The Simpsons Show has the uncanny ability to predict the future. This episode unravels the fascinating history of the long-running animated series, highlighting how its satirical take on contemporary issues has often mirrored real-world events.

The hosts explore the show's impact on popular culture, its storytelling, and its unique ability to reflect societal trends with sharp wit and humor.
The core of the episode focuses on the top 10 theories that The Simpsons seemingly predicted with eerie accuracy. These predictions range from significant technological advancements to major political events, each accompanied by clips and analysis.
First on the list is the prediction of smartwatches in the 1995 episode “Lisa’s Wedding,” long before they became a reality. The boys then examine the 2000 episode “Bart to the Future,” which astonishingly foresaw Donald Trump’s presidency.
Each theory is presented with context, comparing the original Simpsons scenes with the actual events that occurred years later. The boys discuss the plausibility of these predictions, weighing in on whether they are mere coincidences or the result of astute observations by the show’s writers.
They explore the idea that The Simpsons writers possess a keen understanding of human nature and societal trends, enabling them to craft storylines that resonate with the future.
