JaackMaate’s Happy Hour

Dear viewers,

Us FourSkins have come to the realisation that we made a BIG mistake by asking you all to submit your assumptions about us, which we vowed to answer honestly.

Yours sincerely, 

Stinky Steve, Shit Balls and Electric Head Boy (and Robbie)

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!

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…

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.

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…

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.

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!

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!

Following on from the Lionesses incredible Euros victory, Stevie has decided to create his very own tournament - The World Cup Of Urban Legends! He’s found 16 urby legs from different countries and is using a randomised wheel to decide which 6 are going head to head in the first instalment, but he’s accidentally drawn all the sexy ones…

There’s a seductive sadist teacher in red heels, a hot hybrid creature with a whip for a tail, and a beautiful blonde Brazilian who haunts bathrooms. Oh and something horrifying called “necropants”.

Rapper, MC and viral sensation Greg AKA Window Kid needs to be on your radar. He sets the record straight about the origin of his stage name, chats incorporating humour in his lyrics, and shares what chaotic pal Mashtag Brady is actually like off camera. 

From being kicked out of school (Stevie was horrified at the reason, Jaack didn’t think it was too bad), to earning himself a lifetime ban from Jet2 airlines, Window Kid dives into the unpredictable path that took him from troublemaker to touring the UK. 

Greg gets brutally honest about his struggles with alcoholism and drugs, and the hospitalisation that forced him to rethink everything. After peeing blood and being diagnosed with life-threatening pancreatitis, he’s now one year sober and shares how addiction has permanently changed his life. 

We also play a game “Fill In The Blank” with his bizarre old tweets, learn some Nottingham lingo, and FaceTime a taxi driver who once gave him a lift years ago. It’s also the second time that a guest has walked out of the studio, but unlike the PieFace prank on Stevie, this time it’s something that Jaack said… 

The pre-sale tickets for Window Kid’s UK tour has completely sold out, but join the waiting list for general sale ticket launch on Friday!
