[Bruce]

There we go.

[John]

That's not so great. Brady Entertainment.

[Larry]

We talked about it a little bit last week. There's another celebrity auction potentially compared to OJ Simpson.

[John]

Oh, OJ. Yeah.

[Larry]

It's supposed to go down sometime in March. OJ is OJ's kids. Can file legal objection which would tie this up in court again.

[John]

Fine, as long as my bids in. But I've waited this long.

[Larry]

Here's an item that you might want to get. It's his bible. It was given to him by one.

[John]

With Robert Kardashian's note in it. Yep.

[Larry]

Robert Kardashian gave it to him after the chase happened in the Bronco and things were going to start going down. And it says, you open it up on the COVID says, read this book every day. God has a definite plan for your life. You are. You are his child and he will use you again. I love you and God loves you.

[John]

What's God's plan for Nicole's life? What was God's plans for Nicole's life? Oh, right.

[Larry]

That's another chapter.

[Bruce]

He's got a copy of Dianetics.

[John]

I hate when somebody tells someone who's murdered. They. When Ray Lewis said that God's plan for me, God's plan for me would put me in that spot because he had greater things planned for me. What about the two dudes you killed? No plan. No plan at all. He didn't have a plan for them. The plan. Let me get this straight. The plan was for God's. God's plan for those guys was for you to kill them so you had a better chance. What?

[Larry]

God's plan was also to stroke a couple of checks.

[John]

God's plan was for you to take a lesser charge for obstruction of justice so you get out so you could fulfill that plan. Meanwhile, the plan for the other two is to live underground for a while. I mean, ever I Hate that. God's plan for you. O.J. if you ever said, hey, O.J. god's got a plan for you, well, that would ensue. That would assume that God's plan was all right, on June 14th of 94, you're gonna cut somebody's head off. This is all part of the plan.

[Larry]

Because his plan of making that white suit disappear.

[John]

Oh, for Ray, flawless. No, he was an accomplice. Talk about obstruction of justice. The Lord Jesus. Give me the suit, Ray. I've got plans for you. But anybody telling OJ God has a plan for you? Even God's like, knock it off. Stop writing that letter right now, Kardashian. I'll show you. Your daughters are going to be.

[Larry]

There's big news that Taylor Swift had lost some Instagram followers since the super bowl. She lost 144,000 followers.

[John]

Yikes.

[Larry]

She's down to 282 million.

[John]

It's a big hit that she can lose her blue check.

[Larry]

I had no idea Travis Kelsey gained 12,000 followers. Maybe they just sweet up to 6.7 million.

[John]

He's catching her. Yeah, they did. They did try to make a big stink out of her losing 140,000 out of two. I saw Jesse Waters saying that, and he was trying to say, it's a movement. And I'm like, she's got just above 200 of a billion followers. She's okay.

[Bruce]

When she loses 100 million, then. Then call us.

[John]

You know, give me a percentage. She has to lose. Like. Like the percentage of that is, like, less than 1. Yeah, she's got to crank it out.

[Larry]

One of Diddy's attorneys filed a motion to be removed from his legal team.

[Bruce]

Oh.

[Larry]

He said no. Under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs.

[John]

Because he knows something. Did he raped him?

[Larry]

Tony Rico is out.

[John]

Hey, if Tony Rico's bailing out of the courtroom, what did he see? Oh, I can't defend that. Look, I'll go so far as to defend murder, but what you're doing to that guy with that thing. You're pooping into his poop.

[Larry]

This last one.

[John]

What is that? Did you just swish a poop toy out of your butthole into another guy? Okay, I'm out. Blackjack.

Oh, no, it's. Well, the Europeans have that huge. It's the biggest thing to do that comes. We're not involved in it, but it's. The nations of Europe send a singing group in.
