JaackMaate’s Happy Hour

Pet peeves. Bugbears. Irritating things that grind your gears. We all have at least one — and this week, the boys are airing them all out. From cyclists who play by their own rules (Cycling Mikey), to people who wear Crocs in public (Angry Ginge), to when someone inspects your phone pics like a forensic analyst (Jaack’s Nan). Instagram models, urinal etiquette, rude road users, ATM annoyances, sal...

Russ Cook - AKA The Hardest Geezer - graces the studio for his hat trick ball, and he’s definitely more alert than when we last saw him after completing his run across the length of Africa! Russ weighs in on some “Am I The Asshole” scenarios and he provides some much needed tough love.  There’s a creative way to get revenge on some coffee shop Karens, a bizarre reason for not respecting your partn...

Following on from episode #546, we’re spinning the wheel of 1,000 random things and deciding whether they’re considered truly overrated or unfairly underrated.  From pizza to Pokémon, from skinny jeans to the Sidemen Charity Match, from weddings to winter… nothing is safe from debate.  Let us know if you want us to continue with this series!  Learn more about your ad choices.

After waking up in a Columbian hospital following a mysterious accident, battling life threatening injuries and an imminent leg amputation, Luke Tarrant had a million questions. Is this a real hospital? Could social media save his leg? What actually happened? But the answers would have to wait as things took a turn for the worse with sepsis beginning to set in… Despite the unlucky chain of events,...

Inspired by a controversial magazine article from the 90s, Jaack has created a new series which he has creatively called “Overrated Or Underrated”. The boys have to debate whether a number of random things are considered - you guessed it - overrated or underrated. From mullets to McDonalds, from steak to sex, from the Eiffel Tower to eggs. No musician, city or food is safe from debate. Are they tr...

Visit Niagara Falls? Check. Try some poutine? Check. Ruin several people’s lives? Triple check. Jaack’s recent trip to Toronto wasn’t quite the smooth sailing Canadian adventure he’d envisioned…  From nearly getting a waitress fired, to uncovering a secret drug habit, to almost killing an entire plane full of people, Jaack never fails to get himself in sticky situations.  He dodged death while exp...

During our brief break from posting, every part of Stevie’s body has fallen apart. From his bleeding hands, to his overactive breast tissue, to a mysterious rash that got him genuinely interrogated by his doctor. We have a pressing question about pissing on pubic hairs in public toilets. Speaking of, Jaack admits what he does in public loos in the hopes that his cubicle neighbours will hear it. Al...

For some strange reason, there are people around the world who consider Jaack, Stevie, and Robbie to be beacons of morality. Other people—the ones with actual brain cells—realise that this is stupid. This episode is catered towards the first group of people. We’ve found some hypothetical moral dilemmas, and the boys are debating what they would do in those scenarios! How rich would you be if the o...

In this episode, we’re joined by Arthur Hill – musician, TikTok star, and master of mustaches. We cover how band Queen played a part in Arthur realising he had a singing career ahead of him, and how he went from randomly bumping into James Blunt in a pub, to waking up in bed next to him! Speaking of celebs, there’s an insanely awkward Tom Grennan interaction… No stranger to being in front of a cro...

ROBBIE’S BACK! He didn’t die, he just went on lots of holidays. But he’s back in the studio and ready to tell us all about his jet setting adventures.  He had a very expensive hospital trip in New York, has been hanging out with multiple sexy French men, and tried out a new sport that genuinely put his life in danger.  Robbie explains why he stripped down into his underwear in front of a woman he...

In a Happy Hour FIRST, we have a Sir gracing the studio in Olympic athlete Mo Farah! From being unable to speak English and in the bottom sets in school, to winning four Olympic gold medals and smashing world records, Mo is one beast of a human being.  You’ll hear about his first Olympic win, the thrill of winning the double in back-to-back Olympics, and the rollercoaster of emotions behind his ic...

Have you ever looked at a slug and wondered how long it would take it to travel a mile? Ever been browsing eBay and been curious to know what would happen if you put your entire life on auction? Have you ever been enjoying a morning bowl of Coco Pops and pondered what the first ever cereal box toy was? Well wonder no more as Jaack has “researched the shit out of three topics” (his words) and it’s...

Happy Valentine’s! The (slightly tipsy) love doctors are here to solve your love woes and this time we’re joined by (permanently tipsy) junior doctor BambinoBecky!  Jaack has been caught flirting online, Becky has some horrendous advice for a 22 year old virgin, and Stevie has a revelation about his sexuality when the topic turns to pegging!  There’s advice for getting back on the dating wagon aft...

After 10 years with his fiancée Fiona, Jaack has decided that the love river has dried up and it's time to search elsewhere for a sweetheart. He's opened up applications, though only two guys were brave enough to apply. His secret admirers both have to pitch their dream date to win Jaack's heart, but who will be crowned boyfriend at the end? Will an elaborate proposal using a running app get Jaack...

In this episode of Happy Hour, we spend 90 minutes with comedian Dan Tiernan who is as brilliant as he is bizarre. From dealing with dyspraxia, to working as a school dinner lady, to being crowned British Comedian Of The Year in 2022 - Dan doesn’t like to take the conventional path.  His second EVER stand up gig was an impromptu set in New York, and he’s performed at Live At The Apollo with one of...

The ball machine. The mystical contraption where previous Happy Hour guests submit weird and wonderful questions to be answered by future guests. Its shiny red button has been tempting us for months, and we’ve finally caved. The FourSkins are digging deep (in Stevie’s ball bag) to answer some of those questions - some are silly, some are serious, a lot are sex related. From the most ridiculous hyp...

You just have to take one look at Jaack and Stevie to come to the conclusion that they’re not exactly “rugby boys”. Cue retired England rugby legend Joe Marler. With precisely zero rugby knowledge between the hosts, Joe gives us a crash course in rugby and even puts Jaack’s newfound skills to the test with an actual scrum! Rugby has plenty of weird terms for the boys to learn. What is a Mulligrubb...

Jaack has come up with a list of bizarre superpowers that the boys can choose to gain, however each superpower comes with a caveat that may make them wish they stayed a mere mortal. Would you want the ability to swim insanely fast, but you constantly stink of fish? Never have to wipe after a poop, but peeing takes 5x longer? Gain 3 inches in penis length but lose 3 inches of height? (High brow stu...

We sit down with the multi-talented comedian, actor and all-around lovely geezer Tom Davis who has us howling for 90 minutes! Tom’s first job as a scaffolder is a far cry from the red carpets he walks today. Despite having never had any acting lessons, Tom stars in Wonka and Paddington 2. He shares what Timothée Chalamet is like off screen, and why the trailer he was given on set caused a bit of a...

Nostalgia is beautiful. Looking back on our childhood with fond memories of sitting cross legged on the floor in front of the telly watching our favourite kids tv shows and movies for hours on end. Harmless, right? Wrong. Bro Hippo Stevie (for once that’s not an insult from us) has done a deep dive and found them to not be quite as innocent as we thought… How many childhood characters are secretly...

Stand up comedian Russell Howard drops by to become Happy Hour’s first guest of 2025 and, much like his first appearance in 2021 (ep #238), he does not disappoint! Whilst Russell’s heartwarming tales of becoming a dad for a first time will hopefully have your heart full… hearing the phrase “lucky jizz” later in the pod will definitely just have your heart full of questions... Russell shares why hi...

The snow has melted, the novelty jumpers have been packed away, and the mountains of Matchmakers have been devoured... which can only mean one thing - THE FOURSKINS ARE BACK! And we're kicking off a new moon with an All Caught Up. Jaack has broken a major promise. Alfie shares info on his upcoming jail sentence. Robbie invited questionable people to his Christmas party. Stevie is unfortunately her...

For the perfect episode to finish off 2024, Jaack is hosting the annual Happy Hour Big Fat Quiz, and this time we’re joined by two fan favourite guests from the year - Chaser Darragh Ennis and comedian Matt Richardson! Our guests take on Stevie as they look back on the biggest and silliest stories of the past year, including Hawk Tuah, viral Halloween costumes, Glasto headliners, and hippos with a...

Drinks are flowing, the FourSkins are glowing, and Father Rizzmas is Ho Ho Hoeing. This can only mean one thing…. HAPPY HOUR CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!  The boys are joined by Danny Aarons’ manager Jack for his second appearance, and Dan is making his Happy Hour debut! We’ve swapped the Virgin Mary for vasectomy chat, presents for premature ejaculation, festivities for fleshlights, and roast dinners for r...

World Champion darts player Luke Humphries joins us in the studio less than 24 hours after kicking off Day 1 of the PDC World Championships at Ally Pally! Luke opens up about his unexpected rise in darts that started as a teenager, led to him giving up the sport as a young adult, to then go on to beat Luke Littler in last year’s Worlds. Luke opens up about his anxiety, including handling major anx...
