O.J. Simpson passed away, a “blob” anomaly was spotted over Antarctica, and more UFOs may have been caught on camera. These are the weirdest things that happened this week, which will get covered in this Friday Night Live.
After former NFL star O.J. Simpson's family announced his death on April 10, 2024, sports fans, celebrities, and true crime fanatics have been reacting and posting about the news. However, on top of all of the memes being created, there were a lot of memories coming up. The O.J. trial was one of the most watched programs of all time on TV, and it changed how people viewed television as well as how media agencies reported on the news. Since the internet didn’t exist yet, people were dependent on what the news media told them about the case. For the media companies, it wasn’t about if he was guilty or not; it was about milking this story for all it was worth as 30 million viewers tuned in every day. But did O.J. actually commit the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman? Why were certain facts left out of the courtroom, and why was America so fixated on the whole ordeal? Join Ben and Rob from Edge of Wonder as they unravel the history behind the case, what O.J. Simpson said for himself, and what others are saying today.
Also on this show, there’s a mystery: A strange and unusual, massive, dark blob appeared on a map traveling north over Antarctica toward Africa—and 80-foot waves were spotted, as well. What was this strange anomaly? Was it just a glitch in the mapping system, as the company who spotted it stated? Is there more to this mystery? Find out on this Friday Night Live. Don’t forget about the Mandela Effect (or Bendela Effect, as we call them). What do you remember: Cheez-It or Cheez-Itz? Finish the show with everyone’s favorite, the Top 10 Weirder News of the Week, plus the “Dig Deep” Live Q&A only on Rise.TV! See you out… on the edge!
