In this episode of the Shut Up I’m Talking, TommyInnit and Badlinu look back on childhood memories, revisiting all the mischief they used to get up to, and begin to question whether Tom is a good friend.

Jack reveals he learned to ride a penny-farthing bike—taught by the same instructor who trained Max Fosh, and Freddie shares the story of how his 10,000 calorie challenge inspired by the Sidemen almost ended in disaster.

The boys open up about their flaws, get real about their friendship, and start to question whether Jack Manifold might actually be evil.
