It's impossible to talk about the trial of OJ Simpson without talking about Norm Macdonald. Did you know that Norm was kicked off of Saturday Night Live for making disparaging remarks about OJ Simpson? SNL said it was because Norm wasn't funny. But is that really the way of it?

Football legend and movie start OJ Simpson has a brief stint with the law. It was a turbulent time in America's history. It seemed like there was a brief 50 year period where the LAPD couldn't do anything right. Is he guilty? What do you think?

My favorite true-crime YouTube channel was cancelled and then emasculated by YouTube. Why? Because they can. Probably also to make money. And possibly because the right group of people complained. But mostly because they could. What can be done in a world where multi-billion dollar companies secretly decide what topics are just too sensitive to be discussed? What can we do when nothing can be done?

The governor and the Illustrious DJ Smash, aka Ashley Valenzuela, talk about college and careers and psychology and penis impressions in cement and marketing and OJ Simpson and why we do the crazy stuff we do.

I just finished the book Vagabonding. It's about about finding what is really important by re-prioritizing possessions and prioritizing travel and new authentic experiences. This spoke to my heart, but I cannot leave my job and family for months or years. But maybe I can define what it is that most encumbers me and take a 2 year vacation from it. Listen to Nick ramble about the journey to authenticity.

I promised that I would watch The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, and that's exactly what I did. It lived up to the hype, and I am better for it. Next on the list is Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket. So give it a watch. Or Don't. Nick don't care.

When I was 11, journalist Geraldo Rivera opened a vault believed to belong to Al Capone, live on television. The show mixed documentary-style reporting of the rise and fall of Capone, with the real-time excavation and opening of this massive vault. As the dust settled, all that was found was a stop sign and the end of Geraldo's career as a journalist. But was it all that bad? Find out why I would take this kind of TV program over anything parading as journalism today.

My first live guest, Brian. I'll ask him if I can include his last name. He got a surprise phone call from me while I was recording. We talked about how we met in film school, aka film class at Modesto Junior College, and singing the song Gay Bar at karaoke.

Now that I don't have any more TV shows to watch, I decide to watch some classic movies. I also have an idea for a Titanic inspired play. All this and more. Got to get my bowl - got to get cereal.

Also, this is my bro-love letter to Rich Evans, the Birthday Boy, from Red Letter Media. Watch their review for Star Wars 3 Revenge of the Sith. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYWAHuFbLoc
