Show Notes Episode 410: “Everything’s Coming Up Kato!”

Part 2 of Wheezing the Juice

This week Host Dave Bledsoe wakes up in what he thought was the pool house of a D List celebrity with a brutal hangover and pair of shoes three sizes too big with some kind of red liquid on them only to realize he has passed out on a Wendy’s ketchup dispenser. (Again) This week we continue our Summer Series “Wheezing the Juice” (Again, we apologize for that name, it was NOT our idea) with the sensation that swept the nation in 1994, OJ Simpson!

We pick up with the infamous Bronco Chase that 95 MILLION Americans watch live and jump from that insanity to the even bigger madness that followed. From the initial feed frenzy in the news to the long trudge toward trial. (You think this show is long, you should have been around for the period between his arrest and the trial!) We check in with all the characters who would go on to take center stage, be they Howard Stern, racist Broadway dancers in judicial robes, Jay Leno’s terrible jokes, and of course white people in blackface. (It never gets old does it America?) Then we meet the players, from Al Cowlings, to Faye Resnick, to Johnny Cochrane and of course the only one who came out ahead in all of this: Brian Gerard Kaelin! (You know him better as Kato!) So grab you OJ Pogs, and get ready to get disgusted as we talk about OJ Mania!

Our Sponsor this week is Roomies, finding roommates for people who no one would ever want to live with. We open with new reports from the night of OJ’s Last Run and close with the glorious Ethel Merman!
