Summary

 On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris dive headfirst into one of the wildest Listener Mail episodes yet — and absolutely nothing is off limits. From pink eye, polyps and footballers wearing makeup on live TV… to whether finishing SECOND deserves an open-top bus parade, the lads somehow manage to cover it all.There’s chaos as the boys debate if modern football has officially gone soft, including refs with trendy haircuts, xG nerds, shirt-off celebrations, and whether heading could eventually disappear from the game entirely. Plus, a listener’s all-time “Games Gone” rant sparks one of the funniest football debates they’ve had in ages.Elsewhere, Pete reveals his secret childhood career working in his grandad’s butcher shop, the Wealdstone Raider officially dumps Chris for Crouchy, and there’s an unbelievable story involving someone legally named after the entire 1979 Liverpool team.The lads also react to bizarre old-school footballer tweets, discuss marathon punishments for the Football League, rank Aussie icons in a “Down Under Vanarama,” and preview the FA Cup Final with the help of Chris’ wife Ria — who might actually be better at predictions than all three of them combined.It’s listener mail at its absolute finest: ridiculous football chat, nostalgia, complete nonsense, and plenty of classic pod chaos.Chumbawamba00:00 - Intro, makeup chat & Chris’ pink eye reveal03:15 - Polyps, bllocks & why the lads do this to themselves04:27 - Fans listening to the pod on the London Underground05:12 - Shin pad injury update & the listener who got slashed06:02 - Does SECOND place deserve an open-top bus parade?07:18 - Playoff winners vs automatic promotion debate08:50 - The Wealdstone Raider officially dumps Chris10:22 - Will the Wealdstone Raider come on the podcast?11:45 - Sponsored Segment with England15:52 - Download the England app!19:01 - Listener Mail officially begins19:21 - The unbelievable football shirt sent from Vanuatu20:48 - The lads decide to give the shirt away21:24 - Aussie caravans & the “Down Under Vanarama”25:31 - Steve Irwin, Alf Stewart & Toadfish in a Vanarama26:51 - Sids loses it at “Beanpole, Fire Pbes and One Ball”27:18 - Serious chat about checking yourself & men’s health29:31 - A listener legally named after Liverpool’s 1979 team30:43 - Charlie Otway’s insane full name explained31:58 - Marathon punishment ideas for the Football League34:58 - The funniest accidental footballer tweets ever36:44 - “Games Gone” mega-rant begins37:11 - Referees with trendy haircuts debate37:29 - xG, “big chances” & football nerd culture38:19 - Shirt-off celebrations & VAR frustrations39:00 - Why clubs keep buying young foreign players39:20 - Is football removing physical contact from the game?40:23 - Players showing personality vs media backlash42:49 - Football League table update & Ria’s prediction success45:24 - FA Cup Final preview: Chelsea vs Manchester City47:42 - Paddy Power’s Minister of Mischief returns49:32 - Has Chris replaced the listeners with his wife?50:53 - Ria gives her FA Cup predictions52:28 - The lads react to Ria outperforming them54:30 - Why the FA Cup Final morning feels special57:00 - Predictions: Man United vs Forest & Newcastle vs West Ham58:37 - Paddy’s Boost selections01:01:18 - OutroThe Official England squad drops May 22nd on the England App first - if you want to see who is making Tuchel’s squad download the app here :https://england.onelink.me/rgxW/lbj1at4bAnd if you want to be in with a chance of winning an official signed England shirt - submit your selects in the Squad Selector by May 21st . #adFor 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 Hosted on Acast.
