On this New Year’s special episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris kick back with a relaxed end-of-year pod with listener messages, reflections on a huge year, and absolutely no pressure… until bowling enters the conversation.
The lads look back on some unforgettable podcast moments, react to thoughtful listener questions about football pressure, injuries, and dressing room dynamics, and share a genuinely moving message about prostate health awareness.
Then, in true Crouchy fashion, things take a sharp turn as a simple listener question sparks a full-blown debate about ten-pin bowling.
Is a perfect bowling game harder than a hole-in-one? Why does everyone think they’re better at bowling than they actually are? What’s the most embarrassing thing you can do on a bowling date — and when did bowling shoes quietly disappear forever?
It’s light-hearted, nostalgic, unexpectedly philosophical, and the perfect way to see in the New Year with the pod.
Happy New Year from the lads — and yes, most of the episode really does end up being about bowling.
