This week you’re getting an extra episode alongside yesterday's Urban Legends, you lucky people! This episode is a special Room 102… And we definitely haven’t just used the format from Room 101…  Stevie, Fiona and Alex are complaining about some of the things they hate the most, and Jack is choosing which one is truly the most annoying, before banishing it to Room 102. There are some big moans about stanning, mispronouncing food names, invading personal space and McDonalds - just to name a few. The question is, which one is truly the worst? Plus Stevie’s got a story about a fight on a bus and Jack’s been shouted at by an angry taxi driver. Enjoy the extra podcast! ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Our last Urban Legends episode was a big hit with you guys, so for this week’s show, Jack and Stevie are joined by Fiona and Alex for some more dark legends!  Stevie’s got crazy stories about the Weeping Woman, who kidnaps children in the night and the murderous Bunnyman, who’s escaped from a mental asylum.  Plus, we hear about the White Lady, who haunts and murders people, and a disappearing hitchhiker. Expect drownings, stranglings and a whole load of scary ghosts.  And we'll be rating them all out of ten for believability and scariness. Strap in, this episode gets a bit wild. ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Birthdays! We've all got one, and Jack's is tomorrow! He's convinced it's going to be his last one, so enjoy the podcast whilst you can... To mark the occasion, Jack's quizzing Robbie what the best age is, and what it's like to celebrate your children's birthdays. Plus the boys are reading their horoscopes. There's also some very off topic (but very interesting) conversation about Valentine's Day and whether Robbie is scared of dying... ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

For this week’s episode, Jack, Jordan and Stevie hosted Josh Pieters and Archie Manners. In case you’ve been living under a rock, they’re the masters behind the viral video of Katie Hopkins accepting a fake award, called the ‘Campaign to Unify the Nation Trophy’... We’ll let you work out the acronym there. Josh and Archie have also fooled some of the country’s biggest reality stars into saying things like ‘we should all keep our fridge doors open to battle global warming’ AND they’ve tricked a number of YouTubers with an Ed Sheeran lookalike. As things go, they’re pretty good at pulling off top quality YouTube videos! This episode they explained how they make those videos happen, why Josh felt the need to reinvent his channel so much and they give us a tiny tease of what we can expect in the future… ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

On the latest installment of Happy Half Hour, Jack and Robbie had a sit down to talk about something dear to their hearts - computer games. They caught up on what they’re currently playing, shared their favourite consoles and their best memories. They also spoke about some forgotten games from their childhoods and the first games they ever played. Robbie told Jack about ‘Soccer Supremos’, a 90s ‘Play By Mail’ game and Jack some stories about his exploits as ‘No.1.Chav’ on Habbo Hotel… Some of them may not have been totally legal… Expect Fifa, Fortnite, Call of Duty, Pokemon, GTA and a whole load more. ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

For this week’s Happy Hour, Jack and Stevie are joined by entrepreneur Harry Hugo, who has unbelievable behind the scenes knowledge of Youtube! He came on the show to explain the inner workings of YouTube, including how YouTubers are making money these days, how creators are having to change their image and what it’s like to secure huge brand deals.  If that wasn’t enough, he also ran Cristiano Ronaldo’s social media for two years. Mental. This is the perfect place to find out what your favourite creators are really like when the cameras aren’t rolling! Hugo’s your man.

On this week’s Happy Half Hour, Robbie’s taking the time to teach Jack about alcohol. From wine culture, to mixing Glen’s vodka with blue energy drink, there’s lots to talk about. The lads also share their worst hangovers, their stupidest drunk decisions and Jack even has a thing or two to teach Robbie, regarding the infamous ‘chunder dragon’. Cheers! ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

On this week’s Happy Hour we’re joined by Music Manager John Dawkins! He’s worked alongside number one band The Enemy, has hung out with the Gallaghers and considers Tom Grennan a brother.  On this episode he shares stories about what it’s like to work in the music industry, and dishes some serious gossip on the sex, drugs and rock n roll that comes with it! He’s also got a big confession which he’s kept a secret for fifteen years. Not to be missed! ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

This week, Robbie told Jack about his experiences of childbirth. Well… as a Dad. From delivering his first child, to ending up with a placenta in a Tesco bag, it turns out having kids can be pretty intense.    The boys also talk about whether it’s okay to drink breast milk (?) and how to get a load of free stuff when you’ve got a baby.   ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Our boy AnEsonGib has bounced straight back and joined us for his first exclusive interview, fresh from his fight with Jake Paul! He gave us an insight into his crazy training regime, what it’s like to take part in a professional boxing fight, what was going through his head during the match and whether he’s going to be taking on Jake again in the future. We also got to hear about the press conference, how it’s changed the way he views boxing and what kind of response he’s had since the fight. Plus, Alfie’s got a slightly less inspiring story to share about being kicked out of the stadium by an angry bouncer called Damien…   ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Robbie went to uni, and Jack didn’t, so this week’s lesson is all about… you guessed it: university. Robbie gives Jack some insight into what the parties were like, why some of them involved their 75 year old neighbours and how he ended up as an Economics tutor for one of the best looking girls in his halls. We also get to hear about why Jack decided to quit college two weeks before his A-Levels, and how his YouTube channel got him an offer to study in Southampton! ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

To celebrate a year on the podcast, Jordan’s bringing us some more of his best (and worst) conspiracy theories… Do pigeons work for the government? What do Harry and Meghan have planned for their royal leave? Did Jeffrey Epstein really kill himself? Is Stevie Wonder actually blind?  Jack and Stevie are rating all of these theories and more for believability out of ten. Plus there’s the much anticipated return of ‘yeeeeeeah but is it legit or is it utter bullshit?’ Prepare to have your mind blown.   ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

The second episode of Happy Half Hour is here! On this week’s episode, Jack and Robbie are talking all about weddings.

On this week's Happy Hour, the lads are joined in the studio by the iconic Blue Van Man. He had the pleasure of eating the ultimate burger, lovingly sourced by Jack and Jordan from various different fast food chains around London and he had his knowledge of chips pushed to the limit (sort of) with a blind taste test. He also shared who his ultimate dinner party guests would be, opened up about his experiences with debt and answered some of your questions from Twitter! ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.
