    536 - DAN TIERNAN - From Dyspraxic Dinner Lady, To British Comedian Of The Year!
    Feb 6 2025
    In this episode of Happy Hour, we spend 90 minutes with comedian Dan Tiernan who is as brilliant as he is bizarre. From dealing with dyspraxia, to working as a school dinner lady, to being crowned British Comedian Of The Year in 2022 - Dan doesn’t like to take the conventional path. His second EVER stand up gig was an impromptu set in New York, and he’s performed at Live At The Apollo with one of Jaack’s comedy heroes! He’s also tried his hand at acting (he caused a TV show to be axed after his appearance) and performing magic (Dan details a gruesome injury from when his trick went wrong). He shares why an audience member threw his entire drink over him at one of his shows, and the insult dealt by fellow comic John Richardson that Dan will never forgot. We also chat about his gout diagnosis, how gout affects his daily life, what his first gout symptoms were, what caused his gout… what we’re trying to say here is that it’s a very “gout heavy” episode. If you take just one thing away from this episode, make it Dan’s life-saving Natwest banking hack! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    535 - Celebrities Ask The FourSkins Weirdly Personal Questions...
    Feb 3 2025
    The ball machine. The mystical contraption where previous Happy Hour guests submit weird and wonderful questions to be answered by future guests. Its shiny red button has been tempting us for months, and we’ve finally caved. The FourSkins are digging deep (in Stevie’s ball bag) to answer some of those questions - some are silly, some are serious, a lot are sex related. From the most ridiculous hypothetical scenarios to the deepest darkest confessions, we promise to answer honestly (sometimes way too honestly). Angry Ginge asks the age-old question: ever sucked someone’s toes? (We won’t spoil the answer, but you might be surprised) Luke Littler raises a life-or-death dilemma involving the Grim Reaper. Sam Tompkins’ question leads us to unpack the logistical nightmare of living as a literal house. TommyInnit investigates our shagging preferences, FrostBit Boy is curious about our fetishes, and Darragh Ennis is daring us to swim with predators (not the neighbour kind).

  • 534 - JOE MARLER - Rank Rugby Initiations, Kissed By A Killer, & STEALING From Peter Crouch!

    534 - JOE MARLER - Rank Rugby Initiations, Kissed By A Killer, & STEALING From Peter Crouch!
    Jan 30 2025
    You just have to take one look at Jaack and Stevie to come to the conclusion that they’re not exactly “rugby boys”. Cue retired England rugby legend Joe Marler. With precisely zero rugby knowledge between the hosts, Joe gives us a crash course in rugby and even puts Jaack’s newfound skills to the test with an actual scrum! Rugby has plenty of weird terms for the boys to learn. What is a Mulligrubber? How about an Alickadoo? Rugby players are also infamous for their gross initiations - Joe tells us stories involving spider pig, scissoring and spanking. We cover his Haka controversy, coming out of retirement, and his podcast interviewing people with obscure jobs. And we maaaay have accidentally caused beef between Joe Marler and Danny Aarons… Joe’s humour perfectly fits the vibe of Happy Hour, and this 90 minutes feels more like a main show than a Thursday guest interview!

    533 - Not So Superpowers 2
    Jan 27 2025
    Jaack has come up with a list of bizarre superpowers that the boys can choose to gain, however each superpower comes with a caveat that may make them wish they stayed a mere mortal. Would you want the ability to swim insanely fast, but you constantly stink of fish? Never have to wipe after a poop, but peeing takes 5x longer? Gain 3 inches in penis length but lose 3 inches of height? (High brow stuff). Elite fighting skills, irresistible to strangers, walking through walls… each superpower comes with a big catch. Plus it's not just the powers that are questionable as Jaack has a hygiene confession AND a sexual confession that we’re pretty sure he should have kept to himself… Check out #412 for the first instalment of Not So Superpowers!

    532 - TOM DAVIS - BAFTA Winner, Bad Auditions, & Bludgeoning Pigeons!
    Jan 23 2025
    We sit down with the multi-talented comedian, actor and all-around lovely geezer Tom Davis who has us howling for 90 minutes! Tom’s first job as a scaffolder is a far cry from the red carpets he walks today. Despite having never had any acting lessons, Tom stars in Wonka and Paddington 2. He shares what Timothée Chalamet is like off screen, and why the trailer he was given on set caused a bit of a problem! Tom co-created BAFTA winning ‘Murder In Successville’ which, despite ITV not being keen on the sitcom in the first script read through, went on to have a Netflix USA adaptation. Tom went from being a scaffolder to a stand up comedian in just a few years - though not without a few bad gigs along the way, especially a particularly bad set at Download festival where bodily fluids were thrown at him… We also chat about his podcast Wolf and Owl with fellow comic Romesh Ranganathan, and his one bad habit that had his viewers fuming. Plus why he’s not a huge supporter of Edinburgh Fringe, his scary footie match experience, and one of his early jobs scaring pigeons! Learn more about your ad choices.

    531 - Theories That Will RUIN Your Childhood!
    Jan 20 2025
    Nostalgia is beautiful. Looking back on our childhood with fond memories of sitting cross legged on the floor in front of the telly watching our favourite kids tv shows and movies for hours on end. Harmless, right? Wrong. Bro Hippo Stevie (for once that’s not an insult from us) has done a deep dive and found them to not be quite as innocent as we thought… How many childhood characters are secretly nonces? Is Harry Potter a murderer? Sex scenes in Spongebob? Schizophrenia in Finding Nemo? Incest in Rugrats? 100 mental illnesses in Hundred Acre Wood? WARNING: you will never be able to look at Fiona from Shrek the same way again… Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Jan 16 2025
    Stand up comedian Russell Howard drops by to become Happy Hour’s first guest of 2025 and, much like his first appearance in 2021 (ep #238), he does not disappoint! Whilst Russell’s heartwarming tales of becoming a dad for a first time will hopefully have your heart full… hearing the phrase “lucky jizz” later in the pod will definitely just have your heart full of questions... Russell shares why his dad had to stop kissing him, and the insanely valuable gift from Ed Sheeran that he LOST. From being mugged for cupcakes, to awkward supermarket encounters, to the disgusting habit that made him late for his own gig, this episode is packed full of silly stories bound to set up the end of your week nicely!
