Why this story? The podcast "That Peter Crouch Podcast" rose to #76 on Apple's podcast chart in the UK, from #187 yesterday.

Peter Crouch's James Bond Casting, Ronaldo's Retirement & The Football vs. Family Debate! | EP. 432

Peter Crouch plays along when Chris Stark announces that the internet has cast him as James Bond. "I mean these discussions were supposed to be quiet," he replies, before the hosts start inventing football-themed Bond titles. It is a meme, not a casting announcement, but Crouch is happy to entertain the career change.

That Peter Crouch Podcast has risen from 187th to 76th on Apple's podcast chart in the United Kingdom. Made by Tall or Nothing, the show pairs former footballers Crouch and Steve Sidwell with radio presenter Stark, turning dressing-room experience, football news and elaborate running jokes into a weekly conversation.

The latest episode gives Crouch a rather more permanent proposition than imaginary film work. Debating whether anyone will surpass Cristiano Ronaldo's international goals record, he promises a Ronaldo tattoo if it happens in his lifetime. Stark immediately agrees to hold him to it. On another question of permanence, Crouch is less enthusiastic: he is not keen on retiring shirt numbers.

Family loyalties also get tested, with the Bellingham brothers prompting talk of relatives sharing a pitch, and Sidwell recalling Robbie Savage watching his son Charlie play against his team.

But Sidwell's television work supplies the running joke viewers keep returning to. The hosts replay him slipping "regards to him and his consortium" into a live broadcast, carrying their podcast language into his punditry. Several commenters pick out the smooth delivery; another suggests making unusual lines on mainstream broadcasts a regular challenge.
