NEW: That Peter Crouch Podcast

World Cup Pod: Episode 8

Crouchy is on holiday but is determined to deliver the podcast and Abbey gives another contribution, this time discussing who will win the golden boot. Chris asks whether the next England manager has to be English and Dave looks at the achievements that Lionel Messi with Argentina and Didier Deschamps with France could earn if they were to lift the trophy. Plus we look at ways to evolve the third place play-of which is surely football's most unnecessary match.

    36:53
    On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Peter is in high spirits after a successful weekend has propelled him to the top of the table! However, with only one point separating first and last place and Paddy Power looking to spice up the forfeit, it is getting as tense as the Premier League title race. And the lads’ football focus isn’t just on players this week, they also dedicate some time to the recent sh*thousery that was poor Peter’s positioning at a recent TNT game. Looking ahead to this weekend’s coming games, the lads are giving their predictions for Wolves v Arsenal, Palace v West Ham and Villa v Bournemouth. Let us know your predictions in the comments! As is fast becoming a tradition on this pod, we also hear from the lovely Susie Dents who addresses a fan question from last week as well as providing a dictionary definition on one of the lads favourite football terms. Chumbawamba!00:30 Intro03:14 Competitive Couples07:37 Lovely, Late Goals13:22 TNT Housery15:41 Predictions24:55 I’m a Celeb30:00 The Lovely, Susie DentSubscribe to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFULBvlxNWW8cWsrV6fGrcwFollow our Clips page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLNBLB3xr3LyiyAkhZEtiAA For more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast

    01:03:54
    On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, a very well fed Crouchy, Chris and Sids are joined briefly by the one and only Tony of Tony’s Pie & Mash who is on hand to get the boys game ready ahead of the record. Peter, fresh off the back of a gruelling training session down at Brentford’s training ground is contemplating dusting his shin pads off and getting back in the game full time…..once the back spasms subside. Today, the lads are discussing football journalism and their relationship with the media during their playing days. Steve Snitchwell reveals how dressing rooms can become very dark places when managers no longer feel they can trust their places to treat the dressing room as sacred and the repercussions this can have on the wider team. The lads also dig deep on other famous instances of footballer’s relationships with the media including ‘The Secret footballer’ the identity of whom was once rumoured to be none other than our very own ginger Iniesta. And, to sum it all up, the lads play a very amusing edition of snog, marry, avoid featuring some of Peter’s former favourites…Chumbawamba00:24 Intro05:03 Tony’s Pie and Mash x West Ham09:33 Every Little Helps10:09 Crouchy’s Comeback17:35 Football Journalists28:40 Steve Snitchwell39:13 Anon43:35 The Headliner01:01:00 Memory Lane01:02:24 Listener Messages01:03:48 Cap On, Cap Off01:04:30 Snog, Marry, AvoidSubscribe to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFULBvlxNWW8cWsrV6fGrcwFor more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14

    35:32
    On today’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete is coming in live and direct from Dubai where he has been sunning himself for the past couple of weeks. In Pete’s absence, Chris and Sid’s have been trawling the emails for some of their favourite messages from you guys throughout the season that we haven’t been able to feature so far! We lift the lid on some of the harsher initiations that he had to go through, as well as some of the more heartwarming moments that helped team bonding. We also hear about Abdul, a legendary coach driver who risked it all to make sure one of our listeners was able to make it down to Wembley, which prompts Pete to tell a hilarious anecdote from the time he shared a cab with the legend that is Vinnie Jones.And in a shocking turn of events, Mr #BBQc himself relives the time his life was almost tragically cut short in what would have been the most ironic way for him to shift off this mortal coil. Enjoy this special messages episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast!00:27 Intro06:36 Legendary Coach Drivers10:05 Home and Away17:48 David Ginola Taught Me How to Kiss22:30 Pro v Pundit26:21 Haters gonna hateSubscribe to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFULBvlxNWW8cWsrV6fGrcwFollow our Clips page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLNBLB3xr3LyiyAkhZEtiAA For more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14 #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast

  • ‘He Was Probably The Best Flicker I’ve Seen’ Crouchy Exposes BIZARRE Gym Rituals

    55:30
    On today’s Episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are lifting the lid on exactly what happens in the gym at a Premier League Club. We hear about the players that like to avoid the gym at all costs yet seem to maintain a god like physique all year round as well as others who are more concerned with making your ears bleed than achieving a PB on bench press. Crouchy also talks about how there is now more emphasis not just on staying physically fit but mentally fit in today’s game compared to when him and Steve where still in the dressing room. Chris, who is currently on his own fitness and well being journey also talks about how getting down the gym is changing his outlook on life. In other business, the lads have a very informative message from Countryfile’s very own Adam Henson who explains why Anderson had exactly the right idea when putting his money into cattle and the lads answer your burning question on which football ground provides the best food when the lads are on comms…Chumbawamba00:00 Intro05:38 Adam Henson08:20 Evolution of Gym Culture in Football16:18 Man Mana-gymt20:32 Gym Flicks 25:21 Mental Fitness31:07 ‘He is a freak’41:23 Lost in Translation44:33 Goalie Hat50:32 Tony’s Pie and MashSubscribe to https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFULBvlxNWW8cWsrV6fGrcwFollow our Clips page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLNBLB3xr3LyiyAkhZEtiAA For more Peter Crouch: Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch For more Chris Stark Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve Sidwell Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14
