Waywut

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)

It’s skeptical, ridiculous, surprisingly informative, and just the right amount of nonsense.

TGIF Flashback – Where Are the Stars of '90s Friday Nights Now?

TGIF ruled the 90s. You sat down with your family, the TV served up Full House, Family Matters, Perfect Strangers—and everything felt right. But where did everyone go when the laugh tracks stopped?

In this episode of Waywut, Darrell and Jason dig into what happened to the stars of TGIF after the spotlight faded. Some went corporate. Some went weird. Some… ended up in movies titled Kung Fu and T**ies*. (Not a joke.)

We talk:

• Bob Saget’s dark comedy side and his strange, sudden passing
• The Olsen twins’ empire and Kimmy Gibbler’s unexpected comeback
• Bronson Pinchot flipping houses and narrating audiobooks
• Family Matters cast drama, vanishing characters, and Urkel overload
• How streaming killed appointment TV—and whether we lost something real

It’s a hilarious, occasionally sad, definitely nostalgic walk through the sitcom graveyard.

📌 Because not everyone from TGIF landed on Dancing with the Stars.

Can a 10-year-old be a murderer? What about a serial killer at 8? In this episode of Waywut, Darrell explores the dark, deeply unsettling world of juvenile murderers—kids who didn’t just snap, but planned, carried out, and sometimes even bragged about brutal killings.

We cover:

• Anton Wood, who shot a man at age 10
• Alyssa Bustamante, who wrote in her diary about killing a 9-year-old “just to see what it felt like”
• Jasmine Richardson, who helped her older boyfriend murder her entire family
• Craig Price, the Rhode Island teen serial killer
• Mary Bell, who was released and given a new identity after killing at age 11
• Amardeep Sada, possibly the youngest known serial killer ever recorded
• And Evan Miller, who claimed he was God before beating a man to death

We dig into:

• How sentencing varies wildly between the U.S., Canada, and other countries
• What “rehabilitation” really means when the offender is a literal child
• And whether justice systems are capable of handling crimes this young and this violent

It’s disturbing. It’s real. And it’s exactly the kind of dark rabbit hole Waywut was made for.

In 1987, two teenage boys—Don Henry and Kevin Ives—were found dead on railroad tracks in Arkansas. Authorities called it an accident. They said the boys smoked 20 joints and fell asleep. That was their story.

The truth? They were murdered. And nearly every part of the investigation was either botched, buried, or actively covered up.

In this episode of Waywut, Darrell walks us through a case where:

• A coroner lied under oath
• A drug drop tied to Mena Airport went ignored
• Witnesses kept dying—one was found burned, another stabbed, others “suicided”
• Files were stolen, photos went missing, and evidence was locked away
• A prosecutor was possibly at the scene—yes, at the scene
• And the FBI redacted so much, it might as well be a CIA training manual

This isn’t just incompetence. It’s corruption. And it still hasn’t been made right.

📌 If this one doesn’t make your blood boil, check your pulse.

You remember the Berenstein Bears, not Berenstain. You could swear Sinbad played a genie. And the Monopoly guy? Of course he had a monocle. Right?

In this episode of Waywut, Jason and Darrell take a chaotic trip into the world of false memories, collective delusions, and possibly... alternate timelines. Welcome to the Mandela Effect, where your childhood memories and pop culture references go to die—or at least get re-spelled.

This episode covers:

• The “Shazam” movie that never existed
• Star Wars quotes everyone gets wrong
• Fruit of the Loom’s missing cornucopia
• Oscar Mayer vs. Oscar Meyer
• Memory gaps, confabulation, and brain betrayal
• And whether we’re all just gaslighting ourselves—or being gaslit by the multiverse

It's funny, frustrating, and maybe even a little existential. Come for the nostalgia, stay for the argument about Pikachu’s tail.

Mount Shasta: a beautiful, snow-capped volcano tucked into Northern California—or a magnet for missing people, ancient civilizations, crystal-powered spaceships, and government coverups?

📌 Come for the science, stay for the blonde lizard aliens.

Welcome to Centralia, Pennsylvania—a town that’s been literally on fire since 1962.

In this episode of Waywut, Jason and Darrell dig into one of the strangest and most overlooked environmental disasters in U.S. history: the Centralia mine fire.

• How a landfill fire accidentally ignited an abandoned coal mine
• Why state and federal attempts to stop it failed for decades
• The real story behind the ghost town that inspired Silent Hill
• The residents who refused to leave even after the ground opened beneath them
