528 - Happy Hour's Big Fat Quiz Of The Year 2024! (ft. Darragh Ennis and Matt Richardson)
There’s major competition between Darragh and Stevie to see who can out-nerd each other. Jaack confesses something horrific he did in bed and Darragh offers some very helpful advice. And despite not being a football fan, Matt drops some insane ball knowledge.
Happy New Year from all of us at Happy Hour, and see you next year for more FourSkins silliness!
527 - HAPPY HOUR CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 2024! Secret Diaries, Sausage Rolls and Secret Santa Shenanigans!
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! 💛
512 - HAPPY HOURWEEN 2024 - Stevie's Trick or Treat! (ft MYSTERY GUESTS!)
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.
2024's Happy Hourween (in the humble opinions of the entire HH team) is by far the greatest Hourween yet. We hope you agree!
500 - HAPPY HOUR'S 500TH EPISODE SPECIAL!
Jaack, Stevie, Robbie & Alfie don their inflatable golden crowns (except Jaack) and crack open a beer (except Alfie) as they reminisce and reflect on 500 episodes of friendship (except Stevie).
The boys indulge in a multitude of Happy Hour fan favourite mini segments including Robbie’s Creepy Library, Jaack’s scripts, and Alfie’s Amazing Indraviduals, and fan un-favourite Stevie’s Urban Legends. But it’s not all love and celebration, as the boys find out the brutal results of the listener voted polls. Questions such as worst dressed host, unfunniest host and creepiest are all answered and the boys are NOT happy...
In almost 3 hours of Happy Hour nonsense, the boys are 500 not out. Thanks so much to each and every listener who continues to show our silly show unbridled, unwavering support. Here’s to the next 500? Viva La Happy Hour!
478 - Euro 2024 Special ft. James Allcott and Ellis Platten!
Happy Hour is BACK! And in this Euro special, the boys are joined by football content kings James Allcott and Ellis Platten! The boys discuss the best goal they've ever seen live, all the way through to the second greatest sport. Is it tennis? Is it darts? It's definitely not rugby.
Ellis and James, along with football idiots Jaack and Stevie, predict every match from England's group games, including a surprise result against Denmark. James explains why he thinks Ronaldo will be having the tournament of his life, and Ellis tries to justify why football is truly coming home.
The boys also go head-to-head in a Euro themed quiz written by quiz-master himself JaackMaate. Which nation has made the most finals? Alongside Harry Kane, which England player has the most Euro caps? Who scored the most goals? It's all to play for in this tense Happy Hour Euros quiz!
463 - HARDEST GEEZER II - Exclusive First Podcast Since Running The Length Of Africa
We caught up with Russ in our first ever out-of-studio podcast, mere hours after Russ became the first human being in history to run from the most southernly point in Africa, to the most northern tip. Jaack, Stevie and Fiona travelled out to Tunisia to witness Russ accomplish the unthinkable and cross that finish line, before diving into the Mediterranean sea. In what seems like a full circle moment, just a day after the mission finished, Russ was incredibly generous to allow Happy Hour to be the first place to share his incredible story.
From being robbed at gunpoint in Angola, to cooking an untraditional Christmas dinner in the Guinean rainforest, to crossing the finish line on a Tunisian beach, Russ Cook’s story is truly awe inspiring. From injuries to sickness, not even the worst bouts of crippling blisters and explosive diarrhoea could derail Russ and his team’s mission. From deadly wildlife, to police escorts, to army raids, to Saharan hallucinations... if it wasn’t already absolutely clear, then today’s episode should help clarify exactly why Russ chose the alias Hardest Geezer.
But it’s not just Russ who shares tales of ProjectAfrica today, we also chat with Emily - Russ’ amazing girlfriend, on just how she has been coping over the past year. Russ' cameraman Stan also jumps on to share some mad stories involving villainous pirates. It’s all happening on this very special, very unique episode of Happy Hour.
440 - Happy Hour's Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2023! (ft. Angry Ginge and Danny Aarons)
With Jaack as quizmaster, Ginge & Danny also take on Stevie White to see who remembers the most pointless stuff from 2023. Remember the name of the submarine that imploded in June? What did the government ban in October? Which celebrity revealed that they put lip balm on their frostbitten penis? If you think you know the answers, then why not play along at home?!
There are a total of 70 points up for grabs, so sit back, grab a notepad and pen (or an iPad if you’re a posh sod) and see how many of the questions you get right!
Post your answers to X, Insta or Reddit and we’ll share as many as we can! Happy New Year, thank you for all the support you've shown throughout 2023, and we’ll be back in 2 weeks time to kick off 2024’s Happy Hour campaign!
438 - HAPPY HOUR CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 2023! * Interactive Pantomime! *
No Christmas episode is complete without a round of Secret Santa, which is by far the best Secret Santa in Happy Hour’s 5 year existence! Jaack reveals his excruciatingly embarrassing Starbucks stories involving 2 women who clearly worked out. Robbie met the real Santa Claus, and Jake’s still putting the worst thing imaginable on his Yorkshire puddings...
However, in perhaps one of Happy Hour’s most hilarious moments ever, the boys read their Christmas Panto (written by Jaack). And if you thought The Human Centipede 4 was weird… this might just top it.
Happy Christmas you LOVELY lot from all of us here at Happy Hour HQ!

There's stories about tent intruders, stolen booze, festival fails, celebrity encounters, and Jaack has an apology for something he said on stage...
343 - Happy Hour's Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2022!
The Fourskins are in full force as Stevie, Robbie & Alfie take on Jaack's rather dubious quiz of the year, that is equally as big as it is fat. Categories ranging from 'Viral Twitter Moments' to 'Animal Stories' to 'Celebrities' are covered this year as the boys look back over 2022's biggest moments.
