Abby and Pete reading out the extracts of that book when I had sudden fear that my AirPods weren't working and the entire carriage could hear what I was listening to. love the show G from Ireland funny enough G yes I've got the book here actually so make sure those airpods are working have you ever done that where you've had the you play music I've never had airpods oh okay but what about your headphones or headphones I just have everything on loudspeaker yeah if I'm in the public or at home I can vouch Abba Goldwell you're on the train I can vouch for that because I don't want any radiation in my ears that's genius So I don't put my phone, I'm trying to minimise it, but I, you know.
3:25But you're just always on the phone. I've put always on the phone, yeah. So I've got no hand. Yeah, I got done, I got done in a gym with those, you know, those noises. Oh no! They're shocking. You got done in a gym? Yeah, I was in my golf club gym. Yeah. In the reception and I was waiting for you. Do you know when someone sends you the video and it's actually the noises? and you open it and it was like oh that's so embarrassing mate the two reception girls were like we've all had it yeah I don't mind I'm so sorry but I think because it's always the same noise everyone knows it's like getting Rickrolled yeah yeah what's a Rickroll when people used to click on a video and you'd think it'd be like I don't know some Russian Civil War and then you click on it it'd be Rick Astley going we're no strangers to love it's like a big thing is that like the one where you click on it and the big giant willy comes out yeah yeah yeah Yeah, I've sent that on the mum's group once and it didn't go down too well.
4:24Because I didn't even open it myself. I just put it on. Like someone texts me, well, there's this discount offer on. Discount offer. I was on this big, big dicked hunk. I love that. Class. Oh, God. Did you say big dicked hunk? Yes, I did. You're correct. She did. She did. Yes. You're right. I was like... she was just in lemon water in that love oh fuck yeah okay well I've just had a little read myself yeah making sure I've just did the page you can just you can turn down any page on this book I love that incredible I want to read that book I might take that with me tonight you girls are like mad I think yeah yeah I think it's a bit mad I've never spoken to one lad who's been reading a smutty book no porno yeah no no sorry porno yeah but I mean a book like that I'm not judging it I think it's great but I think it's it's escapism isn't it and some people like might need that yeah but I mean boys read books but it tends to be like an autobiography or something I find or something like mafias and stuff girls do read smutty books very stereotypical there Ross well yeah but okay I actually like nice books I'm not saying you personally but I'm saying in general like Little Women I've read so many times oh yeah I love that and the film that is a cool film actually yeah it's so good we're turning it into book club again yeah love it don't we crouchy google me and the glue of the podcast Captain Ross this is from me I hope you guys are all good me and my wife have been married four years my wife and together for 12 we're best friends and we trust each other 100 % or so I thought one night we were sitting on the sofa together watching TV and she begins my friend asked her husband if she could go through his phone.
6:17And the husband said no, and now she's suspicious. Pretending to care or just say the right thing to remind her I'm a good guy, I responded, oh, that's terrible from him. I couldn't care less if you wanted to go through my phone. You can check whenever, I've got nothing to hide. Calling my bluff, she said, okay, can I look through your phone now then? My stomach dropped to my arsehole and I instantly started to panic. I was silent for a second, but I handed over my phone. Even though I know there's nothing she could find on my phone that's divorce worthy. I had a natural panic. She might read something one of the guys has said in the golf WhatsApp chat or a weird pic someone said that she'll find strange.
6:56Endless thoughts ran through my mind as I watched her scroll through. After a minute, she said, oh my God, oh my God, no, you didn't. Why have you done this? What the fuck? As the colour drained from my face and panic started to set in, I felt so lost and had the feeling my life is over, but I couldn't work out what she'd found. She then had a little laugh and said, actually, I've got the ick. As she turned the phone to show me what she'd found, she went through my Instagram inbox and seen I'd messaged Peter Crouch a happy birthday.
7:30Bravo, sir, bravo. I'd never felt more relieved and also more surprised. Anyway, we had a giggle. And now, of course, she's told every Tom, Dick and Harry that I'd message a celebrity happy birthday.
7:46You'd be relieved to fear she hasn't divorced me but will randomly call me a gimp. A gimp. What an insult, by the way. That's hysterical. Oh, mate. What's your name, mate? And when's your birthday? Because I'd love to give you... He sent the screenshot of it in. Actually, so I'll send you the screenshot so you can buy it in. Let me know because I'd love to know when his birthday is. I'll just send him a random... Yeah, yeah, yeah. A random birthday message. I love that. I love that as well. Oh, it's so brilliant. He destructed us so well. we need to give my dad a birthday message actually it's his birthday today yes yes yes yes we'll get on to that do we have one more wine one more wine oh that's cute but the um there is a lesson in that if you search you will find so i would probably not do that yeah it's not it's not ideal is it it's not good long time listener makes my drives on tuesdays and thursdays i've always had the image of Tudor Bob Ross as similar looks to Andy Carroll, but a blonder version with a top knot.
8:45Strong jaw, cheeky side eye, though I don't think. Andy Carroll as an side eye that I have ingrained image of him from the start of a football match where they do the AI images of the players on the pitch on match day. So who's that from? Andy Battle. More like Andy Pandy. Yeah, yeah. do you want to explain to peter what we decided last week oh yeah so obviously you you were absent um because you were ill we decided that we have we've asked our audience to do an e-fit you know like a crime picture you know where uh they sketch yeah a police sketch of ross and the one who's um closest to it will get to have a little beverage with our rossi Bev Ragino.
9:33Yeah, Bev Ragino. Yeah, it's a good show. That is a good show. And I can't wait. That's why he's commented on the Andy Carroll thing. Okay, so, no, I think it's, he's way off. Yeah, he is. The only thing you've got similar to him is the height. Yeah, he's still even taller, I think. Bradley Cooper's the shout, I think. No, but it's only Bradley Cooper in The Star Is Born. Yeah. It's not Bradley Cooper on a normal day. Suicidal alcoholic, Bradley Cooper. Thanks, guys. I actually, he looks the best he's ever looked in that film. Yeah, it's a beard I think, isn't it? I don't like him normally at all.
10:09I think he looks like Ellen DeGeneres. Remember the name of it? Ellen DeGeneres. Ellen DeGeneres. You think he looks like her? I do, yeah. I think especially now since he's had the bloody facelift. Oh, man. Actually, his face looks dodged down, Oh my God, why? Why? But he looks fit in there. Yeah. In The Star Is Born. I'll take that. I'll take that all day. You are related to me. he has this jumper as well you wouldn't be seen dead in that the bargain bit you should wear that's got sports star record all over it doing the bargain back it's sports star two for one on a bog off that's why we got matching I think you'd rock that cowboy look you should do that I've got the hat from Yellowstone as well but you should wear like as your image that kind of look it'd suit you I'll have a little go on that instead of flannel shirts central sea or whatever you're dressed as today H H H yeah H of bloody steps anything from Sports Direct doesn't go with a pair of jeans in my opinion no unless it's a pair of Ben Sherman jeans or Ben Sherman shards you used to wear that didn't you wear what Ben Sherman yeah yeah Ben Sherman was all the rage when I was a kid yeah we used to all go out in the same same shirt with different pastel colours we'd like look like a fucking load of in-between of fruit pastels.

The fact there is wearing briefs in the first place is an ick. Yeah, excuse me, I was interrupted. Go on. I slide my hand into my brief. I'm just picturing this. I take hold of my cock. It's already thick and pulsing with desire.
24:35I reread the last line of her letter and I stroke myself what? I hear her voice in my head I can't hear you could you slow down? I reread the last line of her letter as I stroke myself I hear her voice in my head saying how much she wants to be fucked stop it I can't take you that word exactly and not just fucked by anyone fucked by me
25:03Oh, that is gold. Oh, fuck me. Well, sorry, phrasing.
25:12Well, that was BBC. That was the BBBC. BBC. BBBC. Correct. So I think we should keep sending in suggestions for the book reads because we've had loads sent in and any particular chapters or stuff. We'll rate them and I'm going to make a book club online for people to do. Yeah, I think it'll be so. What are we rating them as? what's the most erotic yeah erotic like intrigue I don't know you can just give them an overall rating I mean that was that was the good girl effect by Sarah Kate Zara Kate that book I read on holiday that I couldn't put down was phenomenal was it filth yeah was it in Greece that was a that was a fantastic author those those I had like four of them it was the same author as Verity yeah I don't know and I read like five of them but they were a bit filth oh okay and the guys are all gorgeous in them as well how do you know the guys are gorgeous in them because of how they describe them tall dark and handsome tall describing words no tall blonde and handsome nice nice you type I type I think you could get a job as like a smutty audio book reader I'm available Jack and Ori after dark yeah Tom Hardy does it doesn't he but for the for kids nothing like this obviously no listen email in if you'd like me coming in your ears I can do it next week so this seems like a great place to pause and hear from our sponsors and if you want to join our members only BBBC our Bonk Beats Book Club then hit that subscribe subscribe book by the way guys okay let's move on to some how can you have shall we segue into that I think we got away with that I think Bonk Beats Book Club got off to a flyer yeah good evening the clans cardi p and tudor bob ross i've recently listened to the latest pod valentine special and i thought i was listening to a personal message when you were reading out the listener's email regarding his divorce uh just a bit of context from 36 year old mel and i've never been brought up in a household where kisses cuddles and saying good night and i love you was a regular thing even getting a well done if you'd reached a goal in life i've only had two relationships My first was a 10 year and my current one is five and a half.
27:31And I've just basically sat down, been sat down by my missus telling me things have to end as it isn't working. And it's basically the same reason as my first, me not showing that I care and I'm not affectionate towards her. After listening to the Valentine's episode, everything you were saying was ringing true with me. I couldn't help but agree with everything I was saying in terms of doing the little things to let your missus know that you are thinking about them and you care. This is where I fail massively. I do love the woman I'm with now. And I really want to change things. But for some reason, I just can't express my emotions.
28:08And even the simple hug from behind or cuddle or kiss when I get in from work is hard for me to do. Even though I do have the thoughts of doing these things. I know I can't carry on life like this. And I don't want to end this way. And for me to not learn and it to happen again if I meet someone in the future, please help me out and tell me what I need to do so doing these little things these little signs of affection become normal and I don't even have to think about doing it and showing the people I do actually care I love the pods and I've been a listener since episode one love the good work Nathan from Middlesbrough oh it's a tough one it's sad isn't it funny when people often say like I don't know how to express myself emotionally and they're often like the most well written and nice emails I think isn't it do you know what I mean?
28:58Well, that's obviously really, really grieving with him, you know, it's obviously really, and he's taking his time, sweet Marilyn, note that, it's not a quick fix, you know, because he's not, he's a product, your environment, and he's not had that in his life, and that's his norm. Most behaviours that men, or people have, are learnt from their upbringing, and how they display emotion, or show their feelings, is how they've been taught, yeah you know generations can be different um but like i know our kids when they grow up they will know how to definitely express their emotions and their feelings because they've grew up grew up in a house where they they get kissed and hugged and a million times a day um and they've seen their parents do that as well um i think obviously what he said to us he needs to say to her I think so I think again reading that email that was like a beautiful like kind of look window into his kind of psyche a little bit you know what I mean and I pity him I feel empathy for him but I think if you had to read that to her she'd really understand more I think what do you think yeah I think like you say if you probably tell her those things and say that these are the reasons why I'm not like this but I'm really wanting to improve and you can you can make it a team thing yeah because she might just think you're being cold and like oh he doesn't touch me he's not interested in me and actually you're his everything and he is interested but he just can't do that you know and that's not as uncommon as you think either by the way I've got friends who've never been told I love you after mum and dad ever it's mad isn't it it's bonkers yeah it's not as uncommon as you think no it's not at all I grew up with that did you getting told you I love you by your mum and dad every day 100 % yeah I did yeah that's what I'm saying I've met multiple people where that's the case both here and in Spain as well it's not like a cultural thing it's just that people think I think you think Spanish should be you're overly kind of thing yeah and like the Italians you're thinking all that yeah sadly no I think I think with time I think it's better like I think maybe like well that's what I mean it's like a generational thing it's like in the 70s like the dad would come up stick football lip and all that come on grow up exactly don't cry whereas now I think we're more in touch with how we feel well I enjoyed that part yeah and I think it's nice to have these messages in from our listeners who really you know connect with the pod and want our advice but I think ultimately the main thing that comes across is that you should you just need to talk to people yeah and tell them make them feel that it's a safe space to share their feelings yeah I agree 100 % yeah nice to hear from Jeff today as well I thought yes Jeff is so funny we need to get my dad on I really think so we should have I think he should be a guest I think we need to do it when he's just down here next to you know put it on him a bit because I feel like dad come down for it he never will he gets like stage fright and starts being even more weird does he he does he gets like Tourette's yeah he goes strange he gets like verbal diarrhoea like for no reason and just says silly things starts double ending we've also got we've been inundated with giveaways for I'll Be Home for Christmas where even stars have Christmas dreams by Abby Clancy.
32:21I've got, Pete, I know you're taking the piss out of me. Not taking the piss. But I found a load of your original book, Walking Tall. Yeah. When I was cleaning the house out, yeah.

35:20Stay tuned for next week.
On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, things spiral almost immediately as Abbey and Peter dive into everything from our newly launched BONK BEAT BOOK CLUB chaos to one of the most unfiltered birthday calls we’ve ever heard.
Peter shares a listener confession that had him panicking when his wife called his bluff and asked to go through his phone…
We also hear the return of The Nickname Game, featuring some truly outrageous submissions including ‘Thrush’, ‘Harpic’ and the now infamous ‘Butt Plug’ — before Abbey calls her dad live on air for his birthday… and he absolutely steals the show.
In the Agony Abs, we hear from a listener who fears he’s about to lose another relationship because he struggles to show affection — sparking an honest and surprisingly emotional conversation about how men are raised to express (or suppress) their feelings.
