004 - HOW POPULAR YOUTUBERS SCAM THEIR FANS

Punk rock duo Isaac and Laurie from Soft Play (formerly known as Slaves) went from gigging to a crowd of just 7 people, to headlining festivals, to taking a career hiatus. They’re on Happy Hour to chat through their career to date, the reason for their name change, and their upcoming album!  They share why they were escorted out of Foo Fighters' backstage area by armed security, the celebrity they got to crowd surf at their gig, and why they’re calling out Ed Sheeran.  Punk rock gigs inevitably come with wild injuries, one involving a pair of underpants, and another caused by a huge 90’s pop band. The lads reveal the 6 words Isaac said, that caused Laurie to refuse to speak to him during their tour, and we put their friendship to the test with a game of Mr and Mr!  Laurie explains his nickname that has stuck since school, and his tattoo that he didn’t realise had a raunchy double meaning! And YES we couldn’t let them go without explaining Jaack’s fondness for shagging soft plays, to Soft Play themselves…  Visit www.softplayband.com for tour tickets, and to pre-order Soft Play’s new album ‘Heavy Jelly’ (out 19th July)!  Grab your last minute tickets to Truck Festival for Soft Play, and Jaack and Stevie’s silent disco! https://truckfestival.com/tickets/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Alfie has had an unfortunate shaving incident and we are NOT letting him get away without ripping the absolute shit out of it. But was it his fault, or his barber’s? Aside from hiding his bald face, Alfie has also been hiding something else - an illegal onion. We grill him as we peel away the layers of this bizarre confession.  Jaack and Stevie played in a charity match for the brilliant ‘Andy’s Man Club’ with Angry Ginge, Danny Aarons, and plenty more famous faces, but Stevie is yet again being a Karen over his time (or lack of) on the pitch!  The boys also partook in a game of Real Life Rocket League! Using banger cars to push a giant inflatable football round a race track sounds like harmless fun, right? Well it was… until the football caught FIRE! Learn more about your ad choices.

Just when you thought we’d left urban legends in a dusty corner of the Happy Hour episode locker… they’re BACK and this time Stevie is treating us (or torturing us) with urban legends from Great Britain! If only the stories were as great as the location… We’re delving into the stories of Spring-heeled Jack, The Phantom Ferryman of Pier 13, The Devil’s Footprints, and The Ghost Of Bluebell Hill. There’s a twist, as Stevie reveals that one of the stories in this episode was AI generated - can you guess which one? Plus, we heard your cries, we read your comments, and we have FINALLY given you the infamous Sin Pig story! So without further ado, sit back and enjoy Little Boy’s Brexit Legends (this will make sense if you listen to this episode…) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jaack is hungover so Stevie planned an entire surprise episode for us... so we did the right thing by binning that off and having an All Caught Up instead. Mega Robbie is giving us a mega arse update and reveals he finally has an arse diagnosis! Tune in to find out what's been happening with his flawless anus (how the f do we still have a Spotify contract...) Stevie “Karen” White is back in full force, and this time he's taking out his midlife crisis anger on a young van driver, and a milk delivery company. Jaack also went Karen mode in a restaurant over a robot waitress, and had an argument with his elderly doctor. Jaack gives us far too much info about his first experience trying Viagra, and what happened when he got caught smuggling his boner pills into Paris. Speaking of drugs, we're also debating whether we should invite a heroin addict on the pod? There's also a Gary Barlow ticket scam, Barcelona with Bambino Becky, and why Jaack wasn't allowed into the stadium at the FA Cup final... Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Hour is BACK! And in this Euro special, the boys are joined by football content kings James Allcott and Ellis Platten! The boys discuss the best goal they've ever seen live, all the way through to the second greatest sport. Is it tennis? Is it darts? It's definitely not rugby. Ellis and James, along with football idiots Jaack and Stevie, predict every match from England's group games, including a surprise result against Denmark. James explains why he thinks Ronaldo will be having the tournament of his life, and Ellis tries to justify why football is truly coming home. The boys also go head-to-head in a Euro themed quiz written by quiz-master himself JaackMaate. Which nation has made the most finals? Alongside Harry Kane, which England player has the most Euro caps? Who scored the most goals? It's all to play for in this tense Happy Hour Euros quiz! Learn more about your ad choices.
