and at times inconsistent demands of Nichols — like demanding he provide his hands while his arm was being held and he was being pulled to his feet. They also appear to show police punch him as he is being held.
