“That Is CORRECT!” Abbey and Peter REVEAL Bedroom Confessions, Bulging Discs & Keeping Score!

In short

Abbey and Peter Crouch (with Gaz) do “Therapy Crouch: Ask Me Anything,” mixing banter and advice about gym confidence, bedroom “bedroom lights on” issues, and pillow talk/dirty-talk icks, plus listener stories about laughing on planes and keeping score in sex.

Guests/backgrounds

No separate guests; the hosts are Abbey Clancy, Peter Crouch, and Gaz. Listener contributors include “Donna from Leeds,” “Jemima and Tim,” and “Graham from Aberdeen.”

Key claims

Gym confidence can improve how you feel even if your partner doesn’t notice changes; Pilates is described as intense and better for cortisol than hardcore cardio; GLP-1 weight-loss drugs can reduce muscle; insecurity can be triggered by seeing a partner’s glow-up; men may be “mute” in bed, so awkward verbal requests can backfire.

Notable examples

“That is CORRECT!” chavvy “verbal” during sex; “Gary/daddy” as a preferred cue; tracking “shags” monthly; laughing out loud on a plane with headphones; horse ligament injury (Enzo Ferrari) and dog/cat health updates.

Every weekend, it's come over for snacks, let's make dinner together, and somehow the second you put out a fruit platter, it seems that bugs show up before your friends do.

0:46This is why I have to have my Zeevo flying insect trap. You plug it in and you let it do all the work. It's specially designed blue and UV light attracts the bugs you didn't know you had. And wow, did we have a lot. like house flies fruit flies gnats and then with zevo bam next thing you know the pests are caught in the sticky cartridge and away from your yummy treats without any mess or strong odors the best part is the design is actually sleek and curved so it hides the bugs it catches keeping them out of sight and when the cartridge is full you just grab the no mess tab throw it in the trash pop in a new cartridge and then you're done no mess no stress so whether you're hosting a dinner party or spending an afternoon baking treats with all your friends, and you want to focus on hosting and not constantly swatting at bugs, Zivo has you covered with 24-7 bug protection.

Hi, this is Becca Moore from For the Girls, and this podcast is sponsored by Aerie, where you can find the right bra in 59 sizes, soft fabrics, and good fits. If your bra strap is digging into your shoulder right now, it's the wrong bra. We get so used to being in pain as girls that we forget it doesn't have to be this way. Your clothes should not hurt. I got to the point where I stopped wearing bras altogether. And now my life has changed, you guys. The only bras I have in my dresser right now are Aerie, and I'm not kidding.

2:08Aerie's on a mission to make you feel good, and that starts with your bra. Your bra should hold you in, not back. Visit Aerie.com to find the right bra for you. You just want to talk over me? Is your voice too slow? Why is it too slow? It's not AMSR, Pete. I've got a bulging disc in my back. Wasn't a disc, sweetheart. I knew he was coming.

I do laugh at my own jokes a lot I laugh at my own jokes if they're good they're good I think whether I've told them or not

7:18if they're good I'm going to laugh definitely I'm with you I think of one I go that's fucking unreal I'm already laughing no one thinks yours one is is yourself isn't that all that matters have you ever laughed if I think I'm funny and I'm laughing then have you ever done it where no one else is though. So you've said a joke, you've laughed. Yeah, me. Yeah. I'm not only like that. I tell Ab, I tell Ab and she doesn't laugh, you don't laugh at most of them, I reckon 80%. Maybe only new people laugh at them. That's how I'm wasted on you. Do you know what I mean? That's just some good stuff there.

7:59Quality material. I'm not getting the love, it's not getting the love it deserves. Original power material. Hey, you're listening to the streets. I think you have been laughing a lot more recently. Yeah, I've actually felt a little bit better. There was a period where you just turned away. Because I'm happy now. Okay, good. Have you ever laughed at your own jokes? All the time. You all laugh at your own jokes. You give a little cheeky smile at the end of some, but I don't remember seeing you crack up at your own. Yeah, but I think I'm quite funny. She has laughed. She does laugh at her. It's a silent laugh.

8:30That's not good for the podcast. I have told her about this. Yeah. You know, because for the podcast, the audio listener, no one knows if you're laughing or not lucid kaza's laugh is so loud liberty's laugh is so loud lucinda just looks at you like this with tears she just goes that's what you do so when me and hair are like laughing together it's just silence so you've got a fight that comedian's nightmare you too yeah that is make a sound yeah oh well I've got one from Donna here we're going to get into the to the agony abs people need help alright alrighty let's get through it right I don't even know where to start with this ask me anything ask me anything

9:20I get told off for breaking into you get told off for interrupting sorry that's what you get told off for sorry Sorry. Is there something you'd like to say? I forgot now. No. Unreal. That's just a minute I'll talk. You just want to talk over me. Because your voice is too slow. Why is it too slow? This is an audio. This is, this is should, yeah, we can take up. It's not AMSR, Pete. Even then, I just started talking then, you just talked over me again.

9:51Do you want me to proceed? Proceed. Guarantee I don't get through this without you speaking over me. Here we go. Right now, I don't know how to start, so I'm just going to say this. My husband has got really into the gym and it's working. He looks incredible. I'm not complaining about that bit. What I'm complaining about is the confidence that's skyrocketed. Most notably, the bedroom. Am I allowed to laugh? You can laugh. Okay. Does that count as an introduction? I told you. I knew she could do it. I knew it. There's no way. There's more to come. Now he wants all the lights on. all of them every light he's up there like it's a photo shoot i'm hiding under the duvet asking if we could at least do the dimmer switch and he's confused by it basically his glove up has become my crisis and i don't know how to explain i loved us both better when we were equally soft and it was dark is that mad am i holding him back or is he holding a spotlight on things i'd rather leave in the dark bonner oh nice message it's poetic interesting issue but men it's like men are always I think I feel like in general men take more care of the body like with the muscles and all of that than girls do you think there's a lot of like buff men yeah with kind of girls who aren't particularly gym goers yeah it's interesting you say that because I think the male experience is like blimey how's he pulled her it's usually the other way you're like God, she's gorgeous for this guy rather than what you're saying.

11:22I don't know. It's like if you look at Love Island, all the boys are buff, aren't they? And all the girls are kind of, they're not up doing sit-ups and all of that every day. Yeah. But all the men are like that, aren't they? Pumping iron. You do it though. I do. Pumping iron every day. Obviously, I've still got the green on. I'm still, I'm just. Listen, I like to do stuff every day. I can. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good show, but I do. I do as well, but I was suffering. I was in agony. I've got a bulging disc in my back. So I booked Mike. Wasn't a disc, sweetheart. I knew he was coming. I knew he was going to say it.

12:02Grow up. Can't say the word bulge without going into fit of the stereo. What was the reason in my back? Was it mainly around the morning? Vile. um so before the hen i booked like i was thought i'm gonna have a personal trainer every day and i couldn't do it and obviously my normal exercise is my horse riding and he's injured so i've been able to ride him do you want to laugh oh my god that's really crass a bulging disc in the back come on that would that was you teed that up i could not say that okay anyway I don't even know what I'm saying now no yeah you've been under the weather no you've struggled with your back yeah is it better how is it is it on the men you haven't made it to the gym is what you're saying yeah and I feel it yeah I feel like I'm not like tight the thing is even if you don't look that much different you feel it you feel better yeah and that is the key because that gives you more confidence absolutely and I think when you do go to the gym or you do something you do feel better you might not look any different to your partner but you have the confidence yeah i think going there just getting up getting out of bed and doing something no it makes you feel better it does yeah i think she's feeling like maybe she's not doing so much but i don't want your body to go too good i want to i want to have the best body in our relationship do you know what i mean yeah i think you both feel that way about each other though right you want to be hot for the other person you want to stay yeah that's what i mean yeah oh yeah definitely You want, you want, you know, you want to be fancy, don't you?

13:45At least a little bit. I'll take one, two percent. I have a question for you though, Abs, going back to your point about like the lads being more buff and taking care of the girls less, like less so visually. I think it's because like weightlifting is very visual, right? You can't miss it if a lad's doing that. But you're, some of the classes like Pilates, I've never seen what that actually is. Like how intense is a Pilates class? Oh, it's so hard. Is it? I've done it. Have you? These girls go hardcore, I'm telling you now. Are they quite intense? I think there's just like so much, what's the word?

14:16You know, for me, I used to do all that like high intensity, like box fit, cross training and stuff. Hit training, yeah, yeah. But I think for me, that just hires my cortisol too much and it can have a detrimental effect on your body. So you'd be like going to this gym, doing all this hardcore cardio, running bare pieces and think, why isn't your body changing? because you put your body into like a state of too much cortisol. And for women in particular, and as you get older, then you can get like your belly fat doesn't go and all that because of cortisol. It does all these hormone and changes in your body.

14:52So as you get older or just in general, like doing the Pilates, it's strength, stretching, strength, toning. And then if you combine that with weight training, you know, that's strong bones, you know, it's good for you. mental clarity everything so you don't need to have to because i'm not a runner it's like there's no way i'm running anywhere it's interesting like this i'm involved with this vital ventures thing right when it's like you know health companies and um startup companies and one of them was um you know people are using a zempic and uh the jab manjara yeah yeah but the gyms don't know how to cope or to train with people on the on this job because it's so new with the zempic it's well it's not that it's new it's been around for a very long time but it's the new thing for the weight loss because it's it's for diabetics yeah and to lower inflammation and blah blah blah but what it does do it what you can lose you lose all of your muscle yeah so if you see these people Like on a Zen pick, they've got such super, super skinny arms, super skinny legs, no arses.

16:02And that muscle does not come back. So how do we, going back to Donna from Leeds, what's the advice? Be proud of his glow up and let him have the lights on or? Yeah, I think he's confident, isn't he? No, but I think if you're, like if you were in the gym every day and you're like totally ripped and I'm feeling a little bit like on the flabby arse side, I would be a bit like, you know the comparison i think it's a it's detrimental effects maybe in that way so even though i'm like oh my god he looks so hot it would make me feel a little bit more insecure so there's two things she can do here she can keep the lights off and not get the benefit of looking at his amazing new body or she can go down the gym herself and gain some confidence because that's what it's about really it's confidence isn't it really i think that that would be the better option i think And then both have the lights on together.

16:55And look at themselves in the mirror. Yeah. Let's go for it. Let's go for it. Full on. Stamina. Get the mirror on the ceiling. Get the mirror on the ceiling job. Yeah. Film it. Stop filming it. Spinning bed, rotating bed. They even exist. Are they just in films? They love heartbed. We've got, we've got. Spins around. Yeah, we're rolling. We're rolling in bed. And a mirror on our ceiling. We've had it. Haven't you? A couple of years now.

Next thing you know, the pests are caught in the sticky cartridge and away from your yummy treats without any mess or strong odors. The best part is the design is actually sleek and curved, so it hides the bugs it catches, keeping them out of sight, and when the cartridge is full, you just grab the no mess tab, throw it in the trash, pop in a new cartridge, and then you're done.

18:46No mess, no stress.

Plug in a Zivo flying insect trap so you can work smarter, not harder, and actually enjoy your time at home. I thought I was there. I thought everyone was. I don't know a couple of years now. We've been revolving for a while. Oh yeah. you spin me right round no we haven't we haven't um you got me there we could though okay got one from shelve and portsmouth says hi cardi p clanson gas okay bear with me because this is genuinely the biggest ick i've ever had to tell anyone about my boyfriend's pretty non-verbal when we're in the bedroom i prefer that do you i can't stand verbal this time and place i think you know it's very rare i don't like it no did i like it you're not verbal thankfully well not not too much i reckon gaz is 100 i actually i don't want to lower the toe in the pot i got told to shut up one night stand once yeah shut up in the throes of passion i'm very verbal i'm not very like i can tell i just i know exactly she's like would you mind please shutting the fuck up and i was like okay all right got you got you wow that was a turn off Wow.

20:13Anyway. And he's like that.

20:18I can see it now, could you? Oh my God. Wow. I can see it now. I can see it now. He used to do my head in as I'm quite vocal. So one night over a glass of wine, I told him I'd like him to try and be more vocal. Not dirty talk necessarily, just regular talk with a bit of spice to help set the mood. I'm not talking about dirty talk. I'm talking about like just noise in general. Oh, noises in general. Oh, no, no. She wants a bit of chat. Noise is just a no. I don't think Romana's noise is good. No. Not too much noise anyway. Were you making noise or were you talking dirty? More talking. No, it's just good.

20:53It's verbal. Do you like that? Do you like that? Who's your daddy? Say Gaz, your daddy. Say Gaz. Say Gary. Shout it. Say Gary. Say white linens.

21:09Oh God. Tell me you love the black boxy. Oh my God. Can you come close, please? I keep moving around. Okay, right. Anyway, he says he'll give it a go. Now I could work with Dirty Short. That would have been fine. However, what I got was possibly the most weirdly chavvy thing I've ever heard come out of his mouth. And it's icked me out to high heaven. We were going at it in pure silence. It's like when our Sean's mate. This girl was like doing something to him and she wasn't getting it right and I think he was like manoeuvring her in the right way or whatever and then he went that is correct unreal once he'd manoeuvred her into the right yeah he said no no like no no that is correct yes that is correct that is correct isn't it weird the things we do that is correct oh my god I want to know what this guy's saying yeah okay we were going out pure silence uh he was trying to come up with something to say i could see it took him a moment then he allowed he loudly announced good this in it good this in it like we were sharing a curry the worst part is uh i've started waiting for it now i'm braced i can't relax because i know something daft is coming and the second it does i'm gone it's over i'm laughing how do you tell the man you love that his pillow talk sounds like a bloke reviewing a lamb rogan job because if i don't say anything i'm going to laugh in his face one day and that will end us quicker help pete nab's uh shell oh my goodness isn't it yeah he's trying isn't he it is a difficult thing to do you know it's hard to get like most men kind of mute anyway, I think.

23:01Do you know what I mean? What do you mean mute? Mute when they're having sex? No, like in general. Yeah, because they can't fucking get a word in. That's why. So if it's like an unnatural thing, if it's like an unnatural thing, and he's probably, it's probably excruciating for him. And he's probably feeling the pressure. Like, what do I say? You should ask ChatGPT. that's a good bit of advice yeah but the thing is now I feel like because she knows it's not him it's not in him but anything anything he says it's gonna it's gonna send them to work yeah yeah that's what's your stuff do you say guys anyway so Jemima and Tim they've written in the whole podcast are dying to know what would be your what would be your lyrics you could help the guy out tell you off there my lyrics go on tell us go on just look at one little I think we've one cue just a little like something just a little bit of wisdom no chance I'll tell you what my come on I'm waiting with bated breath we've said this on the podcast this could change their life this could I don't know what her fella's name is but I didn't like hearing the words Gary back at me when we were making love so that's where because if someone's like Gary Gary I'm like oh god I'm just aware that my name's Gary now so I feel I feel like I needed a dummy word for that.

24:28So that's when we got the daddy. The daddy thing was in. Oh, daddy was in. That's it. It's easier to hear that. I just can't do daddy. Yeah, you don't rate the daddy. Daddy is horrific. I'd literally project our vomit on you if you said that. I just think this guy is one off. I really do. I think he's fantastic. Love him. Oh my God. Okay. Anyone else? What about you? Any tips? anyway no no tips no no no tips you sure you're talking about your golf hole um

25:04i'm trying to think just never bother peter

25:11um do you like my verbal no i do not absolutely do absolutely do you really do hey guys love the keeps me company on my commute to work after months of me recommending your show my tech phobe dad finally bought his first ever pair of headphones and i downloaded some of the episodes of him to listen to on the plane big mistake he walks through the airport plugged in bursting out in extremely loud laughter every two minutes an air hostess had to ask him to move out of their way three times while he stood there unaware laughing out loud at the podcast embarrassing me and my brother in front of a very very large crew of people uh waiting to board the plane that was me in nashville because i listened to the liberty oh yeah uh wine tasting ep yeah and i just think she is funny as fuck yeah but you cackling you just crease it up i was i got told to be quiet um because i was on the plane because i was laughing out loud to it laughing out loud that's a good sign i love that that's a nice image yeah um he then went on to spend days at the pool plugged into his headphones lounging on a sunbed and having outbursts of laughter we think other people around the pool thought he was having a fit of that there was something wrong with him he also spent lots of time recounting episodes that i'd already listened to months ago um you've gained an avid new listener and we've now made the decision as a family he's not allowed to listen into the pod in public anymore do you guys ever ban your other half from anything like that or is there anything your kids do on holiday that you have to ban from doing in a similar way love the pod Jemima and her dad Tim I don't think you should ever suppress laughter like you shouldn't it's just you're in the wrong place if people are telling you to be quiet for laughing yeah because it's the best yeah it's medicine and I think if he's listening to that on his own he's having a laugh let him crack on brilliant sounds ideal to me that line on a sun lounger laughing your head off yeah yeah like to yourself having a gig yeah it's actually a really sweet thing anyway it's nice that the dad's obsessed with it because there's i mean a lot of dads are obsessed with i don't know mechanics or do you know i mean or uh f1 i have no idea i mean but uh to be into the pod that's quite a nice thing to me we have we have a lot of that when we're out and about like people coming over and say that they really enjoy it it's a nice thing and you know we have a laugh don't we like yeah you say like obviously so busy you've got things to do this makes us sit down and have a laugh yeah which is a good thing you'll be having a laugh later shoveling off them bricks with me is that your plan for after this shoveling bricks apparently so i just think it when we we went out the other day and we were picking our own tomatoes picking the veg and it was so lovely just to do that together wasn't it was nice actually we can transform that area together okay so these have said um do you ever ban your other half from doing something like that uh i don't know i mean And there's a, I don't know about a banding, but there's a few like football documentaries like I want to put on.

I love the basketball one. I love those. I want to watch Nadal. And I want to watch Ronaldinho. I want to watch both of those. I like it for the mentality, like that elite. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mentality. Jose one just come out. Is it a recent one? Yeah, it's good. Is it good? The new one. Did you both watch it? It's good, yeah. The special one? The special one. Is that what it's called? No, it's just Mourinho. Oh, right. It's good.

28:45No, that's what he called himself? The special one? It's about Mourinho. Yes, thank you for that, babe. Oh, is that like a well-known thing? Yeah, yeah, for everyone knows that. Okay. He was so handsome when he first joined. Have you been to the pictures lately? I feel like you guys go quite a lot. Odyssey in the cinema properly have you got it have you not seen it yet no oh so good seen it twice we went to see Spider-Man it was fabulous was it good that was really good was it yeah I love Spider-Man I'm not really asked about that no really it was good oh no it was good so good no we went with the kids but it was good ah yeah yeah yeah I watched it I watched Marvel last night with Jack did you that's what we were watching in bed he loves that raccoon that drives like the spaceship or whatever does he have you seen it what was that the Guardians of the Galaxy Yeah, yeah, yeah.

29:40He's like, Mama loved that record. Every time it comes, Mama loved that record. Fair play. There's nothing we don't let the kids do, isn't there? Like, no. I don't like when they sit next to each other and fight. That annoys me, the life out of me. So right now, I have to sit in between them. Oh, do you? And if they sit in a car, I hate the messing around. The boys can't sit. It starts with, you know how it goes every time. Yeah, yeah. It starts with a play, like, touching each other. Then it's a tickle. Then it's a fight. Then it's a punch. And then it's just full on war. And it's game over. So you just need to always be in the middle of them.

30:17Yeah. Jack thinks he's getting his fade today. Thinks he's getting a Phil Foden. Is that what he wants? Yeah. He wants a line as well. He's become a little style icon, Jack. He's just got his own style. He's got a shaved head and earring in. He wants a Phil Foden. I don't mind. I love Phil Foden. Yeah, but... I think he's so cute. If you actually analyse that haircut, I'm not sure. It's dreadful. I'm not sure it's the one. Absolutely dreadful haircut. I'm going to pull it up. It suits Phil Foden. It suits, because he's got a gorgeous face and so is our son. I think he looks like he could be like a Clancy.

30:49Phil Foden. Oh, I see. Like the big chin and the big nose. Like a Clancy. Like a. Oh, Phil Foden could. Actually, now I see it. He looks like one of the boys in our family. Yeah. But that's what Jack wants. But he wants the zigzaggy. little lion in it yeah oh really no we're in discussions anyway uh a big shout out to tim anyway who's listening to uh our pod and laughing his head off um i hope he's bloody subscribed like comment subscribe hi abs pete and the therapy crouch team formal i've always i've always loved you ask me anything so i thought i'd send one in hopefully it's not too inappropriate a long time ago being a lad from aberdeen i had you could say a few too many uh aberdeen angus burgers what's that uh he's piled on the pounds oh i piled on the pounds my relationship with my wife stuck to suffer as a result brewer's droop and all that what's that you can't get a can't get a boner basically you know you're not at a brewer's droop absolutely not well that's a good thing you haven't heard of that so I made a deal with my wife keep on just advertising yourself I'm just I'm not advertising myself I'm just saying like that's good it's a very old young man so I made a deal with my wife I'd go to the gym four days a week to get fit and then we'd have a better love life I'm aiming for at least one shag a week what a shout man after my own heart you've got targets I'm happy to report that things that's way too much are taking is it really is it really I'm happy to report that things are taking an upward trajectory in that department ever since however now my wife has started keeping score not in a competitive way in like an admin way like what she's got it into her head that she should be tracking these sorts of things and she'll casually mention afterwards all breezy and casual like it's twice this week is she saying it's a good thing or is she saying you've had enough sister Well, last night she says, ooh, we're up on last month.

32:54And I generally didn't know whether to be proud or jokingly ask for a copy of the figures. Is this normal behaviour, Graham from Aberdeen? So I think she's giving himself a pat on the back. What, is he feeling used now? No, I think she might maybe giving him a pat on the back and saying like, ooh, we're doing better. Yeah, I see what you're saying. Do you know what I mean? Or is that like, another pound, another shag, honey? Is it more that? is she trying to say to him keep going to the gym oh keep going to the gym keep going like ooh see what happens when you lose a bit of weight yeah she's trying to spur him on maybe interesting from a from a lady's perspective so I do that yeah that's what I do you're trying to give him targets I give you a prize give me a prize if you take them bins out I'll give you a little prize like a five year old literally I do take the bins out okay bud every time Don't fucking cash in on the prize though.

33:50Don't swear at me. Yeah, that's what I think she's doing. Maybe. It's a little bit of reverse psychology going on. We are aware of this. You know, we're not complete dunces. Reverse psychology. We're aware of what you're doing. It's so attractive when men like really clean the garden. So attractive. Really turns me on when men like get rid of all that shit. it's so exciting that when you change that light bulb when you the way you do that dishwasher it's like the way it's like a an absence to me and i just can't make my own tea you make it so nice oh yeah fucking tea bag can i just say it's literally a tea bag and take it out and put milk in i know but i am so bad at tea do you think i'm 12 do you know do you know i'm buying myself a lie detector test oh yeah i've heard you mention this sick of this i swear on your life may you drop dead it's not that it's not just you who has to make the tea for me by the way time it's it's every i ask everyone so i said you can't be bothered no i sent scott's tea back yesterday scott made me the worst cup of tea yesterday it's like lukewarm milk with sugar in it because i don't have sugar in my tea the worst thing is i am quite proud of the fact that i make a good cup of tea.

35:11You are? You make the best tea? Yeah, no, that would work on me. Like it seems to work. Yeah. I know it's probably manipulation. But Pete, it's not. Pete, it's genuinely on my life, on your life not. I'm happy. I feel happy. It makes me happy that you tell me I've got a good cup of tea. But it really pisses me off the way you say that because it's not true. Well. Fuck you. I'm not going to ask you to make a tea ever again. That's how I feel. All right. Would you like a cup of tea then? No. I can boil the kettle now. It's behind us. Do you want to? uh okay who made the cup of tea before it's nice yeah yeah it's behind you isn't it who made it it was me all right it's a good time it's my new job now she's lost me right so then she's moved on to you you've gone do i was it a nice one yeah really absolute mug i was doing that for years do you know the way your mind works actually sick okay so you can't put boil the kettle put it in and take a tea bag out and put a tiny bit in milk.

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back answering more of your Ask Me Anythings, and this week things get VERY personal as the pair tackle bedroom confidence, dirty talk and whether getting into the best shape of your life can actually cause problems in your relationship.


After one listener reveals her newly ripped husband suddenly wants all the lights on in the bedroom, Abbey and Peter debate body confidence before the conversation somehow ends up with rotating beds, sex tapes and a revelation from the Crouches that catches everyone slightly off guard!


We also hear from a listener whose request for a little more communication in the bedroom spectacularly backfires when her boyfriend starts delivering some of the least seductive lines imaginable. Abbey reveals the one word she could NEVER cope with Peter saying, while Pete attempts to offer some bedroom advice of his own.


Elsewhere, a new Therapy Crouch superfan gets banned from listening to the podcast in public, Abbey and Peter reveal what they won’t let the kids do on holiday, and one listener’s mission to get fit and improve his love life leads to his wife quite literally keeping score of their bedroom activity.


Things get slightly heated before the end as Abbey’s innocent request for a cup of tea turns into a full-blown marital debate over whether she’s secretly using some very clever reverse psychology on Pete!
