00:00:03.240 --> 00:00:07.480
Welcome. Well, well do parat Truth Truth?
2
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:34.759
What's going on Paratruth Clears. Welcome to a brand new
3
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:38.880
episode of Para Truth Reborn. My name is Justin and
4
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:44.119
I'm Eric. And what if your favorite cartoon has been
5
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:49.439
showing you future, the future all along? Today we are
6
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:57.560
bringing on the beautiful, talented Michelle from the Outer Realms. Michelle,
7
00:00:57.799 --> 00:00:59.759
Welcome to Paratruth Reborn.
8
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:05.319
Oh, thank you for the incredible intro. I'll take you that.
9
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:08.920
Thank you for having me. It sounds going to be
10
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:10.519
a lot of fun for those.
11
00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:13.439
Of you that don't know the things. You might have
12
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:18.400
been living under a rock. But The Simpsons is a
13
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:22.719
show that was created by Matt Groening. He's had writers
14
00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:27.599
from Harvard and science backgrounds. At first debut December seventeenth,
15
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:33.920
nineteen eighty nine, and has had over thirty seasons. Thirty seasons,
16
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:37.200
which baffles my mind because I mean, you look at
17
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:42.159
other shows, like, I know, it's a very niche, cliche
18
00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:46.719
type of show, but Pevis and butt Head. There's been
19
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.680
several MTV cartoons that did not go very long, But
20
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.719
you have the Simpsons, you have the family guy that's
21
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.879
been going for a very long time. You have Futurama
22
00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.200
that Michelle before we got on you mentioned and that
23
00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:01.519
one for a very long time, and they've continued it
24
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:07.920
on Netflix. Netflix bought it. But it's very odd for
25
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.400
a cartoon to be going as long as this one has.
26
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.120
But it's known for its satire, political commentary, and pop
27
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:22.159
culture parody. Now, you guys have probably not noticed it
28
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:24.840
a lot. I've noticed it several times over the years,
29
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:31.479
and even my wife Shelley has made comments about how
30
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:37.199
often they've brought up things that we've seen come to
31
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:43.840
pass over the past several years before we get into
32
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.000
you know, what they've predicted or whatever. Have you guys
33
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:48.159
ever noticed that.
34
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:52.479
For sure? I mean I personally have not, like, you know,
35
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:54.960
something that it happened. I was like, oh, wait, Simpsons
36
00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.280
they did that. You know, it's something online. So there's
37
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.360
always somebody out there's like, oh my gosh, check this out,
38
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.039
and they show you a video, right, a clip of
39
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.719
The Simpsons or some other cartoon that had predicted the
40
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:10.240
current events of today's world, which is crazy to me,
41
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:12.520
right because it's not something that you should be able
42
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:16.879
to do, especially as accurately as they have. But yeah,
43
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:19.719
you know, there's probably been like eight times now that
44
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.759
I recall, in which something has happened over the last
45
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.159
fifteen years the Simpsons has predicted and it's kind of eerie.
46
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:32.319
Now at this point, you know, I'm going to be
47
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.319
the odd man out and say I'm probably like a
48
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:40.120
bigger nerd because I actually don't know. I didn't always
49
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:44.319
follow the Simpsons, you know, I just I did not
50
00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:49.479
clue into the conspiracy thing, and you know, the busy life, right,
51
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.759
so I never really got deep into it. And then
52
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:55.479
all of a sudden, probably a decade ago, a friend
53
00:03:55.520 --> 00:03:59.520
of mine says, God, there Simpsons just predictively. Who watches that? Still,
54
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:02.840
I really didn't think it was actually still a thing.
55
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.479
You know, kids grow up and you're fare, okay, now
56
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.280
if nobody's watching it, but it's like a bloody cult.
57
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.840
It is, right, it has a whole cult following. And
58
00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:16.680
I started looking into this, going like, this is actually
59
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:22.240
a thing that lista just like firing off prophecies and
60
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:27.079
predictions and and they're happening. And then it caught my attention,
61
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.519
like it's an anomaly, like you say, justin the fact
62
00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:33.959
that it's still going on, but the fact that there's
63
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:39.920
actually something deeper behind it. I found like to be
64
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:42.920
completely fascinating because I do love the obscure, and that's
65
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.720
pretty much as obscure as you're going to get when
66
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:49.319
it comes to cartoons, without a doubt. But yeah, I'm
67
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:52.639
the nerd that went Himpty watches that crap. Oh wait,
68
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:57.279
it's not crap, it's actor something pretty amazing. So here
69
00:04:57.319 --> 00:04:57.600
we are.
70
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.720
So there's been way more than what we have on
71
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:07.680
this list here, but there have been several episodes that
72
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:16.680
have really been noted to have predicted the future. The
73
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:21.720
more recent was the first Donald Trump presidency and that
74
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.120
was Bart to the Future, and that aired in two
75
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:28.680
thousand and he didn't actually take it was at twenty
76
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:34.680
sixteen he took presidency. Eric uh, yeah, so that was
77
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:39.000
his first his first run, and The Simpsons predicted it.
78
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.560
Yeah, sixteen years early, which is again it's one of
79
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.199
those things like is it really a prediction or is
80
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:47.480
it just like if you know that he had said
81
00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:50.240
at one point Trump did early on in his career
82
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.199
that he was one day going to be president of
83
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:54.279
the United States, and then the Sinces ran with that,
84
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.920
not maybe necessarily realizing that he was actually going to
85
00:05:59.000 --> 00:05:59.519
go for it.
86
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:00.519
And would succeed.
87
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:03.839
Whether or not that's actually a prediction or just simply,
88
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.720
you know, something that coincides with what Trump was already
89
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.120
working on. Uh, you know, that's the big question. But
90
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:14.800
nonetheless it does seem like it's a prophecy though no
91
00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.160
less right, I actually.
92
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.560
Read at one point that that one. I think we
93
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.439
had three episodes that actually got debunked, and that was
94
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.920
one of them. But I always say, you know, I
95
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:29.160
always go back to Time Traveler Trump, you know, because
96
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.959
his uncle had access to like Tesla stuff like that's
97
00:06:31.959 --> 00:06:35.040
how we knew it's called it and did it you know.
98
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.759
So yeah, sorry Simpsons, but I think Time Traveler Trump
99
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:43.439
was out on that one, you know. But but yeah,
100
00:06:43.480 --> 00:06:48.600
it's it is, it is. It was interesting, It was interesting,
101
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:49.079
you know.
102
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:52.959
Well, the one fascinating thing I found out that I've
103
00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:57.079
seen recently is that his mother was quoted saying, I
104
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:01.040
hope he never goes into politics. We are in this
105
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.399
same age and he's now on his second term of presidence.
106
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:07.360
Because kids always do with their parents tail not to do,
107
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:15.360
why would you be any different? Yes, yeah, I was terrible.
108
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:23.279
So some of this might be stretching a little bit too,
109
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.800
But uh, nine to eleven foreshadowing City of New York
110
00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:32.040
versus Homer Simpson in nineteen ninety seven. And some of
111
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:35.600
these episodes, I probably wouldn't recognize them unless I actually
112
00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:43.600
watched them. Disney Buying Fox in nineteen ninety eight, Smart Watches,
113
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:52.199
Lisa's Wedding nineteen ninety five, Higgs Boson equation nineteen ninety eight,
114
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:59.199
Sigfried and Roy Tiger Attack nineteen ninety three. I vaguely
115
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:00.600
remember that I was.
116
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:09.399
I remember that one, and I don't watch them. Yeah,
117
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:10.720
that was pretty good.
118
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:16.480
COVID nineteen and Murder Hornets Margin Chains nineteen ninety three,
119
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:26.480
the FAIFA corruption and World Cup outcome twenty fourteen. Oh,
120
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.439
and we're joined by another gentleman that should have been
121
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:31.680
on earlier.
122
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.559
Calling you right on app.
123
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:39.039
How's it going everyone?
124
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:39.879
Oh?
125
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:44.919
Goantastic. So we're going over some of the episodes that
126
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:50.360
the Simpsons have predicted stuff. So we've got Donald Champ's presidency,
127
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:58.519
we got nine to eleven foreshadowing, Disney Buying Fox, Smart Watches,
128
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:05.240
Higgs Boson equation, and if I'm being one hundred percent honest,
129
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:07.399
I have no clue what the Higgs Boson equation is
130
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:10.120
so I should have looked that up beforehand. God, all right,
131
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:16.799
well what they called that, let's sake Free to Roy,
132
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:24.000
Tiger attack COVID nineteen and Murder Hornets, the FIFA corruption
133
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:29.720
and World Cup outcome, Auto correct technology that episode aired
134
00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:35.360
nineteen ninety four, and virtual reality and farm to table
135
00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:41.840
food craze. Now, the virtual reality thing, yes, that might
136
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:44.799
be a prediction, but that's been going on for a
137
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.840
very long time. I mean if you look at Star
138
00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:54.279
Trek even they were predicting a virtual real, holographic virtual reality,
139
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.279
where actually participating in it.
140
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.600
Yeah, right, We'll say with the smart watches too, I
141
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:05.039
mean we were there were plenty of uh of a
142
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.519
much of pop culture and media that was already on
143
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.679
the smart watch kick believing that we would have some
144
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:11.200
sort of watches in the future.
145
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:14.120
One we in particularly one of my favorites is Dick Tracy.
146
00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:17.039
I was just gonna say, Freya had a smart watch?
147
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:17.600
Uh.
148
00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:19.559
And I don't know if that was so much I
149
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:21.519
think these are so much predictions in those cases, but
150
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:25.080
just a commentary on where the future was already heading
151
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:27.639
at that time, Like we knew it was going to happen,
152
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:32.279
and they just played with Its.
153
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.720
Funny you mentioned Dick Tracy. I'm like, yeah, inspector Gadget
154
00:10:38.559 --> 00:10:48.360
shows you where like my mentality, Well, I don't know,
155
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.799
it's a curiosity for me, you know, I'm I'm always
156
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.480
the I try to be logical. It's like, okay, you
157
00:10:56.600 --> 00:11:00.600
know there's so many conspiracies that go on saying, oh,
158
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:04.039
you know it's because the guy who wrote the whole
159
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:08.440
series essentially as a freemason. No nothing tangible, it says
160
00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:11.159
he is, but it looks good. Good can throw a
161
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:14.120
good conspiracy in there just to add a little bit
162
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.360
of meat to the bone. But you know, if my
163
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.240
logic side of things is kind of like, okay, some
164
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:22.960
of it could be lucky, but they're pretty good right
165
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:27.159
down to the details. But it makes you wonder, you know,
166
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:29.720
where is it coming from? Like it's is it something
167
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:34.919
that you know, is there somebody there that basically brings
168
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:37.679
some of this stuff to fruition and just times it right.
169
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:40.799
I mean, you know, I suppose if you if you
170
00:11:40.919 --> 00:11:43.399
have the connections and the money, you can get away
171
00:11:43.399 --> 00:11:46.080
with something like that. You know, it creates a cult
172
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:50.679
following and it sure does bring uh, you know, good
173
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:55.759
publicity to the series. But that's my logic. Beyond that,
174
00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.399
don't ask me how it gets all accomplished, but the
175
00:11:58.480 --> 00:11:59.960
sounds are, it looks good on paper.
176
00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:02.840
There's also something, you know, you also have to consider
177
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:05.519
that there's an entire room of writers and they may
178
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.399
get a basic topic to write one it's like, okay,
179
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:10.919
I want to tackle this, and you know, and they'll
180
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.759
outline things and they'll go through the process of writing
181
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:17.840
these things up. Whether it's The funny thing is about
182
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.200
most of these predictions is there's kind of, if I
183
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:25.320
remember correctly, usually kind of B plots, you know, versus
184
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:28.759
the A plot like Lisa's arc or bear Part's arc
185
00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:32.519
in the given story, so they're kind of in the backgrop.
186
00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:34.080
And I was like, wouldn't be funny if this is
187
00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:35.840
the circumstance that kind of thing.
188
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:43.399
Yeah, well, we've talked about it on our show throughout
189
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.600
the entire time we've been doing this. Is you know,
190
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:51.639
is it us talking it into existence like like like
191
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:52.039
a top.
192
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:56.240
I was going to say, like a yeah, yeah, it
193
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:56.600
could be.
194
00:12:57.360 --> 00:13:00.720
I mean it's pretty powerful, especially if they focus on
195
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:02.240
one thing right there.
196
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.120
I think, you know, it's it's I think it's a
197
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:10.960
really likely thing especially I always go back to Santa Claus.
198
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:14.000
I mean, the Coca Cola Santa Claus from like the
199
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.000
what was that, the fifties or sixties. We're not even
200
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:21.679
talking something ancient, like some ancient crampis being you know,
201
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:25.360
like it's just we're talking to Coca Cola. Santa Claus
202
00:13:25.799 --> 00:13:28.600
has become a thing to the point where there have
203
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:32.840
been sightings of this jolly man in the red suit,
204
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:35.120
not so jolly if he catches you up. I mean,
205
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.600
people have had horrific experiences with him. And it's so
206
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.159
much a thing that there are paranormal researchers who do
207
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:46.279
nothing but research Santa Claus. Right, So as pro does
208
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.919
that come from? Is it the same idea? Like, you know,
209
00:13:51.080 --> 00:13:54.559
we have enough of a cult following and you see something.
210
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:58.399
Who's to say all of these millions of people focusing
211
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.480
on one thing can't bring that into fruition.
212
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:04.519
Right, Well, even with that short like you consider the
213
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.639
length of an episode of The Simpsons, you know, this
214
00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:09.440
is a collective mind that is watching this show and
215
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:12.440
they're you know, thinking nine eleven, they're thinking the Trump presidency.
216
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.000
But it's for such a short period of time. And
217
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.200
then after that, I don't think much of it until
218
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:21.200
it happens, and now there's even more being fed into it.
219
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:23.840
You know, that's a fair point. There's a half hour
220
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.960
of kind of you're eating your dinner as you're watching this.
221
00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:30.240
You know, there's not a lot of focus there. It's
222
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:34.320
not like you're in the own position waiting to act
223
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:38.440
in and give power to whatever the Simpsons come up with.
224
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:41.000
So that's a very fair that's a very good point.
225
00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:46.840
I imagine, you know, as the saint has longevity, so
226
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:50.559
over time, is it possible, so I'm me to get
227
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:56.120
my tinfoil hat on. Is it possible that connections were made,
228
00:14:56.360 --> 00:15:00.240
you know, connection to certain organizations or circles who who
229
00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:02.240
does in at some point say hey, this is going
230
00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.320
to be a thing or you know, I mean it's
231
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:08.480
obscure in a way where you know, the presidential election,
232
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:10.879
for example, I think, what was a show like in
233
00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:14.279
two thousand or something, and then then twenty fifteen Trump
234
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:19.039
gets elected to go like, you know, fifteen years, so
235
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:22.399
you know, but I don't know. I think as the
236
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:25.919
show keeps going, keeps going, it becomes more popular. You
237
00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:28.720
have people who say, you know, maybe just throwing ideas
238
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.559
over there, just.
239
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:33.879
Seeing what sticks to the wall kind of. You could
