We're back in the barn for another Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch!

Pete and Abbey kick off with temporary rented accommodation with a festive debate over when it's socially acceptable to put up the Christmas tree, why Pete wants retro 80s coloured lights, and the tragic childhood realisation of hearing Santa fall down the stairs drunk. Things quickly heat up when Abbey defends the lost art of the wolf-whistle, only to deliver a swift threat when Pete asks if he's allowed to whistle at anyone himself.

The pair also dissect modern slang phrases that put their teeth on edge, from "it's giving" to "I'd die on this hill," while Pete exposes his bizarre remote control superstition where the volume can never, under any circumstances, sit on the number 13—even in other people's houses.

Plus, an Agony Ab listener discovers her wedding date lands right on the launch of GTA 6 after her fiancé requested a week-long gaming quarantine, another listener realizes she's been kept a secret partner for six months, and Pete challenges Abbey to the ultimate test: not interrupting him while he speaks at half speed.

On this episode of The Therapy Crouch, Pete and Abbey are back with home renovation rows as Pete questions whether flying to Florence just to look at an artisan cooker counts as an extravagant holiday. The food talk rolls on with Abbey testing Scouse dialect theories on ChatGPT, declaring northern Chinese takeaway chips superior, and defending the sacred weekly ritual of a chippy tea.

Then, internet legend Big John Fisher and heavyweight boxing powerhouse Johnny Fisher (The Romford Bull) enter the barn. John shares his rapid rise from cheese delivery vans to viral social media sensation, dropping nearly seven stone with Eddie Hall, and the unwritten laws of ordering takeaway for a massive family.

Johnny opens up about the reality of heavyweight camp, navigating career shifts, and what really happens behind closed doors in big fight negotiations. Plus, the gang tackles an Agony Ab about over-enthusiastic parents shouting from the touchline, and Abbey explains why she is strictly barred from spectating her kids' tennis matches.

We're back in the barn for another episode of The Therapy Crouch!

Pete and Abbey kick off with the harsh realities of their ongoing home renovation, complete with building delays, rising costs, and mice moving into the attic before they can. Abbey explains her latest obsession with a vibration plate for lymphatic health, while Pete wonders if anyone genuinely lies on their deathbed regretting never running a marathon.

The conversation spirals into futuristic tech paranoia, childhood discipline, and classic school memories. Between Abbey’s terrifying nun-run Catholic school encounters and Pete getting pinged in the head by chalk-armed science teacher,.The pair also debate whether dissecting mice in biology class was actually real or completely made up.

Plus, Abbey teases an energy-draining party trick she mastered in Norway, and we tackle an Agony Ab from a Durham uni student who got caught saying the unthinkable right in front of his dissertation lecturer.

We're back in the barn for another episode of The Therapy Crouch!

Pete and Abbey are back and things quickly derail when Gaz struggles to hide his iCloud images, accidentally flashing Abbey and Pete with old embarrassing MySpace-angle selfies to the entire studio. It’s peak Crouch chaos, proving that even after hundreds of hours on camera, GDPR is still a completely foreign concept in the barn.

To celebrate a massive 200 episodes of the podcast, we are taking a trip down memory lane, reflecting on the evolution of the show, dishing out awards for our favourite moments, and bringing back a very special edition of Weekly Wines—comparing a lavish £30 Pinot Noir to a £2.99 bottle from the BP garage!

We also revisit the most chaotic guest appearances from Amanda Holden to Alan Carr, discuss the hilarity of playing 'Bonk Beats' like Family Guy in the bedroom, and dive into a Hall of Fame Agony Abs segment featuring the infamous interpretive crab dance and the legend of Race Day Jack!

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.

We'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.
