Pete Crouch Reveals The Worst Locker Room Prank That Went Way Too Far!

In short

The episode of Therapy Crouch: Ask Me Anything centers on “worst prank” stories and relationship advice. Topic 1: a university kahoot quiz where a mate’s name is revealed as having “drunk Jack’s piss,” backed by deliberately filmed evidence; it triggers a massive fight and ends the quiz. Guests discuss whether this crosses a line versus football/rugby locker-room pranks (they cite escalating gags like pranking with Deep Heat/locker-room pranks). Key claim: filming/documenting and public humiliation make it worse; “know your audience” matters. Topic 2: advice to a group worried a friend is being manipulated by her partner and changing her behavior. Topic 3: confidence after a long sexual drought; tips include reassurance, dates, and patience.

Guests

Abbie Clancy and Pia Crouch (hosts), Pete Crouch (co-host), plus listener callers/messages (e.g., “Gigi the giraffe,” “Linda Carl,” “Louise,” “Gaz”).

3:02Hello, and welcome to the Therapy Crouch. Ask Me Anything with me, Abbie Clancy. Me, Pia Crouch. Hello, hello. How we doing? Hello, hello. I'm here. You guys done frigging all day? Yeah. He's won a pod award and he's just gone. I don't know, who does he think he is? Pod award. Gone. It's too much too soon. I'd say it's too much too soon for them. Too much too soon. You come in, you swat in. Give them an inch, you take a mile. Get an award, go on all day. Exactly. Horraceous. Oh, well. We've got the AMA's paid. We've got a crap on you. Oh, yes. Okay. Hi to the clans, Cardi B and Sam. This isn't a story for the faint-hearted, so apologies in advance.

3:38Every year at university, we have a yearly kahoot based on events that had happened that year. For those who don't know what a kahoot is, it's basically a multiple-choice quiz that you make up yourself. So the first questions are very tame, like who slept with who after a night out? Who was the worst dancer? Who was the least likely to pull on a night house, et cetera, blah, blah, blah. Until... Well, that's tame. What? It wasn't that tame, wasn't it? Until this... Oh, my God, sorry. So I saw Scott in the house, and you know that trick that I did for him? He Googled it. No. Never trust a person who Googles the answer to a quiz question or something without working it out themselves.

4:19Okay, yeah. Are you a Googler? Yeah, no, I'm not a Googler. No, absolutely not. He really wanted to, like, get this trick that I did to him. Yeah. I learned this trick in Norway and it blew his mind and he said he couldn't sleep. So when I saw him yesterday, he was like, I know how to do the trick. And I was like, did you Google it? And he said no at first and then he admitted it. And I was like, yeah, anyway. That's bad. Anyway, okay. Until this shocker of a question came out, who drunk Jack's piss on a night out? The whole room erupted with laughter as four names popped up. John, Robert, Louis and Ben.

4:57They're all his close mates and we thought it was an after party gone wrong or just some harmless banter for the midpoint quiz. Well, John's name flashed up as the correct answer. He erupts in anger and somewhat half laughter thinking he's been stitched up saying, I didn't drink Jack's piss are you lads winding me up funny joke etc etc however he is told on a night out when he asked Jack to hold his drink he had quickly gone to the cubicle pissing his drink without him knowing and handed it back to him and he's drunk and he's drunk the whole lot then to make it worse he is then shown a video of his mate pissing in the drink as evidence and they pulled up the videos of him pissing on the night out they did it very deliberately for the quiz as we have one every single year at uni safe to say a massive fight broke out with a few glasses smashed really that put an abrupt end to this year's cahoot and I personally think it's just good banter surely worse was done in football locker rooms ahem Pete what do we think was this a step too far that's that's a violation I think that's terrible like there's one thing as a joke but like publicly in front of all of your uni mates that's that's dreadful it's the filming it the documenting it it wasn't like a spontaneous thing that's planned yeah yeah i don't know i lost the words peace silence on this no i've seen things in football dress rooms and you know rugby dress rooms i'm pretty sure this is common practice um but yeah i mean it's just how the person takes it i think you've got to know the person you're doing to is would be would enjoy this kind of thing it's obvious that this this guy I have not enjoyed it in any way.

6:41Well, I wouldn't be happy drinking someone's wee. No. No, no. I don't think I'd be too pleased about it either. Surely you'd second guess that, right? Like when you're drinking, you're drinking. Oh, that doesn't taste right. But I mean, guess when you're hammered. You have no idea that it's... There's nothing worse. I couldn't even think of it. Yeah, that's... There's nothing worse than a gag kind of gone wrong. Oh, yeah. I do it on a regular basis. Pete does do it on a regular basis. Yeah, I mean, there's a line. And for certain people, it's a lot kind of higher. There's a higher bar than others.

7:15Everyone's a bit too woke nowadays. Well, I just think, you know, I think things... Obviously, drink and pee is a step too far. Yes. In my opinion. For most. Yeah. I think it's too far. Some have done me with that. I don't think I'd be fine, put it that way. I might go, that's how I want that. You wait. You'd laugh. I think I would laugh. But I'd go, that was heavy. Yeah. And I would go, you've set yourself up now because it's on. You've got to come back after that. I don't know how you escalate that to the next level, but you've got to do something. You've got to do something. Well, I don't know if you saw, I mean, it's out there, so you can Google this, but, you know, things culminated in a pig's head in someone's locker.

7:58We've always did go wrong. You know, things escalated. No, I mean, it started with like DP and people's boxer shorts. I got done three days on a row. when I told you and you said you had sat me down and said are you getting bullied in the stoke dressing room I said they've done me with deep heat but you're such a dope surely you should check them after this yeah but you train right and then after training you just had a shower whatever come in and then you don't think you just put it on and I'm talking or what does it do oh it's painful it stings you don't notice at first then I'm like oh my god interesting So yeah, painful.

8:41Yeah, I could not imagine that'd be fun. I think you just need to gauge the... Know your audience. Know your audience. But drinking pee is too much. For some.

8:56I don't get any ideas now. Let me try and do it with me. We got a message from Gigi the giraffe. Ah, Gigi. I mean, it's long as well. That's good, apparently. Hi, Abby, Pete and Gaz. Love your podcast. We're currently on a holiday in Cyprus. Listening to your show is one of the highlights of our day. So our Ask Me Anything story is about a friend's partner. There are eight of us in the group, four girlfriends and our partners. One of the girls had been single for ages. And whenever we went out for dinners, drinks, catch-ups, we loved hearing all the updates about how she'd been dating and any cheeky stories that happened along the way.

9:34then about seven years ago she was introduced to a guy by another friend who thought they'd get on they're still together now the problem is unbeknownst to our friend the other six of us really can't stand him oh no he makes absolutely no effort with any of us doesn't really show any interest in our lives and seems to only want to talk about himself but more concerning than that is the way he treats our friend when we feel he's incredibly manipulative and constantly puts her down um that's not good since had a baby together and after some struggles which makes it all the march setting he criticizes practically everything she does with the baby it's got to the point where we're genuinely worried about her i've even went around to their house recently to drop off a present for the baby when he opened the door he actually pretended not to know who i was what what despite us having met numerous times before having spent plenty of nights out together The really difficult part is that our friend seems to have gradually adapted to his behaviour.

10:36She's becoming more like him in the way she treats the rest of us. And it's now starting to affect all of our friendships. That does happen. We obviously don't want to abandon her, especially because we're worried about what's happening behind closed doors. But we also don't know whether to say something. And if so, how on earth do you tell your friend that six people in her life really dislike the way her partner treats her? without pushing her away or making her feel like she has to choose between him and us. Abby, Pete, please help. It's hard because it depends who you're speaking to. Like I've got some friends that if I said that to, they would kind of be like, they'd get annoyed and angry and kind of it could go the other way.

11:19And some friends would be like, oh, thanks for your concern or whatever. So it's tricky. I think the most important thing here is checking that she's okay. but I also don't like when people meet people and start taking on their behaviours, you know, and their personality and, you know, their morals go out the window and stuff like that. I can't stand that, which does happen. I think everyone's got a mate who says, like, adapts to their girlfriend. Maybe she'd go to a friend and be like, is everything okay? You know, you're my good friend. I've noticed a change in you. You know, you can confide in me if you need to without judgment.

11:55I think if you go in, we all hate your fella. that's not gonna work yeah because when my friends say that to me about you I'm like talk about my husband like that and I'll kill you yeah I think it's a fine line right a fine line you want to be helpful and you want to be nice you want to be appreciative but you don't want to rock the friendship boat rock their boat and cause a havoc a real friend should get it a real friend should appreciate the concern and be like no I'm okay and oh god do you think I'm being a bit like that or whatever or should feel safe enough to go, I'm actually not okay, thanks for your concern.

12:31What should I do? Do you know what I mean? Yeah, I think you're allowed to say it, aren't you? Just you've got to come clean. Maybe go, don't go mob-handed, but like two of them just go around, are you okay? How are you feeling in your relationship? Don't say, you have to say straight away, we hate your husband, your old fella. Just say, well, you're all right, you know? Just worried slightly, seeing a few things away, treats you a little bit, and you're our main concern before you go in with, you know, he's a complete twat. Yeah, no, I agree, Pete. That sounds good. Hey, Pedro, Abs and Sam. This is a funny one, but I'm hoping you'll be able to give me some pointers.

13:06Ha ha. I've recently started seeing someone after a long dry spell. We're talking Sahara level drought. What? Okay. I've got a long spell on the sidelines. Sorry, I may as well only wear one brand super dry at this stage. We're talking years. I'd genuinely forgotten how any of it works. On our first proper night out together, I was so out to practice that I fumbled my way through probably the worst SEX of both of our lives. I suppose I'd use the word rusty to describe the sex. I mean, not my vagina. At the end... Fucking hell, don't worry. I don't like saying anything. Dry, rusty. Jesus Christ.

13:48At the end, when neither of us has managed to finish, I said, sorry, it's been a while. And he was very sweet and said, me too. And then gave me a cuddle. Aw. That's good. He was very kind about it too. Too kind. But now he's gone gentle with me like I'm made of glass, which is somehow worse. My Ask Me Anything is, how to get your confidence back in the bedroom when you've had a long time out of the game? Any tips? Abby Pete, after this many years together, do you two even remember what that first time nervousness feels like? Or is it all muscle memory now? Love you guys. Linda Carl out there.

14:29We're in the same drowsy as her. We're a family in the Sahara. No, I'm joking. Oh, I think that's cute. Well, he seems really nice about it. She's good. I think that's a good basis for a good relationship. 100%, you know. Because, you know, if he can look past, understand, still love, make her feel confident, you know, but it is a big thing. Even after being together years and years, you do change, your body changes, you feel different, you know, and you have to work through all that together, I think. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, definitely. You know, I definitely don't look like I did when I was 19.

15:10mean and still look great sweetie so it you know i think people take it for granted that you don't think that about yourself or whatever and you do yeah yeah i think dates i think just keep going on dates you know get to know them you know that'll hopefully get rid of some of the nervousness and all that stuff and i think i think it'll be good have a few drinks yeah yeah i mean i'll change what are you gonna say no i think that i wasn't what's both your guys like favorite date like do Do you like a dinner? Do you like an activity? Do you like a long walk? Like, you know. I think like a nice dinner.

15:43I like to get dressed up and go for a nice dinner. I think it's a bit of both of you. It's a nice relaxing day, which should be a new. I like those days. We had a lovely date the other night. We did, yeah. It was, we went to the cinema. Cinema or dinner, went old school. Oh, nice. What did you watch? Verity, which is horrid. Oh, I've heard mixed reviews. I love the book. I'm a bit kind of, I like watching nice things. and it was a bit like... Didn't feel it wasn't very nice. No, it was a bit weird. It just made me feel funny. Yeah. And then we went for a lovely dinner locally. That's a nice day out, don't we?

16:19Yeah. Nice day out. But we got absolutely hammered, didn't we? Did we again? Did we? Some people were calling Lucy and James. They were out with other friends who we don't know and we were like... On our own, weren't we? Yeah, we were on our own. Oh, gosh. We got hammered and we're calling them because it gave them abuse down. Yeah, we were, oh my God. Funny that. I think it's nice to go, like we go out in a lot of groups. It's so nice to be able to, I think, you know, you're in a good space when we can go out the two of you and have an absolute laugh. We did, we had an absolute like crack, didn't we?

16:56All right, I'll go on here from Gaz. Just want to say a huge thank you around my first half marathon yesterday in Manchester and listen to this pod throughout my whole training block, including on the big day itself. Ah. So it's got me through. I've laughed and smiled through my long runs, making the time fly. Avon Pete, did you ever listen to anything religiously to get you in the zone for anything, whether it be football training or dance rehearsals, catwalks, keep up the good work? Lots of love, Louise, yeah. I actually did, yeah, I had playlists. I might still have them. Here we go. Learn something new every day, Rihanna.

17:29Rihanna. i love music i think it's it makes you feel good i've on all the time in the house yeah do you have playlists or are you just more of a shuffle person no i just i'm i'm i'm a a shuffle girl because i've got the cheap the basic package nice so i can't choose a song on mine do you know your playlist gets absolutely freaking like killed by the kids isn't it i've I've got all my stuff now. Look at this. 2002 by Anne-Marie and like Havana, Camilla Cabello. She's outranged. Megan Thee Stallion. Who's Megan Thee Stallion? Freaking Jason Derulo on her. I've got stuff like tanning. Who's that?

18:10Like a tanning playlist. Like obviously not me. Sophia's like listening to this music whilst in the sun. Tanning. Unbelievable. I've just gone. So yeah, I did have one. A few dance tunes, like some of those, I don't know, dad rock. Nice. Love a bit of dad rock. Dad rock. As if cool music's called dad rock. It's an absolute piss take. Like Oasis, The Verve, Coldplay, dad rock. Well, Britpop, that was one back in the day. Not even like that, say it either. Yeah, I think playing is, you've got a zone music. I know you've got bonk beat music. no I haven't I couldn't believe you put that on the other night oh shut up I couldn't believe it when I walked in I was like the candles going put this tune on that's just not true we haven't even got a radio in our house like a radio or as a speaker if you were right if you were like I've just got to have him tonight I have to if you were going to put what the fuck I just wouldn't entertain me what would you go for what tune if I wanted to entertain you is that what we call it I'd put frigging Desperate Housewives on with my dressing gown, watch it.

19:26More like, more of a point. Worth a try. Worth a try. I'd love you to do that one day. Me just come home from a long day's work and you'd just be in the bedroom like, come on, big boy. What on earth is going on here? Have you got a song in mind, Pete? Have you got a song in mind? What would I have? I believe in miracles.

19:50You bastard. Oh, well. It's a nice fantasy while it lasted. It would be a nice thing to do. If that's what you want, that's what I'll do. I would like that, yeah. Okay, fine. It doesn't have to be music. You can skip that. The music thing's a bit weird. It's very weird. I think if music's on. I don't... The thought of someone going... That's when old Bonk Beats things started, isn't it? Mm-hmm. The thought of going to the... I don't know, whatever they're on. You can say it now, can't you? I was going to say, like, the record player. I said radio. You said radio. We're on the spot now, aren't we?

20:23Record player. Vinyl on or something. People use the phone, don't they? Just putting a tune on is... Is that loud enough on your phone? How loud's this music? Is it background? It'd come through the speakers, wouldn't it? I don't know, Alexa, whatever. That's even worse, aren't you? Alexa, hold on, please. Alexa, get my husband in the mood. Sexy playlists. men.

20:54Can you imagine that one? Ridiculous. Okay, I'll try it one day. Yeah, okay. You have to behave first. I want to hold my breath. Fuck off. We'll see you next week, guys. See you next week. Ask me anything. Shava.
