In 1985, journalists took weeks to verify a story. In 2025, AI pumps out a thousand fake ones before your coffee's even cooled.

Welcome to the Information Wars - where seeing is no longer believing.

This week, Jack and Adam unravel how the truth’s been hijacked by algorithms, media bias, and digital noise. 

From Vatican propaganda to Facebook echo chambers, they explore why misinformation spreads faster than facts - and why so many real questions get bundled up with madness just to be dismissed.

You’ll hear:

• How AI is creating fake news at industrial scale

• Why linking conspiracy theories with lizard people discredits legit concerns

• David Icke’s strange blend of insight and insanity

• What the MIT study says about lies being 70% more viral than truth

• How "peer-reviewed scientism" has replaced critical thinking for many
 
• Why the pub was better at fact-checking than your feed ever will be

Plus:
👉 Jack explains how Alex Jones became a smokescreen
👉 Adam wonders if David Icke might secretly work for MI5
👉 Both hosts question whether we’ll ever trust information again

🧠 What We’re Banging On About:
00:00 – AI and fake news on autopilot
04:00 – Bundling conspiracy with madness to discredit dissent
09:00 – David Icke: truth, madness, or both?
14:00 – The mainstream media’s subtle (or not) agenda
18:00 – MIT's study: why lies travel faster than facts
25:00 – "Peer-reviewed" as the new holy word
31:00 – When Facebook feeds became echo chambers
37:00 – The pub: society's old-school reality filter
45:00 – The lost art of productive disagreement
52:00 – Why Finland’s teaching media literacy to kids

💭 Ever wondered if you’re getting the real story - or just what the algorithm wants you to see? You’re not alone.

The internet might be full of free nudity, but millions of people are still slapping down their credit cards for OnlyFans.

What's that about then...

Jack and Adam dive into the weird world of OnlyFans, where people drop their hard-earned cash just to see someone's bits who they've never met and likely never will.

Turns out our modern digital relationships might be a bit messed up, as blokes develop feelings for women who don't know they exist while typing one-handed.

From the marketing genius behind it all to the grim reality for many creators, they explore how the average OnlyFans account makes about as much money as a paper round, while a few at the top are raking in millions.

Plus, Jack admits to his "research purposes" browsing habits, Adam tries to justify not subscribing to any accounts, and both hosts reminisce about simpler times when finding a manky magazine in a bush was the height of teenage excitement.

🧠 What We're Banging On About:

00:00 - Why people pay for nudity when it's free everywhere online
04:00 - The bizarre marketing funnel of OnlyFans
09:00 - How most creators make less than £200 a month
14:00 - When finding a dodgy mag in the park bushes was peak entertainment
18:00 - The weirdly dark side of digital relationships
25:00 - Girls sleeping with 1,000 blokes and the boyfriends who don't seem bothered
31:00 - When content gets more extreme because normal stuff stops working
37:00 - Why seeing more naked people than Genghis Khan might not be healthy
45:00 - The oddly specific searches that make you worry about humanity
52:00 - Everything in moderation, especially wanking

💭 If you've ever found yourself wondering why anyone would pay for an OnlyFans subscription or why these platforms are so popular, you're not alone.

Remember when your calculator got confiscated because you might've scribbled formulas inside the case? 

Now kids are asking ChatGPT to write their entire essays. 

Bit of a step up, that.

Jack and Adam dig into why our education system seems stuck in the dark ages despite all our technological progress. 

From those freezing cold BBC computer labs of our youth to the questionable nutritional value of "good sh*t pizza" in the school canteen, they explore their own educational mishaps and question whether today's students are getting any better preparation for a rapidly changing world.

Plus, Jack shares the mental tale of his dad hitchhiking to Wales at age 9 and sleeping in a police cell, while Adam recalls how university lecturers somehow always assigned their own £40 textbooks as "essential reading." 

Funny that...

00:00 - How education has barely changed since our BBC computer days
03:00 - The questionable wisdom of teaching factory skills in an AI world
08:00 - Why school canteen pizza still slaps despite being nutritionally bankrupt

Ever noticed how the moment life gets a bit too comfortable, we start creating problems for ourselves? 

Like that mate who's got a cushy job but decides to train for an ultramarathon through actual mountains. 

What's that about?

Jack and Adam dive into why humans are oddly drawn to stress and challenges, despite simultaneously whinging about them. 

Turns out our caveman brains might be so wired for problems that when sabretooth tigers aren't chasing us anymore, we start treating emails like predators instead.

From the bloke who stretches at 2am (looking at you, Goggins) to why billionaires can't just chill on a beach, they explore the weird science behind why the comfiest societies often have the most depressed people, and whether our need for a bit of struggle might actually be keeping us alive.

Plus, Jack shares his outrage about Costa's lid shortage crisis, and both hosts question if Australia is just one massive death trap with better weather.

🧠 What We're Banging On About:

00:00 - Why modern life's so cushy it's making us miserable
04:00 - When your brain treats an email like it's a hungry tiger
09:00 - The reason you're looking for problems even when there aren't any
13:00 - Why rich people can't just sit down and enjoy their money
17:00 - How certain struggles might actually help you live longer
26:00 - The sweet spot of stress that makes you cleverer (but not too stressed)
31:00 - David Goggins' absolutely mental 2am stretching routine
38:00 - Why that promotion feeling only lasts about three days
45:00 - First world problems vs actual problems (and why we need both)
52:00 - Choosing between being uncomfortably fit or uncomfortably unfit

Why do billionaires buy farms? Tech moguls start craft businesses? Corporate lawyers open coffee shops? 

There's a curious pattern where those who climb highest often end up craving the simple life they left behind.

Jack Austin and Adam Garcia explore "The Wealth Paradox" - that strange cycle where we chase success only to discover what we wanted might have been there all along. 

From David Beckham tending his vegetable garden to Vietnamese rice farmers who seem happier than City bankers, they dig into why success often leads back to simplicity.

01:40 - David Beckham: From football superstar to countryside farmer

Turns out they start missing Gregg's sausage rolls and random conversations with strangers, while definitely not missing the Friday night fights.

Jack Austin and Adam Garcia unpack what it's like viewing their homeland from afar, exploring how distance changes perspective and whether the British dream (if there ever was one) is still alive in today's world.

From drunken pub quizzes to the eye-watering price of a pint, they're getting nostalgic about the good bits of Blighty while taking a brutally honest look at why they left and what might tempt them back (spoiler: not much).

The robots aren't coming - they're already here. And they're writing your emails, making your dinner plans, and possibly eyeing up your job.

Jack Austin and Adam Garcia dive into the AI revolution that's happening right under our noses, exploring both the mind-blowing possibilities and the frankly terrifying implications of machines that can think (almost) like us.

From the bloke in the call centre who might be out of work by Christmas to the surgeon who could be replaced by something that doesn't get hangovers, we're asking the big questions about where humanity fits in an increasingly automated world.

Plus, we ponder whether AI will ever truly understand what makes us human - or if that's even the point anymore.

00:00 - The AI revolution that's already transforming our daily lives 

04:00 - How frighteningly good AI has become in just a couple of years

Ever wondered if being properly clever might actually make you a bit miserable? (And no, we're not just saying that to make ourselves feel better about our own brains.)

Jack Austin and Adam Garcia are tackling the bizarre paradox of intelligence and happiness - where apparently having more processing power upstairs might mean you've got fewer reasons to smile about life in general.

Bit depressing, that.

We're chatting about everything from how the military won't even let you get shot at if your IQ's too low, to why the bloke who can't imagine skipping breakfast might actually be living his best life.

Plus, some properly eye-opening stuff about why your smart mate keeps having existential crises at 3am while the happy-go-lucky ones are sleeping like babies.

Fair warning: This episode might confirm what you've always suspected - that overthinking absolutely everything might not be the path to contentment... or is it? (See what we did there? Classic overthinking.)

🧠 The Bits We Waffle On About: 

00:00 - Kicking off with the cold hard truth about brains and blues 

02:00 - What actually goes into your IQ score (and why one of us is rubbish at one bit) 

04:00 - Why the US military draws the line at an IQ of 83 (it's grimmer than you think) 

07:00 - That awkward moment when low-IQ folk can't imagine hypothetical breakfasts 

10:00 - How being proper smart might mean you're aware of just how rubbish everything is 

13:00 - The "ignorance is bliss" chat (and why it's probably actually true) 

15:00 - Does being clever mean you're destined for a better job but a sadder life? 

17:00 - When intelligence testing becomes a touchy subject (unlike football) 

19:00 - Are we putting too much stock in some arbitrary numbers? 

21:00 - Why that village kid who can butcher a chicken at age 8 might be smarter than all of us

🤔 If this episode's made you question whether getting smarter is actually worth the grief, subscribe for more existential crises disguised as mate chat. 

We'll keep overthinking absolutely everything so you don't have to.

Ever wondered what happens when one bloke gets his fingers in virtually every technological pie going? 

(And yes, we mean the man who could probably buy all the actual pies too.)

Jack Austin and Adam Garcia are unpacking the bizarre phenomenon that is Elon Musk - a fella who's somehow managed to accumulate more influence than entire governments while tweeting memes and playing video games.

Bit mad, really.

We're nattering about everything from his early days with that ridiculously successful PayPal crew to how he's got himself a cushy government job after chucking a few quid at the right campaign.

Plus, some properly jaw-dropping tales about his wealth that'll have you wondering if your meagre savings account is just a cosmic joke.

Heads up: Even if you think the man's a genius or a menace, his story raises some proper questions about whether anyone should have this much clout... doesn't it?

🔵 What We're Banging On About:
00:00 - The absolutely mental level of influence one South African programmer has accumulated
05:00 - His knack for making every process ridiculously more efficient than anyone thought possible
09:00 - The PayPal gang that basically owns half the internet now
13:00 - How he's made boring tunnels significantly less boring (and a lot cheaper)
19:00 - Is he actually a genius or just brilliant at finding people who are?
26:00 - When his random social media posts cause entire markets to have kittens
32:00 - The Cybertruck: revolutionary vehicle or something a six-year-old designed?
38:00 - Mind-boggling wealth that makes entire nations look a bit skint
42:00 - The whole Twitter/X saga and free speech palaver
48:00 - What it means when a single bloke has this much sway over our collective future
