Summary

On this week’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Peter reveals his brand-new obsession that’s taken over his life—and it’s not football. Abbey fills us in on the family’s holiday, from chaotic poolside flamingo inflatables to witnessing the magical hatching of baby turtles on the beach.


Things get heated when Abbey nearly adopts a stray dog, much to Pete’s horror, and they relive a night out with a Netflix magician who pulled off the most mind-bending tricks they’ve ever seen.


The pair dive into your emails too—covering postcode pride, wedding guest dramas, and schoolyard beefs that never die. In the Agony Abs, Abbey and Pete offer their brutally honest advice to a listener whose boyfriend just can’t stop looking at other women, plus one whose dad is dating a woman younger than them.


And with back-to-school chaos looming, Abbey shares the reality of six suitcases’ worth of washing, labels, and a million pencil cases.

This episode is sponsored by TV licensing. So Pete, some cracking shows. Strictly's back. I'm always so excited to see the line up and I know it's been announced. I'm looking forward to see Jimmy Floyd Haselbank. I know, your pal. I would like to see him. And he's decent title player. But yeah, looking forward to see him on the dance floor. Do you think that he'll translate to the old ballroom? I don't know. I reckon he's got a bit. I reckon he could have a bit. So we're going to be rooting for Jimmy? Yeah, I think so. And also my favourite, my favourite thing to watch, now that I'm a tennis junkie. Now that you're on the tennis bandwagon. Tennis Banwagon. Yeah, US Open's on, isn't it? We haven't got long left at the open. It finishes on the 7th of September. I have been watching it over summer though. Yeah, it is good. Catching the highlights. Pete's actually joined a tennis club. I'm going to go for the senior store. So every day on holiday, Sophia's been playing and Pete's been playing with her. I've got the bug again. Yeah. And I think that mainly came from watching the US Open, really. Well, we've watched all of the tennis competitions. I've been this summer. I've enjoyed the US Open a lot. I've loved it. Strawberries and cream, sitting in front of the TV.

Okay, Pete, I've got a question for you. Who is the best boss you've ever had? Oh, I've had some great ones, but my old favourite is Harry Rednapp. Not me. You're not my manager. Why is that? Why, Harry? He signed me three times. He must have thought I've been doing something, right? Well, obviously, you were. You scored a hell of a lot of goals for him, but getting a job because you know the person doing the hiring. That happens all the time in football, doesn't it? Well, it's not like it's a normal job, is it? He wasn't looking through my CV and asking if he thought I had any transferable skills that I could bring to the first team. But now you mention it, it does happen a lot. I manage will know and trust his players and often bring them that in for that reason. Okay. Harry should do that a lot. Well, luckily it worked out well with you and Harry, but it happens everywhere, doesn't it? And not always with great results. I mean, when you put it like that,

2:17.6

Today's episode is brought to you by H&M and their new kids collection. Honestly, I blink and suddenly none of the kids' clothes for it anymore.

3:12.9

Trousers turning into shorts overnight.

3:16.2

And don't even get me started on what they actually want to wear.

3:18.6
