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

After waking up in a Columbian hospital following a mysterious accident, battling life threatening injuries and an imminent leg amputation, Luke Tarrant had a million questions. Is this a real hospital? Could social media save his leg? What actually happened? But the answers would have to wait as things took a turn for the worse with sepsis beginning to set in… Despite the unlucky chain of events, the incredibly optimistic Luke still refers to himself as ‘lucky’. Luke’s sheer determination and beautiful outlook on life is not only inspirational, but humorous and self deprecating. Jaack and Stevie ask Luke questions they would normally be too scared to ask a recent amputee. What does phantom pain feel like? What are the benefits of having one leg? Where did your amputated limb end up? Luke doesn’t shy away from a single question.  Happy Hour Life Stories are back.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Inspired by a controversial magazine article from the 90s, Jaack has created a new series which he has creatively called “Overrated Or Underrated”. The boys have to debate whether a number of random things are considered - you guessed it - overrated or underrated. From mullets to McDonalds, from steak to sex, from the Eiffel Tower to eggs. No musician, city or food is safe from debate. Are they truly overrated or unfairly underrated? Plus Stevie’s been stabbed in the head, Robbie has beef with someone throwing shade on his Barcelona marathon efforts, and Jaack is considering some major cosmetic surgery…  Learn more about your ad choices.

Visit Niagara Falls? Check. Try some poutine? Check. Ruin several people’s lives? Triple check. Jaack’s recent trip to Toronto wasn’t quite the smooth sailing Canadian adventure he’d envisioned…  From nearly getting a waitress fired, to uncovering a secret drug habit, to almost killing an entire plane full of people, Jaack never fails to get himself in sticky situations.  He dodged death while exploring the wilderness, took a medieval jousting tournament way too seriously, and majorly embarrassed himself at a poker game.  He also unintentionally joined a cartel while searching for a corner shop. I WISH that was a joke…  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

During our brief break from posting, every part of Stevie’s body has fallen apart. From his bleeding hands, to his overactive breast tissue, to a mysterious rash that got him genuinely interrogated by his doctor. We have a pressing question about pissing on pubic hairs in public toilets. Speaking of, Jaack admits what he does in public loos in the hopes that his cubicle neighbours will hear it. Alfie shares how his sold out gig went, and interrogates Stevie on why he didn't show up. Is it okay to go to Disneyland alone? Stevie shares his incredibly bleak trip to the happiest place on Earth, and we debate the ethics of solo theme park visits. Jaack got into trouble by kicking a disabled woman out of her mobility scooter (yep, you read that right), and Alfie takes a huge leap of faith out of his comfort zone (see what we did there?) by auditioning for an acting role… but why did he strip off in front of the casting directors?

For some strange reason, there are people around the world who consider Jaack, Stevie, and Robbie to be beacons of morality. Other people—the ones with actual brain cells—realise that this is stupid. This episode is catered towards the first group of people. We’ve found some hypothetical moral dilemmas, and the boys are debating what they would do in those scenarios! How rich would you be if the only way to earn money was by carrying out acts of kindness? Which member of the Happy Hour team would you sacrifice overboard to save yourself from a sinking boat? What would you do if you realised you were living in a simulation and had the power to shut it down? Which 100 humans would you choose to send to live on another planet if Earth becomes uninhabitable? How much would you sell a year of your life for? Organ transplants, seeing the future, death drugs, human sacrifices, and granting immortality also feature in this episode!

In this episode, we’re joined by Arthur Hill – musician, TikTok star, and master of mustaches. We cover how band Queen played a part in Arthur realising he had a singing career ahead of him, and how he went from randomly bumping into James Blunt in a pub, to waking up in bed next to him! Speaking of celebs, there’s an insanely awkward Tom Grennan interaction… No stranger to being in front of a crowd, we cover Arthur’s love of stand up and performing music, which was kickstarted in the most bizarre way. He shares how he’s learnt the hard way about the disasters that can happen on stage!  We of course chat about Arthur’s rise to TikTok fame, which started when a controversial dinner table video went viral. Plus, the one item he splashed £400 on and the New Year’s resolution he broke after just 5 days.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

ROBBIE’S BACK! He didn’t die, he just went on lots of holidays. But he’s back in the studio and ready to tell us all about his jet setting adventures.  He had a very expensive hospital trip in New York, has been hanging out with multiple sexy French men, and tried out a new sport that genuinely put his life in danger.  Robbie explains why he stripped down into his underwear in front of a woman he met 10 minutes prior, and why his boozy trip to Belgium with BambinoBecky was a monumental fail. It’s not all Robbie Knox though, as we find out why Stevie is a certified bad boy now, and how Jaack’s 10 year anniversary date ended in disaster…  Sit back in a hammock for your bum and enjoy this 90 minute long All Caught Up.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In a Happy Hour FIRST, we have a Sir gracing the studio in Olympic athlete Mo Farah! From being unable to speak English and in the bottom sets in school, to winning four Olympic gold medals and smashing world records, Mo is one beast of a human being.  You’ll hear about his first Olympic win, the thrill of winning the double in back-to-back Olympics, and the rollercoaster of emotions behind his iconic victories.  We chat through his intense training routine, his hatred for socks and the reason he never counts calories. Plus marathon training secrets, motivation tricks and how he’s “hacked” his treadmill.  Mo reacts to Jaack’s running statistics, and also officially settles the infamous Happy Hour debate of whether it counts as a marathon if it is run on a treadmill…  There’s also Soccer Aid chat, his rivalry with Usain Bolt and being knighted by the Queen!
