The Therapy Crouch

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are joined for another hilarious chat as they dive into the emotional rollercoaster of parenting, from the kids' dramatic new haircuts to realising they're picking up more Scouse than ever before.

The gang also discuss bizarre sleep talking, Peter opens up about dealing with nasal polyps during his football career, and the surprising realities of being best man at a wedding. Later on, the conversation turns to smart homes, whether technology is making family life easier or harder, and the culture shocks of travelling around America, from enormous food portions to tipping etiquette.

As always, there's plenty of laughs, relatable parenting moments and honest conversations along the way.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in New York for another chaotic Ask Me Anything, and this week's questions spark conversations that go absolutely everywhere.

The pair kick things off by joking about being reunited after travelling, with Abbey admitting she's officially decided she can't cope with single parenting, while Peter cheekily negotiates a "week on, week off" arrangement.

One listener asks Abbey for advice ahead of giving birth, leading to an honest chat about their own labour experiences, planned inductions, epidurals and the one thing Peter kept doing that drove Abbey absolutely mad while she was stuck in hospital. Peter also attempts to explain oxytocin... with predictably disastrous results.

Elsewhere, the pair react to one of the funniest listener confessions yet, involving a very drunk son, the wrong bedroom and an unforgettable wake-up call that had everyone in stitches.

Plus, Abbey and Peter weigh in on whether having loads of mirrors in your bedroom is a genuine relationship red flag, debate whether men are actually more vain than women, and Abbey exposes Peter's bizarre habit of practising his golf swing completely naked after getting out of the shower.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are FINALLY back together — this time recording from the middle of New York City after weeks apart — but the reunion gets off to an unforgettable start.

Abbey reveals the nightmare journey that almost stopped her family from making it to the US after an ESTA mistake at the airport. Things only get worse when Sophia accidentally says the one word you should never mention to American immigration officers, whilst an abandoned suitcase causes panic in passport control, their driver gives up and leaves without them, and Abbey ends up in tears after one disaster after another.

Meanwhile, Peter shares what it was like returning to the England camp during the World Cup to receive his Legacy Cap from Harry Kane, while the pair compare life in Portugal and New York, discuss why Americans might just be the friendliest people in the world, and debate whether Gas has picked up a suspicious new accent.

Elsewhere, a listener uncovers a bizarre Peter Crouch football collectible, Gaz explains how he ended up getting tattooed by Matty Healy from The 1975 in a Los Angeles sports bar, and Peter reveals that somewhere out there a fan still has his signature as a tattoo.

Plus, Abbey and Peter tackle two Agony Abs: one listener who's devastated after being excluded from her partner's best friend's wedding, and another asking whether long-distance relationships can ever really work. After spending weeks apart themselves, the pair have plenty to say...
