JaackMaate’s Happy Hour

It’s been exactly 100 episodes since Jaack and Stevie did their last Q&A, so it’s time to carry on the annual tradition with another one! Welcome to 2024’s Ask-tonbury (working title) AKA Christmas Steve (also working title). The boys are answering burning Q’s such as which guests have turned down an invite for a second appearance, what’s the worst thing that has been cut or bleeped, and which eps were nearly binned off.  The boys reveal how they dealt with a guest who brought along a mega demanding PR team, and both share their opinion on the new studio now they’ve had the chance to properly settle in. They’re also posing a very important question to special guest Bambino Becky.  Check out the previous Jaack and Stevie specials - eps #096, #277, and #377! Learn more about your ad choices.

We’re exploring “glitches in the matrix” - peculiar events that seemingly can only be explained by the possibility that we’re living in a simulation… or drugs.  Cheating death, missing children, infinite water bottles, duplicate parents and phone calls from beyond the grave all feature in today’s episode.  Robbie shares his own glitches that made him question reality, and things get DEEP as we discuss the illusion of sight and sound, and whether other people even exist?!  Should Mack Bean have gone to the police with the murder evidence he stumbled across, or was he simply a witness to a real life glitch in the matrix?  Learn more about your ad choices.

For years, Simon Wilson’s followers have questioned what TRULY happened on that infamous trip to Afghanistan. Why did Simon have to flee the country just an hour after landing in Kabul? What did Simon REALLY mean when he wrote “would love to make a video about what happened but for the safety of those I met, I think it's best not to”? Well today, Simon reveals the Afghanistan secrets exclusively on the Happy Hour podcast. It may have been three-and-a-half years since travel ‘tuber Simon Wilson last dropped by the Happy Hour studio, but his chemistry with Jaack & Stevie makes it seem like he’s never been away at all. Simon gives us arguably one of the greatest Happy Hour episodes of modern times as he comes equipped with plenty of stories from his global travels. He shares his top 5 tips for top tier travelling. Forget what your Mum taught you - Simon insists you should talk to strangers for the ultimate travel experience. You’ll have to listen to the episode to find out the other 4 travel hacks! Which country has the nicest people? The craziest traffic? The cheapest living? The tastiest food? The most scenic views? Simon is without a doubt one of the most qualified people on planet Earth to answer such questions. Was Simon really banned from the US? Yep, and the reason why is bizarre. Is it actually possible to get free flight upgrades? Yep, and the reason how is bizarre. Could this be one of the greatest episodes of Happy Hour ever? Yep, and the reason why is obvious - Mr Wilson and his long list of travel tales! Check out ep #143 for Simon’s first appearance on Happy Hour! Learn more about your ad choices.
