The Therapy Crouch

On this AMA episode of The Therapy Crouch, Pete and Abbey are back tackling your most pressing questions, starting with Pete awkwardly explaining why Abbey didn't get an enthusiastic invite to his upcoming podcast awards night. Between wardrobe disputes and chaotic rental living, the pair unpack the unfiltered reality of marriage when life gets messy.

The debate moves straight into home renovations and whether living amongst dust, storage units, and builders at 7am completely destroys romance—with Abbey giving a brutally honest answer on what happens to the bedroom spark. Plus, the two go head-to-head on who is truly reckless with money: Pete's massive fun budgets or Abbey's uncompromising obsession with luxury kitchen ovens.

Elsewhere, Pete and Abbey look back at their vow renewal on a private island, debate taking on The Traitors or Celebrity SAS, and sort out what Pete should wear to pick up an award.

We're back in the barn for another episode of The Therapy Crouch!

This week, Pete and Abbey dive into the sobering realisation of getting older, from realising we only have "20 summers left" to Pete officially banning Abbey from his car after driveway parking chaos and a trashed centre console. Plus, Gaz reveals the time he wore skin-tight long johns into an office job for weeks on end.

The gang explore how our habits evolve with age, debating tech neck, whether looking through Country Living magazine is the ultimate sign of middle age, and why Abbey refused to let Pete attend the new house meeting.

We also look back at Abbey's school days drawing fake Calvin Klein logos on her clothes, Pete's dream year at Liverpool, and tackle an Agony Ab dilemma from a man who pretended to be broke on date one and has now trapped himself in a "prison of thrift" at Wetherspoons.

We're back in the barn for another Therapy Crouch AMA!

Abbey and Pete kick things off unpacking Abbey’s marathon seven-hour phone calls investigating whether Noah’s Ark has actually been uncovered and why you shouldn't touch an alien. Pete also reveals why he’s forced to hide in the kids' bedrooms just to get half an hour of peace, only to be accused of leading a double life over some simple morning doorway stretches.

The great gaming debate takes centre stage as Pete admits the moment his gaming career was brutally cut short after locking Abbey outside in the cold for two hours while wearing a headset. This leads into an unforgettable listener debate on whether it's ever acceptable to cancel a 15-year wedding anniversary dinner just to play the biggest video game release of the decade.

Elsewhere, we hear about disastrous Pilates attempts on the reformer, the agony of pulled adductors, and a stomach-churning AMA straight from the dance floor of an Ibiza beach club involving frozen margaritas and very questionable hygiene.

We're back in the barn for another episode of The Therapy Crouch!

This week, Abbey is giving Pete’s face a full MOT (flaming wax balls included), while Pete defends his pool-side grunting while lifting 5kg pink dumbbells. The pair also debate the irresistible male urge to give a "happy slap" when walking past your partner, the perils of the "sweaty chin rest" hug, and Abbey’s pregnant school run delayed by a curry chip barm.

We’re also settling the ultimate UK debate: The World Cup of North vs. South! From Greggs vs. Gail’s to The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones, battle lines are drawn.

Plus, Pete shares his "subtle art of distraction" for getting his dream golf hole past Abbey. We hear about the kids meeting Lamine Yamal, the England squad and Agony Abs tackles a chilling turf war over a fridge's ice dispenser.

Welcome back to a special Ask Me Anything edition of The Therapy Crouch!

This week, Abbey, Peter, and Gaz are recording in style from London’s Corinthia Hotel. The gang kick things off with a debate over spa days, why Abbey would rather see the coving guy than go on date night, hungover spooning styles, and an awkward run-in with Frank Skinner.

Then it’s straight into listener dilemmas: Pete faces an impossible round of "Marry, Shag, Avoid", the group build a playlist out of their own names, and a listener writes in with a massive family feud over naming their baby after a grandparent "Mildred".

Plus, Abbey and Pete put £1,000 on the line for charity in a heated VAR playback bet!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are exhausted, voice-less, and straight back from the wedding of the century in Mallorca for Abbey’s sister Elle and Scott! Pete makes the dangerous admission that it might have been better than their own wedding, before breaking down how the entire UK airspace shutdown almost left the groom without a suit!

In this week’s listener dilemmas, we hear about child-free wedding rules being broken by feral nephews, a mortified mum whose six-year-old took her bedside intimates to a park playdate, and a couple living a 10-month lie after spending their Thailand honeymoon fund on a broken boiler.

Plus, Pete and Abbey take on the great TV volume war, debate cringe choreographed first dances, and reveal why their own trip to Thailand lasted exactly 24 hours!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in the barn diving into another chaotic Ask Me Anything! The episode kicks off with Pete and Abbey sharing wedding panic as Jack demands a Phil Foden zigzag buzz cut with Wayfarers for his tux, and Pete revealing his romantic, candle-lit Ibiza proposal while Abbey sat in wet hair and pyjamas!

In this week’s listener questions, a listener is left spiralling after her boyfriend muttered "I love you" for the first time completely asleep in bed, sparking a fierce debate between Pete and Abbey on whether unconscious confessions count, saying the L-word on Day Three, and Abbey's unromantic text blunder: "I love you" VS "I'm at the gate!"

Plus, Pete and Abbey continue the debate whether getting older means all the "firsts" in life are done, Abbey claims her crown as the household kissing expert, and the guys react in absolute horror to the viral "Up The Fulham" audio craze!
