Send us Fan MailA 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.CHAPTERS00:00 Cold open01:30 Mandelson fast-tracked — will Starmer survive?05:00 UK burns through PMs like football managers10:00 Europe's jet fuel is running out16:00 AI hype, subsidised models & the coming crash22:00 Half of young Brits would refuse to fight28:00 Beijing's robot half marathon33:00 Bear costume insurance fraud gone wrong36:00 TOP 5: Accidental discoveries that changed the world50:00 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 #NewsPodcastSubscribe to our channel on YouTubeCheck out our website at temporallyscripted.comFollow us on X, too!

Send us Fan MailAI 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.CHAPTERS00:00 Cold open01:00 AI deepfakes are fooling voters08:00 Trump posts himself as Jesus (accidentally?)14:00 One in five UK teens self-censoring online20:00 Starmer summons tech CEOs to stop the scroll27:00 Lidl opens a pub32:00 Man jailed for smuggling 2,000 ants34:00 14 tequilas, one cruise, $300K compensation40:00 Man loses 12-foot emotional support alligator44:00 TOP 5: Greatest acts of espionage in history58:00 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 #TopFiveSubscribe to our channel on YouTubeCheck out our website at temporallyscripted.comFollow us on X, too!

Send us Fan MailNASA 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.CHAPTERS00:00 Cold open01:30 Artemis: the $30 million space toilet that broke08:00 What astronauts actually eat in space15:30 Claude Code leaks onto the Wayback Machine20:00 AI swearing detection & the customer service loop23:30 The Social Dilemma & AI manipulation at scale26:00 Mythos, Sam Altman, and who can be trusted37:00 Did Claude Mythos escape its sandbox?41:30 Quantum computing & the coming encryption apocalypse47:30 The fake AI doctor "billionaire" scandal51:00 TOP 5: Greatest heists of all time1:06:30 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 #NewsPodcastSubscribe to our channel on YouTubeCheck out our website at temporallyscripted.comFollow us on X, too!

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.New episodes every week.

We're talking treason-level allegations here.This week on Temporarily Scripted, we're unpacking the Andrew investigation, why the "safely released" WhatsApp messages from cabinet ministers are anything but safe, and whether insider trading at the top is just how the game works (spoiler: it probably is, but that doesn't make it okay).Then we're diving into AI psychosis — the guy who spiraled so hard into ChatGPT dependence he ended up homeless.
