With the city seemingly in a state of flux governed by looting, a humorous proposition emerged: perhaps it was time to start putting everything of value in cages. Various wild ideas were floated about turning stores into miniature fortresses, pleading, "This isn’t my department", emphasizing the absurd routine that has seemingly taken a backseat to bigger issues.

The conversation soon morphed into a discussion of the image of "roof Koreans" — a phrase coined from stories of Koreans defending their businesses during the LA riots. The hosts joked about putting "plastic Koreans" on rooftops to deter looters, showcasing a mix of cultural sensitivity and comedic relief with absurd suggestions, like dressing the inflatable figures in military garb or casual attire.
