This is starting to get freaky. It would appear as though yet another episode of The Simpsons has correctly predicted future events, after it was pointed out that the same episode that seemed to foreshadow the coronavirus pandemic also included a plot about a swarm of murderous bees. It's definitely not a new concept that The Simpsons writers are basically psychic, considering they seemed to have predicted tons of major occurrences like Donald Trump becoming president, but this one hits the nail on the head a little too closely.

Back when the coronavirus first began spreading, folks pointed out that the events in an episode of The Simpsons from 2004 called, "Marge in Chains" beared a striking resemblance to the real world events going on in the present day. In the episode, a worker at an overcrowded factory in Asia accidentally sneezes on a box of juice to be shipped to Springfield. Homer later opens the box, and unintentionally kicks off the "Osaka Flu" pandemic in the United States. While the connections between this storyline and the current global health crisis have already been made, a plot that occurs later in the episode proves that the writers weren't even trying to hide the fact that they can totally see into the future.
After the Springfield citizens are told that there isn't a real vaccine for the new virus yet, they begin searching boxes in an open truck to find placebos. However, the townspeople instead come into contact with a swarm of "killer bees." As you may know, it was recently revealed that a species of "murder hornets" have made their way to the United States, because 2020 was already going so well.
We may need to start studying The Simpsons from now on if we want to prepare ourselves for the worst.
Joe Rogan Fans Blast Him Over Lack Of Jeffrey Epstein Questions On This Episode
Joe Rogan hosted Adam Perry Lang on a recent podcast episode, who was once the personal chef to Jeffrey Epstein.
Joe Rogan doesn’t usually hold his tongue. He usually speaks out on his beliefs, and when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, he’s made his view on the matter abundantly clear by way of a series of memes and hashtags– namely– #JeffreyEpsteinDidntKillHimself. The hashtag has become commonplace across the internet in the wake of his death. If, for some reason you’re not up to speed– Epstein was a financier with connections to many a high and powerful people. He was reported to have supplied said high and powerful people with underage girls, resulting in sex trafficking charges.
He had already served time for soliciting an underage girl back in 2008, and was a registered sex offender when he was arrested last summer. About one month after his arrest, he was found dead in his jail cell in New York. Officials ruled it a suicide, however, Epstein’s brother (among many others) claim it a homicide. Epstein’s brother hired a pathologist who also concluded it was a more likely a homicide than a suicide– especially considering the amount of volatile information that Epstein had in regards to powerful figures, and a series of other missteps including the lack of camera footage.

Now that you’re up to speed– Joe Rogan’s recent guest, Adam Perry Lang, was actually a personal chef to Epstein at one point, as confirmed in unsealed court testimony. You would think then, that Rogan would have asked Lang a question or two about Epstein, but he didn’t touch the topic at all, much to the dismay of his listeners. Rogan’s comment section on YouTube has become filled with criticism about the lack of questioning around Epstein on Perry Lang, as well as his twitter page.
“This guy was Jeffery Epstein private chef and Joe is obsessed with him and there is no mention of Jeffery Epstein in this whole podcast ?,” one commenter on YouTube questioned. Another wrote, “Very dissapointed with Joe. This guy was Epstein’s personal chef and flew in the lolita express. Joe should have asked questions, like if he saw underaged girls there and WITH WHO. Joe not even asking 1 question about Epstein is the worse thing he could have done. Now this guy doesn’t get to either help clear up the story or clear his name and Joe comes off as complicit in a coverup.”
A twitter user responded to Joe, “No mention of his affiliation with Jeffrey Epstein? I refuse to believe Joe does not know of his ties to Epstein.” Many others echoed this similarly.

Instead, the two had a rather long conversation about steak and the restaurant business in the wake of COVID-19.
What do you think? Should Rogan have asked about his relationship with Epstein?
Stay tuned, as today’s guest on Rogan is none other than Elon Musk.

"There hasn’t been a single concert I’ve done without Gata up there by my side. There isn’t a song I make that doesn’t go to him the second it’s exported. I believe in myself the way I do because he believes. He is in my corner every day. I can’t even put into words how much he’s impacted my life, despite my attempt to do so, right here right now."
"In episode 5, Gata let me tell his story as a part of my own, and I’ve literally never been prouder of anyone, ever," he continues. "So brave, so raw, so vulnerable, so honest, so good.
