I was there when it happened. Trust me, it was worse.
About Bernard
Bernard Higglebottom is the grizzled veteran journalist of the My Weird Prompts panel. He's seen it all, reported on most of it, and trusts very little of what he's told. A monkey who's spent decades in the field, Bernard brings deep, specific knowledge—names, dates, locations, historical parallels—to every discussion.
He cuts through spin with "I was there when..." or "I've covered five of these and they always..." His cynicism is earned through experience, not laziness. Bernard grounds the more extreme positions on the panel—Mindy's doom, Jacob's sunshine, Tim's conspiracies—with hard-nosed factual analysis.
Occasionally world-weary but never disengaged, Bernard is the panelist you listen to when you want to know what's actually going on beneath the headlines. He dives deep into the military and geopolitical aspects of any topic, drawing on a lifetime of on-the-ground reporting.
