The World Cup of Good Jobs kicks off with Groups A–D, celebrating the roles people secretly (or not so secretly) think are the dream.

From the pressure and prestige of an F1 Safety Car Driver and the obsession-fuelled madness of a Football Manager, to the high-risk freedom of a Professional Gambler, the responsibility of a Pilot, the controversy and curiosity around being a Porn Star, and the modern chaos of life as a YouTuber — this tournament asks one simple question: what actually makes a job “good”?

Is it money? Status? Freedom? Lifestyle? Or just the ability to tell people what you do without immediately regretting it?

As ever, the criteria is debated, bent, and occasionally ignored altogether as we weigh glamour against graft, fantasy against reality, and childhood dreams against adult stress.

This episode sets the tone for the tournament.
Groups E–H and the knockout rounds continue exclusively on Patreon, where the full arguments, deeper dives and inevitable disagreements live.

With the Premier League taking a breather for a long, slightly painful FA Cup Fourth Round weekend, Crazy Ginger Cabbie and Alright Fans sit down to take stock of the season so far.

This special episode is a no-nonsense Premier League update — who’s flying, who’s falling apart, which narratives are real, and which ones need binning immediately.

From title races and top-four chaos to relegation worries and managers already feeling the heat, nothing is off the table.

It’s the episode you put on to get through a weekend without league football — opinionated, informed, and exactly the kind of chat you’d be having in the pub if there was actually a game on.

No gimmicks. No tournaments. Just football.

The World Cup of Special Days gets underway with Groups A–D, taking a hard (and very unserious) look at the days that pop up every year and somehow manage to take over our lives.

From the pressure of Valentine’s Day and the emotional minefield of Mother’s Day, to the quiet chaos of World Book Day, the madness of Black Friday, and the sugar-fuelled mayhem of Halloween, this episode digs into why these days exist, who they’re really for, and how they somehow became unavoidable.

Along the way we get into the rise of niche calendar moments like National Masturbation Day and Random Acts of Kindness Day — the kind of days you don’t remember until social media aggressively reminds you they’re happening.

Some are commercial, some are heartfelt, some are confusing, and some probably shouldn’t be a thing at all — but every one of them sparks an opinion.
