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.

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.

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.

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.

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!  Plus Jaack explains his beef with a local running organisation...  Learn more about your ad choices.

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

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

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.  Order your own customised exotic fruit boxes at thefifthorchard.co.uk Learn more about your ad choices.

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.  Oh and in other news, Stevie gives us an update on his deformed skull.  Learn more about your ad choices.

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

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!  You guys can still donate and add to the £100,000 already raised for the Heads Up charity (a UK-based organization focused on mental health support for the armed forces community) here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/tuwc?fbclid=PARlRTSAMSyHdleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABp6pmD-OgIz2WL_8Opp1NjHWZFkcPoMampVm1LKoqeOtUxGgboCdFzRt57ZSh_aem_jGEijFgidawUvfhQoap3-w You can also follow Adam’s journey (and inevitable next mission) on his socials down below. https://www.instagram.com/adamradclifts https://youtube.com/@adamradcliffe Learn more about your ad choices.

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

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.  Grab tour tickets to see Steve Bracknall live HERE - https://www.tegeurope.com/events/steve-bracknall-live-gen-sale/ Learn more about your ad choices.

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 ask one vital question. Robbie divulges the cunning plan his family are formulating to kidnap a famous local pet.  Stevie shares how he discovered that he has a deformed skull. Jaack tells us all about his recent trip to Vegas, the randomer he befriended and what he got up to when he hung out with the world’s 4th best poker player. Oh and you’ll never guess who he saw drunkenly stumbling down the strip…  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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. Example reveals the whole process, the weird costume ideas he was offered, and the contestant who stormed off stage.  We ask him to blind rank festivals he’s performed at, and he has a bone to pick with Reading and Leeds. There’s travel chat, but not your conventional destinations - anyone for some radiation poisoning in Chernobyl? Watch to find out the promise he makes to the boys regarding a tattoo. We also couldn’t let him leave without settling the beef once and for all… does he hate Alfie Indra for asking about his foreskin?  Check out #088, #219, #290 and #382 for Example’s previous episodes.  Learn more about your ad choices.

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 is arguing for over whether people who drink alcohol are boring, and Jaack is adamant that influencing IS a proper job. Robbie also has a really good reason as to why the world should stop having children... PLUS we get a long awaited update on the Etsy witch curse and whether Alfie pissed himself on his stag do. If you enjoyed this, check out #404, #443 and #447 for our previous argumental episodes! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

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 such a cringingly beloved character, what his wife and children think of his unconventional job, and the WORST gig he’s ever been booked for (which involves a deceased person…) Tim tells us about the time he met Ricky himself, and what Ricky thinks of having a copycat! Plus what it was like to be Ricky’s body double for the Muppets movie, and the huge mistake he made on a Hollywood set.  Whether you’re a die-hard fan of The Office and want to learn some Brent-isms, or just fascinated by the world of professional impersonators, give this ep a go!
