This week we talk about the early days of Paula and O.J.’s relationship and the celebrity cameos reach either a high or a low point. Digressions include date etiquette, cat scams and room-temperature Diet Coke. Mike has his head in his hands for long periods.
In this episode we discuss domestic abuse, including the violence Nicole Brown Simpson experienced and the circumstances of her 911 calls.

0:00.0 | I have notes, I'm very proud. |
0:02.4 | And I've just written like a key point of what happens page by page and so on 49 and bubble letters I wrote sex. |
0:09.6 | Welcome to You're Wrong About the podcast that puts history on primetime live but doesn't ask it softball questions. |
0:32.2 | So beautiful. Thank you. I'm Sarah Marshall. I'm working on a book about the Satanic Panic. I am Michael Hobbs. I'm a reporter for the Huffington Post. |
0:42.2 | We have a Patreon at patreon.com slash you're wrong about if you want to support us you can get one bonus episode a month. |
0:50.2 | Recently we have talked about the crown or you can just listen to the free ones because we do a lot of those too. |
0:56.2 | And today we're talking about Paula right? Yes. Okay. I'm so traumatized from all the times that you've switched this up on me. I know. |
1:05.2 | But I never know what to expect now. It's been hard. |
1:10.2 | So we just did a Paula episode as our last episode of 2020 and now we're doing one for our first episode of 2021. |
1:19.2 | Tell us what did we just experience with Paula in the last episode we did and where are we picking up this whole OJ Simpson story. |

2:06.2 | And then she went back to LA and we left her on an airplane flying from Florida to LA to reunite with OJ and support him during this we now know nine month long trial. |
2:20.2 | Yeah. It makes so much sense to me why in the moment she made the choices that she did and to me what is important to me about this book is that it shows how the moment's pile up to become your life. |
2:32.2 | Yeah. That any single decision makes sense. Yeah. Even if the sum total of all of those decisions ends up not being great for her in the long term. |
2:41.2 | Yeah. And I feel like we all have things like that in our life. Oh yeah. |
2:44.2 | And then it's like he zoom out and then you're like, oh my god, I was okay since since girlfriend. Yeah. |
2:49.2 | And it's like, well, when you put it like that. Something I want to talk about now is something that she reminisces about in her book, which is how did the relationship start? |
