Summary
On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids welcome Kasabian frontman Sergio Pizzorno, the creative force behind one of Britain’s most iconic rock bands. The lads dive deep into Sergio’s world — from his legendary songwriting process in “The Sergery,” to the chaos and glory of performing Fire in front of tens of thousands.
Serge opens up about Kasabian’s new music, what drives him as a frontman, and his unique parallels between music and football. They also relive Leicester City’s miraculous Premier League triumph, wild gigs at CrouchFest, and why Sean Dyche might owe him for Crouch’s transfer to Burnley.
Expect stories of flares, service station meetups, and rock ‘n’ roll philosophy — all with that unmistakable Crouch Pod banter.

| 0:08.8 | I'll be honest, cooking rice has never been my strong suit, although I do very much enjoy rice. |
| 0:13.1 | But back in my playing days, rice is a big part of my nutrition plan. |
| 0:16.4 | If I wanted to get through 90 minutes, I need the carbs, even if I had no clue how to cook |
| 0:20.4 | them properly. These days, cooking for the family is less about fueling for match day and more about fueling for everyday life. |
| 0:25.6 | What I didn't realise back then is rice can actually improve with age, like a fine wine, or me, for instance. |
| 0:31.6 | Till their age, their basmati rice, for up to 18 months, which is why it always cooks up light, fluffy and |
| 0:39.0 | separate, not wielding to the pan like some of my past attempts. And if time's tight, the ready-to-heat |
| 0:44.2 | pouches are done in just two minutes, perfect when abses out and I'm in charge of dinner, |

So if you want quality you can rely on, like this podcast, elevate your plate with Tilda rice. This podcast is brought you by Faye Total Yogurt. |

| 1:32.3 | Do you? |
| 1:32.8 | I do, yeah. |
| 1:33.8 | And did you know what we call Greek yogurt? |
| 1:35.8 | The Greeks actually call strained yogurt. |
