519 - Meeting Hawk Tuah in Hollywood, Playing Football with Roberto Carlos, & A New Awful Advent Calendar! (All Caught Up)
We’re LIFTING THE MOOD ON A MONDAY MORN with a Jaack, Stevie and Robbie all caught up! In this golden egg of an episode, Jaack and Stevie tell us about their recent trip to LA for a Spotify event. Celeb spotting was on the cards but there was one person in particular that the boys were extra giddy to meet! Jaack and Stevie watched their first ever NBA game - Lakers v Grizzlies - but were less than impressed with how America does sports, the price of beers, and LeBron’s son…
Jaack got into beef with a bodyguard, stole a teddy bear from a child, and also managed to embarrass himself in front of Caspar Lee. Stevie's business class flight left him with a LOT to grumble about, but at least he's now officially joined the half mile high club!
Robbie has a bone to pick with BambinoBecky, after he was left to drink alone in Europe. He's also got a story about a very drunk Darren Huckerby, and we have a promise to our audience after the recent backlash over Robbie’s roast dinner. And old school JaackMaate returns after Robbie splurged on an advert calendar even worse than Zoella’s…

518 - MAMS TAYLOR - Misfits President, KSI's Manager, & Owner of Prime!
From being a boxing promoter and the president of Misfits Boxing, to managing KSI and even making music with Snoop Dogg, Mams Taylor has done it all—and he’s here to share stories of fame, fortune, and influencers.
In this episode, Mams explains his role within Prime, and dishes a huge secret about corner shop Wakey Wines who have famously sold Prime for £100 a bottle. He also pulls back the curtain on his unexpected role as KSI’s talent manager, despite never having heard of him just a few years ago.
Mams reveals why he refuses to get Harry Styles on Misfits, and we get the inside scoop on the world of illegal streams, his take on Hstikkytokky, and what the future holds for the Misfits empire. Mams drops some serious knowledge on how fans can get a shot at making it onto the Misfits roster, and sets up a potential fight for Jaack and Stevie. And, of course, Mams weighs in on the highly anticipated KSI vs Jake Paul fight. He also shares his thoughts on the chaotic street fight with Jesse Metcalfe that went viral on TMZ...
Mams responds to the haters who’ve called him out over his iconic hats, reveals how he learned the ropes of real-life cowboy culture, and even shares the unexpected new hobby that he out swapped women and fast cars to focus on. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to navigate the world of elite boxing and talent management, who better to ask than one of the most influential figures in modern entertainment?

517 - FourSkins Blind Ranking!
We’ve each got a category that we’re bringing to the virgin table and the other FourSkin members have to blind rank them - put them in a 1-10 list without knowing what the next choice will be - BUT we all have to agree on the answer, and of course this doesn’t go too smoothly…
Robbie brought a choice of top 10 animals, Jack is picking the worst people to ever exist, Stevie’s selecting the best songs of all time, and Alfie is whittling down the worst ways to die.
Plus we call Jaack’s grandad LIVE on the pod to ask him a very pressing question about his arse. Robbie wants to have sex with an infamous media personality. Oh and Alfie has been mugged again but this time Jack witnessed the entire thing!

516 - WILLIAM HANSON - Etiquette Expert on Drugs, Dinner Parties, & Dogs Arse!
Despite growing up in an affluent area and attending boarding school, etiquette expert William Hanson is refreshingly self aware and his sharp wit had us cracking up throughout this nearly 2 hour episode! We cover everything from the etiquette surrounding reclining your plane seat, tipping in restaurants, and even how to properly pass a blunt!
William shares the naughty item he bought on eBay that got his account banned, and tells us about an interaction that left him wanting to drop kick an elderly woman...
We test William’s knowledge of quintessential council estate things. Has he ever set foot in a Spoons? Has he ever downed a Jägerbomb? Ever been on a sticky nightclub floor? Eaten a turkey dinosaur? Used a paper napkin instead of cloth? Plus we give William a challenge to complete on his own podcast 'Help I Sexted My Boss'!

515 - Jaack, Stevie & Robbie Q&A II (Moo Deng, Meatloaf, & Miniminter Rejection!)
Following on from ep #503, Jaack, Stevie and Robbie are answering MORE questions from our subreddit! If we had to do another job different to podcasting, what would it be? If every Happy Hour guest had to fight to the death, who would be the last 3 in the arena? Would you rather find 1,000 cockroaches or a stranger living in your attic? Why isn’t the podcast at the top of charts any more?
There’s also one question that makes the boys cringe so hard they can barely answer it.
Plus Stevie is in massive trouble with his wife, Jaack has a new wife, and Robbie has… been to the National Cat Awards.
Bambino Becky ruined this entire episode so if you weren’t a fan of it, blame her!
*FYI this episode was recorded more than a month ago - we promise we haven’t only just discovered Moo Deng and Pesto.

514 - THE KING OF CHEMO - 1 Year Left To Live After Accidental Brain Cancer Diagnosis
In today’s incredibly honest and refreshingly light-hearted interview with The King of Chemo, we delve into the life of the very funny irishman Iain Ward who shares his unexpected journey into the world of terminal cancer after a somewhat random and accidental diagnosis under pretty rare circumstances.
From the initial diagnosis, to being kept awake during actual brain surgery, Iain has shown nothing but unrelenting grit to not only personally make the most of what time he has left - but to help inspire millions of others along the way too as he discusses his phenomenal fitness feats with Jaack & Stevie. Terminal cancer might have dramatically cut Iain’s life expectancy down, but it won’t stop him as he aims to break the world record for most money raised through running marathons.
Today’s podcast is not all about Iain’s medical ordeal but also about the psychological journey, his fears, aspirations, priorities, uncertainty, and ultimately, his incredibly profound outlook on life.
Iain's response to his diagnosis has been nothing short of inspirational. Instead of succumbing to despair, he channeled his energy into helping others, helping aid charities that support cancer research and provide comfort to those also battling the disease.
Iain also chats with Jaack about Jaack’s health anxiety. It’s no secret that Iain’s diagnosis would be Jaack’s worst nightmare - a lifelong fear of his. So we ask Iain, is it silly, or perhaps even offensive, for Jaack to worry about something that is not directly effecting him? What is Iain’s opinion on health anxiety?
Does Iain want a girlfriend? To get married? To have kids? Has his relationship with material things changed? Does he value money more or less? Has he planned his funeral? The boys ask questions they’d usually be too scared to ask somebody with terminal cancer, but Iain’s openness, warmth and jovial outlook lends itself to a raw honesty that made for an incredibly open interview.
We hope that this episode is not only a testament to Iain Ward's personal journey but also serves as a beacon of hope and action for listeners who are experiencing similar struggles. Through his story, we learn about the unpredictability of life, the importance of giving back, and the unexpected curveballs that life can throw at us.
Iain’s online alias may be The King Of Chemo, but all of us at Happy Hour think he might actually just be The King.

513 - The Big FourSkins Fall Out! (Agree Or Disagree II)
Jaack, Robbie, Alfie, and Black Box Bitch are taking a pinch of Ladbible, a sprinkle of Reddit submissions, and adding in a healthy dollop of strong opinions… to give us the truly novel concept that has never ever been seen before (except when we did it on episode #511) - ‘AGREE OR DISAGREE’.
Should you have to retake your driving test every 30 years? Are crisps overrated? Does Stevie have the best looking penis out of the group? Is Norwich better than London? Does it annoy us when people think they know us from the pod? Is sex overrated? Plus ugly kids, cats vs dogs, goblin sex, and more!
Jaack has some VERY strong opinions on who shouldn't be allowed to start a podcast, Robbie has a great argument for why people shouldn't use the phrase 'midlife crisis', and Alfie... doesn't know what he thinks.

512 - HAPPY HOURWEEN 2024 - Stevie's Trick or Treat! (ft MYSTERY GUESTS!)
It's that time again... for a very spOoOooOOoky Happy Hourween! (May be more weird than spooky). And as always the devilish trio of Jaack, Stevie & Robbie Knox are back in the spoOoOooOoky studio! (Okay, we'll stop doing the spooky thing now - but seriously, the studio has had a Halloween revamp(ire) at the hands of lovely Producer Fiona!)
2022 the boys donned Urban Legend make-up, 2023 was the year the Addams family came to the virgin table... and 2024 is by a country mile the weirdest yet. Remember a year or so ago when the boys debated which Pokemon is truly the sexiest? I think in this year's Halloween special; that very question is finally answered...
Jaack finally comes through on a podcast promise as he's written The Hangman's Secret, a short-scary-story based on a murderous pub landlord Robbie told us about in episode #453.
Will the story receive rapturous acclaim from Stevie & Robbie like The Human Millipede, or will it have yet another utterly bizarre storyline much like the mental script Jaack wrote for the 500th special? (Spoiler: both).
Mr Knox ventures deep inside his creepy library once more with a tale including some silver bullets and bum brain, and Stevie may just have pulled off the impossible as he leaves Jaack & Robbie gobsmacked at his "not urban legend" urban legend.
OH - and in what could quite possibly be the greatest moment of Happy Hour ever and at the hands of the devious Jaack - some mystery guests hijack the studio draped in their best costumes, for a LIVE "trick or treat". Two separate guests with a real life connection to Stevie... but here's the twist: Stevie has no idea who they are OR that this was going to happen.
Jaack also promises Stevie the trip of a lifetime to the home of a Happy Hour favourite urban legend location that is bound to be super spOooOOooOky. (I lied about doing the spooky thing again).
2024's Happy Hourween (in the humble opinions of the entire HH team) is by far the greatest Hourween yet. We hope you agree!

We’re taking a pinch of Ladbible, a sprinkle of Reddit submissions, and adding in a healthy dollop of opinions that may get us cancelled… to give us the truly novel concept that has never ever been seen before - ‘AGREE OR DISAGREE’. Jaack, Stevie and Alfie are debating topics - some of which have the potential to get them cancelled, and a few that lead to a scrap between the boys...

510 - JOHNNY FISHER & BIG JOHN - Boxing, Bosh, & Beef in Black Bean Sauce!
Two geezers... two of the UK’s biggest charvas... two blokes that nobody wants to mess with (although they have a heart of gold)... are today joined by Big John & Johnny Fisher!
Johnny’s incredible boxing record speaks for itself but in today’s pod, the boys quickly find out that Johnny isn’t just brawn - but a whole load of brains too, as the Romford Bull gives Jaack & Stevie a lesson in history.
It’s not just history discussed today with the Fishers as the foursome chat about Johnny’s plans for the future and his hopes of one day landing the British heavyweight belt. (And not the kind of heavyweight belt in Big John’s wardrobe!)
This fast-paced hour absolutely zooms by as Jaack, Stevie, Johnny & Big John discuss everything from selling tonnes of cheese in lockdown, to sparring with the Furys, to viral stardom.
From chicken balls, to Essex “beanos”, this episode covers so much in such a short space of time, we guarantee your commute will be fly by with these four in your ears! Oh, and the lads also blind rank their ultimate Chinese takeaway… with surprising results.
In episode #373 of Happy Hour, the crafty cockney Tom Skinner claims he started the “bosh” catchphrase within the Essex circle. So today… once and for all… we get to finally put the question to Big John. Did you steal Bosh?

509 - Bums, War, & The Match Bachelor (Lots of Balls)
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…

508 - RIZZLE KICKS - Sobriety, BRIT School, & Secret Pharrell Williams Collab!
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.

507 - Mass Debate!
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.

506 - TOM THE TAXI DRIVER - Celeb Passengers, Uber Wars, & INSANE Training Course!
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.

505 - Habbo Hotel Hook Ups & Pitch Side Punch Ups (All Caught Up!)
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!

504 - WHATWILLYCOOK - Feed The Rat, Condiment Drama, & Rating Jaack’s Meat!
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!

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. Oh boy…

502 - DANNY AARONS - Gun Threats, Gifting Teslas & Guest Appearance From Danny’s Manager!
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!

501 - MORAL DILEMMAS 4 - Faking Death, Stolen Wealth, & Solving All World Problems
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?!

500 - HAPPY HOUR’S 500TH EPISODE SPECIAL!
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!

499 - Songspod 2.0 (Soundtrack To Our Lives Part ll)
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.

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. After appearing on the show in 2017, and being the stand out contestant in his group of 4, ITV bosses called him up to invite him back onto the show - but this time as a Chaser! 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. Plus we put Darragh’s knowledge to the test with a Chase style quiz against Jaack, and Darragh manages to make Jaack look even more thick than normal, which we didn’t think was possible…

497 - Soundtrack To Our Lives!
In today's episode Jaack, Stevie and Alfie discuss the songs that played the most important part in the biggest soundtracks to their lives. Whilst Jack was trying to handle a brutal breakup by laying in bed crying with his Mum listening to Gotye, Stevie was blasting Take That trying to convince his new ex that he was totally over her.
From Example's verse on Game Over, to James Blunt's Back To Bedlam album... the boys have been through a lot of turmoil, pain, and passion, and in today's episode they lay it all bare. Why does Stevie think he's a fish? Alfie reveals why teenagers scare the living sh*t out of him, and Jack reveals exactly why he needs air.
This is the soundtrack to their lives.

Fin chats working on Deal or No Deal and the weird item Noel Edmonds has hidden in his dressing room. Plus, why Fin’s Nan is possibly one of the worst human beings. Speaking of Nans, Fin explains the job he had that involved warming up Nanas!

492 - DEAN STOTT - 16 Years As A British Special Forces Operator!
Dean Stott MBE started his military career aged 17, by age 21 he was an elite para-commando, and he became one of the first army soldiers to make it through the gruelling 6 month Special Forces selection process to join the Special Boat Service (SBS). After 16 years, Dean’s military career ended prematurely when he was injured in a parachuting accident.
Not content with just being a real life Action Man, Dean set up his own security company providing protection during the Libyan War, single handedly evacuated the Canadian embassy, and has broken TWO World Records since leaving the special forces.

We're playing a game of 'Are Our Listeners Little Bitches?' AKA part 2 of fan favourite 'Am I The Karen'! We're looking at more of our listener's submissions of situations where they’ve complained, and Jaack, Stevie and Robbie will decide whether it was worth complaining about.
Forcing cyclists off the road? Getting a cashier fired for an ID mishap? Lobbing your lager over a stolen seat? Causing a scene because somebody tall stood in front of you? In this episode, we decide whether these actions are justified, or if these people earn the title of LITTLE BITCHES.
Plus Jaack is sharing a revelation about his bum hair, Stevie found another footballer to ignore at the gym, and Robbie might have caught hepatitis...
Check out #486 for the first 'Am I The Karen' episode!

490 - RHYS JAMES - 'Mock The Week' Secrets, Supporting Alan Carr, & Bankrupt From His CAT!
Comedian Rhys James swaps stand up for... sit down... as he joins Jaack and Stevie in the Happy Hour studio! Rhys is no stranger to panel shows, having appeared on Live At The Apollo and Mock The Week countless times. He shares some insider secrets, and exactly why prepping for a show is pretty tough.
Rhys tells us why he swapped politics for comedy to kick off a stand up career aged 17, and shares how he convinced people that Alan Carr supported HIM. Rhys also reveals what Tommy Fury did that made him cringe when he was sat near him at the England semi final, and why his cat (given its name by a very famous comedian) is making him bankrupt...
We also play a game of 'Rhys James or Reece James' where we ask Rhys whether the tweets were from Rhys James, or Reece James. Confusing? Slightly. Worth a listen? Absolutely.

Jaack’s back in the UK after having his heart torn into a thousand pieces by Cucurella and co. But he’s over it, right?! Stevie’s at death’s door after going a bit dizzy in a lift, and Robbie’s absolutely fuming at some rowers. Alfie’s here too.
In this week’s main show Monday, the boys have LOTS to get all caught up on.

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…

482 - Illegal Onions, Stubble Trouble, & Real Life Rocket League! (All Caught Up!)
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!

480 - BRITISH Urban Legends!
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…)

479 - All Caught Up! (Arseholes, Viagra & Smackheads)
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...

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!
