The show also featured a segment on the upcoming 28‑hour commercial‑free broadcast (P16), a bizarre story about a Florida nickel spill worth $1,000 (P21), the Lyrical Gangsta game and Ashley’s chicken‑nugget eating contest (P22), and a discussion of the Street Scene lineup after Black Crows canceled (P31).
