Shut Up I’m Talking

What do you get when naivety meets extraordinary opportunity? This podcast. An authentic and hilarious insight into the weird, wonderful and endlessly curious brains of two firmly Gen Z YouTubers who have grown up in the intense spotlight of the internet. Meet Tom Simons, aka TommyInnit, and Jack Manifold every week as they open up their diaries and try to make sense of the internet-famous-meets-normal-real-life lives they are living.

Tom unveils his drag persona, shares his James Marriott gig catastrophe, and Jack explains how he ended up sharing a bed with AverageHarry in Italy.

Get ready for a collective existential crisis.

This week on Shut Up I’m Talking, TommyInnit and Jack Manifold welcome viral TikTok comedian and Brighton local Isaac HP to the podcast, whose wild energy and painfully honest humour have made him one of the UK’s most unpredictable rising stars.

 From his difficult childhood to making himself into a meme and becoming a social media phenomenon, Isaac opens up about mental health, working-class shame, burnout, and the fear of not belonging in the creative world.

He talks about his toughest comedy gigs, being mistaken for a terrorist in Poole, surviving therapy and TikTok addiction, and how Brighton helped him rebuild his life. Tom and Jack talk about their own creative struggles too, from streaming, writing and performing to staying authentic and not being defined by stats. 

Expect hilarious stories, raw honesty, and some deep takes on class, anxiety, creativity, and the healing power of comedy. Plus Isaac’s love of actual newspapers, Minions, and his worst moment of the week.

57: Isaac HP on TikTok, Comedy & Why He Nearly Gave Up

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.
