After taking a four year break on his Oklahoma ranch, Blake Shelton is back on the road and riding the high of his new album, For Recreational Use Only . After 29 number one hits, and a detour into Hollywood, Blake’s scorching hot single “Texas” proves he’s still got it. Country Thunder CEO Troy Vollhoffer recalls meeting Blake Shelton during a crazy storm that really put the “thunder” in Country Thunder. After 23 seasons on The Voice , Blake opens up about spreading himself thin and making the choice to be “a TV guy or a touring guy.” The two reminisce about Toby Keith and why being a road dog is the best way to learn how to entertain a crowd. Blake reveals how his worst on-stage “ass-kicking” taught him how to be himself in front of a crowd. After taking so much time away from the spotlight, Blake shares that it was Post Malone who reminded him that he’s still a country singer at heart.…

Right, shall we question everything we think we know about reality?
Jack Austin and Adam Garcia are digging into simulation theory - where we might all be living in a sophisticated computer program, and Elon Musk reckons there's only a one-in-a-billion chance we're not.
No pressure then.
We're chatting about everything from Google's quantum computer that makes the universe look a bit slow, to how the ancient Egyptians were suspiciously good at building massive triangles without even having invented the wheel.
Plus, some properly unsettling psychedelic experiences that'll have you side-eyeing your mates wondering if they're NPCs.
Spoiler: Even if this is all just code in some cosmic computer, at least we can't blue-screen our way out of existence... right?
🔍 Key Moments:
00:00 - Kicking off with Elon's wild "one in a billion" simulation claims
02:00 - How Google's quantum computer is making the universe look a bit slow
09:00 - Ancient Egyptians building pyramids (without wheels, the show-offs)
14:00 - When The Sims gets too real (confessions of digital torture)
20:00 - The déjà vu dilemma: glitch in the Matrix or just your brain being weird?
26:00 - That awkward moment when drugs make you think everyone else is an NPC
33:00 - Why love might be the only cheat code worth using in this cosmic game
38:00 - Things that make you go "hmm" (like how infinity works both ways)
42:00 - Netflix's questionable moral compass (violence good, other stuff bad?)
48:00 - Why it might not matter if we're in The Matrix anyway
🎮 If this episode made your brain hurt, subscribe for more existential crises disguised as casual chats. We promise to keep questioning reality, even when reality's questioning us back.

The AI Dystopia Is Already Here - You Just Haven't Noticed Yet 1:01:29

לפני 23 hours1:01:29

1:01:29

Send us a text The thing is, we're all worried about AI taking over... but what if it already has? 🤖 Jack Austin and Adam Garcia dive deep into the dystopian potential of artificial intelligence - and it's way more mental than you think. From the "dead internet theory" (spoiler: most of what you're reading online might already be fake) to AI drones hunting humans in Ukraine, this episode explores whether we're heading for apocalypse or utopia. We unpack: Why that viral LinkedIn post or Reddit story you shared might've been written by a bot The terrifying reality of autonomous weapons already being deployed How AI therapists are replacing human connection (and why that's not entirely bad) The simulation theory question: Are we already living in the Matrix? What happens when AI makes 90% of jobs obsolete (hint: it's not pretty) Why the race for AGI might be humanity's last invention Moments that blew our minds: 🎯 AI-generated slop flooding every platform (and why you can't tell anymore) 🎯 The Ukrainian conflict becoming a real-world testing ground for killer robots 🎯 How AI could diagnose your health problems years before human doctors 🎯 The economics of why we might all end up on universal basic income 🎯 That mental stat about tofu production efficiency vs. meat I was thinking about this earlier - we're living through the most significant change in human history, and most of us are just... scrolling through it. Whether you're excited about our AI overlords or stockpiling for the robot apocalypse, this conversation cuts through the hype to explore what's actually happening. Spoiler: It's both better and worse than you think. "What's the point of humanity if machines do everything better?" Yeah, we go there. 🎧 New episodes every week 🔔 Subscribe for more unfiltered conversations about tech, humanity, and whatever comes next 💬 Tell us: Are you team apocalypse or team golden age? #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Dystopia #Technology #Future #AGI #DeadInternet #SimulationTheory #Podcast #UKPodcast Subscribe to our channel on YouTube Check out our website at temporallyscripted.com Follow us on X, too!…

The Death of Free Speech? How Social Media Became Judge, Jury & Executioner 52:46

לפני 14 ימים52:46

52:46

Send us a text Is free speech dead in the digital age? 🤐 Jack Austin and Adam Garcia tackle one of today's most explosive topics - who really decides what you can and can't say online anymore. The thing is, we're living in this mental paradox where everyone has a platform but the boundaries of what's acceptable keep shifting. From Jack's recent Facebook cancellation (and the wild story of a scammer who actually made more money impersonating him) to people getting jail time for social media posts, this episode digs into the reality behind cancel culture. We explore: Why some protests get protection while Facebook comments land you in prison The psychology of why humans are addicted to digital drama (hint: it's not that different from medieval executions) How Silicon Valley billionaires became the new speech police The shocking double standards in content moderation That time a scammer made £4k pretending to be Jack (while his actual business made less) From ancient Greek ostracism to today's shadow banning, we unpack how the power to control speech shifted from governments to tech companies - and what that means for all of us. Key moments that blew our minds: 🎯 Facebook protecting fake accounts while banning real people for jokes 🎯 The 300,000 moderation decisions Facebook makes EVERY MINUTE 🎯 Why "hurt feelings" became a weapon of mass cancellation 🎯 The Adler philosophy approach to choosing to be offended 🎯 How the UK jails people for posts while allowing actual calls for genocide "If Jamie told you to jump off a cliff, would you?" - Yeah, your teacher was onto something. Whether you're worried about being cancelled or just trying to work out why your reach suddenly tanked, this cuts through the partisan nonsense to find what's actually going on. I was thinking about this earlier - we've never had true free speech, but the stakes have never been this high or this weird. 🎧 New episodes weekly 🔔 Subscribe for more unfiltered conversations about tech, society, and being human 💬 Share your cancellation story below - we actually read them #FreeSpeech #CancelCulture #SocialMedia #Censorship #TechControl #DigitalRights #Podcast #UKPodcast Subscribe to our channel on YouTube Check out our website at temporallyscripted.com Follow us on X, too!…

Scrolling to Hell: Why Your Screen Time Is Someone Else's Payday 1:04:28

לפני 22 ימים1:04:28

1:04:28

Send us a text Your Attention Has Become the Most Valuable Commodity on Earth Tech companies are worth billions, not because of what they sell to you, but because of what they sell about you. Your time, your focus, your mental energy - it's all being harvested, packaged, and sold to the highest bidder. Jack and Adam dive into the invisible war for your mind in this episode of Temporarily Scripted. The thing is, we're all walking around with these devices that track 52,000 personal attributes about us, and most of us don't even realise we're on the battlefield. The lads share their own screen time shame - Adam's clocking 12 hours daily (though he swears that includes his computer), while Jack's managing a more modest 2 hours 38 minutes. But here's the reality: even their "low" numbers would've seemed mental just a decade ago. From people filming entire gigs through their phones instead of actually experiencing the music, to watching Oppenheimer at the cinema while simultaneously scrolling Instagram, they explore how we've completely lost the plot when it comes to being present. It's nuts when you think about it - paying good money to watch a massive screen while staring at the tiny one in your pocket. When was the last time you went to the toilet without your phone? Adam hasn't taken his since... well, ever. And that 580-day Duolingo streak teaching you to say "the dirty bat is at the train station" in Vietnamese? Yeah, that's time you're never getting back. The conversation gets properly deep when they discuss how turning off notifications changed their lives, why 95% of YouTube "education" is actually just sophisticated sales funnels, and what happens when VR and AR make today's phone addiction look like child's play. 🧠 The Attention Battlefield: 00:00 - The invisible war for your mind begins 04:00 - Screen time confessions and daily phone pickups 09:00 - Why people watch films at the cinema through their phones 14:00 - The psychology of the hook and intermittent rewards 21:00 - How Facebook knows you better than you know yourself 26:00 - Breaking free from notification addiction 34:00 - Why YouTube education is actually a shopping experience 42:00 - The future dystopia of VR and AR addiction 49:00 - Surveillance capitalism and you being the product 56:00 - Practical strategies for reclaiming your mental sovereignty 🎯 Key Insights That'll Blow Your Mind: Facebook tracks 1.1 million data points per user annually Average person spends 3 hours 15 minutes daily on their phone We touch our phones 2,617 times a day (that's mental) Attention spans dropped from 12 seconds to 8 seconds - less than a goldfish Every notification is engineered to trigger dopamine like a slot machine If you've found yourself doom-scrolling at 2am wondering where the last three hours went, this episode might be your wake-up call.

1:04:11

Send us a text Ever wondered what happens when two Brits spend nearly a decade living in Vietnam? Turns out you start preferring chaotic traffic that actually moves, discover that Greg's sausage rolls aren't actually worth missing, and learn that throwing prawn shells on the floor makes perfect sense. Jack and Adam share their cultural awakening stories from Southeast Asia, exploring how living between two worlds completely reshapes your perspective on everything from healthcare (same-day appointments for £2) to weddings (getting absolutely smashed by 11 am before everyone goes home). From karaoke at 9 am to rice wine before breakfast, they unpack the culture shocks that first horrify then enlighten, and why they might never be able to go back to British life. Plus, that awkward moment when your father-in-law nicks your flip-flops and you have to explain why this mortally offends your British sensibilities. 🌏 The Cultural Journey: 00:00 - Setting the scene: two Brits gone native in Vietnam 05:00 - Why throwing shells on the floor actually makes perfect sense 12:00 - How Vietnamese traffic chaos beats British motorway gridlock 19:00 - Health and safety is apparently complete bollocks (who knew?) 29:00 - The bureaucratic treasure hunt vs endless forms nightmare 36:00 - Why you don't see homeless people despite lower wages 43:00 - The community spirit that Britain seems to have lost 50:00 - When being the only white person gets properly exhausting 54:00 - Vietnamese weddings: drunk by 11am, home by lunchtime 58:00 - Healthcare that actually works (and costs next to nothing) 🇻🇳 If you've ever lived abroad and found yourself defending things you once thought were mental, you'll relate to this episode.

Raising Generation Alpha: When Your 8-Year-Old Wants a Smartphone 1:00:23

1:00:23

Send us a text When you were eight, you played in muddy ponds. Today's kids are swiping phones in their sleep. Generation Alpha is growing up in a world we barely understand. Jack and Adam explore what it means to raise the first generation of true digital natives - kids born after 2010 who've never known a world without smartphones, tablets, and algorithms designed to capture their attention. They dive into shocking stats (90% of two-year-olds already have an online presence), the constant battle parents face managing screen time, and whether today's kids will ever know the joy of building dens, rolling in hay bales, or playing in abandoned buildings full of delightfully dangerous stairlifts. From the way educational content on TikTok and YouTube is replacing traditional learning to whether Generation Alpha will even recognise real danger after growing up in games where you simply respawn after death, they unpack the strange new world of childhood where creativity might be dying but visual-spatial skills are thriving. Plus, Jack confesses to letting his daughter watch Baby Shark before realising how bad it was, Adam reminisces about adventures in chemical-filled field runoff water, and both hosts wonder if we're all just turning into miserable middle-aged men complaining about "kids these days." 🧠 What We're Banging On About: 00:00 - How 90% of two-year-olds already have an online presence 04:00 - When YouTube babysitting became society's expectation in restaurants 09:00 - The weird horror of kids swiping in their sleep 14:00 - Why Generation Alpha might never know the joy of boredom-fuelled creativity 18:00 - How today's games are too immersive to ever put down 25:00 - When TikTok becomes your primary education source 31:00 - Why physics should be taught as "do we live in multiple dimensions?" not "roll this ball down a ramp" 37:00 - The constant parental battle of saying "no screens" while everyone else says yes 45:00 - How 85% of Generation Alpha's future jobs don't even exist yet 52:00 - When your biggest childhood danger was sugar, not screen addiction 💭 If you've ever caught yourself saying "back in my day we played outside," you're not alone.

1:03:26

Send us a text Remember when showing up to the office early made you look keen, not like a muppet with nothing better to do. The days of lanyard-wearing corporate drones are dying out, and about bloody time too. Jack and Adam explore how work's changing forever, from the ways the pandemic forced companies to admit we don't need to sit in traffic for two hours just to send emails, to the looming AI revolution that's making us all wonder if we'll have jobs in five years. They share their decade-long escape from traditional employment, including that time they celebrated Jack's house move with eight pints on a random Wednesday afternoon (not suggesting that's how everyone should work from home, mind you). From the psychology of looking busy at your desk to why your heating bill's gone through the roof now your company's saved a fortune on office space, they unpack whether we're actually happier working in our pants or if we're just trading one kind of misery for another. Plus, Jack reveals his old mouse-jiggling app that kept his status green while he had an extra kip, Adam remembers being caught skiving by his Sainsbury's manager every single time, and both hosts wonder if AI therapy might actually be better because you don't have to worry about your therapist silently judging you while watching the clock. 🧠 What We're Banging On About: 00:00 - Why your boss suddenly trusted you to work from home (hint: it wasn't trust) 04:00 - How cutting your hair and walking faster got Jack promoted in three weeks 09:00 - When AI can do your job better than you without complaining about Barry from accounts 14:00 - The app that kept Jack's work status "online" while he slept off his hangover 18:00 - Why Elon Musk might actually be right to force everyone back to the office 25:00 - When Google lets you disappear for a week because they know you'll come back focused 31:00 - The one-week-a-month work model that actually makes jobs meaningful again 37:00 - How AI is replacing all the jobs that didn't even exist 25 years ago 45:00 - Why being a plumber might be safer than being a graphic designer (for now) 52:00 - The terrifying future where our only purpose is to experience things for the AI overlords 💭 If you've ever sat in a pointless meeting wondering why you couldn't just do this from your sofa at home, you're not alone.

1:03:32

Send us a text In 1985, journalists took weeks to verify a story. In 2025, AI pumps out a thousand fake ones before your coffee's even cooled. Welcome to the Information Wars - where seeing is no longer believing. This week, Jack and Adam unravel how the truth’s been hijacked by algorithms, media bias, and digital noise. From Vatican propaganda to Facebook echo chambers, they explore why misinformation spreads faster than facts - and why so many real questions get bundled up with madness just to be dismissed. You’ll hear: • How AI is creating fake news at industrial scale • Why linking conspiracy theories with lizard people discredits legit concerns • David Icke’s strange blend of insight and insanity • What the MIT study says about lies being 70% more viral than truth • How "peer-reviewed scientism" has replaced critical thinking for many • Why the pub was better at fact-checking than your feed ever will be Plus: 👉 Jack explains how Alex Jones became a smokescreen 👉 Adam wonders if David Icke might secretly work for MI5 👉 Both hosts question whether we’ll ever trust information again 🧠 What We’re Banging On About: 00:00 – AI and fake news on autopilot 04:00 – Bundling conspiracy with madness to discredit dissent 09:00 – David Icke: truth, madness, or both? 14:00 – The mainstream media’s subtle (or not) agenda 18:00 – MIT's study: why lies travel faster than facts 25:00 – "Peer-reviewed" as the new holy word 31:00 – When Facebook feeds became echo chambers 37:00 – The pub: society's old-school reality filter 45:00 – The lost art of productive disagreement 52:00 – Why Finland’s teaching media literacy to kids 💭 Ever wondered if you’re getting the real story - or just what the algorithm wants you to see?

Send us a text The internet might be full of free nudity, but millions of people are still slapping down their credit cards for OnlyFans. What's that about then... Jack and Adam dive into the weird world of OnlyFans, where people drop their hard-earned cash just to see someone's bits who they've never met and likely never will. Turns out our modern digital relationships might be a bit messed up, as blokes develop feelings for women who don't know they exist while typing one-handed. From the marketing genius behind it all to the grim reality for many creators, they explore how the average OnlyFans account makes about as much money as a paper round, while a few at the top are raking in millions. Plus, Jack admits to his "research purposes" browsing habits, Adam tries to justify not subscribing to any accounts, and both hosts reminisce about simpler times when finding a manky magazine in a bush was the height of teenage excitement. 🧠 What We're Banging On About: 00:00 - Why people pay for nudity when it's free everywhere online 04:00 - The bizarre marketing funnel of OnlyFans 09:00 - How most creators make less than £200 a month 14:00 - When finding a dodgy mag in the park bushes was peak entertainment 18:00 - The weirdly dark side of digital relationships 25:00 - Girls sleeping with 1,000 blokes and the boyfriends who don't seem bothered 31:00 - When content gets more extreme because normal stuff stops working 37:00 - Why seeing more naked people than Genghis Khan might not be healthy 45:00 - The oddly specific searches that make you worry about humanity 52:00 - Everything in moderation, especially wanking 💭 If you've ever found yourself wondering why anyone would pay for an OnlyFans subscription or why these platforms are so popular, you're not alone.

Jack and Adam dig into why our education system seems stuck in the dark ages despite all our technological progress. From those freezing cold BBC computer labs of our youth to the questionable nutritional value of "good sh*t pizza" in the school canteen, they explore their own educational mishaps and question whether today's students are getting any better preparation for a rapidly changing world. Plus, Jack shares the mental tale of his dad hitchhiking to Wales at age 9 and sleeping in a police cell, while Adam recalls how university lecturers somehow always assigned their own £40 textbooks as "essential reading."

Send us a text Ever noticed how the moment life gets a bit too comfortable, we start creating problems for ourselves? Like that mate who's got a cushy job but decides to train for an ultramarathon through actual mountains. What's that about? Jack and Adam dive into why humans are oddly drawn to stress and challenges, despite simultaneously whinging about them. Turns out our caveman brains might be so wired for problems that when sabretooth tigers aren't chasing us anymore, we start treating emails like predators instead. From the bloke who stretches at 2am (looking at you, Goggins) to why billionaires can't just chill on a beach, they explore the weird science behind why the comfiest societies often have the most depressed people, and whether our need for a bit of struggle might actually be keeping us alive. Plus, Jack shares his outrage about Costa's lid shortage crisis, and both hosts question if Australia is just one massive death trap with better weather. 🧠 What We're Banging On About: 00:00 - Why modern life's so cushy it's making us miserable 04:00 - When your brain treats an email like it's a hungry tiger 09:00 - The reason you're looking for problems even when there aren't any 13:00 - Why rich people can't just sit down and enjoy their money 17:00 - How certain struggles might actually help you live longer 26:00 - The sweet spot of stress that makes you cleverer (but not too stressed) 31:00 - David Goggins' absolutely mental 2am stretching routine 38:00 - Why that promotion feeling only lasts about three days 45:00 - First world problems vs actual problems (and why we need both) 52:00 - Choosing between being uncomfortably fit or uncomfortably unfit 💭 If you've ever found yourself deliberately making life harder just to feel something, you're not alone.

The Wealth Paradox: Why Success Makes You Crave What You Left Behind 49:53

Send us a text Why do billionaires buy farms? Tech moguls start craft businesses? Corporate lawyers open coffee shops? There's a curious pattern where those who climb highest often end up craving the simple life they left behind. Jack Austin and Adam Garcia explore "The Wealth Paradox" - that strange cycle where we chase success only to discover what we wanted might have been there all along. From David Beckham tending his vegetable garden to Vietnamese rice farmers who seem happier than City bankers, they dig into why success often leads back to simplicity. Plus, Jack shares how making more money didn't solve his problems, and both hosts confess their own "simple life" fantasies (which, unsurprisingly, still require making millions first). 🔄 The Loop We're Discussing: 00:00 - Introducing the peculiar pattern of the wealthy seeking simpler lives 01:40 - David Beckham: From football superstar to countryside farmer 03:00 - The curious contrast between happy rice farmers and miserable city bankers 04:40 - When money doesn't fix your problems (Jack's personal revelation) 07:00 - The science behind why nature makes us feel better 10:00 - Why modern architecture feels so unnatural compared to nature's patterns 15:00 - Alan Watts and the bag with nothing inside (the promise that never delivers) 19:00 - The Christmas morning effect: excitement followed by emptiness 24:00 - How different cultures define success (hint: it's not always about money) 31:00 - The hypocrisy of "going back to nature" with a billion in the bank 38:00 - Can you skip the journey and go straight to contentment? 42:00 - Testing the "simple life" fantasy (wait, we still want running water and WiFi) 49:00 - What technology might mean for this cycle in the future 🌱 If this episode made you question your own ambitions while simultaneously planning your future countryside mansion, subscribe for more conversations that explore the contradictions of modern life. 🌐 Pop over to temporallyscripted.com where we've collected stories of people who found fulfillment in unexpected places. #UK #podcast #temporallyscripted Subscribe to our channel on YouTube Check out our website at temporallyscripted.com Follow us on X, too!…

Send us a text Ever wondered what happens when two Brits spend a decade in Southeast Asia? Turns out they start missing Gregg's sausage rolls and random conversations with strangers, while definitely not missing the Friday night fights. Jack Austin and Adam Garcia unpack what it's like viewing their homeland from afar, exploring how distance changes perspective and whether the British dream (if there ever was one) is still alive in today's world. From drunken pub quizzes to the eye-watering price of a pint, they're getting nostalgic about the good bits of Blighty while taking a brutally honest look at why they left and what might tempt them back (spoiler: not much). Plus, Jack reveals the rather dramatic circumstances that led to his exit from the UK involving two soldiers, a glass bottle, and a life-changing court case. 🇬🇧 What We're Banging On About: 00:00 - Setting the scene for our anglicised adventure 02:00 - Jack's dramatic exit story involving soldiers and self-defense 05:00 - The stark contrast of experiencing COVID in Vietnam vs the UK 08:00 - What we actually miss (Greg's sausage rolls and conversations with strangers) 13:00 - The humble port scratching: a uniquely British delicacy 15:00 - That underlying tension in British nightlife that could kick off at any moment 20:00 - The warrior DNA that makes Brits love a good rumble 24:00 - The current state of the UK and its concerning economic decline 31:00 - How news and social media create divisive noise without solutions 38:00 - Britain's identity crisis and the loss of assimilation 44:00 - The striking poverty statistics they don't want you to see 51:00 - Political memes and the lettuce that outlasted a Prime Minister 54:00 - Would we ever return?

Send us a text The robots aren't coming - they're already here. And they're writing your emails, making your dinner plans, and possibly eyeing up your job. Jack Austin and Adam Garcia dive into the AI revolution that's happening right under our noses, exploring both the mind-blowing possibilities and the frankly terrifying implications of machines that can think (almost) like us. From the bloke in the call centre who might be out of work by Christmas to the surgeon who could be replaced by something that doesn't get hangovers, we're asking the big questions about where humanity fits in an increasingly automated world. Plus, we ponder whether AI will ever truly understand what makes us human - or if that's even the point anymore. 🧠 What We're Nattering About: 00:00 - The AI revolution that's already transforming our daily lives 04:00 - How frighteningly good AI has become in just a couple of years 08:00 - When your job is officially on the chopping block (sorry, call centre workers) 13:00 - The time ChatGPT suggested using OnlyFans for a YouTube economics channel 17:00 - Why an AI doctor might diagnose you better than a human one with relationship troubles 20:00 - How AI could revolutionise mental health support (without clock-watching) 26:00 - The existential crisis of having no economic purpose in an AI world 34:00 - Whether AI will ever create genuinely moving art or just well-structured imitations 42:00 - The terrifying energy consumption of all these AI systems 48:00 - Some properly brilliant uses for AI (like wasting scammers' time for 40 minutes) 🤖 If this episode made you want to learn to code before the machines take over, subscribe for more conversations about the rapidly changing world around us. We promise to keep questioning everything, even when the robots start questioning us back. 🌐 Pop over to temporallyscripted.com for more episodes, AI fails, and to learn about Daisy the scam-baiting AI granny. #AIRevolution #FutureOfWork #ChatGPT #TemporallyScripted #PodcastShow #TechTrends #AIFails Subscribe to our channel on YouTube Check out our website at temporallyscripted.com Follow us on X, too!…

The Intelligence Paradox 44:45

לפני 16 weeks44:45

44:45

Send us a text Ever wondered if being properly clever might actually make you a bit miserable? (And no, we're not just saying that to make ourselves feel better about our own brains.) Jack Austin and Adam Garcia are tackling the bizarre paradox of intelligence and happiness - where apparently having more processing power upstairs might mean you've got fewer reasons to smile about life in general. Bit depressing, that. We're chatting about everything from how the military won't even let you get shot at if your IQ's too low, to why the bloke who can't imagine skipping breakfast might actually be living his best life. Plus, some properly eye-opening stuff about why your smart mate keeps having existential crises at 3am while the happy-go-lucky ones are sleeping like babies. Fair warning: This episode might confirm what you've always suspected - that overthinking absolutely everything might not be the path to contentment... or is it? (See what we did there? Classic overthinking.) 🧠 The Bits We Waffle On About: 00:00 - Kicking off with the cold hard truth about brains and blues 02:00 - What actually goes into your IQ score (and why one of us is rubbish at one bit) 04:00 - Why the US military draws the line at an IQ of 83 (it's grimmer than you think) 07:00 - That awkward moment when low-IQ folk can't imagine hypothetical breakfasts 10:00 - How being proper smart might mean you're aware of just how rubbish everything is 13:00 - The "ignorance is bliss" chat (and why it's probably actually true) 15:00 - Does being clever mean you're destined for a better job but a sadder life? 17:00 - When intelligence testing becomes a touchy subject (unlike football) 19:00 - Are we putting too much stock in some arbitrary numbers? 21:00 - Why that village kid who can butcher a chicken at age 8 might be smarter than all of us 🤔 If this episode's made you question whether getting smarter is actually worth the grief, subscribe for more existential crises disguised as mate chat. We'll keep overthinking absolutely everything so you don't have to. 🌐 Pop over to temporallyscripted.com for more episodes where we make each other laugh while simultaneously questioning the very fabric of existence. #IntelligenceParadox #IQvHappiness #IgnoranceIsBliss #TemporallyScripted #PodcastShow #SmartPeopleProblems #BritishPodcast #HappinessStudies #MentalHealth #OverthinkingLife Subscribe to our channel on YouTube Check out our website at temporallyscripted.com Follow us on X, too!…

The Musk Matrix 58:02

58:02

Send us a text Ever wondered what happens when one bloke gets his fingers in virtually every technological pie going? (And yes, we mean the man who could probably buy all the actual pies too.) Jack Austin and Adam Garcia are unpacking the bizarre phenomenon that is Elon Musk - a fella who's somehow managed to accumulate more influence than entire governments while tweeting memes and playing video games. Bit mad, really. We're nattering about everything from his early days with that ridiculously successful PayPal crew to how he's got himself a cushy government job after chucking a few quid at the right campaign. Plus, some properly jaw-dropping tales about his wealth that'll have you wondering if your meagre savings account is just a cosmic joke. Heads up: Even if you think the man's a genius or a menace, his story raises some proper questions about whether anyone should have this much clout... doesn't it? 🔵 What We're Banging On About: 00:00 - The absolutely mental level of influence one South African programmer has accumulated 05:00 - His knack for making every process ridiculously more efficient than anyone thought possible 09:00 - The PayPal gang that basically owns half the internet now 13:00 - How he's made boring tunnels significantly less boring (and a lot cheaper) 19:00 - Is he actually a genius or just brilliant at finding people who are? 26:00 - When his random social media posts cause entire markets to have kittens 32:00 - The Cybertruck: revolutionary vehicle or something a six-year-old designed? 38:00 - Mind-boggling wealth that makes entire nations look a bit skint 42:00 - The whole Twitter/X saga and free speech palaver 48:00 - What it means when a single bloke has this much sway over our collective future 🧠 If this episode left you feeling slightly concerned about the concentration of power, subscribe for more uncomfortable truths wrapped in mate-to-mate banter. We'll keep asking the awkward questions, even when we're not entirely sure we want the answers. 🌐 Fancy more of our nonsense?

The Simulation Situation 51:50

Send us a text Right, shall we question everything we think we know about reality? Jack Austin and Adam Garcia are digging into simulation theory - where we might all be living in a sophisticated computer program, and Elon Musk reckons there's only a one-in-a-billion chance we're not. No pressure then. We're chatting about everything from Google's quantum computer that makes the universe look a bit slow, to how the ancient Egyptians were suspiciously good at building massive triangles without even having invented the wheel. Plus, some properly unsettling psychedelic experiences that'll have you side-eyeing your mates wondering if they're NPCs. Spoiler: Even if this is all just code in some cosmic computer, at least we can't blue-screen our way out of existence... right? 🔍 Key Moments: 00:00 - Kicking off with Elon's wild "one in a billion" simulation claims 02:00 - How Google's quantum computer is making the universe look a bit slow 09:00 - Ancient Egyptians building pyramids (without wheels, the show-offs) 14:00 - When The Sims gets too real (confessions of digital torture) 20:00 - The déjà vu dilemma: glitch in the Matrix or just your brain being weird? 26:00 - That awkward moment when drugs make you think everyone else is an NPC 33:00 - Why love might be the only cheat code worth using in this cosmic game 38:00 - Things that make you go "hmm" (like how infinity works both ways) 42:00 - Netflix's questionable moral compass (violence good, other stuff bad?) 48:00 - Why it might not matter if we're in The Matrix anyway 🎮 If this episode made your brain hurt, subscribe for more existential crises disguised as casual chats.

Jack Austin and Adam Garcia are diving into the proper mess that is modern life - where we're more likely to get our dopamine hit from a Instagram like than a ciggy behind the pub. We're chatting about everything from why your kids have American accents (cheers, Cocomelon) to whether social media is actually worse for you than a proper night down the local.
