Stand up comedian, podcaster, and serial liar Red Richardson is on the pod!

For Danny Aarons' FIFTH appearance on Happy Hour, we decided to test his lying skills with a game of 'Would You Lie To Me?". We have several statements for Danny to read out - some are truths that he's submitted and some are lies that Jaack has made up - and it’s up to Stevie to separate the fact from the fiction. From footballer fist fights, to Fortnite confessions, to cinema cameos, to merch misery, to mental breakdowns over bugs. We’re horrified at Danny’s weird pronunciation of a certain word, and he also makes a shocking confession about his toilet habits. We chat to Danny about looksmaxxing, why he regretted becoming a dad, his hatred for streamer N3on, and whether he'll be back in the boxing ring again. Plus, how Jaack managed to cause a huge argument between Danny and his fiancée Tennessee... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Scott Williams grew up as an emo kid in a rough area and dreamt of being a footballer, but the oche had other ideas. Naturally gifted from the start, he explains how he fell into the sport of darts, what happened on his first time on TV, and why he didn’t celebrate his only televised nine-darter. Scott opens up about the infamous middle finger fines, the “World War” chant controversy, why he refuses to sit at the same table as Rob Cross, and being approached about match-fixing. He shares his first impressions of a 12-year-old Luke Littler long before the mania kicked in, the Luke Humphries bust-up, and why sometimes he’ll throw a no-look 180 purely for entertainment. There’s plenty of darts nerd chat too - “dartitis” and the psychological battle of not being able to let go of the dart, what actually makes a “good throw”, and why Scott thinks trackers are completely pointless. There’s dressing-room antics involving Michael van Gerwen, hungover Dave Chisnall, and some strong opinions on Andrew Gilding. We wrap it up with a HUGE Happy Hour announcement you won’t want to miss! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We’re joined by the insanely talented rock guitarist Sophie Lloyd who tours with Jaack’s arch nemesis Machine Gun Kelly. Sophie shares how playing for MGK came about, including the DM that started it all and why he reached out to her in the first place. Of course we had to ask Sophie about the infamous photo that Jaack took with MGK at Reading Festival… Is he aware of the meme? Why was he so grumpy? What is he actually like in real life? We hear what happens on a Machine Gun Kelly tour bus (mainly drugs) and the chaotic story of how Sophie’s mum somehow ended up twerking for Drake in MGK’s dressing room! Sophie opens up about being bullied at school for being emo, and the creepy emails from a stalker that nearly led to a restraining order. She talks about finding her people in the alt scene, overcoming imposter syndrome while playing sold-out arenas, and performing on the Formula 1 stage and at the Women's Rugby World Cup Final (plus the famous rock icon that commented on her performance!) We also dive into what Yungblud is like in real life, the wildest things that have gone wrong mid-performance, and learn some proper guitar lingo for anyone wanting to shred like a pro. Sophie even brings in a surprise gift that might just be the best thing we’ve ever received on the show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

We sit down with TikTok sensation, rockstar and comedic enigma Rufus Rice and, even after spending time with him, we’re still not entirely sure if he’s playing a character or simply so posh that he confuses us… Rufus gives insight into how rich he and his family really are. He shares stories from his early years in Singapore - from the secrets of a strict boarding school to what happened when he got drunk underage in a country where minor lawbreakers are punished with actual whippings. Rufus addresses the Tory allegations, and we give him the ultimate Posh Test to decide where he sits on a scale from Max Fosh to the King of England. We also test his knowledge of common council estate things. Has he ever had a Lambrini? Does he know how to play Dog’s Arse? Would he ever set foot in a Euroshopper? Plus, the time a game of Ding Dong Ditch REALLY backfired, his most controversial opinion involving charity, and whether we’re ever going to see him in a Sidemen charity match.
