Hello and welcome. It's our number three rocket and rolling

container of OJ. That's right, even though he's dead, we're
still talking about him. What did you make of the
OJ Simpson media coverage after his death? And put it into

(00:21):
the context the impact of the OJ Simpson story on
sports fandom in general? And will OJ Simpson's estate be
able to fight paying the wrongful death money out to
the Brown and Goldman families. Will talk about all that
and more. It's the Hour of Oj right now here.
It is our number three. Well, it turns out the

(00:43):
juice has now been canned. Well come in the beginning
of another hour of the Ben Mathers Show.

We are in the air everywhere.

Hour of OJ has arrived better late than ever. And
while we were away from our catbird seed overlooking the
serengetti of Sport Ortenthall, James Simpson, better known as OJ

(02:04):
to the world, he exited this mortal coil, something that
we will all do at one point or another. He
died from cancer at the age of seventy six. The
announcement came down near the end of last week, and
we have seen a constant stream of OJ stories that
have continued. I just clicked refreshed and there's several other

(02:26):
stories that popped up here on my phone.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
So there's a lot to discuss. The story doesn't just
go away just a day later.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
So let us discuss the question what did you make
of the media coverage which continued all weekend long from
OJ Simpson.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
After his death at the end of last week.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
So I have Sparta, Waterloo and Hide and Seek, and
we will combine all of these things together and we
are going to make a station identification, which is what
I see at the bottom of the screen on the
TV there I'm looking at, which is in front of me.
But we're doing radio. So cious about that now. First
of all, the way I would describe most of the

(03:11):
media coverage was light and fluffy. Light and fluffy is
the way I would describe it. Because most of the
old media, the mainstream media, have tiptoed around the heel
of monster in the room. Can't do it, can't go
there right. Many of the old media people have put

(03:31):
on their knee pads when talking about this. There was
a story from NPR, Who the Hell's listening to? That
They posted a story saying that the football great orenthal,
James Simpsons, known as OJ, has died. There was no
mention of the fact that he chopped two people's heads off.
He left that out.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
The New York Times there was an outcry.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
They wrote that OJ Simpson had his world ruined by
being charged with double murder. That was in the oh bit.
How do you think the people he killed felt about that?
So of course they left on the cutting room floor
the fact that Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown were turned
into human pez dispensers.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
But don't let that get in the way of a
good story. So why did this happen? All right? Why
did we get this kind of media cover?

Speaker 1 (04:15):
They need to take shots of the media, it's easy
to do, but many are following the teachings of Sparta,
not the guy that works here, but one of the
seven Sages of Greece.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
And I actually looked this back at because this has
bothered me.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
Not just OJ, but other people that have been real
dirt bags have died and you don't really hear about
it when they drop dead. You don't hear about it
when they dropped dead. So this goes back to the
sixth century BC. Old Sparta will call them is credited
with the Latin phrase, which translated means of the dead,
nothing but good is to be said. We've all heard

(04:49):
that phrase, right, How do you become an angel?

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Drop dead? People will only say good things about you?

Speaker 1 (04:55):
And in layman's terms, it's rather obvious what it means,
but I'll spell it out if you're a little tired
and not paying attention. It means that it is socially
inappropriate for the living to speak ill of the dead.
Who cannot then defend or justify themselves, kind of like
what I was raised, like, it's a good mitzvoot to
go to a funeral because they cannot repay you because

(05:17):
they're dead. So I've gotten to way too many funerals
over the years. But in terms of OJ, I think
that old Sparta would approve if you had the hot,
tough time machine and went back, Old Sparta would be
okay with that.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Right, I say fooey to that.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
There is no way to tell the OJ life without
mentioning the murders in the early nineties, and then in
nineteen ninety seven, the civil jury found OJ libel for
wrongful death in the double murder. Now, secondly, can you
put into context the impact of the OJ Simpsons story

(05:54):
on sports fandom. So it was a wild time, and
it's been so long that a lot of people that
have come of age in recent years and become grown
ups and entered the world that they were like little kids.
They don't really watch it and all that. And it
was that long ago when it happened. I was in school.
I was driving to the college radio station the day

(06:15):
that the chase was going on, and it actually started
in Orange County. OJ was a lot of people don't
know this part of the story, but they were trying
to find him any where he was. He had gone
to the cemetery. There was a memorial service for Nicole
Brown at that cemetery in Orange County and OJ was
there and I guess he got cut off. And then

(06:35):
there was the highway patrol started a chase, which became
one of the defining moments for many people in their experience.
But it was obviously it was a game changer, but
it was a different time, right.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
We lived in a time.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Before social media, before streaming, and we all got the
news from legacy news media.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
And there were the main show.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
There was cable television and stuff like that, but it
was you're watching television or that was it. You were
getting stuff off the radio, Thank god for that. But
OJ at the time was still the Golden Boy. He
was a network broadcaster for NBC. He's a sideline reporter,
had worked a playoff game shortly before that, an Oilers game,

(07:17):
and a beloved pitch man had that going for him, right,
and all that and then poof lickety split, it all
went away. But depending on your age, OJ Simpson's rampage,
the police chase, the trial. All of those are in
the same basket for Waterloo moments. Now I was starting,

(07:38):
I was doing college radio, I was interning.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
I got a job as a radio reporter around that time.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
And my friend Norm Peters he's now retired, LI was
in Florida. Norm had a seat in the OJ Simpson Courthouse.
My friend Norm was in there every day and he'd
go out and cover the trial, and then he would
come out to Dodger Stadium. I was covering the team
at the time. He would tell me what was going on.
They give me inside stuff on Judge Eto and the

(08:03):
OJ trial. That's I was getting, like good stuff. I
was getting good information because you're in the courtroom, like
stuff that didn't show up on camera. But the coverage
was so over the top that the knicker box the
New York Knicks. This how long ago was they were
in the finals with Pat track Gill. I believe they
played the Rockets, if I remember correctly, in the NBA Finals,
and they put that on box and box they had

(08:24):
a small box of the NBA Finals and they put
the OJ chase on there. But that trial, when the
trial happened, a couple years later in it was like
a year later I think the trial was. And that
trial had one hundred and fifty million people watching, more
than half of the population of the United States, fifty

(08:44):
seven percent of the population.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
You can't get ten percent.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
Of the population to watch anything other than the Super
Bowl these days. But OJ got away with it at
the time, right, we know he got away with it,
We know what happened, only to go to jail for
all of all stupid. Every time I'm in Vegas, I
drive by the hotel where OJ went in to steal
a sports memorabilia, and I always point, I say, oh, that's.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Why, that's what happened. That's where ojay, That's where he
went to jail for ten years or whatever.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
It was a stealing sports memor of Billia, Like what
is that like? Palace Station? I believe was the hotel
I remember ember correctly, But whacky any All right, final thoughts?
So now that OJ is dead dead dead dead dead,
what happens to the money? So there have been some

(09:30):
new developments in this over the weekend you might have missed.
Twenty seven years ago, as we mentioned, OJ Simpson was
ordered to pay thirty three and a half million dollars
in damages to the Brown and Goldman families for wrongful
death murder, which is wrong. So will OJ Simpson and

(09:52):
the estate of OJ Simpson will it be able to
fight paying the wrongful death settlement money out now that
OJ's checked out? So I guess the way I would
answer that does a cow have utters? The effort is
being made, but the effort to block the money being
paid is also being made. OJ Simpson his longtime lawyer,

(10:13):
this guy Malcolm Laverne. Have you seen this guy? Typical
central casting kind of sleezeball lawyer.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
That's what he looks like. To me, it's my opinion.
You can't sue for an opinion. It kind of looks
like that the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
So this guy, Malcolm Laverne, did a couple of interviews
and he is digging into the foxhole. At least that's
his public position here. He said that he will will
be fighting to prevent the families from getting any of
the money. And OJ doesn't have thirty three and a
half million, but he's got from when I heard over
the weekend, he's got millions of dollars that he squirreled

(10:48):
away in different places because of the pension, and there
were some rich guys that still loved OJ.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
And gave him things and took care of OJ.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
From what from what I understand anyway, the attorney, this
guy Laverne, he said, listen. He said it was like
I think the term he used was like a Hollywood
judgment or something like or celebrity judgment.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
But we're not experts, but we do know.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
We do hang out on the radio, so we have
the power of the microphone here and we're not experts
in a state law. But I unfortunately had a lot
of people in my life that have died over the years,
so I know a little bit about it based on
that and.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
How it works.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
There are tricks that you can use. It's a high
stakes game of hide and seek. And OJ knew if
you believe the tabloids, and they were right. OJ denied it,
but the tabloids are right. He knew he had a
death sentence back in January, so he had several months
to get his affairs in order. And it's more probable

(11:49):
than not that OJ took steps through his attorney to
make sure the money was transferred to other parties. So
it will look if my assumption is right, it'll look
like oj had nothing because anything that he had in
the days before he met his demise was passed on

(12:09):
to other people and transferred and all that. So it's
a shell game. It's like game of hide and seek.
We'll see if he was successful in his death. It
is the Ben Mahllor Show. If you would like to
comment on any of that. If you're in a state attorney,
feel free to give us a buzz. Speakeasy rules are
in effect, but some people on hold. We'll get to

(12:29):
those calls coming up in a couple of minutes time.

an answer and I need an answer?

Speaker 7 (16:59):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (16:59):
Yes, the answer there is delicious raspberry jelly.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Very random of you that is incorrected. The correct answer.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Major League Baseball selling a Mike Trout sign ball with
blank inside it the answer.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
We were looking for.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
A recording device where Mike Trout will record a personalized
ten second message or six hundred and fifty dollars.

Speaker 5 (17:23):
Are you still doing that?

Speaker 2 (17:24):
By the way, Uh, yeah, I don't. I'm on cameo,
but I don't promote it.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
But yeah, everyone, Once in a while, somebody will send
me a message and hey, I did one a couple
weeks ago for a guy. His friends didn't like the show,
so he wanted me to convince his friends to listen
to the show. But six hundred and fifty bucks, how
much of that do you think Trout gets? What cut
of that do you think Mike Trout gets? You think
he gets half of it? Half goes to the Iacebay
at least at least half right. So he gets three

(17:50):
hundred and twenty five dollars to record a ten second thing,
which according to the I saw a picture of this thing,
you can record over it. You imagine spending six hundred
and fifty bucks to have my trout say ten seconds
to you and then you record over it. That seems
like a problem. So name the team here real quick, Eddie.
So over the weekend you I know you probably talked
about this while was away. The Salt Lake City gained

(18:11):
an NHL team. The team that played in Arizona is leaving.
They're going to Salt Lake. But I was reading about this.
They're going to keep the iconic Coyotes name. I didn't
know that was an iconic name. I had no idea
that Coyote name was iconic, Eddie. Did you realize it
was iconic? I did not realize it was iconic.

Speaker 5 (18:30):
I mean it's iconic for them, I guess. But the
deal is if the owner, yeah, former owner, I guess,
about to be of the Coyotes, if they get the
arena built that they're trying to. They're having an auction
for the land. Heer coming up soon. If they build
the arena, the NHL is going to have an excuse
to expand and they will give them an expansion team
and they'll be the Coyotes again.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
All the leagues like to be in Phoenixes. It's a
great place to whold events. Everyone likes to travel there.
The weather is usually pretty good. They love to go
and have their signature events in Arizona. So anyway, they're
they're taking them, which is kind of The Coyotes are
in Utah.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
They you know they have coyotes in Utah. Did you
know that?

Speaker 5 (19:05):
I did not know.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
They are all over the West.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Anyway, so they're gonna have a new name. What would
be a perfect name for the new team in Salt Lake?
They have to have Utah, remember they had that rule.
Any professional team has to have Utah in the name.
But when I think as a total and we're on
in Salt Lakes. So maybe somebody can help us that.
Have you been to Salt Lake? Have you been to Okay?
So I know the great Salt Lake? How about the

(19:31):
Utah Salt Lakes?

Speaker 2 (19:32):
How about that?

Speaker 5 (19:33):
I think that sucks.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
That sucks. That's a bad name. How about the Mormons?
The Utah Mormons. I think about like a salt lake
for a horse, salt lick. Yeah, so like what if
you give them like the horse or something. Broncos?

Speaker 1 (19:45):
How do you park at that? Broncos are already there.
There's a football team called the Broncos. How about the Zions,
the Utah Zions, the National Park Zion National Park.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
Now they are the it is the be Hive States.
So you could go bees?

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Is that what a bet sounds like?

Speaker 6 (20:05):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, Beyonce might not like that.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
No, what's her problem with bees?

Speaker 2 (20:09):
She's the hive, you know, she's got the bee hive.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yeah, there's gotta be something else other than Mormons and
salt lake and national parks that Utah is known for.
I don't know, Coop anything, you got anything, Coop?

Speaker 2 (20:21):
I mean, I think of skiing because they're like world
class snow.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
Colorado has the Avalanche.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
So what about the Yetties. M Oh yeah, that's kind
of fun. That would be cool, Yeah, the yetties. Yeah,
what's the famous food dish and does kind of flow?

Speaker 5 (20:37):
Utah Yetties?

Speaker 2 (20:38):
I love it? According to this, how about this?

Speaker 1 (20:41):
The Internet says Eddie that fry sauce was created in
Utah in the nineteen forty How.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
About that sauce?

Speaker 5 (20:48):
What is fry sauce is happening?

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Like goop says it was made with ketchup or chili
sauce and woosdire sauce. I mean, there's a bunch of
ran to be blended together. But it was apparently in
Utah they created No, he is that nobody fry sauce?
I've never heard of it, you guys dismissing. I mean
a nice fry sauce might be good? About the sun

(21:12):
Dancers and the Sundass Film Festival in Utah?

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Is that right?

Speaker 5 (21:15):
Cool? Now? Colorado?

Speaker 2 (21:16):
I thought it was in Utah. I thought it was
in Park City. Now there's a resort, the resort right,
there's a resort there in Utah.

Speaker 5 (21:24):
The states animal of Utah is the elk. There is
the Edmondston elk, So they would wouldn't be.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
How about this Eddie no hold on a sauce?

Speaker 5 (21:36):
I was I thought of something, but no, this is
just the state bird of Utah is the California Gulfo.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
I've got to know.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
That seems like a mistake.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
Now, don't they have strict alcohol laws that a lot
of the NBA players would complain about.

Speaker 5 (21:54):
There is some stupid stuff on here.

Speaker 2 (21:56):
My god, how about the blue laws, the Utah Blue Laws?
Would that be good? Yeah? Nobody liked that? All right?
What else is there?

Speaker 5 (22:03):
The official dance? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:05):
What is the dances?

Speaker 5 (22:07):
Square? Dance?

Speaker 2 (22:07):
The square?

That would be perfect square?

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Great, that would be so good. Embrace who you are.
The squares of Utah.

Speaker 5 (22:17):
I like the official gem is the Topaz.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
Do you know gambling is illegal in Utah?

Speaker 5 (22:23):
I didn't know that, but that does not surprise.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
One of only two states, the other being Hawaii according
to what I'm reading here. So how about the bengos,
the Utah bingos mocking the fact that you can't gamble
on that?

Speaker 2 (22:33):
I guess you can gamble the churches. Maybe it's also
illegal in Japan? Yeah? Is that right? Well, somebody tells
show about that.

Speaker 5 (22:40):
God, the list of this stuff is just ridiculous. The
official state vegetable, I mean, what the vegetable? What they
the Spanish sweet onion?

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Oh the sweet onions? No, I was gonna guess corn corn.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Yeah, gotta move further the Midwest, further Midwest. Yeah, all right,
well that's it. Well, I guess we failed we have
failed to come up with a name.

Speaker 5 (23:03):
Well, the official state reptile is the HeLa Monster.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Oh, that would be good.

Speaker 5 (23:08):
However, the Vegas Golden Knights mascot is a Heela Monster.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Called that they'd have to change their mascot.

Speaker 5 (23:14):
Well he was there first though.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Did you see the big mascot scandal in hockey over
the weekend, Eddie, No, please tell Victor E. Rat went viral. Yeah,
that's the that's the Florida Panthers mascot.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Victory. Well, he was grinding on.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
There was a young lady torking in the crowd and
it was not family friendly, Eddie. She was shaking her
money maker and he was shaking it back. He was
going for It's like he was in the back room
at the champagne room.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
There, Victor E. Rat. And who has a rat as
a mask?

Speaker 5 (23:47):
Well, they have, I mean they have Stanley C. Panther

Speaker 2 (23:51):
This is a ripoff mask. Is a fake mask.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
You remember back in the day they throw they throw
the plastic rats on the ice. Yes, yes, there lot
because it took twenty minutes to clean off. So apparently
this is a secondary mass.

Speaker 2 (24:05):
Oh my god, two mascots for the Florida Panthers. But
Victor E.

Speaker 7 (24:10):
Rat.

Speaker 2 (24:12):
Now here's the funny thing. I know, because I'm a
big historian. The mascot. You don't know man or woman
in the mascot.

Speaker 5 (24:18):
Costume that is accurate.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Sometimes it looks like a male mascot. But there's a
lady in there who's a good dancer that's in there,
so who knows, But she whoever was Victor E. Rat
was enjoying a nice dance with the lady there in
the craft and did look a little taboo. Luckily it
did not happen in Utah.

Speaker 5 (24:37):
They have a lot of interesting things going on there
in Florida at their hockey games, right, remember they had
that was Kodak black.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
Oh yeah, he was whoopee with one of the ladies.

Speaker 5 (24:47):
Yeah, and then they had the put him on the
glass lady.

Speaker 7 (24:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Well, my friend Marlin's man who again, he texted me.
I was at the wedding. I was in northern California
and he texted me. He said, hey, I'm made in
town for the Dodgers and bod Raise. I said, good
for you. I will not be in town for the
Dodgers and Podres. But he loves those Florida Panthers games.
He says, it's a great thing.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
And I've I've heerd from.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
Other people that live in that area that the they
love going to the Panther Who knew it?

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Who knew?

Speaker 5 (25:13):
I know? Beautiful Sunrise, Florida.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Yes, not Miami proper, the well is it north of Miami?
Is that where it is? I think so?

Speaker 4 (25:21):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
Back to that Dodger game. I'm sure you saw this, Ben,
but Doyers Dodgers pitchers issued sixteen walks back in nineteen
sixty two. That was the best they had and in
a game, and then they had fourteen on Sunday. It's
the padres Well.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
James Paxson had eight walks up. I think he did
more than that. I had eight walks at one point
in the game. I think that's what he had. So
he was the starting pitcher. Yeah, they say nobody walks
in LA unless you're a pitcher for the Dodgers, and
then everyone walks. The Dodgers are in this weird situation

(26:05):
where they have these guys in the starting rotation who
are temporary starters. James Faxon will likely get hurt by July.
But the Dodgers look at Kershaw backs so he can
beat the Padres every game and then losing the playoffs,
and they're gonna get watching Walker. Breuler is supposed to
be back here soon, so they're gonna get some guys back.
But they're the pitchers they have now that are starting.

(26:26):
A lot of them are just filler. They're like spam,
and they're not seat holders, not clicking particularly well. It
is the Ben Mallor Show as we roll on through
these overnight hours starting the new week here kicking off

Martin Rice is a gas bag too.

Speaker 7 (28:16):
I heard him the other day time. But she doesn't
like Lebron James. Why in the hell should Lebron James
give a damn ball who likes him. He's worth a
billman damn dollars. Okay, he went from almost having not
much of anything going up and using basketball and now
he's worth bill dollars.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Okay, why aren't the hell you can?

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Well, I'm sure Lebron is very upset that Martin Weiss
does not like him. I have Lebron's probably up right now.
He can't sleep Jerome, because.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Yeah, your sarcasm is not lost on me. Okay, ill,
I know you can. It's just kind of like I
kind of appreciate tardcasts. But I want to tell you
I saw him yesterday.

Speaker 7 (29:06):
Lebron James. Look fan Pastice.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
Yes, it's still any covering of duck or false speed something.
You know, he's forty years old something that.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
All right, you want to get a room with him?
What do you want to do? You want to get
a room with him?

Speaker 7 (29:26):
Don't don't get smart bade.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
Okay, all right, where's the fun.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Let me give you some Let me give you some
of Lebron propaganda. You want some Lebron propaganda? This is
red meat and the Lions.

Speaker 2 (29:35):
Then you ready? All right?

Speaker 1 (29:36):
So Lebron James finished the regular season shooting forty one
point three percent from Downtown three point line.

Speaker 2 (29:43):
That means he.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Had a higher efficiency rating than Steph Curry this season.

Speaker 3 (29:49):
Yeah yeah, and twelve couple doubles. How do you like that?

Speaker 7 (29:55):
Now?

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Do you think, Jerome, do you think this is all natural?
You think this is all natural for Lebron? There's nothing
funny going on at all, nothing at all.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Hey, you need to couldn't listen to Kevin man or that.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
There's no chance.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
There's no chance that Lebron is doing anything that is taboo.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Everything's coosher cat Where to prove it? Verry Bonds? The
Bonds never failed the drug test you, Oh yeah, he didn't.
He never failed the drug test.

Speaker 3 (30:29):
Well, but also.

Speaker 7 (30:32):
Bad man under the tons of the buff to prison.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
For that was his interpreter. That was Barry Bun's interpreter
that went to jail.

Speaker 7 (30:42):
Money.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
Hey, how they know somebody can steal a goot amount
of money?

Speaker 2 (30:47):
I know, I was thinking.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
I was thinking to your drum, you were so obsessed
with money, right you are? So you count every penny.
You're you should be on penny versus a penny, because
you count every penny, Jerome, and I respect that.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Right, you're going to fixed income. You got to count
your money. I understand that I'm upsetted.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
With money because I don't have it. Hell, what can I.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
I don't like spending money either, man, I don't. I
don't like spending the money. I hate it.

Speaker 7 (31:13):
By the way, I saw my other favorite person, Bob
coftas you know Bob Coffer, seven years ago and it
has stuck with me forever.

Speaker 3 (31:20):
He said, with our sports, life.

Speaker 7 (31:22):
Will still be worth living, but it wouldn't be so
much fun, you know. And I have agreed with that
ever since.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
I heard him say that. The other thing is like O. J.

Speaker 7 (31:30):
Simpsons. I was a big family of his growing up.
In fact to day he broke the two thousand yard
Russian records against the Jets. I was sitting in front
of my little black and white television we had back
then because we didn't afford much back then, you though,
and my mom raised me by myself and everything. But
I was a fam of his.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
I've been following UFC Farmer Man fight Off for all,
see the Wild Bunch, all that, the money line, all
them guys, man, I remember all that. I used to
watch them.
