Tim goes on an extended riff about OJ Simpson living an extraordinary, envy-inducing life despite the murders, comparing him to Donald Trump and Cardi B as people who've "experienced everything."
- OJ Simpson posts on Twitter about looking good, playing golf, and offering analysis on Democratic debates.
- Tim lays out OJ's trajectory: star running back, movie star, then probably a murderer who got away with it.
- OJ ended up in jail for stealing his own memorabilia back from someone selling it, and is now free playing golf.
- Tim argues OJ Simpson has experienced everything—the highs, the lows, and nearly decapitated someone he was angry at.
- Most people suppress their rage at work because they fear getting fired, but OJ made a different choice.
- Tim speculates the murders probably felt really good in the moment, then immediately acknowledges the dark nature of that statement.
- Looking at OJ's full life arc without focusing on any single part, he could say on his deathbed he's done it all.
- Comparison to Donald Trump's similarly extraordinary life: billionaire, businessman, courted fame, eventually became President.
- Tim proposes a museum of great lives—not moral lives, but lives where you look and go 'that's awesome,' featuring Trump, OJ Simpson, and Cardi B.
- Cardi B went from stripper drugging men in Miami to having a number one song—another wild life worth examining.
