By now, most people know The Simpsons is the longest-running primetime scripted show in American TV history. And for fans of the show (and those engaged in pop culture generally) there are many examples of the iconic show correctly prediction the future, including the worlds of politics and sports. Today Action Network hosts Chad Millman and Simon Hunter welcome on two entertainment veterans and brother with deep ties to the show. Joel Cohen has worked on the show for decades and has written nearly 40 episodes. His brother Robert Cohen wrote Flaming Moe's, one of the show's most beloved episodes, and is a veteran of many successful Hollywood writers rooms. Together the group discusses the passionate, often ridiculous gambling culture among TV writers, how the show does or does not predict the future, and so much more. #Volume #herd
