JaackMaate’s Happy Hour

We’re joined by the insanely talented rock guitarist Sophie Lloyd who tours with Jaack’s arch nemesis Machine Gun Kelly. Sophie shares how playing for MGK came about, including the DM that started it all and why he reached out to her in the first place. Of course we had to ask Sophie about the infamous photo that Jaack took with MGK at Reading Festival… Is he aware of the meme? Why was he so grumpy? What is he actually like in real life? 

We hear what happens on a Machine Gun Kelly tour bus (mainly drugs) and the chaotic story of how Sophie’s mum somehow ended up twerking for Drake in MGK’s dressing room! 

Sophie opens up about being bullied at school for being emo, and the creepy emails from a stalker that nearly led to a restraining order. She talks about finding her people in the alt scene, overcoming imposter syndrome while playing sold-out arenas, and performing on the Formula 1 stage and at the Women's Rugby World Cup Final (plus the famous rock icon that commented on her performance!) 

We also dive into what Yungblud is like in real life, the wildest things that have gone wrong mid-performance, and learn some proper guitar lingo for anyone wanting to shred like a pro. Sophie even brings in a surprise gift that might just be the best thing we’ve ever received on the show.

We’re annoyed… at everything. In this episode that’s slightly reminiscent of an angry early-years YouTuber JaackMaate, we’re unpacking the tiny, irrational things that absolutely shouldn’t bother us but somehow send us over the edge. From a current trend online that is quietly ruining wholesome content, to TikToks that make your toes curl, to true crime content creators, Stevie is arguing about the internet. 

Alfie is annoyed by a competitive hobby that is taken a little too seriously, the strange world of unsolicited expertise on social media, and the odd assumptions people make about him for no real reason. We also touch on recent guest backlash and how quickly things can spiral when opinions collide online. Jaack has strong thoughts on British behaviour abroad, an embarrassing Royal Family tradition, and makes a HUGE surprise confession about his Sunday League habits…

We sit down with TikTok sensation, rockstar and comedic enigma Rufus Rice and, even after spending time with him, we’re still not entirely sure if he’s playing a character or simply so posh that he confuses us…

Rufus gives insight into how rich he and his family really are. He shares stories from his early years in Singapore - from the secrets of a strict boarding school to what happened when he got drunk underage in a country where minor lawbreakers are punished with actual whippings.

Rufus addresses the Tory allegations, and we give him the ultimate Posh Test to decide where he sits on a scale from Max Fosh to the King of England. We also test his knowledge of common council estate things. Has he ever had a Lambrini? Does he know how to play Dog’s Arse? Would he ever set foot in a Euroshopper?

Plus, the time a game of Ding Dong Ditch REALLY backfired, his most controversial opinion involving charity, and whether we’re ever going to see him in a Sidemen charity match.

The Love Doctors are clocking in for another shift at Heartbreak Hospital. Jaack, Stevie and Alfie open the surgery doors to a truly unhinged stack of listener submitted love woes, ranging from “I got chased by a car after a date” to “my partner keeps cheating but I’m strangely chill about it?” Nothing is too messy, too awkward, or too legally concerning to avoid discussing.

We tackle petty revenge temptations, height insecurity, gooch-based abuse, workplace crushes, neighbours who’ve overstayed their casual welcome, drug-fuelled husbands, sneaky wanks, sibling crushes, and whether sleeping with your ex’s enemy is self-care or just being a menace.

As always, the advice is light-hearted, deeply unserious, and almost certainly not HR-approved. Viva la Love Doctors.

The sultry tones of Northern Irish comedian and podcaster Shane Todd grace the studio today as he shares stories from his chaotic life. Despite having no acting experience, he somehow landed himself the lead role in Ireland’s top kung-fu zombie film (it’s a niche genre) but tells us about how he nearly died on set. 

Speaking of disasters, we also hear about his drunk audition for Top Boy, and how he managed to misinterpret some simple instructions during an audition for Derry Girls. There’s garden centre trips with celebrities, scoring a worldie goal against a huge footballer, and being accidentally knocked out - twice. 

We feel like we need Shane’s dad on the podcast too after hearing about how he got scammed in Tenerife, why he enjoys strangers punching him, and and the time he gifted Shane a wholesome souvenir that turned out to actually be not very wholesome after all…
