570 - World's WORST Inventions Part 2 (Radioactive Milk, Firework Chairs, & Bomberanians!)

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. From chicken balls, to Essex “beanos”, this episode covers so much in such a short space of time, we guarantee your commute will be fly by with these four in your ears! Oh, and the lads also blind rank their ultimate Chinese takeaway… with surprising results. In episode #373 of Happy Hour, the crafty cockney Tom Skinner claims he started the “bosh” catchphrase within the Essex circle. So today… once and for all… we get to finally put the question to Big John. Did you steal Bosh?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jaack, Stevie and Alfie sit down for an absolute minefield of an All Caught Up. Jaack took a trip to Poland and somehow managed to be shouted at by not only a Polish woman, but also the flight attendant. 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. And in other news that we’ll pretend to be shocked at - Stevie has been a Karen again…  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jordan Stephens and Harley Alexander-Sule - AKA rap duo Rizzle Kicks - are BACK after an 8 year hiatus!  The boys share what it’s like to attend BRIT school - which is completely different to what we were expecting - and the one reason the principal thought Jordan wouldn’t make it as a successful musician. They share how Fearne Cotton was instrumental in the success of Rizzle Kicks, and why their Pharrell Williams collab cannot be released!  Harley talks about why he turned down money to be a semi pro footballer, and a ChatGPT mix causes him to storm off! And Jordan admits to a crime he commits pretty much weekly. This episode has the perfect blend of laughs and deep moments - the pair open up about Harley’s anxiety, Jordan’s sobriety journey, and what it was like to experience overnight fame at age of 19.  Grab your tickets to see Rizzle Kicks live here - https://tix.to/RK25 Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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.

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

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.

Jaack and Stevie have roped in Robbie for a Q&A and we’re answering questions such as who we’ve turned down for an interview, how close we’ve been to ending the pod for good, and which guests can we not stand now.  There’s some wisdom from Robbie about old age, and Stevie explains his huge falling out with a popular british YouTuber. There’s a much anticipated arse update on Robbie’s ongoing anal issues! And we have a mission for our listeners to help make Alfie’s All Caught Ups more exciting…  Speaking of ACU, Stevie is STILL being awkward with Darren Huckerby in the gym, and he’s done something so horrific that he’s had to make a public apology.
