JaackMaate’s Happy Hour

Simon Wilson makes his Happy Hour hat trick, and this time he’s on for a game of ‘Would You Lie To Me?’! Simon has to read out a series of statements - some true and some completely made up - to see if reigning champion Stevie can separate the fact from the fiction. 

Did Simon have a cameo in a Justin Bieber music video? Does he regularly play the president of Poland on Playstation? Did he win an ITV dating show and then reject his match? Is it true that he celebrated his birthday in North Korea with a cake from the government? 

We also chat fatherhood (his 1 year old son has already been to more countries than us) and his latest travel adventures including a trip on Pakistan’s most dangerous sleeper train. Plus Simon brings in an item to show us that is without a doubt the most expensive thing that has ever been inside the Happy Hour studio…

It’s been a year since last our confessions episode and, with our upcoming live show, we decided now is the perfect time to collect more of our listeners deepest darkest confessions. Two little boys and their really old dad are reacting to YOUR submissions, and deciding whether the filthy sinners can be forgiven. 

We’ve got a groundbreaking update on a confession someone made in front of the entire audience at a 2023 Happy Hour live show that involves a famous singer. There’s a blunder with a beggar, a shoe swap in a shoe shop, and a faecal gift for a future mother-in-law. 

Jaack also has a few confessions of his own, including his bidet fail, why he made the news at age six, and the prank he played on a neighbour that haunts him to this day…

In this special 2 hour long episode, we sit down with renowned palaeontologist and author Dr Dean Lomax for a journey into the world of dinosaurs! After showing an interest in palaeontology (the study of prehistoric life through fossils) from a young age, Dean sold his Star Wars collectibles to fund a fossil hunting trip in Wyoming at the age of 18. 

He has since uncovered countless fossils, named new species, written multiple books and academic papers, and worked on films and tv shows as a dinosaur expert. Not bad for someone who failed science at school. 

Dean shares how he discovered a dinosaur whilst having a wee, tells us about his friendship with David Attenborough, and reveals what happens on a dig site. He answers all of our silly questions - Could we bring dinosaurs back to life through DNA like in Jurassic Park? Can you name a new species of dinosaur after yourself? How do we know that dinosaur bones haven’t been mixed up with other species? Which Pokemon are based on real dinos? 

Plus Dean brings in some actual treasures from the ancient world, and we crack open some fossils live on the pod! Dr Lomax’s books are available on Amazon, or Waterstones in the UK. Check out his latest release “The Secret Lives of Dinosaurs”.
