JaackMaate’s Happy Hour

The sultry tones of Northern Irish comedian and podcaster Shane Todd grace the studio today as he shares stories from his chaotic life. Despite having no acting experience, he somehow landed himself the lead role in Ireland’s top kung-fu zombie film (it’s a niche genre) but tells us about how he nearly died on set. 

Speaking of disasters, we also hear about his drunk audition for Top Boy, and how he managed to misinterpret some simple instructions during an audition for Derry Girls. There’s garden centre trips with celebrities, scoring a worldie goal against a huge footballer, and being accidentally knocked out - twice. 

We feel like we need Shane’s dad on the podcast too after hearing about how he got scammed in Tenerife, why he enjoys strangers punching him, and and the time he gifted Shane a wholesome souvenir that turned out to actually be not very wholesome after all…

We’re taking another trip to nostalgia town - this time with our token old man Robbie, who walks us through what it was like growing up in the 1800s. Sorry, I mean 80s. 

From the first time tourettes was ever shown on television, to how Robbie bribed his way to owning a Blue Peter badge, to the reason why shows don’t accept live phone-ins anymore. The boys reminisce about the best computer games and kids tv shows, with Robbie treating us to a performance of his favourite theme tune. 

Robbie shares how he consumed adult entertainment pre-internet, Stevie confesses something we’re pretty sure no other child did infront of their parents, and Jaack tells us about his first experience on crack. 

Check out #384 for our previous nostalgia episode with Alfie.

After graduating from film school, Dick Bush (yes, we ask him if this is his real name) had dreams of becoming the next Tarantino or Scorsese. What he didn’t anticipate was that his award winning films would be in the sector of adult entertainment. After many years in the porn industry, Dick has seen it all - literally. 

Dick breaks down how he accidentally fell into this line of work, how the job has affected his relationships and attitude toward sex, and why he cannot watch his own films. Dick shares insider secrets from behind the camera, wildest shoots, weirdest injuries, and the most disgusting thing he’s ever witnessed. We delve into what really happens on set when performers can’t finish, and the carefully crafted science behind the perfect “money shot”. 

Dick also shares his unfiltered takes on AI in porn, Bonnie Blue’s stunts, and what it’s like working with top performers Danny D and Rebecca Goodwin. Plus, he shows up with a suitcase full of surprises that immediately gives us flashbacks to Rebecca’s sticky tentacle…

We’re rolling Indra deep end of main shows lately but we’re not complaining! Well, we might be after this episode. Alfie has planned this entire episode in about 3 and a half minutes, so let’s see how this goes… 

Whenever Alfie has a deep thought - usually while doing a sit down wee - he makes a note of it so he can bring it to the pod for all you philosophers out there. And with a very limited amount of Googling allowed during this episode, we have to philosophise by ourselves using our existing (and again, very limited) knowledge. 

Why do we need to measure our age? What would happen if everyone stopped paying their mortgage? Why do all humans not like the same foods? What is the point in having a name? What gender are shoes?
