JaackMaate’s Happy Hour

We’ve taken inspiration from a suggestion posted to our subreddit r/jaackmaate - we asked our listeners to submit situations where they’ve complained, and the FourSkins will decide whether it was worth complaining about! Screaming at a server over an incorrect food order? Building an extension on your house just to piss off your nightmare neighbours? Denying guests entry to your wedding simply because they forgot to RVSP? Hunting down a shitty customer's place of work? In this episode, we decide whether these actions are justified, or if these people earn the title of KARENS. The boys also share their very own Karen moments - Stevie with his tortilla troubles, Alfie’s parking predicament, Jaack with his dick dilemma, and Robbie's awkward alpha male mix-up. Plus there’s been a MAJOR development to Stevie’s ‘milk gate’ story! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Punk rock duo Isaac and Laurie from Soft Play (formerly known as Slaves) went from gigging to a crowd of just 7 people, to headlining festivals, to taking a career hiatus. They’re on Happy Hour to chat through their career to date, the reason for their name change, and their upcoming album! They share why they were escorted out of Foo Fighters' backstage area by armed security, the celebrity they got to crowd surf at their gig, and why they’re calling out Ed Sheeran. Punk rock gigs inevitably come with wild injuries, one involving a pair of underpants, and another caused by a huge 90’s pop band. The lads reveal the 6 words Isaac said, that caused Laurie to refuse to speak to him during their tour, and we put their friendship to the test with a game of Mr and Mr! Laurie explains his nickname that has stuck since school, and his tattoo that he didn’t realise had a raunchy double meaning! And YES we couldn’t let them go without explaining Jaack’s fondness for shagging soft plays, to Soft Play themselves… Visit www.softplayband.com for tour tickets, and to pre-order Soft Play’s new album ‘Heavy Jelly’ (out 19th July)!

The FourSkins have been BUSY. Jaack’s been to Frankfurt to watch England v Denmark but got stopped at customs after his bag tested positive for something highly illegal! He also tells us about the celebrity he “dapped up” at the match. Speaking of football, Alfie has tried out a new career by becoming a referee for the day, but it all ended in tears (mainly Alfie’s). Robbie’s been travelling with BambinoBecky and tried bizarre cocktails at the best bar on the entire planet, but the boys point out a major issue with the drinks menu. We're also trying to figure out what the deal is with the 'Hawk Tuah' girl? Jaack’s been winding up football twitter (again) and he shares some of the best hate comments he’s received! He also made a major faux pas that will offend all Italians... Oh, and Stevie got married! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It’s festival season baby! After attending nearly ONE HUNDRED festivals, it’s safe to say that Rob and Raz are the ultimate festival content kings. They’ve swapped out tents and tinny’s, for Jaack and Robbie - as they chat everything festival! In this very penis heavy episode, Rob shares what he was accidentally caught doing on a live stream, and Raz reveals which TPD member has licked his… member. The boys give us the ultimate festival tier list with tips and tricks galore, and they also share the story of how a Pokémon kept them awake at a festival… So crack open a tinny and enjoy this 2 hour episode!

Alfie has had an unfortunate shaving incident and we are NOT letting him get away without ripping the absolute shit out of it. But was it his fault, or his barber’s? Aside from hiding his bald face, Alfie has also been hiding something else - an illegal onion. We grill him as we peel away the layers of this bizarre confession. Jaack and Stevie played in a charity match for the brilliant ‘Andy’s Man Club’ with Angry Ginge, Danny Aarons, and plenty more famous faces, but Stevie is yet again being a Karen over his time (or lack of) on the pitch! The boys also partook in a game of Real Life Rocket League! Using banger cars to push a giant inflatable football round a race track sounds like harmless fun, right? Well it was… until the football caught FIRE! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

From being a shy, short kid, to growing into a towering 6'5" man with a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Tom Aspinall has worked his way up to become the current Interim UFC Heavyweight Champion!

Just when you thought we’d left urban legends in a dusty corner of the Happy Hour episode locker… they’re BACK and this time Stevie is treating us (or torturing us) with urban legends from Great Britain! If only the stories were as great as the location… We’re delving into the stories of Spring-heeled Jack, The Phantom Ferryman of Pier 13, The Devil’s Footprints, and The Ghost Of Bluebell Hill. There’s a twist, as Stevie reveals that one of the stories in this episode was AI generated - can you guess which one? Plus, we heard your cries, we read your comments, and we have FINALLY given you the infamous Sin Pig story! So without further ado, sit back and enjoy Little Boy’s Brexit Legends (this will make sense if you listen to this episode…) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jaack is hungover so Stevie planned an entire surprise episode for us... so we did the right thing by binning that off and having an All Caught Up instead. Mega Robbie is giving us a mega arse update and reveals he finally has an arse diagnosis! Tune in to find out what's been happening with his flawless anus (how the f do we still have a Spotify contract...) Stevie “Karen” White is back in full force, and this time he's taking out his midlife crisis anger on a young van driver, and a milk delivery company. Jaack also went Karen mode in a restaurant over a robot waitress, and had an argument with his elderly doctor. Jaack gives us far too much info about his first experience trying Viagra, and what happened when he got caught smuggling his boner pills into Paris. Speaking of drugs, we're also debating whether we should invite a heroin addict on the pod? There's also a Gary Barlow ticket scam, Barcelona with Bambino Becky, and why Jaack wasn't allowed into the stadium at the FA Cup final... Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Hour is BACK! And in this Euro special, the boys are joined by football content kings James Allcott and Ellis Platten! The boys discuss the best goal they've ever seen live, all the way through to the second greatest sport. Is it tennis? Is it darts? It's definitely not rugby. Ellis and James, along with football idiots Jaack and Stevie, predict every match from England's group games, including a surprise result against Denmark. James explains why he thinks Ronaldo will be having the tournament of his life, and Ellis tries to justify why football is truly coming home. The boys also go head-to-head in a Euro themed quiz written by quiz-master himself JaackMaate. Which nation has made the most finals? Alongside Harry Kane, which England player has the most Euro caps? Who scored the most goals? It's all to play for in this tense Happy Hour Euros quiz! Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s been exactly 100 episodes since Jaack and Stevie did their last Q&A, so it’s time to carry on the annual tradition with another one!

The boys are answering burning Q’s such as which guests have turned down an invite for a second appearance, what’s the worst thing that has been cut or bleeped, and which eps were nearly binned off. The boys reveal how they dealt with a guest who brought along a mega demanding PR team, and both share their opinion on the new studio now they’ve had the chance to properly settle in.

Cheating death, missing children, infinite water bottles, duplicate parents and phone calls from beyond the grave all feature in today’s episode. Robbie shares his own glitches that made him question reality, and things get DEEP as we discuss the illusion of sight and sound, and whether other people even exist?!

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.

Jack and Stevie catch the guys up with everything that happened out in Africa.

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...

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!

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

Sitting in dingy cells with nothing but time on their hands, they are each plotting an elaborate escape plan...

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?

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.
