The Therapy Crouch discusses workplace romance scandal and moral boundaries, plus listener advice on confidence in youth football and relationship/dating dilemmas. They also chat about family life, home renovations, nostalgia vs modern tech, and “word of the week” banter.
No external guests. Hosts are Abby Clancy, Peter Crouch, and Gaz (with their “fairy friends”/dogs mentioned as recurring bits). Listener callers write in anonymously.
Abby Clancy is a TV personality/model and a mother; Peter Crouch is a former professional footballer and father; Gaz is a co-host and family member (no formal guest bio given).
Don’t pursue someone who’s in a relationship; waiting for him to leave isn’t “morally correct” if he’s still dating. For the footballer: confidence drops during practice matches; keep encouraging, don’t shame, and stick with it.
A teacher writes about a man with a girlfriend who kisses her and still goes on holiday with her; advice is to move on. Another listener describes a seven-year-old who loves drills but freezes during practice matches and sometimes cries.

2:47The relationship with Abby and Pete is exactly how I feel for this man. Intense love. Doom, then. Doom.
2:58Hello, and welcome to The Therapy Crouch with me, Abby Clancy. Me, Peter Crouch. Me, Gaz. Gaz over there. We've got Geoffrey, Ralph and Bambi. Yeah, we've got our fairy friends back. We're back at the house. The dogs have been in the farm. Lib cried when she saw Bambi. she thought that Catherine had swapped her dog because we've actually got a new addition to the family, Gaz. No way. Oh, my God. Who's the new addition? The new addition is Coco. Coco, what name? Our Pomerpoo. Pomerpoo. Coco. You believe this, Gaz? Pomeranian Poodle. Yes. Pomerpoo. You just saw that. There's three dogs, right? There's four kids in there.
3:39There's another dog floating around now. There's a cat. Apologies, I sound like Barry White today as well. Oh, yeah. Just got a little bit of a throat infection. You'd think he was partying, but he hasn't been. We've been on a very wholesome week. Bit of that as well. The family, yeah. Where have you been? What have you been up to? We went to this amazing little island. Don't say it. Don't say what it's called. We went to Top Secret, a little island off the UK. And it was just a week packed with wholesome fun. It was amazing. It was good fun. Gorgeous friends invited us there. And we just had the most incredible time.
4:15It was, you know, so there's only about 1 ,500 occupants on this island. There's a load of history there. It's lovely. And we had, like, there was a triathlon. A triathlon? Sophia swams 300 metres in open sea. Phenomenal B3 men who'd been gearing up for this all year. Oh, my God. There was a talent contest for the kids, Lib One, singing down the hill. Pete didn't win the island's strongest man did you give it a good go? I was like that one of our friends he won it which was great so it was just like action packed the beaches sandcastle competitions oh my goodness you know it was just fabulous all action wholesome fun all action and you've come back sounding like you've been on a stag do poor thing my throat's gone a little bit but it's all good you wear it well you're wearing it well well you know it is what it is I'll do anything for my listeners our listeners I think it's quite sexy until I kiss them and then like snot drips onto my face you know it's not ideal at all I went round the fire pit Love Island style I need to jet wash this it hasn't had much attention does it?
5:28no because we're still in mass renovations at our house we're still camping in our own house which is quite fun you know I just ordered a digger to come tomorrow did you really? Because I'm sick to death of waiting for someone to dig out those dead trees, so I'm going to do it myself. We've got a mini digger. You've got a mini digger? Yeah. Is this the one you drove around the other day? We drove around, yeah. Little Jack's behind the camera there, yeah. We had a little go on it the other day. Was it good fun? It was great fun. I didn't think I could dig a tree up with that, though, could I? No, you could dig a tree up.
5:58It's more transporting stuff, I think. Okay. Yeah, it's not really a digger, is it? It's like a transporter. It's just like the compound renovation. are underway. No, just can be completely self-sufficient. Picking our own veg, cooking it, eating it. How's all that going for you? Just fab. Yeah? Absolutely amazing. There is something special about doing that, isn't it? Really, really nice. Like, I don't know. It's got to be good for you, isn't it? Oh, gotcha. You know, picking your own veg. What do you think about cushions in this area? Or do you think it's a fire hazard? No, I think they're far enough away from...
6:35No, because once the fire's on, if the wind blows and a little bit of lit flint would land. Is that a fire hazard? I don't think so. Yeah, I guess people in the comments let us know. Have a look if you're watching on YouTube. This is how dull we are now. I love it. We are boring. You're not boring. We are. We're into this stuff like gardening. Yeah. We were going to bed, like listening to history podcasts of the place we were at. And we did that when we were in Montauk as well. Yeah. You know, there's a famous island there called Gardener's Island, which was given to the guy, something gardener, by the Crown in like the 1600s.
7:15And it's phenomenal what he'd done. He built like a singular house on there and produced wood and crops and built this house and there was horses on there and it burned down at one stage. Even like Trump is not allowed on there. Really? It's remained in the gardener family. It's only ever been in the gardener family. Occupied by the gardener family. And no one's ever been on there other than the gardeners. That's amazing. Incredible, isn't it? That's in Montauk. Yeah. Well, off Montauk. Just off the private island. Unbelievable. No, I think for your future, this is lovely. It's a bit like, was it Monty Don?
7:48Was it Gardener's World? All that sort of stuff. Was it Titch Marsh? Did he do the garden? I wish I could get Alan round here. We should try and get Alan on here. I'd love that. And we could do a bit of a live pod in our vegetable patch. Because, you know, the UK is getting hotter. Gardens have to adapt. They need to adapt to less water. You know, we've got tanks here, rainwater storage tanks, which have been empty now. You know, hosepipe bands and you can't water. So we need to put in plants that are more sustainable and with less water. Ah, okay. So I'd love Alan to come on and... Yeah, is Alan still the goat?
8:25He's the goat? Is he still doing bits? I don't know. Oh my God, I love him. I love him too, but I can't remember the last time I saw him do anything. I don't know. I could wear no bra, have dirty fingernails. Oh, what was his name? Charlie Dimmock. Charlie Dimmock vibes. I used to love her as well. I love that that's her legacy, is the no bra thing. I remember that even as a kid, it was like, no bra Charlie Dimmock. Yeah. That was just her thing. That was it. Yeah. Good for her. I'm not up for that, baby.
8:54It's, you know, you have to learn and educate yourself. And I am not, I want a physical person. I'm not a YouTube girl. You like an actual demonstration, a proper lesson? I want a human. Yeah. I want human connection and I want to touch it and feel it and get my hands dirty. I don't want to listen to some tit on YouTube telling me what to do. Alan Titmarsh. I want the real tit, Marsh. So have you got any weekly wines for me, Pedro? I have got one for you, yeah. You know what Ab's doing at the moment? As you know, we're renovating this house. She's enticing me with this dirty weekend away. Oh, yeah.
9:32She keeps going to me. It's a night, by the way. This is going to be good. like, you know, we'll have a nice little, just us, you know, all that enticing me. Do you know what it's for? It's to Harrogate for the tile shop. She's enticing me, right? So I drive her to Harrogate for about four and a half hours. And then I'll probably get up there and it's a dirty weekend to be me looking at tiles. So we need to go to La Pascida. It's the biggest showroom in the UK because I've ordered a few bits and, you know, what's in your head and then it's like, Like, oh, it's not right. And I need to go. They've got a showroom in London.
10:09They've got a smaller selection, which I've done most of the bathrooms and blah, blah, blah. But this kitchen floor needs to be right. But we've been with the kids. We haven't had a day away from, well, you have. You had seven weeks, but that's another story. But I have not had. Working, by the way. I have not had a night away from the kids. So I just thought we can go kill two birds at one stone. Yeah. You know, we could sleep in the same bed. Yeah, there you go. In a hotel. That sounds unreal. Pick the tiles. Win-win. You'll be happy. I'll be over the moon. That does sound like your dream day, to be fair, doesn't it?
10:41Tiles all day and then romantic. Pea in the evening. Pea in the evening. To be honest, I'll be shattered by the time we've finished to look at the tiles. Because it's like a show. All I know, it's an eight hour there and back with absolutely nothing to show for it. Oh, mate. That's exactly where you'll be. Anyway, we'll get to some audience wine, shall we? Well, we've been inundated with Harry Cure suggestions. Do you remember this story last week? This is the paintball thing. Yeah, everyone's having this. I know who it is. It's like, who shot Phil? And it's so funny, because when you revealed this guy to me, I knew it was going to be him.
11:14Did you ever ask what everyone says? Don't you ever ask what everyone says? No, because if you know, I think it's an interesting one. We've got here, so Tom Lee says, who shot Harry Cure? Forget JR. My mind is on Yossi Benayoun. Just a hunch. I love Yossi. Love him. Brad Evans, who shot Harry Kuehl? Are we actually going to rule them out and say no? I don't think we can comment. No, you can't rule anyone. Who shot Harry Kuehl? Kara, definitely. Randolph? I think we can safely say it's not Kara because he'd be like, I'm what? I did do it, I'm what? What are you going to do? Yeah, he probably would add up to it immediately, wouldn't he?
11:49He just did Harry from there and then. Rule out Kara. Just a quick one on the pod, last debate. I want to chip in on who shot Harry Kuehl debate. I believe the real culprit who shot Harry Kuehl at paintball whilst in the dead zone with Steve Finn and Jermaine Pennell just thought I'd put a spanner in the works Bosch regards to your families Randolph interesting listen all great guesses we're not going to comment keep them coming and let us know feels like the new part doesn't it who shot Harry Kiel I remember we did it on the Peter Crouch pod oh really we did the same thing right he kicked off hi Cardi P the Clans oh god what was that nickname you said you didn't want to stick?
12:34Saggy sack. Oh, sag sack, yes. Have we had any? Not yet, you know, probably because you said don't let it stick. Saggy sack? Saggy sack. Okay. It's not one you want, is it? Hey Cardi P, the Clans and Gaz. I'm a loyal listener from episode one and love your advice in different ways of approaching a situation or a problem. So, can you please help me and my beautiful seven-year-old grandson with his confidence on the footy field? I appreciate Pete's views as a former player and Abby as a mum. Off the pitch, I've got Pete's glasses on, by the way, because I've just... They've fallen off your face.
13:07I've just broke mine. Oh, what happened to them? I don't know. I've just picked them up off the floor and the lenses out on because all my sunglasses are in a box somewhere. I'm screwed, but I've got old fat heads over here. They're actually too big for me, though. What have you done to these? I don't know. They were$20 from a stall in New York. I don't think they're high quality. Are they a pair sole? Fake pair sole. Oh, is it? Rair sole. Are they a pair sole? They're massive, aren't they? Off the pitch, he's confident. He's a confident, happy boy who loves life and lots of friends and loves school.
13:43He's new to the footy training. He's been going for about six weeks. He has friends from school there. And it was his request to go. And he loves all the drills and practices. But as soon as the practice starts, he turns into a shell of himself. He stands still with his hands behind his back and looks lost. He won't tackle or run at the ball and ends up standing watching everyone else running around him. Sometimes he leaves the pitch crying and wanting to go home.
14:11We've spoken about together and to his coaches who all agree he's very talented and will make a great central player. And he just needs a bit of confidence and not to be scared to hurt people as they're wearing shin pads, etc. He started to say he doesn't want to go and as it gets nearer to Saturday morning. but again he loves the drills and hates the practice match any idea how we can give a little gentle boost thanks you both for being brilliant enjoy your new home with your beautiful family lots of love kristy p.s i've attached some pictures of him with my granddaughter with my daughter and her beautiful family oh he's only a little baba in the middle so i you know i um i think this is a common thing very i think it's very different playing at home with your friends or your dad than going onto a pitch because I think even at that age, the kids recognise who's better than them and it does become a little bit more intimidating.
15:04Like I scream at my son from the sideline, get stuck in, get stuck in. Drag him off the pitch, stop ducking out the tackles and I'm going to kill you, don't I? I'm so bad where Pete's like, it's okay. When we were away, the kids had like a mini sports day thing. And this little kid read to me, I think one of my kids came second or something. And they said, oh, it's okay. It's not about winning. It's about having fun. And I was like, no, it's not. It's about winning. You either win or you go home. And the kid was like, oh, my God. I just think you've got to be in it to win it. And I think you have to have that mentality.
15:43So that's something I try and instill in my kids. you know a lot of kids do shy away from that kind of coaching they need like encouragement you're amazing you can do it rather than you know getting screamed at yeah i think listen with regards to this lad here it this happens and i think something just drops you just got to stick with it um it's frustrating because you wanted because you could see he's talented and he's not showing it um but something does drop and i do think you have to be like you know come on like Did you ever hate it? There's a few things. I mean, listen, I ducked out of tackles and stuff like that sometimes, like when I was a kid.
16:18And, you know, my dad just told me no certain terms that that wasn't the case. You shouldn't, you know, you can't do that. And then, yeah, it ended up the penny drops and you're steaming. You realise it doesn't hurt. You know, you're not hurting someone else. But I do that to Jack. And then on the next breath, I'm running onto the pitch to wipe the snot from his nose in the winter. Yeah, yeah. Or putting like a coat on him mid-game when it starts to rain. That's not... And Pete's like, you can't scream at him and tell him to not duck out of tackles and then you're putting a rain jacket on him when he's playing footy.
16:51Yeah, he's got like a kit on. You can't have like a rain jacket on him. My baby! No, it's part of the fun in the rain. But yeah, listen, what I will say is stick with it. He's a baby. I've just seen him there. He's a little baby. They will get it. And Jack, who's behind the camera now, you need to get it. But Jack's had it. Get stuck in. Jack's had it before where he's been told by other players in the team, you're rubbish at football, and that upsets him, and then he leaves crying. Right. Yeah, as he would do, I guess. And he's not. He's very, very good. And he's not. He's amazing. So I'm like, you know.
17:26He's doing very well. You just have to. Yeah, but listen, people are always going to be, you know, they're always going to try and bring you down, especially when you're good at something. Yeah, if you're shit at something, no one cares, and you don't get any comments. You know, that's very true. If you're good, people are going to try and bring you down. And you just have to find it within yourself to be strong. And, you know, put your blinkers on and the old sticks and stones thing. That's great advice. Hi, Abby, Pete and Gaz. Abby, please share your makeup tips. What's your go-to foundation and lip colour?
17:57Particularly in this episode, which lip shade is this? And Abby, I'd love you to start your own YouTube channel, walking us through your organisation techniques, mum tips, birth stories, and go into detail on endo, etc. New house design and interiors, makeup tips, fashion, your career, and just week-to-week bits. I'm a super fan. I'm a super fan. Is this my mum? No, I'm joking. So many of us watch The Therapy Crouch because we find you so inspiring and we love Pete too and the band you share together. I currently have a five-month-old baby, Archie, and we love watching you guys on YouTube. Love, Sandy.
18:30So my foundation is the best foundation I've ever used in my life. It's relatively new. It's by Lisa Aldridge, and I use shade T9, which is slightly more olive than my own complexion. I kind of have to fake it because I'm naturally white and pink. Right. Aren't I? White and pink. I'm a bit pink. Are you? I think so. A little bit pink in the sun, you mean? Yeah, I'm very white. My lip colour, I love Pillow Talk, and my Rimmel Cappuccino lip liner. but I'm not very well presented today because I couldn't find a brush. My tongs, my sister who normally does my hair is away on her makeup trial, funny enough, for her wedding.
19:17So it's just a bit of Raiden Sophia's makeup bag. But I like a natural lip colour lip. I actually want to get that lip tattoo again. I had this lip blush tattoo once and it was amazing. years and years ago, like before lockdown. Tattoo? Yeah, it's like a lip blush, so you don't have to wear lipstick, and then you just put, like, lip balm on, and it just all... So you tattoo the colour on? Mm-hmm. Wow. Yeah, I'm more Charlotte Tilbury with the base, and then I like the L 'Oreal eyelash things. Did you order that? Juicy tubes. And then I usually go with a Saint-Germain, somewhere it's... Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
20:02Yeah. And a Rimmel, did you say? Rimmel. Rimmel London. Rimmel. That's why I got the London look. No, I am... Thanks for asking. I think I use the Charlotte Tilbury cream bronzer as well, which I love. It's pricey, but it's very good. It's the Westman contour stick. But to be honest, because when I go to work, I get my makeup done. I'm very minimal at home. Right, right, right. He's telling people this sort of thing is like giving away trade secrets. Are women quite personal about the kind of stuff they use? No, I'm not like a, does he say gatekeeper? Gatekeeper, yeah. No, I share everything. You get everyone, though.
20:37You do look good. I can understand why people want to. Not today. I just tried to use my freckle pen, but it just didn't work. What's a freckle pen? Like you draw your freckles on. I don't need that. Ab, just a quick one. Last week on the show, you were talking about effervescent electrolyte drinks. I think I said that right. Great word. And that prompted you to say, I think we should do a word of the week on this pod. I wondered if you thought about that and if you had anything for the listeners this week. So my favourite word is loquacious. Ooh. I use it often. And I probably use it in the wrong context because I normally get loquacious after a few glasses of wine.
21:14Okay. I have a clue what that means. Even more chatty, loose-lipped, loud. You know when someone's talking a lot, and it's like, ooh, someone's loquacious today. That's a great quality to be. It's a nice wear, but yeah, I like that I'll keep this up same time next week Or is it Abby's word of the day? Abby's word of the week, yeah Really?

23:27You're not going to believe what I was drinking the other night. Bosball. Smirnoff Ice. Smirnoff Ice. Smirnoff Ice. I had loads of them. Was that because we did this episode? No, it's because where we were on this trip, it's literally like going back in time. You know, it was just fab, and it was smearing our faces at the bar. Oh, my God. They're too sweet. It's good. I think it just slipped down so easy. I got right back into it. I get a sore throat of them. Yeah, well, so did I. Well, the grey ones, are you having the grey ones? The sort of icy... No, it's in a glass bottle. There is only one, isn't it?

Yeah, it tastes like nothing else. Sylvak's Blind Date or Modern Dating Apps? Floor is yours. It's got to be... See, I wish they'd bring that back and let me host it. I could be the new Sylvak.

24:33Yeah, and you can sing. Then I can sing, yeah. Surprise, surprise. Surprise, surprise. I used to love Blind Date. I think it's phenomenal. It was a great show. The dating apps are an incredible thing, aren't they? Like an invention. What are you talking about? Not for me, but I'm just saying it's a... If we split up, would you go on a date now? Probably not. It's tricky, this one, because they're not quite comparable, are they? One's a TV dating show. Well, it just feels like, you know, this obviously is groundbreaking, isn't it? Those dating apps and stuff. It's a pretty different way of looking at things.
25:07but Blind Date was incredible. Do you think you could, you can like sum up your personality in a profile biog? It's quite misleading, isn't it? You know, you've got to put your best picture on, your best traits, your best interests. It's not really, I'm an absolute psycho after three glasses of wine. You know, I look like shit in the morning when I wake up. That's the same, that's the same. But at least when you're meeting people for the, I personally like the good old-fashioned way where you just start chatting to someone and you'd have common interests. They intrigue you. Well, where are you going to go with them?
25:47Blind Date? I'm going to go Blind Date. I am as well. How did Blind Date used to wrap up the show? We used to go with other people. So they'd pick three. Yeah. There'd be three there. They'd pick one. They'd whip them down. And then they'd just go back and stop and do a little wave. Exactly like Fernando's. Where did they go? And then they'd go away on holiday. Did they, though? Yeah. I'm not sure they did. They'd go away, because I remember you used to watch their date. I think you'll get a thing that Paddy McGuire won mixed up. No, no, no. They used to go away. Did they? Yeah, and they used to do clips and stuff.
26:20I don't think they did. Yeah, they had clips of them going away. I'm not sure they did. We'll have to check this one afterwards, won't we? I'm pretty sure. Yeah, because I can't quite remember how it resolved. Because it's not enough, is it, just to wave and say goodbye? How old are you, Gaz? 30, nearly 34. Yeah. So yeah, probably are too young for a blind date. I think I was around for her. I used to love her. She was class. We were talking about Funhouse the other day. Funhouse. Pat Sharp. Pat Sharp. Whole lot of fun. Prizes do we want. Well, that was unreal. That was unreal. Okay, so you're saying blind date for that one.
26:52Teletext holidays or booking on your phone. Well, booking on your phone. My first holiday away on my own was on a teletext. What was it? I remember it. I think it cost like 284 quid. Package deal? Was it Tenerife? Tenerife. Yeah. Nice. Tenerife was always on Teletext, wasn't it? Yeah. Could always get there. Can you get that now? Is Teletext still a thing? Could you find it if you wanted to? I don't think so. Yeah. What was on Teletext other than holidays? I used to get all the sport from there. I used to look at the Premier League table and stuff like that. The weather? Weather. Yeah. You'd get some football info in there.
27:26Scores, fixtures, kind of stuff. Yeah. But I used to also like club call. your club and they'll tell you the latest news from the club. On the phone. You ring up and it'll be an automated message. Say, I don't know, Chelsea are interested in signing Paul Furlong for 2.3 million. Oh my God. Did you used to call for the time on the phone? I did. The time sponsored by Acurus will be the time sponsored by Acurus will be 7.37. That used to freak me out. Sorry about that fact. I used to do that and then do it straight away again. What, you'd mimic the voice? No, I'd just... Because the time would change.
28:13Fuck, we had so much time in those days. You'd have to pay for that. I used to get battered when the phone bill used to come in. You'd have to be like that. You call them 123 again, you. 123. Calling the talking clock. Are we going with fucking holidays on your phone has to be better than Teletex? Absolutely. It's a good invention, though. disposable camera and waiting for a week for development or 4 ,000 photos you'd never look at on your phone. Again, technology, having the pictures on your phone to capture things instantaneously is great. However, I think in magical moments, whether you're in a concert, watching a band, holidays, you know, the phone can take over.
28:50Now you see gigs, even in Ibiza, watching DJs, people are just like that with a phone. It's also going to the shop as a group. developing your pictures they were the best times when you get those pictures back and you were hysterical laughing you couldn't remember half of it and everyone's together and you're going look at this one, look at you there it was social wasn't it photos were sociable and then you did have albums it's like you know we've got phones everywhere with pictures of the kids on which that's actually on my list to do. I want to get someone in, a person, to get all the photos, put them in all folders for all the kids.
29:36If anyone wants to do this job for me, because I can't do it, write in and I'll... I reckon there'll be plenty of people out there looking, be happy to sifle through your photos. Yeah, but there we go. I like that, Pete. That's a good point. You've got to be going. No, there's no, like, dick pics or anything. How did dick pics work in the old days? Because you have to develop them and then take them around someone's house physically. I don't think people did them in those days, did they? No, no. Has anyone seen an actual photo of a penis? Yeah, well, it must have happened. I've never seen one.
30:07You wouldn't because you wouldn't take one, would you? You'd have to pull your pants down. You'd have to do that. Wait a week for it to get in the dark. That would have happened a million times, wouldn't it? Do you reckon? Yeah, of course. Because you can get people's phones. You can take their phone without their passcode, take a photo, can't you? Oh, that's so true. Yeah, you can. What's that mean? What do you mean by that? Well, if I took your phone, I could take a picture of my ass and my penis and you'd have a nasty shot when you opened your phone again. It's all good bands. Yeah, but when you say it like that, then maybe...
30:47There's something special about the deposit. Yeah, maybe that is better. But is that nostalgia? A hell of a lot more technical about the phones. I do think people are craving for some human humanness lately I know I am I agree when you check out I don't want to check out myself I love having a little conversation like when I went shopping the mum was like ooh what are you making tonight then with all this what are you making tonight well nothing because I'm too tired now I thought so I've got steak I thought we'd do steak Actually, I bought steak today. You're not going to believe this. I got four pieces of steak and it was£116.
31:31What on earth? And I was like, what? I was like, how much? And he went, yeah. How is that possible? It was, I said, as for ribeye, he gave me Wagyu ribeye. And it was£116. I gave it back. I said, absolutely not. I was like, my kids do not know the difference between Wagyu and bloody whatever. Buy a whole cow for that. £116. Jesus Christ. Isn't that ridiculous? It was this new little farm shop that I found. I was just like... I was just trying to lug you off. What are you saying then in the battle of 4 ,000 photos that you never look at or a disposable camera? I'm going to have to go with the phone.
32:08I'm going to go with the phone because you know what the phone does, which is really special. What? It does those memories. Nice. Okay. Top Trump's Panini stickers and Power Pods versus the FIFA Ultimate team. so again the FIFA Ultimate Team is amazing isn't it but obviously nostalgia I don't know what they are the stickers versus the FIFA my kids don't like the stickers they're like cards that's what I mean people went today to this incredible store Fanatics Fanatics yeah phenomenal it's amazing I saw one Zidane today only one in the world signed it was£10 ,000 oh my goodness but you can go from you can get like elite packs you can get cheap packs you've got more chance of getting a Simon or a golden one in the more expensive ones we've got a messy shiny of all the words I never thought I'd hear you say in my life it's in my bag it's so funny because Peter, my son for his birthday wanted cards Peter Crouch cards old cards I didn't get them on Ebay but the majority of them are signed and the price variations are incredible.
33:21Some of them are like a pound and some of them are like 150 quid. Pete's like, I can't believe I'm paying for a freaking card with my own signature on. But he needed to get the card. I wanted the card, you know, as a way to pay. As a collectible. Yeah, I've got like 10 of them now. That's amazing. Yeah, so he's got like, he's walking around now with like loads of pictures of me. We have got the 2026 Messi Shiny. Which is great. We've got some crackers now. All the kids, though, nick them from each other. Do they? It's such a nightmare. And, like, all the mums know what cards the kids have got and I don't.
34:00I'm only interested in the shinies. I did the whole book for my son. I did every... So, before the World Cup, it was the Premier League cards. Yeah, yeah. And I did the whole book with each team, which you know just the cards for like Nottingham Forest Wolves Liverpool and it took me about five hours to do I sat up one night with a bottle of wine on the phone to Lucinda doing it and he just tipped the whole thing out and said he doesn't like it like that he likes holding them in a big bunch I really I can't believe he did it and I even put like all the goalies together on the top row and then strikers it's a nice thing to do it's nice and peaceful I'd want the stickers, though.
34:46I like the stickers. I don't know, because the cards are good. You can't do swaps, though, can you, the stickers? What have you gone for? Have you gone for the stickers? Yeah, so the reason I'm going to go for the stickers or the things is, I think in this day and age of kids who are playing Ultimate Team and all that, which is amazing. I'm sorry, what's Ultimate Team? It's called, it's FIFA. They're not allowed to say FIFA anymore, because I think FIFA changed the rights. Is this the computer game? Computer game. I love it. I hate it. Do you hate it? I was literally playing with your husband last night.
35:14I've got you on it. Were you really? Were we in? No, I'm on the game, aren't I? You've been playing. At least someone was playing with you last night, darling. That is true. That is weird to think about, yeah. I remember that basketball edition where you were on it and you had the sleeveless vest. Yeah, that was FIFA Street. FIFA Street? I was on the front of that game. Oh, yeah. Yeah, Mika Tuso and Ronaldinho. Do you want to hear a fun fact? Always. I have never played on a computer game in my entire life. get out of here. No, I've never used the controller, whether it was Nintendo, PlayStation X, or whatever it's called, Xbox.
35:53I thought you'd like it. Oh, we've got to get you... I hate anything like that. We've got to get you playing FIFA with Pete. We'll have a little game and see how you get on. David Beckham's in Fortnite. You should be in it. I should be, actually. You'd be good in that. I should be in that. What I was going to say, what I will say is, with all the going into games now they're like the modern day movies aren't they some of these games yeah the fact that cards are still around and kids our kids are still playing with them they've stood the test of time so they win fair play it's incredible really isn't it it's nice yeah I like trump cards where you get like the facts because the football cards are they just a picture of the player do they have any like scored this many headed this many yeah they do have a bit I don't know but yeah The stickers are more collectible, aren't they?
36:42But the top trumps have got all the stats. Okay, you've got MSN Messenger in the 90s or WhatsApp. I can't remember MSN. I can't remember it. I was like text or MSN. My favourite phone of all time was a sidekick. When I won Britain's Next Top Model, they gave me one and it was like, it's almost BlackBerry-esque, but it looked like, what would you say? It was like a computer-y thing, wasn't it? Like a computer thing and it flipped your credit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, little keyboard. Game Gear. And it was covered in Swarovski crystals. The whole thing was diamond ink, well, crystalline pink. Unbelievable.
37:19Yeah, it was just lovely. It was hilarious. Have you still got it? I used to call her and it'd be like, baby cakes. No, that was a different little pink than I had. But I think the BVM was good. You know, the pins and stuff. Yeah. That BlackBerry Messenger. Did we have BlackBerrys? Oh, that was good. I had that. I had that at early doors. And you just pressed a little, it was like a computer, wasn't it? Yeah. It was said to be the greatest thing of all time and then iPhones came out and killed it completely. Just killed it, yeah. I think people are getting fed up of WhatsApp, though. Mm. I know what you mean.
37:48It is good, though, WhatsApp, isn't it? To be fair, it is good. But what's the difference between WhatsApp and a text? I don't understand. It just goes through in all the groups and it looks better. I don't know, it feels easier to use. You hated it last week. You were deleting the whole thing. No, I don't like it because you wake up and you've got thousands. There's more of them than there are emails, isn't there, that you have to reply to. Do you know what I mean? It's becoming like the Pawlake, isn't it? Well, I've got about 7 ,000 unopened emails. Yeah, yeah. So I... Okay, I'm going to give you one last one.
38:19Renting from Blockbuster or scrolling for Netflix on... Blockbuster. There's something special about Blockbuster, isn't there? Oh, my God, I used to love that. Come on, that was a great day. Go on a Friday afternoon and just go like, we're going to watch a movie. My parents used to go into the... get the takeaway. And we'd run into Blockbuster early. Have a look around, pick something, get all the sweets, get the popcorn. Class. Great day. Did you... I'm sorry, I've just poured Gaz a Guinness from... It's my first time trying your... Is it extra cold? It's ice cold. I've wrapped it in the cold.
38:56The taps have been wrapped with this cold thing. It makes it even colder. Did you not do the beer? The beer's pretty cold anyway, is it not? No, it's cold, but it's not... Not ice. It doesn't... a bit of ASMR for the pod it could be cold yeah okay I'll look into that that is phenomenal Guinness is top level incredible work so yeah I mean I'm very proud of that my one input in this do you not think on average though without nostalgia that Netflix is maybe more of a it's far better isn't it it's hard to say it's convenient it's a lovely time lovely that but when you're hung over right and we're in bed and we go fucking blockbuster.
39:41Do you know what I mean? We just go bang. There's millions of films and series. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? We started a new one last night, didn't we? I was going to ask, when are you watching these days? I want to see The Affair. It's old. But apparently it's an affair that happens in the Hamptons. Yes. I think I remember that. Multiple series. Bit of you, is it, babe? Bit of me.
40:03No, it's supposed to be really good, but it's one we've never seen. what did you watch last night Westies or something yeah I've been to that Westies what's that about it's good what's his name it's like an Irish New York drug yeah New York kind of gangster movie it's good I feel like you watch a lot of gangster stuff you two yeah a bit like that yeah is that your kind of genre I like more little women-y love story stuff if that's not murder in it then it's not for me I watch for the first time ever Brokeback Mountain oh really oh my god thoughts What's unbelievable? Yeah. Absolute heartbreaking.
40:39I was crying my eyes out. Crying my eyes out. Have you seen it? I have, yeah. Horror, like... It was, yeah. I think I was too young for it when it came out because it was obviously quite an emotional subject matter. But obviously... It's traumatic. Yeah. It's traumatic. But yeah, I want to watch it. We should watch that together. You'd love it, you know. Would I? Yeah. Give it up. All right, let's top this up then. So are you saying Blockbuster or Netflix? Netflix. We're going Netflix. You're going Netflix. I think we've got the modern days. Actually, I'm going Amazon Prime. Oh, yeah. Prime. Hey, well done.
41:15Done, mate. So you've gone four for modern day. Just edged it. Modern day has won that. Yeah. Six four. There you go. Well, you know, I think technology has evolved and it is good for the better. But then there's some great things from back in the day. Let's be honest, the 90s was better. It was a better era. Do you know what I always wanted? Which just makes me, like, die when I see it. Do you remember those Mr Freeze machines? Mr Frosty or whatever it's called. I never got one. The slush puppy thing. I don't want the slush and you'd squirt all that colouring. I always wanted that. It was on my Christmas list every year.
41:52I think I'd had that as well. I never got it. And I wanted a post office. Never got that either. Post office, yeah. Post office? Mm-hmm. You can get, what, a little dollhouse kind of vibe? It was like you opened it up and then you had, like, the flap and you could look through and it was like a... Yeah, I think my sister had that. I never got that or the snow thing. What was the one, the cooker? Do you remember that one? Yeah, what was that? Do you remember that cooker? You put something in the oven? It was like a girl's name, the cooker. Yeah. Oh, fuck. Is it Easy Bake Oven? Was that the one?
42:23No. What was that one? I don't know. I didn't have it, clearly. You would have definitely loved that. I never had a Tiny Tears either. I wanted that. I had a kitchen. I had the kitchen. It was the specific kitchen. You know what I've had told me three times this week? About how difficult... People have gone to me, oh, you must have had it hard growing up. What, by being an Orvina? By being a Scouse. And I was just like, what makes you think that? I always get it. People go, you know, me and you, we weren't used to all this in our day. I'm like, what? and like do you think I was like literally came from living under a bridge in the docks in Liverpool and I don't know why but I keep getting it repeatedly you must have had it tough growing up must have been hard up there but like no I didn't have a post office or a Mr Freeze but that was about it do you know what I mean it's about as hard as it got literally just needed to get that off my chest that's been bugging you it has been bugging me Because three separate people have said it to me.
43:32It must be the accent. Have these people been southerners by any chance? Or Midlanders? Global. Really? That's so strange then. They must associate, yeah, Liverpool. Who knows? All right, let's get into the Aganevs. All right, let's go. All right. All right. Hey, guys, I've listened for years and never needed advice. Until now. Please keep me anonymous. I have recently started a new job and there is a man who works there we are both teachers always the most incestuous job and we've immediately hit it off in fact before joining we had a mutual friend who had asked him to look out for me I didn't immediately like him romantically as not my usual type but after talking to know one another I've realised we really are made for each other in fact how you talk about each other and your relationship Abby and Pete is exactly how I feel for this man Intense love.
44:29Doomed then.
44:32Doomed. If you've heard of the invisible string theory, we have. Someone's written in about this before. Have they? What is this? It's like the invisible string that always pulls you together. Well, that's what's happened. We've been in the same place at the same time for years, and I really do think we're meant to be. But there's a big problem. He has a girlfriend. I hate him already. What's he doing, like, flirting with girls at work? That's bad, isn't it? Absolute scumbag. Oh, fuck. This is not the magnetism. Well, if he is in compliance with this string thing, he should... That string should be cut.
45:12No, the string shouldn't be cut. He should dump his girlfriend or say, I've fallen for someone else. It's not a crime to fall in love. No? But it's a crime to go behind someone's back. Very loquaciously put, may I say.
45:27Just my opinion. Anyway, he actually kissed me for the first time one month before moving in with her. The messages I see that she sends him are horrible. Constantly telling him off. I'm making him feel guilty for being on nights out. He wants to be out and it's clear she's a home bird. Because it sounds like me and you, but... Fucking hell. Jesus Christ.
45:50Anyone I've asked for advice knows them both. I've said that they are not a good match. they've been rocky for years and it's a car crash waiting to happen even the man has admitted that there were cracks before me we're always texting and meeting up when he can but I'm finding it so hard to stay positive although he has promised to leave her he doesn't give a timeline which makes me feel in the ledge and of course not chosen which I know I don't deserve we've said we love each other and I do truly believe we do but it's hard to stay positive recently he goes on holiday with her and I'm at home on my own.
46:27I do try and live my life, but my own thoughts drive me crazy. I know we're in so deep now and if it wasn't to work out, work would be hell on earth. And if one of us was to leave, plus I will blackmail that I will tell the girlfriend if he doesn't sort him out soon.
46:46Plot thickens. There's a lot going on there. I feel I've been so patient and this has been going on since January, 2026 can you reassure me that a love is worth waiting for then i should hold on and if it's meant to be it'll be please help a girl in need who needs a bit of hope to hold on to p.s you both have given me so much joy and happiness for so long thank you anon to be honest anon i don't agree with this at all i think there's one thing going out having a spark with a guy but as soon as you find out he's in a relationship regardless if that relationship is on the rocks or not You should wait.
47:22And as you say, if something's that good, it's worth waiting for. You wait until he's a single man and he is available. That is morally incorrect to me. And it's just not for me. What would you think? I agree. I agree with you totally, babe. No, seriously. Please be real. No, I do. It's not right, is it? You know, he's in a relationship regardless if there's a spark. The minute you find out, that's a no-go error, isn't it? And also, he obviously... This guy is obviously having his cake and eating it too. Because... Still going on holiday with her. He's got his girlfriend at home, who he probably sounds like he lives with, going on holiday with, and he's got his bit on the side.
48:06For me, that is not a man you want to... It's different if two people are magnetically drawn to each other. And they both... He decides, I can't go on with this girl anymore. I'm going to end it and be with you because I love you so much. but he's leading her on. Those two, Anon and him, are as bad as each other, in my opinion. Anon. No. Anon. Anon. Anon. I just, I think she should go somewhere else because a relationship started off like this. If he hasn't ended it straight away, she's going to be waiting forever. Yeah. What do you think, As? I think that's spot on. You know what, this exact same scenario happened to a mate of mine or their housemate or something and it all eventually just ended in tears.
48:47Oh, that's going to be tears. Yeah, I think eventually no one ended up with each other. What I think was remarkable about that message, though, the whole, if he doesn't leave us soon, I'm going to blackmail him. Just a little drop in at the end. I'm just kidding, don't worry, I'll just charge blackmail me. But does she not see that? That's what it's come to, you have to do that. That's not morally correct. It's not healthy, yeah. It's not a healthy vendetta, it's not a healthy thing, is it? It certainly isn't. No, I don't think that's not going to help anyone, is it? No, I think she should move on and sort herself out.
49:22Great advice. No, I agree. I think it's nice. All right, Anon, a bit of a wholesome one. My grandad passed last year and left me his old watch. It hasn't worked for about 10 years, but I still wear it every single day. And I find myself thinking of him when I check the time. My girlfriend thinks it's lovely, my mates think I'm weird. So my question for you guys, what object you'd never part with because of who it belonged to and what it means, even if it's completely useless to anyone else? I fully understand if this one's too soft for the pod. Love a non-Newcon. No, this is so up my street. My son, Jack, recently got his head shaved and he had beautiful, long, blonde, tinged curls and I've kept the hair.
50:03Still got it in the bag. Yeah. I am very sentimental like that. I've kept all Peter notes from when we first got together. No way. Like most people, baby clothes or a little cut of a little blanket. I've got boxes and boxes of this shit. Have you always been sentimental? Or has that come with age? Have you kind of grown into it? What do you mean, age? No, no, I'm funny. As I get older, I can't. Well, what are you trying to say, guys? What are you trying to say, guys? What I'm trying to say, guys, I've had a point, is that the older I get, the softer I'm finding myself. I'm just like, you know, I cry a lot easier.
50:38I do as well, yeah. Pete was crying at the Kids Talent Show the other day, weren't you? I was, yeah. Yeah, it's just little things. Like, X Factor gets me. Big time. No, it's more the other one. Britain's Got Talent. Britain's Got Talent gets me, yeah. It's bizarre, isn't it? But the thing about it just gets me. Does the X Factor get you? It's when it's good, when they do really well, and I see how happy they are. That's what gets me. It's not like, I've lost my mum and now I'm going to be doing this. Yeah, yeah. It's the one where they do so well, and I know they've worked so hard, they're so happy.
51:11A success story. Yeah, success stories are the ones that get me. Like people doing well. Yeah. I love success stories, though. I'm like, good for you. Yeah, like when it works out. It's just epic. I'm just so happy. Yeah. I don't know. You keep funny little things. I do, yeah. I keep little things. I've got little letters from you that you've got, that you've wrote me and stuff. I've kept that one that you wrote me. I've got little pictures of you in my bag that I take with me everywhere. I've got one. One of them's from like 20 years ago. on one of our first holidays. I've got a picture of...
51:44Picture of abs in your bag? Yeah, I've got like six or seven pictures. A real photograph? A real photograph. Oh, really? Yeah, in my bag. Would you ever keep one in a wallet back in the day? He had a condom in a wallet once. I found it. It's out of date. It's just behind your picture, wasn't it? It's out of date and imprinted itself in the bloody wallet. I searched out this condom. I reckon I put it in there when I was 14. I reckon I put it in there when I was 14. I took it out when I was like 25. that could mean one to do one or two things you were uh still a virgin or didn't practice safe yeah well oh that's funny just not a lot of action it didn't been printed so when i took it out i think i was still with abby it was still in there what do you mean he was still with me like no let's let's get this predated you this let's get this story straight when we were moving out of our first flat together which was pete's flat that I moved into.
52:37And I was packing the house up. And now you have those old boxes and drawers of stuff. Yeah. It was in there. But there was still like, it was like the old 5P and all that was still in there. So it was pretty prehistoric. It was prehistoric, yeah. But what I'm saying is, when I took it out. There was a little football card in there. It was. When I took it out of the wallet. Ian Rushshiny. It had imprinted in the wallet. Like it said, like a Durex. I literally branded the wallet. Disgusting, Pete. What's disgusting about it? Unbelievable. What's disgusting about it, these are the boundaries that we're trying to break down.
53:10You know, disease is a cause, you know, this is the reason why we carry them. There's nothing disgusting about it, it's disgusting not using one. Amen, brother. Well said. I wanted to just ask a question before I go. The men that would have their partners in their wallets, what was the kind of, because no one does it really anymore. People don't have wallets, though, do they? People don't have wallets. Well, you have screensavers of the people you love, don't you? Yeah. You know, instead of wallets and stuff, you'd have a screensaver. You know, people who don't have kids have dogs on their screensaver.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back with updates on their chaotic house renovations, new family additions, and an eye-watering trip to a local farm shop that left them £116 lighter for just four steaks!
We tackle a tough Agony Ab from a coach-side parent whose young lad is struggling with confidence on the football pitch, while Abbey reveals her "win or go home" sideline mentality.
Things get nostalgic as we debate old-school Teletext holidays, MSN Messenger, and collecting Panini football cards versus Football Ultimate Team.
In the Agony Abs, we dive into a super controversial workplace love triangle featuring an "invisible string" affair, where Abbey and Pete don't hold back their thoughts! Plus, we explore sentimental keepsakes, cry-worthy stories, and announce the grand return of Therapy Crouch Matchmaking!
