"He's A Scumbag!" Abbey & Pete Tackle Scandalous Workplace Romance Drama!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are joined once again by Abbey’s best friend Liberty, who is putting the pair through their paces with the ultimate wine tasting!Armed with bottles ranging from brilliant £9 bargains to alternatives for wines that can cost hundreds of pounds, Liberty attempts to teach Abbey and Pete everything they need to know about choosing a good bottle, pairing wine with food and, most importantly, how to look like you know what you’re doing when the sommelier comes over.The gang discover why cheese can completely change the taste of champagne, whether expensive wine glasses actually make a difference and the sneaky trick that can make your £9 bottle look considerably more impressive when you have guests round. Liberty also reveals why you shouldn’t always go for the biggest name on the wine list and why a great bottle doesn’t necessarily need to cost a fortune.Things inevitably become slightly less educational as the tasting continues, with Pete forgetting one of the fundamental rules of wine tasting, Abbey admitting she is officially “battered” and the trio debating everything from wine hangovers and £500 restaurant bottles to whether putting ice in your wine is ever acceptable.There’s plenty of food along the way too, as Liberty shares some simple tips for entertaining at home before Abbey and Pete crown their favourite wines of the day – assuming they can still remember what they’ve tried!If you want to submit an Agony Ab to the podcast - hit the link belowhttps://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKDST4HU_8al_aWpOlys3TRJrWvDV-84piVdlOOjU4/edit00:00 Introduction01:15 The Wine Tasting Begins02:34 Abbey’s Favourite Drink04:15 The Perfect Wine & Food Pairing06:22 Pete Takes On The Red Wine07:08 How To Look Like A Wine Expert08:35 The £15 Wine Bargain10:00 Simple Food For Entertaining11:10 The £9 Italian Wine13:01 Why Restaurant Wine Costs So Much15:00 How To Make Cheap Wine Look Expensive15:42 The Truth About Wine Hangovers17:35 The £500 Bottle Problem18:00 Liberty’s Superstar Red Wine20:38 The Tasting Starts To Take Its Toll21:03 Pete’s Wine Tasting Technique21:40 How To Spot An Expensive Bottle24:03 “Christmas In A Glass”25:27 The Perfect Wine Night At Home26:29 Do Expensive Glasses Matter?28:08 “I Am Battered”29:42 Should You Put Ice In Wine?31:19 The Perfect Wine Pairing31:43 Abbey & Pete Pick Their WinnersTo contact us:Email: [email protected]: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouchWebsite: https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are joined by one of Abbey’s oldest and closest friends, Liberty, for an episode packed with stories from their years of friendship, celebrity encounters and more than a few questionable decisions.Liberty reveals how she first met Abbey during her modelling days and recalls being caught in the middle of one of Abbey and Pete’s biggest arguments just before the birth of Jack – including the moment Abbey decided Pete was no longer invited to the hospital!We also hear the incredible story of how Liberty and her husband discovered a young Ed Sheeran, who promptly moved onto their sofa and seemingly refused to leave, as well as Liberty’s years styling some of his biggest music videos. And if that wasn’t enough name-dropping, Liberty reveals the extraordinary encounter at a Cannes party that left her being told she was “too ugly” to be in the presence of Leonardo DiCaprio – and how she got her revenge years later.Abbey and Liberty also look back at their wildest nights together, including a missing Range Rover, a £4,000 bottle of wine and plenty of stories Pete probably wishes he’d never heard.Elsewhere, Liberty reveals the fitness change that completely transformed her body, shares her cooking and wine knowledge, talks about meeting Chris Hemsworth and introduces us to her seven rescue dogs – including the Belgian Malinois who decided to eat part of her Aston Martin.And in the Agony Abs, the gang tackle a listener worried that she looks nothing like her husband’s “type”, debate their ultimate celebrity hall passes and hear from a woman whose newly single mum appears to be getting a little too comfortable with her husband.If you want to submit an Agony Ab to the podcast - hit the link below https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKDST4HU_8al_aWpOlys3TRJrWvDV-84piVdlOOjU4/edit00:00 Introduction 01:24 How Abbey & Liberty Became Best Friends 02:25 Abbey Bans Pete From Jack’s Birth 04:58 Liberty Takes On A Barrister 06:03 Owning A Restaurant With Ed Sheeran 06:46 Pete’s Hot Air Balloon Disaster 08:47 How Liberty Discovered Ed Sheeran 11:10 Styling Ed & Celebrity Stories 13:05 Liberty’s Leonardo DiCaprio Story 14:48 Getting Older & Feeling Invisible 16:33 Wine, Sommeliers & A £4,000 Mistake 19:33 Abbey’s Missing Range Rover 21:36 Liberty’s Fitness Transformation 23:31 Liberty’s Cooking Secrets 26:53 Meeting Chris Hemsworth 29:47 Liberty’s Seven Rescue Dogs 35:36 Agony Abs: My Husband Has A Type 38:40 Abbey & Liberty Talk Hall Passes 39:03 Agony Abs: My Mum Wants My Husband?! 41:24 Nashville Plans & Part TwoTo contact us: Email: [email protected] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peter https://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbey https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Pete are back in the UK—squatting in their own garage amidst full-blown house renovation chaos! The sun is shining, the garden veg is thriving, but Pete’s weekly whine is off to a rocky start thanks to hay fever, pond-side seating, and heatwaves. Pete opens up about getting stitched up in the Hamptons when he traded doing his famous robot dance for making Abbey sing Lady Gaga’s Shallow completely sober in front of 200 people! Meanwhile, the guys discuss restaurant etiquette—specifically, whether you’ve ever had the guts to send a bottle of wine back after a sommelier incident involving sulfur notes and raw cabbage. In this week's Weekly Whines, we hear from a listener worried he’s turning "too femme" for his wife after getting the ICK for sunbathing face down, ordering a 'Pink Innocence' mocktail in a massive fishbowl, and getting heavily into yoga and meditation. Plus, Abbey and Pete kick off their epic 90s vs 2020s Nostalgia Battle! From Panda Pops vs Prime, WKD & Bacardi Breezers vs Espresso Martinis, to Gladiators vs Love Island, and buying physical CDs vs hijacking each other's Spotify accounts—we settle what was truly elite.

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.If you want to submit an Agony Ab or Ask Me Anything question to the podcast, hit the link below:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKD...00:00 - Welcome back to another NYC Ask Me Anything00:35 - Abbey admits she doesn't want to be a single parent01:02 - Peter jokes about week-on, week-off parenting01:38 - Listener asks Abbey for labour and birth advice02:20 - C-section vs natural birth and preparing for labour02:52 - Peter completely misunderstands oxytocin03:24 - Did Peter help... or annoy Abbey during labour?03:40 - Why all of their births were carefully planned04:12 - Abbey explains why football dictated delivery dates04:34 - Peter's biggest labour wind-up revealed05:06 - Nando's, pizza and making a starving Abbey jealous05:28 - Peter praises Abbey after giving birth06:12 - Would Abbey have another baby?06:34 - Sienna Miller, older mums and Rice Krispies jokes06:46 - Listener's hilarious drunk son confession07:05 - Climbing into mum's bed completely naked07:32 - The missing phone makes the story even worse08:13 - Abbey and Peter react to the unbelievable confession08:52 - Is having loads of bedroom mirrors a red flag?09:18 - How long is too long to stare at yourself?09:46 - Abbey admits her brother loves his reflection10:10 - Are men actually more vain than women?10:41 - Love Island, gym culture and mirror habits11:00 - Peter's hilarious opinion of himself11:15 - Abbey exposes Peter's naked golf swing routineTo contact us:Email: [email protected]:  / thetherapycrouchpodcast  TikTok:  / thetherapycrouch  Website:https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peter  / petercrouch  For more from Abbey  / abbeyclancy  Our clips channel   / @thetherapycrouch-clipsch-om9dy   Hosted on Acast.

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...If you want to submit an Agony Ab or Ask Me Anything question to the podcast, hit the link below:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKD...00:00 - Abbey and Peter are finally reunited in New York00:52 - Peter reflects on the World Cup and his Legacy Cap02:20 - Abbey says goodbye to her rescued kittens02:45 - The ESTA mistake nearly ruins the trip to America03:22 - Sophia almost gets into serious trouble at US immigration04:12 - Why saying "gun" at airport security causes panic05:02 - The abandoned suitcase sparks fears06:15 - Watching England at the World Cup abroad07:05 - Recording The Therapy Crouch in noisy New York07:53 - Abbey praises the Heathrow staff member who saved their trip09:05 - Peter's favourite American cities and friendliest people11:18 - The best food they've eaten in New York12:50 - Abbey reveals the Crouchy football doll their kids completely destroyed16:08 - Gaz reveals his Matty Healy tattoo story17:45 - Peter someone has his signature tattooed on someone18:54 - Agony Ab: Not invited to your partner's best friend's wedding20:23 - Abbey and Peter debate whether the wedding snub is acceptable21:13 - Long-distance relationships put to the test22:17 - Abbey and Peter admit distance brings out the worst in them23:20 - Why their relationship only works when they're together24:07 - The episode ends with playful bickering and declarations of loveTo contact us:Email: [email protected]:  / thetherapycrouchpodcast  TikTok:  / thetherapycrouch  Website:https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peter  / petercrouch  For more from Abbey  / abbeyclancy  Our clips channel   / @thetherapycrouch-clipsch-om9dy   Hosted on Acast.
