Summary

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris, and Sids dive into the wildest

marathon stories—both on and off the pitch. Sids reveals the highs and lows of training for the

London Marathon, while Pete shares an unexpected encounter from his own race experience. The

lads also react to an incredible story from a listener who ran 95 marathons in 61 days (yes, really!).

The conversation takes a turn as they discuss luck vs. talent in football—does being in the right

place at the right time matter more than skill? Crouchy reflects on the moments that made (and

nearly broke) his career, while Sids shares his experience at Arsenal, where he might have been at

the right club at the wrong time.

Elsewhere, they tackle live TV chaos (including Joe Hart’s accidental on-air blunder), Chris’s roast

dinner that led to an impromptu session on the pints, and the latest pod invention—an actual That

Peter Crouch Podcast board game! The concept? Stay out of the doghouse and survive the ultimate

pub crawl. Would you play it?

Let us know in the comments—what’s the luckiest moment in your career? Would you take on the

95-marathon challenge? And most importantly… should Sids actually run the marathon dressed as a

pudding?!

Don't forget to subscribe, drop us a review, and stay tuned for more podcast chaos next week!
