VIRAL TikTok Singer Plays That Djed Spence Song, Season Begins & Community Shield DISMAY?! | EP. 420

On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris express their absolute dismay towards the Community Shield’s double booking, and ask whether Manchester City’s 3-0 defeat to Arsenal is anything to worry about for Pep’s replacement Enzo Maresca.

The Gunners’ strong start has the lads wondering if they could run away with a consecutive Premier League title, and we also get into the Championship - with Millwall backed to make a serious push for the playoffs and plenty of love for the players expected to light up the season.

Sids signs off from the Maldives before the lads are joined by singer-songwriter Ben Cipolla, whose football-inspired songs have taken social media by storm. Ben explains how a joke about Brighton’s Deniz Undav turned into a growing catalogue of football songs, before revealing how his Djed Spence song exploded after an appearance on 606. He also talks about becoming a full-time musician, his ambitions to take the football songs even further, and Chris reveals his dream of Ben reaching the Christmas Number One spot.

And if that wasn’t enough, Ben brings along some homemade dips from his mate Paddy (in classic random pod fashion), performs his brilliant football songs live in the studio, and then unveils an EXCLUSIVE new song written especially for the podcast – ‘Back Stronger’.
