Peter Crouch: “I Got Kicked Out the Bedroom..."

In short

Abby and Peter Crouch trade weekly “agony abs” style stories, then recap Father’s Day and the SummerTime Ball, followed by audience submissions. A major segment is an audience question about whether to tell a woman that her husband has been cheating for years. They also discuss dating prospects for a sporty Irish woman.

Guests

No traditional guests. The “guests” are audience callers/emailers: Ty (Dublin, Ireland) sharing a first-kiss story; Sarah (Cheshire) emailing about family holiday/childcare; and an agony-abs writer describing a friend’s husband cheating. They also profile “Kerry” (35, London) for a dating-agency-style match.

Key claims

Cheating for years is emotionally devastating and morally wrong; the wife deserves to know, though it’s complicated by loyalty and confidentiality. SummerTime Ball highlights include Will Smith, Jazzy Jeff, Lola Young overcoming mic issues, and community singalongs.

Notable examples

“Chucky egg” breakfast; “apple and orange” technique for first kissing; Will Smith’s “Cheeky” and pervy video; Lola Young’s mic malfunction resolved via crowd singing.

5:02Yeah. You'd like the anonymity of it. Yeah. Sometimes if you just, it's a random pinnacle. That's not mine mate. I've never seen it. Why would you think that's mine? But anyway, so I went down the range. Yeah. It was good. How many balls were you with? It was good. I just did about half an hour. Practiced a few things. Is that video living in your head run free a little bit now? It was, I'll be honest with you, I didn't think it was. I'd put it all behind me and I thought everyone's had a great laugh. Yeah. But then I actually went up, when I was on the first tee the other day, I had a game last Friday.

5:43The minute I put the ball down, I went, don't fuck this. Because there's loads of people on the terrace. There's a game. I still can't get over someone filmed you. I think it's terrible. It is bad, really, isn't it? It's not supposed to be a safe space. Yeah. Golf club. It wasn't my golf club, so it's not my domain. And how did you do? Did you hit it okay? Yeah, I hit a cracker. There you go. I feel like that's gone. You've got the yips. It's all behind me. Okay, good luck. I don't think they were anticipating you to be so bad, though. No, I don't think anyone. I don't think anyone was anticipating a viral with it either.

6:19You can't really think of that, can you, I suppose? If I was hitting it well today anyway, you'd be pleased to know. Yeah. Yeah. It's right. Yeah, before we get into the weekly wines, we've got a little weekly wine about this recording, actually. Number one, it started late. And number two... It's absolutely ridiculous. Number two, there's a... Our gardener's just decided to mow the lawn. It's not our gardener, it's next door's. Oh, it's next door's garden, sorry. Yeah. Although he has just stopped. Yeah. So it's either we live in... We record in the sweat box or we have a new school interlude.

6:50He's actually just stopped, thankfully. Good. Any weekly wines for each other, guys? Where to begin? Where to begin? My weekly wine is this consistent gang up on me. That's mine. There's no one ganging up, babe. You do it all yourself. Yeah, your behaviour. We went to the summertime ball. Just another long list of... Did airport ab come up? Summertime ball ab. Got a new one. The journey there. Yeah. No, because I'm scrambling for my makeup. I didn't have, you know, I'm getting all the kids ready, going in all my makeup drawers. There's not a scrap there. Then Sophia's opening a makeup bag. She doesn't even need makeup number one.

7:39Got everything of mine brand new. Boxes of stuff that were gifts for people that she's opened and is just using. Okay. And I just think it's bad mannered. The worst thing is I just know when a long journey happens like that. Like clockwork. I'm like, in the morning I just said, girls, please, just please don't. Did you really say please, girls don't? Yeah. So Liberty said, can you do my hair? Yeah. And I said... I've seen that little braid in the day. She looked that cool. They got that done there actually. But I said, yeah, wash your hair, but don't put conditioner on it because I hate blow drying her hair and it's caked in conditioner.

8:16Yeah. What did she do? Put the conditioner on. So then I'm blowing her hair. It wouldn't dry because there's conditioner in it. So then she has to get back in the shower. meanwhile I didn't have time to wash my hair so it's just like it's take take take take take it's all just stuff that I don't want to know about right you know like and me personally me and Jack sitting in the car while these are from world war three like hair products brushes just watching like football vids on your phone but the thing is we're in the car and you can't get away do you know what I mean so I'm just sitting there with Jack going what are you watching mate?

8:51he's going dinosaurs I just ended up watching that with him it was just absolutely ridiculous he's shiered in headphones please help me please help me he's still very very raw okay so I'm going to get into some audience ones well we actually got weekly shines today I thought we could we'd do some uplifting we've had some weekly shines but you had a lovely father's day you had chucky egg did I really? well we'll talk about all those beautiful things that I got you yep oh god Get into the weekly shines. The kids didn't even want to write his card. Oh, no, don't throw them underneath the bus. No, they're fully under the bus, them.

9:26Them little bastards. Yeah. It was a nice morning, I'll give you that. Okay. It's only my boys who were well behaved. They're angels. All of them. All of us. Shut your mouth. Now I know you're lying. Your lips are moving. Yeah, exactly. Audience shines then. Alright Weekly Shines Mr and Mrs Crouch and hello to Mr Ross as well Regards to your families Ty here from Dublin, Ireland just listened to your last podcast about teaching someone how to kiss and it reminded me of my own story Back in 2014 I was 14 at the time and just joined a new friend group I'd never kissed a girl before not even once then out of nowhere the best looking girl in our area messaged me on Facebook Messenger at first at first I thought it was a joke but we kept chatting and eventually set up a date really more it's a weekly shine get a little shine really more of a casual meet up in the local park on a cold winter's night while we were texting beforehand she mentioned she'd kissed a few boys wanting to impress her I told her I'd kiss loads of girls but truth be told I hadn't kissed anyone yet the night of the meet comes and it's going really well I can feel that kiss is about to happen but just before it does guilt gets the better of me Guilt?

10:46Well, he's lied. He's lied about it. And I admit the truth that I'd never kissed anyone. As you can imagine, I felt completely embarrassed and was sure I'd blown it. But to my surprise, she was very cool with it. She was actually happy to be my first kiss. She even taught me her technique. Ooh, what was that? She said, just mouth the words apple and orange while you kiss. I didn't get it at first, but a few kisses later, I actually started to make sense. and then as we kissed a shooting star flew over our heads. It was a fairy tale moment. Are they still together? Now 11 years and our beautiful two year old daughter Ocean later we still we're still together and she remains my only other kiss.

11:30What a fairy tale that is. That's like Sid and Chrissy though I think. Yeah, yeah exactly. The shooting star as well. Apple and orange. I bet you everyone at home we thought was going we'll try that later Bates. It's about time you learnt how to kiss.

11:51We're back, baby. We're back. Back on form. I have never heard that before. Apple orange. Have you? No, but it's all of that movement. I'd say you just have to stay with the same kind of... Sticks and apples or oranges. Yeah. You start doing a lot of manoeuvring, isn't there? Of course, I could be a teeth clout. Certainly with my hands. I'm mine. Fucking hell. Still a black. Still a black. I need to wear my brace to have enough. Crapped out again. I can feel it. My bite. I've got my jaw hurts now. Does it? It's so goofy. Interesting. I like that. Nice little story. That's a nice story. Okay, Shabba.

12:38I've never DM'd anyone apart from a couple of friends. to my hubby, the occasional meme. But I have to say, I just love you both and Ross. You bring such joy to my week and are so relatable, which I know everyone says, but isn't it funny how different we all are? But so many relationships, parenting, life anecdotes are so similar. Yeah. And we all have so much in common. My favourite podcast ever. Plus, Abby, I am a fellow health anxiety sufferer and it's good to know there are many of us out there so you don't think you're cracking up. keep continuing to make us laugh thank you oh that's nice I did think that at the start when we first started the pod as well like every week when people were writing in their weekly minds or their agony abs it was always the same problems like and the stuff that I was seeing with you guys as like a married couple having as well you know a kid not doing their homework kids not wanting to brush their teeth hubby going out and playing golf or coming home like whatever and it is like universal isn't it do you know what I mean wife being a nag

13:39there's a problem yeah you're only saying that because you're like away from me from cameras otherwise at launch

13:49exactly it is funny everyone i think that's what makes this so relatable is that everyone can relate yeah because it's you know the typical shite daily shite well i just think yeah like lots of people have the same problems, don't they? It doesn't matter from all different corners of the globe as well. Okay, I was crying with laughter in work listening to the pod. It took me a second to realise it was my email. We go away on a family holiday this weekend and yes, we have our own place separate from the grown-up kids and little kids. So let the bombings play. We're going to send the kids the pod video from YouTube.

14:30Maybe the dickheads will get the hint and shift their answers. regarding their homes. Loads of love. Sarah from Cheshire. So she's got back in touch. Yeah, yeah. Was that the lady where her son was living with? The 27-year-old kid and the grandkids and all that. Yeah. Go get some Sarah. Go get some girl. Yeah. Although if she has got their separate home, I don't know why that wasn't the first thought. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, but she's not going to drive to bloody Wales if we don't jump to a little bit of nookie. Tell you what, you don't know, I've gone to that caravan club at that moment.

15:02Oh my God. They'll come not when the caravans are rocking. Yeah, exactly.

15:10I've been Googling caravan. I really want a caravan. Get some amazing ones. Static ones, you mean? Yeah. Yeah. You can call it the anal explorer as well. You can get a two-floor one, you know. Go away. They've come on since the ones we used to go to as kids. I think they're about 70k. They're like an amazing house. it's not really a caravan it looks more like a house yeah like a cavern I don't know why I want one when I've got a house but it's like a house but like movable do you know what I'm dying for a canal boat you know like a barge yeah a barge like a little Rosie and Jim job our friend used to live on one of them just for man could have done one of those yeah I know man could have done one of those that'd save you so much in rent Ross yeah I know it's only more than cost really think about it I know I'd love to do that just for a few years you laugh I don't think I'd suit No you definitely wouldn't You'd be the length of the whole You'd have to just lie In the galley way Yeah Lie the whole way down And I just couldn't stand up I'd have to Maneuve around like a crab Have you seen some of them On Regent's Canal Have you been one down On Regent's Canal though There's some of them They're like two story ones as well Claire's just bought one Hasn't she Has she Oh Claire Yeah She's bought one It's an option Yeah Just get away from life I opted to go on when I was in school where you go on like the trip away and people would go to PGL people would do this there was a barge experience yeah and me and Charlotte opted to go on that but it got cancelled because no one else did oh I thought that would have been quite fun yeah it would have we went on Jack's once or twice we had the right laugh I remember asking him stupidly he had like coal a bucket of coal in the corner or something that he was obviously using for his fire which I didn't realise at the time and I was like oh I didn't realise as these barges were coal fired.

17:03That seems like a bit antiquated and he was like, are you messing? It's like diesel. I thought that he was like the Titanic, like shoveling coal in the big an engine room. And he was like, no, that's me firing. I know, I got ripped for it, but afterwards I thought, it's a fair assumption to make, isn't it? Yeah. I got ripped in Ibiza thinking that, I don't really want to say this on the pod, but I didn't know you had a separate hole that you're way out of. As a girl? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I didn't. Laurie Cannon told me in school. I did not know. I reckon there's some people, like most people laughing at you.

17:34But I think there's some people out there that are actually enlightened. Yeah. I did not know that. I don't think it's pretty. Gone to the ripe old age of 40 that I thought we had two holes. No, you thought you had one. One at the front and one at the back. Oh, yeah. No, honestly. Business at the front, part in the back. Yeah. How did I think that? Because I've seen a diagram of a cat. They've got three holes. I thought they were just weird cats Three holes How weird's that? I said you'd known it to you I'd had one No Very good So how was the rest of your week Since you spoke last?

Do you know, sometimes you feel like egg on toast for your dinner and it's like it sounds like a shit tea on paper but when you have it it's nice and it's good it's comforting yeah so I've got a little seasoning that I put on a Friday I hate that which is a game changer she thinks and I know it annoys her that's what I've learned it really annoys her it's the seasoning that annoys her it's artificial flavourings can you believe that can you believe there's a seasoning that annoys her yeah I can because it's like the fucking powder from a pot noodle that he puts on it and ruins it not bad but anyway it's called aromat right yeah you know what I mean it's good on a fried egg nice just try it listen it's something that no I think you'll enjoy it's like a freaking sour cream and sour pringle flavoured it's just artificial artificial flavouring so I don't know why you get that lovely egg taste yeah but you you tell me like what so tomato ketchup isn't artificial brown sauce isn't you know but there's plenty of people that like it yeah but I have you seen how ketchup's made I don't need to I don't really like ketchup I don't need ketchup I'd go mayo I'd have chips and mayo I'd have chips and mayo rather than chips and ketchup I'd like to make my own mayo Yeah I've never done that I've seen the video It's so easy It's only olive oil and egg is it And then like a bit of garlic if you want Garlic oil You can put a bit of mustard in Proper naughty Chucky egg's definitely something So you had your chucky egg I had my chucky egg I was very happy with that Got your presents Had to try it all on What did you get?

27:04Cardi? I got some golf gear Yeah it was nice Yeah, but then those jackets that I got, you're actually not just for golf, you know? No, no. Well, I wore it to the summertime ball. Round your waist? Round your waist. It was red hot. I really wanted to wear it because I looked fabulous. Fabulous? That's a good sign, though, if you get something, you put it on straight away. Yeah, I was really excited to wear it, but it was just, I was gutted. I wanted it to get cloudy. Yeah. Doing a read, that's it. So I just showed my jacket on. Yeah. And I got you some sheet masks. And obviously the kids make some really nice cards and stuff.

27:40Yeah. It's always nice. And you've got some lovely sheet face masks. Your favourite? I bought you a face cream, but I stole it because I was annoyed with you. And so for it, you used all yours. Exactly. Oh, yeah. And the summertime ball, how was that? Yeah, then obviously there was a journey, the journey there. The journey back was nice though. I slept the whole journey there anyway. if you remember when you the minute you woke up it all started kicked off the minute I've never done that summertime ball that was amazing do you do it twice a year do you do the jingle bell ball and the summertime ball do you is it Wembley where did you do it Chris Stark was there in full force with a full spray tan yeah seeing that I was like bloody hell where have you been Chris was that a spray tan got to be unless he's been to freaking Barbados in his lunch break he likes a little cheeky tinted Moistarised and he told me as well, which I'm not against.

28:35I'm not against. No, listen, he's on stage in front of 80 ,000 people. Yeah, 80 ,000 people. I thought of Chris Stark and them paper knickers. Don't get the spray tan, doesn't make me chuckle. I do mine naked. Do you? Yeah. Nice. I'm always loitering. Have you ever had the spray tan? Never, I know. Does he eat? I know, yeah, to be fair. He's so brown. He's like golden all year round. I'm literally mint green. No, I've never had the spray tan. What do you mean did you say? I'm mint green. I'm that white. Like you can just see mint veins. Mint green. I'm literally mint. It's gross. I have not had a spray tan in my life.

29:12You put a bit of tan on. I've put tan on you. I haven't put tan on? Babe, a little bit of dove in the winter. What's dove? Is that the one where, is it like a moisturiser? The gradual. I have had that on. You better tinted moisturiser than we're missing. Do you remember when you put the after sun on with the tan in? Only for two feet? By mistake. Yeah. Did he have that brown feet? He burned his feet. I kept putting this aftersun on with fake tan on. Do you remember when we were in Ibiza years ago? I think so, yeah. That was the year when I immacked you and burned you alive. Do you immacked my bikini line?

29:4930 degree burns. I'm not joking, right? He couldn't walk or talk. Do you remember when I got in the shower? Do you remember when I was lying down in the shower? You crying? Holding my balls, going, no, no. It's what we've done to it. It was a tactical move. It was a trip just to two of us. How long did you leave it out? It was fine. I thought it was totally fine. And then I got in a shower and washed it off. And, oh my God. My mum and Chloe had some Emach disasters when we were kids. What's the other thing? Emach and what's the other thing? It was like an underground. Veet. Yeah, Veet. It was Veet, wasn't it?

30:23I think it was Veet, yeah. Veet, obviously. Which works perfectly well if you follow the instructions. Yeah, if used correctly, yeah. But I was like, leave it on five more minutes. there's a lot to contend with down there. You've got to peel it off in the bath, haven't you? It's almost like if... No, you can wash it off, right? Yeah, I think it's like a perming lotion. Is it? Almost. So if it over-processes, it just burns the hair. That's what I think. I'm not entirely sure. Basically, if you put it on balls that aren't used to it. Yeah. You know, they were virgin balls. The virgin balls? Virgin.

30:56What's this, Pink? What are you doing here, lad? What the hell are you doing here, son? Fucking hot down here, you know. Oh.

31:07Just another thing you men take for granted about us women. Yeah. It's a tough... Tough gig. It's a tough gig. So much going on. But yet the summertime ball was amazing. We always go, take the kids, they love it. Who was your highlights? Lib and Johnny went with their friends. They all got a limo, Hummer. Go away. And all the kids went in that, similar to the one we got for Taylor Swift. Yeah. So we met them there. And I think they were a bit gutted that they were with us and not the gang of kids, to be honest. Yeah, you kept asking, where do you think they're sitting? Well, where do you reckon?

31:44Down there. Just kept peeking over. Just having a great time. But it was phenomenal. Who did you like? Will Smith was great. I've seen him. I haven't listened to Big Willie for yonks. I know, he's got some tunes. Na, na, na, na, na, na. but he's brought a new song out getting cheeky with it is he any good yeah it the beat is phenomenal but it's a bit pervy oh god it's because he's like a six-year-old man it's like i like pretty girls girls girl but the background is amazing but the video was like soft porn like young girls i'm like no thanks will no go to bed it's funny because he doesn't you know that's his usp and he doesn't swear and he's not like over the thing it's family friendly rapping isn't it I thought he was good as well and Jazzy Jeff like on the on the decks doing his thing and he just smiled the whole time it's the first time Will Smith Smith's ever played at Wembley is he?

32:42yeah he is great isn't he you kind of get laughed after liking Will Smith as a rapper but I like him family friendly but then the other stuff's a bit dodged like slapping people what are you going to do? what are you going to do? who did he slap again? Chris Rock the Oscars

33:00are you sure that wasn't a setup do you know what i am a bit of a what's the word when you don't trust anything conspiracy theorist not conspiracy but uh scenic i'm thinking cynic yeah to try and yeah cynic to try and boost ratings for the oscars yeah that's the fucking view of it i'm a cynic as well yeah so yeah it could be because of that really but then I thought I thought as well I was saying it to Abdi the other day why would he be doing this why is he singing you know like he's a Hollywood actor and then I thought well after that slap he's probably been disowned from Hollywood yeah exactly he's not allowed to get to the Oscars or that anymore is he and he's got no black balls from the industry well there you go so that's what I'm saying that's why he's singing yeah exactly but he has got some great songs hasn't he he's got some crackers Benson Boone phenomenal he does not I've seen it to Peter.

33:55He doesn't have to remember me as Sam. You know, band Sam. Does he? Yeah. He reminds me more of our John than Sam. And John had the mullet. Yeah. It was good. Did he do the backflip off the piano and all that? He didn't have a piano. He just did it off the floor. Did he? Yeah. Yeah, like a straight flip. But his voice. But I tell you who was the best singer there was that Lola Young. And I felt so sorry for her because there was a malfunction with the mic. Oh, no. and she only had she only performed two songs and it like hit you know that um and i'm so messy yeah the whole first there she couldn't hear her but the way she dealt with it was phenomenal yeah and she just when the mic started working when because she couldn't hear through her ears and i don't know if you've ever been on stage but i have it's not you can't hear anything

34:49so you really rely on those in ears but when she going back because there's there was like a big runway in the middle so she lost connection i presume yeah and when she come back oh my god how she overcome it and how she did she restart it no she didn't restart but she just carried she said to the crowd just sing it and it got him getting goosebumps even thinking about it like the crowd just jumped in and sang the whole chorus while she like ran down the big strip to get back onto the stage to kind of sort this technical problem out but her vocals she is a real talent like phenomenal like you know don't you agree yeah I do I like her songs as well I like her songs I was crying watching her she was magnificent it happened to Lewis Capaldi that as well didn't you remember in Glastow when he couldn't do it at Glastow and then like the whole crowd just started singing it it felt like a moment didn't it it's about big time did you notice one of those like people who just see someone it's not their fault what they're going through and then step in and help us it's a nice kind of community thing there is and there's always that kind of vibe in the capital balls whether it's a jingle bell or the summer everyone is there to have a good time everyone is there to like support and cheer on the acts and you know it was just amazing it's a nice atmosphere it's lovely like people like lots of lots of families like a lot of people are taking their kids yeah and it was so Busted and McFly were unreal like I was saying to Pete in the car I'm going to start listening to their albums again that was the first album I ever got yeah Yeah.

36:21Such tunes, haven't they? They're talented. Who do you prefer, MacFly or Busted? It's hard that, because I'd like both of them, but I thought McFly were better on the day. Yeah, me too. I think McFly got more tunes out of them. They seemed to be on the scene longer. McFly didn't they? I think they have more tunes, McFly, I would say. But I prefer Busted. I can't even remember the line. It was McFly versus Busted. But every song, like, obviously that year 3000, obvious one, but some other song, I was like, God, I remember. I used to play that song on repeat. I remember the album covers. They were like in jail, weren't they?

36:55Or something. Rita Ora was amazing. Tate McRae. Gorgeous. Rita Ora, phenomenal. Everyone was great. She did it. Jessie J. She's, yeah. Glad to see her doing, having a good time. Yeah, but she announced that she had breast cancer. I know, I know, I know. I did not know anything about her. Did you? No. I can't believe it. She looked and sounded phenomenal, as always. but yeah god she's gonna take a break now to have a treatment so sending her loads and loads of love and well wishes but yeah we miss mariah how we didn't stay for mariah how do you manage that oh we left we decided to leave did you know she was coming on yeah but she was the last act there's 80 000 people there crowds and that's like the kids like the kids were already they they it's a long day and they're not really are something like it they're my eyes for the parents that's what i thought like for me and ab we'd have been fully involved yeah i don't think they would have been and they would have let us know it we left the house at 1 p.m and we was we were there at 9 p.m yeah we didn't get home till like half 11 at night and then the kids had school monday it was a big big long day but it was phenomenal oh amazing you know a bite the uh stressy stressy car journey yeah and the um take your pillow out my room we're back on track we're back on track and we have had a good week good week yeah nice okay agony abs let's go hey guys we're just gonna take a quick break while you hear from our sponsors and remember if you're liking what you're hearing hit that follow button and if you can be bothered leave us a review because we love reading them don't we if you felt stuck trying to lose weight you're not alone enter weight loss by hers it's designed to support you in reaching your goals and hers now offers access to an affordable range of fda approved glp1 medications including the we go v pill and the we go v pen even better with a range of affordable GLP-1 options.

40:36Welcome back. Hopefully you managed to follow us in that short break. And if you want to pass it on to someone who you think might like this content, you're welcome to do so. Do it now. Hey, love the pod. Enjoy listening to you all. I love the fact Abby is beautiful. yet worries Pete would turn his head. Firstly, you're beautiful and funny and secondly, he'd be a fucking idiot. This is bang on cue, this. Lovely. Problem, I'll keep it short. Husband plays football with a group of guys. Me and the kids will go along and watch so we get to spend more time together. I do genuinely enjoy watching as well.

41:14Another mum who also attends some games and brings her daughter. R2 gets on with her really well. They play lovely and just get on like a house on fire. So I choose keeping this shirt? Yeah, she hasn't. There's loads more. We've now met up separately whilst the men play football. This has been perfect for the shitty weather days and when they've gone further afield, I've got to know her really well. She seems really nice and her husband is definitely punching. However, the lads went out and obviously a few secrets come out as the drinks get flowing. Turns out her husband's been cheating for three fucking years.

41:51Three years. To me, it's more than just a few dirty nights. It's a relationship. He's living two lives while the wife has no clue. Whilst my husband let out all the dirty secrets, all I could think of was I need to tell her, but can I or should I? It would be going against my husband, but then would I be going against another woman? And going against your morals, I'd tell her. I'd like to think if it happened to me they would find out everything so I could catch the snake my husband being a man didn't ask many questions the fucking idiot oh that's said a lot but did stick up for his wife and said it wasn't on the excuse was that's what he said to her the excuse was that he wasn't getting any at home poor excuse in my eyes I haven't seen her for a while but I'm worried for the next meet up my face says a lot and I can't help but put my foot in it, what would you do?

42:48Love and on. Tricky, tricky, tricky. If this is one of my close, I don't know, I just hate all of that stuff because people live life oblivious and think everything's fine. It's really, it's really, really hurtful that someone can do that. You know, it's not a crime if a relationship breaks down and people want to end relationship or go their separate ways. but to do both I just think is is awful and it would knock someone's confidence and self-worth a lot to know that was going on for a long period of time like people make mistakes yeah but that would that if I was the wife being that done to that husband would never see me again for as long as I live like not one day and if that was one of if that was happening to one of my close friends I think I'd feel like I'd be obliged to tell her if it was someone that I knew and saw every now and then yeah I personally wouldn't like to be the one who rocked the boat yeah the only thing I'm thinking of it reminds me of we had this on Ask Me Anything a few months ago you know the woman who got a postcard through the letterbox and it was like just to let you know your husband is cheating on you and on no yeah we did that on AMA I don't remember that yeah Yeah, she wasn't sure it could be someone stitching her up.

44:14Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. So maybe that's an option to do. She doesn't want to. No, I think that's. The husband betrayal thing is, I can understand that. But also, that's only going to be a bad argument with him. Do you know what I mean? Like, it's not going to cause you and him to split up. I don't think if you do tell her, like, it's just going to cause an argument. I'm not worried about, I wouldn't be worried about my husband in this instance. Yeah. That's what she said. She doesn't want to go against the betrayal husbands. That's why I would never tell you if my roommate provided in me. I know that you would tell you tell them hmm how do you feel with that sitting on your conscience no I wouldn't be happy but like it's not right obviously it's not right it's certainly not right if that was one of your friends just don't tell anyone though I would expect you to respect that yeah and I do do you know what I mean though but I do if you tell me not to tell that's what she's saying he's probably said to her don't repeat this information and I think if she does go out and repeat that yeah then it's like like although obviously it's far less worse than what he's doing yeah it's still a that's gonna cause a yeah that's gonna cause an issue in your marriage definitely or an argument at the very minimum so what I'm saying is she could anonymise it and send the thing and go oh this didn't come from me to everything but that's a quagmire mate that is a quagmire but it's not a nice a bit like you know that is an agony that's an agony and a half but you know the poor woman deserves to know really she does especially if it's going on still now like you said that's like a fucking emotional relationship affair isn't it it's not like he's going out bladder then you know that's an excuse hard to come back from like just a bit no i mean obviously the relationship is 100 over yeah but just within herself because you have all of those feelings like your whole life was a lie and yeah you're living with someone who could be so deceitful and yeah do that to your face and live like a normal life like it's it's really really wrong it'd be so much easier if he just said I don't want to be with you anymore correct that is a tough one so what should she do could she speak to the lad first she could speak to her husband oh that's a good show P yeah and say look I'm going to tell her you need to tell her I do why don't we think of that good show yeah well done hi Ross this is from the person who we asked for the date follow-up okay sending more info about my Irish friend Kerry Kerry age 35 lives in London Newington Green description of her super sporty uh she what she's doing sports and watching is a sports overachiever doing Ironmans winning fitness competitions works in marketing very sociable and outgoing loves going out with big groups of friends huge fun always up for a laugh and a night out can also be super supportive and a listening ear she's about 175cm that's 5 '9", blonde great Irish accent she's like I want to date this girl sounds like a 5 '9 version of you I've written about this and confirmed she's not a narcissist her likes are sporty rugby, golf, triathlon outgoing, social she's the girl who is too sporty for the guy no oh she enjoys music festivals travelling holidays her wish list tall, athletic build she likes a strong forearm good style perform a more rugged look versus a pretty boy.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, it’s chaos, carnage, and caravan fantasies as Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch return with their usual mix of hilarity and home truths.


From Father’s Day flops to weekly moans, the couple covers everything from Abbey's missing makeup and teen daughters who steal, to Peter’s viral golf video trauma and some eyebrow-raising confessions about canal boats.


A listener's story of a first kiss that turned into a lifelong love sparks one of the most wholesome tangents yet, until it’s derailed by a chat about Transformers, flannel pyjamas, and a furious pillow dispute.


We’ve got parenting pandemonium, a DIY birthday Glastonbury, and “chucky egg”… whatever that is.


So if you’re in need of a laugh, a moan, or just want to hear Peter whisper “Decepticon, climb on bed,” this one’s for you.
