JaackMaate’s Happy Hour Spotify Podcasts

Comedian, presenter, and now affectionately known as “Will Second Best” - Matt Richardson brings laughs aplenty to the Happy Hour studio!

Matt shares stories from his time hosting Xtra Factor and has a RAUNCHY Sharon Osbourne story to tell! Speaking of raunchy, there’s also fairy porn chat, and a previous X Factor contestant who flashed him on a bus! Plus the time Kate Moss held him hostage and forced him to party. 

It’s not all glitz and glamour however, as Matt shares why he was kicked off a photoshoot with his girlfriend, and gives us an entire run down of how he likes to spend his spare time role playing as a pilot…

From the glorious Tunisian sunshine, to the snowy picturesque Austrian mountains, Jack, Stevie & Robbie have been jetsetting around the globe! Alfie has also had a stroll around Stowmarket. 

Jack and Stevie catch the guys up with everything that happened out in Africa. Witnessing Russ Cook AKA Hardest Geezer make history as he crossed the finish line in Tunisia, having police intervene a pretty dodgy moment with some interesting taxi drivers, and Stevie coming face-to-face with his arch nemesis Stevie Black... the boys come equipped with some incredible stories. 

Robbie has finally managed to convince Jack and Fi to go skiing as the trio popped over to Mayrhofen in Austria to master the snowy slopes of Snowbombing festival. Turns out, Jack and Fi may well be the next Torvill & Dean… except if Torvill & Dean swapped their ice skates for skis… and if Torvill & Dean were really bad at skiing.

Gracing the yellow studio today is the first comedian that Stevie ever saw live, and a longtime comedy hero for Jaack - it's Josh Widdicombe! Before becoming a hugely successful comic, Josh had some very unconventional jobs, including shilling fake designer gear on a German market, and writing for a magazine from the perspective of a 7 year old girl...

Josh shares his genius pre-drink tactics from university, and his addiction that he participates in 8 times a day. Josh also shares the worst gigs he's ever done - from performing in front of a crowd of just TWO people, to gigging at a farming college that involved a tradition of downing a pint of piss...

We play a game of 'fill in the blank' featuring headlines from when Josh has made the news, learn about his tactic for getting more screen time when featuring on panel shows, and enjoy making Stevie VERY uncomfortable by bringing up with he did to Jon Richardson...

Plus Josh's hatred for a certain genre of film, whether the perfect joke exists, and his favourite memory of Sean Lock.

Jaack, Stevie, Robbie & Alfie have dusted off their big box of creepy confessions (which isn't actually a box, and more so an anonymous Reddit submission form), ready to decide if thou are forgiven or not.

The FourSkins dissected a number of your deepest, darkest confessions during both main shows & the Round Sheep Tour in 2023, and after a year hiatus, it's time to once again see what you freaks have been up to! From squatting inside the house of a woman with dementia, to shaking up poo into a packet of Golden Nugget cereal - no, this isn't Stevie's diary (for once) but more so the headlines of your bizarre confessions.

A drug addict Mum has been hurt by her dealer, but is it actually her child that's to blame? Is it okay to wish you had a terminal illness? What is a 'Pos guy'? This episode admittedly probably asks more questions than it answers, but you can't cancel us... because these are YOUR* confessions.
*Reddit's

Also, if you want to meet us in person and confess your deepest darkest sins, the FourSkins will be live touring the UK again with a bigger and better show than last year - tickets available at www.happyhourlive.co.uk

Russ Cook, aka Hardest Geezer, last joined the Happy Hour boys in December of 2021, in which he revealed his dreams of running the entire length of Africa. Just a madman with a dream, right? Wrong.

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.

From all of us at Happy Hour, we’d like to say the biggest congratulations to Russ and his team for grabbing the history books, tearing them up, and creating their own book. A book that will literally never, ever be matched. We’re absolutely besotted by Russ as a human, and an athlete, and we’ll forever be honoured to have been there to witness the moment this man achieved the impossible.

Not only was this one insane act of endurance and self-belief, but it was an act of selflessness as 'ProjectAfrica' was all for charity. Please consider checking out, and donating if you can, to Russ’ chosen charities below! (The Running Charity, helping deliver mental health support to young people suffering with homelessness and complex needs, and Sandblast devoted to raising awareness of the Saharawi people of Western Sahara).

We’re taking inspo from LadBible’s ‘Honesty Box’, which some of our previous Happy Hour guests have featured on, and putting our own spin on it - FourSkins style! 

What’s the funniest thing you’ve EVER seen? Have you ever been genuinely offended? What’s the worst hangover you’ve ever had? What’s the most scared you’ve ever been?

Jaack is getting rinsed for his answer to his biggest regret, Alfie tells us about the drastic change he made to his appearance after one hate comment, Stevie somehow manages to make drinking booze in Ibiza really uncool, and Robbie reveals a near death experience that he’s never shared before!

There’s also far too much talk of sexually active grandparents…
