Ask Me Anything! “Hangover” Weddings, Relationship Regrets & Brutal Advice!

In short

“Ask Me Anything” episode mixing relationship and parenting advice with personal anecdotes, plus a long clutter/decluttering discussion (including “fresh knickers” jokes) and wedding memories.

Guests/backgrounds

Abby Clancy, Peter Crouch, and Gaz (co-hosts). No additional guests appear; callers/messages from listeners (e.g., “Gals from Southport,” “M from Manchester,” and a fiancée/wedding questioner).

Key claims

Kids should be given boundaries around food (“eat it” if they won’t like it); one family dinner for everyone avoids chaos; hoarding/clutter is common even when you think you’re not; underwear/relationship expectations can be a red-flag topic.

Notable examples

Stacey Solomon-style warehouse declutter; a boyfriend demanding his girlfriend replace old underwear; kids refusing meals then eventually eating after repeated “eat it” rules; wedding photo booth devolving into “boobs” and “Wolf of Wall Street” debauchery; Singapore travel and high-rise fears.

I just thought if you go up the stairs before me and I start sticking my finger up your ass and I think we're really weird. Restrain the shabber. It's the right house. You've got to crisp it sooner or later. Looking back at your wedding day, what's the most fun or memorable moment from the day? It was like the hangover. Oh, my God, it sounds like it. It was lawless. Brilliant. Guys, if you love us as much as we love you, you should subscribe. That's all I'm going to say. Ask me anything.

2:18Hello and welcome to the Therapy Crouch. Ask us anything with me, Abby Clancy. Me, Peter Crouch. And me, Gaz. Hello. Hello. You all right? Yes. How are we doing? Good. Having a good week? Great week. Yeah. Well, I'm kind of just attacking that wardrobe room, which is hell. I was in there for like six hours. Stuff is just stupid, isn't it? Have you seen that show? Stuff is stupid. The stuff is stupid. Get it on a t-shirt. Get that, I'd like to quote that. The Clance stuff is stupid. But have you seen that Stacey Solomon show? Which one? So she like goes into people's houses, empties the whole house out and puts it into a huge warehouse.

3:01Oh, wow. So this family had like 1 ,200 books, 900 teddies, 600 pairs of shoes and they lay it in a warehouse and it's like the biggest warehouse you can ever imagine. Oh my God. And it's like, all this is in your house. And they separated, they charity some of it, they sell some of it, they blah, blah, blah. Right, okay. And I was like, where the hell is Stacey Solomon when I need her? That sounds like a good one. It's so therapeutic, like deep cleanse, like getting rid of all your, you know, because if we had to leave now, pack a bag, go. Like all the stuff that you've got, you just don't need.

3:42Yeah. And I think I'm quite good at not being a hoarder. But it turns out I am a bloody hoarder. I've got so much stuff. I've had like dresses from 20 years ago. Like from our like, but I can't. I know exactly what you mean. Yeah, like you said now, if we left here and went to another country. And if there was an emergency and you go, right, let's pack a bag. Yeah, yeah. We would never need them 10 boxes of wires we've got. You wouldn't need anything. I need you to go through that box of wires because I don't know what to do with them. Boxes of wires. Oh, the mandraal kind of thing. Yeah. Cables, miscellaneous things.

4:13Cables, charges, like, scar leads. You know, all that stuff. Yeah. In that show you were talking about, is there a point when they see it in the warehouse and they, like, get emotional? Is it that kind of... Yeah. Do you remember that You Are What You Eat? When they used to do that, they'd take all your food out of the cupboard and put it on the table and they'd always cry. They'd be like, oh, my God, I can't believe that's what I eat in a week. Yeah, fill a skid with that. Yeah. Love those shows. I do. Yeah, just easy watching, aren't they? I do. Yeah. But I'd love her to come and help me. Yeah.

4:43Should we get her on? I know. Yeah, do an interview and then get her a day. I would absolutely love that. Well, why is Stacey Swanham in charge of clutter? No, but I presume because she's a great TV host. She's just the host of the show. She's also moved house and got loads of kids. So, you know, you know what it's like when you've got all the kids and loads of stuff. Yeah, yeah. No, I get the show. But people get attached to stuff, don't they? I know, I know. and you're just sentimental about things. If you moved out, you would miss it. Our friends moved away recently and they've got their giant boxes in storage.

5:18And he was like, we've been here for a month now and not missed anything. And we've got three massive containers coming. Yeah. And like, it's just shits that they don't need because they're already out there not missing it. They don't even know what they've got. Yeah. Coming. It's mental, isn't it? So I guess you guys are a bit like, I think we're all kind of similar. You want like a clutter-free life. Like you'd like a nice empty, but then it means everything's put away then how often are you actually going to look into those like chest of drawers kind of things that's away when are you going to go I must niff up to that loft and go and get that yeah no one's ever said that but even like pyjamas I've got 7 million pairs of pyjamas 7 million pairs of knickers you only need 7 pairs of knickers don't you really I do just on rotation do you remember that guy who wrote in who wanted his new girlfriend to like get new underwear because yeah so he'd started dating this girl okay and he said when she come into the relationship she hasn't bought new underwear since so she's obviously been using that underwear when she had her old boyfriend and he thought it was like repulsive oh that's a bit strong It's a weird vibe, that.

6:30That's a bit of an overreaction. It was a weird psyche, I thought that. Yeah. That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it? He needs to cleanse all their clothes now that he's with. Do you know what I mean? I was a bit like... He might have touched. Yeah, but they're probably, when she was with her ex-boyfriend, their knickers probably went on. Oh, God. Do you know what I mean? Was that your advice on the phone? He's probably not even touched them knickers. It's probably been on the bloody floor. Oh, my God. Realistically. Maybe. She's got a new boyfriend now. They shouldn't be on, should they? There you go.

7:05If you even commented on my knickers, I'd be like, shut your mouth. It's time for a change though. Saw you in this morning. I'm a bit green now. Green? How can black knickers turn green, Peter? You tell me. Shut up.

7:26Well. Are you going to ask me anything or are you just going to keep chatting after the garbage drink? I'm going to ask you. Anyway, so yeah, that's all we've been doing. Yeah, okay. Decluttering. Decluttering. Nice, nice. Your knickers are lovely, by the way. Thanks. They are. They're fresh as well. Shut up. What the hell?

7:49Fresh knickers every day. There you go. Beautiful. Hi, Pete and Ab. I just wanted to go back to the topic of kids not liking food. You spend ages prepping a meal for them just to turn around and say they don't like it. Happens all the time in our house. So in the end, my wife came up with the phrase, I'm not asking you to like it, just eat it. If they still nest and wouldn't eat it, we'd give it to them for the next meal the next day. After a few weeks, they ate everything. The question is, where are we cruel? Gals from Southport. I think it's a really hard dynamic. Like we've got four kids. I like to do one meal for all because I think once you start getting into that territory of what do you want for dinner no one agrees they all want different things no dinner's dinner right no one should dinner's dinner no one should have any input in that other than the person cooking the meal yeah and then when and it's served out what's for dinner tonight that's it yeah that's what you get 100 % our kids have got quite a mature palate they'll try anything they love the food they're little angels with the food they are really Libs the only difficult one but she's a bit more beige yeah like plain pasta okay that kind of but if they didn't eat their dinner would you give it them again the next day I'm not against it I'm not against it well it's worked fair deuce I'm not against it but I don't I've got zero recollection of growing up my mum asking me what I want for dinner you just get your dinner you just got your dinner and you'd have to stay there until you'd eaten it all yeah you don't leave the table until you finish fact Johnny's got a real problem with keeping his bloody bum on the seat to try to eat that oh it's so frustrating it's a real pet hate thing I'm just sitting around I'm just sitting and he's like jumping around running every standing up sometimes whilst eating and he goes to the table with the TV remote oh yeah what's that about what as if to say what like let me have like he pauses something he pauses something he pauses something pauses a show and takes the remote with him I'm like you are not allowed to touch that remote oh my god yeah God love him and i i keep telling him to sit down and anytime there's a conversation or he might want something around the other side of the table he's not asked you to pass it like a normal person walks around the table he's forever walking around the table i'm like oh mate yeah sit down please no i don't think they're mean i think i don't think they're mean i think you have to implement rules with kids otherwise you make a rod for your own back and it's really hard because when you've got your babies and you love them and you just want to make them happy Yeah.

10:27But you just need to set these boundaries early on, otherwise you're in for a world of pain. Agreed. Right, guys, this feels like a great time to hear from our sponsors. And while you're there, hit subscribe.

Big love and a shabba, M from Manchester. I nearly shabbaed you this morning.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it’s an Ask Me Anything special!


Abbey and Peter dive headfirst into your wildest, funniest and most brutally honest dilemmas — from wardrobe chaos and hoarding habits to parenting rules that divide households everywhere.


Things quickly take a turn as we get into your Agony Abs, including a heartbreaking story of a listener who pushed his partner away after secretly discovering fertility issues, and now wants to win her back. We also hear from someone determined to turn their boyfriend into their very own “project”, plus a bedroom dilemma that definitely takes the biscuit.


There’s friendship drama, relationship ruts, and the age-old question of how to keep the spark alive when life starts getting in the way.


It’s honest, chaotic and full of laughs… exactly how an AMA should be.
