They go into the memorial day weekend events, the new population of club goers and the creating of a long lasting legacy for the Kenyan DJs who have managed to keep the event going.  They go into sports talk with conversation about Chelsea winning the Champions League, how you can tell who supports who team and the general overview of the league.
