  Welcome back to the Twin History Podcast.

  Well before the murders happened, he was an American
• 0:05
  football legend. So you're saying welcome back,
• 0:07
  and that's presuming that we still have listeners after the
• 0:10
  first episodes? We won't pretend to know
• 0:12
  anything about American football or we had any listeners to begin
• 0:16
  with. He was a movie star.
• 0:18
  It's just like talking in an echo chamber.
• 0:20
  It definitely is. We have to remember OJ started
• 0:23
  his football career in the 60s. So even though we're out of
• 0:27
  segregation, there's still huge tensions in America between
• 0:32
  blacks and whites. And OJ crossed that line and
• 0:36
  became a star with white America.
• 0:38
  She. Went over to O JS Grief in
• 0:41
  Arlington. I remember one of the OJ jurors
• 0:43
  said that she didn't have respect for Nicole because she
• 0:47
  stayed there and what was her words like?
• 0:50
  She's got her ass worked. Which is just an absolutely
• 0:53
  despicable comment. And, well, he wasn't dead yet.
• 0:56
  And I'm sure when he died last year, no one was petitioning to
• 1:00
  put OJ in Arlington Cemetery. But they found that glove soaked
• 1:04
  in blood. And OJ comes spelling out, like
• 1:07
  in a movie or something. You open the door and.
• 1:10
  He falls. Onto the concrete and firm is
• 1:13
  like, Oh no, it's OJ and Robert Shapiro who was already
• 1:17
  involved, F Lee Bailey who was like a famous lawyer from the
• 1:21
  70s. Well, not from the 70s.
• 1:23
  F Lee Bailey defended Sam Shepard.
• 1:25
  Who? Was the basis of the fugitive?
• 1:28
  Oh, but I I don't know that the lead lawyer in the case was
• 1:31
  Johnny Cochran, who was a famous black lawyer.
• 1:34
  Maybe he sat on that side of the table the year before he
• 1:38
  defended Michael Jackson. Another innocent black man
• 1:41
  railroaded by the LAPD. He'd flown to Chicago to do
• 1:45
  something for Hertz. Where's he going to go?
• 1:48
  Tom did it hurts have this man under contract.
• 1:50
  They could have like run him off the road.
• 1:52
  They could have what is caught up.
• 1:54
  I mean, yeah, you don't want them to light the car up.
• 1:56
  This guy, by this point, is the most infamous guy on the planet.
