Goodfellerz

Big one this week - Clarke and Shaun dive into the World Cup, England's chances, the heatwave, grassroots football, and a fair bit of general life catch-up before getting into it. Weekend updates, kids' school summer fairs, and Roman's newfound obsession with dribbling round cones kick things off, before the conversation turns to tournament predictions and some proper World Cup fan cul...

Clarke goes in blind — no names, no order, just a number from 1 to 10 for each player as Shaun reveals them one at a time. This time it's football's greatest ever: Maradona, Kanté, Maldini, Son, George Best, Pirlo, Roberto Carlos, Haaland, Vardy, and a final reveal that completely changes the shape of the list. Some calls age well. Others age like milk. Kanté outranks Maradona early doors,...

Shaun takes the hot seat this time for a blind TV series ranking. No names, no context — just a gut-feel number from 1 to 10 as Clarke reveals each show one at a time. Peaky Blinders, The Inbetweeners, Line of Duty, The Office UK, The Sopranos, The Boys, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Mr Inbetween, and a final mystery show described only by its plot. Breaking Bad lands a 2. Mr Inbetween gets banis...

It's another blind ranking on the Goodfellerz Podcast. Clarke doesn't know the category — he just has to rank 10 answers from 1 to 10 as Shaun feeds them in one at a time. This time it's elite British pub grub: pork pie, loaded nachos, gammon steak, ploughman's lunch, fish and chips, cheesy chips and curry sauce, chicken tikka masala, scampi and chips, steak and ale pie, and the in...

The World Cup's here and the Goodfellerz have thoughts — a lot of them. Clarke and Shaun break down the group stage drama, argue about who's overrated, who's flying under the radar, and which nation's got no business being this good. Expect wild predictions, questionable tactical analysis, and the usual Goodfellerz nonsense along the way. Grab a pint, settle in, and see if we'r...

Clarke and Shaun dive into the one topic that's taken over everything — AI. Is it genuinely making our lives better or are we just outsourcing our brains? From using it daily for work emails and survey reports, to the terrifying stuff (deepfakes, job losses, and robots that might kill you in your sleep) — nothing's off limits. They cover: How they actually use AI day-to-day Smart efficienc...
