JaackMaate’s Happy Hour – Details, episodes & analysis

Warning: today’s episode contains something that has never, ever happened in almost 500 episodes of Happy Hour. Some listeners may be horrified. Some may be incredibly amused. (Fiona here… I’m horrified and amused in equal measure… but also kind of want to leave Jack now?) Now 2 weeks ago saw the release of Soundtrack To Our Lives, and you guys loved it so much* we just had to make a part two! (*we had loads of unused questions). Jaack, Stevie and Alfie dive deep into the perfect festival song (and why budding musician Alfie detests… live music). 21 Pilots take Jaack for a ‘Ride’ at Reading Fest. Alfie’s been ‘Waiting All Night’ for his Mum to pick him up from a Rudimental gig, and Stevie got to watch a ‘Fire’ performance from Kasabian from the side of stage at Kendal Calling. Some big questions are also answered amongst today’s bizarre music ramblings. Just how instrumental was Jaack in bringing Oasis back together? Has a straight person ever truly enjoyed a Micheal Bublé gig? Should we REALLY be trying to cancel Chappell Roan?  Today’s episode might be a part 2, but this musical number has all the hallmarks of a chart-topping number 1! (Or if we’re being completely honest, it’s that slightly weird song you’re embarrassed to admit to your mates that you quite like). Enjoy. Learn more about your ad choices.

Darragh Ennis was living a regular life until a decision to apply for tv quiz show The Chase in the hopes of winning enough money for a new back door changed his whole life. After appearing on the show in 2017, and being the stand out contestant in his group of 4, ITV bosses called him up to invite him back onto the show - but this time as a Chaser! Darragh “The Menace” Ennis was born and shot to fame during lockdown. A far cry from his previous life working in a lab dissecting the brains of fruit flies, Darragh shares his entire journey in this nearly 2 hour episode.  What are the best memory techniques and pub quiz tips? Why are IQ tests a load of bollocks? What happens when a contestant contests an answer on The Chase? Why does Darragh have a habit of shouting CHEESE?  Darragh spills the beans on his fellow Chasers, and shares plenty of behind the scenes secrets of the show. He also settles the debate about whether celebs get given easier questions, and his honest thoughts on the backlash from his debut episode. Plus we put Darragh’s knowledge to the test with a Chase style quiz against Jaack, and Darragh manages to make Jaack look even more thick than normal, which we didn’t think was possible…  Learn more about your ad choices.
