The Future Of The Pod!! New Guests, New Games & BIG Plans For This Season | EP. 418

0:00Chris Stark: Hello and welcome to That Peter Crouch Podcast with me Peter Crouch. I've got Chris Stark with me today and Siddhartha Sinha and Siddhartha Sinha. It's remote. Everything okay? We all good? You're struggling with your headphones? You alright Chris? I don't know why I've been given these ones that look a little bit special. You do look special, yes. You look a little bit like the guy in Something About Mary. What's his name? Oh. Sorry to touch my baseball? Travazable, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There is a bit of that, isn't there? A little bit of that. But welcome back to the Chumble One Bar. It's great to be back.

0:33It really is. Sidi, Sidi, you're somewhere in the world. Where are you? I'm in Portugal, lads. I'm not on a holiday. I am actually working. So before people jump on the bandwagon. Working. No, listen, I am working. I am doing the Football Escapes, Crouchy. You've done them before. it's the coaching courses that Bobby Zamora and Rio Ferdinand head up and I'm in Portugal we had a we started today on Monday Monday to Friday and we had 110 kids today lads so it was a busy one quarter to ten in the morning start till about quarter past twelve so it was good it was a really good day I'd say it's more Portugal

1:15Chris Stark: over here than it is in Portugal at the moment well it's very hot at the moment the Chamba One Bar's roasting can we share where we've just been of course we can where have you been where have you been where do you think we've been have you been to the tapas oh yes we've been to the tapas it's so strange like first time i've seen crouchy in ages sure enough the text comes through do you want a quick tapas before we start do you know what so we've been recording the therapy crouch at home and uh we started a little bit late so uh the lads had to drive all the gear back from my house to here and they were running a little bit late so we had half hour spare so I thought I said to Chris you know what let's take this fancy little tapas it's so good and you turn up there Sid you've done it plenty of times as well they love crouching in there like straight into the corner they even turn it's boiling hot today they turned a fan around as well just for him there in the corner he knew the order straight off like he didn't even need to look at the menu I sort of it gave me the it camera so slightly it was a bit it was a bit overconfident there was just something a bit overconfident about you in that place in that environment I feel like I feel at home and then because we were running late they hadn't quite got around to doing the prawns yet because you know tapas is a bit random in nature but Crouchy had clocked that we hadn't had the prawns yet leant over paid the bill and said and this is a strange one we'll take the prawns to go so in a really strange set of circumstances we turned up at the Chumba one bar here feeding a team of three or four people working on the pod with three prawns.

2:54He's literally doing a Jesus today.

2:57Chris Stark: I know. It's been fantastic. I've got some ice cold beers from the flight and a few prawns for the lads. Beautiful. What's the script there, Crouchy? Do you go in there and do a... Obviously you said they rattled the order off, but do you have the same order or do you sometimes change it up or do you go a little bit sort of off-piece? I'm very similar. it's very similar I mean I usually go for one rogue dish but I'll have the croquettes the jamon the potatoes bros and then I'll go for like one rogue dish I went for the garlic prawns today but it might be like a little like lamb dish or something something a bit different but usually the same staples here he's just such an advocate for tapas it's one of those things that I don't think people quite quite realise dare I say it I would love you to get involved in a proper Spanish advert.

3:47You know, I'd love to see like the Board of Tourism there or I don't know what a kind of Spanish food brand would be. Do you know what I mean? Like the Hamon or perhaps, yeah, something along those lines.

4:00Chris Stark: That's what you need really, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, so that was nice, but missed you. So once again, it's not all three of us in the Chambawa. I thought you were here this week, Sid. So a proper reunion is still to come, but for now we'll just have to muddle through. Yeah. Okay, talking of food though, quickly. Chris, you had a bit of a barbecue masterclass or was it like a chef? What was this all about? I did. Talk to me. Talk to me. Got invited by a fancy restaurant to go and get taught how to do a barbecue by a French man. That's the one you were telling me about. Yeah, it was. It's a nice restaurant.

4:34Chris Stark: You've been there. I have. I absolutely love it there. Yeah. You can say it, can't you? You allowed to say it? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, it's a proper fancy place. It's a place called The Waterside. but it's like it's it's like michelin starred like it's it's serious level that serious chefs and i went there for the day and and uh they do a like a barbecue master class so it's really really fun day that bbq sees everywhere well this is it and i i suddenly felt inspired because i thought my gosh could i be it was sort of michelin starred level because that sort of restaurant's champions league really isn't it well yeah it's top level that's top top level that i mean i go there i've been there a couple of times for anniversary yeah days but top top level and the main man there alan rue yeah you know these are circles he's moving in now sid's i mean he started with a humble barbecue now he's he's ruined he's rue barbecued yeah but i'm trying to like i'm just trying to build this up for all of us you know i think this is this is i've always i'm always thinking what can we do different as a podcast that's different to the other ones out there you know because a few have flooded the market now they have crouchy yeah but listen football heritage stands firm i agree with that and i think the barbecuing is a nice sort of offshoot as well you know just keep keep a hand in with that you'll know it's working when when roy keen suddenly starts up on one yeah then then then you'll know we're making proper waves i mean listen i had a bit of a nightmare so i did a barbecue myself yesterday and as you know i've I've inherited, you know, I didn't get it.

6:05Chris Stark: I've inherited a really good setup at home. I couldn't even get it on yesterday. So I did the meat on the hob. What must your wife think of that? It was quite, it wasn't great. It wasn't my most kind of macho scenario. I had a pan, tiny little pan. So we're getting work done on the house. Yeah. And I'm using the outdoor kitchen as our kitchen. And yeah, I'm basically frying like two burgers at a time. on the pan and was abs just stood there shaking their heads disgusted absolutely disgusted yeah because Crouchy's got Sid's you've been there so you'll better explain but he's got what I understand to be a kind of Ramos level grill or a sort of an Argentinian it's good I think Martinez has a really good set up but it's like a proper proper good set up but obviously he's not sort of equipped to know how to really use it yeah no it's we're talking outdoor kitchens, it's high level, as high level as you go.

7:09Yeah, I think he's got to, yeah, just get himself used to certain products that's in there because it's fully equipped, isn't it? I mean, we're talking, it's got everything there. It's got pizza, it's got pizza oven, it's got the lot. So, okay, well, you made do with a pan. So that's like... He did okay. I still think, and I ran this past the lads last week, I think we should aim for it this season. is we pick a charity and we do a 24-hour live stream from your outdoor kitchen. Wow. Tents and everything. Could be a little bit Brokeback Mountain. What, do you want, like a little festival? Yeah, or a festival.

7:45Maybe that's more the way to think of it. Brokeback Mountain. No, it's just a festival. What about that? But you know what I mean, like, us three men. Yeah, just being men. A 24-hour live stream of the barbecue. If you piss off, you piss off. Like, you know, we can book you for an hour, I'm sure.

7:59Chris Stark: Yeah, I'll do an hour and then I'll just get back to bed. I mean, since the rest of the time. You can break back it together.

8:07I've got visions of sort of lights on foreheads, that kind of thing. Do you want to do that? Listen, I'm up for doing that. We just need, I think we do it for a good cause, 24 hours, you know, if everyone pisses off on the live stream, we'll go to bed.

8:21Chris Stark: What's the cutoff? Like five people? If five people watch. Five people more to keep it alive. Imagine it goes below five people watching, we have to turn around to each other and go, wow there must be a cut off like who's going to do the entirety for us do you know what I mean do you think they'll come and go yeah I think so and I think we can have sort of special guests floating in and out kind of thing do you know what I mean so you're saying is it a 12 hour barbecue session or a 24 hour I think I think 12 hours sounds naff for charity now not after you've got all these people running he's killing it for everyone he's seven marathons he killed it for everyone what's the Eddie Izzard oh all of them he ruined it everyone's will always be shit now McGuinness even Jamie Lang do you know what I mean they've all they've all kind of ruined it didn't you stay awake for ages 24 hours where it's nothing nowadays now well it's not it's not Izzard Devils is it but it's good going but I think 24 hour live stream barbecuing we get the odd you know person just floating through here or there Mr.

9:22Chris Stark: Islam Mr. Islam Dev from Corrie at 3 in the morning just to pick things up I don't know it's your house it's up to you mate I'm up for it I think any excuse to kind of have a barbecue and a few beers let's do it we're in let's go yeah alright then well listen you know you talk about like the next season and stuff like that we put out the call to a lot of a lot of fans you know and listeners who've got in touch with we basically said new formats guests you want challenges does your beer smell like shit sorry the beer was fine because I dispensed it from a can but where have the glasses been we're very much pre-season vibe at the moment they smell like someone's taken a shit in my glass have they been washed at all since last season no Sam has washed them Sam washed them with what yeah with what

10:21alright someone ruined your drink well we'll keep going but I think we're in now aren't we Bit of Peter Rimage on the drink

10:34Chris Stark: Smells funky man Sorry people No it's alright Basically we've got a load of people to write in With some of their suggestions for new season I'm really excited about the new season You never know which way it's going to go Really excited about where we go What guests we get on But there's some great suggestions here I'll start here with Dom Hall Why have we put the likes next to it? no idea Dom Hall's got 76 likes for this post he says crossover of jobs get Chris doing pitch side analysis with Joe Cole and Notorious and Crouch in the studio playing some bangers I like that really good idea I think that's really good the only thing that worries me is that I really see Chris going into that naturally actually because you know your football you know your stuff and Pete you've obviously done that as well what did you do you've done X I was on Radio X before Radio X so I think the one that's going to need a bit of help would be me and I think I'll need a lot of navigating in that department lads just follow my lead Sid just follow my lead I've done that all my life basically I haven't got a fucking clue what I did was talk someone else put the tunes on I mean really all it is is the same as what we do with the podcast but just with some songs in between I mean really we could just do that ourselves couldn't we I know what you mean Listen to this podcast and just bang some tunes in time.

12:00You know when you did, do you press the buttons and all that? No, but you see, mainly it's Jordan. Yeah. Because he's slick and it's, yeah, I would say. He's like, I think it's a bit like a band, you know. I think he's kind of the front man of it, I would say. What would you be?

12:18Chris Stark: Lead guitar? Bass player, I reckon. Bass. Do you know what I mean? It's kind of like, it's hard to explain exactly what they do, but it's sort of like... Yeah, I know what you mean. They just add something that it sounds kind of dead without it. Do you know what I mean? I get it. Silly question this, Chris. I've actually never asked you this before. Do you actually pick the songs? No. Oh, really? This is what I mean. You put those two questions together, you really then question what I do, don't you? I'll be honest with you, I question that about me every day. I mean like I understand there's a lot of podcasts now and things like that but let's all remember this start and has continued to just be us chatting shit in a pub I love the fact everyone listening please continue to listen because we really really enjoy doing that but anyway I think it's a good idea something to look at I think it's a good idea maybe a bank holiday what we do is we do a show all together on the radio.

13:24Yeah. I think that'd be good fun. We'll just come in and just do like one of, like a capital vibe. Yeah, I think so. I think we could do, well, it's up to you. Where do you want to go? I can't really go to another station really. It'd be weird. Like Sol Campbell. Yeah, it would be. Or the old flip reverse it, wouldn't it? Because I can't go back to, I can't be on Capital and do a show on Radio 1. Cristiano Ronaldo or something. Do you know what I mean? It's a bit flip floppy. I think, I think we do a show on Capital or Radio X Radio X I'd love to do a show on there it's good it's good music

13:56Chris Stark: yeah there's some bangers on there great music on Capital as well I should say we listen to you every morning mate in the car so no doubt Liam Barwick 27 he's got 65 likes Chris I know I don't but I quite like it now is that a lot of likes would you say I think that's quite good I think that's quite good I mean I don't know how many followers he's got but what's the normal rate for people This is pretty good. I think that's a good amount of likes. Strangely, I really miss the league predictions being in a separate podcast. Interesting. That's like the Friday pod, wasn't it? Well, I think the problem there was it was becoming a bit of a, you know, there was things that were happening on a Wednesday that didn't happen on a Friday.

14:41Chris Stark: I think there's a confusion. Yeah, I do know what you mean. I think the nice thing about putting the Friday podcast in with everything else is it just means over a couple of days you can get through all of it. It's hard to explain. If you break it up and the Friday podcast just comes out on Friday and the games are happening that night or on a Saturday, if you miss it on a Friday, you've kind of missed the boat with it. So I think it's better for it to all come out on a Wednesday, you know, potentially Wednesday, and then you've got a couple of days to kind of consume it all. I agree. I don't know.

15:15I feel like this whole pre-season vibe but it's kind of a chance to to look at whether we want to change it up a bit

15:21Chris Stark: we'll look at ourselves you know look at ourselves how can we improve a little freshen up of the set I did suggest that nothing's been done I've actually made a suggestion as well I said that what we need to do is drill a hole you know the sort of glory hole vibes into the side of the Chamba Womba then to put a camera through like there is an inconvenient wall here do you know what I mean? what the lads basically point out if you put a hole in there pointing this way 99 % of the time if people come see the Chumbawamba, it will look like a glory hole in the middle of the... Are you suggesting putting our penises through it?

15:53No, no, I don't think anyone's got to do that. I just mean, I just think we're in quite a tight bar here. Do you know what I mean? For the angles of everything. Okay. You got a camera in there? Camera out this way. Straight in the grid. Okay. Listen, that's something we can look at. Yeah. I think with that Friday pod shout, lads, when that was just the question was read out by you my camera is actually facing production as well Chris and Gaz and their heads just dropped so I think it's blatantly it's aggro for production to just basically do two pods I think so I think the Friday predictions pod as well let's make a commitment this year to always put it out on social our predictions yes rather than get the Saturday and then firing a text out going can we put the predictions

16:46Chris Stark: So this is basically, we're basically having a meeting whilst recording. It's real pre-season vibes. It's a pre-season vibes. We'll all be back stronger when we get into the year. We will be back stronger. This interests me. New to Football says, wives takeover episode. We've incorporated our wives at various times. For them to completely take over our roles, what would you say to that? Oh, I actually think it could be really good. Could you imagine our three wives in there with some bottles of rosé? Because obviously we have the beers and the Guinness. It would be carnage. I think it would be absolute, but in a good way, in a real good way.

17:30Chris Stark: I think it'd be nice, obviously, for the two wags, you know, I suppose, and then obviously, you know, your wife, a radio wag, to discuss kind of the... She's still a wag, I guess. yeah she is your wife or girlfriend yeah or the wags in general the wags I just assumed it was because it was a football scenario I think like to talk about like their experiences of being you know going away at World Cups or going away you know going to games or I suppose being a a wife in a football scenario yeah do you know what I mean so you don't think that because part of me thought do we just give them exactly the same topics that we talk about.

18:13And so, do you know what I mean? It's like a mirror of the same podcast.

18:17Chris Stark: Or give them, you know, their own kind of... No, I think, yeah, I think you're right. I think we do that. Yeah, because it's tricky because I don't know if you've ever seen this, Sid. For some reason, I think you might have. You know when loose women are on every day and then occasionally they do a loose man. Yeah. Have you been invited to do that? I think maybe. I don't know. I haven't done it. I'd love you to do it, please. I don't think I can go on loose women, you know. Loose man. loose man yeah I think Vernon Kay hosts it when it's does he really yeah they get a load of good looking men it's like it'll be like you yeah Roman Kem you know that sort of thing it'll be I'm trying to think who I'd imagine on there yeah I think you'd be great for it if they're listening and yeah I wonder if it'd be a bit like that I wonder if I like your idea Pete that they just have their own thing going on do you know what I mean well it's either that or yeah like you say you just give them topics about, you know, we're discussing, you know, kit men today.

19:15What their nicknames would be for us, that kind of thing. Fuck me, shall I tell you? I think it's really good. I actually think it's really good. I tell you what we also need to do, lads, and we flirted with it, is are we going to get the wives to make some soup and are we going to test the soups? Or is it the sandwiches? What was the latest one? Yeah, definitely.

19:35Chris Stark: Well, you know, last time we had, you know, we've got our own vegetable patch now. I had my own carrots, onions last night. Carrots, onions, we did. I had strawberries for dessert. You picked it all? No way. Yeah. Quite enjoying it, actually. It's really good. That's... There we go. This is very much a new you, isn't it? Yeah, it really is, yeah. I'm living off the ground. What else are you growing? I've got... There's parsnips. I've got carrots, strawberries, blueberries. Have you got grapes? Grapes. I've got grapes. I think potatoes. They're definitely like parsley, like that kind of stuff. And then I've just asked the gardener to plant some turmeric.

20:24Chris Stark: So I'm going to crush that up and make turmeric shots. This is... Charlie Dimmer.

20:33Alan Crouchmarsh. Yeah. You're right. I guess it's the opposite of Titchmarsh with you, isn't it? Yeah, nice. Giant marsh. Alan Giant Marsh. Great. Oh, my God. Brilliant. Well, you know, we had Lansbury on the podcast not too long ago, didn't we? Well, I see some of his... He provided us all with fertiliser at the end,

20:57Chris Stark: and it looks like you've really ran with it. Oh, yeah, well, we're going for it. It's really good. I was on the little ride on lawnmower thing the other day. It was a little go on that. That's one of my top fantasies. Oh, yeah. Well, I just want to see a little picture of it. You've got a ride on? Well, this is only a small thing. I can just picture Crouchy doing that and 100 % cold beer in place. Oh, mate, unreal. I just took the boys for a little spin. Stop it. Just this little thing. It's like a... It's not a... It's got a shovel on the front. A little shovel. It's not like a... It's just a little thingy.

21:30Chris Stark: A little one. It's better than a ride on. You've got a shovel. You've got a shovel at the front. You just pick up the leaves and stuff. Oh, man. And sometimes I really think you are living the dream.

21:43What do you mean sometimes? It's every day. It's every day, this man. That's a top fantasy of mine.

21:49Chris Stark: Yeah, I mean, it was good fun. Yeah, good for you, mate. Well, you come round, mate. We'll have an all-night barbecue and you can get on the ride on. That, after a few beers, would be immense, wouldn't it? Okay, isn't it? Does Abby ever look out the window and just see you going round? Well, she did the other day, yeah. She liked it. She didn't even know we had one. because obviously it's around the back. It's not a massive thing, but the gardener's around the back is obviously just hidden it away. So no one knew it was just there anyway. So did you set out to have a go on it? No, I went down to look at the vegetable patch.

22:23Chris Stark: And then saw it and thought, I own that. I'm going to have a go. Stay on that. I had a little go play around with it and it came on and then I was off. And then I thought, oh, brilliant. Man, so good. So good. It's all good. It's all good. Okay, right. Give a small club a chance for the boys to do a full commentary and studio review of the match as if TNT went to their game that day and broadcast it all over the world. Great idea. Great idea. OwenMCS12. I think one of the best episodes, was this over the last year, I suppose at the end of last season really, was when we went to Farnborough. I thought it was so good getting right involved.

23:02Sorry, Farnham, Farnham Town. and we got right involved in the club and it was an amazing day and a huge attendance on that game I think I think it was brilliant and I think everyone I think everyone that was there enjoyed that day but also we we had so much fun and got so much from it as well it was class day I think we should do that occasionally you know especially if a club has a cause I think the club needs there needs to be a reason to be there I guess

23:30Chris Stark: yeah I agree but like you say if we do the game you know you could host it me and Sid can be pundits yeah and we do we just do the game as if you know it's a Sunday league game but we'll do it we'll do it properly and we can put it out on our channels yeah we'll get in touch like if you know if you'd like that then get in touch with your Sunday league teams or your Saturday league teams and we'll we'll assess it we'll do our homework and we'll do it properly yeah brilliant brilliant idea I like that great idea I like it okay this one's from Sam Sargent he says organise a goalkeeper temp in bowling tournament, put the rolling distribution to the real test.

24:09Chris Stark: Perfect. Yeah. How good is that? How good is that? I don't think enough people, I don't know what you think, but I don't think enough people are doing the traditional rollout. Do you know what I mean by that? Like the old, like it used to be like, you know, on one knee, didn't it? You know, that one, the roll. No one's doing that anymore. You know what I mean? The little, you know, on the down on one knee, no one does it. It's all zippy now. It's fizzed, yeah. Do you know what I mean? Do you know what it is as well? It's like J-Mo. I remember J-Mo, he used to hold the ball like a basketball player and just launch it like a cricket ball.

24:43Zing one. Do you know what I mean? Incredible. Imagine him throwing a bowling ball down there like that. Because he would do that J-Mo as well. We know what he's like. Don't keep a bowling. I think he could catch on. I think it's a really good idea. It's a really, really good... Are we talking bowling or bowls? I think you want bowling, really. You want temping bowling. Full on temping bowling. Yeah, temping bowling, yeah. Aren't you weirdly good at temping bowling? Do I remember this right?

25:08Chris Stark: No, I almost joined a team, didn't I? I had my own ball and stuff. He has his own ball. Yeah, I did have. Him and Warnock own ball and rag, just like, just... Yeah, before he bowls, he takes it out and shines it up. He has a little, in the towel there, just either side. It was Lee Hendry. We played most afternoons when we were in Birmingham Villa. And he joined the team. Yeah, he was unreal, actually. Yeah. He got really good. My mate bought me a ball. And I did enjoy it for a little while. Do you remember the weight of it? Do you remember what number it was? It was like a football. It looked like a football.

25:45Chris Stark: It was black and white. Really? Like, yeah, hexagons. What was it, eight? What do you mean? Well, it's like the numbers on them. You get eight, ten, twelve. Oh, I don't know. You can't pick up an eight. You have to sometimes impress the ladies. You can't go any lower than a ten. You can't go any lower than a ten. An adult man cannot put his fingers in an eight.

26:11Chris Stark: He can't. He can't put your fingers in an eight. We've said about this before, mate. I think sometimes you have to though. Do you know what I mean? I think, listen, if you're with the lads and you're not, you know, maybe you want to win, but I don't think with your missus, there's no man on a date should be putting their finger in an eight. You also can't be struggling. You can't be two hands on a 12, can you? Do you know what I mean? A two-hander. Like, struggling under the weight. Two hands. Two hands. What's worse? What do you reckon's worse? Well, we need ladies to message in on this one. Ladies message in.

26:45Chris Stark: What's worse? If you're on a date, someone puts their fingers in an eight or struggling with a 12. Yeah. What's worse? Neither's great, but what's worse? Stick to a 10 is what I think I think so That's where you know where you are Just on this one lads I actually think this has got legs to expand even more Instead of being goalkeepers why don't we do what we've done with the go kind because I actually think there's probably a lot of players out there that do bowls that actually go 10 pin bowling and that fancy themselves so I reckon we could stretch this out to who is the best I think current 10 pin bowler in the Premier League Yeah in the Premier League or in the leagues, in the football leagues.

27:26Let's do it.

27:27Chris Stark: Sid, I love that idea, mate. I really do love that idea. Gaz, can you note this down, please? Because we, I think, you remember we used to do the running race, you know, that was brilliant. Then we had a mascot race, that's great. Fastest mascot. Best bowler in the football league. Yeah. You know, we had go-karting, obviously. You know, we know that Bridges, unbeatable. Yeah, David Benz is kind of well-trodden ground, really, isn't it? What's that? I feel like darts is well-trodden ground. Yeah, I think, no one knows it's just such a mixed bag you know imagine you've got like a really random player like I don't know like really random like who would you say Dan Petrescu was unbelievable do you know what I mean or you know Liam Rossini was top level but then do we need to normalise getting these things installed in training grounds it's not really a training ground game is it it should be though I think there's less bowling alleys as well.

28:23That annoys me a little bit. Yeah. But let's put it to the test. We'll add it to the list. These are all great ideas, I've got to say.

28:31Chris Stark: Yeah, we've got one here from Ginge here. KP89 Ginge. As a Carl, his name's Carl with a K. As a Carl, I'd like to put forward a way to redeem Carls around the world. It could be challenges or tasks to prove, then bring the name Carl back stronger and prove to the pod that not all carls are bad great idea yep I think in this current climate um you know maybe we do generalise a little bit too much and you know we do have to broaden our horizons and climate change we just need to have a look at it all now and reassess because you're right carls have done really bad out this podcast carls with k's I even say on the radio when one messages in I've always got to say it's carl with a k you always get a few texts coming afterwards going like piss off Carl I have to explain it to everyone it was a great time wasn't it it was a great time in our lives that yeah this was all because one Carl with a K once insulted Peter Crouch on his podcast the whole race of Carl's has been victimised ever since but it's done with love it's actually done with love I apologise to them all but you know I still haven't met a good one no but you've got to think a generation of Carl's you have to think any new Carls will be different to the ones of old.

29:53So you have a strange situation now where this podcast has been going so long, there must be children named Carl that are now about 10 years old. Do you know what I mean? They're about to go into the next phase of their life. Actually, we're breeding better Carls. You'd like to imagine. That's a good point. How would we do that? I think we'd need to do like a challenge Carl, wouldn't we? Like we put the challenge up of a certain, I don't know, one of Crouchy's bicycle kicks or something like that and then Carl's, if whoever does it and does it well, you know, they've redeemed themselves. I don't know, man.

30:25I think with this one, maybe we just need to hear and promote stories of Carl's doing good in the world. Do you know what I mean? So if you are a Carl and you do something good or you know a Carl that's done something good, let us know and we can sort of shine a light disproportionately on the goods that Carl's doing. That's a good, that's a lovely idea.

30:42Chris Stark: So right in, if you know a Carl who's doing some good stuff, doing some good work or, you know, Perhaps he's volunteers or he's just a stand-up guy. Then get in touch, send your Carls in, and we'll evaluate them. Perhaps we'll have the greatest Car in Britain. Yeah. Yeah, maybe we go the other way with it this season. It's the kind of thing that we can get behind. It'd be lovely to see a Car win a Pride of Britain award. It'd be nice to see a Car, you know, to get some recognition. Yeah. He's probably been a bell in his part in previous, but if he's turned it around. Yeah. All right, cool. Well, this could be your year, Carls.

31:20Chris Stark: How exciting. All right, lads, we got a couple. There's been quite a few of this, right, of the podcast tour. There's one from, they want to do a podcast tour of Ireland. That's from Jack Gould. He says Cork, Dublin, Belfast. Another pod tour here of all our teams. Mine and yours, Sid's. There's a lot of teams. There's a lot of teams. use there do I not get pin stars do we not get yeah we can do that we'll go over to pinner we'll do one in pinner be like Liverpool yeah this is great Liverpool Chelsea pinner we'll do one there we might as well someone says the pod tour down under oh my god that would be good I mean that would be good wouldn't it do you know there's a bit of an audience to this pod in Australia and we do get a lot of messages from some of our Australian ambassadors and listeners and we I don't know we flirted with the idea of going there before I think it'd be good I mean it would be great I'd love to do that I would love to go to us taking this on tour I know you know it was going to America was phenomenal and I think it's been great for the pod as well you know so yeah going to Australia would be fantastic Vanuatu's on the hit list as well if we go to Australia it feels like we need to go to Vanuatu as well it's just so far isn't it that's the thing with Vanuatu is yeah it's very far we definitely have to do the tour though lads in terms of the clubs like it's a no brainer to do like Portsmouth and London and Liverpool that would just like Birmingham for Villa that would be brilliant like the Crouchy's club that is class I agree get a small I think we make them a bit more intimate I like the idea we go back to when we used to do some of the sort of live shows and we were in the Samra or somewhere like that maybe we get a pub that isn't quite like arena levels that we've, you know, where we've done Wembley Arena, we've done these big, big sort of, whatever you want to call it, live shows.

33:24No one knows what they are. We're still not entirely sure what they are. But I sort of think we go to You Boys Club, we find a local artist, you know, someone who's a bit of a name in that area and that's it really. and make it a bit more sort of special, intimate. I reckon if you're up for that, I think that could be amazing. Sounds good to me.

33:49Chris Stark: Sounds good. Yeah. Well, we'll look into that. Just a message here about Shaniqua's box. This was something that we talked about. You know, Sid was very much, was very into. He said, each episode, Sid reads a listener question. The FA Cup Lucky Dip style from Shaniqua's box. That's a good one. So a listener question. We have Shaniqua's box on the table Sid will reach into it and pluck out yeah no question okay listen I don't mind dipping into Shaniqua's box once a week I think once a week it's fine okay

34:34anything to add anything to add on that one lads well what would be in Shaniqua's box that's what I'm trying to work out questions

34:43Chris Stark: weekly questions okay just any question just a question from a listener okay and instead of having them on an email I see we pluck them out of Shaniqua's box okay yeah just one just one question though don't double just one question Sid yeah yeah yeah okay like it come at the end if you were to rattle through yeah just a quick one just we'll wrap through these now weekly game where's Lebron each week Lebron James gives three clues as to what ground he stood outside I found out about that by the way yeah yeah bastard

35:26Chris Stark: what was he going to say say what does he want to do let three clues to which ground he stood outside okay shall I try and do one now yes So what, we send a cardboard cutout of LeBron? Well, I just have to explain. LeBron obviously stood outside the ground. I see. And you'll have to... We're doing this again. Come on. Yo, Crouchy, it's LeBron.

35:56Chris Stark: I think this is worse than the tapas thing. Somewhere in London, man.

36:06Chris Stark: there's houses all around me dude

36:12Chris Stark: gotta go through the motherfuckers get in the game I know where you are I think I know you're at Luton I was gonna go I was going Craven Cottage love that place whoa

36:34that's quite good I quite like it I quite like the game alright let Gaz write that down

36:39Chris Stark: we'll do we'll have some of that we'll have some of that in the season busy week for you Gaz busy week Gaz you'll have to you'll have to implement all this okay guests we've had Gerard Rooney Gazza Merson D 'Cannio Zola Ben Arthur Kevin Nolan Robbie Fowler Bruno Fernandes There's Carrick, Grealish, Bellingham, Hazard, Ronaldinho, Thierry Henry, Van Der Vaart, Beckham, Giroud, Mata, Azpilicueta, Pickford, Trippier, Lee Trundle, Sol Campbell, Duncan Ferguson, Harry Redknapp. Okay. A few other ones. Bob Mortimer, Stephen Graham, Tyson Fury, Tony Bredew, Joe Marla, Kevin Bridges, James Acaster, Josh Willicombe, the Wilderstone Raider, Billy McCulloch, Tubes and Jimmy, the City Kit Man or Dua Lipa Dua Lipa and Willstone Raider in the same sentence do you think we could get Dua Lipa and Willstone Raider at the same time I think we've tried with Dua Lipa before and it was a no what was that what was it one what was the song we had didn't we when we were going was it around the ring kissing thing and we wanted her to do one kiss one kiss is all it takes is all it takes is that one kiss the ring I think so one kiss is all it takes yeah I think think about it.

37:57Chris Stark: I remember we tried to get in touch and I think our people politely declined at the time. I just don't think it was quite on our radar at that point. The Willstone Raider, always welcome on this podcast, but he... You've got to kind of respect his career, haven't you? The longevity of that guy. You said it last time, I can't believe the longevity of it. If you really think about it. How long ago did he do that? Was it a while ago? good 10 years no I reckon it's over 10 years I think he's longer than 10 years I think it's over 10 years yeah and for him to still be you know he's still saying it so just getting on that list lads I actually think there's a lot of names there that's gettable if I'm honest I think I think we can yeah listen you know like think about the people we've had on this podcast we've had Oscar winners we've had Future Kings you know we've had music royalty plenty of football guests I just don't think do not rule anything out this is it when we had Gary Oldman a couple of months ago and then obviously we get not too long after that we have James Milner it really is very unpredictable even for us who will turn up at the Chambool even getting into the England camp during the World Cup we were the only pod in there because we set up in the back room and I was like what other podcast are they doing and none of them were doing in there it was only us it's incredible it was fantastic so well done everyone behind the scenes for getting that to happen so I just don't think you can't rule anyone out no I think we go to the very very top lads as well I think we try and go like all out for Erling Haaland this season I think if we can get that kind of calibre yeah I think he's someone that seems to have really captured people's imagination this summer.

39:57Chris Stark: Yeah. With not just you know what he did on the field but him off the field as well. He loves a barbecue. Just saying it. Does he? We shouldn't rule that out. Okay. Same with Bex. I think he'd barbecue. What about when we're talking about getting a barmer on at one point as well? Wasn't that a shout out? We might have talked about it, yeah. I'm not sure how far it went maybe we have a look at that again Gaz if that's alright Gaz just note that one down Barack Obama Barack Barack Obama yeah right okay well he's got that done just great to brainstorm obviously we'll be back stronger with a load of football chat we'll have some amazing guests this season you're not going to want to miss it that's been that Peter Crouch podcast back stronger next week Chumma Wamba Sids we'll see you soon will we I'm back next week are we all together next week no one's away no I believe so oh well we're all together next week lads let's do it I hope so yeah great we'll have a few beers it does feel quite pre-season this whole thing doesn't it it's fine well you know like obviously like people should we have a few beers should we pencil in a few beers that one just kind of clear the decks can we just clear the deck session next week just pissed and see what happens we could just plough through that one okay great Barak's stronger everyone
