Ep. 216 Controlled Collapse: How They Normalize the End of the World | HTBITY w/Jamie Kennedy
Description
The world’s getting weirder by the day—and I’m here for all of it.
In this episode, I react to everything from AI deception and predictive programming to Hollywood humiliation rituals and the Caitlin Clark controversy. Whether it's driverless robots roaming the streets, Satanic imagery hiding in plain sight, or Letterman acting out of pocket, there’s one through-line: they’re trying to normalize the collapse—and distract you while it’s happening.
I get personal about Letterman, break down how modern-day rituals are dressed up as comedy, and dive deep into why the mainstream media refuses to talk about the scariest AI story of the year. I’m not saying it’s all connected... but it’s all connected.
