STEPHEN TRIES | Sidemen, XO, Jez Lynch, and more!

Here's the full episode with the delightful StephenTries. Stephen has Jaack & Stevie chuckling as he tells stories from his comedy degree (yep, that's a real thing), his first impression of WillNE, to what Jeremy Swaz is really like in person. Plenty of Wembley Cup chat, plenty of XO chat, and of course, meals deals get a mention.
Did XO end because of Cam Kirkham? Would Stephen join the eboys? Why is he not part of the Sidemen? Life's greatest mysteries.. answered here.

[@HappyHourPodcast]

Huge thanks to Stephen for finally gracing our studio and giving the people what they want! Drop the video a like if you enjoyed! This week is a mad one for Happy Hour. Raphael Rowe - who spent 12 years in prison for a crime he DID NOT commit - drops tomorrow. Get excited!

[@bubblesmasher4939]

I am excited

[@thomasadams6296]

Stephen is actually the funniest guy on KZbin

[@unoriginalog836]

This podcast has helped me so much with being far from home and alone

[@pasawaypinoy4350]

You’re having so many great guests keep at it guys. And we’ll keep watching ;)

[@amandalawson4028]

Happy Hour Podcast this was a great vid steven is such a good guest he is so honest and he’s frankly hilarious

[@archiehaynes431]

The titled sections are so useful

[@Bootysmoothie]

Yeah I always like to skip the trailer section I just like to start it off from the beginning

[@myloriptide5358]

So true

[@tominman2023]

its one of the few things KZbin has done right this year, really good, simple and innovative feature

[@chrisbuss3208]

Seriously helpful when re-watching 🤟🏻

[@Yung.Uchiha]

Game changer

[@J-roll1]

you don't understand how painful it is waiting for the full thing whilst little clips are being posted and trying not to watch them

[@Sixuuxjsn]

Never related to something so much

[@Sixuuxjsn]

So hard trying not to spoil It for yourself but getting drawn in by the click bait

[@DMCM1]

Facts

[@elainedunn1150]

so true

[@bellemiller7544]

yes! been putting off watching these clips all week!

[@Ehgg-]

I’d love a a Stephen tries Netflix special, I’d pay to go to it then pay for Netflix just to rewatch it

[@ZachDensonGames]

Sameee

[@SuperMyslayer]

You should honestly try and get W2S on the podcast. I don't think he ever went on one and it'd be interesting to see some more of him

[@phoenix-king779]

yeah harry is interesting

[@PastPresentandFuture]

Yeah init w2s is self made aswell

[@polockuddin2454]

i don't think he likes to share private things with fans, he is socially awkward aswell

[@anarcho-communist3897]

Behzingas Dad I mean, Harry could’ve just said he doesn’t want to

[@polockuddin2454]

Behzingas Dad I learn to read, I said I “think” and the fact that he is socially awkward emerged in multiple videos

[@thomasadams6296]

Anyone think Stephen is the funniest guy on KZbin

[@nathana2222]

Just behind max😂

[@jackbell7074]

Literally everyone

[@birchy8488]

100%

[@w0odzyy529]

He’s deffo up there

[@samstudy21]

Andrew schulz

[@CozyHi]

Stephen is one of the few people who can be naturally funny without even trying, he should have more appearances on the pod

[@unoriginalog836]

You copied this comment

[@nabeelnoushad7846]

Lily singh is the worlds counter balance for stephen

[@harryb7552]

I searched for this and it was uploaded 35 seconds ago life is good

[@1234dhrifjevdigjr]

They come out a day early on spotify and itunes

[@ciaranconlon5451]

Wish mine was just gets worse

[@harryb7552]

Ciaran Conlon bro head up I had a longgg day and then came home to this so felt better

[@megganrobson3157]

Mrkribz is

[@nandanpillai4675]

Does anyone else hold back from watching the clips just to wait for the full version

[@Jake-jm6jd]

Yeah

[@hellzila]

Nope.

[@AdityaSingh-kt1jd]

@Jacob Davies How early are we talking about?

[@kaspersklips6619]

No

[@deanonewton8704]

Comedy Central should give Stephen Tries his own sketch show.

[@mn98lfc]

Honestly don’t think Stephen realises how funny he is

[@wilabanodeniro9780]

Pretty sure the guy that has run a comedy channel for years knows he’s funny

[@alexmarkham6534]

10 minutes in and Stephens wit is unrivalled. Truly the funniest on youtube

[@hnnh621]

Stephen referring to Brian and Lawrence as his dads is class😂

[@tomoscaioaprhun7899]

FULL PODCAST TO BE UPLOADED BEFORE CLIPS. Like to sign petition

[@EdCole-fz9kd]

That’s how joe rogan does it

[@diskid3644]

Joe Allen’s Beard release them at the same time?

[@alexodoherty4313]

It’s what jre does

[@yewtree8]

He said before its part of his contract with his network to upload clips before the full thing, no clips, no full KZbin podcast

[@SCBLGamingFilm]

Stephen really comes across well in this. So normal and down to earth. Nicest bloke on KZbin honestly.

[@MrJB2224]

Finally, the one person I've been waiting for!!! The funniest man/boy in all the land

[@rayhanuddin2085]

Ever considered that the intro/trailer is a bit too long Jack?

[@n_jsk2904]

Rayhan Uddin lol I was thinking that should be like 30 seconds

[@Ryanwolson12]

Defo, 2 minutes for a trailer at the start of the podcast haha, so stupid

[@ayaankhan2717]

I kept thinking that. The entire point of a trailer is to build up more interest for what is about to be shown. I swear literally half the viewers clicked off around the two minute mark.

[@sivertpettersen4472]

Yeah i always skip it

[@gsungud]

He doesn't need it for the clips. But it should be alot shorter.

[@kiancoleman04]

i can imagine Swaz being the type of guy to say “my ball my rules “

[@cameronprice6889]

stephens such a down to earth guy, great podcast

[@thomasroberts2234]

Jeremy Lynch: you don’t need a mask when you’re with me. Coronavirus: think again.

[@louiedunphy8881]

Belter that mate

[@alexinho1484]

Thats funnier than jezza's mate

[@Zavier21]

You should do stand up lad

[@StrangeClothes]

Wish I’d been voted the funniest, I got “most likely to be on Jeremy Kyle”

[@aaronshone30]

RIP

[@StrangeClothes]

HW nah, unfortunately I’ve missed my chance now

[@thatchoirgirl94]

I totally get that Max didn't return a Midsomer Murders dvd. What an amazing and classy show!! But it's of course horrendously stupid to sacrifice your degree for that.

[@williambarton2630]

max needs something to watch in his underground cinema

[@joshjohnson721]

I think it’s funny and applaud him considering the irony of the degree he was getting 👍🏻

[@tylerkimpton9925]

I been waiting all week for this. Don’t even need to watch it’s a banger, much love guys ❤️

[@thomasadams6296]

Loved the clips can’t wait to finish the full podcast

[@JR28.]

Thank you so much for the time stamps, they really make things easier when continuing where I left off. Wish more podcasts put in as much effort as you guys👍

[@mowcatsallstars9043]

Love seeing you guys pushing out the KZbin content atm. Personally watch and listen more when it’s on KZbin rather than Spotify as sometimes I forget without seeing it pop up! Top stuff lads

[@poseidonfootball5383]

Already listened to the whole thing on Spotify but the visuals give it a whole different dynamic

[@davidferns3584]

Such a great podcast, bloody hell you guys have great chemistry

[@samnez6242]

Haven't watched any of the clips for this one as I wanted to watch it as a whole. So excited to watch it

[@harrywoodward3310]

Been looking forward to the whole episode after watching the clip, hard for me to not say that Stephen is probably one of the nicest and most naturally funny guys on KZbin. The effort and time he puts into his work is incredible

[@JForce2k8]

Been waiting for this for 3 days, the clips have been amazing!

[@Danstar11]

The dynamic between Jack, Alfie and Stephen is brilliant, great work.

[@ProBectonGamer]

One of the best guests, such a naturally funny guy.

[@liambrittle6177]

The setup of this video and how it’s put together is really good. So much effort into this! 👍

[@ollyhughes1]

‘He’s getting a lamboghini’😂😂😂 love how brian sorts em right out😂😂

[@ryan7297]

Probably my favourite happy hour yet. Loved it. Could watch Stephen all day

[@Leo-gj7xq]

Honestly one of the best podcasts I’ve ever watched. Could watch a 10 hour pod with you guys. And Stephans joke about the wheel of futune is one of the funniest thing I’ve ever heard

[@dansimpson9214]

I love Happy Hour but this one was my favourite. Stephen is so funny and with you and Alfie he just seem to be so relaxed. Great work Jack !! You are smashing it right now with your guests 🤜💥🤛

[@katym995]

Yesss the full podcast ☺️

[@samuelhughes9021]

This video actually made me laugh out loud multiple times. One of, if not, the best podcast on the channel.

[@Max-es3xk]

One of the best guests so far

[@jackbenham8852]

About time mate! Been waiting for this ever since the livestream...

[@aidencurran6085]

My new fav podcast, always been a fan but this lockdown podcast material hits different 😆

[@scottobrien301]

Saying wheel of fut-tune brought back so many memories 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@joepope8134]

I have only just started watching these podcasts, but I am hooked. A fantastically honest and open podcast with some great guests, got to get W2S on! Well done Jack!

[@darkdaylightnight6179]

love the segments! and being able to click through.

[@jonesy1589]

Loved this! been following Stephen since he had around 40k subscribers, he's came so far since then.

[@Goldeneagle59]

This is class mate, Stephen's definitely one of the best guys on youtube now

[@poseidonfootball5383]

This is a good podcast and all, but does Stevie White own a Lamborghini ? I think not.

[@evanwynter6374]

Love happy hour this is the only podcast i watch, nothing compares to it keep up the great work !

[@solchatz5871]

Stephen should do more stand up he'll be on Netflix one day

[@badmanshakif6216]

Jack to Stephen:You're like the 8th Sidemen member Calfreezy:Am I a joke to you

[@hunglo5218]

The bit when they talk about Stephen bombing on his stand up is the funniest bit. Im sure it wasn't funny for him at the time but i find the funniest things to talk about is things that are actually very awkward at the time but when you look back on it its actually hilarious. Great content lads!

[@wetkneehouston6293]

Been waiting for this one, stephen and max are like mothers to me

[@freyasmith]

This just made my day 100 times better and I haven't even watched it yet

[@joshuafryer_]

been waiting for this masterpiece all week

[@ChrisHowardYT]

Excellent Podcast, truly top of the game at the minute with the pod.

[@awaisijaz6570]

[@connerpears1]

[@aprili8322]

Don't usually comment but have to say this is the only podcast I will watch fully, great content

[@harrybrown6148]

One of the best in a long while

[@Terrezio]

The video I know Stephen for the most is "How to be Chicken Connoisseur"😂

[@lukedickinson9379]

Is it controversial to say this is Jackmate's best content? Love the podcast! Great guests and jacks a very relatable guy!

[@sircatsdunnocatsdunno7014]

Been waiting for this :)

[@jamesywulf2339]

Stephen is so ridiculously funny, i don’t understand why he’s so underrated absolute mad lad!

[@jonvart6136]

i like how jack finds the phrase "well thats going in the trailer" funny every time he says it

[@jcc1760]

What a lovely humble guy. Very self aware, not to mention hilarious too

[@tgs4207]

Been waiting for this Gem!

[@michellewaltham9527]

Im 49 and i love you Stephen. Your the funniest guy ive seen. You’d be great doing a tour

[@tom1323]

Something good about having the option of watching the podcasts rather than just listening, especially with funny episodes like Stephen

[@JoshuaHeathJwshGaming123]

May be my new favourite podcast on guests and handy time stamps alone

[@clareholden3253]
