    The Setup

    The Kevin Hart Netflix roast didn't fail by accident. It failed by design, and Jeff, Super Solid, and Christina Carol are here to walk through exactly why. From the history of roast culture to the minstrel archetypes operating in plain sight, to the impossible position Black women are put in whether they laugh or walk out, this episode maps the anatomy of a setup where the punchline was always going to land on the wrong people. Plus: Jeff announces a new show. You'll want to stay for that part.

    So What If They Believed It?

    Just Jim and Monkeyboy sit down to take apart one of the oldest arguments in the resurrection debate: eyewitness testimony. The question isn’t whether first-century witnesses believed what they saw. The question is whether belief, on its own, counts for anything. We live in an era of HD cameras, digital forensics, and instant fact-checking, and people still get fooled daily. So what exactly are we supposed to make of testimony from people who had none of that? Sincerity isn’t a substitute for reliability, and conviction isn’t the same as evidence. If the best defense of the resurrection is “but they really believed it,” that defense has a problem.

    Old Faithful

    Some debate topics never seem to go away. “Black People Can’t Be Racist,” Old Faithful, is one of those conversations that keeps showing up across TikTok. It draws attention, brings people in, and gets repeated over and over again. In this discussion, Jeff from End of a Species and Super Solid use that topic as a starting point to look at something bigger: the current state of online debate. The real question is not just about the topic itself. It is about the quality of the conversation: Do participants share the same understanding of reality?Are people using consistent standards of logic and evidence?Is anyone actually learning, or just repeating positions?This is a breakdown of why so many debates feel like they go nowhere, and what needs to change if better conversations are the goal.

    How to Eat a Burger

    What started as a simple McDonald’s CEO gaffe spiraled into one of the strangest corporate trends in recent memory. From exaggerated burger bites to fine dining executives weighing in on drive-thru food, CEOs everywhere suddenly felt the need to demonstrate basic human behavior. This episode breaks down the “CEO Burger Olympics,” the culture of rewarding the appearance of effort, and the uncomfortable reality that teams of professionals watched these videos and said, “Yes, this is it.” Support:End of a Species merch: https://endofaspecies.com/merch Follow:https://www.instagram.com/zeusnjeffhttps://bsky.app/profile/zeusnjeff.bsky.social You can send feedback to End of a Species by emailing xnihilo@endofaspecies.com

    The Collapse Hypothesis

    Most post-apocalyptic stories assume the same thing: when society collapses, humans become violent strangers fighting over the last scraps of civilization. But what if that assumption is wrong? In this episode of End of a Species, Jeff and guests explore what we’re calling The Collapse Hypothesis: the idea that apocalypse fiction may misunderstand human nature. Inspired by recent episodes of Paradise, the conversation asks a deeper question: What actually happens to human behavior when the rules of society disappear? Along the way, the panel discusses disaster psychology, mutual aid, and the jobs that suddenly become powerful when civilization breaks down. ⚠️ Spoiler note: Light discussion of Paradise Season 2.

    Do You Regret Your Vote Yet?

    American politics has turned into bad theater. Outrage is scripted, accountability is a prop, and the only thing either side seems capable of is a dramatic monologue followed by… nothing. In this episode of End of a Species, Jeff, Shaun, and Solid ask the uncomfortable question: what does it mean when even fascism isn’t enough to spark real action?

    I Got Revolution Inside My DNA

    From the NFL’s complicated relationship with activism to capitalism’s grip on the biggest sporting event of the year, the hosts explore how artists like Kendrick convey revolutionary messages on a mainstream stage. They also examine cultural appropriation, referencing historical phenomena such as “Negrophilia” and highlighting lingering racial inequities—often in humorous, candid ways. Throughout the episode, they grapple with how modern-day entertainment, racial politics, and consumerism intersect.
