Hello, welcome to Pop Culture Rewind. What do you have for us today, Desi? Well, today we're going to talk about an internet favorite. And this is all of the times The Simpsons has accurately predicted something. Oh, my God.

You're a viewer of The Simpsons, I'm assuming, at some point. I mean, yes, it was appointment viewing for me in the 90s.

Yes. Like the early years, I definitely was on. Yeah, the first nine seasons. There's a lot of seasons. It's been on the air for over three decades now, which is crazy. And in that time, it has predicted numerous events in the world of sports, politics,

appeared, his likeness has appeared on The Simpsons, and it doesn't match

what they drew for him. So it's like obviously fake. But part of the reason it does take off

every time is because the Simpsons has actually predicted events that later come true

multiple times. Like there's lists of up to like 58 things. I mean, some of them

are very mild, like the Rolling Stones still playing when they're really old. Yeah. And it's like the

steel wheelchair tour instead of the steel wheels. But it's like, that's like, okay, like, sure,
