The Therapy Crouch

We've taken over a friends studio for another episode of The Therapy Crouch! Pete has unveiled a brand-new moustache just in time for November, and let’s just say Abbey is far from impressed. From brutal roasts about whether it suits him to Abbey discovering a BBC study revealing that pet dogs are actually cleaner than men's facial hair, domestic harmony is truly hanging by a thread. The couple dive headfirst into the madness of Halloween preparations, debating proper etiquette around trick-or-treating, disastrous past outfits, and whether sexy costumes have gone entirely too far. Plus, Pete defends an emergency essentials trip to Decathlon, while Abbey questions why it's treated like a day out. Elsewhere, we hear wild celebrity trick-or-treating tales, discuss the logistics of couples costumes, and unpack an outrageous Agony Abs dilemma involving neighbourhood candy feuds and petty payback.

On this Ask Me Anything, Pete and Abbey are back tackling your wild Ask Me Anything dilemmas, from university pranks taken to sickening extremes to Pete getting completely stitched up with Deep Heat in the Stoke City changing rooms. Plus, Abbey exposes Pete's questionable choice of romantic bedroom music and the horrors of getting hammered together on date night.

In this episode, the debate turns to relationship red flags when a listener asks how to save a best mate whose partner is alienating everyone, leaving Pete and Abbey to discuss whether you should ever tell a friend you hate their other half.

We also tackle the return from an epic bedroom dry spell, how to rebuild confidence when things get awkward, and Abbey’s horror at Pete’s seduction tactics.

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.

On 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.

We'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.
