Earl Skakel Mocks Hamburger-Melendez Ava Raiza Feud on BYB Pod
Earl Skakel mocks Hamburger-Melendez drama over Ava Raiza's no-show.
On the latest installment of "MLC Ya Later w/ Earl Skakel," which dropped on BYB Pod on March 11, 2026, host Earl Skakel dedicated a significant portion of the episode to dissecting a brewing feud between Karl Hamburger and Stuttering John Melendez, centered around Ava Raiza. Skakel, often the arbiter of internet drama, appeared incredulous at the back-and-forth, noting, "Ava Raiza's not coming. You sent her the link.
