0:30Oh, best goal celebration. I mean, obviously, we'll discount the robot here. Yeah, no, that's obviously the best. I'm just getting that mad man from Newcastle. It's like kicking the... Taroui Kitspire. For some reason, that's what's come to my head of all the celebrations out there. I've got Jimmy Bullard in my head telling off the players like Phil Brown did. We've talked about this question before that Joel raised to me. The best sip of a cold pint. We've talked about this before, haven't we? What, like where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Or beach Is it on a train I mean you can go so specific Match Mine would probably be golf That first one That first one after golf Yeah It's a special one On a summer's day I think my favourite one is Lads holidays When you meet at the airport That beer there Especially if As long as you're not the first It's when your mates are there And you get that beer That's lovely What about One of them as well Was it The Indian order I think you tell a lot about a man with his Indian order.

1:33Really? What are you going for? Well, what do you think I am? Don't go for a cheap laugh. I'm not going for a cheap laugh. No, I think you're mildish. I think you're like a biryani. You see, I thought... I kind of think I know you quite well. I think what you wanted to say was like, you know I'm not going to be Korma. No. Right, but I'm not going to be far off it. so Pasanda or something like that which is the fancy man's korma like still mild as isn't it no I might surprise you I'm Lambuna are you Lambuna, pilau rice peshwari naan I'll only ever have the mango chutney on the poppadoms I never mess around with the other stuff oh really and the fruit or whatever it is the veg veg and fruit not the pickles I remember making my son I've had to try that in the restaurant once didn't end well no didn't end well do SIDS what are you going for depends on the mood I mean really nine times out of ten I'd have a chicken tikka masala but if I feel feel like going for it I'll have a chicken naga hot really that's hot you strike me as a man whose face would go a bit red with that what do they call it like the Rosie's show or something what the fuck yeah listen and everything goes red after that.

3:29Hello and welcome to And The Award Goes To, brought to you by Argos. It's the podcast slash award show where each week a guest drops by to hand out five fresh awards across five categories tailored to their passions or expertise. It could be the best breed of dog, the ideal way to spend a Sunday, or the best film of the 80s. Whatever the topic, they get to be the one person voting body selecting their winner of choice. And this week for our debut episode, we had a true A-list guest on the show. Britain's humblest footballer and favourite podcaster. It's only Peter Blumen Crouch. So sit back everybody and enjoy the Peter Crouch Award Show, which we'll maybe call the Crouchies.

4:17where Pete selects five winners across five absurd award categories we've made just for him. And hey, if you want to see how it all unfolded, do give us a follow on YouTube. Enjoy the show, guys. Welcome, Peter Crouch. It's an absolute pleasure. Thanks for having me. Yeah, yeah. I feel like I should have got dressed up a little bit now. Well, don't you feel weird about it? You've got a full tuxedo on. I've got a full tuxedo. I've mainly done it to make every single guest feel awkward. Okay, yeah, you've done it. Yep, yeah. I actually wear this to bed. This is my pyjamas. You're all in a suit. Yeah, I genuinely think, Peter, I...

4:57Can I call you Peter? Yeah, yeah, I'm going to allow it. I genuinely think I'm the person who wears a tuxedo the most in the UK. Yeah, I would agree with that. I've just done all the shows that I do, award shows, corporate... Anyway, anyway, Peter, I'm going to explain to you the format of this wonderful thing that I've invited you to in your jogging bottoms. I feel really underdressed. I didn't know it was a full awards evening. Well, you know, it's okay. I'm trying to make it as casual as possible for you because I just want you to be comfortable, you know. It's okay. Don't worry. You're Peter Crouch.

5:30You can do whatever you want. I appreciate that. You can do whatever you want. What's going to happen is think of this as your own personal awards show where you get to dish out the awards in categories that are made specially for you. And as you know, we'll send you these way in advance. So tonight, we get to find out exactly who those winners are. Each of your chosen winners will earn a wonderful spot on this incredible wall of fame, Pete. Which, in case it wasn't obvious, is this massive red wall behind us. I'm expecting you to put your winners quite high. Okay. On the wall. I can do that. Quite high.

6:11I sort of want it to be the sort of thing where you put your winners on the wall and then our next guest will come in and be like, did you have Peter Crouch on? Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm thinking. So before we get into the awards, Pete, let's talk a bit about your history with award shows just in general. How do you feel about going to award shows? I know you've been to obviously the Brit Awards. There's football award shows that you've probably been to. Do you feel uncomfortable unlike in those scenarios, like red carpets? How do you feel on red carpets? I'm not really a fan of a red carpet as such.

6:46I like, you know, awards evenings where I've won. They're my favourite. If I go to an awards evening, obviously, and I haven't won, then it's quite boring. Yeah. It's quite difficult because they can't tell you beforehand whether you're going to win on one. No, yeah. And you were the winner at Stoke City's 2012 awards dinner, picking up player of the season and goal of the season. Yeah. How did that feel? Yeah, lots of things happened to me at Stoke. It was nice because I managed to get 100 Premier League goals there. The goal of the season was probably the best goal I've ever scored. And yeah, player of the year is always nice because that's usually voted for by the fans.

7:27So yeah, that was certainly a good year, that one. See, this is what I love. Can I consider you a friend? Yes, we are very good friends. I don't know loads about football, but I know you. I know Jamie Redknapp. So I just know you as people. And it always amazes me when I talk to you how unbelievably good you are. Thank you. I like this award show. This is a nice one. No, like, yeah, I don't know how to answer that really, but I appreciate it. Thank you. You're great as well. Thanks, man. That's what I was looking for. Have you had any sort of weird sort of moments at any award shows? Have you been to like any ones like where you're like, oh, this is odd?

8:16Odd, I don't know. I think one of the most kind of prestigious, I remember going down with Steven Gerrard to receive his PFA Player of the Year Award, which is obviously I've watched that show for years and years and years, never been to it, even though I was a footballer. But when Stevie won it, I went down with him and just to be kind of next to the person that is about to go on stage. But for me, that's the pinnacle, right? It's the best player in the Premier League of that season. So to see, to sit there and kind of, you know, it wasn't me, unfortunately, but it was Steve and Gerrard. It was an amazing experience to actually see that kind of all unfold.

8:56You know, like things like, I don't know why, like I don't cry at anything. Like Ab says I've got like a heart of stone, right? I just don't show much emotion. But bizarrely, when people do well and things are going well for them, I get kind of choked up. I don't know what that is, but it's like even down to the X factor. When I see them go through and I think, and they're so happy and I think, and I end up getting a tear in my eye. There was a magician on Britain's Got Talent, right? And Ab came in and she said, are you crying? and I said I was like I am yeah I actually am he made it disappear and then it came back it was a little kid he was amazing and like and then we're in the whole crowd and it's the music the whole thing gets me going but I don't cry anything else well should we get into it Pete yes each of your chosen winners will earn a spot on this wall of fame Pete yes never in the history of podcasts has a wall got a clap.

10:01But it has today. Pete, it's time to get into your awards. Your first category is the best goal celebration of all time. You, Pete, are a perfect judge for this, obviously. Legendary goal celebration that we all know and love. Tell us about, first of all, I'm sure you've told this story a lot, but I'd love to hear it again. the story behind the robot celebration? Yeah, I mean, it's a long story. David Beckham had a party at his house before the World Cup, pre-World Cup 2006 and it was being filmed by ITV and, you know, parties are, it seems to be at his house. And we, basically, I remember having a couple of drinks and going to the toilet and I said, I'll watch this and I'll do something stupid on the way there.

11:01And as I walked past, I just did the robot on the dance floor and a couple of lads were laughing, that was it. And as I turned around, there was a camera right in my face, went, oh, and I kind of carried it on and then went to the toilet. Anyway, the next day, the show was on. It had been edited, whatever, and then everyone just called me and said, what was that you did on the dance floor? And I said, believe it or not, that is the robot. and I have to say I didn't invent a robot but um I did I did it it got a laugh and then we had a game in a couple of days time and I said if I score I'll I'll do it because all the lads seem to enjoy it and um and I thought I won't get on I was on the bench and uh and then I did and then you know scored and then it just I did it it just came to me straight away let's do that and people just went nuts I mean listen now people now it's 20 years I think 2005 I did it that's mad 20 years ago people were still asking me about it you know it always made me really so we did a show together we did the Masked Dancer together there's only one reason I was on that show you're like this guy's a professional footballer and he did he did a celebration where he danced once and now he's a judge on a dance show the judge yeah genuinely like we had ot in the booze here yeah and uh she's danced her entire life and um and and i have the same kind of i'm sitting next to her judging people for dancing like it was an absolute it made me laugh so much good fun it's good it was great it was great like how did this is what blows my mind it's like you score a goal right and it's like there's 80 ,000 people going mad uh stoke probably 30 whatever and um like there's like everyone's going crazy and like you've just scored you're like oh my god how in that moment do you think like oh i'm gonna do i've got to do that celebration i've thought about yeah because that one that like the england one was a bit mad because i it was so um you know i hadn't scored many for england you know so yeah so even think it's quite often you lose your mind completely and you do and you look back at it and you think oh like i wish i'd been cooler there in that moment but I just kind of lose the plot um but yeah for that that it's just literally right at the end after I'd run away from scoring I just went oh I've got to do that thing and then you know 20 years later I'm still talking about I mean the next day I remember seeing a pullout in the times and it was like a whole like guide of how to do it and then there was like I was watching the tv in my room it was like CNN had gone flown people to New York and they had body poppers and they were showing me where I was going wrong.

13:43Sky News, everywhere, every news outlet was talking about this thing. It was like, oh my God, this is gone nuts. But I think that's the thing with celebrations. They can resonate with people. The Cristiano Ronaldo one, all the kids are doing it. My little boy is six and he'll score a goal and he'll do the Mbappe or Haaland. or any footballer, Mo Salah, any footballer he sees now, they just love the celebration. I think certainly when you're a kid, something just switches in your brain that you just want to recreate it. Yeah. Now there's some managers starting to ban them. There was a specific one, I think it was Harry Redknapp, banned someone's backflip because it was posing as an injury risk.

14:32And do you think that's something that they should do? like again I think I do think the same like when someone does the back row I'm like watch those knees man I do think that like I think you know the knee slide is something that I I could never do like Thierry Henry used to do the knee slide and look so cool doing it he used to have like a little bit of drift on the knees and it just looked cool Thierry on knees yeah Thierry on knees yeah he was brilliant that was good thank you mate he was good at that but the one you said about Harry Redknapp there I remember that was Alua Alua and he was a gymnast before he was a footballer and his was unbelievable.

15:11He'd run, it was a consistent flip and then it was like a series of flips and then another double flip at the end. It was unbelievable. But he did get injured doing it. He did his hamstring and he was out for like four weeks and that was when Harry said, I think it's time for you to just put your arm in the air. Just put your arm in the air. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. OK, let's have a look at who the winner is of the best goal celebration of all time. Drum roll, please. And the award goes to Roger Miller's Cameroon 1990 World Cup jig, ladies and gentlemen. Do you like that? Yeah, I do. I absolutely love it.

15:56I mean, listen, there's so many celebrations out there, But for me, I was nine years old when he did this. And it's a bit like the X Factor kind of thing I was talking about before. You know when there's a whole backstory behind it and he was 38, I think, 39. He came back for this World Cup for Cameroon. Cameroon did so well. No one expected him to do well. He scored like a load of goals. And they used to bring him on at half time because he was too old. and then for him to then score and then he used to do this little jig in the corner flag and I was nine years old, I'd never seen anything like it before.

16:36Was that one of the I don't know, sort of the history of football but I feel like that was must have been one of the first times that was that sort of celebration Yeah, I think obviously celebrations have evolved over the years back in the day it was a stern handshake Yeah. You might get a little fist pump. Yeah. And, you know, well done. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then obviously being nine years old and seeing, you know, the 1990 World Cup, which completely mesmerised me anyway. It was in Italy. It was just, I'd never seen football like it in my life. Just even the places and, you know, there was football that was played in sunshine.

17:19Yeah. Even that, you know, I'm used to it raining quite heavily. and then Cameroon were a totally unfancyed team Roger Miller was 38, 39 years old and he used to come on at half time because he was a part time footballer and then to come on and score and do that little jig and he did it three or four times and I was just mesmerised by it and that's something that really kind of stuck with me for life and obviously in my household that was the first time I'd ever seen any rhythm so it was nice to see you know what pia can you please pop that celebration on the incredible wall of winners please you did want it high right nice and high please pete give him a round of applause thank you pete oh that it doesn't get higher than that it good luck trying to get that one down absolutely fantastic are you ready for your second award yes the best first sip of a crisp pint did you like how I rolled that I did, I loved it spoke from a true non-pint drinker can you tell can you tell what was I giving off I kind of just got that feeling because no one's ever gone into a pub and be like I'll have one of your finest crisp pints please I can't say I've ever done that obviously I was a highly tuned athlete So I didn't do it so much during my time playing, but I did enjoy them.

18:54Actually, one of my favourite pints would be after a game. Oh, yeah. How much are you allowed to celebrate before the next five? Yeah, see, if we played Saturday to Saturday, I would allow myself a couple of drinks on a Saturday, potentially a Sunday as well. But that first pint after a game, quite often I'd go off and see my mum and dad or family up in upstairs. And that kind of first pint there was always nice. Like it feels like it's something really deserved. Yeah, that's exactly right. I don't really drink, especially don't drink beer. But I understand the first sip of beer because I like the first sip.

19:35It's just I think the rest of it's rubbish. Yeah. Well, you know, the next day is rubbish. Yes. I would suggest. I actually seem to enjoy it more than one sip. Like I... But there's lots of other, I mean, you know, the first one kind of, like you say, when you've achieved something, that's always good, like winning a match, having that first, it's like a celebration point. Yeah. But we celebrate in all forms. There's like lots of ways to celebrate. Like, you know, even just meeting up with your friends is a celebration, like especially now, we've all got kids and family. Yeah. You know that first pint with your with your mates with no kind of ties is a lovely pint that one Yeah, the train pint the airport pint.

20:19There's the holiday pint There is the festival pint Yeah, there's expensive festival. Yeah, there's gig pints. There's There's plenty of of pints that are magical This is the difference between me and you Pete is like you would enjoy a festival pint and I'd more likely be the guy going around the festival collecting the plastic cups to get one pound. Right, okay, right. Okay, the best first sip of a crisp pint and the award goes to... Drum roll, please. The first sip of a pint on a holiday with no kids. Give them a round of applause. First of all, do you like that little cartoon? I really do, yeah.

21:08I've got a shirt like that. Yeah, that's you on a holiday having an absolutely wonderful time. Describe this for us. Yeah, obviously the no kids element is crucial because if I arrive on holiday with the kids, there's a hell of a lot to do, first and foremost. I'll probably be in the pool. I won't be enjoying it, really. As much as I love them, it's not first part of territory. But yeah, that one where you just realised where you've touched down, you've kind of gone through all the hassle of like the bags and checking in and it's a bit of a ball ache. And then you kind of, you might have a shower or get changed and head down to poolside or the beach or wherever you want to go.

21:51And then that first kind of sip where you go and you kind of go and you take a breath, that one. Yeah. And I think there's lots of amazing times where you can have a pint, which I've mentioned and I love them but this particular one I think you know even if it's like for two three days you think we have no issues here zero responsibilities that little sip is like do you know what that could last that we could do we could go for 10 hours but or we could just have a couple and go to bed it's just whatever we want to do we can do it and I think that is what's so special about the first sip on holiday with no children was absolutely that was like a novel.

22:32Was it really? It was so beautiful. Thank you. Peter, please put your winner up on the wall of fame. Best first sip of a crisp pint. It's on holiday without any kids. Beautifully done, Pete. Yes, thank you. Thank you very much. And now, a quick break with thanks to the brand behind it all, Argos, and their much-loved A-List. The A-List is an exclusive curated collection of the hottest trending products from the most desirable brands. The true icons of tech, electricals, gaming and more. All of which Argos are thrilled to give the star treatment they deserve. They have a whole heap of products which deserve a standing ovation from the likes of Ninja, Nintendo and Samsung.

23:19So if you're fancy browsing a lineup of seriously iconic finds, check out the A-list via the Argos app. Subject to availability in selected stores and argos.co.uk. Okay, welcome back to the show, everybody. For our next award, we have something very, very special. This is the A-List Award. What sets it apart, I hear you ask. Well, the nominees are all handpicked from Argus' A-List, the place to find premium brands and must-have products. The category is the item that would have been most popular on the team bus. And you have three nominees pulled straight from the A list. We have, here we go, first up, the Ninja Creamy Deluxe.

24:07Give them a round of applause. An ice cream maker that turns almost anything into ice cream or frozen yogurt. I like their inclusion of the word almost anything. Because I don't think it turns anything into ice cream, guys. Okay, second nominee is... It's quite far away, this one. Soz, guys.

24:32Oh, I bet you're getting your close-up. A Nintendo Switch 2 with Mario Kart World. Where players can race on either the 1080p screen or easily connect to a TV. And the third nominee is... the Samsung S25 Edge. Give a round of applause. What an A-list. What an incredible A-list. The Samsung S25 Edge with its AI-powered software and ultra-thin titanium design. Ultra-thin, just like Peter Crouch. Not titanium, though. Not titanium, though. Imagine this. You're on a bus trip from Portsmouth to Newcastle. Harry Redknapp offers the lads a selection of items to keep you entertained along the way. which one of these three are you and your teammates choosing between them they all make sense to me the ninja ice cream maker i actually have one of these stop it at home that's how i'm rolling in my kitchen yeah uh so you're making your own ice cream man yeah well i don't the kids love it um but they make me one and it's really nice and um on a on a long trip like that i i don't imagine And Harry Redknapp, as you say, would enjoy us eating ice cream on the way up.

25:50But potentially on the way back, if we'd won, the boys won't be allowed an ice cream or two. Just imagine having ice cream on the way to a match. I know, it'd be slightly... Like, incredible for the first seven minutes, then really went downhill from there on in. The sugar high, really. The phone situation is obviously everyone has one now. You can do everything on it, right? You're speaking of facts. Yeah, I mean, on a long journey like that, like what you're listening to music, you're speaking to people, you're on social media, taking photos, whatever you want to do. Was it different like in your time?

26:22Yeah. Because did people on buses talk? Yeah, we did. We did talk. Which was nice. But I think nowadays... Did you know the players all... Yeah, it's very, I think, you know, it's very much kind of, you know, with the headphones in, it's a little bit different now. But that leads me to the Nintendo Switch. which is probably going to be my winner. An audible gasp from our wonderful audience. How dare you give it away, man. That's my goddamn job. Sorry. No, that's all right. We used to play it a lot, like Mario Kart we used to play. It's the best of both worlds. It's conversational, but it's technology.

27:05So, you know, it's kind of in the middle. You used to play cards, not so much anymore. Now we're playing Mario Kart. You know, like most of us had children and we're acting like 10 year old boys. And I've never had so much fun. Like we'd play it on the plane, on the bus, any little moment where you could get eight people playing Mario Kart together. Yeah. I mean, you wouldn't believe it. Like Bojan, Afolai, Marko Natovic. Bojan was unbelievable. What Bojan couldn't do with a kart isn't worth knowing. It's incredible. A Mario Kart. Okay, Peter Crouch, the item that would have been most popular on the team bus.

27:47And the award goes to... It's the Nintendo Switch 2. Come on! Right. Put it on the wall. Sorry, you're doing a lot of exercise in this podcast. I do apologise. You said about your bad knees and I'm making you get up and down and up and down. Well done. Okay, we're moving on. And your fourth award, Pete, is the Goat Indian Order. Peter, Pete, what's the story with this one, man? You threw me there saying I ordered goat, but I don't. It did sound like that. Yeah, a bit, yeah. It sounded like you were having goat in your Indian curry. Is that not the case? I don't, no. It was more of the greatest of all time in Dion order.

28:29Is that the vibe? Yes. Okay. Yeah, I mean, do you want it? Do you want me to give it to you straight away? Give me some of your nominees, please. My nominees? Give me some of your nominees. Well, I'm pretty old school when it comes to like I started, you know, pretty early with, you know, the traditional kind of curry and then Madras, you kind of go up Vindaloo. The fall just is a bit too far for me. Is that like super? I've gone up there in spice. This is honestly been great for me, Pete, because I've realised we have no shared interests. Yeah. Absolutely none. But somehow it works. It's the same with my wife.

29:07We have absolutely no interests that we share or passions. But it seems to work, you know? It does fantastic. When I grew up, we just never had a good Indian restaurant or didn't have an Indian restaurant near us. So we always had fish and chips. So I didn't know until I went to Edinburgh Comedy Festival, where they have incredible Indian cuisine up there. And so I didn't have one until I was probably like 25, 26. Oh, really? See, I kind of grew up on it, you know, like, you know, I did eat other things as well. But quite often we'd go to the local Indian restaurant. I have a chicken tikka and then a masala and then kind of a curry.

29:45Then, you know, I've gone on to a madras now. I've ventured into Vindaloo territory. Is that too far, Vindaloo? The Vindaloo is on the cusp because once you get into spice, I don't know if you're like this, but once I got into the spice, I didn't really get it. but then I kind of wanted to push myself you get to the point where like I don't know if it's because I played football and I want to continually get better yeah but competitive yeah maybe I just I won't let like the the vindaloo beat me so I kind of got to the vindaloo level and then I pushed it to the far which was like just a bridge too far you pushed it too far yeah yeah I mean I even and a dip of the naan bread in that is too explosive.

30:27Really? Yeah. Peter Crouch. The goat, Indian order. And the award goes to, drum roll please.

30:36Ironically, that's what your butthole's going to sound like tomorrow. Yes. It goes to... It's a chicken tinker starter, Joel, and it's a chicken madras. It's plain rice, Bombay aloo, and a garlic naan. Oh, give a round of applause. Thank you. Bombay-a-loo. What's up, Bombay-a-loo? It's like a potato dish. Very nice. You know what? There's a little post-it note on the back here. I'm going to take that, and I'm going to order that tonight. Thank you very much. Peter Garage, put that on the wall. Wonderful stuff. Award four. Absolutely excellent. I feel like I'm learning a lot about you, Peter Garage.

31:19Hopefully our listeners will be too. I'm actually quite hungry now, to be fair. Okay, Peter, award number five. It's the big one. It's the award we will ask every single guest on, and the award goes to, and it is the absolute best feeling in the world. So what we want to hear, Pete, is what you think is like, you know, just that thing that's the most electrifying feeling in the world, something that sparks just pure joy from Peter Crouch. What are the nominees, please? Oh. Well, I kind of know what I've chosen. Okay. Well, you know what? Should we just go for it? Well, yeah. You know, I'm starting to feel slightly guilty now because there are amazing moments in life, like the birth of my children.

32:12Yep. And like, you know, getting married. Yep. So I do feel slightly guilty that I've picked this now. did you celebrate all of those incredible moments with a robot no no so when your children were born you didn't decide no that's what i mean you know so like with with kids i'm not trying to compare it having babies to to my eventual winner but um you know you kind of know that you're gonna have them yeah yeah yeah i know what you mean you know like like for nine months i'm ready for that moment like it's not just happened yep do you know if babies came out at like randomly that would be really euphoric wouldn't it oh my god we've had a boy but like what you know i've got to tell you what it what it is tell me tell me what your winner is then i can explain it the absolute best feeling in the world uh and the award goes to peter crouch drum roll please yeah it is it's scoring a goal of course it is of course it is of course it has to be i know what you mean it's like there's something about like the fact that like you might be a professional footballer and you might not score a goal for your whole career it's because you've worked so hard for that moment and and it's unexpected because it it's a huge moment like Like you say, it's like, for nine months, you know.

33:39Yeah, yeah, like that is, it's the best thing that's ever happened to me is obviously having children, I absolutely love it. But what I'm saying is like, as a moment like that, like I say, I did know that was gonna happen, you know? So with a goal, it just, you score it. And then, you know, all the lead up to it, all the build up to it. And then if you think about it, like, I think the most I played in front of was, say, 90 ,000 at Wembley. and then you think pretty much 80 ,000 people just something you've done has made them stand up and then everyone is sharing that kind of euphoria together there's something special about that and I think this one goal really sticks out of my mind there was some really great ones that were scored some important ones but there was one for Tottenham against Manchester City away it was one game to get in the Champions League and I remember scoring the goal that got us into the Champions League, you know, against the odds.

34:40And I remember running behind the goal after I'd scored it and kind of just running behind it. Thankfully, it was at the away end. And just a sea of people going absolutely crazy. And you just think it's just an indescribable kind of feeling. I remember seeing my dad and bizarrely, because I knew where he was sitting before the game, so I kind of looked towards him. I saw him and he fell like four flights of stairs. What? Yeah, yeah, he fell down, like, and I lost him completely in a sea of limbs. And I kind of, like, people jumped on me. And then I looked up and I kind of see, I saw him again, like, four rows in front.

35:18And just that moment is something that will live with me, you know, forever. Okay, Pete, pop it on the wall, my friend. Give it a round of applause, of course. It's scoring a goal. Of course it is. Not many people who've done that. Okay, right, before we go, let's recap on your slate of incredible award winners. You gave us, for the best gold celebration, you went with Roger Miller in Cameroon 1990 World Cup Jig. Give him a round of applause. For the best first sip of a crisp pint, you went with the first sip of a pint on holiday with no kids. Give him a round of applause. For the item that would have been most popular on the team bus, you went with Nintendo Switch 2 with Mario Kart World.

36:02Give him a round of applause.

36:06For the Goat Indian Restaurant Order, you went with a chicken tikka starter, madras, plain rice, garlic naan, and Bombay aloo.

36:17And lastly, for the Best Feeling in the World Award, goes to scoring a goal. Give him a round of applause. Are you satisfied, Pete, with all your winners? Yeah, I don't think you can argue with that. I mean, plenty of people will, I'm sure, but I'm pleased with it. I'm pleased with it too and I'm very pleased with your placement as well. You've gone for around the sign. Yeah, I kind of went it was all symmetrical until scoring a goal but I wanted to put scoring a goal up there next to Roger Miller because it just felt right. You know what? Your instinct was correct. Thank you. I absolutely love you Peter Crouch.
