JaackMaate’s Happy Hour

Robbie has been fighting children, Stevie has been fighting parents, and Jaack has been fighting his bathroom sink - we’re back from our break with an All Caught Up! Stevie has found the biggest c**t in the world at his kid’s sports day… and for once, it wasn’t himself. Jaack befriended an 80 year old man in a gym changing room. Speaking of old men, Robbie is potentially experiencing a mid-life crisis but we’re not sure if we should be worried or impressed by his new hobby? Jaack reveals how a handful of pennies brought him to tears. Plus Jaack and Stevie show off their brand new matching tattoos, but Robbie points out their horrendous double meaning… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Welcome back to the learning pod. Get ready to absorb ALL the knowledge. Stevie has brought another batch of creations from throughout history, and it’s up to Jaack and Robbie to decide whether they’re strokes of genius, or deeply cursed. We learn why it’s probably not very smart to drink radioactive medicine. We hear about how a bloke from the 14th century tried to get to the moon. And we discover the device that will revolutionise your baby’s mealtimes. There’s a solution (that might save lives but ruin yours) to stop people setting off fire alarms as a prank, and a creation so terrible it was discontinued before it even launched. There’s also aquatic animals with wheels, hands-free guns, dog soldiers, and stationary for space. Check out #566 for Part 1! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

What’s better than a double main show week? A double FOURSKINS main show week! We posted 21 polls to Twitter and asked our audience to vote on which of the four hosts is ‘most likely to’ for each scenario. We have a lot to say about the final results… Who’s most likely to: break a world record, clap when the plane lands, give a great lap dance, fall for an online scam, forget their best friend’s birthday, and more.

The boys are donning their shit shirts (Robbie picked out a regular shirt from his wardrobe) and locking horns over nine quiz rounds.

Today on the show, we welcome the one and only StevoTheMadMan - ex-pro footballer turned grime music producer turned Snapchat king! If you’ve ever laughed at a chaotic family video, seen a man pierce his belly button to teach a parenting lesson, or watched someone wax the skin off their balls for content… it was probably Stevo. We dive deep into the unlikely path that led him down his varied career. Stevo chats behind-the-scenes West Ham stories, his accidental face tattoo, and his break-up with long term partner Emma. Stevo also shares how he had a near miss with a gun, and why he fed Chris Eubank Sr his first ever KFC! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Human creativity has no limits, but maybe sometimes it should have. In a new series, Stevie has found a collection of unique inventions from throughout history and it’s up to Jaack and Robbie to decide which are deemed good or bad. There’s a device to help people tackle their bad eating habits, but it accidentally doubles as something else. We hear about a car that unexpectedly self destructs, a robot to assist hungry marathon runners and an invention that tragically killed its creator. Plus clothes that double as cleaners, cutlery that electrocutes you and cages for children. You’ve heard of the Happy Hour Hall Of Fame, now it’s time for the Hall of Shame, filled with bad ideas with even worse execution… Learn more about your ad choices.

Car boot sales. Charity shop shelves. Lynx Africa gift sets. For most people, it’s junk. For Josh Wright AKA ClickWright - it’s gold. He’s an expert in turning trash to cash and has amassed a staggering number of followers because of his unconventional job as a full time reseller.

Welcome to the 2025 edition of the annual Jaack and Stevie Q&A where the boys are here to dish some brutally honest answers to your questions! We reveal the reason we don’t call guests out on their controversial past during their interview, the closest we’ve been to quitting the podcast, and what we’re planning to release after Robbie has died… Why can’t we cover topical news stories? What’s the future of Stevie’s Urban Legends segment? Studio rebrands? Retirement plans? Another tour? Jaack has a scathing call out for not just one, not just two, but THREE people in this episode. PLUS after weeks of teasers, the boys can finally reveal what their secret project is! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

One Man. 5,000 Takeaways. Zero Salads. It’s a strange business model but Matt - creator of Food Review Club - has managed to make it his livelihood due to his genuine passion for speaking about food. The brutally honest takeaway taster has spent the last 7 years travelling the globe in search of hidden gems and shares with us the few places he’s ever dared to rate a full 10. Matt reveals where the best pizza, fish and chips, sandwich and burger are in the UK, as well as some must-visit London eats. He designs his dream fast food combo, and we cover viral food trends like Spudman, Binley Mega Chippy and Dubai chocolate. Did he like Salt Bae’s steak? What about food from Jeremy Clarkson’s farm? And how would he rate Wetherspoons food? Matt tells us why a Norwich eatery had to close down after he visited, why Dave Portnoy might hate him and the worst place he’s ever reviewed whose food he describes as nearly inedible! Matt also shares his honest opinion on fellow food reviewers BlueVanMan and Gary Eats (who gave Matt a scathing review). And after RateMyTakeaway recently called him out, he also addresses the claims he has scammed his viewers by charging establishments for reviews, and the backlash from his leaked voice note.

The boys are donning their metaphorical priest hats and inviting the listeners to step into the confessional booth and share their deepest and darkest sins. From unconventional celebrity crushes, to gay animals, to eating toenails, to bizarre role playing… will forgiveness be granted? Is it okay for a personal trainer to deny their steroid use? Which footballer was caught stealing from a hardware store? Is Jaack starting an Only Fans? Plus Stevie reveals how he accidentally got his 8 year old son into crack.

Tattoo artist and body mod icon Grace Neutral sits down for a brutally honest deep dive into the world of extreme body modification. Spending her childhood training as a ballerina, her life drastically changed direction after discovering the punk scene. Grace talks us through her own body mod procedures - none of which are actually legal - from a split tongue, to pixie ears, to tattooed eyeballs, to a removed belly button. Grace delves into how kink and mental illness have an impact on people seeking out body modifications. She shares which of her mods she regrets, and her family’s opinion on her transformation. We get into her early days as a piercer, the sketchy ethics of underground modding, and how deeply misogynistic tattoo shop culture can be. We learn about an 107 year old tattoo artist, and the man whose mods are too extreme even for Grace! We also learn about sounding, scarification, and what it’s like to eat your own skin… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Shenanigans is shenani-gone. The wolf went hungry, and starved to death. Someone ripped his f*cking arms off. Robbie has died of old age (just kidding, but he is really old). In this episode, Jaack and Stevie are planning Robbie's 'dream' funeral. From the entrance song, to the dress code, to surprise guests, to the food and music choices at the wake, the boys have complete free rein and Robbie has to choose which option he would prefer for his final send-off. What does his coffin look like? What should his gravestone say? And most importantly... how did he die?! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week, Jaack and Stevie are joined by the band that defined their teenage years - The Kooks! Luke Pritchard and Hugh Harris talk us through their early days at BRIT school, getting signed by Virgin Records at just 16 years old (too young to legally sign a contract!), and dealing with the fame that came practically overnight. With no plans to even be a singer, Luke tells us which songs were unexpected viral hits, why he was kicked out of his own gig, and what happens when Rolling Stone gives your debut album a scathing review… Hugh shares the absolutely ridiculous band name suggestion that was turned down, why he wasn’t a fan of their huge hit ‘Naive’, and the unconventional place he chose to write the new album. The boys reveal their pre-show rituals, mad rider demands, and the most rock-and-roll thing they’ve ever done. There’s also a UFO sighting and a ghostly encounter thrown in. Ooh la!

There’s genuine biological superpowers that could give Hardest Geezer a run for his money, a historical figure with an extremely unfortunate name, and a one-in-a-million medical oddity that was only discovered post mortem… Check out #411, #461 and #488 for the previous instalments of Alfie’s Amazing Indraviduals!

Dominic Milton Trott isn’t your stereotypical drug taker but having self-administered 182 different substances, he is, without a doubt, one of the most experienced. As the author of The Drug User’s Bible, Dominic has turned his substance-taking adventures into a mission to promote safety and knowledge. In Part 1 of his interview, we discover how a well-spoken computer nerd made his fortune and first dabbled in drugs. We learn what a psychonaut is, how to access the dark web, ways to ensure your drug purchase is safe, and tricks to get yourself out of a bad trip. Dominic shares which common kitchen-cupboard substance can produce an intense high, how a milkshake once triggered a bad trip, and the one drug he would NEVER touch again. He also tells us about his decade-long project: a book that chronicles his personal drug experiments—from ayahuasca to DMT to spice.

Jaack, Stevie and Robbie are debating YOUR unpopular opinions, from beer to bedtimes to baked beans. Are streaming services one big scam? Have Nando’s lost the plot on pricing? Are Marvel movies missing the mark? The boys are discussing if it’s ever okay to share hygiene products with strangers, whether straight men can watch RuPaul’s Drag Race, and if crisps are the most cursed food going.

It’s Andy Goldstein’s second appearance in the Happy Hour studio - and this time he’s going head to head with Stevie in a game of “Would You Lie To Me?”. With his luscious locks and quick wit, this is Stevie’s toughest opponent to date as he has to decipher whether Andy’s stories are true or lies. Did Liam Gallagher interrupt his summer barbecue? Did a controversial on-air prank lead to him getting a Guinness World Record? Did he once turn down a date with a Hollywood actress? Did a famous footballer give him a bespoke nickname? Plus, we ask him to rate his fellow talkSPORT hosts from best to worst, he gives us an exclusive of a new product he’s about to launch, and Andy and Jaack speak about their upcoming sporting challenge involving PieFace and an INSANE bet.

Stevie has sprung a surprise quiz on Jaack and Alfie after learning some new trivia! He has a bunch of wild facts (and a few fibs) to test their knowledge and blow their tiny minds. Do redheads require more anaesthetic? Can flamingos deliver mail in Miami? Do sausages make good lifejackets? Is it impossible to deafen a chicken? The boys battle it out for fact supremacy while going off on the usual chaotic tangents. Play along and prove that you have a few more brain cells than Jaack!

We’re joined by highly requested chaotic comedian Jamie Hutchinson, in an episode that covers everything from his weird solo hobbies, to his horse racing obsession, to the unconventional way he deals with hecklers. He temporarily became the fastest human on the planet, has beef with the producers of a famous TV show, and once breastfed a guy on stage. We find out why he completely rebranded himself as "Hutchy" in Year 5, and why his family fell out over a nose job. He confesses how he nearly killed a young girl, and all the chance encounters that led him to unexpectedly finding love, including having his heart broken in a soft play… We also test his knowledge of Manchester slang, and force him to react to his own hate comments! There’s fake darts tournaments, fruit-based business pitches, Football Manager chat, and the age-old question: how many 6-year-olds could Jamie fight at once? It’s wild, it’s unhinged, it’s Hutchy.

Pet peeves. Bugbears. Irritating things that grind your gears. We all have at least one — and this week, the boys are airing them all out. From cyclists who play by their own rules (Cycling Mikey), to people who wear Crocs in public (Angry Ginge), to when someone inspects your phone pics like a forensic analyst (Jaack’s Nan). Instagram models, urinal etiquette, rude road users, ATM annoyances, salad tits, and the eternal question of where Jaack’s balls go when he’s on the toilet. Plus public transport, pet names, and the terrifying pubic consequences of period pad wings. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Russ Cook - AKA The Hardest Geezer - graces the studio for his hat trick ball, and he’s definitely more alert than when we last saw him after completing his run across the length of Africa! Russ weighs in on some “Am I The Asshole” scenarios and he provides some much needed tough love. There’s a creative way to get revenge on some coffee shop Karens, a bizarre reason for not respecting your partner’s grandparents, and an awkward love triangle involving family members. We hear about a girlfriend who ruined Christmas, but were her actions justified? How about sabotaging a sporting challenge, just because your friend was overly confident? And there’s a woman who had to take drastic action against her mother-in-law outstaying her welcome… Russ also responds to accusations that he cheated his way through his Africa challenge, and reacts to Jamie Laing’s ultra marathon feat.

Following on from episode #546, we’re spinning the wheel of 1,000 random things and deciding whether they’re considered truly overrated or unfairly underrated.

After waking up in a Columbian hospital following a mysterious accident, battling life threatening injuries and an imminent leg amputation, Luke Tarrant had a million questions. Is this a real hospital? Could social media save his leg? What actually happened? But the answers would have to wait as things took a turn for the worse with sepsis beginning to set in… Despite the unlucky chain of events, the incredibly optimistic Luke still refers to himself as ‘lucky’. Luke’s sheer determination and beautiful outlook on life is not only inspirational, but humorous and self deprecating. Jaack and Stevie ask Luke questions they would normally be too scared to ask a recent amputee. What does phantom pain feel like? What are the benefits of having one leg? Where did your amputated limb end up? Luke doesn’t shy away from a single question. Happy Hour Life Stories are back. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Inspired by a controversial magazine article from the 90s, Jaack has created a new series which he has creatively called “Overrated Or Underrated”. The boys have to debate whether a number of random things are considered - you guessed it - overrated or underrated. From mullets to McDonalds, from steak to sex, from the Eiffel Tower to eggs. No musician, city or food is safe from debate. Are they truly overrated or unfairly underrated? Plus Stevie’s been stabbed in the head, Robbie has beef with someone throwing shade on his Barcelona marathon efforts, and Jaack is considering some major cosmetic surgery… Learn more about your ad choices.

Visit Niagara Falls? Check. Try some poutine? Check. Ruin several people’s lives? Triple check. Jaack’s recent trip to Toronto wasn’t quite the smooth sailing Canadian adventure he’d envisioned… From nearly getting a waitress fired, to uncovering a secret drug habit, to almost killing an entire plane full of people, Jaack never fails to get himself in sticky situations. He dodged death while exploring the wilderness, took a medieval jousting tournament way too seriously, and majorly embarrassed himself at a poker game. He also unintentionally joined a cartel while searching for a corner shop. I WISH that was a joke… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

During our brief break from posting, every part of Stevie’s body has fallen apart. From his bleeding hands, to his overactive breast tissue, to a mysterious rash that got him genuinely interrogated by his doctor. We have a pressing question about pissing on pubic hairs in public toilets. Speaking of, Jaack admits what he does in public loos in the hopes that his cubicle neighbours will hear it. Alfie shares how his sold out gig went, and interrogates Stevie on why he didn't show up. Is it okay to go to Disneyland alone? Stevie shares his incredibly bleak trip to the happiest place on Earth, and we debate the ethics of solo theme park visits. Jaack got into trouble by kicking a disabled woman out of her mobility scooter (yep, you read that right), and Alfie takes a huge leap of faith out of his comfort zone (see what we did there?) by auditioning for an acting role… but why did he strip off in front of the casting directors?

For some strange reason, there are people around the world who consider Jaack, Stevie, and Robbie to be beacons of morality. Other people—the ones with actual brain cells—realise that this is stupid. This episode is catered towards the first group of people. We’ve found some hypothetical moral dilemmas, and the boys are debating what they would do in those scenarios! How rich would you be if the only way to earn money was by carrying out acts of kindness? Which member of the Happy Hour team would you sacrifice overboard to save yourself from a sinking boat? What would you do if you realised you were living in a simulation and had the power to shut it down? Which 100 humans would you choose to send to live on another planet if Earth becomes uninhabitable? How much would you sell a year of your life for? Organ transplants, seeing the future, death drugs, human sacrifices, and granting immortality also feature in this episode!

In this episode, we’re joined by Arthur Hill – musician, TikTok star, and master of mustaches. We cover how band Queen played a part in Arthur realising he had a singing career ahead of him, and how he went from randomly bumping into James Blunt in a pub, to waking up in bed next to him! Speaking of celebs, there’s an insanely awkward Tom Grennan interaction… No stranger to being in front of a crowd, we cover Arthur’s love of stand up and performing music, which was kickstarted in the most bizarre way. He shares how he’s learnt the hard way about the disasters that can happen on stage! We of course chat about Arthur’s rise to TikTok fame, which started when a controversial dinner table video went viral. Plus, the one item he splashed £400 on and the New Year’s resolution he broke after just 5 days. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

ROBBIE’S BACK! He didn’t die, he just went on lots of holidays. But he’s back in the studio and ready to tell us all about his jet setting adventures. He had a very expensive hospital trip in New York, has been hanging out with multiple sexy French men, and tried out a new sport that genuinely put his life in danger. Robbie explains why he stripped down into his underwear in front of a woman he met 10 minutes prior, and why his boozy trip to Belgium with BambinoBecky was a monumental fail. It’s not all Robbie Knox though, as we find out why Stevie is a certified bad boy now, and how Jaack’s 10 year anniversary date ended in disaster… Sit back in a hammock for your bum and enjoy this 90 minute long All Caught Up.

In a Happy Hour FIRST, we have a Sir gracing the studio in Olympic athlete Mo Farah! From being unable to speak English and in the bottom sets in school, to winning four Olympic gold medals and smashing world records, Mo is one beast of a human being. You’ll hear about his first Olympic win, the thrill of winning the double in back-to-back Olympics, and the rollercoaster of emotions behind his iconic victories. We chat through his intense training routine, his hatred for socks and the reason he never counts calories. Plus marathon training secrets, motivation tricks and how he’s “hacked” his treadmill. Mo reacts to Jaack’s running statistics, and also officially settles the infamous Happy Hour debate of whether it counts as a marathon if it is run on a treadmill… There’s also Soccer Aid chat, his rivalry with Usain Bolt and being knighted by the Queen!

Have you ever been enjoying a morning bowl of Coco Pops and pondered what the first ever cereal box toy was? Well wonder no more as Jaack has “researched the shit out of three topics” (his words) and it’s time for Stevie and Alfie to be schooled. Slug sex, chicken nugget challenges, pocket-sized planets, sacred sandwiches and a MrBeast conspiracy feature in this intellectual episode. We discover that one of the boys commits a major cereal faux pas, we find out the horrifying reason Cornflakes were originally invented, and we learn exactly how much Stevie and Alfie are worth as humans using a very scientific method… Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Valentine’s! The (slightly tipsy) love doctors are here to solve your love woes and this time we’re joined by (permanently tipsy) junior doctor BambinoBecky! Jaack has been caught flirting online, Becky has some horrendous advice for a 22 year old virgin, and Stevie has a revelation about his sexuality when the topic turns to pegging! There’s advice for getting back on the dating wagon after being single for a while, dealing with premature ejaculation, and a relationship dilemma involving a car accident that leaves us speechless!

After 10 years with his fiancée Fiona, Jaack has decided that the love river has dried up and it's time to search elsewhere for a sweetheart. He's opened up applications, though only two guys were brave enough to apply. His secret admirers both have to pitch their dream date to win Jaack's heart, but who will be crowned boyfriend at the end? Will an elaborate proposal using a running app get Jaack's heart racing? Does swapping a romantic dinner for hallucinogens win Jaack's affection? Will the final poetry slam change everything? Sweaty roleplay for starters, meat innuendoes for mains, and drug driving for dessert. These are two potential dates that go from 0 to 100 in no time, and it doesn’t take long before a heated argument kicks off as the potential matches battle it out... Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Happy Hour, we spend 90 minutes with comedian Dan Tiernan who is as brilliant as he is bizarre. From dealing with dyspraxia, to working as a school dinner lady, to being crowned British Comedian Of The Year in 2022 - Dan doesn’t like to take the conventional path. His second EVER stand up gig was an impromptu set in New York, and he’s performed at Live At The Apollo with one of Jaack’s comedy heroes! He’s also tried his hand at acting (he caused a TV show to be axed after his appearance) and performing magic (Dan details a gruesome injury from when his trick went wrong). He shares why an audience member threw his entire drink over him at one of his shows, and the insult dealt by fellow comic Jon Richardson that Dan will never forgot. We also chat about his gout diagnosis, how gout affects his daily life, what his first gout symptoms were, what caused his gout… what we’re trying to say here is that it’s a very “gout heavy” episode. If you take just one thing away from this episode, make it Dan’s life-saving Natwest banking hack! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The ball machine. The mystical contraption where previous Happy Hour guests submit weird and wonderful questions to be answered by future guests. Its shiny red button has been tempting us for months, and we’ve finally caved. The FourSkins are digging deep (in Stevie’s ball bag) to answer some of those questions - some are silly, some are serious, a lot are sex related. From the most ridiculous hypothetical scenarios to the deepest darkest confessions, we promise to answer honestly (sometimes way too honestly). Angry Ginge asks the age-old question: ever sucked someone’s toes? (We won’t spoil the answer, but you might be surprised) Luke Littler raises a life-or-death dilemma involving the Grim Reaper. Sam Tompkins’ question leads us to unpack the logistical nightmare of living as a literal house. TommyInnit investigates our shagging preferences, FrostBit Boy is curious about our fetishes, and Darragh Ennis is daring us to swim with predators (not the neighbour kind).

You just have to take one look at Jaack and Stevie to come to the conclusion that they’re not exactly “rugby boys”. Cue retired England rugby legend Joe Marler. With precisely zero rugby knowledge between the hosts, Joe gives us a crash course in rugby and even puts Jaack’s newfound skills to the test with an actual scrum! Rugby has plenty of weird terms for the boys to learn. What is a Mulligrubber? How about an Alickadoo? Rugby players are also infamous for their gross initiations - Joe tells us stories involving spider pig, scissoring and spanking. We cover his Haka controversy, coming out of retirement, and his podcast interviewing people with obscure jobs. And we maaaay have accidentally caused beef between Joe Marler and Danny Aarons… Joe’s humour perfectly fits the vibe of Happy Hour, and this 90 minutes feels more like a main show than a Thursday guest interview!

Jaack has come up with a list of bizarre superpowers that the boys can choose to gain, however each superpower comes with a caveat that may make them wish they stayed a mere mortal. Would you want the ability to swim insanely fast, but you constantly stink of fish? Never have to wipe after a poop, but peeing takes 5x longer? Gain 3 inches in penis length but lose 3 inches of height? (High brow stuff). Elite fighting skills, irresistible to strangers, walking through walls… each superpower comes with a big catch. Plus it's not just the powers that are questionable as Jaack has a hygiene confession AND a sexual confession that we’re pretty sure he should have kept to himself… Check out #412 for the first instalment of Not So Superpowers!

We sit down with the multi-talented comedian, actor and all-around lovely geezer Tom Davis who has us howling for 90 minutes! Tom’s first job as a scaffolder is a far cry from the red carpets he walks today. Despite having never had any acting lessons, Tom stars in Wonka and Paddington 2. He shares what Timothée Chalamet is like off screen, and why the trailer he was given on set caused a bit of a problem! Tom co-created BAFTA winning ‘Murder In Successville’ which, despite ITV not being keen on the sitcom in the first script read through, went on to have a Netflix USA adaptation. Tom went from being a scaffolder to a stand up comedian in just a few years - though not without a few bad gigs along the way, especially a particularly bad set at Download festival where bodily fluids were thrown at him… We also chat about his podcast Wolf and Owl with fellow comic Romesh Ranganathan, and his one bad habit that had his viewers fuming. Plus why he’s not a huge supporter of Edinburgh Fringe, his scary footie match experience, and one of his early jobs scaring pigeons! Learn more about your ad choices.

Nostalgia is beautiful. Looking back on our childhood with fond memories of sitting cross legged on the floor in front of the telly watching our favourite kids tv shows and movies for hours on end. Harmless, right? Wrong. Bro Hippo Stevie (for once that’s not an insult from us) has done a deep dive and found them to not be quite as innocent as we thought… How many childhood characters are secretly nonces? Is Harry Potter a murderer? Sex scenes in Spongebob? Schizophrenia in Finding Nemo? Incest in Rugrats? 100 mental illnesses in Hundred Acre Wood?

Russell shares why his dad had to stop kissing him, and the insanely valuable gift from Ed Sheeran that he LOST. From being mugged for cupcakes, to awkward supermarket encounters, to the disgusting habit that made him late for his own gig, this episode is packed full of silly stories bound to set up the end of your week nicely!

For the perfect episode to finish off 2024, Jaack is hosting the annual Happy Hour Big Fat Quiz, and this time we’re joined by two fan favourite guests from the year - Chaser Darragh Ennis and comedian Matt Richardson! Our guests take on Stevie as they look back on the biggest and silliest stories of the past year, including Hawk Tuah, viral Halloween costumes, Glasto headliners, and hippos with attitude. There’s major competition between Darragh and Stevie to see who can out-nerd each other. Jaack confesses something horrific he did in bed and Darragh offers some very helpful advice. And despite not being a football fan, Matt drops some insane ball knowledge. Happy New Year from all of us at Happy Hour, and see you next year for more FourSkins silliness!

Drinks are flowing, the FourSkins are glowing, and Father Rizzmas is Ho Ho Hoeing. This can only mean one thing…. HAPPY HOUR CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! The boys are joined by Danny Aarons’ manager Jack for his second appearance, and Dan is making his Happy Hour debut! We’ve swapped the Virgin Mary for vasectomy chat, presents for premature ejaculation, festivities for fleshlights, and roast dinners for roasting eachother. Alfie got a healthy dose of peer pressure to force him into drinking alcohol and the half a pint went straight to his head. Father Rizzmas is back for his most exuberant appearance yet. Robbie brought in some fancy crackers from John Lewis, but the surprises inside are NOT what we expected… Jaack had an awkward miscommunication at Harry Potter world, and Jack Smith talks about his own visit there where he took a wrong turn and ended up somewhere he DEFINITELY should not have been! We play a game where we all anonymously answer questions about eachother, but will our friendship stand up to it? Alfie has kept his promise to write and perform a festive grime rap, but does it live up to expectations? We said last year’s Secret Santa was the best one we’ve ever done… but does this one top it?! Merry Christmas from all of us here at Happy Hour! 💛 Alfie’s rap video - https://tinyurl.com/bdfhw4ys Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

World Champion darts player Luke Humphries joins us in the studio less than 24 hours after kicking off Day 1 of the PDC World Championships at Ally Pally! Luke opens up about his unexpected rise in darts that started as a teenager, led to him giving up the sport as a young adult, to then go on to beat Luke Littler in last year’s Worlds. Luke opens up about his anxiety, including handling major anxiety attacks on stage, and the time an ambulance had to be called. We play a game of “who’s the most…” where he shares his brutally honest opinion of his fellow darts pros. The behind-the-scenes of a darts champion's pre- and post-match routines leaves Alfie with more questions than answers. Plus we come up with a brand new celebration that Luke promises to do if (when) he wins! Luke shares how much money he’s earnt and his future plans for his fortune, secrets we don’t know about the official trophy, and the one small change he made that took his skill to the next level. We dive deep into his life off the oche too, including his weight loss transformation (dropping 4 stone in just 6 months), his unlikely celebrity mates, and how his job before becoming a pro darts player left his physically scarred.

In today’s Main Show Monday, Jaack, Stevie, Robbie and Alfie work together to officially crown the best Christmas movie, song, and food of all time. No other podcast’s opinion matters, no food critique or movie reviewer can delve quite as deep into these festive debates as we’re about to… Fiona is letting me (Jaack) write this episode description for the first time in years. She told me I need to creatively tease the episode well enough so that you guys just HAVE to listen, so here goes: Elf? Home Alone? The Grinch? Zoella’s Advent Calendar Brutal Honest Review? Which film truly belongs at the top of the Christmas tree, and which is truly just a sack of coal dumped in the outhouse? (I don’t know what an outhouse is. Just sounded cool in my head) WHAM! A great Christmas song or just a word used at the start of this paragraph to capture your attention? Who knows. Maybe you find out in this episode? Maybe you don’t. Maybe this episode is LITERALLY just the Fourskins blind ranking Christmas movies, films and food. How else can I explain this? How else can I possibly sell this episode to you? It’s Christmas, you have nothing better to do, and you damn well know that deep down you love this shit. Oh - before I go, and sign off the best episode description of all time, I will say this… wait for Robbie getting exposed over his love for a certain female pop star. Question marks are raised.

In this episode we sit down with YouTuber John Nellis, a man whose career trajectory has been anything but ordinary. From his early days as a magician performing tricks for wedding guests, to a high-stakes and high-stress job as an air traffic controller, to raking bunkers on a golf course, to a life-changing experience working at an American camp for adults with learning disabilities, John has fascinating stories from every job he’s had! John opens up about his journey into the world of social media, initially with a fantasy football podcast, and how he transitioned into creating viral content with creative partner Alex, who is the mastermind behind a hugely popular TikTok format that everyone uses today! After taking a leap of faith and quitting his job at just 7,000 subscribers, John now travels the world and collaborates with footballers like Mbappé, Pique, Zidane, Kobbie Mainoo, and more!

Our comments have recently been complaining that Happy Hour has gone “woke”, so we’re fixing that.

In today’s Happy Hour (and a half) the boys are joined by funny man Simon Brodkin (who you may also know as his working class comedy character Lee Nelson!) 10 years ago almost to the day, Simon was one of the first people Jaack ever interviewed, so it felt apt to bring him back for a full circle moment to remember! Simon’s only tattoo might say “no regrets” but Jaack certainly has one after a highly embarrassing quickfire question… What is it like to gatecrash American president Donald Trump on a golf course? HOW did Simon not get shot for his antics? Marginally, is the answer. Simon reveals everything that happened both before and after he pranked Trump. Simon explains just how he managed to join Kanye West on stage, unannounced, during his headline Glastonbury set causing Kanye to stop the entire show! Theresa May, the Man City team, Volkswagen and the president of FIFA Sepp Blatter have all also been on the receiving end of Brodkin’s stunts… and there’s no stone left unturned today as the boys discuss them all in great detail. And if that’s not enough TOP CLASS PODCAST CONTENT, the boys also dig into Simon’s previous work before stand-up, in which he worked for a year as a doctor. What’s it like to see a human dead body? Forget that. Simon can tell you what it’s like to dissect a human dead body. Today’s episode is almost guaranteed to enter the top shelf of Happy Hour classic guest episodes, and if you love Simon as much as we do and want more of him, you can go and see him live on tour here - https://www.simonbrodkin.com/simons-tour/ Learn more about your ad choices.
