Abbey’s Off to Nashville! Hen Do Plans, Tattoo Disasters & Peter’s Worst Nightmare!

0:00Hi, this is Mark Bittman from the podcast Food with Mark Bittman. Have you ever considered how the smallest details can create real emotion? Lexus does. At Lexus, master craftsmen called Takumi are involved not just in physical craftsmanship, but in sensory details. Things like how a door closes, the click of a switch, the acoustic feedback of controls. Because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing. Experience amazing at your Lexus dealer.

If you know me, you know that my philosophy is all about looking good and feeling good every single day. And that honestly comes down to the first layer. I'm talking about bras. If your bra is digging into your shoulder, or maybe it's riding up in the back, or you are dying to take it off at the end of the day, then that bra is not the right fit. And what I love about Aerie is that they have 59 different sizes in really soft fabrics and really good fits.

2:14Because at the end of the day, your bra should hold you in and not hold you back. Visit Aerie.com to find the right bra and your perfect fit. I was so scared to say I had no knickers in my hands. So you've grown into boring bastards together? It's not boring. It's not boring. You won't believe what this twat did last night. He got it all wrong for three hours. Happy shagging.

2:42I'm not dead. I know I haven't got a dry fanny. Thank you, Davina.

2:50Hello and welcome to The Therapy Crouch with me, Abbey Clancy. Me, Pete Crouch. Me, Gaz. You're sounding a bit better, Pete. Slightly. I'm still a little bit Barry White. I think that might just be a hangover, though. Do you reckon? Yes. He did stay up with Scott last night. He went for a suit fitting because obviously my sister's wedding's coming up. Yeah, amazing. We actually go on the hen on Wednesday. Oh, my God. To Nashville. Oh, my God. But Pete did the suit fitting with all the lads yesterday and came home, or crawled home, should I say? These suit fittings are the ones, you know. Yeah, we've talked about this before.

3:24Just one giant piss-up, basically. Yeah, basically, yeah. We go there for like half an hour. M &S bespoke. It's a vibe, to be fair. Yeah, everyone got sorted with all the same suits. Going full on like black tie. There's a picture of Pete, though, because they had the guys helping them and the people on the jacket and it was like three-quarter way up his arm and the guy was like, yeah, that looks perfect. It looked like he had a kid's blazer on. But listen, it'll all be made to measure. It'll be very nice. Did everyone have underpants on? Yes. When we did our suit fit, and I wasn't there, but one of our groomsmen, our very good friend, Jason, he turned up to Peter's suit fit with no undies on.

4:06Oh, my God. Like, he had a thing where he never wore undies. He's living my dream, to be fair. And then they were like, obviously, you need to take your clothes off, put the pants on, get fitted, and he had no... He was like, you know, when they're about to, you know, right, okay, so put these on. He was like, we've got a problem here. I've got no pants on. I thought you can't sit in a super with no pants on who does that in general I did that in school though when I was a little girl I could never wear knickers with tights oh right okay I could only just wear tights no you stuff like the thick woolly tights kid and we had PE and they were like trying to make us get changed and I was so scared to say I had no knickers and I had no tights and why was it no was it because it's too constrictive when you put a tight on top I don't know it's just like multiple layers oh right It does feel like doubling up.

4:56I agree. I used to put my knickers over my tights actually. What? To keep them up. Like Superman. Biggest Superman. Throwing your pants over your tights. Literally. What a look that is. No one would see them because you'd have your school dress over. Yeah. But yet so... That was good anyway, yes. We went for a few beers after Super Finn. It's just an excuse really to go for a few beers. Yeah, I like that. That's what we did. But we're cutting it very fine. The wedding is on the 10th and we do not receive the suits till the 5th. You're joking, okay. So I'm having a heart attack about this. Oh God.

5:34I'm going to have to literally like bring a needle and cotton in case you need any. You're not dealing with that well, are you? No. What are you wearing, what colour? Oh my God, my sister, who's like the calmest chill person has literally been bridezilla because I'm like, what about this dress for Lib? I just get back a no in capitals I'm like can I get change in the evening now no you know she's very she's got a very very clear vision how this wedding is going to look and it's staying like that amazing I mean fair play has she AI generated everyone's outfits yes she has has she has she yeah no it looks amazing it's you know it looks better than what it's going to really look like because an AI version of me is so much better Are you going in multiple colours or is everyone wearing the same?

6:22So she's got nine bridesmaids. Wow. And we're all wearing the same dress. Nice, okay. Which is a beautiful dress, to be fair. I'm maid of honour. So I'm quite nervous. I've still got a lot to organise. You're going to do a speech? Speech. No, I'm not doing a speech. No. I don't think maid of honours do speeches, do they? Not traditionally, but it's changing now. The world's changing. Everyone's doing a speech these days. I'd rather not. I'm hoping to be really drunk by the time the speeches are coming. But we've got her, oh, Hendo. We've got her Hendo. This week we're going to Nashville. Oh, my God.

6:59We were supposed to go earlier on in the year. But I was ill, so I couldn't do it. And I thought she'd go without me, and she didn't. So 19 girls changed the whole trip, and we had everything booked. That's nice. So I'm so excited. But I've got Alfie on the phone. Like, Alfie's the only guy coming. he had his outfits planned the day we announced it and he's still going on about it. Like, I've got nothing to wear. And I'm like, I haven't done mine. We've got two outfits. Pete's not very happy about this hen. I can't believe the amount goes into the outfits. Yeah, because it's themed. So we're doing slags one night.

7:39Brilliant, brilliant. No, joking. So one night we're doing like an all black look with the black cowboy hat and we've got like, we're gonna go full tack. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a hend do. Lean into it. I'm probably too old to be carrying on like this, but you know, we're on the cusp. So we're doing a black outfit with Elle's last rodeo. And then one of the themes is coyote ugly. Oh, nice. And then the other one is like denim and diamonds. Oh, amazing. So all very cliche. I love it though. Everyone looks great. Everyone's gotten so much effort. Claire, our Claire, Yeah. has literally planned the whole thing.

8:15Has she? Yeah. she has just been incredible you know booking restaurants line dancing karaoke bar crawls you know it's gonna be cowboy strip show yeehaw swing your brunt Pete's so annoyed about this good luck can I enjoy it enjoy it responsibly we've signed Elle up to get teabagged on stage it's the option teabag you have to pay $20 you have to pay $20 extra that's amazing I don't want to see any tea bagging. I'm joking. Do you remember my butler in the buff? Have we talked about this before? I've not heard this story. So I didn't have a hen do because I was pregnant. So we did a kind of baby shower slash hen in Penny Hill Park.

9:00So it's like a spa. So while all the girls got pissed, I think I went for a massage, but we had a butler in the buff. Okay. And we did some various party games. We had to like pin some stuff on and Gaz had to like pin like a baby name to like his genital area. Oh, God. But it's stunk of the out. What the hell? His genital area. Stunk of like fish. Fuck. And she was like, I can't do it. What the hell? I can't do it. Fish. Fish. Fish. Don't normally associate that with a man's, yeah. What? Fish. Cats. Just traditionally speaking. Cats, what kind of girls do you know? Come on. God. Birmingham. Wow, Birmingham.

9:43It's a different world up there. You know, that's wild. BO and fish combined. Oh, God. We couldn't... It was like a pin the tail on the donkey kind of thing. He needs to get that checked out. But that didn't end well. That thing did it. It's like I got food poisoning. Did you? And I was about to... I thought my baby was literally going to come out my mouth because I was vomiting that much. And then Katie died. Oh my God, Katie the hamster. Thank God it's a hamster. I mean, I'm sorry for your loss. Yeah, I got home, like, got through the door, literally threw up a million times, thought I was going to go into labour, and then Sophia cuddled Katie to death.

10:26Pete was crying, I was crying, Pete was mouth to mouth to this hamster. The Russian dwarf hamster. I tried to give it CPR. CPR. It was about that big, a tiny little dwarf hamster. But she loved Katie. She cuddled it to death. Oh, bless. She wrapped it in a blanket and fell asleep. Aw. That night, Katie. I mean, there's worse ways to go, isn't there, on this planet? I think I'd like to be cuddled to death. I think that's all right. Anyway, good morning, guys. How are we? Good morning, good morning, good morning. Have you got any weekly ones for me? I have got a weekly one for you. We're four and a half hours in a car to Harrogate to go to this tile shop.

11:05La Pesita. Am I saying that right? La Pesita. I thought he was a defensive midfield player. but yeah we went there four hours there four and a half hours there six hours in the shop oh no decisions decisions no joke six hours in there oh god never seen everything like it and then four hours home four hours home after that oh no we stayed up I tried to entice Pete like you know let's have a romantic night away we stayed at what was it called Grantley Hall oh what a place oh my god what a place it's phenomenal and it's adults only for all you child haters out there. Yeah. It's good to know. So you did get your mucky night away in the end then, did you?

11:46Well, it was mucky because there was pizza all over the bed. We got so pissed and then got a pizza room service and sat in bed netted. So yeah, you could call it dirty.

11:57Yeah, it was like a beautiful place. It kind of, yeah, I made up for it. We had a few drinks. I was so upset that you left early the next morning. Pete got the train home because he had to go to the suit fit. so I had a breakfast for one before I went to the moulding factory and it was just the setting we watched the eclipse together did you? well kind of didn't really happen did it? well we just we had the glasses so you know Kaz was in total darkness in Mallorca she saw it from one of the best spots in the world I think it was there in Ibiza you're joking? no and she saw total darkness total eclipse it was kind of poor here I don't know I was raw dogging it it was the sky was so beautiful there up in Yorkshire and it did feel eerie it felt like you know where it's like really sunny and it's about to rain and the sky goes almost black and we had we stole some glasses of someone so we could watch it that's better than what I did I just looked at it and got a headache and then everything went grey I couldn't see properly for a while I thought you could I thought the whole point of an eclipse is that you could stare at the sun apparently you can't that's what I thought when I was trying to do that whole I saw everyone was doing like take a selfie with it in the background so to avoid looking in the direct light but I looked at the light obviously did you?

13:17Yeah loads we're still here aren't we do you ever get this thing when you sunbathe right and you take your sunglasses off but you shut your eyelids and then you open them about an hour later everything's the colours off I don't sunbathe do you not? no oh you must you'd love it darling no because I'm just constantly in Natalie Kelly trying to get this bloody pigmentation off me right so I can't go I don't go in the sun really okay it does a thing does it do to you Pete like the colour everything just looks a bit off yeah if you look into the side it's going to burn your retinol yeah but even through retinol even through your lid retinol is that right retina retina retinol is what you put on your face retinol retinol oh well that was close it was a good start but yeah that tile shop was just phenomenal I'll be honest with you I've given my wine but I actually did enjoy it it's an amazing there's some serious amazing tiles oh my god it's just so now if you go to a tile shop like B &Q or I don't even know any other tile shops but he has curated Topps Topps tiles he has curated the most incredible collection like the elegant the classy it's everything is exquisite isn't it oh it's incredible you could not the reason we were there for six hours because you physically couldn't make a decision oh really Because everything was exceptional.

14:38You know, there was no crap in there apart from one tile. Shock that Pete loved. Here we go. So it was a tile mural with toucans, frogs, snakes, coloured parrots. And Pete was like, oh, I love this. Do you think we could put this somewhere in the house? And everyone just went, no, Pete. Everyone. There was like loads of people there, like showing us around. And everyone was like, what? It sounds like a child's bedroom. They haven't got the vision, guys. Do you know what I mean? The vision. I know what you were thinking, but just no. It doesn't go with our colour palette. Was it like one massive tile?

15:19How did you fit all those animals on the tile? Was it lots of tiny little tiles? It was a big tiled mural. Maybe like four big... Four big kind of rectangles. Right, I see. But yeah, it's an amazing shop. There's tiles there for like 200 years. Imagine how much... 200 years old. He had a bath in there, which was 1.7 million pounds. And it was made out of petrified wood. It weighed over two tonne, more than two tonne. And it was 200 million years old. What? 200 million years. It's basically this wood, isn't it? Petrified wood, which kind of basically turns into stone. It sounds 200 million years old, I reckon.

16:00Oh, you'd want that, wouldn't you? That sounds like... 1.7 million for a bath. Think about how many people have bathed in that as well. of it's many years no they'd made it they'd made it out of the material so they had big blocks of marble like bigger than this sofa solid and they cut out sinks baths make them into tiles it's fascinating the process and they can get like pieces of stone that they they hammer and chisel and but just like the history of some of the stones like you'd see some of these reclaimed Italian tiles been dug up from like temples and the markings on it it'd be like this is where this had been you know if it comes with this kind of print, it had been in a heavy trafficked area or where rain was, so they'd have to chival it so it'd make it non-slip.

16:42Oh my God, of course, yeah. Like, think of the history. There's an artistry to all this, isn't it? Yeah, but the history, it was just... Am I boring everyone? No, I actually found it really interesting, just not for six hours. I think an hour and a half would have been great. There's something about northerners. They're just fab, aren't they? Like, even in the hotel, everyone's like, you all right, love? Oh, yeah. You know, everyone is just so nice. yeah oh it's amazing I love the north it's a shame about the weather if the weather was consistent like the down south I think it would be an amazing place to be and I had the most inspirational wee of all time so I had the loo I went to the loo and they had like so many different tiles on the on the wall and I was just like I can't cope in here I'm so excited I literally can't even wee I'm just so excited all these stones are just so gorgeous can you imagine getting so excited over tiles I know mate it's an absolute it's a fetish isn't it now in my defence like we're doing our house up we're still camping here, as you can see.

17:37Um, and it's, it's my dream. Yeah. And you know, it's, we've waited for a house like this our whole lives and we're, it needs to be perfect. And the fact that it's a Victorian home, we want to, you know, I was saying what would have been in this floor originally in this, what floor would have been here originally. And then I went to the Maldons place and they had the most unbelievable Maldons because obviously this house had been converted into like five flats and then a singular home but all the beauty has been stripped from the house. Yeah. So to try and put back in what would have originally been here and restore this house to its like natural glory.

18:18Yeah. It's amazing. But yeah everyone's glazing over, all these boys. No, I'm actually feeding off it. I actually, now I'm starting to like, think that could be an interesting thing. It's worth going up there. Yeah. La Pucida. La Pucida. They have got showroom in London as well in Pimlico. But there's only a percentage of what they've got. Okay. Like, you need to go and see, touch, feel, walk on it. I have my shoes off, walk in. Oh, what? It's like your Disneyland, that, isn't it? So excited. I need Martin. I'm going to take Martin with me next time, so do you? I thought I did pretty well. He's huffing and puffing.

18:51I was not huffing and puffing. See him doing this, and then he starts doing that thing where you pull your pants up like that, walk around, pacing. I'm just like... I wasn't doing that at all. I was very after about five hours you started doing that well I gave up after five hours did you tap out I just sat down on a tile I sat in the car for a little bit did you have a nap have you got wine for me just the fact that I'm huffing and puffing walking around a tile shop no I actually haven't got a wine I've got a shine I really appreciate you taking the time because I could have done that myself but I do want Pete to be involved in this renovation 100 % to some degree to some degree and and for arranging a nice date night together which we don't you know I think that was the first night we've been away from our kids for like a year a long time wow we we've not been apart at all have we no which is fine but you know it's nice to just be a couple yeah and have a date yeah it's lovely although we were very very underdressed going in this Grantley Hall what a beautiful place that is by the way the history behind that as well is phenomenal amazing I just quickly wanted to touch on you know we mentioned Elle's hen and usually on hens and stags people end up getting tattoos and things have you seen this guy sent in we are getting a tattoo are you apparently we're supposed to be getting a communal tattoo on this hen like the date or just like a little cowboy Elle's got a few tattoos she's got a pineapple behind her ear which bled and just looks like a black splodge she's got I think she's got she's bit by something she's got a date of date something like a fruit no not a fruit date an actual date oh right right didn't your friend get his birthday and it was like the wrong date or something yeah I think it's like the was it the 9th of November but he's got he's basically got 9-11 on his arm oh my god she's not ideal he hasn't actually a disaster on his arm yeah Scott my future brother-in-law he has got James Joyce tattooed the Irish writer poet yeah and he was in a bar once in Ibiza like with his top off and someone come over to him and was like you're going to have to put your shirt on like you're really offending everybody like this tattoo is the whole width of his arm yeah because they thought it was Hitler what?

21:30on his arm they thought he had a big tattoo of Hitler and he got told to put his top on and he was like it's fucking James Joyce what the fuck are you going on about? yeah so tattoo tattoo fails yeah does look a bit like that wow you really get a tattoo? well me and Lucy we're going to get a little inch a little inch? what written? no just like a measuring thing like a little inch that's nice that's like our Marta should I have a drink or just a little inch just a little inch should you want a little glass of champagne just didn't just a little inch go on I'll have a little inch well on tattoo successes have you seen this lad that sent this in Reid Nichols legend yeah but he must be but Roscoe's got one as well have we not got Roscoe yeah we talked about Roscoe yeah yeah he's got one although I've not seen this one before I wonder how many Reid Nichols what a legend he's got a tattoo of me saying he's big he's red his feet stick out of bed and I'm doing the robot on his thigh is he a Liverpool fan or a Stokey he's got a Stokes shirt on but why has he got a Liverpool theme tune that's true and actually you're in an England shirt isn't it so it's all kinds of that's not an England shirt that's a Stokes shirt is that your Stokes shirt no sorry no 24 what you're wearing fucking no bad no the one on his thigh it's you and your England shirt oh sorry I apologize that's alright 24 was that your number is that England no What is the kit then that he's got on you?

22:59That's an England kit? That was the England, yeah. That was the first roadblock I came with the bench. That's it. But didn't you have 24 on your top and 25 on your shorts? No, that was my first goal against Uruguay. I had 12 and 21. 12 and 21. How did that happen? 12 on the front, I think, and 21 on the back. I kept that shirt. Yeah? First ever England goal. And obviously the minute I've run on, the kit man's like, oh no. Like he's printed it the wrong way around. Did he get fired? Nah. He'd printed it the wrong way around. Yeah, so it's like 12 on the front and 21 on the back. I mean... But it was good because it's like sentimental to me, you know?

23:34Of course, yeah. It's my first thing out of Anfield as well. I've got no idea where it is. As anecdotes go, that's a great one, but imagine that was your only appearance in England's shirt and your one opportunity and you got it. It was pretty pretty. Do people have one appearance in England and that's it? Yeah. It's quite a few, yeah. One Cat Wonders. Really? Is that what they're called? Yeah. What are we going to do with all your shirts? because we've never really so over the years I've had a few Peter Shirts framed and various things in our first house you had the in Weybridge you had them in your office didn't you but then we didn't have we haven't kind of do you want like a football shrine in here?

24:14Not really no I think the office is just like little things like you know trophies maybe a few caps this and that Audience wines babes? Yeah, let's do it. Big fan of the tattoo, Reid, I have to say. Yeah, it's a fan. Thank you. That's brave. He must be a real big fan of yours. Just so cool, I think. Super fans. Right, Bay, I'm going to get some audience wines, all right? Go on. Abby Pete Gaz, my wine is my husband and the eclipse. He spent the last five months talking about it. Bought the special glasses in March. I didn't even know about it. You only knew, like, two days before, like, the rest of us.

24:48Yeah, I just didn't even know a thing. like when everyone had these glasses on sitting on the terrace at Grantley Hall I was like what the hell is going on? Must be a film coming on 3D outdoor cinema I made a document for our village about the time it would be passing over I told everyone at his work he was taking the afternoon for it like he'd been personally invited by the moon and then yesterday at the crucial moment he got a small bout of food poisoning and spent the afternoon and evening glued to the loo the one thing the one moment he'd planned his entire summer round and he was on the toilet scrolling the very phone that was telling him that it was going to happen.

25:29He came out around 9pm to me going, has it started? And it had finished. He is inconsolable. I've never been happier. Love you guys, Donna from Leeds. She's buzzing off it. He's gutted. That's why we were close to Leeds because I went past the Leeds football stadium on the way home. Oh, did you? Ellen Road. Yeah. Leeds. Yeah. Yorkshire. Leeds. Yorkshire. That is rough. That is rough if you really love, because apparently this eclipse isn't going to happen again for another how many years? Well, it will, but not in the UK. Oh, really? Well, that's what Kaz told me. No. That's the case. No, she did.

26:09She said it is going to happen, but in a different part of the world. I feel like they said this last time and there's been about 10 eclipses in my life. I can swear there's always an eclipse. That's what Kaz said to me. There is, because she said Luca, her son, will be 78 when the next one happens. Wow. It'll be long gone then. Long gone, yeah. I didn't fucking see it the first time. But you can see it in other parts of the world, apparently. Right. Okay. There you go. It's true. We're learning. Where's it happening? Sam, can you verify this? Yes. the next solar eclipse will occur on August the 2nd, 2027.

26:48And I believe it'll be Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Excellent. So yeah, that's where you have to go for it. There you go. Everyone gets to Africa in the Middle East. It's like those bloody Northern lights.

27:36Hey guys, it's Paige from Giggly Squad. Okay, can we all agree that hosting is so much fun? And I really do love it. Every weekend, it's come over for snacks, let's make dinner together, and somehow the second you put out a fruit platter, it seems that bugs show up before your friends do. This is why I have to have my Zeevo flying insect trap. You plug it in and you let it do all the work. It's specially designed blue and UV light attracts the bugs you didn't know you had. And wow, did we have a lot. Like house flies, fruit flies, gnats. and then with Zivo, bam, next thing you know, the pests are caught in the sticky cartridge and away from your yummy treats without any mess or strong odors.

28:16The best part is the design is actually sleek and curved, so it hides the bugs it catches, keeping them out of sight, and when the cartridge is full, you just grab the no mess tab, throw it in the trash, pop in a new cartridge, and then you're done. No mess, no stress. So whether you're hosting a dinner party or spending an afternoon baking treats with all your friends, and you want to focus on hosting and not constantly swatting at bugs, Zeevo has you covered with 24-7 bug protection. Plug in a Zeevo flying insect trap so you can work smarter, not harder, and actually enjoy your time at home.

28:52I had to go to Finland, didn't see him. Same, biggest con of my life. You just don't see, they're not guaranteed. When we went to see the Northern Lights, Pete got so drunk. Our room was, we were in like a glass dome. and they'd kind of LED lit it with the greeny, purpley, pinks and Pete was lying in bed like, babe, babe, quick! Set all the lights! And I'm like, Pete, are you fucking joking? Do you remember? Yeah, I do remember that. But like, you know what? I was happy. You should have left me and gone, oh, they're amazing then, Pete. But with regard to this guy, I do like the amount of effort and the excitement.

29:33you know I don't try and dull down people's passions unless it's golf because that's just unless it's my passions yeah because that's just inexcusable but I think that's cute inexcusable I think that's cute I do as well like it's good to be excited about things isn't it he's excited alright well Avi, Pete and Gaz my wine is grown adults who clap when the plane lands totally agree we didn't crash this is the expected outcome you don't clap the bus driver for arriving at the stop do you? and yet every Ryanair flight back from Alicante turns into a standing ovation for a man who's simply doing his job to a reasonable standard my husband joins in, I have never been more embarrassed to be married settle this for me, is it charming or madness?

30:21some jest in Liverpool no it's not for me I think it's a bit rough to be honest says the Scouser do you know did I say my weekly ride last week where people think I've had a really hard life yeah just from being a scouse just from being a scouse yeah now I just think it's a bit like it's not for me I don't like it you know bizarrely you know Geoffrey Braithwaite who we had on the pod my gynecologist so when we were in Alderney one of our friends was also there was a fellow doctor who worked with him and he was best friends to them. So it was like, oh my God, I know Geoffrey. And I was like, oh, I delivered all my babies.

31:02And then Elle has just gone to Nice for a pre, have you heard of a pre-hen? Not in my life. She's on a pre-hen. What the hell is that? A pre-hen? She's on a pre-hen in the south of France currently. And she was sitting next to Geoffrey Wraithwaite. No way. But it just made me think, yeah, we need to get him back on. I feel like, you know, that kind of subliminal, I either need to go and see him or we need to get him back on the pod because he's being attracted to us do you know what I mean he helped a lot of people he absolutely did yeah we love Geoffrey yeah shout out to what about clapping at the end of movies where do you stand at that you know in America if you go to the cinema everyone just claps at the end no but I'll tell you what we did do in the American cinema because we went when we were in New York heated seats game changer do they because I am always freezing in the cinema same it's so cold it makes you tired and then you start to doze don't you because you're kind of trying to stay I can't remember the last time I stayed awake in the cinema.

31:58Really? Yeah. When we went to the, what was the fish thing? Oh. Aquaman. Oh, yeah, you went to that. What was it? Leicester Square. We went to Aquaman in Leicester Square. Did we? Yeah, Jason Momoa. She all fell in it.

32:18He is a lot of people's hearts rub. Is he? Yeah. He's all right. You know. if you're into that if you're into that kind of thing that's your kind of bag

32:31any more wines babe? yes I have babe I've got one here this one listening from Guernsey I believe you were close by recently yes we were in the Channel Islands and we very much enjoyed it my weekly wine is that my boyfriend of four years can't remember plans for his life is it just a typical bloke thing or is it that he's a little dim no matter if it's my family or his I've got a lot of comments So men do know plans when it suits them. He can't seem to remember the plans that are booked in for months or even a year before. It frustrates me as I feel patronised when I'm telling him plans like he's a four-year-old.

33:08Love the pod, regular listener, whose day is made better by listening. You did this this morning? Yeah, but I... What did you say? I'm just asked where Maddie was this morning. Yeah. That's all it is. Just a little refresher. you know like I know but just what was that again let's just a quick one like what are we doing today yeah doing today that's a little thing like that it just winds me up so much but why does it wind you up so much this is my issue I just think it's disrespectful it's not though it's like oh you know I've just misplaced that thing you know like oh I wonder where I put that no that's a different thing just saying it like that that's a different thing like because I guarantee you now if you were waking up this morning going to the airport at 11am for a golf trip you would know what your plans were.

33:54Yeah? Yeah. But if it's anything to do with... I would have made those plans, do you know what I mean? So, if you've made the plans... Yeah, disrespectful, not interested. No, it's not I'm not interested, it's just that you've been across it more than me. So I'm like, babe, what's the deal today? Well, I don't make any plans because we've all been banned from adding anything into our diaries, you know? Yeah. Claire is the only one who can add. So when it's like, well, you've done that, I'm like, I haven't. it's Claire so we just got someone to blame rather than each other get out of jail card it's a good way of doing it though but yeah I think it is a male problem and you heard about what we need didn't you every week on a Sunday night Friday night or Monday morning what the weekly itinerary the itinerary yeah yeah did you see those messages I saw those messages come in yeah and it's really helpful is it helping out for Peter

34:49that's calling him a little Tim I would say dim I think it's selective interest would you say? no I don't know I just think women like to plan more than men in general not really because my dad's the planner in his relationship is he though?

35:13I don't know I think yeah I don't know no I think it's I don't know I spent literally yesterday two hours I saw a DJ I reckon you're a planner well I try to be I saw a DJ who was playing in October that I wanted to go to with my mates a DJ did you do that I saw a DJ fucking hell did you see a DJ did I actually just do that Christ almighty you were in the middle of the dance room it's fun wow it's a DJ last night that's not even you should see a DJ last night you know one of them DJs Christ I've got to check myself I spent two hours saying to the lads in Birmingham What DJ was it, by the way? It's like an up-and-coming Dutch guy called Weevil.

35:54Weevil? Weevil. That's a good name. He's on FIFA. That's how I know him. And I was like, right, boys, do you want to come give this a listen? Do you think? And they were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, what day is it? And we're all arranging in hotels, this, that, and the other. And I quickly, I bought the tickets, and then I went on my time tree, and my missus had put in Ireland. So I quickly said, are we in Ireland that weekend? She was like, yeah. I was like, okay. So suddenly, all plans were off. I had to tell the lads. The last three hours was wasted. that's what I mean it's a male problem I should have just looked at my calendar I just assumed that's months away that's months yeah it can't be exactly yeah so you're not going to see Weasel exactly yeah you guys can go if you like I've got some tickets enjoy have a have a well DJ DJ DJ oh I can't believe I did that give myself the ick I think it's quite cute it's not ick it's pumping yeah Yeah, it was great.

36:47You looked like you were having a great time. Surely that's the DJ. The decks. That's the universal sign for DJ. That would be an ick. It wouldn't say a DJ. DJ? Would that ick you out? Yeah, I think that's worse. That's an ick when Pete was pretending to DJ in the LFC, after the LFC game. Right. When the decks are like down there and Pete's like that in the air.

37:09We did a little pruning of our vegetable patch. Oh, yeah. This week. so Pete was shirtless digging up onions getting rid of all the bad lettuce getting the fresh ones out I did a lot of gardening this weekend did you? yeah getting to that age now aren't we? very doubting happy that isn't it? Lady Chatterley's lover you we were talking about it like when we were away like how we have changed and evolved thankfully we've evolved together because you know weekends when we were younger we're not spent on our hands and knees digging through mud and tying up tomato plants and digging for onions. Babe, look at the size of this one.

37:49So you've grown into boring bastards together. It's not boring. It's not boring. It's fascinating. I loved it. I enjoyed it. I had a lovely day. I am just, I can't concentrate because I know I need to jet wash our greenhouse. You're all jet washed, yeah. Dear Pete, Abby and all the team, we just had an amazing month in America and visiting family on the West Coast. Nothing has given us greater joy than your fabulous camper van game. I knew it. Oh, yeah. I just don't like this game. everyone to the game and we can confidently say that placing the word anal in front of the name of the camp van has been a huge hit.

38:21There you go. We decided to narrow it down and send you our top five spots in no particular order. All right. Hopefully you'll understand just how funny this has been. See if we can get a smile out of abs on this. This is like, this to me is like South Park or Family Guy. It's the equivalent. That is very funny. Like so unfunny. of Mr Bean. Mr Bean. I don't think he said anal. If I said she was anal prowler, does it give you any form of joy? What about an anal hideout? An anal bouncer? No. An anal keepsake? No. That sounds nice. Or an anal cougar? No. No. No? Oh, here's our personal favourite.

39:11The pleasure way. For, yeah, they took a picture. The anal pleasure way. The anal pleasure way. I think some people will be into that. Why'd you look at me when you said that? Did you like DJs? What is it with vans and things and just being named? I would love one of those camper vans. I think they're phenomenal. I would love to do a trip. What would you call it? You'd have to call it, in the spirit of this, something quite outrageous. it's the make of the model isn't it oh is that what it is yeah yeah they branded that themselves yeah yeah got you right yeah I love camper vans I'd love to do a trip on one you know it's just me and you though no kids because that'd be hell road trip like across America basically what we're doing now with our wheels yeah yeah I fancy that like camping and things like that like sounds great but no but say for me and you did a road trip and we had like I'd like the meet the fuckery style though oh imagine the RV that would be good the RV Yeah, that'd be good, wouldn't it?

40:12Okay, that was from Annie. Really enjoyed that game. That's a good one, that. That's a good one. I know you didn't, but I really enjoy it. I think Long Journeys, it's great. You've got to fill your time, haven't you? It used to be Ice Spy, now it's Anal Explorer. See, I play an animal beginning with, and you go from A to Z. It's quite a good name. Oh, yeah. So you do A's until you run out, and then you go to B's. Oh, yeah, that's good. That's a good one. Capital Cities is a good one. Celebrity names or musicians, actors? Do you do that one? No, I don't. A, Adam Sandler. B? Shock you said it, him.

40:45You are Adam Sandler. Adam Sandler. Go on, B. Boris Johnson. Fair play. Was it celebrities or actors? Yeah. Oh, actors. Got actors. Bon Jovi. Nice. Ingus Bon Jovi. Should we just play this game now? C. C. Chris Hemsworth. Nice. D. David Tennant. Eddie Izzard nice Frank Szilagyi oh he did act didn't he yeah alright sort of actors and musicians okay let's do both alright that helps Carrie Clitter oh my god that's the end of the game

41:27good effort okay okay babe we've got a blind date update love is in the air every time I look around are we but getting back to the blind date situation that we were talking about before people we need people to send in if they're single send in we can match with them get a therapy a fellow therapy grudge listener on board potential date potential marriage babies they'd have to be a therapy grudge listener for this to work because otherwise we'd know about it yeah but I'm going to say they're like minded rather than going out in the wild you can meet someone on this podcast I think we are the perfect matchmakers.

42:07We have set up so many of our friends and we want to spread the love and set some people up. If you're listening to the therapy crouch as an individual and you're single, write in because you've got one thing in common with that person already. Yeah. You know, that's your icebreaker. Do you like the therapy crouch? Oh my God, I love it. That's a good one, isn't it? Ice broken. Yeah, you're right. You're right, though. Julesy has got in touch. Julesy's just got bloody married, hasn't he? my mate he's been in touch okay got a message from Jules he says Tan France has a series on Netflix where they've shown him doing his house up in Salt Lake City I so wish you guys would do this starting to see what you're doing to your home however what's the point I think it's great watch the space yeah it's not a bad shout do you know I've made some crucial decisions from my Insta fam you know and I've put up stone one or stone two and they've helped me out this colour wood or that colour wood yeah yeah so some of my what do I call them family Insta fam have helped me so yeah I will we will share it as long as you're not asking me well I had you I had you in the I had Pete's office the other day I had and we were looking at railings and off black Farron Ball so so I had like two colours four blocks on the wall and Pete's like I like that one I'm like they're all the same colour Pete like I just don't get why we've got four yeah of the same colour in different squares and I've got a colour they all look the same to me yeah majority of the time anyway it's hard to discern the difference sometimes it is like and also the light was on them in different ways.

44:05They did look lighter and darker. Well, that's why I did it for you. It's your room. It needs to be perfect. It's my room. Is it really my room? It is. God. Right, come on, let's hear what yours is going to say. Well, more to the point, they say. I think it's great you've started up with fixing people up again. I totally agree. They need to do a new blind date and have Abby and Pete as hosts. You're the next Alan Carr and Amanda Holden. Good pair. Do love that pair. Are you going to be... I think I'm more Alan though and you're more Amanda. like definitely are you going to be doing age groups for the fixing up I'm 54 and I'd love for you to find me a man I've been on and off dating apps for years and it's getting tiresome love love love the show love to you all thanks for all the laughs well this is what Lib was saying because I was actually Liberty my friend who's actually coming on the pod as a guest yes we've had so many requests to get her on and she's 54 54 right and I'm 40 and we were talking about how which we'll go into on the page there how you become invisible once you turn 40 right like it's actually a thing and she was like who's that you two could be invisible she said she was like I'm fucking 54 I'm not dead I know I haven't got a dry fanny thank you Davina so but I do think as an age category you know for a lot of people they do feel a bit overlooked and can lose confidence and just because you're older you don't have to follow that trajectory of you know your algorithm doesn't have to be knitting and fricking Emmerdale you know we we're still alive we're still alive and still want to be romanced and have fun and live life to the full so that's actually a good thing to help the older generation to find love and live out the last few years they've got on the fair.

46:07Fucking 54. That was a joke. But you know what I mean? No, I agree. Because it's not all about like a hot 20-year-old. No. Unfortunately.

46:21No, I think that's nice. But men age so much better than women. Do you know what I mean? You don't go to a man, oh my God, he's so wrinkly. Yeah. you know, society say that about women? Why aren't we allowed to have wrinkles on our face? Do you know what I mean? I know what you mean. I do know what you mean. I think, I don't know if it's just me getting a little bit older, but like I feel like at 18, the idea of being 50 felt like, wow, that's old. Like I'm old now. You're dead. But yeah, but now I'm 30 old. 50 still feels really young to me. Yes. I feel like, only until you're a pensioner are you old for me.

46:54When you're in your 80s, when you're kind of... 50's a new 40, mate. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Yeah. Rock on. I agree I can't believe I'm going to have a 50 year old husband soon How funny is that? Ages away How far away is that? Ages Four years Five years Alright so we need to find someone for Julesy basically is the outcome So I think Julesy needs to write in Tell us More about herself Is it a girl? Yeah I think so Julesy? Yeah Looking for a man Yeah looking for a man Yeah just give us your best bio Connie And we will set you up absolutely perfect yeah we'll sort that out nice okay I'm watching your pod eating lunch my legs hanging off the Dougie diving board how does a single man navigate dating as a relatively new arrival in an extremely close knit community of 2000 people I worry about existing secret casual relationships of convenience and upsetting previous partners yeah so this this came in and you put it Chris our camera and drew my attention to it.

48:01I've read it 10 times and don't really get. So is, what is a doggy diving board first of all? A doggy diving board is basically what you jump off to go into the sea. Oh, okay. So a doggy is where the tide rises and falls. It's like a barrier wall of big stones. I didn't know that at all. Okay. All right. So that's the first thing. Yeah. Good knowledge. Good knowledge. Well, you jumped off one last week. I know I jumped off it, but I didn't actually ask why it was called that. Well, I don't know why It's called a Dougie, but that's what it is. And then it says, how does a single man navigate dating as a relatively new arrival?

48:35So I can't tell if he's like 18 and like new to the scene or if he's... No, he's told us his age. He hasn't. No, he's newly single. Is that what that means? I think he's newly single in a small community. Yeah. Limited options. Yeah. And I think kind of everyone knows each other, that kind of vibe. Yeah. You're treading on toes, this kind of vibe. you can't shag the butcher's daughter yeah basically yeah that's hard well I'll tell you one way to solve that problem anyone you go out with treat them with respect and kindness and then it's fine to kiss a few frogs before you find your true love but as long as you do it with respect and kindness and you know he's got nothing to worry about yeah happy shagging

49:29all right babe i'm gonna get into an agony ab go on time for one um my wife has started sharing our love life with her friends in a whatsapp group called the uh the coven the coven coven coven like a coven of witches i only found out because the other day we were at nando's and her phone lit up on the side with a message that alluded something very specific to our love life and then about two minutes later someone else chirped up and said and then what did he do? And now I don't think I could attend a single dinner party without wondering exactly how much these women know about me. They always smile at me.

50:04I used to think it was out of politeness but now I know they're smiling knowingly. Or laughing at him? I am being reviewed and I never consented to the panel. What do I do now? Lean into it or have a word? anonymous obviously do you think it's acceptable to discuss your love life with your girlfriends or boyfriends yeah where do we stand I think you'd be I know you'd do it obviously but I think if you were to like me saying it about you no I think that's a bit odd if you were talking to your friends that's the double standards again isn't it like why is it why is it not okay for me yeah because they're men like girls are like we've got each other's back Black men would be like...

50:49Yeah. What? What kind of noise was that? Core. Core. I don't know, but they would. Yeah. Yeah. It just feels like, you know, you're allowed to do it when we can't. But I don't think you would discuss RCX life with your friends. No. I don't think I would, no. Girls do. For sure they do. Do they? Really? I think so. Oh, yeah. A glass of wine in a chat. over a glass of wine. You won't believe what this twat did last night. He got it all wrong for three hours.

51:26No, you need to, I think it's a girly rite of passage. Is that the right term? It wouldn't be ideal if you felt like you were buzzing off the person's nose. Yeah, we don't slag you off all the time. There's some nice things. Once in a while do you say nice things? That pizza afterwards was...

51:47alright we're going to go and ponder on that for a while I think he should say what are you telling if you saw that on my phone you'd be like I'd be honest I'd just be like what the hell have you been saying girls tell all the friends about arguments and how are you with like sending screenshots of arguments to each other to your friends no I've got a screenshot of my mate arguing with me and I'm like, fuck it, I don't want to see that. Absolutely no interest in your argument. So I don't even want to have my arguments. See, my friends would be like, he said what? Oh my God. Yeah, they'd be interested and then they'd tell me what to say.

52:26A screenshot of his argument was missing. I think he's insane. But men and women are different species. Very, very different. So what's completely normal and comforting and what girls need, it's totally different for men. Alfie's on our girl group, though. If you're a gay man, it's fine. I think. Is that okay to say? Were it cancelled? No, like Alfie's on all the girl chats. Yeah, he's one of the girls. Yeah. But sometimes with his opinions... He has a male perspective. He obviously has a male perspective because he's a male and they do come across quite selfish at times. Selfish? It's weird.

53:13I say to them all the time but yeah you ponder on that I know I'll ponder I'll take that away I think you try and learn each time we do this I'd like to know our audience thoughts on that one yeah whether or not you should talk about is that a male and female division thing right there that's a good one I think it's a good one I totally agree I think girls do talk and I wouldn't yeah I just wouldn't disrespect you you know shut up right okay babe loved it really enjoyed spending time with you again again? we'll see you next time again? I like I just love doing this with you good yeah I hope you enjoy listening to it we'll see you next time bye
