JaackMaate’s Happy Hour

Jaack, Stevie and Alfie sit down for an absolute minefield of an All Caught Up. Jaack took a trip to Poland and somehow managed to be shouted at by not only a Polish woman, but also the flight attendant. Plus he addresses his secret marriage. Alfie finally plucked up the courage to get naked, but someone had a tragic reaction to his penis. He also saw a builder do something truly shocking in broad daylight. Stevie spent an entire football match looking at women with Norwich’s very own Tindler Swindler. And in other news that we’ll pretend to be shocked at - Stevie has been a Karen again… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sule - AKA rap duo Rizzle Kicks - are BACK after an 8 year hiatus! The boys share what it’s like to attend BRIT school - which is completely different to what we were expecting - and the one reason the principal thought Jordan wouldn’t make it as a successful musician. They share how Fearne Cotton was instrumental in the success of Rizzle Kicks, and why their Pharrell Williams collab cannot be released! Harley talks about why he turned down money to be a semi pro footballer, and a ChatGPT mix causes him to storm off! And Jordan admits to a crime he commits pretty much weekly. This episode has the perfect blend of laughs and deep moments - the pair open up about Harley’s anxiety, Jordan’s sobriety journey, and what it was like to experience overnight fame at age of 19.

Jaack, Stevie and Robbie have taken inspiration from a Reddit suggestion and are coming together for this mass debate. We're discussing petty debate topics and asking Nonce God to help us decide the answer. Does chocolate belong in the fridge? Is it acceptable to piss in the sink instead of the toilet? Is it technically a toastie if it doesn't have cheese? Should the England manager be English? Is it gay to get pegged by a girl? If you cook 2 lasagnes and stack them on top of each other, do you have one lasagne or two lasagnes? And so many more... See you later, mass debaters. Learn more about your ad choices.

A taxi driver is just a stranger who picks you up and drops you off, right? WRONG. There’s surprisingly a ton more that goes into it and Tom The Taxi Driver explains just why we should pay more attention to black cab drivers! Since starting his YouTube channel during lockdown, it has boomed to over 100k subscribers that tune into his videos on secrets of the trade! Tom details how he mastered The Knowledge, and the extensive training and memorising routes that took YEARS to complete. Tom busts myths on tipping, carrying animals, lost property, and fare dodgers. Why doesn’t he use a Sat Nav? Why should we use a black cab instead of an Uber? Why did a passenger smash his window? Toms spills the beans on the secret taxi network at Heathrow airport, and he shares some great food and pub recommendations from his extensive travels around London. Tom also tells us about the wonderful annual charity event that he’s involved in, where a convoy of around 100 black cabs all transport sick children and their families to Disneyland Paris - check out the links below and consider donating to support this fantastic cause. www.magicaltaxitour.com www.justgiving.com/page/chcd-charity-trust-1701455093222 Learn more about your ad choices.

Robbie is tired, Jaack is ill, and Stevie is... unfortunately here. In this very Habbo-heavy All Caught Up, Jaack explains how there is a secret criminal underworld to the game, and the boys discover he has been unintentionally grooming girls online. Jaack reveals how much money he has pumped into Habbo since it's recent relaunch, and he teaches Robbie about how to make bank on the game, which is a fairly painful listen. Speaking of painful, Jaack shares how he was PUNCHED at a Sunday league match, but the story has a satisfying twist ending! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jaack’s had his favourite comedian of all time on the pod in Ricky Gervais. He’s had his favourite footballer of all time on the pod in Mark Noble, and today… Jaack has his favourite silly internet food man of all time (or certainly the last 10 months) in WhatWillyCook! (Granted, it’s a niche title, but it’s a crown Willy wears with pride!) WhatWillyCook blends humour, delicious recipes and easy-to-follow instructions to bring his online followers absolutely mouth-watering grub they can make at home. But today on Happy Hour, Willy throws his recipes away and whips out some incredibly amusing anecdotes about his hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon. Ever wondered why once a year a group of stoned blokes lob cheese into a river? Of course not, you’re not mental. But Willy explains why anyway! From contemplating Shakespeare eating Big Macs, to role playing as human poos, and researching the life of eels - Will is as bloody bizarre as he is fucking funny, and this 90 minutes absolutely flies by as the boys get on like a house on fire. There’s often a debate on which guest would make the perfect fifth skin? Well, I think after today’s episode, that debate can be safely squashed for a good while! Willy and all of his culinary expertise give the ultimate decision on Britain’s best and worst condiments as the Chef himself blind ranks sauces. Willy reveals which A-list Hollywood actor DM’s him for ruddy-good restaurant recommendations… as well as revealing the ultimate food gaff in London! Plus Jaack brings in a glazed ham that he did all by his big old self, and Willy rates it. The first time in over 250 guest episodes in which Jaack has successfully convinced the guest to have a nibble on his meat. Which proves the saying is right - if at first you don’t succeed… glaze a ham in shit loads of honey. If this episode was a sandwich, then Will proved to be a perfect filling in between two crusty, out-of-date, stale hosts. Bon appétit! Learn more about your ad choices.

Jaack and Stevie have roped in Robbie for a Q&A and we’re answering questions such as who we’ve turned down for an interview, how close we’ve been to ending the pod for good, and which guests can we not stand now. There’s some wisdom from Robbie about old age, and Stevie explains his huge falling out with a popular british YouTuber. There’s a much anticipated arse update on Robbie’s ongoing anal issues! And we have a mission for our listeners to help make Alfie’s All Caught Ups more exciting… Speaking of ACU, Stevie is STILL being awkward with Darren Huckerby in the gym, and he’s done something so horrific that he’s had to make a public apology.

Danny Aarons (or should that say Aaron’s?) marks his FOURTH appearance on Happy Hour with a nearly 2 hour episode! We cover everything from his recent fight, to working with Spurs, to getting hate online. Filmed a few days after his boxing match against Danny Simpson, he shares in detail the entire build up and aftermath, the reason why he nearly dropped out of the fight, and who he wants to box next. Danny gives us a tour of his new tattoos (one of which has a huge mistake!), and shares how he feels about THAT viral dance video! Plus how Theo Baker ruined Danny’s chance at playing in Soccer Aid. Danny’s manager joins us for the last portion of the episode to tell us why he’s banned from Tesco, how Danny surprised him with his dream car, and spills a little bit too much info on Danny’s genitals… Check out episodes #226, #327 and #440 for Danny’s previous appearances!

Jaack, Stevie and Alfie sit down to mull over some of the world’s weirdest moral dilemmas, and we’ve turned it into a contest to see who can win the most ‘morality points’! Would you swap lives with someone for the day if there was a 50% chance you’d be stuck as that person forever? Would you want to live in a perfect virtual reality world, but you can never return to the real world? Would you send an innocent person to prison to protect your best mate? Why is Jaack killing his favourite footballer? How come Alfie needs to chat up his fiancée again? What’s the important reason we should not erase Stevie’s childhood trauma from his memory?!

6 years. 200+ guests. 4 skins. 500 episodes. We have enjoyed every single second of every single podcast along the way, and today pays homage to what we believe makes Happy Hour, Happy Hour. Jaack, Stevie, Robbie & Alfie don their inflatable golden crowns (except Jaack) and crack open a beer (except Alfie) as they reminisce and reflect on 500 episodes of friendship (except Stevie). The boys indulge in a multitude of Happy Hour fan favourite mini segments including Robbie’s Creepy Library, Jaack’s scripts, and Alfie’s Amazing Indraviduals, and fan un-favourite Stevie’s Urban Legends. But it’s not all love and celebration, as the boys find out the brutal results of the listener voted polls. Questions such as worst dressed host, unfunniest host and creepiest are all answered and the boys are NOT happy... In almost 3 hours of Happy Hour nonsense, the boys are 500 not out. Thanks so much to each and every listener who continues to show our silly show unbridled, unwavering support. Here’s to the next 500? Viva La Happy Hour! Learn more about your ad choices.

Warning: today’s episode contains something that has never, ever happened in almost 500 episodes of Happy Hour. Some listeners may be horrified. Some may be incredibly amused. (Fiona here… I’m horrified and amused in equal measure… but also kind of want to leave Jack now?) Now 2 weeks ago saw the release of Soundtrack To Our Lives, and you guys loved it so much* we just had to make a part two! (*we had loads of unused questions). Jaack, Stevie and Alfie dive deep into the perfect festival song (and why budding musician Alfie detests… live music). 21 Pilots take Jaack for a ‘Ride’ at Reading Fest. Alfie’s been ‘Waiting All Night’ for his Mum to pick him up from a Rudimental gig, and Stevie got to watch a ‘Fire’ performance from Kasabian from the side of stage at Kendal Calling. Some big questions are also answered amongst today’s bizarre music ramblings. Just how instrumental was Jaack in bringing Oasis back together? Has a straight person ever truly enjoyed a Micheal Bublé gig? Should we REALLY be trying to cancel Chappell Roan? Today’s episode might be a part 2, but this musical number has all the hallmarks of a chart-topping number 1! (Or if we’re being completely honest, it’s that slightly weird song you’re embarrassed to admit to your mates that you quite like). Enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices.

Darragh Ennis was living a regular life until a decision to apply for tv quiz show The Chase in the hopes of winning enough money for a new back door changed his whole life.

Darragh “The Menace” Ennis was born and shot to fame during lockdown. A far cry from his previous life working in a lab dissecting the brains of fruit flies, Darragh shares his entire journey in this nearly 2 hour episode. What are the best memory techniques and pub quiz tips? Why are IQ tests a load of bollocks? What happens when a contestant contests an answer on The Chase? Why does Darragh have a habit of shouting CHEESE? Darragh spills the beans on his fellow Chasers, and shares plenty of behind the scenes secrets of the show. He also settles the debate about whether celebs get given easier questions, and his honest thoughts on the backlash from his debut episode.

They’re on Happy Hour to chat through their career to date, the reason for their name change, and their upcoming album!

Gracing the yellow studio today is the first comedian that Stevie ever saw live, and a longtime comedy hero for Jaack - it's Josh Widdicombe!

Josh shares his genius pre-drink tactics from university, and his addiction that he participates in 8 times a day. Josh also shares the worst gigs he's ever done - from performing in front of a crowd of just TWO people, to gigging at a farming college that involved a tradition of downing a pint of piss... We play a game of 'fill in the blank' featuring headlines from when Josh has made the news, learn about his tactic for getting more screen time when featuring on panel shows, and enjoy making Stevie VERY uncomfortable by bringing up with he did to Jon Richardson...

Russ Cook, aka Hardest Geezer, last joined the Happy Hour boys in December of 2021, in which he revealed his dreams of running the entire length of Africa. Just a madman with a dream, right? Wrong. We caught up with Russ in our first ever out-of-studio podcast, mere hours after Russ became the first human being in history to run from the most southernly point in Africa, to the most northern tip. Jaack, Stevie and Fiona travelled out to Tunisia to witness Russ accomplish the unthinkable and cross that finish line, before diving into the Mediterranean sea. In what seems like a full circle moment, just a day after the mission finished, Russ was incredibly generous to allow Happy Hour to be the first place to share his incredible story. From being robbed at gunpoint in Angola, to cooking an untraditional Christmas dinner in the Guinean rainforest, to crossing the finish line on a Tunisian beach, Russ Cook’s story is truly awe inspiring. From injuries to sickness, not even the worst bouts of crippling blisters and explosive diarrhoea could derail Russ and his team’s mission. From deadly wildlife, to police escorts, to army raids, to Saharan hallucinations... if it wasn’t already absolutely clear, then today’s episode should help clarify exactly why Russ chose the alias Hardest Geezer. But it’s not just Russ who shares tales of ProjectAfrica today, we also chat with Emily - Russ’ amazing girlfriend, on just how she has been coping over the past year. Russ' cameraman Stan also jumps on to share some mad stories involving villainous pirates. It’s all happening on this very special, very unique episode of Happy Hour. From all of us at Happy Hour, we’d like to say the biggest congratulations to Russ and his team for grabbing the history books, tearing them up, and creating their own book. A book that will literally never, ever be matched. We’re absolutely besotted by Russ as a human, and an athlete, and we’ll forever be honoured to have been there to witness the moment this man achieved the impossible. Not only was this one insane act of endurance and self-belief, but it was an act of selflessness as 'ProjectAfrica' was all for charity. Please consider checking out, and donating if you can, to Russ’ chosen charities below!

Phil discusses how Hollywood superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger was his inspiration behind entering the world of competitive bodybuilding and Heath’s 7 Mr Olympia wins puts him equal with Arnie himself! Phil opens up about his rough start to life witnessing a point-blank shooting at his high school dance shortly before a sudden injury put a stop to his promising basketball career. But when faced with that infamous fork in the road, Phil chose a path that would change his life (and body) forever. What’s the easiest thing you can do to quickly gain a six pack? Does a bodybuilder ever eat McDonald’s? Can fellow hench gym goer Alfie Indra beat Phil in a ferocious arm wrestle? Answers to all of these burning questions are answered in today’s Happy Hour! So, neck that protein shake, gulp down that chicken breast, put down those 200kg dumbbells and strap in for a guest who’s guaranteed to make you want to do at least one press up.
