Oct 13, 2025 · 1 hr 31 min599 - FOUR(SKINS) IN A BED Part 2! - Who Will Be Crowned The Winner?!
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 doesn't feel as if he's drawn the short straw. There's a spot of illegal activity too with a worrying lack of human rights for the staff and a suspicious meat served with breakfast. We finish off this series with Robbie's B&B, which has just had it’s grand opening and has already caused quite the buzz! How far can one man stretch his creative limits when dedicating an entire hotel to one very specific theme? The sleeping arrangements in this B&B have a rather, er, communal feel, and the very thing soothing you to sleep may turn out to be the source of your nightmares! And finally, after each of the boys has taken their turn to host in their hypothetical hotel, we can finally crown a WINNER. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Oct 9, 2025 · 1 hr 28 min598 - MATT BRAGG - Alan Sugar’s Awful Gift, John Bishop Beef, & The Superyacht Stunt That Got Him Fired!
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 imaginable, including one that involves multiple bodily fluids, and another that features a surprise intruder in the middle of his set. Matt also reveals what it’s like to support Ricky Gervais on tour, and shares his hot takes on Holocaust museums and Christmas adverts during a game of “Fill in the Blank" using his own old tweets. Plus, Matt reacts to Jack’s cursed toe, reveals why John Bishop might secretly hate him, and drops a life-changing fact about sausages… ‘Matt Bragg Live’ out on October 16th. @mattbraggcomedy on IG and Twitter.

Oct 6, 2025 · 1 hr 35 min597 - FOUR(SKINS) IN A BED Part 1! - Who Has The Best Dream Hotel?!
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 paying what they believe is the true value of a night’s stay in said hotel. The host with the highest profit at the end will be officially crowned Happy Hour’s hottest hotelier! 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! This week is part one (with part two next Monday) and what better way to start than with Indra’s Comfort Hotel? A hotel designed inch-by-inch… or mattress-by-mattress with comfort at the heart of every decision. Is it possible to be too comfy? Alfie’s house of comfort isn’t all that’s explored today as we also venture into Jaack’s hotel. Over the past seven years alongside the podcast, and unbeknownst to anybody, Jaack has been running a side hustle. The Happy Hour hotel. With every single guest that’s ever appeared on the podcast working at the hotel (yep… even him) this is the literal definition of a guest-house. Would you like a podcast studio tour when you check-in the hotel? Doesn’t matter! Regardless of your preference… you’re getting one! Every time. Next week we will pop into Stevie and Robbie’s hotels and a winner will be crowned. But for now, it’s Jaack & Alfie’s turn, which in our humble opinion… could well be a new Happy Hour instant classic! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Oct 2, 2025 · 1 hr 27 min596 - TOM GARRATT - Life Before Pitch Side, Hair Transplants, & THAT Video…
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. Tom reveals whether a move into Misfits Boxing could be on the cards, blind ranks both great and terrible hair transplants from celebrities (and Theo Baker), and plays a painfully cringe game of "Fill In The Blank” with his old tweets. We also give Tom a “Golden Sports Pass” that lets him witness one iconic sporting moment from the past, one from this year, and one from the future - his picks are surprising. He also weighs in on who the greatest champion in sports history is, the top five footballers of all time, the most overrated player ever, and whether England will finally bring it home at the World Cup next year.

Sep 29, 2025 · 1 hr 5 min595 - Sensei Pigwidgeon’s NIGHTMARE Canada Trip (All Caught Up!)
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 trip to Pleasurewood Hills. We maaaay have also found a song to rival “I’m going to rip your fucking arms off”! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Sep 25, 2025 · 1 hr 17 min594 - RUSSELL KANE - Guard Rabbits, Cancel Culture, & How He’s HACKED His Biological Age!
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 privilege. He shares the exact moment that changed his mindset and sparked a lifelong obsession with self-improvement, knowledge, and proving people wrong. He also dives deep into how he's literally reversing ageing through evidence based routines and science backed supplements… without going full Bryan Johnson! He shares his best diet and exercise tips, and discusses how he’s building a business that aims to make people biologically younger. Russell chats about getting booed off stage, cancel culture, and why he rarely watches other comedians. Plus weird pet stories, fatherhood, and his fascination with misunderstood historical figures (wait til you hear about the secret life of Gandhi…) Learn more about your ad choices.

Sep 22, 2025 · 1 hr 18 min593 - Mythbusters Part 2! (Acid Baths, Lethal Pennies, & Elevator Of DEATH)
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 Breaking Bad? What if an elevator you’re riding suddenly plummets… can you save yourself by jumping at the very last second? All these myths have actually been tested on Mythbusters, so the boys can debate whether it’s possible and theorise which chaotic experiments were used to test it, and Stevie can reveal the truth! Plus Alfie has an embarrassing LinkedIn confession, and Jaack admits to an INSANE motorway driving habit… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Sep 18, 2025 · 1 hr 26 min592 - NICK HELM - 3,000 House Chickens, Bipolar Diagnosis, & How He STOLE His Famous Joke!
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 also shares his savage take on past Fringe joke winners and Jaack’s own one liners.

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 through rain? All these myths have actually been tested on Mythbusters, so the boys can debate whether it’s possible and theorise which chaotic experiments were used to test it, and Stevie can reveal the truth!

Sep 11, 2025 · 1 hr 54 min590 - ADAM PEARSON - Breaking The Barriers Of Facial Disfigurement, Starring Alongside Scarlet Johansson In Hollywood, & Working On ‘The Undateables’!
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 Stevie! Are we just being nice about Adam because he is one of the only Happy Hour guests to come baring gifts? Honestly no. Adam is one of the loveliest blokes to ever grace our studio, and this episode is destined to fit right onto the shelf labelled “instant Happy Hour classics”. Being born with neurofibromatosis - a condition that causes tumours to grow all over his body - life was inevitably hard for a young Adam, as he fought with bullies in the vicious battlefield of the school classroom. We ask Adam questions you’re too afraid to ask someone with a facial disfigurement, and he shares how he deals with having a twin brother who does not suffer with the same symptoms, and tells us how parents should react when their curious children ask questions about someone with a visible difference. Stereotypes, stigma and preconceptions have all had to roll over and concede a big fat L to Adam who seems to just smash everything he turns his hand to. From working in television on much loved British shows such as ‘The Undateables’ and ‘Beauty And The Beast’, to breaking into Hollywood with jaw dropping performances in films like ‘Under The Skin’ and ‘A Different Man’. If one thing is clear in this episode… it’s that Adam was born simply to be a star. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Sep 8, 2025 · 1 hr 16 min589 - Never Have I Ever...
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 in major trouble at school, and why Alfie spent a year sleeping on the floor. Plus Jaack found a new beau at a festival, Stevie nearly dies during the pod, and Alfie has yet another midlife crisis. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Sep 4, 2025 · 2 hr 33 min588 - ZACK WILSON - WOLF OF WALL STREET TO KING OF THE ORCHARD! (Ex City Trader Turned Exotic Fruit Expert)
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-fatal car crash and the sudden death of his father on the day they were due to launch their new business together, Zack found himself at breaking point… then a box of fruit on his 27th birthday changed everything. Zack has now turned his pain into a purpose, by dedicating his life to learning about the healing powers of thousands of varieties of fruit. He shares which fruit is the most underrated medicine, and how you can use the properties of certain fruits to replace the feelings once gained through hard substances. Zack details his experiences with drugs Kambo, Bufo, and Ayahuasca, and exactly what happens when you visit a shaman. He also brings in a giant basket of exotic fruits - some we’ve never even heard of - and we end the pod with a taste testing! This is one of the rawest (excuse the pun) and most inspiring stories we’ve ever shared on the podcast.

Sep 1, 2025 · 1 hr 7 min587 - Alfie’s Wedding All Caught Up!
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 photos… Jaack somehow managed to accidentally annoy Alfie’s mum, AND disrespect someone who was simply serving food to guests.

Aug 28, 2025 · 1 hr 21 min586 - WHAT WILLY COOK 2.0 - Molested In Morocco, Duck Feet Doritos, & He HATED Our Gift To Him!
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 Zealand) and we put his food knowledge to the test as he goes head to head against Jack for a ‘weird foods’ quiz. What are singing hinnies? How would you serve lady fingers? Is headcheese as gross as it sounds? Speaking of gross food, Will tells us all about his experience at a fine dining restaurant abroad and why he’s been eating ice cream made to look like a decapitated duck. Jack and Stevie reveal what happened when they went to Berlin to try the kebab that made Will cry, and get his help to decide on a future jackandstevie.com video. Stevie talking about his childhood leads to Will disclosing how he himself was once molested.. but don’t worry, he keeps it lighthearted! We also give him a gift live on the pod but he HATES it… Listen to #504 for Will’s first Happy Hour appearance! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Aug 21, 2025 · 1 hr 49 min584 - ADAM RADCLIFFE - EXCLUSIVE First Podcast After Rowing From NYC to UK!
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 nights into the equation too… oh, and the fact there were 4 men… not 3. From the boat completely capsizing on day 9 and the boys being thrown into the Atlantic Ocean below, to encountering numerous Fin whales (the second biggest mammal on Earth), Adam and his fellow adventurers truly experienced it all. Was witnessing green comets lighting up the entire night sky awesome enough to offset the horrific sleeping conditions? Was the wonder of seeing dolphins in the wild beautiful enough to offset 2 months of pooing in buckets? Was breaking an official world rowing record enough to offset the constant laborious 3 hour shift patterns of consistent rowing for 56 days? Adam openly and honestly reveals all. Where do 4 men in the tight confines of a “coffin bed” relieve their… “desires” after weeks of no intimacy? How do you pack enough food into a tiny boat for 4 burly blokes to live off for 56 days? What happens when you encounter an Interstellar like wave that capsizes your boat and all of your belongings a week into a 2-month long mission? What happens when you have to perform DIY medical procedures on each other in the middle of the ocean? A massive congratulations to Adam, Jack, David and Sam from Team United We Conquer on completing a route so dangerous that it actually has a 7% death rate. Jack, Stevie and everybody else at Happy Hour are in awe of your strength and persistence! (Awe may have been a pun…) and thank you to Adam personally for choosing our podcast to be the first time you tell your story!

Aug 18, 2025 · 1 hr 7 min583 - Is It Weird To...?
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 they’ve gained weight? What about switching up the side of the bed you sleep on? They also weigh in on the acceptability of drinking a cup of tea outside, Googling yourself, and popping someone else’s spots. Jaack is weirdly okay with a few things the others aren’t too sure about… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Aug 14, 2025 · 1 hr 12 min582 - STEVE BRACKNALL - Ranking Football YouTubers, Brutally Rating PRIME, & Debating Utter Woke Nonsense!
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 table). Steve picks his greatest ever football manager, from Pep, to Klopp, to Fergie, to Wilder. He gives his expert opinion on which online content creator is truly the best footballer (spoiler, he doesn’t pick ChrisMD, Miniminter or AngryGinge) as well as sharing stories about rubbing shoulders with the likes of Noel Gallagher and Phil Foden. The boys also get the definitive answers on a few of football’s most ‘utter woke nonsense’ moments. Is it utter woke nonsense to not step on the home team’s crest? Is it utter woke nonsense to actually keep VAR? Is it utter woke nonsense for a player to not celebrate a goal against a former team? Steve doesn’t shy away from any of football’s hardest questions. That’s why he is OUR gaffer… or assistant gaffer, at least. Also, in what is almost definitely in one of Happy Hour’s best moments of 2025, Bracknall tries KSI’s Prime drink for the first time live on the podcast… and gives a brutally honest review.
