It’s been 3 and a half years since Tom and Ben from true crime podcast “I Could Murder A Podcast” graced the Happy Hour studio and we’ve finally got them back on to kickstart our 2025 spooky season!  They bring to the table a rundown of the chilling case of Virginia McCullough - a woman who murdered both of her parents and then hid their bodies in her house for FOUR years. We delve into the motive behind the killings and how Virginia successfully duped friends and family (including her four siblings) into believing her parents were still alive.  Happy Hour goes head to head with I Could Murder A Podcast as we test how well each duo knows each other in a game of Mr & Mr! Tom also has a bone to pick with something Jaack said about him on a previous episode, and he really wants to set the record straight… We finish the episode by tiptoeing through a torture timeline where the ICMAP boys tell us all about the 5 worst medieval torture methods. How can honey and milk kill someone? Which of your holes would a Judas cradle feel the worst in? What on earth is a pear of anguish? youtube.com/icouldmurderapodcast instagram.com/couldmurderapod Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Alfie’s obsession with the original version of Four In A Bed is no secret, so when Happy Hour listener “foobiomon” suggested we do our own Dream version, we knew we had no choice! In part 1 (#597) we explored Alfie and Jaack's guest houses.  We kick off part 2 with Stevie's haunted hotel where guests are not guaranteed to make it out alive... There are unexpected intruders in each room, but Robbie doesn't feel as if he's drawn the short straw. There's a spot of illegal activity too with a worrying lack of human rights for the staff and a suspicious meat served with breakfast.  We finish off this series with Robbie's B&B, which has just had it’s grand opening and has already caused quite the buzz! How far can one man stretch his creative limits when dedicating an entire hotel to one very specific theme? The sleeping arrangements in this B&B have a rather, er, communal feel, and the very thing soothing you to sleep may turn out to be the source of your nightmares!  And finally, after each of the boys has taken their turn to host in their hypothetical hotel, we can finally crown a WINNER.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We sit down with one of Jaack’s all-time favourite stand-ups, Matt Bragg, to learn how he went from camera man to comedian. Before hitting the comedy circuit, Matt spent years behind the camera and working on superyachts. He reveals what he did to get kicked out of a billionaire’s boat party, and the abysmal gift Alan Sugar gave Matt after he worked on his yacht.  Matt shares the worst gig stories imaginable, including one that involves multiple bodily fluids, and another that features a surprise intruder in the middle of his set. Matt also reveals what it’s like to support Ricky Gervais on tour, and shares his hot takes on Holocaust museums and Christmas adverts during a game of “Fill in the Blank" using his own old tweets.  Plus, Matt reacts to Jack’s cursed toe, reveals why John Bishop might secretly hate him, and drops a life-changing fact about sausages… ‘Matt Bragg Live’ out on October 16th. @mattbraggcomedy on IG and Twitter.

Jaack, Stevie, Robbie and Alfie have called it a day on podcasting (let’s be honest, it wasn’t really working out anyway) and instead ventured into the Wild West of the hospitality industry… hotels to be specific!  In a concept that has never been done before (except every week on Channel 4 for the past 15 years) the Happy Hour boys each spend a night in each other’s hypothetical hotels before paying what they believe is the true value of a night’s stay in said hotel. The host with the highest profit at the end will be officially crowned Happy Hour’s hottest hotelier!  Alfie’s obsession with the original version of Four In A Bed is no secret, so when Happy Hour listener “foobiomon” suggested we do our own Dream version, we knew we had no choice! This week is part one (with part two next Monday) and what better way to start than with Indra’s Comfort Hotel? A hotel designed inch-by-inch… or mattress-by-mattress with comfort at the heart of every decision. Is it possible to be too comfy?  Alfie’s house of comfort isn’t all that’s explored today as we also venture into Jaack’s hotel. Over the past seven years alongside the podcast, and unbeknownst to anybody, Jaack has been running a side hustle. The Happy Hour hotel. With every single guest that’s ever appeared on the podcast working at the hotel (yep… even him) this is the literal definition of a guest-house. Would you like a podcast studio tour when you check-in the hotel? Doesn’t matter! Regardless of your preference… you’re getting one! Every time.  Next week we will pop into Stevie and Robbie’s hotels and a winner will be crowned. But for now, it’s Jaack & Alfie’s turn, which in our humble opinion… could well be a new Happy Hour instant classic! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Football content creator Tom Garratt joins the pod this week for a rollercoaster episode covering everything from his humble beginnings growing up in Dudley, to his short-lived football career, to his current role on Pitch Side. Tom opens up about how he’s handled the fallout from THAT infamous leaked video, how he deals with constant online hate, and the most savage comment he's ever received.  Tom reveals whether a move into Misfits Boxing could be on the cards, blind ranks both great and terrible hair transplants from celebrities (and Theo Baker), and plays a painfully cringe game of "Fill In The Blank” with his old tweets. We also give Tom a “Golden Sports Pass” that lets him witness one iconic sporting moment from the past, one from this year, and one from the future - his picks are surprising. He also weighs in on who the greatest champion in sports history is, the top five footballers of all time, the most overrated player ever, and whether England will finally bring it home at the World Cup next year.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Robbie is back in the studio fresh off the back of a family trip to Canada… which did not go to plan in more ways than one. He details everything that went wrong, from missed flights to illnesses to disappointing tourist attractions. Plus a story involving a strange man on the bus, and windscreen washer fluid…  Stevie has been doing questionable things with pet dogs, and nearly killed his nan on a trip to Pleasurewood Hills. We maaaay have also found a song to rival “I’m going to rip your fucking arms off”!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
