The Therapy Crouch

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Peter is back in LA while Abbey holds down the fort in Portugal, and long-distance life is proving just as chaotic as ever.

The pair kick things off by catching up across the time difference, with Pete walking into a house where everyone is ill while Abbey gives a dramatic update on her ever-growing cat family. What started as rescuing a few kittens has turned into full-blown Tiger King territory, complete with surprise attacks and daily battles just to clean their eyes.

Elsewhere, Peter reveals his biggest long-distance frustration, why time zones should be abolished forever, and the couple laugh about the strange ways they've celebrated birthdays and even delayed Christmas together when life got in the way.

There's also a brilliant listener debate about whether "I'm just going for one drink" has ever actually meant one drink, before the pair tackle some of the internet's most ridiculous ‘Am I The Asshole’ stories. From a man who demolished an entire four-foot party sandwich to a groom desperate to hide his brother's extremely graphic tattoo on his wedding day, the dilemmas only get more bizarre.

Plus, Pete is fascinated by LA's driverless delivery robots, Abbey explains why self-checkouts are killing conversation, and an Agony Ab involving a supposedly "dead" ex leaves everyone questioning what they would do in the same situation.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back for another Ask Me Anything from Portugal and there is absolutely no shortage of chaos!

The pair kick things off by diving into the realities of being reunited after time apart, with Abbey admitting Peter has completely ruined the routine she’d finally managed to get in place while solo parenting. There’s also a fresh long-distance confession from producer Gaz, who reveals he took his girlfriend’s pants to LA for “comfort” only for them to be neatly folded by the housekeeper and left on full display in his room…

Elsewhere, Abbey and Peter discuss one listener’s boyfriend who insists on calling a Leeds-to-Manchester relationship “long distance”, whether ugly animals are actually the cutest pets of all, and why Abbey can’t stop rescuing tiny kittens in Portugal. There’s also a truly bizarre internet confession involving a sex act, a shout of “Shabba!” and an Alexa request for Mr Bombastic that completely derails the pod.

Plus, Abbey opens up about her Scouse identity, whether she’s become “too posh” for Liverpool, and the strange experience of sounding too Scouse in London but not Scouse enough back home!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are reunited in Portugal for a Father’s Day special… but as always, things go downhill fast!

Abbey reveals she’s somehow ended up fostering a wild cat and five tiny kittens after they were found abandoned in a dumpster, while Peter returns from LA only to be struck down by jet lag & a family vomit bug. Oh, and Gaz suffers one of the most unfortunate sunburn injuries we’ve ever heard on the pod!

The pair also tackle some of your Father’s Day dilemmas, from whether homemade cards are ever acceptable as an adult, to the horror of six-minute voice notes from dads who’ve discovered Facebook Marketplace.

In the Agony Abs, one listener gets in touch after walking in on her boyfriend wearing her lingerie over a full work suit while performing what can only be described as an interpretive crab dance around the bedroom… and honestly, it might be one of the most chaotic emails we’ve ever had!

Elsewhere, there’s more pelvic floor follow-up, Abbey and Peter debate slamming doors, wardrobe icks and car door etiquette, and Gaz admits what he’s missing most about football culture in the UK while out in the States.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter attempt another long-distance podcast recording... and quickly realise just how difficult it is to be apart.

After a chaotic start filled with technical disasters, Peter opens up about life at the World Cup, meeting internet superstar IShowSpeed, and why being away from home is proving tougher than expected. Meanwhile, Abbey has fully embraced life in Portugal, from horse riding on the beach to becoming the ultimate football mum.

The couple discuss whether they’re any good at long distance, Peter’s frustrations with communication while he’s away, and why they both agree being apart simply doesn’t suit them.

Plus, listener emails spark conversations about celebrity lookalikes, bizarre relationship situations, modern dating dilemmas and one particularly awkward bedroom problem that leaves Abbey and Peter struggling to keep a straight face.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back for another Ask Me Anything episode and things quickly take a surprisingly therapeutic turn.

The pair tackle everything from moving across the world and starting over in Los Angeles, to the relationship habits that secretly drive people mad.

There’s a heated debate over butter etiquette, cheese board rules and Peter’s definitive ranking of bottled water, before the conversation shifts into some genuinely heartfelt advice for a listener considering leaving behind friends, family and a successful career for a brand new life abroad.

We also hear about a listener whose boyfriend can’t fall asleep without listening to The Therapy Crouch, discuss why Peter thinks LA is completely different from what he expected, and settle the age-old question of whether Abbey could beat Peter at any physical activity.
