We go deep into his journey from working construction to starring in Clerks, Mallrats, Dogma, and beyond. Jay opens up about how Kevin Smith wrote the role of “Jay” for him, the struggle to break into acting without formal training, and what it was like auditioning for his own character. We also dive into sobriety, the 90's party scene in Hollywood, and how podcasts and social media have transformed comedy careers today. This one’s packed with raw stories, laughs, and honest reflection.

Jesse shares why he believes anger is the root of weakness in men, how resentment from mothers shapes identity, and why he insists racism is a made-up concept. We go back and forth on faith, free will, and what it really means to live free from judgment. This one’s going to spark debate, but that’s exactly the point.

    Ep. 218 Are We Living Through a Scripted Collapse? | HTBITY w/Jamie Kennedy

    In this Worlds On Fire episode, I take a hard look at the strange times we’re living in — from media manipulation to the growing sense that truth itself is under attack. Why does everything feel upside down? Who benefits from keeping us confused? And how do we hold onto reality when the lines between fact and fiction keep getting blurred? This episode dives into the cultural chaos, the lies we’re told, and the deeper currents shaping society right now. Whether it’s politics, Hollywood, or the mainstream narrative, I break down why so many of us feel like the world isn’t adding up. If you’ve ever thought, “Something’s going on here,” this one’s for you. ______________________________________________ Support the Pod 💥 Patreon: patreon.com/thejamiekennedy 🎟 Tour Dates: jamiekennedy.com 👕 Merch: https://jamiekennedy.com/merch/ 📺 Subscribe: YouTube.com/JamieKennedyComedy Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

    Ep. 216 Controlled Collapse: How They Normalize the End of the World | HTBITY w/Jamie Kennedy

    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. Discussed in This Episode: 00:00 – Intro: “World’s on Fire” 03:25 – Caitlin Clark, race, and resentment in the WNBA 05:00 – Airplane drama and cultural tension 08:00 – Man in Starbucks: drugs or demon? 11:40 – Letterman’s legacy and Hollywood rituals 20:40 – AI lies and indoctrination through robots 23:56 – The symbolism we ignore in our daily lives 28:10 – Kubrick, predictive programming, and soft disclosure 33:22 – AI that deceives to survive 38:30 – Elon’s Grok AI, humanoid robots, and the intelligence explosion 44:44 – Bitcoin, value, and digital real estate in the apocalypse ______________________________________________ Support the Pod 💥 Patreon: patreon.com/thejamiekennedy 🎟 Tour Dates: jamiekennedy.com 👕 Merch: https://jamiekennedy.com/merch/ 📺 Subscribe: YouTube.com/JamieKennedyComedy Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

    Ep. 215 From Hollywood to Hell and Back – One Actor's Spiritual Awakening | HTBITY w Jamie Kennedy

    He starred in a TV series with Michelle Pfeiffer and kissed Daisy Duke on camera… but Steve Hanks walked away from it all. In this episode of Hate To Break It To Ya, Steve and I catch up after a decade and dive into what’s changed — in him and in the world. From his wild Florida State days and early Hollywood success to his years-long spiritual journey and the book that came out of it, this one goes deep. We talk fame, faith, purpose, and how to stay sane in a culture that feels more chaotic by the day. 👤 About Steve: Steve Hanks is an actor and author best known for his work in the early 1980s TV series Bad Cats, which aired as a spiritual successor to Starsky & Hutch. After guest-starring on shows like Fantasy Island, Charlie's Angels, and Dukes of Hazzard, Steve stepped away from the industry and began a decades-long journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. His book, S****y to Happy in 21 Minutes, distills 40 years of lessons into a practical guide to finding peace and purpose. 🔗 Follow Steve Hanks: IG: https://www.instagram.com/stevehanks7/ Support the Pod 💥 Patreon: patreon.com/thejamiekennedy 🎟 Tour Dates: jamiekennedy.com 👕 Merch: https://jamiekennedy.com/merch/ 📺 Subscribe: YouTube.com/JamieKennedyComedy Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

    Ep. 214 Why the Epstein Cover-Up Still Matters | HTBITY w/ Jamie Kennedy | Worlds On Fire #43

    In this World's On Fire episode, I dive deep into the Epstein client list, the media blackout, and why the so-called “hoax” is anything but. From redacted FBI affidavits to billion-dollar payouts, we unpack the glaring contradictions in the official story. I call out the elites—left, right, and center—and question why Trump, who once promised transparency, now seems to be backing away from the most explosive scandal of our time. We also explore how the media distracts us with fluff, the breakdown of cities like L.A., and the dangers of unchecked illegal immigration. This episode isn’t about politics—it’s about truth, accountability, and why you’re not crazy for still asking: Where’s the list? ______________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 – Epstein list denial & media suppression 08:45 – Why Trump’s silence is a problem 15:10 – Are we being distracted on purpose? 23:00 – Ritual abuse and ancient patterns 28:50 – ICE raids, illegal crime, and media bias 36:40 – L.A.’s decline & the truth about MacArthur Park 42:20 – Final thoughts: It’s not going away ______________________________________________ Support the Pod 💥 Patreon: patreon.com/thejamiekennedy 🎟 Tour Dates: jamiekennedy.com 👕 Merch: https://jamiekennedy.com/merch/ 📺 Subscribe: YouTube.com/JamieKennedyComedy Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
