JaackMaate’s Happy Hour

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”.

We talk about being scouted as a goalkeeper by Manchester United, turning down Rangers, working as an accountant before risking everything on darts, and the moment he realised he could genuinely make it as a pro. 

Nathan chats going from pub leagues to Q school, earning his tour card, and the moment he found out he didn’t make the Premier League 2026 line up via TEXT. We dive into his struggles with dartitis, what the “Aspinall Rash” is, and how he's somehow made it big while admitting he does zero practice. Nathan reveals which darts players are invited to his wedding, and which of them has their own room in his house!

Plus some very questionable pet ownership, how a phobia nearly made him move house, and blind ranking the greatest walk-ons in darts history.

You’ve very likely seen videos of serial entrepreneur, viral sensation and maker of dreams Simon Squibb giving away cash and advice on the streets to help kickstart people’s business dreams. He’s on the pod today to share exactly how he went from dropping out of school, to becoming a multi-millionaire. 

Simon opens up about sleeping rough at 15 after being kicked out, building a gardening business with zero money or experience, making serious cash before most people finish school, and eventually retiring at 40. But despite the success, the thing he seems most obsessed with isn’t money - it’s changing how people think about work, drive and education. 

With a goal of helping 10 million strangers launch a successful business, and revamping the current education system, Simon is both knowledgeable and ambitious. What’s the easiest way to make a grand? Should you invest in property or crypto? What’s the step by step process to building a company?
