The Therapy Crouch

Episodes

• Blind Date Waxing Nightmare, Turkey Pillows & The Brutal Family Roast!We're back in the barn for another episode of The Therapy Crouch! Pete and Abbey unpack their scenic escape to Norway, surviving endless glasses of "bitch juice," and why Pete's post-golf hosting habits leave Abbey freezing in a house without furniture. Between Abbey attempting to cure a brutal hangover with raw sardines and Pete sleeping with a giant turkey-shaped ostrich pillow on his head, domestic harmony is truly hanging by a thread. The team break down the sheer chaos of half-term parenting, navigating four kids with zero overlapping interests, and the extreme parental lies used to keep the peace. Pete reveals why he abandoned Abbey mid-fall during a high-stakes game of 40-40 in the garden, while the pair make another high-stakes charity bet on whether they can survive the holidays completely sober. Plus, an incredible lineup of listener dilemmas in Weekly Wines and Agony Abs: from living with a flatmate who commentates every domestic chore like David Attenborough, to a blind date that goes horribly wrong when the woman opposite turns out to be the local waxing specialist. Finally, the gang tackle a truly cursed, wide-eyed horse painting that's destroying one listener’s living room walls.

• Abbey Grills Pete For Leaving Her Out Of The Podcast Awards! | Ask Me AnythingOn 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.

• “Only 20 Summers Left?!” Abbey & Pete Tackle Ageing Fears, Tech Neck & Gold DiggersWe'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.

• "You’re Skipping Our Anniversary?!” Peter & Abbey Debate GTA & Wild Gamer Obsessions | AMAWe'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.

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.
