    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.

    47: Jack hates YouTuber Products
    Aug 3 2025
    Jack Manifold tells TommyInnit how he literally ate every YouTuber snack with George Memeulous, just moments before coming to record, and it nearly broke him. MrBeast Feastables, Phase Rug’s rancid candy, Ryan Trahan’s gummies, Karl Gummies, David Dobrik crisps, Sidemen jerky, they all get a mention. Watch Jack trying to cope with a sleep-deprived Tom Simons, while he tries to unstick his own jaws, deal with the sugar crash and regain his sense of taste.

    Also in this episode, Jack tells Tom all about how he went back to the circus to be a judge, went on an ADHD chaos-fuelled foraging trip with a Michelin-starred chef for the latest Jacktivity and Tom asks Jack the most random questions his semi-lucid brain can think up.

    ● Jack judged a real-life circus school and they were phenomenal
    ● Foraging with a Michelin-starred ADHD chef
    ● Behind the scenes of a secret music video
    ● Existential rants about Superman, sleep, and leaking not-actually-dead worms
    ● Tom obsesses over YouTube Analytics

    Warning: semi-lucid chaos, broken shoes, and way too much sugar

    45: Does Eleanor Neale really love Jack Manifold?
    Jul 20 2025
    This week, TommyInnit and Jack Manifold are joined by the queen of true crime Eleanor Neale, host and creator of the hugely successful Outlore podcast.

    Tom Simons takes the reins this episode to find out more about Jack Manifold’s girlfriend and what it’s actually like to be part of a YouTuber couple.

    Eleanor talks about her alcoholic zoo party and worst moment of the week, Jack deals with ongoing eye trauma, and we learn way too much about everyone’s digestive issues.
    We talk true crime burnout, the emotional toll of reporting brutal cases, and why Eleanor needed a break after reporting on one devastating Christmas Eve murder. She opens up about why women are drawn to true crime, what drives her storytelling, and how she balances advocacy with emotional well-being.

    Also discussed:
    - How Jack and Ellie met and what their home life is like
    - What Jack and olives have in common
    - What it’s really like to have a true crime podcast
    - How Eleanor finds the balance between the gore and the goof
    - ADHD, mess, and living together
    - Long distance relationship advice
    - Creepy houses and a kleptomaniac fox
    - Grumpy grandads, politics, and Tom’s falling apart shoes

    Plus:
    - Who knows Jack best?
    - Does Ellie get recognised in public?
    - Who gets recognised where?
    - What’s Ellie’s biggest red flag about Jack? (And what’s his?)
    - The weird crossover of Dream SMP fans, emo girls, and Switch 2 rants

    Join us for unfiltered laughs, weird fan encounters, serious chats about trauma and online fame. Plus, the comfort of a true love story and a little bit of worm twerking.
