JaackMaate’s Happy Hour

Despite growing up in an affluent area and attending boarding school, etiquette expert William Hanson is refreshingly self aware and his sharp wit had us cracking up throughout this nearly 2 hour episode! We cover everything from the etiquette surrounding reclining your plane seat, tipping in restaurants, and even how to properly pass a blunt! William shares the naughty item he bought on eBay that got his account banned, and tells us about an interaction that left him wanting to drop kick an elderly woman... We test William’s knowledge of quintessential council estate things. Has he ever set foot in a Spoons? Has he ever downed a Jägerbomb? Ever been on a sticky nightclub floor? Eaten a turkey dinosaur? Used a paper napkin instead of cloth? Plus we give William a challenge to complete on his own podcast 'Help I Sexted My Boss'! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Following on from ep #503, Jaack, Stevie and Robbie are answering MORE questions from our subreddit! If we had to do another job different to podcasting, what would it be? If every Happy Hour guest had to fight to the death, who would be the last 3 in the arena? Would you rather find 1,000 cockroaches or a stranger living in your attic? Why isn’t the podcast at the top of charts any more? There’s also one question that makes the boys cringe so hard they can barely answer it.  Plus Stevie is in massive trouble with his wife, Jaack has a new wife, and Robbie has… been to the National Cat Awards.  Bambino Becky ruined this entire episode so if you weren’t a fan of it, blame her!  *FYI this episode was recorded more than a month ago - we promise we haven’t only just discovered Moo Deng and Pesto.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In today’s incredibly honest and refreshingly light-hearted interview with The King of Chemo, we delve into the life of the very funny irishman Iain Ward who shares his unexpected journey into the world of terminal cancer after a somewhat random and accidental diagnosis under pretty rare circumstances.  From the initial diagnosis, to being kept awake during actual brain surgery, Iain has shown nothing but unrelenting grit to not only personally make the most of what time he has left - but to help inspire millions of others along the way too as he discusses his phenomenal fitness feats with Jaack & Stevie. Terminal cancer might have dramatically cut Iain’s life expectancy down, but it won’t stop him as he aims to break the world record for most money raised through running marathons.  Today’s podcast is not all about Iain’s medical ordeal but also about the psychological journey, his fears, aspirations, priorities, uncertainty, and ultimately, his incredibly profound outlook on life. Iain's response to his diagnosis has been nothing short of inspirational. Instead of succumbing to despair, he channeled his energy into helping others, helping aid charities that support cancer research and provide comfort to those also battling the disease.  Iain also chats with Jaack about Jaack’s health anxiety. It’s no secret that Iain’s diagnosis would be Jaack’s worst nightmare - a lifelong fear of his. So we ask Iain, is it silly, or perhaps even offensive, for Jaack to worry about something that is not directly effecting him? What is Iain’s opinion on health anxiety?  Does Iain want a girlfriend? To get married? To have kids? Has his relationship with material things changed? Does he value money more or less? Has he planned his funeral? The boys ask questions they’d usually be too scared to ask somebody with terminal cancer, but Iain’s openness, warmth and jovial outlook lends itself to a raw honesty that made for an incredibly open interview. We hope that this episode is not only a testament to Iain Ward's personal journey but also serves as a beacon of hope and action for listeners who are experiencing similar struggles. Through his story, we learn about the unpredictability of life, the importance of giving back, and the unexpected curveballs that life can throw at us. Iain’s online alias may be The King Of Chemo, but all of us at Happy Hour think he might actually just be The King. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jaack, Robbie, Alfie, and Black Box Bitch are taking a pinch of Ladbible, a sprinkle of Reddit submissions, and adding in a healthy dollop of strong opinions… to give us the truly novel concept that has never ever been seen before (except when we did it on episode #511) - ‘AGREE OR DISAGREE’. Should you have to retake your driving test every 30 years? Are crisps overrated? Does Stevie have the best looking penis out of the group? Is Norwich better than London? Does it annoy us when people think they know us from the pod? Is sex overrated? Plus ugly kids, cats vs dogs, goblin sex, and more! Jaack has some VERY strong opinions on who shouldn't be allowed to start a podcast, Robbie has a great argument for why people shouldn't use the phrase 'midlife crisis', and Alfie... doesn't know what he thinks.
