The Therapy Crouch

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...

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back for another Ask Me Anything, still separated by thousands of miles with Peter in LA covering the World Cup and Abbey holding the fort in Portugal.

The pair catch up on just how much they're missing each other, reveal when they'll finally be reunited, and answer the question everyone keeps asking about whether Portugal is now officially home.

Abbey also shares the latest update on her rescue kittens, including her slightly unconventional attempt at communicating with their mum by learning "cat language"… much to Peter's amusement. Meanwhile, Peter recounts one of the most ridiculous American food challenges he's ever seen, involving a giant sandwich, a professional eater and a technique that genuinely turns his stomach.

Elsewhere, the pair offer advice to one listener struggling to make friends in their twenties, discuss whether friendships naturally become easier later in life, and explain why men and women approach making plans so differently.

There's also a hilarious relationship dilemma after one listener's romantic fantasy exercise ends with perhaps the least romantic response imaginable, before the episode descends into complete chaos with one of the funniest drunken confessions ever sent into the podcast.

From mystery poos around the house to Peter revealing one of his mate's all-time worst drunken moments, it's a finale you'll never forget.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Peter and Abbey are back together from opposite sides of the world, with Pete still in Los Angeles covering the Club World Cup while Abbey holds down the fort in Portugal... and it's fair to say long distance is still bringing plenty of chaos.

The pair kick things off by catching up after time apart, with Peter showing off his questionable LA haircut before the conversation quickly spirals into expensive celebrity barbers, World Cup stories and Abbey receiving an unexpected history lesson on Maradona's infamous "Hand of God".

Elsewhere, Abbey opens up about a brand new parenting challenge as the couple navigate life with a 15-year-old daughter and the reality of teenage boys beginning to appear on the scene. They also tackle one listener's noisy partner, another whose role play was completely derailed by an overly committed builder delivering a full loft conversion quote, and revisit the legendary "lingerie crab" story after the couple write back with a surprising update... and some very happy news.

There's also a fiery renovation debate as Peter discovers more surprise bills arriving for their new house, admits his only contribution has been choosing the boilers, and accuses Abbey of going "knob shopping" without him.

Plus, Peter reflects honestly on life after professional football, why he rarely plays anymore despite still loving the game, whether they've already "peaked" in life, and why finding new passions has become more important than ever.
