JaackMaate’s Happy Hour

We asked AI to give us “an original funny concept for JaackMaate’s Happy Hour” episode idea… and they were all SHIT. So we’re doing another episode of Alfie’s Amazing Indraviduals instead!  Alfie has researched more of the world’s most amazing people that have different unusual skills and quirks, and Jaack and Stevie have to choose who is worthy enough to take a coveted spot in Alfie’s ‘Amazing Indraviduals’ book!  There’s a time traveller from the year 5000 that has photographic proof, a man who was left with an incredible superpower after a violent street attack, and a woman with a unique skill for detecting water underground.  Plus a human cyborg, a super sensitive nose, and a man who didn’t eat for a year. Oh, and a really big poo.  If you enjoyed this, check out episode #411 for the first instalment of Alfie’s Amazing Indraviduals (where we discuss the infamous Double Dick Dude!)

Jaack & super sub host Alfie are this week joined by a man who is as giant in size as he is in personality. 7 time Mr Olympia Phil Heath squeezes his way into the Happy Hour studio to discuss his illustrious career as one of the world’s greatest ever bodybuilders. Phil discusses how Hollywood superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger was his inspiration behind entering the world of competitive bodybuilding and Heath’s 7 Mr Olympia wins puts him equal with Arnie himself!  Phil opens up about his rough start to life witnessing a point-blank shooting at his high school dance shortly before a sudden injury put a stop to his promising basketball career. But when faced with that infamous fork in the road, Phil chose a path that would change his life (and body) forever. What’s the easiest thing you can do to quickly gain a six pack? Does a bodybuilder ever eat McDonald’s? Can fellow hench gym goer Alfie Indra beat Phil in a ferocious arm wrestle? Answers to all of these burning questions are answered in today’s Happy Hour!  So, neck that protein shake, gulp down that chicken breast, put down those 200kg dumbbells and strap in for a guest who’s guaranteed to make you want to do at least one press up.

The FourSkins are back together once again for yet another absolutely absurd All Caught Up. Stevie’s made a famous “friend” in the gym… kind of. The boys discuss if Stevie’s new gym “friend” can be classed as a friend at all, as Stevie’s yet to pluck up the courage to even say hello. Robbie’s back from his 48th ski trip of the year, and he’s come equipped with tales of a mini holiday fling with arguably the hottest ski instructor the world has ever seen. Will this holiday romance stay platonic? Or will it be causing an avalanche for Robbie’s marriage? Jaack’s been to see hypnotist Robert Temple live, so isn’t quite sure if he’s the same Jaack the podcast has known for the past 5 years. Also, Stevie’s ventured into the deep dark depths of TikTok and educates the boys on the latest conspiracy regarding Kate Middleton. Has she disappeared? Is there more than meets the eye? What’s with that dodgy photoshop job? Stevie turns sleuth! Alfie’s here too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
