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 roasting eachother.
Alfie got a healthy dose of peer pressure to force him into drinking alcohol and the half a pint went straight to his head. Father Rizzmas is back for his most exuberant appearance yet. Robbie brought in some fancy crackers from John Lewis, but the surprises inside are NOT what we expected…
Jaack had an awkward miscommunication at Harry Potter world, and Jack Smith talks about his own visit there where he took a wrong turn and ended up somewhere he DEFINITELY should not have been!
We play a game where we all anonymously answer questions about eachother, but will our friendship stand up to it? Alfie has kept his promise to write and perform a festive grime rap, but does it live up to expectations? We said last year’s Secret Santa was the best one we’ve ever done… but does this one top it?!
Merry Christmas from all of us here at Happy Hour! 💛

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 anxiety attacks on stage, and the time an ambulance had to be called. We play a game of “who’s the most…” where he shares his brutally honest opinion of his fellow darts pros. The behind-the-scenes of a darts champion's pre- and post-match routines leaves Alfie with more questions than answers. Plus we come up with a brand new celebration that Luke promises to do if (when) he wins!
Luke shares how much money he’s earnt and his future plans for his fortune, secrets we don’t know about the official trophy, and the one small change he made that took his skill to the next level. We dive deep into his life off the oche too, including his weight loss transformation (dropping 4 stone in just 6 months), his unlikely celebrity mates, and how his job before becoming a pro darts player left his physically scarred.

In today’s Main Show Monday, Jaack, Stevie, Robbie and Alfie work together to officially crown the best Christmas movie, song, and food of all time. No other podcast’s opinion matters, no food critique or movie reviewer can delve quite as deep into these festive debates as we’re about to…
Fiona is letting me (Jaack) write this episode description for the first time in years. She told me I need to creatively tease the episode well enough so that you guys just HAVE to listen, so here goes:
Elf? Home Alone? The Grinch? Zoella’s Advent Calendar Brutal Honest Review? Which film truly belongs at the top of the Christmas tree, and which is truly just a sack of coal dumped in the outhouse? (I don’t know what an outhouse is. Just sounded cool in my head)
WHAM! A great Christmas song or just a word used at the start of this paragraph to capture your attention? Who knows. Maybe you find out in this episode? Maybe you don’t. Maybe this episode is LITERALLY just the Fourskins blind ranking Christmas movies, films and food.
How else can I explain this? How else can I possibly sell this episode to you? It’s Christmas, you have nothing better to do, and you damn well know that deep down you love this shit.
Oh - before I go, and sign off the best episode description of all time, I will say this… wait for Robbie getting exposed over his love for a certain female pop star. Question marks are raised.

In this episode we sit down with YouTuber John Nellis, a man whose career trajectory has been anything but ordinary. From his early days as a magician performing tricks for wedding guests, to a high-stakes and high-stress job as an air traffic controller, to raking bunkers on a golf course, to a life-changing experience working at an American camp for adults with learning disabilities, John has fascinating stories from every job he’s had!
John opens up about his journey into the world of social media, initially with a fantasy football podcast, and how he transitioned into creating viral content with creative partner Alex, who is the mastermind behind a hugely popular TikTok format that everyone uses today! After taking a leap of faith and quitting his job at just 7,000 subscribers, John now travels the world and collaborates with footballers like Mbappé, Pique, Zidane, Kobbie Mainoo, and more!

Our comments have recently been complaining that Happy Hour has gone “woke”, so we’re fixing that. For today’s episode, we’re literally putting the “agony” in agony aunts with yet another painful listen as Jaack, Stevie and Alfie (or to use his official title “Head Aunt”) are attempting to offer solutions to YOUR problems.
We cover XL bullies, anime girls, placentas, small nans, Page 3 models, incest, cheating and so much more!
Alfie trying breast milk straight from the teat? Check. Stevie sharing how out of hand Jaack’s Deliveroo addiction has become? Check. Jaack oversharing once again? Check.

In today’s Happy Hour (and a half) the boys are joined by funny man Simon Brodkin (who you may also know as his working class comedy character Lee Nelson!) 10 years ago almost to the day, Simon was one of the first people Jaack ever interviewed, so it felt apt to bring him back for a full circle moment to remember! Simon’s only tattoo might say “no regrets” but Jaack certainly has one after a highly embarrassing quickfire question…
What is it like to gatecrash American president Donald Trump on a golf course? HOW did Simon not get shot for his antics? Marginally, is the answer. Simon reveals everything that happened both before and after he pranked Trump.
Simon explains just how he managed to join Kanye West on stage, unannounced, during his headline Glastonbury set causing Kanye to stop the entire show! Theresa May, the Man City team, Volkswagen and the president of FIFA Sepp Blatter have all also been on the receiving end of Brodkin’s stunts… and there’s no stone left unturned today as the boys discuss them all in great detail.
And if that’s not enough TOP CLASS PODCAST CONTENT, the boys also dig into Simon’s previous work before stand-up, in which he worked for a year as a doctor. What’s it like to see a human dead body? Forget that. Simon can tell you what it’s like to dissect a human dead body.
Today’s episode is almost guaranteed to enter the top shelf of Happy Hour classic guest episodes, and if you love Simon as much as we do and want more of him, you can go and see him live on tour here - https://www.simonbrodkin.com/simons-tour/

TikTok sensation, comedian, and Minions enthusiast Isaac H.P may just be the funniest (and weirdest) guest to ever grace the virgin table! In a wild 90-minute chat, Isaac talks about his "Grucifixion" short film (featuring a real 6 foot crucifix from a nunnery), his bizarre hangover cure, being molested by ghosts, and how he dealt with a genuine stalker.
Isaac has the best answer we’ve ever heard for our Hall Of Fame question, and speaking about his dad’s struggles with addiction somehow makes the boys crease. Isaac shares why he was kicked out of his very first stand up gig, and how his catchphrase led to him nearly being mugged! He also had has an unusual connection to Jaack and turns out he’s had a violent history with Jaack’s family members!
Isaac opens up about his journey from stand-up to TikTok to documentary maker, revealing the ups and downs of his career, including a £1k trip to Bedford's nightclub where no one showed up. He tells us what it was like to film with Beavo, and has a sincere apology for M Dot R.
If you’re familiar with Isaac’s comedy character, you’ll be able to see another side (and voice) of him in this episode. Expect laughs, chaos and a whole lot of unexpected tangents as Isaac keeps Jaack and Stevie cracking up throughout the entire episode.

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…

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 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?

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!

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'!

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.

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.

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.

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...

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?

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…
