On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Peter reveals his brand-new obsession that’s taken over his life—and it’s not football. Abbey fills us in on the family’s holiday, from chaotic poolside flamingo inflatables to witnessing the magical hatching of baby turtles on the beach.

Things get heated when Abbey nearly adopts a stray dog, much to Pete’s horror, and they relive a night out with a Netflix magician who pulled off the most mind-bending tricks they’ve ever seen.

The pair dive into your emails too—covering postcode pride, wedding guest dramas, and schoolyard beefs that never die. In the Agony Abs, Abbey and Pete offer their brutally honest advice to a listener whose boyfriend just can’t stop looking at other women, plus one whose dad is dating a woman younger than them.

And with back-to-school chaos looming, Abbey shares the reality of six suitcases’ worth of washing, labels, and a million pencil cases.
