JaackMaate’s Happy Hour

Alfie’s obsession with the original version of Four In A Bed is no secret, so when Happy Hour listener “foobiomon” suggested we do our own Dream version, we knew we had no choice! In part 1 (#597) we explored Alfie and Jaack's guest houses.  We kick off part 2 with Stevie's haunted hotel where guests are not guaranteed to make it out alive... There are unexpected intruders in each room, but Robbie...

We sit down with one of Jaack’s all-time favourite stand-ups, Matt Bragg, to learn how he went from camera man to comedian. Before hitting the comedy circuit, Matt spent years behind the camera and working on superyachts. He reveals what he did to get kicked out of a billionaire’s boat party, and the abysmal gift Alan Sugar gave Matt after he worked on his yacht.  Matt shares the worst gig stories...

Jaack, Stevie, Robbie and Alfie have called it a day on podcasting (let’s be honest, it wasn’t really working out anyway) and instead ventured into the Wild West of the hospitality industry… hotels to be specific!  In a concept that has never been done before (except every week on Channel 4 for the past 15 years) the Happy Hour boys each spend a night in each other’s hypothetical hotels before pay...

Football content creator Tom Garratt joins the pod this week for a rollercoaster episode covering everything from his humble beginnings growing up in Dudley, to his short-lived football career, to his current role on Pitch Side. Tom opens up about how he’s handled the fallout from THAT infamous leaked video, how he deals with constant online hate, and the most savage comment he's ever received.  T...

Robbie is back in the studio fresh off the back of a family trip to Canada… which did not go to plan in more ways than one. He details everything that went wrong, from missed flights to illnesses to disappointing tourist attractions. Plus a story involving a strange man on the bus, and windscreen washer fluid…  Stevie has been doing questionable things with pet dogs, and nearly killed his nan on a...

Comedian, author, and accidental wellness guru Russell Kane takes us for a rapid ride through his chavvy upbringings, Shakespearian dreams, and his deep hatred of Chihuahuas.  From his chaotic council estate roots and leaving school with barely any qualifications, to topping his uni class and eventually winning the Edinburgh Comedy Award, Russell shows how hard work and curiosity can outdo privile...

The Theory Slammers (AKA SlamJar and Slamwise Gandhi) are once again donning their clever clogs caps and busting some myths inspired by TV show ‘Mythbusters’.  Is yawning contagious? Can a human catch a bullet in their teeth? Could a penny dropped from the Empire State Building kill someone? What pwould happen if you let a bull run loose in a china shop? Can acid dissolve a dead body like in Break...

Happy Hour... on a Saturday?! In this bonus episode Jaack and Stevie talk all things JaackAndStevie dot com. They tell stories of driving to an inappropriately named mountain in Germany, horrific tattoos and much more. They also discuss the amazing Happy Hour element of their website along with some of the incredible giveaways they've done so far! JaackAndStevie.com members also had the opportunit...

Comedian Nick Helm joins us for a wild ride through his mind, and it’s one hell of a trip. He destroys our set in protest over some Pokémon figurines. Nick ruthlessly judges Jaack’s top 3 movies. And we go waaaay too deep on a question about how many pet chickens Nick’s house can hold. Nick admits to being a fraud as he reveals his 2011 Edinburgh Fringe “Funniest Joke” win was actually STOLEN. He...

Stevie is taking inspo from Mythbusters (and Fiona) and has brought a handful of theories to the virgin table for Jaack and Alfie (AKA The Theory Slammers) to SLAM.  Can a regular playing card be turned into a deadly weapon with one powerful throw? Could you blast yourself into space using fireworks? Is it possible to bend a bullet in mid-air? Does running in the rain keep you drier than walking t...

This week’s Happy Hour guest is the effortlessly cool Adam Pearson. An actor, presenter, and disability rights campaigner, there’s really not much Adam ISN’T bloody brilliant at. Fresh from the bright lights of Hollywood and into the ironically brighter lights of the ridiculously yellow Happy Hour studio, Adam comes equipped with his sharp wit, seamless charisma and even a present for Jaack and St...

Jaack, Stevie and Alfie are reliving their teenage years by playing iconic drinking game 'Never Have I Ever' (minus the drinking). Have we ever: cried over a movie? Lived alone? Been excluded from school? Been ghosted or catfished? Or got in a car with a stranger? There's stories about how Jaack nearly dated the girlfriend of a One Direction band member, how Stevie's mum betrayed him and got him i...

When Jaack received a chance DM one day from Zack Wilson, who offered to send out an exotic fruit basket, Jaack was compelled to learn more of his story. Zack’s early life was the polar opposite of what it is today - from being excluded from school 25 times and battling bullies after being diagnosed with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome, to wild nights out raving and severe drug addiction. After a near-fa...

We’re celebrating the latest FourSkin member to tie the knot - Alfie to his beautiful wife Ali - with an All Caught Up episode dedicated to his wedding! He gives us a full run down of the entire day, and goes over what he did on the morning of (including two things that are VERY unconventional for Alfie), the sentence that had to be cut from the speech, and the tiny mistake that ruined all of the...

Nearly a year on from his first appearance, Will Hughes AKA What Willy Cook brings main show vibes and laughs aplenty to the Happy Hour studio. Will chats about his very own festival - A Willy Nice Day - and has a direct message for the person who made a Karen-esque unwarranted complaint.  Will tells us about his favourite dishes from his travels around the globe (well, mainly Portugal and New Zea...

Only 5 days ago Adam Radcliffe from Watford, along with 3 crew mates, was stepping upon land for the first time in 56 days after joining the elite club of humans to successfully row from New York City to the UK.  Nearly 2 months in a tiny row boat with barely enough room for 3 people would have been tough regardless, right? Well try adding storms, whales, 40 degree burning heat and blistering cold...

Crushing on cartoon characters, wearing sleepwear in supermarkets and people watching in public. This week, the boys dive into oddly specific scenarios that we all wonder about but are too scared to ask. From solo cinema trips to sleeping naked, it's time to ask the ultimate question: is it weird?  Is intervening in public arguments heroic or just nosy? What’s the etiquette around telling someone...

Today we are joined by one of football’s most iconic managers. A visionary maestro. An architect of the beautiful game. Steve Bracknall. Assistant manager of Royal Oak FC. Move over Holloway, move over Warnock. You were both great on Happy Hour in years gone by, but this is Bracknall’s time to bathe in the glorious sunshine (which may or may not just be the reflection from bright yellow virgin tab...

In this bumper ACU, we hear about Robbie’s pub crawl in Harrods and Sensei Pigwidgeon gives us a karate update. Jaack has been trying to boost his coolness rating by torturing himself at his own house party but it all ended in (literal) tears.  There’s a bit of road rage involving Stevie and train rage involving Robbie. Jaack is planning to get a puppy but has to call up his Nan live on the pod to...

Music legend and bloody good mate Example makes Happy Hour history as he graces the studio for a FIFTH time. Since his last appearance two years ago, he’s had a new baby, a bunch of new tattoos, and a host of new stories.  He pops by to chat all things Masked Singer and we had NO IDEA of the insane level of secrecy surrounding keeping the celeb’s identity hidden while taking part in the show. Exam...

Argumental, the Happy Hour Mass Debate… whatever you want to call it, we're going to argue about it! We're taking inspiration from panel show 'Argumental' and debating silly questions, but we've each been randomly allocated a side to fight for, that doesn't necessarily align with our own personal values!  Robbie reckons the royal family are rubbish, Stevie thinks trigger warnings are silly, Alfie...

We’re sitting down with Tim Oliver, the world’s most renowned David Brent lookalike, whose uncanny resemblance to Ricky Gervais’ iconic character from The Office has made him a fan favourite on social media, at stag dos, and even on screen.  We dive into Tim’s journey - from first realising his striking similarity to Brent, to turning that into a unique career. Tim shares the challenges of playing...

Following on from the Lionesses incredible Euros victory, Stevie has decided to create his very own tournament - The World Cup Of Urban Legends! He’s found 16 urby legs from different countries and is using a randomised wheel to decide which 6 are going head to head in the first instalment, but he’s accidentally drawn all the sexy ones… There’s a seductive sadist teacher in red heels, a hot hybrid...

Rapper, MC and viral sensation Greg AKA Window Kid needs to be on your radar. He sets the record straight about the origin of his stage name, chats incorporating humour in his lyrics, and shares what chaotic pal Mashtag Brady is actually like off camera.  From being kicked out of school (Stevie was horrified at the reason, Jaack didn’t think it was too bad), to earning himself a lifetime ban from...
