Episode description
When you think of the term soothsayer you likely imagine a crusty old bearded guy warning Julius Ceasar to beware the Ides of March. Either that or you wonder to yourself what the Hell a Soothsayer is. Whether you want to call them a fortune teller, a seer, a psychic, these guys are known for foretelling future events. This week we take a look at the Grand Daddy of them all, Nostradamus. Nostradamus is known for predicting many future events using vague and poetic language. Some of these prophesies are hoaxes, spread around the internet, others could be misinterpretations. Maybe some are legit. Look, man. I don’t claim to know the answers to the future, that’s above my pay grade. Anyway, this episode, Mateo goes over a bunch of poems that point to the future apocalypse and Mike tries to convince him that Nostradamus was just writing biblical fan fiction.
