522 - SIMON BRODKIN - Embarrassing Donald Trump, Gatecrashing Kanye’s Glasto Set, & Pranking FIFA President Sepp Blatter!

In today’s main show Monday, the FourSkins sit down to ponder over life’s toughest moral dilemmas. From running a restaurant with dishes made from human flesh, to sacrificing one large man for 10 smaller people… in a cave… using… dynamite? The boys get their teeth stuck into some truly tricky tests.  What’s the morally right thing to do if you've been bitten by a zombie? What’s the fairest way to poison somebody? We answer questions the rest of the world are too downright scared to!  Also, we have some big news. Like, really big news. Like big fat massive news. You’re not going to want to miss this.

Consultant forensic psychiatrist Dr Sohom Das spends his days in prisons, psych hospitals and courts assessing and rehabilitating mentally ill criminals - and working out who is faking it to get a reduced sentence. He gives us fascinating insight into the crossover between crime and sanity. Dr Das explores how mental illness is portrayed in movies, including Split, Joker, Shutter Island, and The Talented Mr. Ripley. He also gives his expert analysis on famous cases such as Lucy Letby, Gypsy Rose Blanchard, Anders Breivik, and Fred and Rose West.  After 12 years working in the field, Dr Sohom Das has seen his fair share of shocking cases and strange delusions - a man who pulled out his own eyeballs during a psychotic episode, and a Texas mother who drowned her 5 children due to delusions. In this 2 hour interview, we cover everything from lobotomies and electroshock therapy, to religious delusions and psychopathic CEO’s. Dr Das shares how to spot the signs that someone is faking a mental illness, the widely known disorder that actually does not exist, and just how accurate online psychopath tests really are!  Check out Dr Das' YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/@APsychForSoreMinds Learn more about your ad choices.

In today’s main show Monday, Stevie, Robbie and Alfie listen eagerly to Jaack’s big All Caught Up. How did Jaack REALLY break his finger? Why did Jaack get in a full blown argument with a stranger on the way to the hospital? Will his hand ever recover? (Yes, it’s literally a broken finger). Not only that, Jaack needs to confess a very awkward moment involving Danny D’s impressive appendage at a McDonald’s drive-thru. But aside from Jaack’s latest shenanigans, he's found time to plan possibly the WORST episode ever of Happy Hour... The boys (mainly Jaack) are securing their place at the top of the “who should the internet cancel next” list as Jaack shares his collection of ‘Darwin Awards’ - people who have eliminated themselves from the gene pool via some of the silliest, dumbest and goofiest deaths the world has ever seen. Hilarious? Potentially. Believable? Potentially. Insensitive? Definitely. From crush fetishes to nut allergies, Segway mishaps to water bottle tumbles, the boys share some of the strangest deaths to ever ‘actually’ happen (according to the Darwin Awards website)!

In a truly jaw dropping, soon-to-be Happy Hour classic, former mob boss and caporegime in the Colombo crime family Michael Franzese lays his soul bare. All the way from Brooklyn, New York, Michael pops by the Happy Hour studio to talk all things mafia. From horses heads left in beds, to ratting out rats, the Prince of The Mafia reveals just how he managed to quit the mob in 1985 and still live to tell the tale.  Very few mobsters successfully manage to leave the mob life behind unscathed but Franzese did, and over the next 90 minutes we’ll get to ask him all the questions you’ve ever wanted to ask a real life mafioso. From literally being name-dropped in arguably the greatest gangster movie of all time ‘Goodfellas’ (Martin Scorsese), to ending up in solitary confinement , Michael has lived through enough to fill 100 lives.  This is one you’re going to want to tell your friends about. So sit back, pour yourself a glass of scotch (or equally cool non-alcoholic beverage if under the age of 18) and enjoy what is destined to be one of Happy Hour’s greatest guest interviews to date.

Argumental, the Happy Hour Mass Debate… whatever you want to call it, we're going to argue about it! We're taking inspiration again from panel show 'Argumental' and debating silly questions, but we've each been allocated a side to fight for, that doesn't necessarily align with our own values! Jaack thinks that footballers don't get paid enough, Alfie is denying the existence of ghosts, Robbie is fighting for the death penalty, and Stevie is getting confused over whether darts is a sport. PLUS after telling us about how he's been wrecking rage rooms and bullying builders, Stevie takes the ultimate Beta Cuck title when he's forced to do a complete 180 on his previous controversial film critic comments...

Is Jaack a traitor? Is Jaack a faithful? Neither… Jaack’s just absolutely giddy to be interviewing two contestants from his current favourite TV show - 'The Traitors!' Jaack & Stevie sit down with everybody’s favourite traitor Paul Gorton as he spills the beans on what it’s like to point blank lie to his fellow contestant's face in the famous castle.  The lads are also joined by faithful Ross Carson to ask all those important questions you guys want to hear! (Okay, mainly just fanboying over his Mum Diane).  If you haven’t seen series 2 of The Traitors yet (and ARE planning on watching it) then watch it BEFORE you listen to this episode! Because this is your formal warning… spoilers ahead!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In last Monday’s main show (#443), Alfie recounted how his phone got snatched from his hands right after leaving the podcast studio, and he left the story on a cliffhanger… well we may or may not have an update to the saga! After a year-long battle with a stinging butthole, Robbie has finally been seen by an arse doctor and has some great arse-related updates for us all, which includes sharing all the people and things that have recently explored his anal cavity. We did NOT expect his arse-capades to have us in absolute stitches! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

StuntPegg - Nieve Petruzziello - has for the longest time been one of Jaack's (and Robbie's!) favourite football content creators... so it was about time she made her Happy Hour debut and of course she did not disappoint!  In this nearly 2 hour episode, the trio discuss the ups and downs of being raised in Rochdale (a place regularly topping the charts of the worst UK towns). From having her prized possession stolen by a child, to appearing on the Graham Norton show, Nieve's upbringing was far from normal.  Nieve also speaks openly about her mental health journey, her dispute with fellow Bolton football vlogger Thogden, as well as adding her very valuable opinion on the controversial character that is Joey Barton.  The boys also test Nieve’s mettle as they put her through a gruelling football challenge by giving her random football teams from the 92 professional clubs in England. Can Nieve tell us where each team is positioned and in what league? More so, can she whip out a random fact about each club? From Man City to Morecambe, Liverpool to Luton, Tottenham to Torquay… just how much does StuntPegg REALLY know about the beautiful game?  Learn more about your ad choices.
