Can a cartoon really predict the future? Did Nostradamus actually see World War II coming? Or are we just really good at connecting random dots?

In this episode of Waywut, Darrell and Jason dig into some of the most talked-about predictions of all time—from The Simpsons and psychic hotlines to medieval poetry that’s somehow supposed to explain Twitter and Tesla.

Topics include:

• The truth behind famous Simpsons “predictions”
• Cybertruck vs. Homer’s dream car
• Cold reads, psychic scams, and how fortune tellers get away with it
• Nostradamus: the king of vague quatrains
• Golden Corral lawsuits, Florida python hunts, and shrimp in court
• Why people desperately want the future to be predictable (spoiler: anxiety)
