489 - Alfie’s Prickly Situation, Jaack’s Heartbreak, & Robbie Gets High! (All Caught Up)

World Champion darts player Luke Humphries joins us in the studio less than 24 hours after kicking off Day 1 of the PDC World Championships at Ally Pally! Luke opens up about his unexpected rise in darts that started as a teenager, led to him giving up the sport as a young adult, to then go on to beat Luke Littler in last year’s Worlds. Luke opens up about his anxiety, including handling major anxiety attacks on stage, and the time an ambulance had to be called. We play a game of “who’s the most…” where he shares his brutally honest opinion of his fellow darts pros. The behind-the-scenes of a darts champion's pre- and post-match routines leaves Alfie with more questions than answers. Plus we come up with a brand new celebration that Luke promises to do if (when) he wins!  Luke shares how much money he’s earnt and his future plans for his fortune, secrets we don’t know about the official trophy, and the one small change he made that took his skill to the next level. We dive deep into his life off the oche too, including his weight loss transformation (dropping 4 stone in just 6 months), his unlikely celebrity mates, and how his job before becoming a pro darts player left his physically scarred.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In today’s Main Show Monday, Jaack, Stevie, Robbie and Alfie work together to officially crown the best Christmas movie, song, and food of all time. No other podcast’s opinion matters, no food critique or movie reviewer can delve quite as deep into these festive debates as we’re about to…  Fiona is letting me (Jaack) write this episode description for the first time in years. She told me I need to creatively tease the episode well enough so that you guys just HAVE to listen, so here goes: Elf? Home Alone? The Grinch? Zoella’s Advent Calendar Brutal Honest Review? Which film truly belongs at the top of the Christmas tree, and which is truly just a sack of coal dumped in the outhouse? (I don’t know what an outhouse is. Just sounded cool in my head) WHAM! A great Christmas song or just a word used at the start of this paragraph to capture your attention? Who knows. Maybe you find out in this episode? Maybe you don’t. Maybe this episode is LITERALLY just the Fourskins blind ranking Christmas movies, films and food.  How else can I explain this? How else can I possibly sell this episode to you? It’s Christmas, you have nothing better to do, and you damn well know that deep down you love this shit.  Oh - before I go, and sign off the best episode description of all time, I will say this… wait for Robbie getting exposed over his love for a certain female pop star.

In today’s Happy Hour (and a half) the boys are joined by funny man Simon Brodkin (who you may also know as his working class comedy character Lee Nelson!) 10 years ago almost to the day, Simon was one of the first people Jaack ever interviewed, so it felt apt to bring him back for a full circle moment to remember! Simon’s only tattoo might say “no regrets” but Jaack certainly has one after a highly embarrassing quickfire question…  What is it like to gatecrash American president Donald Trump on a golf course? HOW did Simon not get shot for his antics? Marginally, is the answer. Simon reveals everything that happened both before and after he pranked Trump.  Simon explains just how he managed to join Kanye West on stage, unannounced, during his headline Glastonbury set causing Kanye to stop the entire show! Theresa May, the Man City team, Volkswagen and the president of FIFA Sepp Blatter have all also been on the receiving end of Brodkin’s stunts… and there’s no stone left unturned today as the boys discuss them all in great detail. And if that’s not enough TOP CLASS PODCAST CONTENT, the boys also dig into Simon’s previous work before stand-up, in which he worked for a year as a doctor. What’s it like to see a human dead body? Forget that. Simon can tell you what it’s like to dissect a human dead body.  Today’s episode is almost guaranteed to enter the top shelf of Happy Hour classic guest episodes, and if you love Simon as much as we do and want more of him, you can go and see him live on tour here - https://www.simonbrodkin.com/simons-tour/ Learn more about your ad choices.

We’re LIFTING THE MOOD ON A MONDAY MORN with a Jaack, Stevie and Robbie all caught up! In this golden egg of an episode, Jaack and Stevie tell us about their recent trip to LA for a Spotify event. Celeb spotting was on the cards but there was one person in particular that the boys were extra giddy to meet! Jaack and Stevie watched their first ever NBA game - Lakers v Grizzlies - but were less than impressed with how America does sports, the price of beers, and LeBron’s son…  Jaack got into beef with a bodyguard, stole a teddy bear from a child, and also managed to embarrass himself in front of Caspar Lee. Stevie's business class flight left him with a LOT to grumble about, but at least he's now officially joined the half mile high club! Robbie has a bone to pick with BambinoBecky, after he was left to drink alone in Europe. He's also got a story about a very drunk Darren Huckerby, and we have a promise to our audience after the recent backlash over Robbie’s roast dinner. And old school JaackMaate returns after Robbie splurged on an advert calendar even worse than Zoella’s…  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
