Temporally Scripted

Temporally Scripted

Ever notice how the people who claim to have all the answers usually have the most boring lives? We spent our twenties in underground clubs and festival fields, then built businesses in Vietnam. Now we're watching Western culture implode from 8,000 miles away. From historical figures to simulation theory, from AI's impact to why clever people often end up miserable - we tackle questions that keep curious minds awake. We're not experts claiming to have it all figured out, just two guys navigating a complicated world. This isn't about optimisation or morning routines. This is for people who know the best insights come from strange places. New episodes of Temporally Scripted are available every Saturday. Join your slightly questionable guides to personal growth. Your reality might never be the same.

    BEAR COSTUME INSURANCE FRAUD GONE WRONG

    Send us Fan Mail A World War II veteran says he regrets fighting for Britain.  Half of young Brits say they wouldn't do it either. Jack and  Adam sit with that one longer than usual — and it turns into  the most honest five minutes the show's had. Before that: Peter Mandelson's vetting got fast-tracked and  nobody in government wants to explain why, the UK is burning  through prime ministers faster than a Championship side burns  through managers, and Europe has roughly six weeks of jet fuel  left before flights start getting grounded for real. Then it's robots. Beijing ran a half marathon with 300  humanoid robots in a separate lane, and one of them just beat  every human time on record.  Three men in America got sentenced  for dressing up in a bear suit and scratching their own Rolls  Royce with Wolverine claws to claim insurance. A wildlife  biologist was called in to confirm it wasn't a real bear. The Top 5 is accidental discoveries that changed the world —  penicillin found in mouldy petri dishes, X-rays discovered by  a man who died of cancer, cosmic background radiation mistaken  for pigeon shit, and the reason nobody returned their Viagra  trial tablets. CHAPTERS 00:00 Cold open 01:30 Mandelson fast-tracked — will Starmer survive? 05:00 UK burns through PMs like football managers 10:00 Europe's jet fuel is running out 16:00 AI hype, subsidised models & the coming crash 22:00 Half of young Brits would refuse to fight 28:00 Beijing's robot half marathon 33:00 Bear costume insurance fraud gone wrong 36:00 TOP 5: Accidental discoveries that changed the world 50:00 Wrap up 🎙 New episodes every week 👍 Like, subscribe and share if you enjoyed 💬 Drop your hot takes in the comments #TemporarilyScripted #Podcast #Mandelson #KeirStarmer  #JetFuel #AIBubble #RobotMarathon #InsuranceFraud  #BearCostume #Penicillin #Viagra #BritishPodcast  #ComedyPodcast #NewsPodcast Subscribe to our channel on YouTube Check out our website at temporallyscripted.com Follow us on X, too!

    SHE DRANK 14 TEQUILAS & GOT $300K ...plus deepfake politicians & a 12ft support alligator

    Send us Fan Mail AI deepfakes are now good enough that people genuinely can't  tell if a politician said something or not. That's where we  start this week. Jack and Adam break down how AI-generated videos of Starmer  and Trump are being used to manipulate political opinion, why  one in five UK teenagers are now too scared to share their  views online, and whether Keir Starmer summoning tech CEOs to  Downing Street to "stop the scroll" is theatre or policy. Then things get weirder. A woman in California drank 14  tequila shots on a Carnival cruise, fell over, and walked  away with $300,000 in compensation.  A man in New York lost a  two-year legal battle to keep his 12-foot emotional support  alligator called Albert. A Chinese man got jailed in Kenya  for smuggling 2,000 ants in specialised tubes. And Lidl — yes,  the supermarket — is opening a pub. The Top 5 this week is greatest acts of espionage in history,  featuring the Cambridge Five, the Zimmerman Telegram that  dragged America into WWI, and the genius who invented an  entire fictional spy network and got awarded medals by both  sides. CHAPTERS 00:00 Cold open 01:00 AI deepfakes are fooling voters 08:00 Trump posts himself as Jesus (accidentally?) 14:00 One in five UK teens self-censoring online 20:00 Starmer summons tech CEOs to stop the scroll 27:00 Lidl opens a pub 32:00 Man jailed for smuggling 2,000 ants 34:00 14 tequilas, one cruise, $300K compensation 40:00 Man loses 12-foot emotional support alligator 44:00 TOP 5: Greatest acts of espionage in history 58:00 Wrap up 🎙 New episodes every week 👍 Like, subscribe and share if you enjoyed 💬 Drop your hot takes in the comments #TemporarilyScripted #Podcast #Deepfakes #AINews #Trump  #KeirStarmer #Espionage #ColdWar #OperationMincemeat  #BritishPodcast #ComedyPodcast #NewsPodcast #TopFive Subscribe to our channel on YouTube Check out our website at temporallyscripted.com Follow us on X, too!

    NASA'S $30 MILLION TOILET BROKE ...plus Claude leaked & a fake AI doctor "billionaire"

    Send us Fan Mail NASA spent $30 million on a space toilet. It broke halfway to  the moon. There's a burning smell. Nobody knows why. This week on Temporarily Scripted, Jack and Adam dig into the  Artemis re-entry, the most expensive bog in human history, and  what the astronauts are actually surviving on up there — 189  food items, 43 cups of coffee, and five different hot sauces  that may or may not be the source of the smell. Then it gets properly weird. Anthropic's Claude Code source  code accidentally leaked onto the Wayback Machine last week,  meaning anyone who grabbed it in time can now build their own  version on top of a cheaper model.  Claude's new Mythos model  reportedly broke out of its sandbox — with blackmail material  in tow. And quantum computing is edging closer to the point  where every bank, every Bitcoin wallet, and every encrypted  message on earth becomes readable overnight. We also get into the "one-man billionaire" headline that turned  out to be a guy running an army of fake AI doctors with  Angolan phone numbers, and finish with the Top 5 greatest  heists of all time — including Saddam Hussein walking $1.6  billion out of the central bank in cardboard boxes, the Antwerp  diamond job foiled by women's hairspray, and a 76-year-old  pensioner who pulled the biggest burglary in English legal  history while reading Forensics For Dummies. Honest, unfiltered, and probably uncensorable. CHAPTERS 00:00 Cold open 01:30 Artemis: the $30 million space toilet that broke 08:00 What astronauts actually eat in space 15:30 Claude Code leaks onto the Wayback Machine 20:00 AI swearing detection & the customer service loop 23:30 The Social Dilemma & AI manipulation at scale 26:00 Mythos, Sam Altman, and who can be trusted 37:00 Did Claude Mythos escape its sandbox? 41:30 Quantum computing & the coming encryption apocalypse 47:30 The fake AI doctor "billionaire" scandal 51:00 TOP 5: Greatest heists of all time 1:06:30 Wrap up 🎙 New episodes every week 👍 Like, subscribe and share if you enjoyed 💬 Drop your hot takes in the comments #TemporarilyScripted #Podcast #ArtemisMission #SpaceToilet  #ClaudeCode #Anthropic #SamAltman #AINews #QuantumComputing  #Bitcoin #Heists #BritishPodcast #ComedyPodcast #NewsPodcast Subscribe to our channel on YouTube Check out our website at temporallyscripted.com Follow us on X, too!

    DID WE FAKE THE MOON LANDING? ...plus Meta fined $375M & a 194-year-old tortoise crypto scam

    Send us Fan Mail The boys are back after a two-week break and the world hasn't  got any saner.  This week on Temporarily Scripted, Jack and Adam  unpack the Artemis moon mission (and ask whether we even went  the first time), the knock-on chaos from the Iran war hitting  UK petrol prices and medicine supplies, and Meta's $375 million  fine in New Mexico for harming kids on Facebook, Instagram and  WhatsApp.  Plus: a Hackney pub bans children, Jonathan the  194-year-old tortoise gets caught up in a crypto scam, and our  Top 5 greatest April Fools pranks pulled by global brands —  including Burger King's left-handed Whopper and Terry's  emergency chocolate orange phone case. Honest, unfiltered, and probably uncensorable. Two blokes, the  week's weirdest news, zero corporate polish. CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome back 02:30 Artemis moon mission — did we even go?  03:15 Iran war fallout: petrol, flights & UK medicine shortages  08:30 Life in space: exercise, wet farts & deadlift records  10:30 Did we actually land on the moon?  18:30 UK medicine shortages & "never waste a good crisis"  24:30 The digital nomad coffee shop problem  33:00 Meta fined $375M for harming kids  43:30 Hackney pub bans children — fair or not?  48:30 Jonathan the 194-year-old tortoise vs the crypto scammers  51:30 TOP 5: Greatest brand April Fools pranks ever  59:30 Wrap up 🎙 New episodes every week 👍 Like, subscribe and share if you enjoyed 💬 Drop your hot takes in the comments #TemporarilyScripted #Podcast #ArtemisMoonMission  #MoonLandingConspiracy #MetaFine #MarkZuckerberg #IranWar  #UKNews #AprilFools #BritishPodcast #ComedyPodcast  #NewsPodcast #Conspiracy Subscribe to our channel on YouTube Check out our website at temporallyscripted.com Follow us on X, too!

    Banksy Identity Revealed, Meningitis Outbreak & Goldfish Breaks Driving Record

    Send us Fan Mail Banksy's been unmasked. Reuters did a massive investigation and traced him back to an original arrest 20-30 years ago, plus eyewitness lineups in Ukraine.  The mystery artist might actually be Robin Gunning (later David Jones). We're diving into whether the anonymity made him more valuable than the actual art. This week on Temporally Scripted, we're covering the meningitis outbreak in Kent (20 cases, 2 deaths, and it's giving us flashbacks to being kids), China's approved brain-computer implant that's basically Neuralink but Chinese, AI giving dangerously confident but wrong medical advice (like shoving garlic up your arse for immune health), and a woman suing Ribena for £20K after a bottle exploded in her "high spec passive house." Then we're talking about Elon Musk's vision for Neuralink being the only way humanity survives AI, whether wine and art are massively overpriced status symbols, and a goldfish called Blurb who set a Guinness World Record by driving a motion-sensored car 12.28 meters. Plus: our Top 5 Psychic Predictions That Allegedly Came True — from Jean Dixon predicting JFK's assassination to Nostradamus and the death of Henry II. New episodes every week.

    Oil Hits $100 A Barrel, AI Costs $600 Billion & Woman Gets 13 Years For 25-Year Captivity

    Send us Fan Mail Oil's over $100 a barrel and we've all had to trade our cars for bicycles. Well, not really, but fuel prices are mental and Vietnam's government just abolished fuel duty while the UK is... raising it. Brilliant. This week on Temporally Scripted, we're covering why Trump keeps saying the Iran war will be "over tomorrow" (narrator: it wasn't), Starmer knowing about Mandelson's Epstein connections before hiring him, the Greens winning a by-election promising to legalize everything, and why AI infrastructure is about to cost $600 billion in 2026. Then we're diving into Elon Musk's plan for orbital data centers powered by solar satellites (mining the moon for raw materials, naturally), news outlets recycling stories from 2017 and pretending they're new, a woman who kept another woman captive for 25 years only getting 13 years in prison, and lab-grown foie gras getting UK safety approval. Plus: why middle management pay hasn't increased while pot washers now earn £25K, universal basic income speculation, and our Top 5 Shockingly Expensive Substances On Earth — from antimatter at $62.5 trillion per gram to saffron at $3,800 per kilo.

    America Invades Iran, Police Work From Home & $23K Cat Feeding Hustle

    Send us Fan Mail America's gone into Iran, killed the Supreme Leader, and sent an armada to the Middle East. We're breaking down what's actually happening, the insane cost of shooting down $20K drones with $3M missiles, and whether this turns into another decades-long mess like Iraq and Afghanistan. This week on Temporally Scripted, we're covering the Iran situation (and why Trump's midterms might depend on it), Ed Davey saying tax exiles in Dubai don't deserve help getting home, a UK police sergeant fired for using a picture frame to hold down laptop keys while "working from home," and why the British government fundamentally doesn't care about expats. Then we're talking about a pet worker who made $23,000 in 8 days feeding cats during Lunar New Year, an Australian Pastafarian fighting to keep his colander driving license photo, and our Top 5 Japanese-Only Emotions — words for feelings we don't have in English, from the ache of impermanence to buying books you'll never read. Plus: Winston Churchill's daily alcohol intake (it's alarming), why South Korea went from nothing to economic powerhouse while Iran went backwards, and whether working harder actually makes you luckier.

    BBC Left Tourette's Slur Unedited For 12 Hours & Thai Police Dress As Lions To Catch Criminals

    Send us Fan Mail Prince Andrew's is now banned from riding horses. Because nothing says "I'm innocent" like giving up your favorite hobby on PR advice from your team. This week on Temporally Scripted, we're diving deeper into the Epstein files (it gets darker), the BAFTA Awards Tourette's incident that the BBC "accidentally" left unedited for 12 hours, and UK police now using Palantir AI to analyze digital evidence - because what could go wrong? Then we're talking about Google Maps labeling businesses as "woman-owned" and "LGBTQ+ friendly" (mate, everywhere should be), UK dual nationality passports now costing £589, Thai police catching burglars while dressed as a lion dance crew, and a Sicilian genius who trained his dog to fly-tip for him. Plus: why the UK is fundamentally broken with 70 million people and systems designed for 58 million, virtual reality as population control, and our Top 5 Ice Age Animals That Sound Fake But Were Real - including a 4-ton ground sloth and beavers the size of bears.
