The Therapy Crouch

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!

Welcome back to a very special episode of The Therapy Crouch!

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!
