(00:45):
this. Oh my, I meanthat is a that is from his verified
account. This tweet was submitted eightminutes ago. Is the comments are disabled
on this? It's been already retweetHe did three and a three point six
thousand times. It has three thousandlikes. But from the official O J.
(01:07):
Simpson account. This could be ahack. It could be something that
was posted by a member of hisfamily. But it says on April tenth,
yesterday, I mean, okay,I don't know how to qualify this
anymore up ten minutes ago. Sotweet it out nine minutes ago on OJ
Simpson's verified account on April tenth,our father, Orienthal James Simpson succumbed to
(01:34):
his battle with cancer. He wassurrounded by his children and grandchildren during this
time of transition. His family asksthat you please respect their wishes for privacy
and grace, the Simpson family.I am seeing nowhere else. Well,
there are people reporting it officially.There are people going with it from the
tweet thread. I mean football sites, nothing huge, five minutes did it?
(01:59):
Yeah, they did it. OJSimpson, according to TMZ Breaking News.
According to TMZ, OJ Simpson isdead at seventy six. OJ Simpson
is dead. Wow. They sayhe was surrounded by children and grandchildren when
(02:23):
he died Wednesday night. They wow. I'm among the many tens of thousands
that got the news that Michael Jacksonwas dead at fifty from Danny bayliss Okay.
OJ had reportedly been battling prostate cancerin recent years. His health took
a turn for the worse of late, with him landing in hospice care within
(02:46):
the past few months. Damn theI wonder what his okay, Let's go
back to his Twitter feed. Whatis his most recent tweet? And this
isn't pinned or anything. This okay? So February ninth. It just simply
shows Okay, it's a video ofhis and he's sitting in a car talking
to the camera. I don't havethe audio of it up, but it
(03:07):
just says hospice with three question marks. And then on February eleventh, another
tweet of his I'm from the Bayand I'm going with Bay Let's go forty
nine ers. He has not heardfrom until two exactly two months later.
(03:27):
It's April eleventh, and it ishis family that apparently posted on his Twitter
account. They should have made theannouncement, Hey Twitter world, that is
what his bio does say, HeyTwitter World, it's yours truly. Their
official announcement tweet should have been that, well that's a tricky one, huh,
(03:52):
and you rest in peace. Butalso, like wish I could say
I felt bad about that. Noman, I'm saying, like the ultimate
get away with it, we think, I mean, it is weird.
Followed the justice system, and thejustice system said that he was innocent,
yep, and then he gets tojail for No. I didn't say he
(04:14):
was innocent, it said he wasnot. He was not guilty. Big
difference. So Jesus OJ actually didtouch on a cancer diagnosis in twenty twenty
three in a video that he postedon Twitter, when he said he had
quote unquote caught some form of cancerbut suggested he'd beaten it in any case,
(04:35):
it came back and claimed his lifeabout a year later. Cancer.
Yeah, get checked, men.Oh you don't want to be in a
two bedroom apartment with oj. Ojhad been looking frails soon in the lead
up to his passing, including duringan outing in January where he was spotted
(04:56):
using a cane. Well he's seventysix and he played high level football for
a long time. Yeah. Okay, well we get to the big question.
Now, what's your question for Oji? No? What were his final
words? Did he say anything?Okay? Did he say it? What
(05:18):
if he what if his last wordswere? What if I did it?
His book title? It'd be weird? It was al But don't you always
think deathbed confession? There's always achance of that, And him more than
anyone, he's definitely had it broughtup to him or it's crossed his mind
(05:38):
if surrounded by grand children, grandchildrenruined it like you could. Yeah,
the grandchildren say it to your kidsat that age too. But maybe it
had either a family lawyer or afamily friend, maybe a c was in
there. Are we so certain stillthirty years later did he did it?
(05:59):
We're why are we staying? Andthis is with talk about it, documentaries,
TV shows made about it, sowe kind of still feel the same
way we did. I mean,I was seven when this all went down,
so I don't you know, onehundred percent guilty because there's no other
person around, right, no couldbe suspect. I mean, And the
whole trial was just about the policeyeah, set up. It wasn't about
(06:21):
how hennison he was. Yeah,And it was the dream team of lawyers
against these public defenders who are justweighing over their head with all this credit,
Like, wait, what are youarguing? That's not even what we're
talking about. This was so muchbigger than the him being found not guilty
(06:42):
was so much at the time,was so much bigger than just that case
because at the time you got tothink about this, this was on the
heels of the Rodney King, right, Yeah, when all of those cops
were captured on video just beating theliving daylights out of that defenseless man on
the ground and they were all acquitted. Nobody did any jail time and all
(07:05):
the riots that happened. There wasa lot of pressure on the judicial system
at that point in Los Angeles thatif you had to come back with,
especially when you consider that there wereflaws in the police investigation, not enough
to negate the amount of evidence,but enough doubt to be thrown in there,
(07:28):
that had he been found guilty andsentenced to whatever life in prison or
twenty five to life or whatever theywould have done, there was so much
concern and fear that you were goingto have a repeat of all of that
anger and all of that pent upfrustration for not getting a win with the
Rodney King trial, that that wasgoing to resurface. And I know plenty
(07:53):
of I will say this, thereare a lot of people from the community
that will claim, yeah, wehe was guilty, but we needed a
win right because he It was ironic, because there was nobody less black when
it comes to being connected to beingwhat it means to be a real to
(08:16):
live the true African American experience morethan oj so yes or it was a
win. It was a win fora community that had been overlooked and been
beaten by police unjustly. And thenwhen they finally feel like this has been
going on in our lives, ourentire lives. Somebody finally got it on
(08:39):
video, and you mfor still can'tdo anything about it, won't do anything
about it. You find OJ guilty. Yeah, there was a lot of
pressure, So you guys think thisis a bad time for Fish to announce
that they're dropping a new album.Same moment, all right, Terresa,
said Simpson's official account April tenth.Our father, Oriental James Simpsons succumbers battle
(09:00):
with cancer, surrounded by children again, grandchildren apparently happened Las Vegas. TMZ
does confirmed this that O J.Simpson is dead at seventy six. It
says O J. Simpson, oneof the most infamous, high profile Americans
of all time, which you cannotargue with. Dead with a cancer battle.
I think it happened in Las Vegas, according to his family, again
(09:22):
surrounded with family. He had beenbattling prostate cancer in recent years. His
health took a turn for the worstof late. He was in hospice the
last few months. There was apicture of him looking really old and beat
up with a with a cane,and you know he was. Once he
got on Twitter, he was veryactive, I mean, posting what seemed
like daily, if not weekly.His Twitter went radio silent exactly two months
(09:46):
ago. Not one word heard fromhim since February eleventh. Hospice. His
family says, according to his Twitteraccount, that hospice was there. He
had gone into hospice over the lastcouple of months. His health had declined
really very rapidly. And this isthe first tweet that has come from OJ's
account in exactly two months, andit's from his family announcing that he has
(10:09):
passed on prostate cancer. He ifyou were this is an impossible exercise to
do, but if you were tolist the most one hundred famous people of
the nineteen hundreds, he would beon that list. I think he would.
It was a trial of the century. He would and that's not being
at all. And he could havemade that list if none of that happened.
(10:31):
Trajectory wise, I mean, he'sa Heisman winner, NFL legend who
had broken into acting. He wasloved, beloved by every public, accepted
by white culture, which for whateverreason, he mattered in the seventies and
eighties getting into being a movie star. Good looking dude, if he had
the face hurts, commercials, allthis stuff. So if none of that
(10:54):
happened, we don't know what histrajectory would have been. Well, there
was all this stuff that obviously ledup to him doing what he did to
Nicole and Ron that the public,probably the large public, didn't know about,
all of the calls to police abouther getting the crap beat out of
her right on the regular terrible person. Yeah, not a good dude.
(11:16):
But you know, had he notkilled them, yeah, I think that
the public would have probably even overlookedthat stuff. I mean a large amount
of the public overlooked the fact thathe'd beheaded to people. I was thinking
the same thing that a couple oftextras said, are we gonna and it's
a bits, it's bits, butwill we have a white Bronco funeral procession?
(11:39):
Oh my god, we have to, I mean, fuss so ridiculous
they drive through Los Angeles amazing.Okay, So OJ did allow comments on
his Twitter account this one, thistweet comments have been disabled for the death
announcement from his family. No,it's this is real And I knew he
was doing bad from a few monthsago. Like what you said, I
(12:03):
would now have a bit of anafternoon planned of watching The Masters and then
slaving over a hot stove of NormMcDonald o. J. Simpson jokes that
I might bring to the air tomorrowto evolve the topic, and we need
nord Berg quotes from The Naked Gun, which he was funny. That makes
uh Textra says good, it's agood point. Without OJ doing what he
(12:24):
did, we would not have theKardashians. Yep, there was no doubt.
True, it would not be peoplethat we know. Nobody would know
the name of Robert kardash wind inthe sales to his family. So you're
saying his contribution to the earth wasnegative, generally negative. But then if
(12:45):
OJ Simpson had not had this,then we wouldn't have this. Matty popped
me up. Please for a minute, believe in New Jersey. Kevin,
what's your question for OJ? Kevin, what's your question for OJ? Hi?
Good show you. My kid Chriswas wondering, do you think it
(13:05):

(13:54):
your helmet, that that was whatHey, how are you doing that?
Hey? Okay? You know hada question for you know, with everything
that that Michael Vick has been goingthrough being indicted, I was just wondering
if you wanted to meet me onthe Jersey Shore to do let's do we
have oj Let's do live call?What a brilliant idea? Who would agree
(14:18):
to do it? Off? Nobody? That's why you do it? And
it the producers like, I can'tbelieve he said. Okay, he said,
okay, he might kill me forit, but I'm sorry, I
can't hear you are so good.Let's not neglect all our talkbackers, right,
yes, men and skinn are comingin shortly and this is clearly big
(14:39):

and the other shows will have alittle time to prep and we'll have some
audio and whatever we want to dotomorrow on the topic. But we have
talk back. So I don't knowif you guys are just playing radio or
not, but you do know thatacross the league, Luca is not a
likable dude. All the crying,the texts, the the trash talking,
(15:05):
he is not at all. Okay, maybe to voters. I will say
to peers that he is they respectthe dog out of him. Well,
the players, players, vos,fans in the league at large league fans.
Did Allen Iverson ever win an MVP? I wonder I thought he did,
(15:26):
But I don't know, because anotherguy, he would be perceived by
the masses and people, not DallasMaverick fans, as somebody that might have
rubbed people the wrong way, muchlike a I did. Well, who
votes for the award writers? Idon't know. Yeah, who votes for
for NBA MVP? A panel ofeleven media members eleven, yeah, eleven
(15:50):
after the conclusion of the finals.No, oh, that's NBA Finals.
That's NBA finals. Okay, An B A it's a vote, okay,
Jesus, they all work for theDenver Post. That sounds like it.
God, okay, panels, sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States
(16:10):
and America. A ten points yourfirst place. I'll say Luca's not nearly
maligned enough like that guy said tocost him an MVP. No, you
know not. I think if it'smedia members and broadcasters, they're all in
pretty much awe of him. Theyare. Yeah, can we exchange kt
out for maybe a nice five iron? I think things would be better.

a bit, it's funny, ifnot the great game, if not the
