1:32Abbey Clancy: Anyone who orders a pumpkin spice latte leaves shooting. If I saw a fully grown man go in and order a pumpkin spice latte, I think they deserve a slap.

1:43Peter Crouch: When you get a Caesar's salad, I find that a bit weak.

1:46Abbey Clancy: Yeah, I love you, man. I love you, man. It's finger-marie. Finger-marie.

1:53Peter Crouch: Finger-marie. Happy birthday, girl. Hello and welcome to The Therapy Crouch with me, Abbey Cansey.

2:01Abbey Clancy: And me, Peter Crouch. Hello. And Ross. Ross is still... Well, he's kind of fine now, isn't he? But you've banned him.

2:09Peter Crouch: Yeah, I don't want him here with his germs. Yeah, to be honest, I don't want the headache of the accusations of infecting your family as well, to be fair about Abbey. I know what you're like. You look fine to me, sister. I feel fine, but I just didn't want to come round. The next thing you get a tickly throat and it's, oh my God, Ross has given us the leggy. so

2:28Abbey Clancy: you know what this is this is the zoom generation like these lot they think they can get out of work and because you know it's become acceptable since covid to like zoom people I know yeah I don't want to go to the office anymore hang on Pedro hang on Pedro

2:41Peter Crouch: was I hang on was I not in the office with you yesterday was I not in the office you know that if it's me and you so that completely fucking defeats the object then well not really because I didn't go anywhere near them and I was on your house sitting on your furniture

2:54Abbey Clancy: do you know what I mean I didn't I didn't go near him No. I mean, I don't go near him any time ago.

2:58Peter Crouch: You feel a little bit sick today, though, you said? Oh, fucking hell, there we go. Now, honestly, Pete, you said you got a little bit of a cold.

3:05Abbey Clancy: No, I think it's just, I mean, we're going to talk about that kind of vibe today, but it's definitely dropped temperature.

3:11Peter Crouch: I think it could be a two-day hangover, maybe.

3:14Abbey Clancy: You might as well be that as well, yeah.

3:19Abbey Clancy: I recorded my podcast yesterday and I was just slightly worse for wear.

3:23Peter Crouch: Yeah, because that actually leads me on perfectly to my weekly wine, Ross.

3:27Abbey Clancy: Yeah. It's amazing how that happens.

3:30Peter Crouch: We had a gorgeous, because Pete's had such a busy week. He was working all week till late. I was shooting with FNF, so I had to stay out one night in London, and I was late. Then he was up in Liverpool, Saturday.

3:45Abbey Clancy: Northside Derby, that was a good day for the Reds.

3:48Peter Crouch: I bet you were saying, sorry. yeah so um so i said let's just do a lovely family day sunday so we got up the kids went to golf then we went for a gorgeous sunday lunch all the kids are playing and then pete said dropped us off at home went oh i forgot my golf clubs they're at the um that the club i need to go back and get them fast forward three hours he decided to stay there to watch the match with all the lads and Then he brings them back again. So he texts me saying, do you mind if one of our friends come back? And I'm like, yeah, of course. Five of them. Five of them. On a Sunday. On a family day.

4:29Abbey Clancy: Sunday. Come on, Pete. On a Sunday. But we'd had a couple, like, we had two or three. And then I did text you beforehand saying it was all right. And you said, you know.

4:40Peter Crouch: Because you said only one of them. So I thought, that's great. I can just leave Pete and X sitting together. But then they brought a whole gang of people, which I had to entertain then. Was it the usual suspects? We won't name any names. Was it the usual suspects? Okay, nice.

4:56Abbey Clancy: Yeah, it's the usual suspects. My mates, basically.

4:59Peter Crouch: And their relatives. Yeah, a few relatives.

5:03Abbey Clancy: But what I will say, my own defence, I genuinely did have to go back there. That was a legitimate reason. And you did ask permission. Yeah, I did get trapped in there. And the thing is, once you get the flavour,

5:15Peter Crouch: you've got the flavour, haven't you? Pete, it's one of them. Three pints in. It's going to happen.

5:19Abbey Clancy: It's going to happen.

5:23Abbey Clancy: And with all of this, right? Yeah. Ab is very, very quick to get involved. All of a sudden it's like, oh, I can't believe you've done this. And then she's the worst one.

5:33Peter Crouch: Go on then, I'll have an inch. I'll have an inch. I'll have an inch. Going to have a little inch. We had no drinks in, so I was like, Pete, no one can come. Like, no, we've got no drinks or anything. I can't offer anyone. So Pete just went to the shop and bought like two bloody bin bags full. And I was like, what the hell?

5:49Abbey Clancy: You never know. It's better to have too much than too little.

5:53Peter Crouch: I like the bag.

5:53Abbey Clancy: So anyway, that's the reason why I was hungover.

5:55Peter Crouch: That's my weekly one. So you've got to stop this?

5:58Abbey Clancy: Yeah, I don't think. I've got to be honest with you. I've got to lay my cards on the table here, Ross. This is never going to stop. Yeah. It's like you with the skips and the animals.

6:09Peter Crouch: I mean, this is just peach dish.

6:10Abbey Clancy: Do you know what I mean? It's literally, it's literally never going to stop. I am probably, I don't go out much anymore, certainly, or at all without you. So what I do is I go to the golf.

6:21Peter Crouch: That sounds like it's, you know, a punishment or something.

6:25Abbey Clancy: This is my male bonding, you know, like this is my bonding time. I go, I play golf, I have a few beers, that spills over.

6:32Peter Crouch: But you weren't playing golf this, it's a family Sunday.

6:34Abbey Clancy: I know, yeah. You got me on that one. But what I was saying, when I'm up there, then that is my time.

6:40Peter Crouch: I don't mind, really, because I love them. but you know and you just thought oh god early night box set yeah did we get any responses on the box set series saga someone actually wrote in and has given us a link to this website where you can watch is it Think you know the Tom Hardy one that you were telling me the take is it yeah so someone sent us a link for that where you can watch it it's like free on YouTube or something mad like that I'll send it to you oh my god we should watch that tonight Pete the Take you can't it's hard to get

7:06Abbey Clancy: no but someone sent us a link

7:08Peter Crouch: where you can watch it and it's on like it's like literally YouTube or something and the people below the tips. Abi, I will say that it's quite unusual from an outside perspective for Pete to do a Sunday job. It is usually, he does keep it contained till Friday. So I think he can maybe have a bit of leeway there.

7:21Abbey Clancy: Yeah, I agree. I agree.

7:22Peter Crouch: I actually think it's going to happen more. You know, now there's going to be no sitting on the terrace of the clubhouse because it's freezing. He's going to bring people back even more. To do on the floor eating.

7:34Abbey Clancy: You love it, really. We have a, we have, it's nice. A little kitchen party, isn't it? Every now and then. And you're a good gang

7:40Peter Crouch: and you are mates with the gang as well, have I? You're in the gang. Yeah, I love them. I love them. I've got no problems, but it's just, I wanted an early night.

7:46Abbey Clancy: I don't know what one particular one you want an early night. I totally get that. Yeah. But my weekly wine is, Ross, I'll wake up on a, what is it, Tuesday morning now. And I'll wake up and I'll just look out my, you know, sometimes you just go, oh, you just want to look out and just take in the day. That's your stunning day. Beautiful day. Eight cars on the drive, skip, and a building firm. no idea why just looked out eight cars all the way up road and a giant lorry and a skip being delivered I see we're having work done got a massive hole in the roof the roof again well it's not really the roof no it's like it's the top floor we seem to be knocking bedrooms through that I didn't know about

8:39Abbey Clancy: You didn't think of telling me?

8:40Peter Crouch: I did. And you signed it off and said it was fine. You signed it off on Sunday when you were pissed in the kitchen. Babe, you're getting the new kitchen. We're having it. We're having it. Let's go. Monday morning, the skip arrives.

8:55Abbey Clancy: They'll have two.

8:56Peter Crouch: No, it's just annoying because, you know, Pete gave me the go-ahead. So I just got Adam in and was like, come on, let's go. I want it all done before Christmas. And now I've, Pete's seen a new house, like, which would be my dream house. So now I'm like, I've got no walls upstairs now. I'm like, fuck.

9:13Abbey Clancy: There's someone that was actually Scott who came around today. And he said, oh, I see you're having a lot of work done. I said, yeah, I believe we are. Yeah. And anyway, he goes, oh, let's have a look then. So I went up, I showed him what we were doing. And then he said, but you're doing this and you're moving house. And I said, yeah, that's what we do. we're going to redo this house and then move.

9:35Peter Crouch: Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll redo it so it's lovely for the next person.

9:38Abbey Clancy: It's really nice for them.

9:41Peter Crouch: Are you going to come to the tile shop with me later or not? The tile shop? They're ready.

9:46Abbey Clancy: Is that a loaded question?

9:47Peter Crouch: No. I thought you could come and watch me ride and then we'll go to the tile shop. Fuck. Yeah?

9:54Abbey Clancy: That's great.

9:55Peter Crouch: I need some support. There's nothing worse than going to pick tiles on your own. I've got a feeling Pete's leg, he's got to come back with a vengeance in a bit about two hours.

10:06Abbey Clancy: I can actually stop you there, there's nothing worse than going to the towel shop. Full stop. Full stop. Yeah.

10:12Peter Crouch: Well, thank God, Ian.

10:13Abbey Clancy: On your own, it doesn't matter about on your own or with people. Nothing worse.

10:17Peter Crouch: No, there is nothing worse because you need someone to say, what do you think of this? What do you think of that?

10:22Abbey Clancy: I'll go to the towel shop with you, baby, that's what I'll do.

10:23Peter Crouch: They sell donuts next door in the shop in the deli. All your sons. We live in a culture obsessed with dieting, weight loss, and exercise.

13:23Abbey Clancy: Right. Brilliant. What a time to be alive. Okay. Brilliant that. Hey, Vove, love the pod, yada yada. Quick weekly whine from me. Ironically, my boyfriend has discovered tantric sex and is now insisting that every session becomes a three-hour, oiled-up, slow and sensual rediscovering of our bodies and minds. Sometimes you just want lights off, duvet on, when bam, thank you, ma 'am. before Strictly starts. Oh my God. That is fucking hilarious. That's hilarious, don't you?

13:56Peter Crouch: Yeah, I've got zero time for that. Zero time.

13:59Abbey Clancy: Zero time for it. There might be a time and a place for it. Yeah, what was... Once a year.

14:04Peter Crouch: Three hours, it's way too long.

14:06Abbey Clancy: Three hours.

14:06Peter Crouch: I'm more of a three-minute kind of girl.

14:09Abbey Clancy: So is Pete, thank God. Don't come for that. That's right, we're all stars on the line.

14:16Peter Crouch: And even that's pushing it.

14:17Abbey Clancy: Three minutes. Are you done yet?

14:22Peter Crouch: Or do you eat?

14:25Abbey Clancy: Three hours is a bit much, but I mean, every now and then. So I think variety is the spice of life. Yeah, yeah. Three hours. Three hours is a bit. I'm not sure about three hours.

14:35Peter Crouch: Imagine oil on me new bloody carpet and the new bedding I've just bought. Yeah, but you come off smelling and feeling lovely after the baby, will you? But I wouldn't be doing all that slippy stuff on me new bedding. Why? On me new carpet. Put a towel down.

14:47Abbey Clancy: Don't knock it.

14:49Peter Crouch: put a towel down you can't slip on a towel no but you'd be

14:53Abbey Clancy: slide they're lying down

14:55Peter Crouch: piece of tarpaulin

14:56Abbey Clancy: you get like a mattress top I can't you and then just squirt oil all over you just work around on this

15:01Peter Crouch: don't you worry about that I think I've got slip and slide in the garage

15:05Abbey Clancy: there you go give it a touch of mine please don't we will not we will not okay my weekly wine is about people who clap in the playlands I don't care if you survive turbulence you don't get a round of applause for doing your job next time I see someone clap I'm going to start cheering when the barista spells my name right on the coffee cup do you know this is so funny I'm with you on this and I remember our girls clapped once and we I turned around and what the hell are you doing and Ab went don't you ever do that again we are not a family that claps and I've never honestly we both went psycho no no no that's not we don't do that and they have obviously they would never do it

15:55Peter Crouch: whilst they were singing the bloody Jess Glynn song darling all my hair don't you dare do that see I don't mind it on a long haul flight because you know I've got you there safely I think we did it when we landed in Argentina and maybe Thailand but I wouldn't do it on a short haul to fucking yeah Spain I don't mind

16:15Abbey Clancy: You know when all the playing, that off-it-ness, seriously. Oh my God, yeah. That's like saying, what about when people clap

16:25Peter Crouch: when a footballer scores a goal? You're doing your fucking job, aren't you? You're getting fucked, like, do you know what I mean?

16:30Abbey Clancy: It's, no, it's, we don't, you don't clap when the bus driver gets there or the tube driver. Yeah, but,

16:35Peter Crouch: I would say there's a, to you, yeah.

16:38Abbey Clancy: I don't know. No, mate, when you walk out and the pilot's standing there, you just go, thanks, mate. I kind of like the degree of respect The pilot commands.

16:45Peter Crouch: It's a bit like a doctor, isn't it? Do you know what I mean? You have that thing for a pilot. They're kind of on a bit of a pedestal, aren't they? Kind of like that.

16:51Abbey Clancy: Yeah, definitely. Yeah, but you know, it's like clapping is not the answer. It's not the answer.

16:56Peter Crouch: It is a bit icky. It is a bit icky. It gives me the ick when I do it, but I would say on a long-go flight, I don't mind. When I do it, it gives me the ick when I do it. I've never done it. Oh, mate. You should see me. No way. It's very hen and stag. Is it? Yeah. I think you wouldn't clap on a stag. I'd be too worried about what the lads would say. I'd clap if it was with my beard going on a long haul flight. Thanks, see you look good.

17:20Abbey Clancy: How kind of flight is Ross on? What is he talking about? Long haul? No, but I'd never heard the likes.

17:27Peter Crouch: No, it's like when people clap,

17:29Abbey Clancy: it's like what they do if they're on a hen doon. No, you're landing in Ayanape or Valaraki. Really? I think it's like if you've got...

17:36Peter Crouch: He's going to Argentina and clapping. I was only about five. Come on. Give me a break.

17:46Abbey Clancy: it's a no from me it's a no from the therapy couch I really respect your

17:50Peter Crouch: attitude that militant attitude so I've got a lot of time for that the fact that you told the kids off as well I like it I like that

17:56Abbey Clancy: no yeah we let them know very quickly don't we do you know she says about cheering when a barista spells the name right on the coffee cup do you ever do that one where you just give her a totally random name

18:06Peter Crouch: no I don't I don't really buy coffee from a shop

18:09Abbey Clancy: I do I enjoy that I bet you do because everyone knows you give them a false name in for starters. I know. And I'll just say like, Rudolph.

18:17Peter Crouch: Rudolph. As if you've ever done that.

18:20Abbey Clancy: I've done it like four or five times. On your own? On my own. On my own. That's weird. Why?

18:25Peter Crouch: That is so weird.

18:27Abbey Clancy: Why? It's so much fun.

18:29Peter Crouch: Do you know what I'd love? If you go to someone and went like, Rudolph, and then you collect it and then you just went, nice one, Crouchy. And then you just went,

18:34Abbey Clancy: nice one, Crouchy.

18:38Abbey Clancy: I reckon everyone on the planet should do this. Just go in, never ever give the right thing. Why do they need

18:44Peter Crouch: your name on the clock? Exactly.

18:45Abbey Clancy: I just think the whole thing it's like the rigmarole it's like wine isn't it? Like smelling it. I'll get it. Like all the same as the same as coffee.

18:56Peter Crouch: Oh yeah.

18:57Abbey Clancy: Why do you need my name? I'm just kidding. Say anything. X. What's your name? X.

19:02Peter Crouch: Do you know what? You giving a false name and give me vibes when you go to the Mackey's or whatever and do the Australian accents and that. Do you know what I mean? When you just do that.

19:10Abbey Clancy: That was brilliant. That's so good. that.

19:12Peter Crouch: My dad used to be like, when we used to go to drive through, like some teenager would be working there, dad would be like, is Ronald in the... Is Ronald birthday? Oh, Abbie's desperate to see him. And he'd be like... And we'd be like, go on, go and see if you can get Ronald out the back. And he'd be like, oh, Ronald isn't in today. And they'd be like that.

19:35Abbey Clancy: Dude, you gotta do it. Like, honestly, when Ab used to do that, I could not breathe. if the worst thing is you'd order it and then it'd be me because I'd be driving I'd have to then pretend to be Australian when I pick it up G'day I know

19:50Peter Crouch: I'd be so good the accents as well the accents are fantastic So I have a Big Mac with fries and a strawberry milkshake and a hot upper bar

20:06Abbey Clancy: Who was that who says hot upper bar John Moss John Moss so good Brilliant It's like, when have you... I know what he's saying, because sometimes if it's piping hot, it is nicer, isn't it?

20:18Peter Crouch: No, but they're made to order those things. It doesn't matter if you ask for a hot apple pie. You're getting the next available apple pie that's coming up the thing, do you know what I mean? It's just an ick that he goes, I'll have a hot apple pie, please.

20:30Abbey Clancy: I love it, I love it. That's funny, that.

20:33Peter Crouch: So summer's officially over?

20:35Abbey Clancy: Yeah. I saw something on the news the other day saying that it was for sure in autumn now.

20:39Peter Crouch: I love this type of weather. it's sunny but there's that chill in the air which I love

20:45Abbey Clancy: yeah I took the dogs for a walk this morning

24:28Peter Crouch: Abby Peter was talking I was talking about your soups yesterday and I was thinking how good you are at making soups and I made your mushroom soup last night for me too. Oh, was it nice? Yeah, it was really, I bought shiitake mushrooms. Did you put double cream in it? No, I put creme fresh in it to be a bit healthier. And then I, what's those big portobello mushroom on the side stuffed with feta and breadcrumbs so we kind of defeated the object of no cream. But it was really nice. It was really good. And I was inspired by you.

24:52Abbey Clancy: Your broccoli and stilton was the one you made.

24:55Peter Crouch: I'm going to do that tonight. Yeah.

24:57Abbey Clancy: Phenomenal. Full of goodness.

24:59Peter Crouch: Yeah.

24:59Abbey Clancy: Very nice.

25:00Peter Crouch: It's all about, like, because I'm like that now with the kids and the vitamins, the vitamin D, vitamin C. So do the vitamin D spray, zinc spray. Yeah. The immune, the homeopathic immunity balls, which I swear by. I know everyone thinks I'm a bit cuckoo with all that stuff, but honest to God, it really, really works.

25:20Abbey Clancy: That's work, you know, I genuinely think our household has been very, not getting as many bugs, or honestly.

25:28Peter Crouch: I know, but you just, I don't like to say that out loud because now we're all going to get them.

25:31Abbey Clancy: I seriously believe that.

25:33Peter Crouch: Our house has been so much better. Changed our lives.

25:36Abbey Clancy: I have personally as well. I've noticed that.

25:39Peter Crouch: I can't remember the last time. Dawn, our homeopath, is just a game. You need to see her, Ross. Yeah, I will. For all of this. You know, she can do it with Zoom, seeing as though that's your natural habitat now.

25:50Abbey Clancy: Yeah, yeah. Because you don't leave the house now. We could get around.

25:55Peter Crouch: Yeah, and also, I was like, how are you saying that you haven't been ill for ages? Just been 10 minutes ago, you were saying, oh, you had a tickly cough. No, not me. Pete's Pete's.

26:03Abbey Clancy: No, I sneezed a couple of times this morning because it was a bit more chilly and the door was left open and I had no clue.

26:10Peter Crouch: What the?

26:11Abbey Clancy: When I came down this morning, I just had a pair of shorts on and someone had left the door open.

26:16Peter Crouch: Yeah, because the dog's, you changed the dog's food so the dog had bloody an upset tummy last night.

26:20Abbey Clancy: Yeah, so you obviously let the dog out, but you've left the door open. It was absolutely bolster. No wonder I was sleeping. Couldn't you cook glass with the nibbles? I know. What I'm saying is, I do think we're healthier as a household. Whatever we're doing at the moment, we need to continue to do.

26:38Peter Crouch: The main things to have is vitamin D and vitamin C. Yeah. If you just keep that top. Yeah, zinc and magnesium as well. It's really good. You'll be fine. I think. Will I do the zinc spray? I'll get you all this for next week. Yeah, if you don't mind, that'd be great. Because I think that is one of the autumn, issues, isn't it really? People just tend to want to kind of sit in. You end up boozing a bit more. I think you eat more comfort food rather than healthy food. But I think if you can kind of keep it to a bit of a balance and do the soups and stuff like that, what you're saying, you can kind of avoid that a little bit because you end up just feeling sluggish, don't you?

27:13Abbey Clancy: Yeah. You know in the winter when people kind of, it's almost like hibernate and say, oh, well I can just eat and kind of drink what I like, you know, because I'm not going out, I'm not in a bikini, that kind of thing. I'm not being... I think it's the exact opposite. I do. I think if you actually do, are healthy through the winter and all that, come out, the benefit is in the summer. It's like, and you feel great, you look great, and you're already bikini.

27:34Peter Crouch: I'm not a big winter drinker, really.

27:36Abbey Clancy: No.

27:37Peter Crouch: I think it's just more kind of like your cosy pub vibes, isn't it? And stuff like that after work. People are not going to the park for a walk. Do they want to kind of go? See, I'd prefer to walk the dogs and get home and get them into the fire with like your dressing gown and stuff.

27:49Abbey Clancy: With the fire on in the pub, like in the winter. You know, when you look, if you're freezing and you look in a pub, how cosy they look. They don't look as cosy in the summer. No, they do not. It's more of a pub garden, isn't it? Do you know what I mean? When you walk past the pub, you see someone just reading the paper in front of the fire. Like maybe the dog on the floor. Stop it. You could have all this in the new house. Stop it. It looks cosy. It does look cosy. You can? Couple of pints. Perfect.

28:16Peter Crouch: And you've also got cuffing season again. Do you remember we spoke about that last year, Abby? Can you remember cuffing season? is that where people get like the girlfriend just up until christmas yeah yeah yeah and classes that cuffing seasons right back around the corner what are your thoughts on this piece because you kind of forgot about cuffing season until we spoke about it earlier

28:35Abbey Clancy: what are your thoughts on it i can't get my head around it i think it's i think it's an outrage it's like using someone through the months yeah to get a bit of warmth yeah can't be arse going out you'll do that's a shock you can see

28:55Peter Crouch: where it's coming from there

28:56Abbey Clancy: no one's going

28:58Peter Crouch: out in the winter everyone's saving up for Christmas so if you just get some

29:03Abbey Clancy: and there's loads of stuff to do in the summer it's like festivals yeah holidays

29:07Peter Crouch: but also it's a good time for the people who can't normally get with those types of people maybe isn't it do you know what I mean take you take you what it is because they're lowering their standards for season so that's your time to get in Do you mind if they end up liking you?

29:18Abbey Clancy: They're lowering their standards.

29:20Peter Crouch: Yeah, yeah.

29:22Abbey Clancy: Suppose just enjoy the winter if you're a cuffing.

29:23Peter Crouch: Imagine finding out you were the cuff afterwards. You thought it was a real relationship and then you found out you've been cuffed.

29:31Abbey Clancy: That word, cuffing, sounds really, really sinister.

29:34Peter Crouch: I know, cuffing.

29:35Abbey Clancy: I was like, you know, I met in a car park for some cuffing. That's that weird. Are you a cuffer or are you a cuffee? yeah I'm not sure about all that you know what I found as well the autovics you mentioned one already boyfriend's cold or shivering

29:55Peter Crouch: do you know what I don't like many of those Vicks inhalers who stuff them up the nose

29:59Abbey Clancy: oh yeah I know who you're talking about

30:02Peter Crouch: although I do like them

30:03Abbey Clancy: they are good though I do that

30:05Peter Crouch: you have your freaking lip balm

30:07Abbey Clancy: what's that

30:08Peter Crouch: your lip balm will come out now soon

30:10Abbey Clancy: I like my lip balm my lips burn in the summer. That's my issue with that.

30:16Peter Crouch: Yeah, but you have it in the winter as well.

30:18Abbey Clancy: Okay, pumpkin spice latte obsessives. That is the biggest thing ever. Anyone, anyone who orders a pumpkin spice latte leaves you in. If I saw a fully grown man go in and order a pumpkin spice latte, I think they deserve a slap.

30:39Abbey Clancy: Excuse me, mate. When are you just going up, just slap him in your face. Do you know what? You scream cuffed. You need to be cuffed. That's how you are. I can't. I reckon the person next to me said, oh my God, that's outrageous. How dare you slap it? I said, no, you just ordered a pumpkin spice latte. You carry on. Everyone. What about all the chocolate? Chocolate's okay. A pumpkin spice latte. If I went in there, what would you think? Yeah.

31:05Peter Crouch: She'd just look it up and down and go, you fucking knobhead.

31:11Fucking God, babe.

31:12Peter Crouch: There's a few things that you order that I go like that route.

31:17Abbey Clancy: Really? Mm-hmm. Not as bad as a pumpkin spice latte, surely.

31:21Peter Crouch: When you get a Caesar salad, I find that a bit weak.

31:24Abbey Clancy: Yeah, I love what you mean. I love what you mean. He's harmless, he's harmless. I do like a chicken Caesar sometimes, but...

31:32Peter Crouch: Or when you take the bread out of a club sandwich. I don't like that either.

31:35Abbey Clancy: Do I?

31:36Peter Crouch: Yeah. You said it's too much bread.

31:38Abbey Clancy: It's a lot of bread.

31:41Peter Crouch: I get it for that reason

31:44Abbey Clancy: Over Cozy couples Is that icky? Matching pyjamas We do that We're into that Not on a regular basis On Christmas Day

31:53Peter Crouch: I don't mind it But come on You can't be rocking them All fucking year You just left me hanging there

31:57Abbey Clancy: Sorry though Fluffy socks

31:59Peter Crouch: Yeah I like them I've got your socks on too

32:01Abbey Clancy: Men carrying umbrellas You have a go at me for that

32:03Peter Crouch: You always have a fucking umbrella

32:04Abbey Clancy: It's just so weird I just don't understand What the issue is with Do you want me to just get soaking wet like if I could walk down the road it'd be bone dry with an umbrella I will say Pete has the nice gold brollies

32:14Peter Crouch: they're less icky than like when you've got those little half ones that you like whip out do you know what I mean they knock me sick they knock me sick

32:21Abbey Clancy: yeah no no like when it's like that thing

32:23Peter Crouch: I've never used an umbrella that doesn't malfunction though it's always got one fucking metal thing sticking out poke your eye out it turns inside out like literally never had a normal umbrella

32:35Abbey Clancy: no Pete's got good ones I also want to put a ban on dry Jan because our birthdays are in Jan.

32:43Peter Crouch: No, you said this last week. It's my 40th.

32:46Abbey Clancy: That's what I mean.

32:47Peter Crouch: I just think as well, Pete, if you are planning something, it's now nearly October and you haven't even sent to save the date out or anything yet.

32:56Abbey Clancy: Yeah. You keep, you said to me that you don't want me involved.

33:02Peter Crouch: Oh, John will be in some fucking monk zone somewhere. Well, you treat in Bali. he'll be on a silent retreat in January Mr Lee

33:17Abbey Clancy: if you have a mountain in Japan doing a vowel silence

33:22Peter Crouch: literally god that's good I've been getting that bone broth from the from the butchers like frozen bone broth and you just have that instead of a cup of tea that through the winter bone broth is a game changer I haven't even heard of it you should be drinking that What is it? I've never even heard of it. So it's basically the stocks from the bones of any meat, but the goodness that it contains is phenomenal. Oh, I would have thought. So you just drink that, you just boil it in a pan and then just drink it like hot water. Oh, no. It's very tasty as well, but you can use it as a stock for your soups and stuff like that as well.

33:56Abbey Clancy: I want to have a little look at that.

33:58Peter Crouch: I'm hungry though now talking about all this.

34:00Abbey Clancy: You know what? Like genuinely, like we always go on winter shit and all that. There are a lot of good points in winter. You can have a lot of fun in winter as well. It's nice. Oh, I love seasons.

34:12Peter Crouch: Getting cosy, wrapped up, big coat. Oh, wellies. Oh, Solomon's on.

34:19Abbey Clancy: It's nice, you know?

34:20Peter Crouch: I love it. At autumn, I like, but by the time winter comes around, like February time, I'm ready for it to be over. But like autumn now when the leaves are falling, it's kind of still not... The run-up to Christmas is great. January to March is shite. Yes, agreed, agreed, agreed. Apart from your birthdays, obviously. And my mum's. yeah agony apps incoming okay

34:40Abbey Clancy: uh hi both love the podcast day one listener I have a dilemma with the girl I've been seeing on and off for the last year the context we're both 25 years old we get on so well every single box is ticked however she has two kids seven years old and four years old from a previous partner we've talked many times about this the dad of her kids is very much involved her parents and the dad's parents are very much involved too, which means we have a lot of time to spend together. She always said that she wouldn't ask me to become a stepdad and how she would be a little shocked if I was asking to meet her kids.

35:18Abbey Clancy: She has said if we became official, it would be a long time even then before I was introduced. Yeah. In my head, I just can't seem to get past the fact that she has kids. It's quite scary to me. Maybe it's because I have little to no experience with kids that age. I'm also a little bit worried what my parents are going to think about this again it's not like they're going to become grandparents to our kids all of a sudden it just feels like make or break now it's been on and off for a year so we either have to take it further or take a step back or go separate ways am I overthinking the whole thing and should I just put my thoughts to the side and make a go of it any advice appreciated thanks but yeah I think it's I think listen I think it's okay to be apprehensive with her having children.

36:06Abbey Clancy: It's not the end of the world. Plenty of people do it. You can make it work. If you love her that much, then you're going to love her family. Come with it. And it might be a nice thing. But you're allowed to be apprehensive about it. That's natural.

36:22Peter Crouch: Yeah, it is.

36:23Abbey Clancy: You know, there's another man in your life. The dad, you know, like that's not ideal, is it? No, it's not. It's not.

36:29Peter Crouch: I don't think he's being selfish here at all. It is a big thing to kind of accept. but you've got to make sure that as well, like, if you do come into kids' lives that you're mature and ready enough to do that because they might start looking at you like a new dad or stepdad or something and then if you aren't really up to the challenge then you leave their life. It's not really fair, is it?

36:47Abbey Clancy: That's exactly true. Like, if you go into it, I think you can't...

36:50Peter Crouch: Yeah, I think she's doing the right thing. 100%. I think she's doing the right thing, not introducing the kids. It has to kind of be on her terms but obviously if they're going to take it to the next level that is going to eventually happen. Definitely. And he needs to be sure that, as you say,

37:07Abbey Clancy: he's mature enough and ready to lose it. Well, she needs to be sure as well. That's obviously why she hasn't introduced him because she needs to be a million percent sure that he's serious about it before you kind of upset the dynamic.

37:22Peter Crouch: I think he needs to have a talk with her, say, where's this going? He needs to ask himself a few questions. Is he ready to take on this? The thing is, well, you kind of might not know what, if you are ready until you do meet the kids though, because he might meet the kids and it's fantastic dynamic with them and all that. But then he might meet the kids and they're a bit like, you're not my daddy and make the relationship really difficult. I'm not going to have a strain. So I don't think it's something you can make a decision on really without taking the relationship a bit further.

37:50Abbey Clancy: Definitely. Yeah. Let us know how you get on though, mate, but just talk it out with the girl, I think, you know, And you perhaps have to probably see her a little bit more than you have done before the kids as well. Yeah, agreed. If it's been on and off, let's make it exclusive, but without the kids still not involved. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then just introduce the kids when you know. Agreed. And you will know.

38:13Peter Crouch: And also you need to say, like, you know, for his sake, is she open to having more kids in the future? Because he might want a family and she might be done. Yeah, exactly. So there's a lot of talking to do, I think, on this one. That is big boy conversations. Which could scare people off as well. She could be like, whoa there, cowboy. She's probably quite mature. If she's had two kids at that age, she will be quite mature, I imagine.

38:38Abbey Clancy: Yeah. Well, let us know how you get on. Okay, hi, Abby and Pete. I was due to move to Canada. Then a fella come along and a house too. First real love at 34. I thought this is a sign and then it all unravelled. He was so nice. then he stopped sending good morning and good night messages. I feel this is the bare minimum. What do you think? Or am I being a diva? It all unraveled because she stopped getting good morning and good night texts.

39:06Peter Crouch: She was moving to Canada. She's met a guy.

39:09Abbey Clancy: Hold on, hold on. Everything's unraveled because you stopped texting her good night. That doesn't feel like unraveling to me. Unraveling is like, you know, he's got a family on the side. he's going out every night on the ale or something do you know what I mean I found out he was married with eight kids like that's unravelling yeah but it's

39:34Peter Crouch: a slippery slope it's a slippery slope you start it is if you start with getting complacent so early on you don't say to me good morning text

39:44Abbey Clancy: did you fucking run lying next to you I'll see you I'll say good morning good morning my princess please don't I do

39:52Peter Crouch: I do

39:52Abbey Clancy: you don't

39:53Peter Crouch: I do

39:54Abbey Clancy: I give you a kiss goodnight every night and a kiss good morning every morning every morning without fail

40:03Peter Crouch: yeah do I yeah and to be fair to this lady if you are in a serious relationship you generally do text someone in the morning and the evening if you're not together if you were on a holiday you'd expect Pete to text you in the morning or evening wouldn't you yeah and he doesn't shut up I'm sure he does

40:18Abbey Clancy: we speak about 18 times a day

40:20Peter Crouch: we have a rule which you do not stick by like if you're going to golf trip I said all I want you to do is text me when you're in bed and you don't and then you'll do the other side but P you were last seen before I woke up for a piss I woke up for a piss as he used me phone as a light I hate being there sister

40:38Abbey Clancy: I've been asleep for hours I'd have basically six, seven hours by then I was there

40:44Peter Crouch: such a liar if I did that my god woe be tied woe be tied yeah I think she might be being a little bit dramatic here but yeah

40:53Abbey Clancy: it's not unravelled is what I'm saying I think you just

40:56Peter Crouch: you should try and maintain those little things that make us like you know the opening of the car door the little you know you used to write me love letters all the time I only get them twice a year now valentines and birthdays

41:08Abbey Clancy: I think you know we've been together 20 years you are still getting them they're pretty good I'd say

41:18Abbey Clancy: okay hi abby and pete and ross please keep me anonymous i like it really i have a dilemma that i need your help with to set the scene me and my partner in our late 20s i've been together for a few years and are looking to move in together soon my partner usually doesn't drink much but the occasional blowout with his friends i trust my partner and i don't believe he would disrespect me but we don't see eye to eye on a recent situation so i'd love to know what you guys think a few weeks ago my partner was out with a couple of friends one of his friends is very much it is single era completely fair and he has a lot a lot of casual

41:54Peter Crouch: I think there's era things in it yeah I know what you mean I'm in my brassy era I'm in my fucking whatever era yeah I agree I'm in my horsewagon girl era oh yeah don't ever say my brash era instead of being in

42:07Abbey Clancy: for 25 years I'm in my brash era

42:12Peter Crouch: I'm in my house Mission House area.

42:15Abbey Clancy: Yeah, you are, yeah. Anyway, this fella's going out and he's having a lot of SEX, by the sounds of it. One of the current one-night stands had a few of her girlfriends over and after a few too many beers, the boys decided to go back to her house and carry on the night with them. My partner got very drunk and stayed out to the early hours of the morning. I don't believe anything dodgy happened, but here is my dilemma. My partner never lets loose around me and is genuinely quite restricted when it comes to drinking. I can't help but feel a little sad he went back and carried on his night. but as he would never have that much fun with me we also had plans the following day which were ruined by him feeling ridiculously hung over i raised how i was feeling with him but got completely shut down and made to feel like i am the problem i can't help but feel as though if the other way around he wouldn't have been too too pleased but in classic male fashion he claims he wouldn't care am i taking this too personally or is it reasonable for me to feel a little hurt by this i'm always up for staying out dancing and having fun with friends how do i get him to see me as someone to have fun with him too any advice would be greatly appreciated oh i love how diplomatic this girl yeah yeah that was me listen listen to what longshanks did on

43:26Peter Crouch: the weekends he's going out with the fucking going back to some bird's house does he think i'm a knobhead no i think the biggest red flag for me there is that he doesn't seem to be able to have fun with his girlfriend. You know, the coffin springs to mind there. Do you know some people, you know, are different people when they leave the door and hang out with their friends and then they're just like boring buggers at home. I think you have to be yourself.

43:54Abbey Clancy: I do think it's very important to have fun with your partner.

43:57Peter Crouch: Because?

43:57Abbey Clancy: I have a lot of fun with you. I know. I think that's the first person you should have fun with.

44:01Peter Crouch: That should be your first protocol for fun really, shouldn't it? Yeah, absolutely.

44:05Abbey Clancy: And we do have a laugh and I think, you know, there are a lot of people I know a lot of people who are different people at home to going out, like, once they get away from their partner, they're like, thank fuck for that. And they have a laugh, you know?

44:20Peter Crouch: But don't you think life's too short for that?

44:21Abbey Clancy: There's a lot of people like that, though. People are living like that a lot.

44:24Peter Crouch: Oh, my God.

44:26Abbey Clancy: I reckon there's a good 60 % of people live like that. Have a relationship like that. It's just not the ideal relationship, is it? I think if you want to have fun, and you've got to remember that people are boring as well. So being boring together is fine as well. you can be boring to give up if you're both in that way but if one of you is really fun and one's boring

44:42Peter Crouch: that spiel the other day someone said to us only boring people get bored I think that's a good one that's what my mum used to say to me all the time and I'd be like walking around Tesco I'd be like mum I'm bored and she'd be like only boring people get bored I'd be like okay sorry mum I'll just go and eat the grapes I'm actually never bored to be honest

45:02Abbey Clancy: life's not boring constantly evolving

45:07Peter Crouch: Yeah, but that doesn't sound like a fucking compliment. It definitely wasn't.

45:11Abbey Clancy: No, I think we could bring some boring to our life.

45:14Peter Crouch: Well, we will when we're sitting in our house. Yeah, because you can't afford to go out.

45:24Abbey Clancy: Yeah, so I don't know. I think this is a bit of a problem, if I'm honest.

45:29Peter Crouch: I agree. She sounds great as well, doesn't she? She's even been nice with the email. She sounds like she likes having a party. It's quite a nice email.

45:37Abbey Clancy: Yeah, it feels like, you know, that wasn't a bad... I don't think you should be going back to people's houses, you don't know.

45:43Peter Crouch: I'm sorry, but that's just enough. I agree as well. She's going to write self a bit of a bollock in here, I think.

45:49Abbey Clancy: Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's completely in the wrong.

45:51Peter Crouch: And she should say to him, look, if you're not going to get your act together, see you later.

45:55Abbey Clancy: Yeah, I agreed. It's a stern talking to you here. Yeah, go, go.

46:01Peter Crouch: We got time for one more, Pedro?

46:03Abbey Clancy: We haven't got one more, but... Yeah, it's tough, so. so no is the answer to that I've really enjoyed having a conversation with you today really needed that
