Why is there so much pressure to not talk about the slap? No shame talkers, it was legit interesting.

Like my beloved roommate Mike Albo at 10:30am on 9/11/2001 who thought we had talked about 9/11 too much. I would still be talking about the OJ trial and the JonBenet murder if the world would let me, and definitely Trump-Russia. Maybe we need a new social media called DeadHorse where you can just do takes upon takes about Kellyanne Conway, Lizzie Grubman, and the Slap.
