Load into the Ford Bronco, because we’re going on a ride down memory lane as we revisit the sordid tale of OJ Simpson, American footballer and potential killer. A LOT has happened since Episode 129 of Last Podcast on the Left, including the man’s demise, so we’ve got many things to cover. So let’s take a trip down memory lane—but here’s a tip: don’t take the 405, the traffic’s GNARLY.

Marcus Parks
That's when the cannibalism started. Last update on the left.
Henry Zebrowski
Henry, are you okay?
Marcus Parks
I don't know. How did it start?
Henry Zebrowski
What happened? So upset. Oh, my God. He almost didn't make it in the room. He was curled up in a fetal position right outside the studio.
Marcus Parks
That was because I ate a piece of sushi that I saw on the street. And I ate it just because I was curious.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
I just was so fat. I'm just so fat and fucking stupid.
Ben Kissel
You just fucking eat street fish.
Marcus Parks
I just am dumb. I'm just fucking dumb.
Henry Zebrowski
I'm glad you're saying it, not me.
Marcus Parks
And it seemed to me he lived his life.
Ben Kissel
Like a Cumberland.
Marcus Parks
What are we going to do without him? Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Welcome to last update on the left, ladies and gentlemen.
Marcus Parks
We had to update the episode.
Ben Kissel
We had to update the update. We. We recorded this episode the week. Not the week before, not a month before the week that O.J. died.
Henry Zebrowski
It was like three days.
Ben Kissel
Three or four days before O.J. died. And you'll hear in this episode, you.
Marcus Parks
Hear jokes about how he's gonna die.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. About how we're gonna have to re. We're gonna have to record, like, a new opening because he's probably gonna die before it comes out. And, man, I think he died before even the first update show came out.
Marcus Parks
Pretty certain. Yeah, pretty certain. But what we know now is O.J. simpson, football player, football legend, commercial legend, actor, comedian, husband. He has passed, and the juice is dust. Yes, the juice has been spilt. He is not good. The juice is loose.
Ben Kissel
Is loose. It's just leaking out of his butthole in the mortuary.
Marcus Parks
Yes. That's why you get the little corkscrew thing. They put it up there. O.J. simpson is dead. I recently rewatched the People vs. O.J. simpson, the documentary series, which is incredible.
Henry Zebrowski
Did he win again?
Marcus Parks
You guys gotta go look. I was, like, rooting for it this time, man. Like, tiny hints, tiny hints, tiny hints. Go watch that, too. Before you listen, even listen to this update, rewatch that whole documentary series, you really reminded of how quote, unquote important the man he was. And what? Like, it's just mindboggling. Natalie never watched it because she doesn't like sports documentaries. And finally, because she. I was like. But it's not, though.
Ben Kissel
It's not.
Marcus Parks
And she watched all of it, and she was like, O.J. was bad.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
When I saw that Cuba Gooding Jr. Was playing O.J. i'm like, oh, is this the sequel to Radio? Good work.
Marcus Parks
What was the documentary series O.J.
Ben Kissel
Made in America.
Marcus Parks
America was also very.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. O.J. made in America is, I. I think, one of, if not the best documentary series ever made.
Marcus Parks
Yes.
Ben Kissel
It's incredible. It's. But it's a sports documentary. It's a true crime documentary. It's a sociological documentary. It shows how O.J. simpson truly did change America completely.
Marcus Parks
He was a murderous Forrest Gump. And for that, we want to say thank you for the years of content and OJ I'll see you in heaven, Right?
Henry Zebrowski
Sure.
Marcus Parks
Heaven.
Henry Zebrowski
I mean, heaven's not real.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
So it doesn't matter.
Ben Kissel
Yes.
Marcus Parks
If there was. He's probably there because he did. Because then we talked a little bit about how he made that all his sons sign the NDA to go say goodbye to him on his deathbed. And then. Because it's probably because he didn't want to get the last scoops at the very end. Because then I did research and I did find out that the estate can sue, which is part of the. Partially, the reason why he had an NDA on his deathbed was because he wanted to make sure that the kids didn't go and make money on his name after he died.
Henry Zebrowski
Why not?
Marcus Parks
Because he's a piece of. Because he's O.J. simpson. And, yeah, he might not have been as nice as he seemed.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
I don't think his name's worth as much as he thinks it is.
Marcus Parks
I think that a lot of people would want to hear from the Suns. I actually do. I want to hear. I want to hear the story.
Ben Kissel
But actually, after his d. I can't remember the last time there was a celebrity death in which that many articles were written and that much attention was paid to, like, a man's legacy. Like, his death was massive, very big. It was huge. And it felt like it was one of those things. Like, I felt for a second after OJ Died that it was like a bookend of, like, between, like, David Bowie's death and O.J. simpson's death. For like, a day or two there, it felt like a little magical. Like, things kind of felt like, man, like, maybe things can get back to normal. And then everything just got fucked up again.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
And it wasn't. That was a fantasy of mine that I was hoping would come true.
Marcus Parks
There's a lot more bad people that have to die. We have, like, a whole. I could name 10 that immediately need to go. And once those go, then I think.
Henry Zebrowski
We'Ll see some new ones.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, well, yeah, but the new ones. But you know what?
Ben Kissel
I'm but they'll be our generation.
Marcus Parks
They'll be ours, and we'll know how to handle them, which is by one star reviews on itunes.
Ben Kissel
All right, so here it is, our O.J. simpson update. Pre death O.J. simpson update, which really makes it not much of an update at all.
Marcus Parks
No.
Ben Kissel
Enjoy.
Marcus Parks
Fly from your grave, Democrats.
Henry Zebrowski
About time. About time.
Ben Kissel
They found that Republicans. Whoa, you've never. Have you ever heard that one before?
Marcus Parks
That's me.
Ben Kissel
Republicans.
Marcus Parks
That's mean about Republicans.
Henry Zebrowski
Like. Like. Like pubic hair?
Ben Kissel
No, like poo.
Marcus Parks
Like Democrats.
Ben Kissel
Democrats.
Marcus Parks
That means you're. You're dumb.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, I like Republicans.
Ben Kissel
Republicans is better than Republicans. That's fine, because that. The way I'm saying it sounds more like I'm making. Saying poob instead of poo, like it's some sort of penis boob. A boob on fire already.
Henry Zebrowski
Wow, guys.
Ben Kissel
Wow.
Henry Zebrowski
Are we keeping that in?
Marcus Parks
No, no, you can't keep it. Absolutely not.
Ben Kissel
Is it too good?
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
You know, sometimes an intro, if it's too good, people stop. They go back. They listen to the intro again, and then they're laughing so much they miss the beginning, and then they have to go back.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
So, like, I actually think it's important to cut the intro if it's too good.
Ben Kissel
And you know what?
Marcus Parks
Because they won't listen to the rest of the episode.
Ben Kissel
It's a risk we're gonna have to take today. Welcome to the last update on the left.
Marcus Parks
What we Spit hot fire. Spit hot fire.
Ben Kissel
My name is Marc Parks. Not tired at all.
Marcus Parks
No.
Ben Kissel
Is Henry Zabrowski also not tired?
Marcus Parks
And I think that now that O.J. simpson is sick. Let him kill again. Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
This time himself.
Marcus Parks
Come on. Again. Why can't he just kill one last time?
Ben Kissel
And Ed Larson, what is your. What's your stance on O.J. simpson? Make a wish murder.
Henry Zebrowski
Ooh, O.J. make us wish murder, I would say. I mean, Aaron Hernandez is gone, because that'd be the perfect person from the kill.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
So if he does murder on his deathbed and we allow him to murder, it can't be his choice.
Ben Kissel
I don't know. If we allow him to murder, I think what we do is we put him in a ring and he has the option to murder. But, oh, you know who.
Marcus Parks
Like Marina Barankovich. Like the thing where you put the ball.
Ben Kissel
John Cena.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, John Cena would destroy him.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
He's got cancer. OG Simpson's dying now.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
So, yeah, he's not gonna be able to kill John Cena. That's the thing.
Ben Kissel
You don't want him to be like, you don't want it to be a guarantee. You want it to be a long shot.
Marcus Parks
I thought it'd be like, grandpa's turn, and then you have to go get that. Put the camera in his hands. Being like, let Grandpa do it. He does it best, you know, Like, I thought it'd be like that.
Ben Kissel
That'd be nice.
Marcus Parks
And then he'd hit just. We choose a person. Well.
Ben Kissel
Oh, like a lottery. Like Shirley Jackson's the lottery. You just, like, go to Cincinnati and one person out of Cincinnati gets killed.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, man. Let's not do it in Cincinnati. I got family there.
Marcus Parks
What? It's O.J. simpson.
Ben Kissel
Cleveland. Indianapolis.
Marcus Parks
Yes.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. Yeah. My family lives in Indiana, not Indianapolis.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Bottom gets dead. Everything's fine.
Marcus Parks
Why can't OJ Simpson kill Dick Cheney?
Henry Zebrowski
Whoa. He could kill Dick Cheney.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. With a hammer. Blow to his fucking big headed head.
Ben Kissel
You know what? I'm open to it.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, yeah.
Ben Kissel
All right.
Henry Zebrowski
The juice is loose. And that's blood coming out of his body butt from his prostate cancer.
Marcus Parks
I'm glad he's dying. We wanted to do an update on O.J. simpson because we have not yet done. When did we do our O.J. simpson series?
Ben Kissel
I'm trying.
Marcus Parks
I remember talking about the dancing eos.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, we talked about the dancing. I mean, we went through basically everything. It was just. This was when we were doing very broad overviews of the stories. We did all the. We did the entire O.J. simpson saga, including, like, the MK Ultra stuff and Juiced and Las Vegas all in, like, one episode.
Marcus Parks
Oh, we did all of it.
Ben Kissel
I think we did all of it in, like, one ep. Like, at least that's what my script says. But that's the thing. I don't know what we actually said.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, it's true. It was a long time ago, man.
Henry Zebrowski
I feel like the episode has never ended because y' all just talk about him constantly.
Ben Kissel
We talk about him a lot.
Marcus Parks
Well, because. Yeah, that was kind of like what brought him back into the cultural sphere.
Ben Kissel
It was also like our first true crime story.
Marcus Parks
Oh, yes. We were really obsessed as kids because I know. I always remember when it came on the news, everybody did. It was a. It was a huge deal. We. It was a big part of our lives. I remember when they showed the Verdict at my elementary school and there was a slight race riot.
Ben Kissel
Wow.
Marcus Parks
That happened inside of it.
Henry Zebrowski
Really?
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Elementary school.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. Kids freaked out because it's like, we.
Henry Zebrowski
We saw it in my middle school and, like, everyone was just talking about It. It was perfectly.
Marcus Parks
I think also.
Ben Kissel
Same with me. Yeah, we saw it in our middle school was. Yeah, perfectly.
Marcus Parks
I think kids at home were getting agitated by their parents about the nature of the case.
Ben Kissel
Were you in Queens still?
Marcus Parks
Yeah, I was in Queens.
Henry Zebrowski
It's different. They were just getting violent for any reason in the 90s back there.
Marcus Parks
It was intense. It was intense. But, you know, like, he's innocent. So I actually don't even know why we're even. We even try to do any of this.
Ben Kissel
Obviously, we're still talking about it to this day. I mean, God, he's innocent.
Marcus Parks
I've been trying to figure out who did it because, you know, we know that he tried to write the book. If I did it, it did not go well for him. He said that he probably. He. He said that if he did it, he would have done it different.
Ben Kissel
He says, let's say I committed this crime. This was in a February 98 issue of Esquire. Let's say I committed this crime. Even if I did this, it would have to have been because I loved her very much. Right?
Marcus Parks
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Whatever happened, they printed it. Whatever happened to it?
Ben Kissel
I have a copy of it. Oh, you do? Yeah, it's what happened. Is that Fred Goldman, Ron Goldman's father, you know, who won the civil suit again?
Marcus Parks
So you remember Nicole Brown Simpson? Ron Goldman murdered by Someone.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes.
Ben Kissel
By O.J. simpson.
Marcus Parks
Yes.
Ben Kissel
O.J. simpson definitely killed those two people.
Henry Zebrowski
Do you think he's the funniest murderer of all time?
Ben Kissel
I don't know. That's the thing. I haven't. There's a lot of murderers that I haven't spent time with. He's the funniest celebrity murderer to have ever been caught.
Henry Zebrowski
Okay.
Ben Kissel
Because I wouldn't say that. Phil Spector's super funny, I guess.
Marcus Parks
Robert Blake didn't kill.
Ben Kissel
Robert Blake. Wasn't funny at all.
Henry Zebrowski
You ever seen funny about him?
Marcus Parks
You've ever seen his old. He had a series that he did that was actually really fun. I believe it's called Tony Dancer.
Ben Kissel
No, no, I mean, he was. He was incredible in. In Cold Blood.
Henry Zebrowski
And then also in. Was it the movie with Pullman, Lost Highway.
Ben Kissel
Oh, yeah. Lost Highway.
Marcus Parks
Keep talking amongst yourselves.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. No, when I heard OJ had the Big Casino, I thought he just had an autograph gig at the MGM Cancer. You know, Big Casino. We know what it is.
Ben Kissel
Okay. What do you think I didn't get? I don't get it.
Henry Zebrowski
The Big Casino.
Ben Kissel
What's the Big Casino?
Henry Zebrowski
You never heard that as a term for cancer.
Ben Kissel
I never have.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, yeah. I got the big casino.
Marcus Parks
What?
Henry Zebrowski
You never heard that?
Marcus Parks
What's the big casino? Why would you say that?
Henry Zebrowski
That's cancer.
Ben Kissel
But. But why would you call it that? Because I don't.
Henry Zebrowski
I didn't make it up.
Marcus Parks
Why did you make that up?
Ben Kissel
Was it. I can't believe you all never heard.
Henry Zebrowski
I feel like.
Ben Kissel
Is that something your mom used to say? Probably because your mom, you know, was in. You know, she was a gambler.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ben Kissel
I've never heard anyone called the big casino. Because that doesn't.
Marcus Parks
That.
Ben Kissel
That implies to me, like, I hit the jackpot.
Henry Zebrowski
Or you get all your money, everything taken from you.
Ben Kissel
Oh, wow.
Marcus Parks
Whoa. Yeah, but then. But you sound like. But sometimes you win with cancer. There's no like, ending result in which you're better than you were before necessarily.
Henry Zebrowski
You could get a new asshole.
Marcus Parks
It sounds like a lot of time. Joe Dancer. That is rather show that Robert Blake made. He was in a show. It was technically kind of funny.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes. So far. Barely talked about it.
Ben Kissel
It's. It's a Sopranos thing.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, that's what it is.
Ben Kissel
Sopranos. Okay.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. Well, the reason why we wanted to update it because we got pulled back in because I. So am I. I got married in St. Pete, Florida. I told you. Have I told this story in the show?
Ben Kissel
No, I don't think so. And by the way, it was also used in Ocean's Eleven when Frank and Dino is like, give it to me straight, Doc. Is it the big casino?
Marcus Parks
See the big casino. So I guess it also starts with C. Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Cancer Casino. It's close. Either way. I think my joke works now.
Marcus Parks
I had funny. I used to have funnier times. I used to have fun times a casino than when I eventually will have cancer. Yeah, I assume.
Henry Zebrowski
Don't know that.
Marcus Parks
I don't know it. You're right. Because maybe by the time we're old enough 45, we will have a new type of fun cancer.
Ben Kissel
That's like four years, dude.
Henry Zebrowski
I know.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, that's why I was joking. That's a joke. That was sarcastic. No, it is happening. We're getting rapidly old.
Henry Zebrowski
We all have cancer. Everyone has cancer inside them. It's just a matter of it presents itself or not.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
What?
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, yeah. You have cancer in your body right now.
Ben Kissel
It's all there. Yeah, we all have it.
Marcus Parks
I don't have it.
Henry Zebrowski
Every human.
Marcus Parks
No, I beat it out of me.
Henry Zebrowski
Sure.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. Dude. I. My thetans are gone.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, good for you.
Marcus Parks
All right. I go I destroyed my thetans on my own. I'm the self actualized Neo that they've been asking for and know that's going to arrive to Scientology eventually, which is why they don't want me in there, because I'm going to disrupt the entire thing. But I was getting married and I remember the day. It was a beautiful day. Do you remember the day?
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. In Tampa.
Marcus Parks
No.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, is it in August? No, it wasn't.
Marcus Parks
Do you remember my anniversary?
Henry Zebrowski
No. Why would I remember your anniversary?
Ben Kissel
It's October, right?
Marcus Parks
I know your anniversary.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, it's easy. It's the day before July 4th. Yeah. That's an easy one. I made f would fly on a holiday weekend and spend exorbitant amount of money on plane tickets.
Marcus Parks
And yours is my mother's birthday. Eleven, nine.
Ben Kissel
Nice.
Henry Zebrowski
I see. I would have guessed May for you.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
No, it was cold.
Ben Kissel
Eleven, nine. That's, that's not. That's not. When we got married, when was it? 11:10, Armistice Day.
Henry Zebrowski
You remember the day you got the flight?
Marcus Parks
But I was down. When I got married, we were in St. Pete, Florida, and I, I, we were staying at this little hotel, and it was so cute for our wedding night. And we were like, oh, this is gonna be fun and romantic in Nice. And I went on to the Instagram because I thought it'd be fun to go see, like, let's see what other atmospheres have been like here.
Ben Kissel
What is.
Marcus Parks
What's the life like here? What's the party life like here? And the first picture was a picture of a young blonde lady with O.J. simpson in it. And then I got. I went to the bartender And I said, O.J. simpson. Is he here a lot? He's like, he's here about three or four times a week. And I was like, what? It's like, yeah. He comes and he visits his son who lives out here. So he's here all the time. And I just can't even imagine what would have happened.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
If my new wife and I. Because I also know that I would have the. Truly, honestly, it's a millennial issue. It's an addiction to post irony. And so I think that physically, I would have to be restrained to not get a picture with him.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
You know, he would buy you a bottle of champagne for the newlyweds.
Marcus Parks
And that was right before.
Henry Zebrowski
Make sure you talk through all your problems.
Marcus Parks
You know what if there's somebody who's got good advice? He told you, he's like, how to avoid all of this.
Henry Zebrowski
Don't let her be a waitress.
Ben Kissel
Yes.
Marcus Parks
Let her go to a restaurant. Never let her go. And. But it's right shortly after that, he joined Twitter.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
And it kind of brought it back. So O.J. simpson's on Twitter. He's talking about how abortion should be legal.
Henry Zebrowski
He has very liberal views.
Marcus Parks
He's gone full on. I want to say. He said, like that, hello, Twitter world. I just want to say Ruth Bader Ginsburg was someone I really, really appreciated. Like, it's like, it's a weird thing. He was, like, talking about. He was talking about he was pro vaccine.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
He was sure that he had got Covid in January of 2020.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. He was pro vaccine. And he started going to Buffalo Bills games again.
Marcus Parks
Just. And they applauded him. They did.
Henry Zebrowski
He was very good for them.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, for them.
Henry Zebrowski
I just said that.
Marcus Parks
But the thing is, after you've narrowly missed having the government prove that you've killed everyone, it's hard to then go. And then you get to be everybody's hero. You get to go. And they played. I want to say that they played the Naked Gun theme, and he waved at the crowd in Buffalo, and everyone cheered for him because that's how desperate Buffalo is for a win. Well, also. And they miss those days when O.J. simpson. And they will do anything it takes to take it back and clock again. I'm sorry, Courtney and Kate, one. I love you both, but you guys like O.J. simpson more than you like alive women. That is just a fact about Buffalo.
Henry Zebrowski
Do you think that they were, you know, more applauding the Naked gun theme than O.J.
Ben Kissel
I mean, I applaud the Naked Gun theme. I. I need to watch 30. Like, I've watched one and two and a half recently and just goddamn had. Like, I was down. Like, I was in a low point. So we just watched both of those movies and, like.
Henry Zebrowski
And I.
Ben Kissel
It, like, turned, like, my month around.
Henry Zebrowski
When was the last time you saw Police Squad? The actual show?
Marcus Parks
Oh, forever.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, it's so good. I got the DVDs. All right. So now we have a full day.
Marcus Parks
Perfect.
Henry Zebrowski
All right.
Marcus Parks
It's so worth it, too.
Henry Zebrowski
It's all jokes.
Marcus Parks
And O.J. simpson, if he just could have found some of that laughter. Because I know when I'm sad or angry and I get mad at waiters, you know, talking to my wife, I just kind of, like, I just sit and I try to think about absurd things. I go, like, isn't funny finger puppets? Yeah, it's a weird, huh?
Henry Zebrowski
But you'd be mad if one Followed her home.
Marcus Parks
A finger puppet?
Henry Zebrowski
No, a waiter.
Marcus Parks
Well, yeah, because then you'd be following us home.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes. Unless she was, you know, out with the ladies or something, you know?
Marcus Parks
Wait, but then. Yeah, but then again, are you just trying to offer more good service? Because I do love waiters.
Ben Kissel
And he was like. He was offering more good service. He was returning her glasses.
Marcus Parks
I just love restaurants so much. I can't imagine hurting anybody within side of a. I believe everybody that's inside of a restaurant is pure man.
Henry Zebrowski
I get so mad when I get a bad sandwich.
Marcus Parks
Of course, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
If you make a bad sandwich. Because they're so easy to make.
Marcus Parks
Well, actually, no.
Henry Zebrowski
No. You don't think they are.
Marcus Parks
I think that a good bread is one of the most difficult issues.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, yeah. We're talking about, like, the smearing of the mayonnaise.
Marcus Parks
Oh, you're just talking a poor construction. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
I get furious.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, yeah. Because you have to be doing it. Even people with no hands who do it with their feet, learn how to do it.
Henry Zebrowski
Take your time.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Make it nice. Don't make it twice.
Marcus Parks
Do it with their teeth. Just as good as anything. So if you're making a bad fucking sandwich and I'm paying you to fucking be there, then we need to think.
Henry Zebrowski
About where we're at.
Marcus Parks
We're a country wondering why China's winning.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
See this?
Marcus Parks
China's beating us in AI.
Henry Zebrowski
This is how OJ Felt when he saw that waiter follow his wife.
Marcus Parks
So you're saying O.J. simpson killed his wife and he killed that waiter. Not just Ron Goldman. The man, Ron Gold. And he went to kill these people. Not because he's a psychopath and a misogynist. He killed them. Bad service to fight China, which actually is a huge deal if we think about it that way.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
And maybe now it's the reason why he's dying of cancer.
Ben Kissel
You think it's polonium from the Chinese?
Marcus Parks
I think it's general. So chicken. I think it's got colon cancer.
Ben Kissel
American dish.
Marcus Parks
General, so I believe, is a real guy.
Henry Zebrowski
Might as well be spicy, but yet sweet. Like a good general. Like.
Marcus Parks
Like, bad for you.
Ben Kissel
That's always good about General Patton. He's spicy, but he's sweet.
Marcus Parks
But I just don't understand you. O.J. simpson, he actually was also still in very good health later on that colon cancer still comes. You got to be careful with colon. Colon cancer. I feel like that's what really this episode should be about.
Ben Kissel
Yes.
Marcus Parks
Colon cancer, how to avoid colon cancer.
Ben Kissel
I got to get it? Yeah. I'm getting a colonoscopy done here soon. Just because I got to. Because, you know, the bleeding butt and all that.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, yeah.
Marcus Parks
Was yours bumped up early because your blood. Because you have the. Yeah, the stigmata.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, I just have to do the. Yeah, the anus stigma. I just have to do it, you know, more often than. Than men do earlier.
Marcus Parks
You do have an anus. Anus stigmata is a really fun, like, name for album.
Ben Kissel
Anus stigmata. Yeah, it's an.
Henry Zebrowski
I think you're all right. You probably have semicolon cancer. That's in English.
Marcus Parks
He's an English.
Henry Zebrowski
Punctuation.
Ben Kissel
Punctuation. That's why I chuckle.
Marcus Parks
You know what's good about that? It's getting. It fills time. It feels seconds of time. It says here the way you avoid colon cancer is don't have a butt.
Henry Zebrowski
So be a conehead.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Oh, yeah, that's right. They just got the dots.
Henry Zebrowski
Yep, yep. That's right.
Ben Kissel
How did they defecate?
Henry Zebrowski
I don't think they did.
Marcus Parks
They don't.
Ben Kissel
No. You have to.
Henry Zebrowski
But they ate so much.
Ben Kissel
That's the thing you ate. You eat so much. When you eat, you must defecate. Any biological animal defecates. Do you think it comes out of their mouth?
Henry Zebrowski
I don't know. But when you miss an opportunity, when you interview Dan Aykroyd.
Ben Kissel
God.
Marcus Parks
And then if you won't get back, we've been trying to hit him up. He won't get back. OJ up for fucking weeks. And now he's about to fucking die.
Ben Kissel
He might die. I mean, he's going to die.
Henry Zebrowski
If he dies before this comes out, you know, we're sorry.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, well, we'll. We'll do an addendum. You'll have heard if he dies before this comes out, you'll have heard us come out up top and say, like, hey, this is recorded before he died.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Do you know what's crazy? So my cousin graduated from usc. I went to the graduation, and right next to the graduation was like. They're like trophy hall. And they had O.J. simpson's Heisman Trophy in there.
Marcus Parks
Oh, wow. I got that. Got stolen.
Henry Zebrowski
No, they kept it all. Kept. He got to keep his. He. He sold his back when you were still allowed to sell it, and then someone else sell it now. It's, like, in a private collection. But he. They still had O.J. simpson's. No matter what, they're, like, still presenting it. Reggie Bush, on the other hand, they removed it because he got caught taking Money.
Marcus Parks
So they decided that Reggie Bush stealing money was.
Henry Zebrowski
Reggie Bush had to give back his Heisman. And OJ has not. Even though OJ he wasn't stealing money, he was taking money for to play.
Marcus Parks
Football, which is now they made legal.
Henry Zebrowski
Which is now legal. But Reggie Bush still doesn't have his highest. OJ Got. Still gets to keep it.
Marcus Parks
What?
Henry Zebrowski
Isn't that crazy?
Marcus Parks
So OG Simpson is fine.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
You can also be like. Well, I guess he was at first. I guess again. All right.
Henry Zebrowski
He is convicted for stealing sports memorabilia and for kidnapping.
Ben Kissel
He's convict. He was convicted for some bad shit.
Henry Zebrowski
Not while he was playing.
Marcus Parks
See, that's what they're saying. And I also find that interesting is that as long as it's football concern.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
Nobody seems to care about O.J. simpson as long as you put it. Because you notice his Twitter, all this stuff he was talking about. Yeah. Obviously he threw some pretty at this point, we were talking about his quote unquote liberal politics, but it's way more like center liberal. He's acting like a quote unquote normal guy. And then also just talking about football. Like all you do is talk about football. And golf. And golf you just talk about with neutral subjects, which is also kind of sad.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, he was a sports commentator for many years. He's very trained in talking about football.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
And he did it for a long time.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
And no one seems as long as you're just talking about that. But the one thing he did know best, which was how to get away with murder, which I think a lot more people would be interested in. And how do I do what you did?
Henry Zebrowski
He wrote a book about it.
Marcus Parks
I know. And the thing is they shut it down because people are afraid of the truth.
Ben Kissel
I mean, it's very easy. I mean, it's just that he'd be one sentence long, hire a lot of very expensive, manipulative lawyers who have no morals.
Henry Zebrowski
Wow.
Ben Kissel
That's how you get off.
Marcus Parks
That's incredible.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
Well, it's also got have big hands and he didn't take his medication.
Ben Kissel
Arthritis.
Marcus Parks
And also it really helps if you have an entire racist police department that you can throw under the bus that.
Henry Zebrowski
You'Re hanging out with a lot.
Marcus Parks
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
You're always hanging out with.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. So I think that also helps.
Ben Kissel
And also have a very incompetent forensics team. That also helps.
Marcus Parks
Wow, that does help. Wow, it does take a village. You know, and they say, you know, that's the thing. There's no self made any. Anybody. Yeah, it's really about people help. Everywhere you go. You don't know.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
You know what I mean? Like, I don't know. Like, if I didn't get fat enough, I don't know if I would have booked work. So I feel like in many ways, the Italian and Chinese restaurant community of New York City, in many ways, was my village.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. Because you used to, like, order so much Chinese food, they give you multiple sets of utensils.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. Like four or five.
Henry Zebrowski
That's how you knew it was, like, a good order.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
I remember those days.
Marcus Parks
If they thought it was a family, that's how you know you were winning. Yeah. Yeah. Because that means that you took it down. Or it's. The worst is when they bring a box.
Henry Zebrowski
Ah.
Marcus Parks
When they. When you see the box of food and you're like, oh. Oh, no.
Ben Kissel
Oh.
Marcus Parks
Oh. That was when I was getting. I was getting all fat and sassy. I was getting all.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. You'd order enough to get a box.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Dog. Wow. Yeah. What would that entail?
Henry Zebrowski
Lots of apps.
Marcus Parks
Well, I like. Yeah, I like to choose the apps. And then also I started to believe that as long as they were meat based, that they were healthy, which is sort of real. So I'd get my spare ribs. I'd get this sliced barbecue pork, which I like both because I like this chunk of them. I like the chunk off the bone. I also like, eaten in slice form. And then I would just get a little bit of the noodles, and I'd get them steam. I would get steamed dumplings because I thought that was healthier because it's steamed. It's cooked with steam. That's air. It doesn't get fried. It's air. And then I would make. I get beef and broccoli. Because that Broccoli in it. Yeah, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
And I just got to be healthy.
Marcus Parks
Yes.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, yeah, of course. And it doesn't matter that it's, you know, like, so quick.
Henry Zebrowski
And, you know, rice comes from the earth, too.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
That's all herbs. Rice or herbs, last I checked. Yeah. Yeah. So it's very good. Yeah, that's it. And then. But I'd be like. Because also I'm, like, broke, but I'm also just drinking because then I'm just drinking 40s and eating Chinese food.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. But that's the thing is that back then in New York, you could get that much Chinese food for like, six bucks. Yeah.
Marcus Parks
25 bucks. Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Really want to order some Chinese food tonight?
Marcus Parks
I just want to do, like, like, New York style.
Henry Zebrowski
What was that place?
Marcus Parks
King was King Wa was good. And then so was the, the. Oh, my mouth. I'm so hungry.
Henry Zebrowski
It is definitely dinner time.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. We need to move on.
Henry Zebrowski
O.J. simpson is still in the NFL hall of Fame.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
Not remove him from there because I guess it's. He didn't get convicted.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. No.
Marcus Parks
And that's the whole things.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, he was convicted of the, the other ones.
Marcus Parks
But yeah, it's, you know, everyone knows that was, you know, everyone who is kind of on his side almost.
Ben Kissel
Well, they would. One of the lawyers from the first trial called it the fifth quarter where. Because they didn't get him on the murder charge.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
When they came in on this charge, like they gave him the maximum sentence for every single thing. I mean, he ended up getting out anyway.
Henry Zebrowski
Of course they did. Of course they did. Now I sent you a quote. I don't know if you got it yet. Henry.
Marcus Parks
Yes.
Henry Zebrowski
From O.J. simpson's hall of Fame acceptance speech. Would you mind?
Marcus Parks
It's pretty great.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
And it's pretty inspiring. Well, I'll never forget Jack McBride because he told me, he said, O.J. in this world there are rules that we must all live by. He said, you've got to learn that if you're ever going to be successful in this world, you're going to have to learn to accept the responsibilities for your actions. And I don't know, it didn't hit me right then, but it started to grow on me as years went on because I knew I was this guy's favorite and he turned me in and he would have turned me in anyway. And I guess this is when I began to realize what it really, really is. Second, that it really, really is secondary if you win or lose. It's how you play the game in life and on the field that really matters. So I'll always be grateful to Jack McBride. Responsibility, you know, it's about responsibility for his actions and that's why I'm always been. So he's still out there like because you. How hard it is to pick up clues this far after the murder.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
And he's out there and now he's sick. He's sick and he's running out of time. And honestly. Yeah. Sure, he might have ran his way through as many fake titted blonde women that he could have all throughout Florida and left each one sort of vaguely scared and disappointed. But he was researching, trying to figure out who would kill a woman who would ever think to. And so what he would do is just. He'd ask, he'd be like hey, go. Because I thought that was really responsible of him is that he would go on a date with a blonde woman and he'd ask, why should I kill you? And she'd always be like, I'm trifling and cheating and I'm trying to. I'm unreliable. And I, I. And I think you're. You've got a small dick. And it'd be like, well, see, I'm better now. Like, he would, I think that important for him.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
Ben Kissel
Well, you mentioned earlier, is he the funniest murderer out there?
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
And he. Actually, the thing is about O.J. simpson is I think he can be directed to be funny. Because if you watch the. The old Naked Gun movies, really. His shining moment. He has one shining moment. That's the boat scene.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. When he gets shot.
Marcus Parks
Oh, it's great.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, the boat.
Marcus Parks
That's his Buster Keaton.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, yeah. When he. When he, like, puts his shoulder in the wet paint, he's like, oh.
Marcus Parks
Oh, man.
Ben Kissel
It's incredible. I mean, it is. It's an incredible scene. But when he was tasked to be funny all on his own, when OJ was given a blank check for his.
Marcus Parks
Prank show Juiced, because they were like, oh, OJ's funny.
Ben Kissel
OJ. Yeah, OJ's funny. Let's give OJ a blank check and, like, have him come up with all these ideas for pranks. Because 2005 prank shows are very popular.
Henry Zebrowski
In 2005, especially the direct to DV DVD market.
Ben Kissel
Oh, yeah, no, because that's too hot for television. Too hot for television because there was a music video involved that had a lot of tits. Yeah, just. They just put it in there and it's just O.J. simpson in the stereotypical pimp costume. They rented a mansion somewhere in Florida. A couple of ladies come along.
Marcus Parks
Oh, yeah.
Ben Kissel
It's a lot.
Marcus Parks
Oh, yeah.
Ben Kissel
But Juiced. Have you ever seen Juice?
Henry Zebrowski
Just the clips you've showed me.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Because I never actually watched the whole thing.
Marcus Parks
It is unwatchable.
Ben Kissel
I've sat down and watched it multiple times. Because we did an OJ Simpson bit for a live show many, many years ago, back when we were doing, like, 300 seat rooms. And I watched it because we were gonna play like that was gonna be the climax of the bit was, like, the show Juiced. I could not find one funny clip.
Marcus Parks
Nothing.
Ben Kissel
The entire. It's all just uncomfortable in a bad way.
Marcus Parks
Yes.
Ben Kissel
Like, it's. Everyone's uncomfortable. Everyone's, like, very weirded out that he's making light of the murder and that he's like, just. And he's not doing funny. Like, he's at a drive thru and he's like taking sips of sodas before handing them to people. And people are just like, what are you doing? Yeah.
Marcus Parks
He tries to sell a white Bronco.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
He pops out from behind it and he's just like, see, it's me, it's white Bronco. And it's like, that's all. There's no material.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
There was actually a great expose written by the comedian that wrote this process. And they were talking about how O.J. simpson would arrive. He was visibly intoxicated every time. Every single time. Obviously extremely difficult to control. I wouldn't just kind of obviously blow off shoot dates. Showed up with a bunch of sex workers. He was a. Not in good shape.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, of course not.
Marcus Parks
Not ready to be on camera.
Henry Zebrowski
He was doing. He did whiteface in it. Correct.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. He dressed up like an old man. Like an old white man and just bothered people.
Henry Zebrowski
I mean, that's fun though.
Ben Kissel
But there was no jokes. He was just bothering people. And they just thought, like, why is this strange looking Yoda man bothering me?
Henry Zebrowski
Well, you know, gotta make a living.
Marcus Parks
It's. You don't that way. I feel like there's so many. I actually rather you be a Times Square Elmo. I think that there's other things to do besides help OJ Simpson make a prank video.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, 2005 is an abysmal time for art.
Marcus Parks
It was a hard time.
Ben Kissel
It was real. Yeah, it was real hard.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Like. Yeah. What were even, like, the movies of 2000?
Marcus Parks
2005. 2005. I was just so.
Henry Zebrowski
Jerry Maguire. I was just so high.
Ben Kissel
No, 2000. No. Jerry Maguire was like 96.
Henry Zebrowski
That's right.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, that's right.
Henry Zebrowski
That's right.
Marcus Parks
I was just fat and drunk. 2005.
Henry Zebrowski
We were working together.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. Yeah.
Ben Kissel
2005. Yeah, that was. Yeah. Senior or remember any of that? Our senior year in college. Yeah. It wasn't a lot going on there.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. What was on them?
Ben Kissel
That there's a Harry Potter movie. The third Star wars prequel. The War of the Worlds remake.
Marcus Parks
Oh, I remember that. I remember getting stoned for that. Sitting in the second row and thinking it was real, dude.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. It was scary for, you know, for the first, like, 20 minutes.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
The Peter Jackson, King Kong.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, yeah, it's bad.
Marcus Parks
That was a bad year.
Ben Kissel
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Marcus Parks
Awful. All bad.
Ben Kissel
Batman Begins.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, sure. That's fine.
Henry Zebrowski
That's good. That's a good one.
Marcus Parks
You know, you know, O.J. didn't make any of this better. O.J. had an opportunity. We were looking to O.J. to fix it. Because imagine if he went through all of this, killed his wife, killed her boyfriend, killed, like, you know, like, stole all this stuff, came back after all this. But what if he had made his full on Greta Thunberg move? If he went to save the world, would you feel bad, like, if he went to do something that would like, save a boatload of people?
Ben Kissel
Like, oh, you're talking like Randy Quaid at the end of Independence Day.
Marcus Parks
Yes. Or if you like, let's say this might be comical, but someone left the bomb on a cruise boat.
Henry Zebrowski
Okay.
Marcus Parks
He got the bomb. He found the bomb, jumped off the boat with the bomb, or threw the bomb off. Like lived, threw the bomb off and saved everyone. 1. Would you forgive him?
Henry Zebrowski
I mean, you don't have to forgive him. You can just be happy he saved those people.
Marcus Parks
But would you be like, all right, O.J. you can be in the Naked Gun remake.
Ben Kissel
No. Because he's got cancer now.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, yeah, now no one will insure him.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, that's the main issue. But you think if he saved like 300 people.
Ben Kissel
Oh, he saved and lived. I thought you meant that he said he sacrificed him.
Henry Zebrowski
No.
Marcus Parks
And then he could go on and then we could bring him back too. Would that uncancel him? If he saves like 400, 500 people in one go, will he be. Can he go get his hair played with by Jimmy Fallon?
Henry Zebrowski
It's interesting. Like, once you become like a notorious, horrible person, nobody even wants you to do anything good.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Remember when. Remember when the KKK tried to adopt the highway? And everyone's like, no, you can't adopt the highway. We won't even let you clean the highway.
Marcus Parks
Why? They were doing it because they wanted.
Henry Zebrowski
To paint the road white.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. And they wanted us to put up, put up messages. O.J. silver, Simpson, if he wants to maybe get right. If he had wanted to get right with Go, he might could do something cool. Like, they'll tell everybody. Don't you know? I watched Matrix Resurrections. It's bad. He could have saved us all from that. Like, if you could have just done something to protect us all.
Ben Kissel
About 2005 was like, it was the year in music of second best album.
Henry Zebrowski
Ah.
Ben Kissel
Like Demon Days by Gorillaz. The woods.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Cedar, Kenny. It's like all second best albums.
Marcus Parks
It's a hard year.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. Gimme fiction. Spoon. Yeah, I like Spoon, but no, it's. But that's Spoon's like second best album. Hyper Magic Mountain by Lightning Bolt.
Marcus Parks
It's like their third best album. We're just gonna get. This is where we're gonna get the letters. Yeah. It's not the rest of it. It's this little portion.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. They're just. It's just. Yeah. That was the year that Million Dollar Baby won Best Picture.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, the one about the lady boxer who bit off her tongue to die.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
And all her parents and her parent. Her family came to see her in the hospital and they all went to Disney World.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, yeah.
Marcus Parks
That was at that movie.
Henry Zebrowski
That was that movie. Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
But Morgan Freeman won. So that's good.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, that's good.
Ben Kissel
And like the Aviator won a bunch of awards.
Marcus Parks
Aviator was fine.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. Best original score. Finding Neverland.
Henry Zebrowski
I liked Finding Neverland.
Ben Kissel
We owe a lot of people movies.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. Not the other one.
Henry Zebrowski
Whatever. I hear leaving Neverland, I'm always like, I feel bad for finding Neverland. No one cares anymore. That's what happened.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
No one knows about it. Wow. And then it's Johnny Depp, who was doing a Michael Jackson impersonation in Charlie.
Marcus Parks
And the Chocolate Factory.
Ben Kissel
Wow.
Marcus Parks
That's weird, dude. All this is so much more interconnected than the O.J. simpson material.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
That we had. This is actually deeper.
Henry Zebrowski
And the Goldman family has never been paid.
Marcus Parks
No. The golden family, you know, they never got paid.
Henry Zebrowski
They got 100 and something. Thousand dollars.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. They got.
Henry Zebrowski
With interest. It's up to like 60 or 70 million, maybe more now.
Marcus Parks
They were obviously. They're always like pulled back. Every single time he farts, they talk to the Goldmans and they were never allowed to be released from this at all.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
O.J. simpson will be dead soon. Very soon. That at least we know. And that when he dies, then this will finally be over. And it's weird because I actually kind of feel like almost a sadness in a way.
Ben Kissel
Well, It'll be because O.J. simpson was very. To our childhood.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. It's such a big part of the 90s.
Marcus Parks
I kind of felt the same way when Charles Manson died.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. That something that an innocence had taken from this world.
Marcus Parks
He.
Ben Kissel
Manson died something. Something pure, something. I don't know, some Geno Sequoia.
Marcus Parks
It's just weird to have a thing that feels like such a big part of your brain and it's gone. Yeah. An institution. It's gone. I could see, like, why, you know, boomers are like, I don't know how to use the printer anymore because someone. Stuff is changed. My mother, who prints out every Everything. She prints out everything. MapQuest, all of it. She prints out everything. And then she overloads the print queue and breaks the printer. I've. I've gone through three printers, and then I fixed three different printers, and I went. And I've talked to that woman over the fucking phone about these fucking printers. And I was like, I bought you a brand new iPad. That's what this is for. You could look at it on your iPad. You don't need to print it out. And she's just like, I don't trust the iPad. It gets viruses. And I was like, that's your action.
Henry Zebrowski
So do you. Yeah, that's you.
Marcus Parks
You are getting the virus.
Ben Kissel
Viruses, iPads. Never heard of anyone getting a virus on an iPad.
Henry Zebrowski
I don't think I've ever heard it either.
Marcus Parks
She doesn't. She's afraid of it. She's like, I click on it and I go to things. I don't mean to.
Ben Kissel
I think she just doesn't know how to use it.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, she's probably slapping it with her whole hand.
Marcus Parks
It's the easiest advice. Use it. They train dogs to use it.
Henry Zebrowski
I bet OJ Uses one.
Marcus Parks
Oh, he does now.
Henry Zebrowski
Signs all his documents, all his autographs. I looked up how much an OJ Autograph is. They're all over the place. Place. You know, they're. They're either, like, really expensive or like, $2.
Marcus Parks
How much is, like, what would be the expensive one? Is it on, like a.
Henry Zebrowski
His rookie card?
Ben Kissel
Well, that's the rookie card.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ben Kissel
I mean, if you just get OJ to sign a hat. Yeah, that's not going to be that expensive.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, but he's. They got a lot of jerseys with his stats on it and stuff like that. Wow. Go for a good amount of money.
Ben Kissel
Actually, you can get a jersey. O.J. simpson autographed Buffalo Bills. Only 160 bucks. That's it on Amazon.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, he does a lot of autograph events now in Vegas.
Ben Kissel
Ah, dude.
Marcus Parks
Should we each get one?
Henry Zebrowski
No, no. I do not need that in my house. First of all, I'm a Dolphins fan. More importantly than a Time Murder fan, I'm a Dolphin fan.
Marcus Parks
Dude. You don't think it would be fun to walk down the street and them together like a squad? Oh, yeah, we're Simpson boys.
Henry Zebrowski
That'll go over well. Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Here in Los Angeles, where the murder.
Marcus Parks
Happened, where the Simpson boys.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, you know, he's a good old college boy from this town.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, we. We're kind of guys get all phone.
Henry Zebrowski
Cry, but interesting one of the things I did learn about the Goldman family is that they can't get the money because they're not allowed to get any money from his pension. From his NFL pension. And that's kind of what he's living off of right now.
Marcus Parks
How does he get the money from the NFL pension, but they can't.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, because it's his pension, you can't like be sued for your pension, apparently.
Marcus Parks
Is that. Wow.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. So he. Yeah. So he's getting unions, huh? Yeah, they work.
Marcus Parks
Wow.
Henry Zebrowski
But he.
Marcus Parks
Simpson, union man.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. So he paid in 7 million to his pension. And so he. And if you wait longer to ask for it. He waited TILL he was 65. He was literally. He made like, like $600,000 when he was in prison.
Marcus Parks
Why?
Henry Zebrowski
Because he was getting. When he turned 65 and he was getting his pension. It was just being put away for.
Marcus Parks
Him the whole time. Oh, shit.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. And so. And then he has a really high pension because he.
Marcus Parks
So.
Henry Zebrowski
And he paid so far into it. Yes, he paid 7 million into it.
Marcus Parks
He has a beautiful home.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, I'm sure he does.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. He gets like 20,000amonth, they said, which is very high for people. Most players only get like a thousand or thirteen hundred or something like that.
Ben Kissel
Wow.
Henry Zebrowski
And so he gets a lot of money for his pension.
Marcus Parks
Holy shit.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Yeah.
Marcus Parks
Well, I'm glad he's doing good. You know, like, it's so funny to think when I saw that 75 year old woman who delivered my instacart the other day, and I just like, you know, obviously I. I tossed her a quarter and I told her to be careful there.
Henry Zebrowski
Don't breathe on.
Marcus Parks
I don't want. It's like that OJ Sims is like just doing great. His teeth look great. You know, you look at him, he's got a big, you know, like he's got new veneers in.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
But I think he's gonna die soon. He hasn't tweeted since February 11th.
Ben Kissel
No, he's gonna be diagnosed on the 9th. Or he was diagnosed in February.
Marcus Parks
Yes.
Ben Kissel
His chemo started in February, so. Yeah, he's. Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Wow.
Ben Kissel
His last tweet was a picture of him, a video of him going away. And the caption is Hospice. Twitter World.
Marcus Parks
I didn't even believe it myself.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, he changed it to X World, by the way.
Marcus Parks
So he decided that for some reason, makes me hate him worse than ever.
Ben Kissel
He went with the brand, he changed with.
Marcus Parks
The branding is so obnoxious. I don't know why about that. That is Obnoxious to me. Like, it drives me craz.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
Wow. Well, you know, he'll be dead soon.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh, absolutely.
Marcus Parks
Thank the Lord. But also, what's the big next one that we're afraid of when we lose them? What are we going to do next?
Ben Kissel
The next big criminal, Cosby, by the.
Henry Zebrowski
Way, probably both have CTE because Cosby played high school college football for Temple. He was an All American.
Marcus Parks
Or who dies first? Oh, I guess how fast O.J. is, he's going to die faster than Bill Cosby.
Henry Zebrowski
I bet Cosby lives to be 100.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
What, just on Pure Evil.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, I bet so. I bet so.
Marcus Parks
We're too nice.
Henry Zebrowski
What do you mean? We should have killed him?
Marcus Parks
I mean, if we. I know. I'm saying in general, we're going to die younger because we're not as evil as the guys that live longer.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. We get to have a good time.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. Yeah. That's the thing, is we live better lives. They're shorter lives, but the better lives, I mean.
Marcus Parks
Do you think Bill Cosby's upset?
Henry Zebrowski
I don't.
Marcus Parks
I. I don't think he feels any.
Henry Zebrowski
I don't think he feels anything.
Marcus Parks
You know why?
Ben Kissel
You know why? I think people, like shitty people live longer. They don't worry as much as we do.
Marcus Parks
Oh, they feel nothing.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
That's the worry.
Ben Kissel
It's the stress. That's what gets us.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. It's all the. It's the weight of all the emotions and the tension that you feel and how that affects your body.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. Where it's like, if you don't have those feelings and you're just like. You know what I mean? Like.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. You live forever. Wow.
Henry Zebrowski
Huh.
Marcus Parks
I guess it's also how you be really successful in athletics or comedy as well.
Ben Kissel
It's just not feel anything.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. I think it's better that way. I think it's better.
Ben Kissel
It's possible.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
Because, you know, there was a lot of stuff that I didn't do it just for laughs. I feel like I could have done.
Ben Kissel
You know, but now that just for laughs is over, you'll never have that chance. And also, they also never invited us back after they made us perform in that conference room in, like, 2013.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Like 2pm Right.
Ben Kissel
We crushed 2017. 28.
Marcus Parks
2017.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. 2017.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
2Pm in a conference room. Yeah. We crushed it to the. Those, you know, 20 people, but no.
Marcus Parks
One wanted to suck our dicks. There was no. There was no big guy there. He was no Mr. X.
Ben Kissel
No.
Marcus Parks
That wasn't coming Sucking her dicks. That should have happened.
Ben Kissel
No, I got really sick.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, we were sick.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, I got really, really sick that trip. I spent most of the time in the hotel room.
Marcus Parks
We were really hungover.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. Yeah, I think that's. I would be. Yeah, I smoked cigarettes because I used to have a thing where I would smoke cigarettes when I left the country.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh.
Ben Kissel
But, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Just got you real sick.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, it just got me. I got so sick. I was, like, sick for a day and a night. Night, because I, like, smoked, like, three cigarettes.
Marcus Parks
It was awesome.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. That was the last time, I think. No, last time I smoked cigarettes was in England.
Henry Zebrowski
How was OJ Set at the festival?
Marcus Parks
Hilarious. That was actually what I was kind of mad is that my agent didn't come and she was at his show. I was just like. I didn't know. He had a full 25 minutes. And then he looks around the crowd. He's like, here's the killer. No, here's the killer. Like, honestly, it was a really funny bit, but you can't do that for an hour.
Henry Zebrowski
How do you guys feel about the theory that his son did it?
Marcus Parks
Don't think that that happened.
Ben Kissel
Don't think that happened.
Marcus Parks
Yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah.
Ben Kissel
Now that he was trying to cover for his son. That his son was the one that, like, was obsessed with Nicole.
Marcus Parks
No.
Ben Kissel
Yeah, that he.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, no, you know, he did.
Henry Zebrowski
Because his son, like, left the country the day after, right?
Marcus Parks
Yeah. I think it's because he was embarrassed because his father killed his mother.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah. Kind of get you out of town.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, I think so. I think that would make you want to go on a vacation.
Ben Kissel
No, I think it was his son from his first man, first marriage still.
Marcus Parks
Father's implicated in a murder. I'm gonna go to Europe. I'm gonna leave.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. But then he was. He was definitely there on the day of the Bronco chase, though. Yes, because he was. That he was at the house on the day of the Bronco chase.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, he did, but O.J. did it.
Ben Kissel
I found a weird thing that Sharon Stone just said.
Henry Zebrowski
What's that?
Ben Kissel
Like, a month ago, she said that on the day of the Bronco chase, the LAPD came and, like, squirreled her away in a safe house because they were afraid that OJ Simpson was coming again.
Marcus Parks
Her. Come get her. Why?
Ben Kissel
I don't know.
Henry Zebrowski
Because she was a hot blonde, I guess.
Marcus Parks
I get. Wow. Think about. Go collect all the hot blood. There was some cop somewhere. It was like, this is a great idea. Because then what we do is we get the comfort every one of these big titted blondes in Los Angeles. We get to comfort each like I want you to be. Come here. Be careful. OJ's out there. You're gonna have to come to my apartment where I keep my mistress because.
Henry Zebrowski
Every cop has one.
Ben Kissel
One.
Henry Zebrowski
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, they do. They do. They love them. They think it's great.
Marcus Parks
It's very bad. Honestly, I'm just glad my father didn't have a second family because he wasn't organized for one.
Henry Zebrowski
No, no, no, no. Certainly not. Yeah. I remember when I worked at the poor house and we had all those cops there all the time and we, we. They would have their own private parties in the back and stuff and they had the most disgusting private parties of anyone we allowed have private parties. Including the New York Giants.
Marcus Parks
Wow.
Ben Kissel
Didn't you have the Yankees there too?
Henry Zebrowski
No, the Yankees partially owned the place. A couple of them did. They all were investors, cuz they like to come and then they drank for free. They probably drank as much as they invested, I imagine. Yes, I remember. What? I remember hanging out with Jabba Chamberlain till six in the morning and then watching him blow the game the next day in the 8th and you're just like, oh, that was partially my fault.
Marcus Parks
I did, I shaped history. Hey man, that means you, that means you made it, dude. That means you made it, man. Yeah, man, but you know he's not going to make it.
Ben Kissel
It O.J. simpson.
Marcus Parks
Yeah. He's gonna be dead soon. And you know what'll be nice? We, we'll get to visit his grave. That's what I'm really looking forward to. Yeah. I'm like, does the knee dance? Yeah. You're like, oh, what else can you say about O.J. simpson? I think he's gonna make a shitty angel. Yeah, I do think, I guess he'll.
Ben Kissel
Be buried in Florida.
Henry Zebrowski
Right?
Ben Kissel
They won't bring him back here.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, he's lives in Vegas.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, I think he'd be buried in Vegas, in Florida for a little while.
Henry Zebrowski
He did. He's currently in Vegas.
Marcus Parks
His son lived in Florida. Oh, yes.
Ben Kissel
So now he's in Vegas and Casey Anthony hanging out in Florida.
Henry Zebrowski
Well, for a while. That's how he got away from Goldman for so long because he declared bankruptcy and then Florida was like kind of over. The Goldman family.
Marcus Parks
See, Florida is a great place for con people to live because they don't really care that the people they, the government doesn't particularly care about those types of rules and the police don't. So it's actually awesome if you're going to commit financial crimes. Florida is really where you want to be.
Ben Kissel
Or if you just want to be a general piece of shit. Like, like Florida's a. Okay.
Marcus Parks
I love, I still love it. I think it's got a heart that needs help.
Henry Zebrowski
Florida is one of my favorite places on earth. I don't think I'll ever live there again. But I, I, I wear it on my sleeve.
Ben Kissel
Oh, of course.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, yeah, it's great.
Marcus Parks
Like the police, they have to, they have to locate him. He has to keep his address available at all times.
Ben Kissel
Oh no. Texas is full of like absolutely horrible, horrible people and horrible places and terrible things happen there. But, but I'm always going to be from Texas. Yeah, that's just, it's just going to be the way it is. I've never. Am I ever going to fucking live there again? Absolutely fucking lutely not.
Henry Zebrowski
No.
Ben Kissel
No way in hell.
Marcus Parks
All I know is you have a.
Henry Zebrowski
Good time when you go back sometimes.
Ben Kissel
Maybe every once in a while.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, I'm sure it's fine. When I go back to New York City to be on Saturday Night Live as a new up and coming comedian the whole city is going to miss. He's going to welcome me back. Yeah, they can't wait to have me.
Ben Kissel
Back an up and coming 40 year.
Marcus Parks
Old comedian one time on there. No, I'm hoping 45 50. Once I really mat I could get on that show and everybody could see what I got.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, you're gonna get on as musical guest.
Ben Kissel
Watch.
Henry Zebrowski
This is my fart machine.
Marcus Parks
Whoa, cool. That's the thing when I'm in my 70s, maybe it'll be cool to have a fart machine then the new alphas will like that. The new zoomers for them.
Ben Kissel
I don't know. Maybe we should bring in a fart machine next episode. See if that spices things up a little bit.
Henry Zebrowski
Very Leslie Nielsen of us.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, very Leslie Nielsen of us. What did he say about O.J.
Henry Zebrowski
He was, said that he wished that, that O.J. on set was wonderful and he was a great, he was, he was a delight to be around. Great. And that the, it all looks very troubling. I saw an interview when he was promoting Spy Hard and the guy had the balls to ask him about O.J. which I really commend that interviewer Leslie Nielson about O.J. silver.
Marcus Parks
Simpson's murder rap while doing press for Spy Hard is incredible. And then he's just like, yeah.
Henry Zebrowski
He said that he wished O.J. would tell him what happened.
Ben Kissel
That's actually the best Possible.
Marcus Parks
You know, honestly, I just wish he'd fill me in.
Ben Kissel
Yeah.
Marcus Parks
Because it all sounds like quite the ruckus and I just wish Orenthal would call me and he just won't.
Ben Kissel
The surprising thing that I found today, I never looked at the dates Ed mentioned it. Naked gun 33 and a third. March 1994, the murders, June.
Marcus Parks
Bad rollout.
Henry Zebrowski
Yeah, yeah. It didn't do well.
Marcus Parks
No, no.
Ben Kissel
I mean catapulted Anna Nicole Smith to stardom.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, it did.
Henry Zebrowski
Yes, it did. It did very good for her.
Marcus Parks
I remember what it looked like. She had the wiener and now it is actually more of a transphobic moment. And that's what we're going to sit and really look at next time. Going to look at how comedy needs to be updated, doesn't it?
Henry Zebrowski
Remember when they panned up and they were showing her legs and then she had like two sets of knees. That was always a good one.
Marcus Parks
That was a very, very good bit.
Ben Kissel
Yeah. When she's distracting the Price Waterhouse guys. But doing the big.
Marcus Parks
Yeah, yeah.
Ben Kissel
Going with her tits and you know, that was really fun. Yeah, yeah. Cuz she.
