In a live on‑stage segment, the host (Speaker A) calls on an audience member named Brenda. Brenda shares that she was present during a shooting near Chicago's Navy Pier on July 4, 2019. She describes a gunman opening fire, her immediate reaction to flee the scene, and that she bruised her knee while escaping. The host reacts with informal, conversational commentary, encourages the audience to applaud, and presents Brenda with a book as a token of appreciation. The exchange is brief, informal, and emphasizes personal storytelling and audience engagement.

Who's next? Who's next? I see you there. I see you there. I'm gonna sneak past you, too, here. Where are we at? Where we at? Right here. Are you raising your hand? Right here. I got you. I got you. Come on over here. Follow me with your eyes. Go ahead and stand up. All right, first off, what's your name?
My name's Brenda.
Brenda. Everyone say arigato, Brenda. All right, Brenda, what do you got for us?
I was in a shooting in Chicago in 2019.
What? You were in a shooting in Chicago in 2019? How did this happen?
It was Fourth of July, and I was near the Navy Pier, and this guy. I just started bringing out the guns and shooting everywhere, and I was like, whoa, that's kind of scary, bro. So I kind of just zipped out of there, actually bruised my knee.
I love the. I love the. I love the whole setup to it. This guy just started bringing out the guns, and I was like, whoa, bro, that's not cool. Put those away. Can we give her two claps? One, two. Here you go. Take a book.
