  2. Why Everyone Thinks They’re Good at Bowling & Darts Of Destiny Finale Drama! | New Years Eve Special

    12/31/2025

    Why Everyone Thinks They’re Good at Bowling & Darts Of Destiny Finale Drama! | New Years Eve Special

    On this New Year’s special episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris kick back with a relaxed end-of-year pod with listener messages, reflections on a huge year, and absolutely no pressure… until bowling enters the conversation. The lads look back on some unforgettable podcast moments, react to thoughtful listener questions about football pressure, injuries, and dressing room dynamics, and share a genuinely moving message about prostate health awareness. Then, in true Crouchy fashion, things take a sharp turn as a simple listener question sparks a full-blown debate about ten-pin bowling. Is a perfect bowling game harder than a hole-in-one? Why does everyone think they’re better at bowling than they actually are? What’s the most embarrassing thing you can do on a bowling date — and when did bowling shoes quietly disappear forever? It’s light-hearted, nostalgic, unexpectedly philosophical, and the perfect way to see in the New Year with the pod. Happy New Year from the lads — and yes, most of the episode really does end up being about bowling.    00:00 - New Year’s Eve pod begins & relaxed holiday vibes 01:02 - Reflecting on podcast highlights from the year 02:05 - Wild journey home stories & “investment opportunities” tease 03:29 - Listener question: are managers hiding injuries? 04:16 - Emotional prostate health message from a listener 05:27 - Can players really fake injuries?

    “I Thought I’d Go Out First”: Shona McGarty Opens Up About Anxiety, EastEnders Fame & Jungle Truths

    On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are joined by the beautiful EastEnders icon and talented singer Shona McGarty - and nothing is off limits. Shona opens up about life after EastEnders, what it’s really like being known as ‘Whitney’ for over 20 years, and why stepping into the jungle was both terrifying and transformational. She talks candidly about anxiety, imposter syndrome and learning how to cope when fear shows up — as well as losing her dignity, surviving on rice and beans, and why she never wants to see a pretzel again. There’s also plenty of laughter as the gang dive into bonk beats, phone-call rage, and the chaos of modern life. Plus, Shona helps tackle an Agony Ab about being too reliable, sharing why saying no is sometimes the most powerful thing you can do. Honest, hilarious and surprisingly emotional — this is one you don’t want to miss. 00:00 – Kicking off 01:02 – Introducing the pod & today’s guest 02:05 – Compliments, affirmations & relationship banter 04:10 – New Year reflections & turning 40 06:00 – Slowing down, being present & personal goals 07:10 – Weekly whines: technology, logins & QR code rage 09:05 – Paper menus & feeling “too old” 11:15 – Phone call anxiety & unannounced callers 13:20 – Oversharing on speakerphone disasters 14:25 – Bringing Shona McGarty into the studio 15:00 – First impressions & life after I’m A Celeb 16:40 – No makeup TV moments & singing confidence 18:20 – Jungle food, hunger & rice trauma 19:50 – Camp friendships & WhatsApp groups 21:10 – Being known as “Whitney” forever 23:00 – Growing up on EastEnders 25:00 – Long days, waiting around & strict schedules 27:00 – Iconic EastEnders cast moments 29:10 – Singing ambitions & future goals 31:00 – Anxiety, medication & coping mechanisms 33:00 – Caffeine withdrawal & jungle headaches 34:40 – Trials, bugs, cockroaches & survival fears 36:20 – Bonk baits, music choices & bedroom pressure 38:50 – Quotes to live by & winning arguments 41:00 – Jungle toilets, dignity loss & weight loss 43:00 – Highlights of the jungle experience 45:00 – What Shona missed most from home 46:40 – Imposter syndrome & fitting in 48:30 – Watching the show back 50:20 – Agony Ab: being “too reliable” at work 53:10 – Learning to say no & setting boundaries 55:20 – Final thoughts, gratitude & wrap-up 57:10 – End of episode & sign-off Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch  Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/  For more from Peter https://twitter.com/petercrouch For more from Abbey https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancy Our clips channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg #TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast Hosted on Acast.

  4. Jermaine Pennant: Football’s Most MISUNDERSTOOD Player? — ADHD Took Me to a UCL Final

    Jermaine Pennant: Football’s Most MISUNDERSTOOD Player? — ADHD Took Me to a UCL Final

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids and Chris are joined by a former teammate - with spells at Arsenal, Liverpool, Stoke and Portsmouth (as well as being a long-time friend of the pod!) winger Jermaine Pennant for one of the most honest and equally hilarious conversations the pod has ever had. Jermaine opens up about being labelled “wasted talent”, growing up with zero structure, and how a late ADHD diagnosis finally helped him understand the chaos, impulsive decisions and moments that defined his career. From becoming a £2m teenager at Arsenal to playing in a Champions League final with Liverpool, Pennant reflects on the highs, the lows, and the managers who either got the best out of him — or completely missed the mark. The lads also dig into dressing-room dynamics, the importance of man-management, why Steve Bruce got it right, why Rafa Benítez didn’t, and how football ultimately became Jermaine’s escape from childhood trauma. There are laugh-out-loud stories (including one unforgettable pair of Liverpool boots), emotional moments, and a powerful reminder that success isn’t always as simple as trophies and appearances. Plus, we’ve got darts chaos, Christmas plans, league twists and classic Crouchy tangents. As always — get involved in the comments. 🎯⚽ Chumbawamba  00:00 – Welcome back & Sids’ birthday chaos 02:45 – Four-day celebrations and golf madness 05:12 – Christmas elves, parenting panic & festive pressure 08:01 – Lingerie shopping: why men shouldn’t attempt it 11:04 – Premier League predictions fallout 13:18 – Sunderland sh*thousery & relegation worries 15:42 – Christmas football, darts & festive fancy dress fears 18:28 – Darts of Destiny explained 20:41 – Jermaine Pennant joins the podcast 22:06 – Life after football & media work 24:38 – Pennant opens up on ADHD diagnosis 27:12 – Understanding past mistakes through ADHD 29:44 – Football as an escape from childhood trauma 32:18 – Signing for Arsenal at 15 with zero structure 35:01 – Unreal talent in the Arsenal youth setup 38:22 – Why Pennant thrived when he was playing 41:04 – Steve Bruce vs Rafa Benítez: man-management clash 44:06 – Liverpool dressing room stories & boot chaos 47:12 – Champions League final regrets 50:01 – Turning down Everton to chase Liverpool dream 53:18 – Birmingham relegation & waiting for the big move 56:02 – Why first spells at clubs were always the best 59:14 – What managers misunderstood about Pennant 1:03:22 – Redefining success, legacy & self-acceptance 1:07:48 – Jermaine Pennant wraps up & farewells 1:09:30 – Darts of Destiny challenge begins 1:11:52 – Chris’ pressure & final darts reactions Follow 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_Stark Instagram - 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.

    That Christmas Nativity Special: Donkeys, Darts & Angel Di Maria

    On this week’s Christmas special of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris fully embrace the festive spirit — with a twist only football could provide. Forget the traditional nativity, because the lads bring you a football-themed retelling of the Christmas story, featuring familiar faces like Mary Earps, Angel Di Maria, Dean Windass, Peter Schmeichel, and a baby Gabriel Jesus born not in Bethlehem… but firmly in football folklore. With festive jumpers on, beers flowing, and absolutely no attempt to take things seriously, Crouchy leads the lads through a chaotic, laugh-out-loud Christmas tale that somehow manages to celebrate football heritage and the true meaning of Christmas all at once. There’s donkey impressions, questionable accents, proud dad moments, and just enough sentimentality to remind everyone what the season is all about. To round things off, the Darts of Destiny makes its Christmas return, with league points, pressure throws, and big regrets on the line — all in support of a brilliant cause. Merry Christmas from all of us at That Peter Crouch Podcast 🎄⚽ Chumbawamba  00:00 - Festive jumpers, beers & Christmas vibes 01:29 - Christmas Eve traditions & pub confessions 02:50 - “The true meaning of Christmas” football-style 03:32 - Introducing the football Nativity story 03:45 - The Nativity begins: Mary Earps & Joseph Cole 04:15 - Angel Di Maria delivers the big news 05:03 - King Ledley’s decree & the journey begins 05:42 - Dean Windass enters as the donkey 06:33 - No room at the inn… Manuel Neuer says no 07:10 - Peter Schmeichel offers the stable 07:56 - Gabriel Jesus is born in the Nicky Banger 08:35 - Shepherds receive the heavenly announcement 09:17 - The Three Kings arrive with gifts 09:47 - “What Christmas is all about” 10:26 - Proud dad energy & jumper appreciation 12:44 - Darts of Destiny returns Follow 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_Stark Instagram - 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.

    Joe Hart: “Pep Told Me I Was Done” - Training Session Wind Ups, City’s Takeover & Celtic Redemption

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads sit down with Premier League and England goalkeeping legend Joe Hart for an unbelievably honest, funny and revealing chat about the wildest moments of his career. From the chaotic early days at Manchester City and their takeover era, to the surreal Aguero title-winner scenes, Joe takes us inside the dressing room, the pressure, and the mentality of surviving as a top-level No.1. He opens up on the brutal moment Pep Guardiola told him he wasn’t part of the new City vision, the emotional rollercoaster of being England’s first-choice keeper, and the madness of shooting sessions with Beckham, Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard and Crouchy himself. The lads also go deep on team culture, loans, being replaced, punditry life, and even why goalkeepers should be allowed to wear hats again. And of course, there are stories from the 2010 World Cup dartboard battles, arguments with Declan Rice, and Joe’s new extreme-challenge podcast. Let us know in the comments — what would YOU have done in Joe’s position when Pep arrived?

    Miles Kane’s Crazy Day With Baggio, Untold Arctic Monkeys Backstage Stories & 2000’s Nostalgia

    This week on That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are joined by musician, Liverpool fan and long-time friend of the pod Miles Kane for an episode full of nostalgia, chaos and unbelievable storytelling. From the early days knocking about in Belsize Park to creating his brand-new album Sunlight in the Shadows with Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys, Miles lifts the lid on the madness, the music and the moments that shaped him. We get into FIFA soundtracks, Sky Sports montages and why football and music share the same obsessive mindset. Miles also tells the incredible story of how his childhood hero Roberto Baggio inspired one of his most emotional tracks — and how that song led him all the way to Baggio’s house in Italy for one of the most surreal lunches of his life. There’s backstage mayhem with Arctic Monkeys, broken ribs in five-a-side, fashion eras gone wrong, and a whole lot of love for the city of Liverpool. It’s a proper journey through the highs, the lessons and the moments that stay with you forever.

    Tony Pulis & Mick McCarthy: “The Game’s Gone” — Old School Gaffers vs The Modern Game

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Steve are joined by two of football’s most iconic gaffers — Tony Pulis and Mick McCarthy.  Between them, they’ve seen it all: Premier League survival battles, international tournaments, and the changing face of English football. The lads dig deep into what it really means to be a manager — from adapting your tactics to your players, to dealing with the press, to that gut-wrenching moment when you know “the game’s gone.” Tony opens up about his no-nonsense days at Stoke, why long grass was a tactical weapon, and the dark art of winning ugly. Mick recalls his highs with Ireland, his time at Wolves, and the unforgettable press conference moment that went viral for all the wrong reasons. Together, they share hilarious behind-the-scenes stories, harsh truths about modern football, and surprisingly tender reflections on what they miss — and don’t miss — about life in the dugout. It’s a masterclass in management, packed with wisdom, wit, and a few classic gaffer blow-ups. Strap in for old-school honesty and some brilliant football nostalgia — and let us know in the comments… has the game really gone?

    “I’ll Be Taking It Straight Back!” - When Gift Effort Isn’t Matched at Christmas & Work Party Drama!

    On today’s festive episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are fully embracing the chaos as Christmas Eve quickly approaches.  With Santa hats on and patience running low, the pair dive headfirst into the realities of family life at the most wonderful (and stressful) time of year. From mismatched gift expectations and Secret Santa dramas to the unseen mental load that comes with organising Christmas, nothing is off-limits. The episode is packed with classic Crouchy banter, including a Christmas bike purchase that didn’t quite go to plan, debates over midweek work parties, and why men somehow always miss the brief when it comes to presents. In the Agony Abs, listeners write in with festive dilemmas ranging from clashing family traditions to the disappointment of unbalanced effort under the tree. There’s laughter, a few emotional moments, and plenty of honest reflection on what Christmas is really about — slowing down, being together, and surviving the madness as a family.  A proper festive Therapy Crouch, just in time for the big day. 00:00 - Chaotic Christmas energy and opening jokes 00:49 - Father Christmas enters the chat 01:33 - When your partner hates your jokes 02:14 - Christmas presents and control arguments 02:43 - Brutal “you’re middle-aged now” voice note 04:49 - Abbey vs Peter: who actually does everything? 06:15 - Mental load of Christmas and invisible labour 09:19 - Bike-gate: the kids’ disastrous Christmas bikes 11:20 - Secret Santa spiralling out of control 15:18 - Why midweek Christmas parties are a nightmare 17:04 - Unexpected deep dive into nature documentaries 20:48 - Emotional moment about losing a family pet 22:12 - Why Christmas is about slowing life down 25:29 - Agony Ab: clashing family Christmas traditions 31:17 - Agony Ab: unmatched effort in Christmas gifts 35:03 - What Christmas is really about 35:52 - Final Christmas chaos and sign-off Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch  Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/  For more from Peter https://twitter.com/petercrouch For more from Abbey https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancy Our clips channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg #TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast Hosted on Acast.

    Joe Cole: “We Knew We Were Becoming a Machine” — Chelsea Behind The Scenes & That England Heartbreak

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris and Sids sit down with Joe Cole, former England international, Premier League winner and Champions League finalist, to dive into the untold stories behind his new book Luxury Player. The lads get stuck into Joe’s early rise as a teenage sensation, the madness of being splashed across the papers at 15, and how fame shaped him long before he stepped onto a Premier League pitch. Joe opens up about the pressure, the jealousy, the misconceptions, and how he found his way through it. The conversation also takes us inside Chelsea during the Mourinho revolution — the moment Joe realised everything had changed, what training was really like under Jose, and how that era set the foundations for years of dominance. There’s plenty of England nostalgia too: World Cups, quarter-finals, dressing room pranks, and the gut-punch reality of injuries cutting short international dreams. It’s honest, funny, nostalgic and full of elite-level insight — a proper football chat with one of the game’s most naturally gifted players. And yes, there’s tales wine-tasting chaos, mascot scandals, and insight into a black cab driver giving massages at Chelsea… Strap in.

    Abbey’s WILD Night Out: Wreath Making Turned Into Total Carnage & Pete’s Hilarious Reaction!

    On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter catch up after what can only be described as one of Abbey’s most chaotic nights out to date. What began as a wholesome wreath-making afternoon quickly spiralled into margaritas on empty stomachs, vomiting on the motorway, missed shopping trips and a Christmas wreath riding shotgun in a car full of regret. Peter shares festive family highlights from the Jingle Bell Ball, including kids desperate for screen time, a painfully awkward Ed Sheeran TikTok moment and Abbey discovering Peter modelling a velvet suit… in the women’s section.  There’s diary drama, Christmas planning chaos, Boxing Day cinema arguments and Peter accidentally attending a maths open day instead of seeing the boys. In listener messages, we hear everything from wedding day disasters and unforgettable anniversaries to Elf on the Shelf horror stories that absolutely cross the line. There’s dating dilemmas, reflections on getting older, turning 40, and why margaritas simply cannot be trusted.

    Evolution of Football: Long Throws, Pep Ball & Has Data Officially DESTROYED the Game?

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids take a hilariously chaotic deep dive into how football has evolved — from Sunday League chaos to Pep-inspired tactical revolutions. The lads debate how analytics, player freedom, and “DNA” have changed the game forever, reminiscing about the days when defenders could “absolutely destroy” someone without a hundred cameras watching. Expect sidetracks galore — from Center Parcs chaos, dodgy camera angles, and “missionary” score predictions to the invention of Crouchy’s Skill of the Week. There’s also a serious football chat about how big clubs influence playing styles, why corners are “ruined forever,” and how long throws are making a comeback.

A lifelong Manchester United fan, Oldman opens up about his first experiences watching football in the 1960s, his friendship with Sir Alex Ferguson, and why he misses the old-school loyalty of players who stayed at clubs for decades. He also dives deep into the craft of acting – from the grueling physical toll of roles like Churchill, to getting nicotine poisoning while filming, to his pride in movies like JFK. Along the way, Gary shares stories about recent knighthood, Oscar night nerves, fart gags on Slow Horses, and his admiration for George Best.

    “Rooney Threw His Drink On Me!” - Abbey’s Hilarious Childhood Story & Liverpool Dressing Room Tales

    On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, chaos is very much the theme as Abbey and Pete dive straight into tash turmoil, surprise mood swings and a Fashion Awards night that left Abbey fuming in her fleece at home. We get a full breakdown of Pete’s accidental “golf-club-after-party” at their house, while Abbey confesses to the most unhinged hangover day of her life—complete with a Chinese and a Big Mac. The pair also open up about a genuinely frightening night when their tiny puppy had to be rushed to an emergency vet, before lightening the mood with the funniest listener messages about accents, school slang and childhood run-ins—including Abbey being hit in the head with a Coke can by a young Wayne Rooney. Names turn into a battlefield this week too, as a listener’s football-inspired baby dilemma sends Abbey and Pete spiralling into their own stories about Jack’s almost-name, why Rafa was banned, and Abbey’s unexpected crush on Phil Foden’s footwork. In the Agony Abs, things get more emotional as they tackle trauma-based parental anxiety, hidden dating history, and the disastrous consequences of snooping through your partner’s phone.
