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

511 - AGREE OR DISAGREE?!

We’re taking a pinch of Ladbible, a sprinkle of Reddit submissions, and adding in a healthy dollop of opinions that may get us cancelled… to give us the truly novel concept that has never ever been seen before - ‘AGREE OR DISAGREE’. Jaack, Stevie and Alfie are debating topics - some of which have the potential to get them cancelled, and a few that lead to a scrap between the boys... Learn more about your ad choices.

Two geezers... two of the UK’s biggest charvas... two blokes that nobody wants to mess with (although they have a heart of gold)... are today joined by Big John & Johnny Fisher! Johnny’s incredible boxing record speaks for itself but in today’s pod, the boys quickly find out that Johnny isn’t just brawn - but a whole load of brains too, as the Romford Bull gives Jaack & Stevie a lesson in history. It’s not just history discussed today with the Fishers as the foursome chat about Johnny’s plans for the future and his hopes of one day landing the British heavyweight belt. (And not the kind of heavyweight belt in Big John’s wardrobe!)  This fast-paced hour absolutely zooms by as Jaack, Stevie, Johnny & Big John discuss everything from selling tonnes of cheese in lockdown, to sparring with the Furys, to viral stardom.

Oh, and the lads also blind rank their ultimate Chinese takeaway… with surprising results.

Plus he addresses his secret marriage.  Alfie finally plucked up the courage to get naked, but someone had a tragic reaction to his penis. He also saw a builder do something truly shocking in broad daylight.  Stevie spent an entire football match looking at women with Norwich’s very own Tindler Swindler.

507 - Mass Debate!

507 - Mass Debate!

Jaack, Stevie and Robbie have taken inspiration from a Reddit suggestion and are coming together for this mass debate. We're discussing petty debate topics and asking Nonce God to help us decide the answer. Does chocolate belong in the fridge? Is it acceptable to piss in the sink instead of the toilet? Is it technically a toastie if it doesn't have cheese? Should the England manager be English? Is it gay to get pegged by a girl? If you cook 2 lasagnes and stack them on top of each other, do you have one lasagne or two lasagnes? And so many more... See you later, mass debaters. Learn more about your ad choices.

506 - TOM THE TAXI DRIVER - Celeb Passengers, Uber Wars, & INSANE Training Course!

A taxi driver is just a stranger who picks you up and drops you off, right? WRONG. There’s surprisingly a ton more that goes into it and Tom The Taxi Driver explains just why we should pay more attention to black cab drivers!  Since starting his YouTube channel during lockdown, it has boomed to over 100k subscribers that tune into his videos on secrets of the trade! Tom details how he mastered The Knowledge, and the extensive training and memorising routes that took YEARS to complete.  Tom busts myths on tipping, carrying animals, lost property, and fare dodgers. Why doesn’t he use a Sat Nav? Why should we use a black cab instead of an Uber? Why did a passenger smash his window? Toms spills the beans on the secret taxi network at Heathrow airport, and he shares some great food and pub recommendations from his extensive travels around London.  Tom also tells us about the wonderful annual charity event that he’s involved in, where a convoy of around 100 black cabs all transport sick children and their families to Disneyland Paris - check out the links below and consider donating to support this fantastic cause.  www.magicaltaxitour.com www.justgiving.com/page/chcd-charity-trust-1701455093222 Learn more about your ad choices.

505 - Habbo Hotel Hook Ups & Pitch Side Punch Ups (All Caught Up!)

505 - Habbo Hotel Hook Ups & Pitch Side Punch Ups (All Caught Up!)

Robbie is tired, Jaack is ill, and Stevie is... unfortunately here. In this very Habbo-heavy All Caught Up, Jaack explains how there is a secret criminal underworld to the game, and the boys discover he has been unintentionally grooming girls online. Jaack reveals how much money he has pumped into Habbo since it's recent relaunch, and he teaches Robbie about how to make bank on the game, which is a fairly painful listen. Speaking of painful, Jaack shares how he was PUNCHED at a Sunday league match, but the story has a satisfying twist ending! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

504 - WHATWILLYCOOK - Feed The Rat, Condiment Drama, & Rating Jaack’s Meat!

504 - WHATWILLYCOOK - Feed The Rat, Condiment Drama, & Rating Jaack’s Meat!

Jaack’s had his favourite comedian of all time on the pod in Ricky Gervais. He’s had his favourite footballer of all time on the pod in Mark Noble, and today… Jaack has his favourite silly internet food man of all time (or certainly the last 10 months) in WhatWillyCook! (Granted, it’s a niche title, but it’s a crown Willy wears with pride!)  WhatWillyCook blends humour, delicious recipes and easy-to-follow instructions to bring his online followers absolutely mouth-watering grub they can make at home. But today on Happy Hour, Willy throws his recipes away and whips out some incredibly amusing anecdotes about his hometown of Stratford-upon-Avon. Ever wondered why once a year a group of stoned blokes lob cheese into a river? Of course not, you’re not mental. But Willy explains why anyway!  From contemplating Shakespeare eating Big Macs, to role playing as human poos, and researching the life of eels - Will is as bloody bizarre as he is fucking funny, and this 90 minutes absolutely flies by as the boys get on like a house on fire. There’s often a debate on which guest would make the perfect fifth skin? Well, I think after today’s episode, that debate can be safely squashed for a good while!  Willy and all of his culinary expertise give the ultimate decision on Britain’s best and worst condiments as the Chef himself blind ranks sauces. Willy reveals which A-list Hollywood actor DM’s him for ruddy-good restaurant recommendations… as well as revealing the ultimate food gaff in London!  Plus Jaack brings in a glazed ham that he did all by his big old self, and Willy rates it. The first time in over 250 guest episodes in which Jaack has successfully convinced the guest to have a nibble on his meat. Which proves the saying is right - if at first you don’t succeed… glaze a ham in shit loads of honey.  If this episode was a sandwich, then Will proved to be a perfect filling in between two crusty, out-of-date, stale hosts.
