Welcome back to Happy Hourween - five days of chilling tales concluding with a bumper Halloween special. Stevie is taking on our second episode of the series with “Warning, Bears Exist”.  Being a Search and Rescue Officer for the US Forest Service is certainly not a walk in the park (…or…forest). A lot of unexplained and spooky things are found in the wilderness, from stalkers, to staircases. Children are going missing, women are getting brutally murdered, and there are bears EVERYWHERE. There’s also a weird hench baby.  Come back tomorrow for Robbie’s terrifying tale! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It’s been 3 and a half years since Tom and Ben from true crime podcast “I Could Murder A Podcast” graced the Happy Hour studio and we’ve finally got them back on to kickstart our 2025 spooky season!  They bring to the table a rundown of the chilling case of Virginia McCullough - a woman who murdered both of her parents and then hid their bodies in her house for FOUR years. We delve into the motive behind the killings and how Virginia successfully duped friends and family (including her four siblings) into believing her parents were still alive.  Happy Hour goes head to head with I Could Murder A Podcast as we test how well each duo knows each other in a game of Mr & Mr! Tom also has a bone to pick with something Jaack said about him on a previous episode, and he really wants to set the record straight… We finish the episode by tiptoeing through a torture timeline where the ICMAP boys tell us all about the 5 worst medieval torture methods. How can honey and milk kill someone? Which of your holes would a Judas cradle feel the worst in? What on earth is a pear of anguish? youtube.com/icouldmurderapodcast instagram.com/couldmurderapod Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Alfie’s obsession with the original version of Four In A Bed is no secret, so when Happy Hour listener “foobiomon” suggested we do our own Dream version, we knew we had no choice! In part 1 (#597) we explored Alfie and Jaack's guest houses.  We kick off part 2 with Stevie's haunted hotel where guests are not guaranteed to make it out alive... There are unexpected intruders in each room, but Robbie doesn't feel as if he's drawn the short straw. There's a spot of illegal activity too with a worrying lack of human rights for the staff and a suspicious meat served with breakfast.  We finish off this series with Robbie's B&B, which has just had it’s grand opening and has already caused quite the buzz! How far can one man stretch his creative limits when dedicating an entire hotel to one very specific theme? The sleeping arrangements in this B&B have a rather, er, communal feel, and the very thing soothing you to sleep may turn out to be the source of your nightmares!  And finally, after each of the boys has taken their turn to host in their hypothetical hotel, we can finally crown a WINNER.  Learn more about your ad choices.
