Welcome 20 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: who woo so in this particular episode, uh we were 21 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: looking back at the year that wasn't we're looking at 22 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: media predictions. Basically, the media gets to spend the last 23 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: month in the first days of the you know, of 24 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: the year, writing predictions that they know nobody's going to 25 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: come back and look up. They're usually pretty vague. Sometimes 26 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: they'll plan a flag in something, um. But for the 27 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: most part, it's the overall story they like to tell 28 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: is like things are going to continue to get pretty good. 29 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: I've gotten to admit it's getting better. That was the 30 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: themes for all of this ship. So, yeah, we're just 31 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: gonna look back at what the media told us was 32 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 1: going to happen in twenty twenty two. And we're also 33 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: you know, we're we're here to hold ourselves to account, um, 34 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: So we're gonna also we we do a predictions episode 35 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: at the end of every year. Last year it was 36 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: Ever Manard and Visit Dosani and I and we got 37 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: everything accurate. So I guess there's not too much to 38 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: talk about. What were some of them, I mean, some 39 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: were pretty pretty good. Ever was just Ever at one 40 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: point said Russia will invade Ukraine and nobody will do 41 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 1: ship and you can't tell me anything about it and 42 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: I'm calling it now. You heard me call it, and 43 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: it was you know, I think that they had already 44 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: started amassing forces. There were some signs that that might happen, 45 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 1: but the invasion actually didn't happen til the end of 46 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: February of two, and in the lead up all the 47 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: X birds were saying, no, it's not gonna happen. They're 48 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 1: not that crazy. They don't do that. So Ever was 49 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: onto something. You knew something was going on. It was 50 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: weird because the news was like it would be like 51 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: Ukraine Colan, these motherfucker's are gonna invade, and then the 52 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: US like they ain't gonna do shit. Everyone was like, 53 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: wait what because all the satellite imagery around the time 54 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: seemed to indicate like a military build up. But yeah, 55 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: shots to Ever for their never ending wisdom the name 56 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: of a stage to Ever, Oh yeah, yeah absolutely, that's 57 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: like actually the best branding. My prediction was continuing on 58 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: a bad things where everyone looks around and is like, 59 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: is nobody gonna do something about this? Uh? And that 60 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: seemed to be accurate. So bulls eye here here the 61 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: sound of an arrow hitting a bulls eye right now 62 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 1: inside your own head? What were physicists predictions that boomers 63 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: would continue to say racist ship. So another another straight 64 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: right to the heart. Okay. Also it was when and 65 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: just like that had just started coming out, and so 66 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: we kept talking about and just like that. So it 67 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: was an interesting episode. I think we may be overestimated 68 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: the staying power of and just like that. I think 69 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: it had a powerful couple of months when it first 70 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: came out. I feel like it was in the zeitgeist 71 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: for a lot and then you know, now it's been gone, 72 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: but it's coming back, like awesome. The expert predictions that 73 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: we went over in that episode, we're basically experts saying 74 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: it's endemic times. The pandemic is going to essentially go away. 75 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: Uh that everybody's going to be vaccinated by this time 76 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: next year, So how could the pandemic keep coming? And 77 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: also we're going to see AI be used to solve 78 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: the climate crisis, and we're going to see an actual, 79 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: like a real dent being made in the climate crisis. 80 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: Like there was an article from Northwestern e d U 81 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: that was saying all this ship and um, those things 82 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: didn't we got wet triple demmick and the best a 83 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 1: I could do was put breasts on Hitler. Yes, I 84 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: A I really turned up in the Yeah really the 85 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: planet making those avatars cool. I didn't see the Hitler kitties, 86 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,679 Speaker 1: just like we were joking about on another episode, because 87 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: so many people like if if you fed it like 88 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: photos and the AI deemed you to be like feminine, 89 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: it would just hyper sexualize. Just crazy. I will always 90 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: think of Kalen Durrante's titty picks from their AI usage. 91 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: Did Durante have some wild picks? Yes, posted on Instagram 92 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: and was crazy literally came out as a nine tip Dracula. 93 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: It looks like um freaking anime. Uh let me I 94 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: know anyway, so uh wait for that AI break. We 95 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: did have our writer j M go back through and wow, 96 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: that's wild. That looks like that looks like a mall 97 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: glamour photo. Yeah, that's that's really wild. This offensive, it's 98 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: so crazy. This one's actually nude. I know, not say work, 99 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: sorry I guess, but yeah, hey, have you ever just 100 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: wanted to be the hottest AI h her? But we 101 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: had a writer j M McNabb go back and look 102 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: at some of the predictions for two from various respected 103 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: news outlets and we're going to take you on a 104 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: tour through some of those after this break, and we're 105 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 1: back and let's dig in. One of the big trends 106 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: that you saw lot of people writing about, especially the 107 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: tech experts over at was crypto. Oh. C net speculated 108 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: that crypto will only continue to grow, and we'll see 109 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: if your employer will offer you that option. In two 110 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: here's a direct quote speaking of growth. Cryptocurrencies have been 111 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: breaking new highs and attracting more interest. The crypto exchange 112 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: app coin based past tiktoking YouTube to become the most 113 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: downloaded app, and Apple's App store a couple of times 114 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: during view the world's most popular cryptocurrency bitcoin as a 115 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: hedge against inflation, Politicians, athletes, others started making taking their 116 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: paychecks and bitcoin one. In no way did that backfire. 117 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: So shout out to c net being on top of this. 118 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: I just think it's like it's beyond their comprehension at 119 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: this point, Like it's the c net is a tech company. 120 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: They're not giant for the same thing. Like all those 121 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: people were like, they're like they're whisper networks are like 122 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: Wall Street people or finance people or something like, Yeah, 123 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 1: that's what they keep talking about, all right, right, because 124 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: Forbes is saying the sector becomes more ingrained in the 125 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: global economy against the wishes of policy makers. Uh. And 126 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: then the SEC goes another year without approving an e 127 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: t F that could buy and hold big coins wet anyway. 128 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: So it's just more like prediction though again that it 129 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: was going to grow, um, grow and grow and grow. Yeah, 130 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: um implode. A lot of implosion happening this year sports 131 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: Forbes like, so this is what I like, is this 132 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: is what I look for in my prediction articles when 133 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: they just come out and take a wild win. Forbes 134 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: came out and said we are going to get a 135 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: major US pro sports betting scandal, the first since nine um, which, 136 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: first of all, it is a weird prediction because it 137 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 1: didn't apparently consider Pete Rose scandal to be major, right, 138 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: because I think most people will be like, isn't that 139 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: a major betting one that kept the hit king out 140 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 1: of the Hall of Fame. Yeah, but that's just you know, 141 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: planting a flag, being like we are getting this wild card, 142 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: major story betting scandal and that that didn't really happen 143 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: this year. I see where they had that, and I 144 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: could see it happen in twenty twenty three, like it's 145 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: tolwys more of a possibility than it was before as 146 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: betting gets more ubiquitous. But but they went specifically like 147 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: a match fixing or game fixing scan. Yeah, right, because 148 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: I think I think there was some like tennis news 149 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: in that department last year. My question is, since they're 150 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: saying specifically for this article, Forbes is not in nineteen nineteen. 151 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 1: I don't know who Pete Rose is h but was 152 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: the Astros? Is that not it? Or is that oh yeah, yeah, 153 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: cheating scandal? Actually they were off. They should have said 154 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: a cheating scandal, because that is the thing that we 155 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: have seen a lot of and saw it continued to 156 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 1: see in the massive global markets of chess and pro 157 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: bass fishing. You know, we cheating scandals, and but they 158 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 1: weren't really gambling scandals, which where they was tearing the lines. 159 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: As someone who is so on the outskirts of sports, 160 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: but I was like, I know, the Astros that felt 161 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: like a really big scandal. Yeah, I think yeah, Uh, 162 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: the gambling part of the fact that Forbes predicts it 163 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: means that there is something happening right now. I think 164 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: that's gonna break the next year, this next year, no, alright, 165 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: just like kind of allude to it and the predictions. 166 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: Then The Guardian came through and was like, all right, 167 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: this is going to be Twitter's year. Um.

Yeah. Analysts predict that Tesla will report strong 184 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: financial results this year, adding billions to Musk's wealth. However, 185 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: Musk's game won't be seen in a salary or cash 186 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: bonus from the company, as his wealth has earned based 187 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: on stock awards. Twitter stock is in free fall currently, 188 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: like we said, it's lost a hundred and one billion 189 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: dollars and he is taking Twitter down.

Um As of September, the real 194 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: number was three point five percent. Wow. So this is 195 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: this I think goes along with like an overall trend 196 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: that we're seeing that will probably cover again in our predictions. 197 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: But it's just it kind of goes back to my thing, 198 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: my prediction of like people will continue, like things will 199 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: get worse in the same way they've been getting worse, 200 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: and everyone will just kind of look around but nobody's 201 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: doing anything about them, like and in fact, they're just 202 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: getting tired of hearing about how things are getting worse, 203 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,719 Speaker 1: so like they're not vaccinating their children, for instance, that's 204 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 1: why polio is back to back in school now, so 205 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 1: stop on vaxing your kids. Does vax those fools up? 206 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: They don't know what's going on. Tucker Carlson literally predicted 207 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: that COVID would go away, not because of anything that's 208 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: happening in the world of medicine, but because it was 209 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: just going to burn out because of a macron, you know, 210 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: because some works.

You predict that that was going to 217 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: be a yeah, that was gonna be a catch phrase 218 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: for this year. I don't even want to be here anymore. Well, 219 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: I didn't predict that. I think you should leave.

Nostalgia has been here every fucking year since. 249 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: That's a present feeling that in a big way. I'll 250 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,400 Speaker 1: tell you scream Rent didn't think Top Gun Maverick was 251 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: going to be hitting.

But I did 257 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: predict it strongly. I was, I was adamant and it 258 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: but it wasn't even off. It was like nobody, man, 259 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: you vibed that out purely because you just the trailer 260 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:23,120 Speaker 1: and the information was so upsetting, and he said here 261 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Yeah.

Yeah, Elvis was fine. 301 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: You know why Elvis is getting all that pop off 302 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: is because that the young guy who played him still 303 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: a Butler and Austin Reeves did you played Elvis? And 304 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: I think that's why it's getting all the sort of 305 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: acclaim that it's getting, because I think he did a 306 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: good job playing Elvis.

A lot 337 00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: of people the ad Eco Group, dot com and regular 338 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 1: thought that we were entering the age of the metaverse, 339 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: as in like no offices. Uh so they just said, 340 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: I'll just read a direct quote from the ad Eco Group. 341 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: Some office workers may even head into the metaverse instead 342 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: of a physical office. One thing is becoming increasingly clear 343 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: the future of the office is changing. Well that's a 344 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: vague enough statement, Fortune dot com. You will be going 345 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: to office meetings in the metaverse. Within three years, or 346 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: at least that's what Bill Gates thinks. You know, it's 347 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: so funny the technology is being built and like promoted 348 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: by people who start the meetings, not by the motherfucker's 349 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: who have to be in the meetings, because that's a 350 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: very different proposition. Nobody's like, Yeah, I wish I could 351 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: turn up this waste of my fucking time with a headset. Anyway, 352 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: you will never catch me the metaverse. I can't even 353 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: do VR, Like I get motion sick putting on that 354 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: damn headset and like being in the world.

Yeah, you're never catching me in 357 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 1: the metaverse. I don't really understand what they mean by it, 358 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,639 Speaker 1: Like we're gonna have like avatars and we all go 359 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 1: sit at a table at an as. I'd rather just 360 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: go to work. Then make me go to work. I 361 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 1: don't know, just make me go to work. Man, At 362 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: least I can eat there to say like that our 363 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 1: lives are become It's like the first step to this 364 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: virtual reality world that these people were obsessed within the nineties. 365 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: People gotta touch grass. I'm sorry, I'm not you're not 366 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: catching me in virtual reality. I don't like it. I 367 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: hate it. The only time to catch me in virtual 368 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: reality is fighting Russell Crowe in the movie Virtuosity. Like 369 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: I had to work on a virtual reality game when 370 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 1: I worked in KFC, and that was like awful. I 371 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: just don't get it and it never went anywhere. And 372 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 1: that's how I feel about the metaverse. People want it 373 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: to work so bad, and it's just yeah, it's fetch it, 374 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 1: fetch your verse, all right, And then we have to 375 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 1: take our heads off to the Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga, 376 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: who envisaged I guess Baba Vana predicted nine eleven and 377 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: Braley and in two predicted another pandemic, which we're kind 378 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: of seeing. That's kind of low less, like low ball, 379 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, okay. But they also added that 380 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: this pandemic will be discovered in Siberia and caused by 381 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: a frozen virus that will be released by climate change, 382 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: which was actually the plot of the last cris Pratt 383 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: alien invasion movies. Can I say it wasn't that like 384 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,479 Speaker 1: the movie? So they might they might have gotten their 385 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: wires crossed. They might have been seeing the yeah, yeah, 386 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: Baba vanas in development over at Lyon. So that happened. Yeah, 387 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: I love that's on the blacklist that script, uh, and 388 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: I will predict that to happen. Baba Aliens will invade 389 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: the planet by sending an asteroid to seek out life 390 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: on Earth with an unfred the outcome in two that's 391 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 1: what okay, alright, Bavana. It seems like take some big 392 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: swings years. One of them hits and they're like, well, 393 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: I told you wait, but you also said, Baba Vana 394 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: predicts that Will Smith will slap Yes, wasn't that that happened? 395 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: Something that will happen that will cause heartache for Will Smith. 396 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 1: That was a different one. That was Nicholas A Jewela 397 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: who's a soul therapist. Yes, soul therapists predicted that something 398 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: would happen that caused heartache for Will Smith. Kind of true. 399 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: Also saw a new virus on the horizon, which seems 400 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: to be a thing that is popping off with psychics. 401 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 1: Also saw the Queen having a much brighter year, all right, yeah, 402 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: and as she walks towards the gates of hell and 403 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 1: ye walking towards the bright light. Yeah, much brighter Okay, 404 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: Once I correctly predicted the Queen will hand over a 405 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: large part of her role to another member over the 406 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 1: next twelve months. Close enough, count it ding ding ding? Okay, yes, 407 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: all right, So the only person who got anything right 408 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: was Ever Maynard in me on Daily Zy and Papa Bongo. Yeah, 409 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 1: how dare you? We will not stand for Baba Vongo 410 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: correctly predicted a plot point in a Chris Pratt movie 411 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,920 Speaker 1: that had come out a month before. So that's really 412 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: hard for psychics because they like see a vision, but 413 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: they don't know for sure if it's a movie or 414 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: light Wait, ship, that's a Chris Pratt movie. Oh day, 415 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: I know, I just predicted the plot for that New cruise. Yeah. 416 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: What if you're having a vision, You're like staring into 417 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: the flame for the third straight hour and you see 418 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: this wild vision. But then like Chris Pratt walks by 419 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: in the background, like you're like, yo, my bad, my bad. God. 420 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: That must be so tough. We have to have more 421 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 1: empathy for mediums, you know. I've always said that absolutely, 422 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 1: especially the Long Island Medium Number one's a fake. That's yeah, 423 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: she's taking it all right. Well, those are some of 424 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: the predictions that people made about this year, so you 425 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 1: know you have all the evidence you need to ignore 426 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: all media predictions except for the Daily Zeitguys Predictions episode, 427 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: which will be coming out soon, so check your feed 428 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: in the coming days.
