The boys unravel a stream of strangely curious but pointless questions - the kind that normally arrive when you’re zoning out while showering or, in Jaack’s case, sitting at a red light approximately 8 seconds before something crashes into the back of your car. 

We’re pondering if dogs truly know their names, whether a straw has one hole or two, if a fish can actually count as a pet, and whether punching yourself and feeling pain makes you strong or weak. 

Is the voice in your head really your own voice or more like mental subtitles narrating your life? Does everyone see the same colours as everyone else? Can you ever truly think of nothing?

In today’s episode, we sit down with Mr Doodle - one of the most unique artists on the planet - to hear about how he’s turned the world into his very own canvas for his signature “graffiti spaghetti” and viral art projects. 

Sam talks us through the two year process of covering every inch of his six-bed, £1.6million home in black and white doodles, his wife’s reaction, and what it’s actually like to live inside his own potentially migraine-inducing artwork. 

Sam openly discusses his psychotic episode, what he experienced during his stint in a psych ward, his hallucinations involving Covid and Banksy, and whether he thinks his doodling obsession was a potential factor in his psychosis diagnosis. 

We also hear about fatherhood, his thoughts on AI’s role in the future of art, and the surprising link between Sam and Stevie. Stick around to the end of the episode where we ask Sam to leave his iconic mark on our studio wall!

Jaack dives deep into five of the most debated mysteries ever recorded. We’re exploring a merchant ship whose entire crew vanished without a trace. There’s an incident in the frozen Russian wilderness, where nine hikers met a bizarre and terrifying fate. 

Next is the puzzling disappearance of a pilot who vanished from a runway along with an entire Boeing 727 - never to be seen again. We hear about the eerie case of an unexplained disappearance in Minnesota which led to the passing of a new law. 

Finally, perhaps the most unsettling mystery of all, involving unsettling CCTV footage that baffles people to this day. Each mystery sparks curious speculation from Stevie and Robbie as they trade theories (some logical and some wild) and try to piece together what really happened. Are these mysteries destined to remain unsolved?

Arsenal’s greatest ever football manager Arsene Wenger once described today’s guest as “never flashy or flamboyant, instead, he played with a calm precision that anchored the chaos around him”. And to be quite honest, this sums up exactly how the legendary Gilberto Silva is as a podcast guest too. 

In a welcome change of pace to the usual high energy Happy Hour guest eps, Gilberto oozes class and composure as he retells the story of his career. From quitting football at the age of 16 to look after his poorly mother, to watching his dad work 18 hour days on a sugarcane farm, Gilberto was destined to make a better future for his family. 

We’ve had Hollywood actors on Happy Hour. We’ve even had gold medal winning Olympians. But today might just top the lot as Jaack and Stevie sit across from a man who has lifted the greatest honour in football… the World Cup. 

Silva talks in-depth about the Brazil 2002 squad that he was an integral part of. The same squad that won the tournament in Japan/Korea that summer. He gives us his raw opinion on his iconic teammates such as Kaka, Cafu, Carlos, Ronaldinho, R9, Rivaldo and more, as well as sharing behind-the-scenes stories that’ll blow your mind. You’ll never guess what the Brazil squad were doing in the changing room just 15 minutes before the World Cup final…

Shenanigans has just returned from a solo trip to South Africa, where he predictably got smashed on wine but also unpredictably found himself in a scrap at a football match.

Stevie has been a bit of a rebel by stealing from Tesco, and glassing a woman. He lost all his bad boy aura though when he shows the boys his new medical device… 

Jaack unveils his new questionable tattoo born from a lost bet. Speaking of tats, Stevie travelled to Peterborough to surprise a viewer and you will be horrified (and slightly aroused) to see her tattoo! 

Plus, Jaack and Stevie share spooky stories from their visit to the most haunted village in the UK, and tell us about playing football with Roberto Carlos!

T'is the season for SPOOKINESS, and what better way to wrap up Happy Hourween than the big boy special? (Or big girl special... or big dog special - whatever you want to call it really!)

Each day this week we've dropped a mini spooky episode on your feeds for you greedy goblins to gobble up, so now it's time for the bumper Hourween special! This year, the boys are dressed as iconic horror movie characters and if you've not yet seen the visuals and fancy trying to guess the characters, here are my cryptic clues:

If you're not yet SICK of Robbie's scary shenanigans, want more of Jaack's CLOWNING around, and are completely ready for Stevie to pour a shit ton of BEETLE JUICE all over you, then you're in the right place! (Okay, admittedly, I couldn't think of a good clue for Stevie...)

This year's Hourween special is bound to make you shit yourselves as Stevie brings back his Two Sentence Horrors (this time, upgrading them to Third Sentence Worse!) Robbie cleans the rust from his keys and unlocks his decrepit Creepy Library infamously known for its child murder themes... although this time, he ensures us there will be absolutely none of that. Jaack brings a real life horror story to the pod, and we finish the episode with a Happy Hour listener's actual terrifying baby monitor footage that led to her calling up the vicar!

HAPPY HOURWEEEEEEEN!

Welcome back to Happy Hourween - five days of chilling tales concluding with a bumper Halloween special. Stevie is taking on our second episode of the series with “Warning, Bears Exist”.
