<p>On this week’s 401st episode special of the Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris celebrate hitting an unbelievable milestone… by completely losing control of the show.</p><br><p>First up is Portsmouth legend and cult hero <strong>Kit Man Kev</strong>, who delivers an all-time segment. From washing players’ kits for cash, to lifting sofas over balconies, to wild dressing room stories and boxing sessions with players — Kev gives a brutally honest take on how football has changed, why “the game’s gone,” and what modern players are missing.</p><br><p>Next in is <strong>Nortei Nortey</strong>, where the lads are immediately apologetic for a previous episode’s “funny name” antics… Nortei brings a different footballing perspective with stories from his career, connections to the lads, and a look into Dagenham &amp; Redbridge’s recent takeover.</p><br><p>Then things take another left turn as <strong>Felix White (The Maccabees)</strong> joins — blending football, music, and podcasting worlds. There’s talk of FA Cup obsession, crossover culture, and even a cheeky callback to Crouchy previously slagging off his podcast… before Felix quite literally plays the episode out with a fantastic live musical moment.</p><br><p>No script, no structure — just three surprise guests, unbelievable stories, and a 401st episode special that proves sometimes the best episodes are the ones where nobody knows what’s coming next.</p><br><p>Chumbawamba</p><br><p>00:00 - Intro &amp; 401 episode milestone explained</p><p>03:00 - Reflecting on podcast origins &amp; early days</p><p>04:00 - The “Peteroni” glass reveal (long pint glass)</p><p>05:00 - First pour attempt goes horribly wrong</p><p>06:30 - Cheers to 401!</p><p>07:30 - Classic podcast memories &amp; catchphrases</p><p>08:30 - Story: Crouch getting recognised post-retirement</p><p>09:30 - Glass-making video &amp; behind-the-scenes reaction</p><p>11:30 - Attempting to “split the P”&nbsp;</p><p>13:00 - Format reveal: mystery guests with blindfolds</p><p>14:00 - Old VHS footage introduced</p><p>14:30 - Young Crouchy’s Chelsea interview clip reaction</p><p>15:30 - Ball boy footage &amp; early career nostalgia</p><p>16:50 - Transition to first mystery guest</p><p>18:30 - Blindfold guessing begins</p><p>20:30 - Kev revealed: “heartbeat of Portsmouth”</p><p>23:00 - Early Crouch days: living alone &amp; being looked after</p><p>24:30 - Sofa lifting through balcony story</p><p>26:00 - Kev’s backstory</p><p>30:30 - Stories about legendary players</p><p>32:30 - Dressing room fights &amp; boxing stories</p><p>37:00 - “Game’s gone” discussion begins</p><p>38:30 - Modern football vs old-school mentality</p><p>40:00 - Smoking, culture &amp; changes in football</p><p>41:30 - Tribute to Portsmouth fans &amp; emotional goodbye</p><p>43:30 - Kev leaves &amp; reaction from the lads</p><p>44:30 - Second guest teased</p><p>46:00 - Clues: football links, connections to hosts</p><p>48:00 - Identity slowly pieced together</p><p>49:00 - Nortei Nortey revealed</p><p>50:00 - Football journey &amp; connections discussion</p><p>51:30 - Talking career paths &amp; recent football experiences</p><p>53:00 - Banter about mutual links &amp; teams</p><p>54:30 - Short but lively segment wraps up</p><p>55:30 - Third guest teased (non-football world hints)</p><p>56:00 - Clues: podcast, music, crossover with sport</p><p>57:45 - Big clue: FA Cup book reference</p><p>58:10 - Felix White revealed (The Maccabees)</p><p>01:05:00 - Felix White segment continues: football + music crossover chat</p><p>01:07:00 - Podcast banter &amp; shared industry stories</p><p>01:08:30 - Felix reflects on football culture &amp; storytelling</p><p><strong>01:09:00 - Felix plays live music / plays the episode out </strong>🎶</p><p>01:10:20 - Reactions to the performance &amp; wrap-up with Felix</p><p>01:11:10 - Transition into Paddy Power segment</p><p>01:12:00 - “Wives Called” segment introduced</p><p>01:24:30 - Final laughs &amp; wrapping the segment</p><p>01:28:11 - End of episode</p><br><p>Special thanks to Lumsdale Glass for the amazing Peteroni glasses: https://www.lumsdaleglass.co.uk/</p><br><p>For more Peter Crouch:&nbsp;</p><br><p>Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch&nbsp;</p><p>Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch&nbsp;</p><br><p>For more Chris Stark&nbsp;</p><br><p>Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_Stark</p><p>Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/</p><br><p>For more Steve Sidwell&nbsp;</p><br><p>Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell&nbsp;</p><p>Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14&nbsp;</p><br><p>#PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
