Spooky

512 - HAPPY HOURWEEN 2024 - Stevie's Trick or Treat! (ft MYSTERY GUESTS!)

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).

480 - BRITISH Urban Legends!

Just when you thought we’d left urban legends in a dusty corner of the Happy Hour episode locker… they’re BACK and this time Stevie is treating us (or torturing us) with urban legends from Great Britain! If only the stories were as great as the location…

We’re delving into the stories of Spring-heeled Jack, The Phantom Ferryman of Pier 13, The Devil’s Footprints, and The Ghost Of Bluebell Hill. There’s a twist, as Stevie reveals that one of the stories in this episode was AI generated - can you guess which one?

Plus, we heard your cries, we read your comments, and we have FINALLY given you the infamous Sin Pig story! So without further ado, sit back and enjoy Little Boy’s Brexit Legends (this will make sense if you listen to this episode…)

476 - Wet Bag's Creepy Library! (BIGGEST PLOT TWISTS)

It’s the long awaited return of Robbie’s creepy library and he’s brought plenty of tales with huge plot twists! With significantly less child murder than our previous creepy library episode, this one features an unassuming shy kid at school hiding a deadly secret, a father seeking revenge for his son’s untimely death, and drawings that turned out to be a lot more sinister than what first meets the eye….

Check out episodes #228 and #372 for more creepy library stories!

473 - IS THIS A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX?

We’re exploring “glitches in the matrix” - peculiar events that seemingly can only be explained by the possibility that we’re living in a simulation… or drugs.

Cheating death, missing children, infinite water bottles, duplicate parents and phone calls from beyond the grave all feature in today’s episode.

Robbie shares his own glitches that made him question reality, and things get DEEP as we discuss the illusion of sight and sound, and whether other people even exist?!

Should Mack Bean have gone to the police with the murder evidence he stumbled across, or was he simply a witness to a real life glitch in the matrix?

455 - VERY SUPERSTITIOUS - Bizarre Superstitions & Bad Luck Omens

If a black cat crosses the road in front of you, does it ruin your entire day? Does the irrational fear build up inside you until you have to knock on wood to reverse the bad luck spell? Regardless of your answer - we have no idea what that means!

Jaack, Stevie & Alfie sit down to discuss the strange superstitions that sweep our nation, from walking under ladders to stepping on three drains to breaking a mirror, we’ve all heard these bizarre beliefs and how they supposedly bring us bad luck - but do they?

Will listening to this episode bring you seven years of bad luck? No. Will you learn something you can tell your mates down the pub? Potentially. Will Jaack spend a good 10 minutes reading a Spanish nursery rhyme about a cat for no real reason? Yes.

So sit back, relax, throw some salt over your shoulder and indulge in today’s mysterious main show!

452 - Creating Our Own Dream Urban Legends!

It’s a double main show week! The FourSkins are remixing some Happy Hour favourites (or unfavourites) by combining Urban Legends with our popular ‘Dream’ episodes!

We’re each creating our very own fearsome creature, giving it a name, choosing a backstory, sharing its powers and weaknesses, and showing how to summon and escape it.

Robbie’s is a spin off of a current well known urban legend, Alfie’s revenge-themed story is based on a real life event that happened to him, and Jaack’s legend is based on what we can only assume are some ketamine-induced hallucinations.

Oh and if there are any doctors listening, could you please let us know if dead bodies can get erections? Asking for a friend, thanks.

422 - HAPPY HOURWEEN 2023

For the first time ever, the boys are high in the studio! Extremely giddy and dressed up in full prosthetics - the perfect combo for our Happy Hourween 2023 special.

There’s fan favourites like Robbie’s creepy library and Jaack’s Reddit mysteries, and fan un-favourites like Stevie’s urban legends. We also have voice notes submitted by our audience telling their own spooky experiences, and Robbie has brought us apparently every story that he could find on child murder. Happy Halloween!

420 - The Human Centipede 4: The Human Millipede

Jaack has finally committed to doing something that he said he would do - he's written an entire script for The Human Centipede 4! Stevie, Robbie and Alfie all have starring roles but haven't pre-read the script so you'll be seeing their genuine reactions to Jaack's disturbing imagination...

The Human Centipede 4: The Human Millipede

One major plan. One million pedes.

Written and narrated by Jack Dean.

Starring Stevie White, Robbie Knox, and Alfie Indra.

A Mack Bean production.

Based a real made up story.

Rated "U" for "U gotta be mental to enjoy this".

408 - WEIRD CRYPTIDS (Gef The Talking Mongoose, The Squonk and Louisiana Wookie!)

The boys are delving into cryptids - animals that are said to exist but whose existence is disputed or unsubstantiated, such as the Loch Ness Monster. Stevie is teaching us about the evolutionary enigma that is the tailed slow loris, the Honey Island Swamp Monster that is a product of some crazy interspecies sexy time, the adorably miserable Squonk, and Gef The Talking Mongoose - which is just as mental as it sounds!

And speaking of completely made up stories... Stevie talks about his recent driving test! Plus Robbie's been hanging out with celebrities in Scotland, and Jaack shares his run in with death AND the law!

392 - MORE Japanese Urban Legends! (Cursed Poems, Badly Translated Stories and More!)

Stevie is dusting off his urban legends book and gathering us round the campfire to read us more spooky tales from Japan! Jaack and Alfie are reacting to a doomed mountain tunnel associated with real life deaths, an attractive spirit that lures in unsuspecting men, and a hungry wife hiding a huge secret from her husband...

Plus Tomino's Hell - a poem said to curse the person reading it aloud (you didn't think that one through did you Stevie...), and a story about a demon who snatches body parts that is so badly translated, it's got us in stitches!

372 - Robbie's Creepy Library! (Mr Wide Mouth, Momo, & More!)

Robbie is bringing his creepy library to our brand new studio for the first time! In the most chaotic episode, we're hearing about mutilated parents, a monster named Mr Wide Mouth, and a burglary that went down a route we would have never expected it to go down, or should I say up...

346 - Japanese Urban Legends! (ButtEye, Red Room Curse and More...)

For the first Urban Legends episode of Series 7, we’re venturing to Japan! Stevie tells us the many reasons why you should be careful when using the bathroom in Japan, including a legless ghost, and a cruel toilet paper trick. Plus we’re reacting to the highly requested tale of Shirime, who you may know as the man with an eye for a butthole…

There’s also the Japanese versions of Bloody Mary (Hanako-san), and Annabelle (the haunted doll of Hokkaido whose hair never stops growing), an urban legend that inspired a key detail in Squid Game, and a lethal online game with a real life backstory involving an 11 year old who murdered her school mate.
