That was great life advice from you.

2:38You guys could do life coaching. That was quite rousing. Rousing. We're great with other people's lives. But what physical activity could you smash Pete up? Arm wrestle. You know, this has actually felt like the therapy couch rather than the crouch. That genuinely was an actual therapy session.

3:05Hello, welcome to Therapy Crouch, Ask Me Anything. I'm here, I'm Peter Crouch, there's Gaz. Hey, how are you? Shoot, I'm here. She's on her phone. Yeah, we're going to ask stuff. It's the episode. it's the episode oh nice look at that what a beautiful episode total professional would you like to apologise I never had any doubt that you had I said you're on your phone looking at the plan I'm really yeah I'm just obviously our listeners write in to us so I've got them up on here well I'll tell you what because you've got the plan do you want to kick us off ask me anything hi Abby Pete and Gaz I hope all is well just wondering if there could be a warning at the beginning of any episodes that involve meditation and relaxation.

3:50One morning whilst running my 5K, I was listening to your podcast episode, the guests that accidentally put the podcast to sleep. My run was going well until Chibs O 'Karakay arrived. Whilst Chibs was giving his meditation session, I could feel myself relaxing, mind-wandering, eyes-heavy, which resulted in me running into a branch and hitting the face. Were people watching? Absolutely. How do you ever recover from that? Love the podcast. You're an absolute scream. Take care, Lisa. See it does work old Chibso Carrickay But I've moved on to Dr. Lopez now Dr. Mario Lopez So I find myself like waking up in the middle of the night now So I use the meditation drifting back off to sleep Which I normally put on around 2am And it works But I am a huge fan of these meditations I think it just gets you in the right frame of mind The deep breathing, relaxation you know trying to control your mind and not let it wonder or over stress over things i've never really um thought about like like what that would be like if you did the calming app whilst on a run yeah you know what i mean like what it's like a counter can't is it it this shouldn't really work should it doesn't work but she wasn't doing that pete she was listening to our pod and we had chibs on no i know i know that but i'm just saying obviously she found herself She wasn't going there for that, but she found herself in a relaxing, you know, meditation zone with his voice.

5:22I just think I wonder what that would be like if you did go for a run and like, would it make you more relaxed? I don't know. Like a running technique? Because sometimes when you run, you're stiff and you hold yourself and you carry yourself with stiffness. When you speak to elite runners, they're relaxed. Like if you're for a hundred minutes. I was just about to say that I think for elite runners or people using running or exercise as a form of meditation or good for their mental health, it's because of the deep breathing. It's because of how you breathe when you're running. If you breathe correctly, that automatically relaxes you.

5:59Yeah, because I'm thinking if you're doing... The deep inhales, the long exhales, that is essentially meditation. meditation. I think if you're doing like 100 meters at the Olympics. Well, no, I'm not talking sprints. No, no, but I'm just talking like it. I'm just saying it'd be it's interesting to that mindset of like, because you're so tense, you know, like you're not going to get the best speed. I think if you if you do relax and you do kind of meditate beforehand, you'd be more loose. And I think you might get faster time. It's interesting what I'm asking. For me. Probably no one else. For me, it was interesting.

6:39If you want to do an 100-metre sprint, you want to be pumped. You want to be like, I'm ready. I'm ready to rock. You don't want to be like, oh, I'm going to take this in my stride. You want to be powered. No, but see, that's the interesting question. I would like to ask someone who's a 100-metre runner, I actually think they talk about being relaxed. I think if you're too tense, I think, you know, something might pull, you know, the breathing techniques are wrong and you actually go slower. I actually think the more relaxed you are, the more you would get. Well, all of this meditation is breathing.

7:14It's like when people need a cigarette to relax. It's not the cigarette that's making them relax. It's the deep inhale and the long exhale. It's just all about breathing. Breathing is important. And it regulates your nervous system. How do you breathe, Gaz? Absolutely. Are you good at breathing? I think I'm okay. So, yeah. You got this far, haven't you? Doing all right. Yeah, someone said to me the other day, I was walking down Oxford Street and they had water. And they were like, have you ever tried this? It was like a brand. And I was like, yeah, I've tried water. Do you know that kind of way?

7:42It's like one of those things. Yeah, oh my God. So they said to you, have you tried this? Yeah, they were like, hey, sir, have you ever tried this? And I was like, well, yeah, it's water. It's water. What is it? It was just water. It's just water. These weird things, like they've reinvented water. But it's the same people like breathing techniques. Like, have you ever tried breathing? you're like well yeah do you know you say that but is it just branding with the water because you know like if you've got like a volvic yeah or an evian or or i don't know a different type like there are types of water that i'd prefer to others yeah well can you taste the difference can you taste the difference babe yeah i can i can do you we never used to like evian but we love it now do you have a tier list top three waters it's thicker yeah i think i i would go highland in spring.

8:25Personally. It's rated, rate your top three waters, babe.

8:32Evian. Oh, number one. This is a viral clip. Wait to happen. Go on. Evian's number one. I like that. Voss. Oh, yeah. That's that's that's like. That's the glass spot or water. That's the beach club. Yeah. Or. Or, I don't know. Are we talking bottled waters? Yeah. What's the one that you get on the restaurant tables? It's not San Pellegrino, but it's something like that. Do you know what I mean? And it comes frosted cold. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is San Pellegrino. Is it San Pellegrino? That's the boss. No. But San Pellegrino's the fizzy one. Yeah, you get fizzy or steel, can't you? But it's come in a glass bottle.

9:13So when you know you've made it there. Yeah. Well, we've already decided. Any wankers drink sparkling? You sparkling man, Gaz? You know what? Never had it in my life. Came to this villa, the fridge was stocked full of them. It's the only water there was, and I had it. I did the exact same thing. I thought he was banging. Do you know what? I'm actually developing quite a like for it. Yeah. Not us at all, babe. Not fully. Yeah. That's maybe why Abi thinks I'm a wanker now.

9:44I can't get... Oh, my God. Oh, sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'll just drop my laptop. I can't get comfortable because I'm so far away from this bloody... Sitting in the corner, I feel like I'm just like legs akimbo. No one puts Abi in the corner. Pelvic floor. Well, I'm going to move on. John from Essex says, Hi Abi, Pete and Gaz. Here's a newly discovered male ick I have recently encountered. One Sunday morning while my girlfriend was out and myself leaving shortly, I decided to have a quick nibble toast. I got the butter out stuck stuck the bread in the toaster and I boiled the kettle when the toaster popped The newick was discovered on opening the butter I discovered my girlfriend had left many stab wounds in the new lure pack my OCD went into complete overdrive and I was horrified I immediately notified her mother and sister and asked if she'd been brought up or dragged up Her name is Sydney.

10:38She listens and I hope she hears this with her newfound nickname the lure pack ripper great show kind regards John Essex see I do have a bit of an issue with like crumbs in butter and people when people don't just like smoothly slice across the top people just hack it and leave crumbs and bits of whatever else I totally agree there is nothing more sexual than when you get a butter that's that's not freezing cold that comes out and you for some reason and you get it out, it must have just gone back in. Did you just say sexual? Yeah, it's fantastic. It's a real buzz when you get that, get quite a lot on an easy, like, it's not hot, it's not melted or anything.

11:28It's still cold, but it swipes really easy. There's something good about that. I'm learning about you. You love things that just go just smooth. You were talking about the action on a shopping trolley the other week, do you remember that? Yeah, yeah. It was so smooth, Gaz. It was a really smooth shopping toilet. I actually like things that go smooth as well, Gaz, but it never normally seems to go smoothly for me, honey.

11:52Yeah, it is good. I don't like that hacking thing. We once, me and Abba were with someone who was incredibly posh once, and we had a cheese board after, and someone said, the person who was incredibly posh, Oh my God, who's nose debris? Nose debris. We were like, pardon? Because obviously you slice from the side, not from the end. From the corner. So you know the nose of the debris. Oh, okay. So you just take that and you go like that and hack down that way. Apparently you go from the side. See, add nose debris at home, but not in public. Has never as a posh as statement been said. Who knows the brie?

12:38I'm always nosing the brie. I'm a noser. Are you a noser? I must be. I didn't think there was any other way. There'll be plenty of people out there, but let me just tell you the technical... You're not supposed to nose the brie. As I found out. Isn't that true, babe? Abs, are you a noser? I have noses to brie sometimes. I'd nose it at home, but not in an event or anything. I've realised that if you're out for dinner... If you're out for dinner, then you know, that's the etiquette. I love it, it's so good. It's one of my favourites, brie. I actually like it for breakfast with a really, like a hot, if you can get a hot French stick, brie, pate, salami.

13:19That's one of my faves, isn't it, babe? It is. And I normally get it for you, don't I? You do get it for me, because she knows I like it. That sounds banging. That's real love. Got to start up in there. Okay, Charlotte from Essex says, help moving across the world advice hi all my partner i listen listen to your podcast for years and i just love the perspective on other relationships we're considering moving across the world from london to la in january 2027 as it approaches and gets more real i'm getting more scared but i keep thinking of abby always giving advice that she would like to move and take the jump but what about friends and family she seems so close to all of her friends that she's known forever how would she cope for context we're 31 and 36 just married two months ago both have great finance jobs in london but we'll leave our jobs to move and find new ones out there i've told my boss he's hiring for my replacement we're listing our house for sale in chelsea it all feels very real we're up for the adventure but we have such amazing friends and life here we know no one out there at all it would be starting from scratch 11 hour flight away so people can't visit regularly please give me the positivity i need to boost me and tell me we're doing the right thing charlotte of messicks i i just think that the world is so big i think any adventure you have the opportunity to take you should grab it by the horns and just do it you know so many people live their life in one place and you know have the same routine every day and if you've got that opportunity take it it's like you know I am such a home person and I never in a million years thought I'd come over here to Portugal and be like I don't want to go back you know it's um you can and the people that I've met I'm so happy and you kind of I think you grow and you change and you I don't know, I just think you should take every opportunity you can and have as much life experience because one day you'll wake up and you'll be an old man or an old woman and you'll think, you know, why didn't I do this, why didn't I do that?

15:30Like fear held me back or friends and family because another thing that I've learnt is depending on what type of person you are, you kind of live, well, I certainly have lived my life to like, oh, but I can't leave that person or I've got to do this and generally 99 % of the time people are thinking about themselves and while you're busy thinking about other people, they're thinking about themselves and if an opportunity comes up for them, they'll do it and then you're left kind of disappointed so you should just take that adventure because you can always come home if it doesn't work out and you don't need to beat yourself up if it doesn't work out and if you've got a great job, you can get another one.

16:12If you're confident in yourself and your abilities, is you can get another job anywhere in the world. But I think once you take that plunge, you'll absolutely love it. And you definitely should do it. Yeah, I understand the trepidation, like, you know, being a bit nervous about it because they're moving with kind of... It feels like, you know, they've got a life already and they're just starting a new one. It's not as if they've got a job out there already and they have to go. That becomes easier then. I think the fact that you're just trying a change and then you'll get a job out there, that I understand why you'd feel like that definitely but I'm in LA now right and I would say like I could live here in a heartbeat I reckon I reckon we would love it as a family from what I've seen I want more low-key than the LA though I would prefer more low-key yeah but I don't know what like we've we have done nothing of any high-key you just told me you're getting an iced coffee in a coffee shop last week a matcha you can get what's wrong I I didn't get a matcha.

17:12I would never get a matcha. It's roasting hot and I got an iced coffee. I did because someone else ordered it and I went, I'll have one of those. There's nothing like, I don't know what you think. Do you feel like you're in nature there though? Because I feel like I've got a real - You wouldn't believe where we are honestly. I'm looking out over the city. my body is screaming out for grounding and sometimes a little bit more primitive. Honestly, I had that impression of LA when I was at home. I've got out here, where we are now, I can't hear a pin drop. Yeah. It's so nice, but I'm looking at the city and thinking, oh, God, that looks like absolute carnage.

17:52And we're just kind of up here, and you can't hear a thing. I can't hear, there's not a car, is there? No. It's so quiet and lovely. It is serene. It really is serene, yeah. But that's like when you horse riding on the beach, you're going through the forest, and it's not like a person. and it's like you're going past fig trees and you know the cork trees you know Portugal's got like a lot of cork which I found out today which I thought was quite the mass producer of cork I did not know that very interesting but yeah I think listen go for it but I do understand it that would be quite nerve wracking kind of going with not having the if they're newlyweds though as well and they're in it together they can they're both starting afresh together it's been married two months new adventure you know what have they got to lose it's not like they've got like kids to worry about and going oh my god we've got to get schools they're going to leave their friends which is kind of things we've faced and you know worried about a lot like when we came over to Portugal but it's you know they've just totally embraced it and met new friends and it's just it just opened your eyes to like there's a huge world out there and you can just do whatever you want.

Hey, I'm Paige DeSorbo from Giggly Squad, and I want to talk to you about Arm & Hammer Hardball Cat Litter because when it comes to fighting cat odor, they are the champs. Like, what smell? The litter box was my biggest fear when I got my kitty Daphne, but since I started using Arm & Hammer Cat Litter, I don't notice any cat smell. I always feel confident about anyone stopping by, whether it's my friends or my family or even people in my building.

20:25So for my fellow cat parents, be guest ready with Arm & Hammer Hardball Cat Litter. Find it now at Walmart or Amazon.

20:36Agreed, babe. Agreed. I think go for it. I think so. That was great life advice from you two. You guys could do life coaching. That was quite rousing. We're great with other people's lives. That's true. That's true. Hi, Pete, Abby and Gaz. Loving the podcast and I find myself listening to it on days I feel anxious and it really makes me feel better. My question. I'm 23. My boyfriend's 25. We've been together for seven months and it's very hard to find a gentleman these days, especially in Essex. So I'm holding on tightly to him, but I find myself in doubt as we're opposites. I plan my weekends months in advance and he does not.

21:19If I don't have a plan, then that stresses me out. But a plan stresses him out. I'm struggling to find the middle ground and it's caused our relationship to have some distance sometimes. and I've been told I'm suffocating him when we have disagreements. He won't text me for a day or two, which makes me really anxious. I told him this, but he still does it on every slightly bigger tiff. Any advice on how to cope with this? Is he just immature and should I wait for him to grow up? Lots of love, Charlotte. Okay, so I am an expert in this field because this is something that Pete and I suffer with.

21:58Go for it on a regular basis. go through on a regular basis I am like and I'm not saying one's right and one's wrong but I like to plan everything I like to have structure and not out of being kind of controlling just because we've got four kids schedules our job is quite erratic it's not like a normal nine to five so for me a plan means safety and a plan means you know what you're doing and you can kind of breathe but for the opposite of that a plan can mean you're suffocating them it's controlling you'd you know it's stressful and that's what we both kind of have to work on I think do you Pete?

22:44Yeah it's definitely something we need to work on because it's you know we're completely different in that in that scenario yeah I think structuring a plan I understand it yeah that's good but at times it can be a bit like oh why can't we just you know kind of live in the moment i know no but we do we do we do as a couple live in the moment but i think for you especially like you've had from a very young age your whole life planned out for you and told you have to be at training at this time you have to eat this you have to eat at this time you have to eat this certain food at this time you go to bed you get picked up here's your tracksuit to wear you know so it's kind of you haven't had to do all and then you've kind of gone from football to me doing that.

23:28Do you know what I mean? I think that... This has actually felt like the therapy couch rather than the crouch. That genuinely was an actual therapy session. So, Amy, I'm not sure if that's what you wanted. I'm not very articulate because it's fucking midnight here and I'm exhausted. All right, then, we'll move on to Daisy for Portsmouth. And I've got to go to bed and plan tomorrow. Do you want to read one, Gazza? Do you want to read one? Okay. This is from Amy. Hey, Pete, Abby and Gaz. My partner is obsessed with your podcast, so much so that he can't fall asleep without listening to it most evenings.

24:04At first, I thought this was an ick, but now I realise he's just the sweetest boy. He even went on a lad's holiday to Tenerife and had his phone stolen and had to beg one of the other lads to play the podcast from the other phone at night so that he could fall asleep. He still gets rinsed by the lads for it now. It's his birthday in June, and I know if you could feature this on one of your episodes, it would make him laugh. Also, Abby, if you could wish him a happy 29th birthday, that would be the best present he could ever get, apart from the Gunners winning the league. Thanks so much in advance.

24:31Supportive girlfriend, Amy. What's his name? Ah. Errrr. Doesn't give it. Oh, so you want to wish him a happy birthday, but you haven't got a name. Errr, yeah, there's no name. Yeah, just say, Amy's fella. Oh my God. Happy birthday, Amy's fella, first and foremost. but I'm actually insulted by that comment. Like, are we that boring we're putting him to sleep? Or are we making him feel, like, safe and secure, he can relax and go to sleep? It's a comfort blanket, isn't it? I reckon it's a comfort blanket. I think so. I think, listen, I think that you take that as a compliment. It's, you know, he likes listening to it.

25:11I've been putting audiobooks on in the evening. I absolutely love them at the moment. So have I. I'm all over it. Can't get enough of it. I've got a massive thing to say on audiobooks, though. Here we go. Fucking AI ruining it. AI is ruining audiobooks. Yeah, it's like... AI-generated voices. I just cannot do it. I want, like... I need, like, Stephen Fry. Yes. I want Stephen Fry, Matthew McConaughey. Yeah, good voices. But do you know what's weirder? AI is also now writing books. So they're writing books, then reading out their own written books. Do you know what I mean? Where does it end? Is it even a book at that point?

25:48No, I don't know what that is. It's weird, isn't it? Game's gone. Game is gone. All right, then. All right. That was just Ab wishing him a happy birthday, was it? I think so. Well, the fact that he listens to you to fall asleep, yeah. Happy birthday to you. All right, let me read Daisy, right? Portsmouth. Hey, Abbie, Pete and Gaz. I love that name, Daisy. It is a nice name. Massive fan of yours. I've been listening since day one. I know you guys are super competitive and I know that in past Abby has said she could beat Pete in a race. I love you, but I highly doubt you could Abby. No offense. Daisy, bye bye.

26:29You get battered baby, joking. What physical activity. Pete? Alright. So she's saying obviously you'd lose a running race, but what physical activity could you smash Pete at? Physical activity. Physical, arm wrestle? You could beat me in an arm wrestle. I could beat you in an arm wrestle. I could beat you in a thumb war. Thumb war maybe, yeah. Not an arm wrestle, come on. Arm wrestle? Are you joking? Are you mad? Babe, I swear you've got me down as some sort of wimp. I played Premier League football. No! Premier League football. I played international football. I'm not a fucking... What are you taking me for here?

27:16You would get battered in arm wrestle. I could beat you in a sack race. A sack race? Maybe. Yeah, potentially. Potentially. Can we do this arm wrestle? I could beat you in an egg and spoon. I struggle with sack race. Because I'm too long. I'll tell you what a massive ick is, by the way. Peter, obviously going up in that hot air balloon the other day, I had to kneel down on it because he was too tall. That is an ick. That is an ick. I'm sorry I'm not being disrespectful to you. Being too tall is not an ick, is it? I had to kneel down. If you get told to kneel down in a hot air balloon, that is...

27:57You know, he said to me I could go up. But I'm not joking. That thing was so hot. Sid's neck was burned. So can you imagine where Sid's neck is and where my head is? Well, I was watching the Michael Jackson movie last night when his head went on fire, it's no joke. Can you seriously imagine, I've got like, I had some wax on my hair. Not with all that product you use as well. How did Michael Jackson's head set on fire? Like a walk-in flammable ball. Yeah, that's what I mean, I genuinely, and also my hip was way above the thing. I mean, obviously I get how that looked, and I could imagine that was an ick for you.

28:36It was pretty icky for me, but I'd rather give you the ick. It'd be good for a while, we though. You could just like lean, lean over. I'd rather give you the ick than singe my whole hair off and fall out of the basket. OK, well, listen, Bale, I know it's slightly later there, so get yourself to bed. Yeah, it's way past my bedtime. It is. Over here. All right, we'll get yourself to bed. Thanks for listening, guys. That's the Ask Is Anything, and we'll see you next time. See you next time. Bye. Cheers.
