In this episode of Shut Up I’m Talking, TommyInnit and Jack Manifold are back with another hour of chat about their lives, including Ikea hotdog disappointments, Tom’s accidental political career, and why tiny little thin things make Jack feel sick.

Tom discovers the joy of CEX and DVDs and reflects on BBC Radio, being labelled “the opposite of Andrew Tate,” and accidentally becoming a political commentator despite his only point of political reference being what his mum thinks.

Hear about Tom and Jack’s awful, doomed outing together, Tom’s Alice in Wonderland syndrome and Jack’s Ikea meatball gravy campaign.

Also:

● New Jacktivity alert! Extreme cuteness as Jack becomes a ‘fully qualified’ puppy trainer

● Jack’s ridiculous 'would you rather' questions

● Tom’s knitting-based problem and maths fails

● How’s the worm doing?

In an attempt to prove to Tom that science is a real thing, this week TommyInnit and Jack Manifold are joined by Henry and Gregor from Veritasium, the minds behind some of YouTube’s most fascinating science videos. From dynamite and Nobel Prizes to space, aliens, and free will, this episode dives deep into the questions that keep you up at night.

The boys discuss:

• Only just surviving Valencia’s infamous tomato festival

• The science of time, perception, and the paradox of time travel

• Whether aliens could wipe us out like insects

• Depression, dopamine, and why evolution made us sad

• Hacking, phone spying & 2FA vulnerabilities

• What happens when we die? Reincarnation, free will, or nothing at all?

Also: Ikea mishaps, shoplifting confessions, and Tom trying to prove that science is boring.

Tom finds out what happens when you go to Ikea and info-dump on a fan after eating a full English breakfast, followed by a trip on a rollercoaster, and Jack ‘may or may not’ have had an ‘incident’ in a van in Brighton’s famous Laines

Tom reveals his new hobby, ‘accidental theft’, and Jack describes getting dragged into a traumatising game of football that plays havoc with his ADHD and highlights his extreme lack of coordination. 

Also:

● Jack has primary school flashbacks - eccentric teachers, butterfingers and accidentally stripping naked for PE at age 3

● Tom’s Double feature cinema trip: Interstellar and Jaws back-to-back at IMAX, bad burgers, crying at Sam Fender, and unfeasible amounts of free Gorillaz merch.

● Big tangents on Stevie Wonder, Beethoven, adult-only parks and paying too much tax.

● Worms, rants, names rated, and a sneak peek at the long-lost pilot episodes coming this Birthtember.

Jack Manifold tells TommyInnit how he literally ate every YouTuber snack with George Memeulous, just moments before coming to record, and it nearly broke him. MrBeast Feastables, Phase Rug’s rancid candy, Ryan Trahan’s gummies, Karl Gummies, David Dobrik crisps, Sidemen jerky, they all get a mention. Watch Jack trying to cope with a sleep-deprived Tom Simons, while he tries to unstick his own jaws, deal with the sugar crash and regain his sense of taste.

Also in this episode, Jack tells Tom all about how he went back to the circus to be a judge, went on an ADHD chaos-fuelled foraging trip with a Michelin-starred chef for the latest Jacktivity and Tom asks Jack the most random questions his semi-lucid brain can think up.

● Jack judged a real-life circus school and they were phenomenal

● Foraging with a Michelin-starred ADHD chef

● Behind the scenes of a secret music video

● Existential rants about Superman, sleep, and leaking not-actually-dead worms

● Tom obsesses over YouTube Analytics

Warning: semi-lucid chaos, broken shoes, and way too much sugar

Big thank you to Christian at for hosting this month’s Jacktivity and sharing all your foraging knowledge. Check out his website here: ⬇
