You’re Kelvin Gastelum. A Brazilian MMA Sports Court issued a suspension and a twenty percent fight purse fine while overturning your victory over Vitor Belfort all because of your UFC Fight Night 106 positive pot test. What PR moves are you making to avoid further punishment from the US Anti-Doping Agency? - 1:24
You’re Al Iaquinta. An unnamed UFC official told MMA Junkie, live, but in private, if you will, that you are a liar and on a three-fight bonus ban for your shameful behavior. As the self-appointed UFC president how will you retain your sack as the Bull of the Woods? - 6:05

You’re the Producers of the upcoming 2Pac biopic “All Eyez on Me”. Funkmaster Flex went on Instagram Live and not only echoed the police report that 2Pac shot himself during the infamous New York studio incident that started the East Coast - West Coast rap feud: "He (2Pac) lied, and Biggie died. That's my only issue" How do you prepare for this issue in your upcoming film promotion? - 15:30

TEACHABLE MOMENT: You’re Hillary Clinton. FBI Director James Comey told Congress that his re-investigation into your private email server was triggered by thousands of classified messages appearing on underage sexting suspect Anthony Weiner’s computer.
