“Therapy Crouch” solo AMA episode where host Pete answers listener questions, plus Abby’s absence due to volunteering at an animal shelter.
Pete prefers keeping existing memories over forming new ones; “shabba” is the correct pronunciation/lyric from “Mr. Loverman” (not “shava”); for short romantic breaks, they recommend Italy (e.g., Rome/Florence) and focus on culture/food over weather; Pete is strongly against open relationships, arguing it can’t end well without major ground rules, while others discuss “different strokes”; when forced to choose, Pete would never play golf again rather than “do the deed” again.
memory/landmark moments like children’s 18th birthdays; a sing-along debate over “Shabba”; romance trip picks like Sicily/Paris/Amsterdam/Rome; open-relationship “ground rules” like no shagging mates.
none (no named guests; Abby is mentioned but not present).

1:13Hey guys, if you're enjoying our content, please like and subscribe. Ask me anything. Hi guys, and welcome to the Therapy Crouch. Ask me anything. It is just me, unfortunately. It is a setup slightly different. Abby's volunteering at an animal shelter. That's not even a joke, by the way. I'm in the studio, so we thought we'd do a special AMA for you. We've been doing the AMAs for a while now, and there's been some absolutely crackers. You getting involved has just elevated this pod to new levels. I'm going to cherry pick four of my favourites. Right, this first clip is way back in 2024, right back towards the start from the episode about extraterrestrials.
1:55Memory Loss and Bedroom Antics and in this clip I'll start by saying the entirely wrong title of the podcast before we get asked a pretty intense question about memories please check it out Welcome to that, Peter, what? Oh no, no, no, no, no That's the first time I've ever done that How dare you How very dare you That's the Crouch podcast It's been going a while, you know This is the therapy crouch This is my favourite part This is the therapy crouch Ask Us Anything I'll Have You Know Yes, it is It's a great time of the week where the listeners get a chance to ask us absolutely anything. Yeah, and we will answer completely honestly and to our full capability.
2:35Sound like you're in court there, haven't you? I know. Wow, you're swearing. Yes, Your Honour. Do you want me to go straight in? Straight in. Okay. Hi, guys. Absolutely love the pod. You have me cracking up every time. You have the best banter ever. Very nice. You or me? It says you, so I imagine they mean me. You, Paul. I think I speak for all your listeners when I say thank you for bringing up our days so the question is would you rather lose all your memories from the past or lose the ability to form new memories from Ben that's a cheery thought Ben thanks mate thanks for that wow I'd keep the memories I had yeah yeah because it's all my kids and you know the life I've had and my childhood don't think about your kids 18th birthday getting married having grandkids why are everyone so arsed about the 18th birthday well I just mean like landmarks in your children's lives what are they going to become who's going to forget all that well I don't want any of them but I would choose the memories I've already got because yeah because they've been incredible so far so yeah no I'll go with that as well but it's a bit you don't even know what bloody day it is so you're on that you're on that path now I can't remember anyway I send you a shop with a list with three things on and you forget two of them.
3:53So that's literally your current state. But you know what? It's a bit of a mare, really. Why don't you have the ones that we've previously had and I'll create new ones and tell you all about them. Yeah, and then it'll be like living with you. This next one is from the episode which is fantastically titled I Don't Want to Go, The Girls Are Too Hot. and in this clip one confused listener writes in for clarification on whether we should pronounce the word shabba or shava we answer complete with a sing-along and hand gestures this is a belter right hi abby and pete me and my boyfriend absolutely love the podcast and think it's so funny and relatable however we want to know if it's shabba with a b or shava with a v I'm convinced that it's shabba and it sounds like abby says shabba too whereas my boyfriend is adamant it's Shava.
4:47It's from the song Mr. Loverman Shava If it comes for a song then I think Peter says it like Shava. Please could you settle this debate for us? We have decided that whoever is wrong has to pay for the next date night. Is it obviously children? Because they don't know the song. Shava It's beer. Listen to Mr. Loverman is it Shabaranks who sings it? Mr. Loverman Shava Shava I'm thinking Shabaranks isn't it? It's not Shabba It's definitely not Shabba Anyway, it's Shabba Do you know we played that game Where we had to swap out Love and half and knob That was one of the ones That loads of people Sent us Mr.
5:25Knobberman Mr. Knobberman It's Shabba Shabba Who sings it Yeah, Shabba ranks Who sings it This is the song anyway Shabba Shabba Shabba Do it to me Shabba Do it to me Champion lover Gonna make it tonight Oh No, it's gonna be alright Oh Champion lover Night Champion lover This song makes shabbering seem okay I used to have this in the locker I can tell yeah Shiara Mr. Lover Mr. Lover Mr. Lover Mr. Lover Shabba what's with the middle finger that one the double Boston what would you do that oh that one's fine is it that one penetrator babe the double he's going for double the fun extra vile double the fun
6:45a double shabba is much better than a single shabba surely it's shabba shabba shabba not shava they obviously don't know the song they must be too listen to that tonight you're an absolute belter and every time he says shabba you know what to do the next one is from an episode called they call me the clants which is an amazing reference to Abby creating her own nickname where we go to a ranch we live out our cowboy fantasy Yellowstone style the question we get asked is where would we recommend going on a short break we give our honest opinion although to be honest our answer has changed over the years we were in a particularly Italian mood back then please check this out should we fire straight in she's fire straight in apologies for the if you are watching us this will become apparent later Yeah, but who doesn't want to watch two cowboys on a sofa having a great time?
7:42Why not? Helping. Helping people. Where do you recommend going on a short romantic break around February time? Or February. For some reason. It must be taking the groomer or something. So Pete, no. No. No, Pete. He's obviously taken a leaf out of your book and wants to surprise his wife or husband without her knowing to an incredible adventure. So we've been on quite a few good ones recently. Sicily. Sicily was fun. I don't know about February though. It's Valentine's Day, Feb, isn't it? Romantic. I think Feb's like a city break, right? Yeah. Paris. It's got to be, you could do Paris, Barcelona, like Rome.

11:39Okay, what do you think about open relationships? I've been in a 10-year relationship, no kids. We don't spend much time together. We all have the same hobbies. I don't want to lose my relationship and what I've built, but I'm sure if I want to be more free, maybe. Tasha, I am not open to open relationships at all. I thought you were going to say that. I do not get it. However, I'm not judgmental. And if, you know, if that's what people want to do, because, you know, sometimes relationships fizzle. They might not be as sexually attracted to each other as they once were, but love each other's company so it can stay together for that reason.
12:18And, you know, they go out and get sausage somewhere else.
12:26So soft. So soft. How do you feel about it, Ross? What a sausage, a real? Different strokes for different folks. I think, yeah, it is that, isn't it? But I don't think it can't end well that... I don't think there's a... Wouldn't you just be thinking of it? Yeah. I think you need some ground rules. That'd be essential. Like what? No shagging your mates. no having repeat performances. I don't know, something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So are you just saying it can be like one-night stands? Yeah. I don't know. It's not archivity. I don't think. You don't think? Is it? What? You're questioning it.
13:14Well, you know where the side door is, if you're not happy. You know where the utility door is. I can take my shoes off. Yeah, I'll leave your shoes by the utility door. Thanks, babe. No dirty rooms. Yeah, but she wants to be more free. Do you? The thing is, let's just have a conversation with your partner. It looks like it'll probably end up being they split up or they try it. We might as well try it. I don't think there's any going back. Why are you so open to this? I'm not. I'm just saying she's into it. Not me.
13:55Ick? Go on. Ick? The word ick is an ick. Hopefully you answer for a bit of fun. Pete, would you rather never be able to do the deed again with Abby or never play a round of golf again? Not even on the driving range. Oh, my God! Truthful answers only, please, Peter. That's horrible, that. That's a horrible question. Well, seeing as though he wants an open relationship. I know he's going to choose. Play golf? Yeah. What? Three would. I'd regrettably never play golf again. Shut up. Well, I'd be disappointed by it. I don't believe you. So, no lies on this podcast. Thank you very much. Well, I'd never be able to have you again.
14:43Babe? What? Don't say it like that. What do you always say it like? Big sweet love.
14:53Gosh. The golf's gone, babe. You're my one and only. I don't believe you. It's true. That was really good fun, I thought. That was good fun. Good questions. Yeah, really good questions. Getting better. Yeah, and thought-provoking. Thought-provoking. The meal deal one threw me off there a bit. I'm really craving a prawn mayo sandwich now. Yeah. We're having a barbie instead. So, yeah, enjoy your afternoon or day, night, whatever time you're listening to this. Well, that's that. And listen, looking back over the old clips, honestly gets me laughing. I do enjoy them. It's great getting you involved.
15:28Please continue with the questions because we love every minute of doing it. We'll be back from Portugal next week if we can get Ab away from the animal shelter. Just a quick one before we go. I did walk a dog the other day that wasn't mine. And that was a surreal moment. I left my three dogs in the house and walked a dog that had nothing to do with me. we'll see you next time ask me anything sure bye

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Pete is flying solo for a special AMA throwback as he revisits some of the funniest, weirdest and most chaotic moments from old episodes of the podcast. With Abbey away volunteering at an animal shelter (genuinely), Pete dives into a handpicked selection of listener questions that completely derailed the pod over the years.
We hear the infamous debate over whether it’s “Shaba” or “Shava”, a surprisingly deep conversation about losing memories, and one listener’s dilemma about open relationships that sparks absolute carnage in the studio. Pete also looks back on romantic getaway recommendations, cowboy fantasy holidays, and one brutal question that forces him to choose between golf… and Abbey.
As always, the AMA questions are carrying the podcast once again and Pete admits looking back at the old clips genuinely had him crying laughing.
