514 - THE KING OF CHEMO - 1 Year Left To Live After Accidental Brain Cancer Diagnosis

We’ve each got a category that we’re bringing to the virgin table and the other FourSkin members have to blind rank them - put them in a 1-10 list without knowing what the next choice will be - BUT we all have to agree on the answer, and of course this doesn’t go too smoothly…  Robbie brought a choice of top 10 animals, Jack is picking the worst people to ever exist, Stevie’s selecting the best songs of all time, and Alfie is whittling down the worst ways to die.  Plus we call Jaack’s grandad LIVE on the pod to ask him a very pressing question about his arse. Robbie wants to have sex with an infamous media personality. Oh and Alfie has been mugged again but this time Jack witnessed the entire thing!  Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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.

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). 2024's Happy Hourween (in the humble opinions of the entire HH team) is by far the greatest Hourween yet. We hope you agree!

We’re taking a pinch of Ladbible, a sprinkle of Reddit submissions, and adding in a healthy dollop of opinions that may get us cancelled… to give us the truly novel concept that has never ever been seen before - ‘AGREE OR DISAGREE’. Jaack, Stevie and Alfie are debating topics - some of which have the potential to get them cancelled, and a few that lead to a scrap between the boys... Learn more about your ad choices.

Two geezers... two of the UK’s biggest charvas... two blokes that nobody wants to mess with (although they have a heart of gold)... are today joined by Big John & Johnny Fisher! Johnny’s incredible boxing record speaks for itself but in today’s pod, the boys quickly find out that Johnny isn’t just brawn - but a whole load of brains too, as the Romford Bull gives Jaack & Stevie a lesson in history. It’s not just history discussed today with the Fishers as the foursome chat about Johnny’s plans for the future and his hopes of one day landing the British heavyweight belt. (And not the kind of heavyweight belt in Big John’s wardrobe!)  This fast-paced hour absolutely zooms by as Jaack, Stevie, Johnny & Big John discuss everything from selling tonnes of cheese in lockdown, to sparring with the Furys, to viral stardom. From chicken balls, to Essex “beanos”, this episode covers so much in such a short space of time, we guarantee your commute will be fly by with these four in your ears! Oh, and the lads also blind rank their ultimate Chinese takeaway… with surprising results. In episode #373 of Happy Hour, the crafty cockney Tom Skinner claims he started the “bosh” catchphrase within the Essex circle. So today… once and for all… we get to finally put the question to Big John. Did you steal Bosh?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
