In their own words

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.

As heard by us

Based on 6 episodes we listened to · September 2026

Everyday mishaps become sharply observed comedy through Tom Simons and Jack Manifold's interruptions, fixations and appetite for one more unnecessary detail.

A new pen barely survives the opening minute before Tom Simons and Jack Manifold are arguing over how voices work. That quick drift from ordinary objects into comic fixation defines Shut Up I'm Talking.

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Jack on the Worst Journey of His Life

A Japanese pen gag leads into Waitrose lunch, Liverpool Guinness talk, and a Liverpool Cathedral visit.

Jack and Tom start with a Japanese pen gag and keep folding the conversation through a Waitrose meal deal, Liverpool Guinness talk, and a visit to Liverpool Cathedral.

37: America is a mess

A shaggy road episode that turns strain, detours, and small humiliations into the bit.

The episode opens with Tom and Jack in America, and the weak intros and exhausted voices set a rough edge right away. That strain works in its favor.

Billzo on Overnight Fame, Mental Health and Taking a Break

A loud, funny guest chat that keeps bouncing between jokes and the human details underneath.

This episode lands as a chaotic, joke-first chat that never fully settles. The hosts move Billzo through Minecraft-era memories, school drama, family expectations, and the uneasy feeling of being the butt of the joke in public.

33: We Answer Your UNHINGED Questions

A no-guest episode that stays funny while opening into a thoughtful look at how music works.

This special episode skips the guest format and lets the hosts carry the whole thing, which gives the conversation its rough, loose energy. The banter runs fast, interruptions pile up, and the mood stays unruly without losing its shape.

32: Our Minecraft Movie Thoughts…

A Minecraft movie chat that turns into a stubborn ice dragon dinner loop.

A Minecraft movie discussion opens into a weekend catch-up that begins in fatigue and drifts toward controlled chaos. The conversation keeps trading one idea for another, from the dinner story and the ice dragon pitch to inventory plans, moss boss, void creatures, lava boss, and…

36: Dax Flame is too funny for us

Dax Flame turns tour humiliation and small interruptions into the episode's running joke.

The episode opens in a pleasantly messy way before settling into a joke-led conversation with Dax Flame. The hosts spend plenty of time interrupting and correcting each other, but that roughness suits the pace as the talk moves from family jobs and video games to planes and the…

Travelling China, Riding a Bullet Train and Eating Brains

A travel episode that turns logistics, snacks, and social embarrassment into the main event.

This episode leans into the show’s messier side: fast banter, petty confusion, train logistics, blind box shopping, and a food moment that lands somewhere between bravado and regret.

Jack Had to Go to a Cancelled YouTuber's House...

A messy, fast comic exchange where errands, parking, and embarrassment do most of the punching.

Shut Up I'm Talking opens with a ridiculous fight over who gets to speak, then keeps piling on the same chaos as the conversation drifts through driving, shopping, and parking.
