Abby and Peter Crouch host an “Ask Me Anything” episode with listener questions, mixing banter with advice. A central theme is losing identity after motherhood—how parenting changes style, comfort needs, and self-expression. They also discuss dating/gender double standards (“player” vs “slag”), kids’ reactions to films, laser eye surgery, and various fun hypotheticals (Liverpool legend baby names, rudest animals, stopping crime).
No separate guests appear. Abby and Peter Crouch are the hosts. Listener questions come from multiple anonymous callers, including: a 28-year-old mum of two (ages 5 and 7) asking for fashion tips; “Big Al” asking about a 47-year-old granddad and dating double standards; “Kenny Dalglish” asking to rename kids after Liverpool legends; and others asking about Sardinia, nail color, laser eye surgery, and kids TV/films.
Moms often lose their sense of identity and feel pressure to dress “mumsie,” so they need easy, mix-and-match staples. Women face harsher labels for promiscuity than men. Laser eye surgery should be decided via consultation; it doesn’t stop aging.
Outfit strategy (cut jeans, vests/t-shirts, good jacket, trainers). Liverpool kid names (Amelia Paisley after Emlyn Hughes; Mo Shankly after Mo Salah/Bill Shankly). Lilo & Stitch described as emotionally traumatic for kids. Laser eye surgery discussed via Abby’s mum’s experience.

2:18Which means I'll set them up for the day. Deb funny and yours is boring as sin and puts them to sleep. So basically, what's your thoughts on slags? I'm not discussing that today. You've pleaded the Fourth Amendment on the freedom podcast. Big marketplace for the office, babe. Okay. Okay. We came to an awkward end, didn't we? Ask me anything. Hello and welcome to the Therapy Crouch, Ask Me Anything. with me, Abby Fancy. And me, Peter Crouch. Us, us, us. Us, babe, it's not me. Must remember us. Yeah. And our Ross. Hello. Hello and hello. Hello. You've been on the Bruce Martin. I'm delirious in here.
3:06What is that? It's hot at the moment, that's why. It's so hot. It is, it is. Nice to have. Nice. With barbecue weather, isn't it? Yeah. I've seen all your Shark Ninja stuff outside before, you've been having a couple of Barbies. that shark ninja bloody cooler box is phenomenal it's good isn't it well it's just you throw a bit of ice in it it actually stays cold yeah that is good especially like in this weather a cold drink is imperative I love cold there's such a vibe like a cold drink isn't it ice cold those Stanley cups are good for that I can't drink out of those things can't you I can't I don't like drinking out of any mine's got a straw in bottle I don't like the metal lining.
3:49I know what you mean about that. Tastes funny. I think there's something so mad about Stanley as a product. They were knives. And then all of a sudden they moved into cups. I don't think all of a sudden he's been doing it for years. Have they? They've always been cups. I've got no idea, but the cups certainly boomed in popularity, didn't they? They're quite inconvenient to hold. You can't put that in your bag. If it tips it upside down, it falls out. Well, I like I like mine it's a nice cold drink in the middle of the night to be fair they're definitely more friendly than knives anyway and the better for the environment I'd rather the kids have them than Stanley knives I like a glass I like a glass bottle do you like a coke coca cola oh yeah I like a coca cola and a glass bottle yeah I mean that's full fat yeah yeah yeah full fat full fat or diet I don't know I'm full fat yeah I think less of you if you go diet unfortunately It's because my mum's always had Diet Coke with a whiskey.
4:50Did you say diet? Diet Coke, yeah. I just don't get the Diet Coke. You're having Coke. Might as well have a full fat one. Yeah, yeah. But it makes your teeth feel funny, I think, like a full fat Coke. Fairy. Fairy on your teeth, isn't it? After a couple of them, yeah. College JD and Cokes. So do you want to ask me things? I'd love to ask you things. Okay, let's go. Loads I want to ask. Go on then. We need to help people and you need to ask me stuff. Okay, I'm asking. my horse is waiting for me the other man in my life hi guys regards to your family there's a lot of crossover between the two podcasts cross pollination as a relative new listener and subscriber who knew nothing about the pod till it was mentioned on Peter's pod that Peter Crouch podcast I just want to thank you for making the local dog walkers give me the most horrendously confused looks as I travel to work when I'm nearly crying with laughter.
5:48Therapy on the way to work and peep before bed. Sounds like my day. Therapy on the way to work and peep before bed. Which means I'll set them up for the day, dead funny and yours is boring as sin and put them to sleep. Is that the way you want to look at it? That's why I'm looking at it. Fair enough. But I would like to know how you feel about a 47-year-old granddad giving up on finding love because there are too many women players nowadays that are as bad as the males. Because girls, there's players too. I always claimed that the bad press that male players get makes it a hundred times worse for us genuinely.
6:27I want to know why he keeps calling himself a player. I think the use of the word player needs to go. That will help you find a date.
6:35Player? Cheats, I think is a better word. Players, I'm not so sure about. You say that though, he's a player. about good footballers? Yeah, he's a player. Yeah, he's a good player, that means. Like, I'm not saying... Player. He's a player. Player. Don't hate the game. Don't hate the player, hate the game. Sorry, I fucked that right up. But nowadays, there are just as many female players as male, but they don't get anywhere near the bad press. Can you explain this? Thanks from a new avid listener, Big Al. Big Al. Big Al. Big Al, Big Al. Which AL is in the word player. What? LA. They're two letters.
7:23Doesn't matter what way round. They are fucking Scott. Fucking Scott. Hey, loads of people backing me up on that Scott Therney, by the way. Loads of people. Have they? Yeah, loads of people. I wonder if there's loads of Rosses out there getting called Scott. And Scott's getting called Rosses. Really? Someone was being on our reviews, going to the reviews. Someone's broke it down. They're like linguist, the whole thing. And I'm onto something, basically. Yeah, I didn't deny it. What's the reason? They're quite similar names, basically. Scott and Ross. They are. It's mad, that, isn't it? I just don't think they are, no, dear.
7:50I can't get them around it. So, basically, what's your thoughts on slags?
7:59You can't say that.
8:06You're trying to laugh with your tongue in now. It's even worse than the tongue out. so you either do this and put the tongue off so hold on do you want me to enjoy myself I can't help what my face does when I laugh unfortunately your face is gorgeous it's a natural reaction to your face is lovely it's just the tongue start trying to laugh with it in that's even worse you're making yourself conscious about laughing though what can you do what can you do what can you do what can you do what can you do what can you do what can you do what can you do like the thing is when I laugh right you shouldn't be making me self conscious I should feel free to laugh you can you're free to do whatever you want.
8:41You're mugging me off though. I'm not mugging you off. I was just laughing at it briefly. That's a top gag that, mate. Come on. You can talk. You're a frigging silent laugh. I know, but I don't want you to change, yeah, because it looks funny now. Just laugh normally. You're making me self-conscious about my laugh. As if you're self-conscious. Well, you're making me feel, I don't feel self-conscious. I didn't until just now. Just laugh normally now. Don't do that. Okay.
9:18Variety is the spice of life One may argue He's saying there's too many girls Who don't want to settle down They're playing the field The males get a worse rap from the females Than the females get from the males The female of the species Is more deadly than the male I feel like women get it harder time if they are promiscuous than the male like you know like a bachelor player like you say that means a man to me is a player which is a positive adjective whereas with a woman you say she's promiscuous you're a slag which is a negative adjective isn't it absolutely yeah and they get they get a bad rip for it like where some fellas would be seen as a it's like a good thing yeah like a legend yeah whereas sugar how many have you slept with 100 oh what a lad but i think basically that everything's evening up isn't it i think yeah it's more acceptable now for a female to be doing what they want to do yeah i would say so in that department yeah well yeah it's not i don't think it's i mean you know there's plenty of women chatting about it i mean you know some of the language coming out of these ladies on the radio.
10:33Couldn't quite believe it. Couldn't quite believe it. I had Nicki Minaj on the radio. Couldn't believe it. Yeah. Absolute disgrace. Yeah, it is. It really is. It actually is. Well, my little girl singing, I was like, no, no, no. Well, that's what I mean. So like the rappers of our generation, you know, NWA, Snoop Dogg, Dre, absolute filth. But now the ladies are saying it, which is kind of what I'm saying is that if things are equaling up yes I think life's too short you should do what you're happy do what you want to do and no one should it's not my vibe to be a player too old anyway I'd actually like to be I'd actually like to be a player not in that sense but like no you know you know what I mean like desirable desirable is the word I mean Yeah you're a bit of a dog Yeah but you just get You know how I'm mum now No A big marketplace for milfs babe
11:40Okay Okay to an awkward end didn't it This is a big market for milfs Deadly serious as well Don't worry about it babe It's a big marketplace for milfs Deadly serious we both look at each other yeah there is actually yeah okay let's move on next question hi Abbie and Pete Ross long time listener to the pod please keep me anonymous it's all usually good these I'm a 28 mum of two aged five and seven oh gosh in that same marketplace I was talking about and would appreciate some fashion tips from Abbie she's always looked so lovely and being a mum herself will understand when I say I want style It's not comfort and easy to wear.
12:27Yes. Having young kids, I don't have much time. It's actually quite hard to nail. You've got a lovely outfit today. It's not comfy and easy to wear. I can't breathe around my waist. I'm sweating to death. Pants are stuck right up my bum. Better look gorgeous. You look great, sweetie. I've got a penis. You have got a penis, yeah. It looks great, though. It's really hard to nail that because when you've had a baby, your body's not the same. takes time to get yourself back to normal i feel like you also lose a bit of your identity as well and you feel like when you're a mum you should be dressing yeah a bit more mumsie yeah a bit more mumsie when you shouldn't she said here she doesn't have much time in the morning to do full glam and spend ages picking outfits but if you could recommend some items that uh to suit everyone i feel as though these past years i've lost my sense of who i am yeah Yeah, you absolutely do.
13:18Being a parent. Ross and Pete, please feel free to add into this. I feel the same about this. It's like when you was taking me on a surprise date the other day and Pete was like, I envision you in something floral. I was like, what the fuck? Like, I literally wear black. What the fuck? A short, floral, flowy dress. No, I didn't say short. It was really hot and I didn't want you to be hot. I wanted something thin, flowy. Summer dress. Yeah, I was thinking of you. Like, I didn't want you to wear jeans. But I don't wear dresses, do I? Or, like, even shorts. I thought you might want to be loose. Kissy loose.
13:58Flowy. Which irritated the hell out of me. Yeah, I've never seen anyone get so angry about a surprise. Really? She's like, Pete, that's what I wrote down in my notes, actually. Sometimes I write things in my notes. I thought, I need to bring it up. But my phone's in the other room. I thought, what was it? And it was that. it was the fact that you got angry that I was doing a surprise for you. Even though she goes mad at me for not being spontaneity. Having spontaneity. I couldn't say spontaneous. Spontaneity.
14:30Continuity. You said continuity. You said spontaneity. I fucked it. Whatever that is. Spontaneous. Spontaneity. So you have a go at me for that, for not doing that. So I do it and then I get a shout out. that. So you let me know how I can not get shouted at by trying to be spontaneous. Spontaneous. By trying to be spontaneous I'm getting a bit of grief. Talk me through it. I'm not discussing that today. What? You're fucking not under arrest. Shut the fuck up and get back in your box. I will not be discussing this today. pleaded the fourth amendment on the podcast can't just say that to me I'm deciding not to answer that why can't I it's outrageous I can't bring up a gripe and you say I've refused to answer that are you messing?
15:32that's what you do to me on a daily basis I'm not talking about this right now got me there absolutely bang to right you always do it um yeah going back to this sorry yeah going back to this lady i think it's really hard you do lose your identity you do want something easy to wear throw on still look stylish be comfy yeah which is what i struggle with like because i often buy like stupid things like hot pants like when am i ever going to wear them i think the key is to go through your wardrobe get rid of all the stuff give it to charity put it on ebay whatever you want to do and have like 10 outfits or even five outfits that are mix and match easy to wear you need all your staples in there again it's easier said than done so she's got she's got kids five and seven similar to ours we've got six and seven yeah um dropping the kids off at school and you've got to go various places running a few errands talk us through one give us an outfit well i'm i i do my school running jobpers usually and my riding boots gym gear is acceptable I think gym gear is great I love putting my gym gear on it's comfortable if you're meeting your friends for lunch I'd invest in some good cut jeans some basics little vests and t-shirts a great jacket like everyone wears like trainers with everything like my brother was so impressed with my trainer collection very trendy Andy.
17:04Yeah, you've got some serious trainers. Yeah, you are looking good. You are looking good in your trainers. Your trainer game's good. Well done. No, it is good. You're like insane today. I don't know. Normally, I would associate trainers with like boys. It's like a boys thing, isn't it really? A bit more like... Yeah, but I'm quite boyish. No, but I feel like that was the thing. I used to wear like a lot more kind of shoes and stuff. A lot. Like that's... I reckon the last two years you've gone all in on trainers. Yeah, but that's because I've got so many kids and you're just running around and, you know, it's acceptable to wear now.
17:40But a lot of the trainers... It's probably a bit of midlife crisis here, isn't it? Yeah. There's blue Sambas on anyway. I love the blue ones. Yeah, I know, they're close. I feel like you were ahead of the game. You'll get a pair of trainers and I'll go, I'll rip you for them. Well, I... And then I'll go... I actually feel like I... I'll go, everyone's wearing them. I actually feel like I was wearing Sambas before they came out again. That's what I mean. Yeah, you were. You bought your nice pair of trainers wedges the other day, didn't you? Wedges? Where did you get them from? Amazon? Sports Direct.
18:11Amazon. I used to get given trainers every year, you know. Yeah. By when I was a footballer. Good old days. Got a bar on my own now from Sports Direct. Do you say that's 15? Five 15s. And these zeros, they are. They're fantastic. I haven't seen them. Highly recommended. they're really comfy aren't they so comfy but are they like chunky like a wedge yeah but I'm scared you're going to break your ankle in there I'll swallow you no well I'm taller but like I like because I want because of his corn he needs it's not because of my corn because no I'm doing like sport like if I play paddles he needs a cushion no I'm not being rude I know I know it's just funny the way you said it I've got bad corn yeah corn blasters on Peter I get it cut out every month oh god it's con yeah she could get down to FNF and get my collection because there's loads in there the jeans are insane stretchy comfy thin loads of great t-shirts there's a few jackets in there that FNF collection I have to say like I'm just it sounds like I'm bigging it up and I am but thank you baby it is really good that is you look lovely in that yeah it was good well it was a festival collection but I don't think it's limited to festivals there's so many nice clothes yeah and the quality is good because I'm not like huge I'm fast fashion but I think you know the quality is there and especially for her mum she can go and do food shopping and then get her outfits at the same time well if she looks half as good as what you did in it babe that would be worth doing okay hey guys we're just going to take a quick break while you hear from our sponsors and remember if you're liking what you're hearing hit that follow button and if you can be bothered leave us a review because we love reading them don't we think?

30:39I've never ever wanted like rosy animals like that. I think little mice are cute. I wouldn't want one, but they are quite cute. I couldn't imagine a snake being very nice. Oh, fuck, I hate snakes. Snakes in the grass. Can't imagine like a mozzie being nice. No. Mosquito. It feels like it's always on the attack. Yeah. What wasps? What wasps? But that's like aggressive, not like rude. I think dolphins would be lovely. Yeah. I'd love elephants would be nice to speak to you wouldn't they gentle yeah yeah but are we confusing like you know predators for you know because you could be a predator and still be nice to have a shark yeah like a lion it'd still be nice to have a shark I reckon a lion would be nice and he's a predator a tiger a puma strong yeah strong and I see like a lion like the dad who looks after everyone and he's authoritative and you know got everyone's back gone deep on this question yeah it's an interesting one and what was the other one?
31:39I enjoyed it who shaped your life? I've had managers parents are obviously you know big influence some yeah some managers teams and things like that I've probably shaped my own life yeah I'm my own best friend yeah don't really feel I've had that many people of influence do you know what I mean? yeah very kind of strong-willed in that way no I think I think what influences me and makes me want to be better and do better is like you and the kids I think you're I was thinking each other for you for 20 years is a long time isn't it yeah I think you're probably I've been one of the strongest influencers in my life yeah when I think about that I think about like my kind of thinking back to childhood but if I actually think about like now then it would be you yeah you're mine I think I kind of anything I'm not sure about doing Even when you've got our opinion.
32:35Yeah. Because even growing up, I feel like my views, and not morals is the wrong word, are different from my parents. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We have different... Outlooks on things and perspectives. Different outlooks and perspectives. Like my dad's like quite old school. I feel like I make up my own mind, and the people who shape me are my friends and yourself and my kids. Good answer. Good answer, babe. do you ever find yourself getting emotionally invested in kids TV shows or films I'm a very proud father to a gorgeous three year old and rapidly becoming a Paw Patrol devotee also any recommendations would be greatly appreciated I mean we've been through four sets of like cartoons like that you know I mean we started on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was Sophia's favourite Mickey Mouse Clubhouse lived like the Gruffalo didn't she used to Gruffalo's child I like those ones yeah thank God we used to watch that like 10 times a day yeah easy yeah do you remember sophia on that um what was that psychedelic one um pinky punk and ninky nong oh yeah um whoa it's like what's that called again midnight garden in the night garden do you remember we went to watch the live show yeah magic mushroom it's like that whoa the pinky bong um or the porcupines whatever they're called the porcupines what did the kids like the boys um well they we had Peppa Pig for a while we had what's that for dinosaur um um Jurassic Park Jurassic World Jack was obsessed with dinosaurs Jurassic World Jurassic World they like little lunch but I took all the I told you I took the kids to see Lilo and Stitch.
34:22Yeah. Was it good? The kids are traumatised. They don't want to step foot in the cinema ever again. Why? Because it was that sad. Sad? Sad. Beyond belief. Did you go? No, I didn't go. I rang them, right? And every single kid was crying. But not even crying, like... Shut up. Abby was crying. Abby was in peace. It didn't have a happy ending? It had a happy ending, but it was fricking traumatic. That's good, though. Great film. It's too sad. What? It's too sad. What? It's traumatising. I would not recommend children to go and watch that. Go away. No. I think... I wouldn't watch it though. Even the lessons throughout it are very harsh and I don't really feel like kids should know all that stuff.
35:11So... The moment Dad died in a car crash for a start... Straight off the bat. Well, anyone knows that if you're a Lilo and Stitch fan. Okay. So she's brought up by... I'm not really babe she's brought up by a sister and there's just consistent threats of social services taking the kid away and then there's she's got no friend she's being bullied she's being laughed at then their bloody house burns down then so many bad things just happen and the pain of relationships and love and rejection and loneliness it's just fucking that's not all your stick to Port-au-patrol yeah unbelievable that wow it's just but my kids are terrified of the cinema now terrified that is bizarre wow but yeah I mean answer the question you do get sucked into it don't you oh yeah because we've we've put like kids movies on and then the kids have left the room we've carried on watching them yeah yeah the whole Harry Potter thing that's fabulous to get into with the kids yeah like Toy Story the Despicable Me ones I'm a huge fan of Madagascar Trilogy.
36:23Fantastic, isn't it? Yeah. Madagascar's right up there. What do I like? I like them big. I like them big. That's funny. I like Sing. I like Sing. Sing. Sing. One and two. Brilliant. Sing's incredible. Yeah. That's what it does with the feelings. It's too sad inside out. The emotions, is that that one? There's some cracking. They're good because they're kind of layered, aren't they? There's kids stuff and adults stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keeps everyone entertained. Fun for all the family. Yeah, really good. Okay, hi, Abby, Pete, and Tudor Bob Ross. Firstly, love the pod. You've become one of my emotional crutches through difficult times, so thank you.
36:58Quick question for AMA. Do you think laser eye surgery is a good idea? Or no, anyone who has had it done? Yeah. My eyesight has been terrible, and I hate how I look in glasses, and I'm thinking of taking the plunge. The cost isn't as much of an issue for me, but rather the fear of going blind, they mess it up. And I don't think you guys look like yourself with yours, but would you get it? Firstly, are you calling me old? Yeah. No, I think my mum's had it done. Yeah. And she - Did she get it done twice? I don't know. I think she did, yeah. But she, no, she's loved it but it doesn't stop the aging.
37:34Yeah. Of the eye. I think you might have to get it done. Don't quote me on this, but numerous times. But what I always found remarkable is that the surgeons, this surgeon had like five pairs of glasses on. Do you know what I mean? And I'm like, why don't you do it if it's that good? But he said this particular surgeon was like, he's got the opposite of long-sighted or short-sighted. So his eyesight, whilst it's wrong, is perfect for when he's doing his operations. Oh, okay. So that's why he hadn't done it. But they do one eye at a time, just in case. Do they? Is there a room? Like, I heard something, though, that sometimes you have one problem and then they correct that problem and you get the other problem.
38:15You know, whether it's short-sighted, if you can't see short, you can see short, but then you can't see long. Yeah. I don't know if that's true or not, but that's what I heard. I don't know enough about vision impairments because we've both got good eyesight. Although I do get those black floaters all the time. Yeah, I get that. Not all the time, but sometimes, yeah. What is that? I think it's until your blood or something like that, isn't it? Blood vessels? I honestly don't know. I'd be lying if I've made something up. I don't think any of us know anything about the situation, really. Yeah, yeah.
38:44The thoughts of getting laser ice age to make is just like scary. Laser and eye. I couldn't even put a contact lens in my eye. You know the way, like Halloween people wear coloured contact lenses? The thought of putting a contact lens in my eye petrifies me. But I, glasses, I love glasses. I think they look gorgeous. I think they can do. I look a little bit like Jürgen Klopp. You do, yeah. He's quite fit Jürgen, actually. He used to have, he used to have them later, doesn't he? He doesn't wear them anymore, does he? No. and he had a slasher done as well didn't he I like glasses I don't mind glasses you see them thanks especially if you get a good pair you can get like trendy pairs can't you yeah laser eyesight yeah for me personally even if I had bad eyesight I would wear glasses I think if I'm being honest it's the last result I think if you're really really struggling with it definitely get a consultation don't consult us over it yeah get a consultation because the thing is like it's a necessity for some people some people are like yeah yeah and also like contact she doesn't like wearing glasses for whatever reason contact lenses they do add up like Anna wears them every month she's paying she worked it out it's like you know 100 or 150 per month do you not get them on NHS?
39:55I don't think no she she pays for hers because it's a cosmetic thing isn't it really you can get glasses on the NHS you can get glasses on the NHS you can get glasses on the NHS yeah but that's like a cosmetic thing isn't it because you don't want to be you don't want to wear the glasses ooh so you think about over a year would she get eye surgery? she wants it yeah laser Kelly had it done as well. She changed her life. Your mum had the worst eyesight I think I've ever seen on a person. She used to have that text on her phone, didn't she? She had one word on the screen. And then her eyesight just went back to 2020, wasn't it?
40:26What changed your life? Pros and cons. Seek professional advice on that one, sister. Yeah, agreed. Okay, last one. Firstly, thanks to all three of you for answering a debate. my question regarding Peter choosing golf football or taking abs on safari. So if you could stop any crime in the world from ever happening again, what would it be? Here's the catch though. You have to commit the crime yourself just once for it to be no more. Not such an easy decision now. Thanks for the funniest podcast out there. Well, that's not a funny question. That's awful because obviously the obvious would be like anything to do with children.
41:06Yeah. Neglect, abuse. Until I heard the second part. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Meh. Yeah, with a count of, like, child neglect, we could just leave our kids at home alone for three days, go on holiday. That is a good angle to be fair. And then eradicate. And then eradicate that. Yeah. God, what a good, that's a good show. Although we do have to leave our children at home on their own. Yeah, but which is impossible. You come back and be like, home alone. oh that's a talent no no thieving maybe robin well that's a dud question because that's not going to happen because everyone would want to fix anything to do with kids but you're not going to harm kids i don't like that question i'm not going to i'm not going to answer it fair enough okay thanks for listening
41:58just so you know on the AMAs we might not answer your questions if we don't feel like like I took the fourth amendment earlier that doesn't make sense that doesn't make sense does it that question it's not meant to make I think it's just a trick teaser it's like if you if you could eradicate one crime yeah but you could murder but then you could kill a really bad person wouldn't you and then no one else would get murdered if you think about it well yeah I'd do that would you kill Hitler do you know what I mean and then murder rather cases yeah kill someone that deserves it yeah yeah I'll say murder then it's just fucking it's that some circle yeah I'm not answering that murder it's murder alright well listen thanks for your questions loved it you've got a horse to ride I've got a horse to ride and we'll see you next time well

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it’s another chaotic and hilarious Ask Me Anything with Abbey and Peter. From “MILF marketplaces” to fashion for knackered mums, no topic is off-limits. Abbey dishes out down-to-earth fashion advice for mums who’ve lost their style mojo, while Pete valiantly attempts spontaneity and fails hilariously.
There’s debate over the rise of the “female playa,” why cats are definitely the rudest animals, and an in-depth naming session of their kids after Liverpool legends. Plus, the great Diet Coke vs. Full Fat Coke debate rages on, and one listener makes the gang cry-laugh with a mysterious message about… “laying bricks.”
It’s messy, it’s mad, it’s very much The Therapy Crouch.
