Description

Ever nodded off at a moment when you wished you hadn't? You're in good company – or at least, the same boat as a certain former president. This episode is a rollercoaster ride through the quirky, meme-worthy moment when Trump took a courtroom snooze, coined affectionately here as "Don Snorleone." While we chuckle at the absurdity, we don't shy away from the deeper conversation about media bias and courtroom stress that might have led to such a snoozy faux pas. Plus, we consider the spectacle of jury selection in high-profile cases, where seeing a celebrity defendant in the flesh can feel like an alternate reality.Remember the '90s when the O.J. Simpson trial had us glued to our screens, disrupting even the NBA finals? We take a nostalgic look back at the trial that transformed media consumption and gave us unforgettable characters and courtroom drama. Then, it's a hop, skip, and a jump to the present, where we juxtapose the Trump trial's chaos with the calculated moves of the past. The trials of Trump and O.J. may be different in nature, but they're united in their cultural magnetism and the discussion they stir about the power of celebrity within the justice system.Lastly, we ponder a provocative idea: has the line between outrageous and acceptable behavior blurred beyond recognition? In a world post-January 6th, we explore how Simpson's hypothetical case might have played out and what that says about our current views on accountability. This episode is a thought-provoking mix of humor, insight, and a touch of nostalgia – a look at how public figures' legal woes become part of our collective narrative and reshape our understanding of justice. So, buckle up for a candid conversation on the trials, the media, and the seemingly insane world we navigate.Support the showSupport the show:https://www.buzzsprout.com/2003879/supportFollow our show's hosts on Twitter: twitter.com/@CoolTXchicktwitter.com/@Caroldedwinetwitter.com/taradublinrockstwitter.com/blackknight10ktwitter.com/@pardonpodFind Tara's book here:Taradublinrocks.comFind Ty's book here:Consequence of ChoiceSubscribe to Tara's substack:taradublin.substack.comSubscribe to Ty's substack:https://theworldasiseeit.substack.com/ Support Our Sponsor: Sheets & GigglesEucalyptus Sheets (Recommended):Sleep Mask (I use this every night)Eucalyptus Comfortor...
