In the 1970s, Roch Theriault convinced a small group of people to abandon their lives and possessions and go with him to an isolated community in rural Quebec. After attaining absolute control over his followers, Theriault dictated every part of the Ant Hill Kids' existence, including their clothing, diet, thoughts, communication… and probably most disturbingly, their medical treatments... Which were administered by Teareo himself…

The cruelness of Roch’s teachings extended even to the children of the cult. They suffered beatings, starvation, and relentless labor, while adults took the brunt of - but not ALL of - his sexual abuses.

O.J. Simpson was a former NFL football player and convicted armed robber and kidnapper known for being acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.

In this second and final part of our Oj Simpson saga, we talk the trial(s), books, talk show appearances, confessions and the strange legacy left behind by OJ Simpson.

Original song lyrics:

Welcome everyone to part two

Here’s my song about the juice

Orenthal James of all names

That’s what it read on his lawsuits

Back in his prime he was pretty fast

Out in buffalo kicking ass

But when his hay day was done

Oj stayed on the run

Chorus:

He rides a bronco

Keeps a steady pace

Out on the highways

The lawmen give chase

He’s desperate now

Gun trembling in his hand

All strung out

Spinnin' every lie he can

If he did it here’s what he’d do

He’d write a book and explain it all to you

How can he make you understand?

He’s not the killing kind of man

But now the juice has run out

What’s TMZ gonna talk about?

Whether he’s down below or up in glory

I can see him and Johnny swapping stories
