    51: Memeulous: “Why I’ll Never Show My Face”
    Aug 31 2025

    The boys dive into:

    • Why George Memeulous stays faceless and if a mouth reveal could actually happen
    • The bizarre pub moment that left George speechless
    • George’s surreal time at Cambridge University and how it connects with Jordan Peterson
    • YouTube, burnout, and how George stays motivated after 11+ years
    • The lies creators tell strangers about their jobs, including “I own McDonald’s”
    • And of course an update on how The Worm is doing.

    Also in this episode, Jack Manifold and TommyInnit debate the golden years of YouTube, George shares behind-the-scenes of his biggest viral videos and his shocking premiere league experience and we find out what life is really like when you’re one of the UK’s most mysterious creators.
    If you’re a fan of commentary YouTube, WillNE, James Marriott, or Schlatt, this episode is packed with stories you don’t want to miss.
