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

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

In today’s incredibly honest and refreshingly light-hearted interview with The King of Chemo, we delve into the life of the very funny irishman Iain Ward who shares his unexpected journey into the world of terminal cancer after a somewhat random and accidental diagnosis under pretty rare circumstances. From the initial diagnosis, to being kept awake during actual brain surgery, Iain has shown nothing but unrelenting grit to not only personally make the most of what time he has left - but to help inspire millions of others along the way too as he discusses his phenomenal fitness feats with Jaack & Stevie. Terminal cancer might have dramatically cut Iain’s life expectancy down, but it won’t stop him as he aims to break the world record for most money raised through running marathons. Today’s podcast is not all about Iain’s medical ordeal but also about the psychological journey, his fears, aspirations, priorities, uncertainty, and ultimately, his incredibly profound outlook on life. Iain's response to his diagnosis has been nothing short of inspirational. Instead of succumbing to despair, he channeled his energy into helping others, helping aid charities that support cancer research and provide comfort to those also battling the disease. Iain also chats with Jaack about Jaack’s health anxiety. It’s no secret that Iain’s diagnosis would be Jaack’s worst nightmare - a lifelong fear of his. So we ask Iain, is it silly, or perhaps even offensive, for Jaack to worry about something that is not directly effecting him? What is Iain’s opinion on health anxiety? Does Iain want a girlfriend? To get married? To have kids? Has his relationship with material things changed? Does he value money more or less? Has he planned his funeral? The boys ask questions they’d usually be too scared to ask somebody with terminal cancer, but Iain’s openness, warmth and jovial outlook lends itself to a raw honesty that made for an incredibly open interview. We hope that this episode is not only a testament to Iain Ward's personal journey but also serves as a beacon of hope and action for listeners who are experiencing similar struggles. Through his story, we learn about the unpredictability of life, the importance of giving back, and the unexpected curveballs that life can throw at us. Iain’s online alias may be The King Of Chemo, but all of us at Happy Hour think he might actually just be The King. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

447 - ARGUMENTAL III - Whose Side Are YOU On?!

447 - ARGUMENTAL III - Whose Side Are YOU On?!

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...

446 - THE TRAITORS - Paul & Ross Spill Secrets Of The Castle!

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!

445 - Alfie’s Stolen Phone Saga, & Robbie’s Arse Doctor Antics!

445 - Alfie’s Stolen Phone Saga, & Robbie’s Arse Doctor Antics!

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

444 - STUNTPEGG - Joey Barton Opinion, Ugliest Stadiums, & The ULTIMATE Football Quiz!

444 - STUNTPEGG - Joey Barton Opinion, Ugliest Stadiums, & The ULTIMATE Football Quiz!

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.

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! Robbie is denying the moon landing, Stevie is forcing everyone to become vegetarian, Alfie thinks money can buy you happiness, and Jaack reckons the Earth is flat. PLUS 2 weeks ago, Alfie got his phone snatched right after leaving the Happy Hour studio and, during this episode, he gets a message from the person who has his phone...
