• Hall Passes, Pregnancy Rows & Why Peter Threw Sausages Out The Window
    Jul 2 2026
    On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Peter and Abbey are back for another Ask Me Anything, still navigating long distance with Pete in LA and Abbey in Portugal, and the chaos starts almost immediately...The pair kick things off with a debate about breaking news alerts, why the news is always so depressing, and whether the world desperately needs a "good news" channel instead. They then dive into a listener dilemma about moving out to the countryside, discussing teenage independence, parenting guilt and why neither of them would let their own kids walk anywhere alone these days.Elsewhere, Peter and Abbey take a nostalgic trip back through their favourite childhood games, with Peter somehow admitting he left Abbey lying injured during a family game because he had to get back to the tree first!There's also a hilarious discussion about celebrity hall passes after one listener accidentally named Abbey as his, before Peter and Abbey reveal their own celebrity crushes and debate whether hall passes should even exist in a marriage.The couple also revisit one of their most infamous relationship rows involving wild boar sausages, pregnancy cravings and the "World's Best Prawn Sandwich", while another listener's dishwasher loading complaint sparks a surprisingly passionate debate about household chores and who actually knows the "correct" way to do them.Plus, Peter becomes obsessed with the idea of growing vegetables like David Beckham, the pair dream about making homemade soups and chimichurri from their future garden, and one listener's romantic evening is completely derailed by... a sourdough timer.There's also a heartfelt moment as Peter and Abbey send their love to listener Mark during his chemotherapy treatment, before ending the episode with a genuinely touching long-distance goodbye that reminds everyone just how much they miss being together.If you want to submit an Agony Ab or Ask Me Anything question to the podcast, hit the link below:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKD...00:00 - Intro and bizarre opening conversation00:28 - Ask Me Anything begins from LA and Portugal00:53 - Breaking news interrupts the podcast01:38 - Why the news is always so negative02:18 - Family dilemma: move house or stay rural?03:14 - Parenting guilt and giving teenagers independence04:14 - Would they let their own children walk alone?04:51 - Childhood games and playground nostalgia05:43 - Hide and Seek, Bulldog and forgotten classics06:15 - The new game everyone became obsessed with06:56 - Peter leaves Abbey injured to win the game07:20 - Celebrity hall pass dilemma from a listener08:09 - Abbey and Peter reveal their celebrity crushes09:12 - Hall pass rules and where the phrase comes from10:43 - Emotional message for listener Mark during chemotherapy12:18 - Pettiest reasons for ending relationships13:05 - The pregnancy sausage argument returns14:05 - The "World's Best Prawn Sandwich" disaster15:10 - Abbey admits she ghosted someone on a date16:18 - Peter's "dance van" pronunciation gets roasted17:42 - Dishwasher loading wars between couples18:40 - Peter's only official household chore19:18 - David Beckham's vegetable garden inspires Peter20:18 - Dreaming about home-grown food and batch cooking21:20 - Romance interrupted by sourdough bread22:10 - Parenting and trying to find time together23:20 - Peter's least sexy relationship moment24:18 - Bread making vs romance debate continues25:02 - Sweet long-distance goodbye and family appreciationTo contact us:Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.comInstagram: / thetherapycrouchpodcast TikTok: / thetherapycrouch Website:https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peter / petercrouch For more from Abbey / abbeyclancy Our clips channel / @thetherapycrouch-clipsch-om9dy Hosted on Acast.

  • Peter & Abbey React to America's Wildest AITA Stories, Robot Deliveries and Dating Disasters…
    Jun 30 2026
    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.If you want to submit an Agony Ab to the podcast - hit the link below:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKD...00:00 - Pete flirts before the podcast starts00:24 - Peter joins from LA as Abbey stays in Portugal01:05 - Pete arrives to a house full of ill crew members01:53 - Abbey's rescued kittens become complete chaos03:42 - Tiger King comparisons and life with five kittens04:28 - Pete misses Abbey but loves working in LA05:05 - Abbey's sunrise horse ride nearly sends Pete to sleep06:25 - Weekly whine: long distance and impossible time zones07:50 - Pete jokes Abbey is too happy without him09:00 - How they move anniversaries and even Christmas10:04 - "One drink with the lads" never ends well12:13 - Pete explains why men should stop promising one pint16:03 - Listener compliments, fashion chat and modern dating18:07 - Why the 90s were better than today20:00 - Relationship ick: talking to your partner through the dog22:24 - American AITA: the infamous 4-foot party sandwich26:24 - Was eating the entire sandwich actually selfish?29:53 - Dad tries forcing his 25-year-old girlfriend into every friendship group34:27 - Wedding drama over a giant vagina tattoo38:00 - Pete's mind is blown by LA delivery robots39:40 - Why self-checkouts are ruining human interaction41:25 - Agony Ab: is your girlfriend lying about her "dead" ex?43:25 - Doppelganger debate and emotional long-distance goodbyeTo contact us:Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.comInstagram: / thetherapycrouchpodcast TikTok: / thetherapycrouch Website:https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peter / petercrouch For more from Abbey / abbeyclancy Our clips channel / @thetherapycrouch-clipsch-om9dy Hosted on Acast.

  • Peter and Abbey Talk Long Distance Delusions, Comfort Knickers and The Return of Shabba!
    Jun 25 2026

    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!

  • Father’s Day Chaos! Abbey Fosters Five Kittens, Gaz Burns His BALLS and a Listener’s Lingerie Confession!
    Jun 23 2026

    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.

  • Long Distance Disasters! Abbey and Peter Struggle Apart, World Cup FOMO and Bedroom Dilemmas
    Jun 19 2026

    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.

  • Could You Leave Everything Behind? Abbey & Peter Weigh In!
    Jun 18 2026

    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.

  • He Invited Us To Dinner... Then Things Got Awkward | Ask me Anything!
    Jun 11 2026

    On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back for another AMA episode as they answer your dilemmas, share some hilarious stories and dish out their brutally honest advice.


    The gang kick things off by talking about spending time apart for the first time in a while before a conversation about restaurant etiquette and customer service spirals into a rant about supermarket managers, jangling keychains and the ultimate "jobsworth" behaviour.


    We also hear one of Abbey's most awkward holiday stories ever as an innocent dinner invitation takes a very unexpected turn, leaving her too nervous to tell Peter what had actually happened until much later.


    Also, Abbey and Peter help a listener who told someone they loved them only to have the feeling go unreturned, discussing heartbreak, rejection and why sometimes walking away is the healthiest option. We also tackle a bedroom dilemma from a listener looking to spice things up in his relationship, leading to one of the funniest and most chaotic conversations we've had in a long time.

  • Ducks, Koi Carp and A Very Angry 16-Year-Old!
    Jun 10 2026

    Welcome back to The Therapy Crouch! We’re in the middle of a house move, a country move, and apparently, Pete is starting his new life as a full-time farmer.


    In today’s episode, Abbey recounts what can only be described as the most traumatic parking incident in Everyman Cinema history. Let’s just say a 16-year-old staff member and a "barricade" of cars left her in actual tears.


    Meanwhile, Pete has bypassed the butcher and come home with live Koi Carp and a brood of ducklings. We introduce you to Bob, Pip, and the rest of the gang—plus, we dive into your "Weekly Whines," including a bottomless brunch disaster and a fan confession that proves Pete’s "accidental sex appeal" is still going strong.
