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?

55: 2 Idiots vs 2 Scientists
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.

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.
