JaackMaate’s Happy Hour

For years, Simon Wilson’s followers have questioned what TRULY happened on that infamous trip to Afghanistan. Why did Simon have to flee the country just an hour after landing in Kabul? What did Simon REALLY mean when he wrote “would love to make a video about what happened but for the safety of those I met, I think it's best not to”? Well today, Simon reveals the Afghanistan secrets exclusively on the Happy Hour podcast. It may have been three-and-a-half years since travel ‘tuber Simon Wilson last dropped by the Happy Hour studio, but his chemistry with Jaack & Stevie makes it seem like he’s never been away at all. Simon gives us arguably one of the greatest Happy Hour episodes of modern times as he comes equipped with plenty of stories from his global travels. He shares his top 5 tips for top tier travelling. Forget what your Mum taught you - Simon insists you should talk to strangers for the ultimate travel experience. You’ll have to listen to the episode to find out the other 4 travel hacks! Which country has the nicest people? The craziest traffic? The cheapest living? The tastiest food? The most scenic views? Simon is without a doubt one of the most qualified people on planet Earth to answer such questions. Was Simon really banned from the US? Yep, and the reason why is bizarre. Is it actually possible to get free flight upgrades? Yep, and the reason how is bizarre. Could this be one of the greatest episodes of Happy Hour ever? Yep, and the reason why is obvious - Mr Wilson and his long list of travel tales! Check out ep #143 for Simon’s first appearance on Happy Hour! Learn more about your ad choices.

After our last confessions episode (#464) with the infamous cummy knickers went down a storm, Jaack, Stevie, Robbie and Alfie have once again dusted off their big box of dark confessions (which is less of a box, and more so an anonymous Reddit submission form), ready to decide if thou are forgiven or not. What are you meant to do if you get an erection in front of your sister? Which side of the moral fence do you sit on when it comes to scamming your friends out of cash? We also debate the age old question… how DO you wash a vagina in the sink?

Matt shares stories from his time hosting Xtra Factor and has a RAUNCHY Sharon Osbourne story to tell! Speaking of raunchy, there’s also fairy porn chat, and a previous X Factor contestant who flashed him on a bus! Plus the time Kate Moss held him hostage and forced him to party.

From the glorious Tunisian sunshine, to the snowy picturesque Austrian mountains, Jack, Stevie & Robbie have been jetsetting around the globe! Alfie has also had a stroll around Stowmarket. Jack and Stevie catch the guys up with everything that happened out in Africa. Witnessing Russ Cook AKA Hardest Geezer make history as he crossed the finish line in Tunisia, having police intervene a pretty dodgy moment with some interesting taxi drivers, and Stevie coming face-to-face with his arch nemesis Stevie Black... the boys come equipped with some incredible stories. Robbie has finally managed to convince Jack and Fi to go skiing as the trio popped over to Mayrhofen in Austria to master the snowy slopes of Snowbombing festival. Turns out, Jack and Fi may well be the next Torvill & Dean… except if Torvill & Dean swapped their ice skates for skis… and if Torvill & Dean were really bad at skiing.

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! Before becoming a hugely successful comic, Josh had some very unconventional jobs, including shilling fake designer gear on a German market, and writing for a magazine from the perspective of a 7 year old girl... 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... Plus Josh's hatred for a certain genre of film, whether the perfect joke exists, and his favourite memory of Sean Lock. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jaack, Stevie, Robbie & Alfie have dusted off their big box of creepy confessions (which isn't actually a box, and more so an anonymous Reddit submission form), ready to decide if thou are forgiven or not. The FourSkins dissected a number of your deepest, darkest confessions during both main shows & the Round Sheep Tour in 2023, and after a year hiatus, it's time to once again see what you freaks have been up to! From squatting inside the house of a woman with dementia, to shaking up poo into a packet of Golden Nugget cereal - no, this isn't Stevie's diary (for once) but more so the headlines of your bizarre confessions. A drug addict Mum has been hurt by her dealer, but is it actually her child that's to blame? Is it okay to wish you had a terminal illness? What is a 'Pos guy'? This episode admittedly probably asks more questions than it answers, but you can't cancel us... because these are YOUR* confessions. *Reddit's Also, if you want to meet us in person and confess your deepest darkest sins, the FourSkins will be live touring the UK again with a bigger and better show than last year - tickets available at www.happyhourlive.co.uk Learn more about your ad choices.

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!

A double main show week AND the FourSkins are all in town?! Get innnn! We’re taking inspo from LadBible’s ‘Honesty Box’, which some of our previous Happy Hour guests have featured on, and putting our own spin on it - FourSkins style! What’s the funniest thing you’ve EVER seen? Have you ever been genuinely offended? What’s the worst hangover you’ve ever had? What’s the most scared you’ve ever been? Jaack is getting rinsed for his answer to his biggest regret, Alfie tells us about the drastic change he made to his appearance after one hate comment, Stevie somehow manages to make drinking booze in Ibiza really uncool, and Robbie reveals a near death experience that he’s never shared before! There’s also far too much talk of sexually active grandparents… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We asked AI to give us “an original funny concept for JaackMaate’s Happy Hour” episode idea… and they were all SHIT. So we’re doing another episode of Alfie’s Amazing Indraviduals instead! Alfie has researched more of the world’s most amazing people that have different unusual skills and quirks, and Jaack and Stevie have to choose who is worthy enough to take a coveted spot in Alfie’s ‘Amazing Indraviduals’ book! There’s a time traveller from the year 5000 that has photographic proof, a man who was left with an incredible superpower after a violent street attack, and a woman with a unique skill for detecting water underground. Plus a human cyborg, a super sensitive nose, and a man who didn’t eat for a year. Oh, and a really big poo.

Jaack & super sub host Alfie are this week joined by a man who is as giant in size as he is in personality. 7 time Mr Olympia Phil Heath squeezes his way into the Happy Hour studio to discuss his illustrious career as one of the world’s greatest ever bodybuilders. 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.

In just four months since the PDC World Championships, Luke Littler has risen to the very top of sporting fame, and today The Nuke himself sits down with Jaack & Stevie to discuss his whirlwind career so far. At just 17 years of age and little over 3 months in the public eye, the teenage darts sensation's life has been turned on its head thanks to his overnight fame. Luke reveals all from being best mates with ‘The Asp’ Nathan Aspinall and ‘Hollywood’ Chris Dobey, to his darting rivalry with MVG and his on stage beef with Ricardo Pietreczko. After giving up his footballing dream aged 11, he's gone on to reach a World Championship final in his debut year at The Palace, played darts with the Manchester United squad, and even opened a Fifa pack during a walk on! From rating YouTubers, to predicting how many World Championships he will win in his career, there’s no stone left unturned in what is one of Luke’s first ever podcasts. Oh… and you’ll never guess how old he was when he threw his first 9 darter… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

She's Scouse. She's fierce. And she's NOT afraid to take the piss out of us! Molly "Meatball" McCann swaps out grappling a tough MMA opponent, for sitting opposite two absolute MMA novices for her Happy Hour debut! Jaack and Stevie delve deep into what fighting means to Molly, how a childhood scrap led her on to her career, and why she switched from boxing to MMA. From a tough upbringing with a mother fighting addiction, and Molly not being allowed into her local boxing gym due to her gender, to being one of the biggest names in MMA - Molly shares her whole story. How she saved a complete stranger from being sex trafficked, her short stint as a Liverpool footballer, and how one IG post landed her in big trouble with her fiancée! Plus we challenge Stevie to beat Molly in a thumb war and it went about as well as you'd expect...

The FourSkins are back together once again for yet another absolutely absurd All Caught Up. Stevie’s made a famous “friend” in the gym… kind of. The boys discuss if Stevie’s new gym “friend” can be classed as a friend at all, as Stevie’s yet to pluck up the courage to even say hello. Robbie’s back from his 48th ski trip of the year, and he’s come equipped with tales of a mini holiday fling with arguably the hottest ski instructor the world has ever seen. Will this holiday romance stay platonic? Or will it be causing an avalanche for Robbie’s marriage? Jaack’s been to see hypnotist Robert Temple live, so isn’t quite sure if he’s the same Jaack the podcast has known for the past 5 years. Also, Stevie’s ventured into the deep dark depths of TikTok and educates the boys on the latest conspiracy regarding Kate Middleton. Has she disappeared? Is there more than meets the eye? What’s with that dodgy photoshop job? Stevie turns sleuth! Alfie’s here too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The hog is BACK! (That’s not a deeply offensive insult, but it won’t make sense unless you listen to this episode…) Bambino Becky gives us the pleasure of her company on Happy Hour for the first time since 2020, and there’s a ton to catch up on over some birthday drinks for Jaack! In this giddy episode, we cover everything from being sued for the name of her YouTube series 'Strong Ones', to flying to Africa to deliver a pint to Hardest Geezer, to THAT Wayne Lineker kiss... We asked ChatGPT to give us some BambinoBecky trivia and it supplied some hilariously wrong answers, including the BEST catchphrase ever. Plus we chat the The Roast of Bambino Becky, drunken antics with Robbie at Oktoberfest, her genuine poltergeist experience from the boys' home town of Norwich, and the raunchy picture that was sent to Becky's gran!

If a black cat crosses the road in front of you, does it ruin your entire day? Does the irrational fear build up inside you until you have to knock on wood to reverse the bad luck spell? Regardless of your answer - we have no idea what that means! Jaack, Stevie & Alfie sit down to discuss the strange superstitions that sweep our nation, from walking under ladders to stepping on three drains to breaking a mirror, we’ve all heard these bizarre beliefs and how they supposedly bring us bad luck - but do they? Will listening to this episode bring you seven years of bad luck? No. Will you learn something you can tell your mates down the pub? Potentially. Will Jaack spend a good 10 minutes reading a Spanish nursery rhyme about a cat for no real reason? Yes.

Following on from our Dream Heists (ep #352), the boys find themselves chucked in the slammer. Sitting in dingy cells with nothing but time on their hands, they are each plotting an elaborate escape plan... Jaack, Stevie and Robbie each explain what crime got them locked up in the first place, how long they bide their time until they attempt escape, and which 3 other famous inmates they're recruiting as accomplices.

QUIZ HATS ON! Jaack has gathered a list of the weirdest world records he could find, and is quizzing Stevie and Robbie to see who can fill in the fact about the most fascinating human feats (and you can play along too!) From the world's oldest dad, to the most spoons balanced on a body, to the most amount of men slept with in 24 hours.

It’s a double main show week! The FourSkins are remixing some Happy Hour favourites (or unfavourites) by combining Urban Legends with our popular ‘Dream’ episodes! We’re each creating our very own fearsome creature, giving it a name, choosing a backstory, sharing its powers and weaknesses, and showing how to summon and escape it. Robbie’s is a spin off of a current well known urban legend, Alfie’s revenge-themed story is based on a real life event that happened to him, and Jaack’s legend is based on what we can only assume are some ketamine-induced hallucinations. Oh and if there are any doctors listening, could you please let us know if dead bodies can get erections? Asking for a friend, thanks. Learn more about your ad choices.

In today’s main show Monday, the FourSkins sit down to ponder over life’s toughest moral dilemmas. From running a restaurant with dishes made from human flesh, to sacrificing one large man for 10 smaller people… in a cave… using… dynamite? The boys get their teeth stuck into some truly tricky tests. What’s the morally right thing to do if you've been bitten by a zombie? What’s the fairest way to poison somebody? We answer questions the rest of the world are too downright scared to! Also, we have some big news. Like, really big news. Like big fat massive news. You’re not going to want to miss this.

Consultant forensic psychiatrist Dr Sohom Das spends his days in prisons, psych hospitals and courts assessing and rehabilitating mentally ill criminals - and working out who is faking it to get a reduced sentence. He gives us fascinating insight into the crossover between crime and sanity. Dr Das explores how mental illness is portrayed in movies, including Split, Joker, Shutter Island, and The Talented Mr. Ripley. He also gives his expert analysis on famous cases such as Lucy Letby, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, Anders Breivik, and Fred and Rose West. After 12 years working in the field, Dr Sohom Das has seen his fair share of shocking cases and strange delusions - a man who pulled out his own eyeballs during a psychotic episode, and a Texas mother who drowned her 5 children due to delusions. In this 2 hour interview, we cover everything from lobotomies and electroshock therapy, to religious delusions and psychopathic CEO’s. Dr Das shares how to spot the signs that someone is faking a mental illness, the widely known disorder that actually does not exist, and just how accurate online psychopath tests really are!

In today’s main show Monday, Stevie, Robbie and Alfie listen eagerly to Jaack’s big All Caught Up. How did Jaack REALLY break his finger? Why did Jaack get in a full blown argument with a stranger on the way to the hospital? Will his hand ever recover? (Yes, it’s literally a broken finger). Not only that, Jaack needs to confess a very awkward moment involving Danny D’s impressive appendage at a McDonald’s drive-thru. But aside from Jaack’s latest shenanigans, he's found time to plan possibly the WORST episode ever of Happy Hour... The boys (mainly Jaack) are securing their place at the top of the “who should the internet cancel next” list as Jaack shares his collection of ‘Darwin Awards’ - people who have eliminated themselves from the gene pool via some of the silliest, dumbest and goofiest deaths the world has ever seen. Hilarious? Potentially. Believable? Potentially. Insensitive? Definitely. From crush fetishes to nut allergies, Segway mishaps to water bottle tumbles, the boys share some of the strangest deaths to ever ‘actually’ happen (according to the Darwin Awards website)!

In a truly jaw dropping, soon-to-be Happy Hour classic, former mob boss and caporegime in the Colombo crime family Michael Franzese lays his soul bare. All the way from Brooklyn, New York, Michael pops by the Happy Hour studio to talk all things mafia. From horses heads left in beds, to ratting out rats, the Prince of The Mafia reveals just how he managed to quit the mob in 1985 and still live to tell the tale. Very few mobsters successfully manage to leave the mob life behind unscathed but Franzese did, and over the next 90 minutes we’ll get to ask him all the questions you’ve ever wanted to ask a real life mafioso. From literally being name-dropped in arguably the greatest gangster movie of all time ‘Goodfellas’ (Martin Scorsese), to ending up in solitary confinement , Michael has lived through enough to fill 100 lives. This is one you’re going to want to tell your friends about. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of scotch (or equally cool non-alcoholic beverage if under the age of 18) and enjoy what is destined to be one of Happy Hour’s greatest guest interviews to date.

Argumental, the Happy Hour Mass Debate… whatever you want to call it, we're going to argue about it! We're taking inspiration again from panel show 'Argumental' and debating silly questions, but we've each been allocated a side to fight for, that doesn't necessarily align with our own values! Jaack thinks that footballers don't get paid enough, Alfie is denying the existence of ghosts, Robbie is fighting for the death penalty, and Stevie is getting confused over whether darts is a sport. PLUS after telling us about how he's been wrecking rage rooms and bullying builders, Stevie takes the ultimate Beta Cuck title when he's forced to do a complete 180 on his previous controversial film critic comments...

StuntPegg - Nieve Petruzziello - has for the longest time been one of Jaack's (and Robbie's!) favourite football content creators... so it was about time she made her Happy Hour debut and of course she did not disappoint! In this nearly 2 hour episode, the trio discuss the ups and downs of being raised in Rochdale (a place regularly topping the charts of the worst UK towns). From having her prized possession stolen by a child, to appearing on the Graham Norton show, Nieve's upbringing was far from normal. Nieve also speaks openly about her mental health journey, her dispute with fellow Bolton football vlogger Thogden, as well as adding her very valuable opinion on the controversial character that is Joey Barton. The boys also test Nieve’s mettle as they put her through a gruelling football challenge by giving her random football teams from the 92 professional clubs in England. Can Nieve tell us where each team is positioned and in what league? More so, can she whip out a random fact about each club? From Man City to Morecambe, Liverpool to Luton, Tottenham to Torquay… just how much does StuntPegg REALLY know about the beautiful game? Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s a Christmas Eve tradition at this point, and this year Jaack, Stevie, Robbie and Alfie are joined by Jake for his second appearance, and JDH making his debut! Amongst multiple rounds of beer roulette, the boys munch unique sausage rolls created especially for the podcast by the UK’s best sausage roll maker Charlie Hodson. No Christmas episode is complete without a round of Secret Santa, which is by far the best Secret Santa in Happy Hour’s 5 year existence! Jaack reveals his excruciatingly embarrassing Starbucks stories involving 2 women who clearly worked out. Robbie met the real Santa Claus, and Jake’s still putting the worst thing imaginable on his Yorkshire puddings... However, in perhaps one of Happy Hour’s most hilarious moments ever, the boys read their Christmas Panto (written by Jaack).
