    Abbey Wants To Play A Crackhead In A Movie?!

    On today’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are still living their best lives in Portugal as they answer your most random, chaotic and hilarious questions yet. Peter reveals his bizarre talent for recognising footballers from just their forehead, the gang debate whether digestive biscuits have got thinner over the years and Abbey shares the household tasks she absolutely refuses to do. The conversation quickly spirals into dream movie roles, awkward running styles, questionable farming smells and whether being called “Daddy” in bed really does increase testosterone levels by 300%. There’s also chat about Arctic Monkeys, celebrity acting ambitions, animal births, podcast life behind the scenes and why Abbey would rather play a crackhead than a glamorous role.

    The Guest That Accidentally Put The Podcast To Sleep!

    On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in Portugal and things descend into chaos almost immediately as Pete gets called out for his bizarre podcast habits, the couple debate whether men dress like toddlers on holiday and Abbey relives her iconic school lunch era involving giant sandwiches, wham bars and borrowing 20p from classmates for dinner. The Agony Abs are particularly unhinged this week as the team discuss whether a grown man letting his mum trim his toenails is the ultimate relationship ick, before tackling a wedding guest dilemma involving cheating, exes and potential reception carnage. Pete also reveals his strict “no d******d policy” for weddings and why some guests simply have to go. There’s also a surprise guest appearance that completely changes the mood of the podcast and leaves the whole room unexpectedly relaxed. The gang chat stress, burnout, sleep struggles and why certain voices instantly calm you down… while others do the exact opposite. Plus, football flight tracking, weird family beauty treatments, podcast breathing complaints and why Abbey thinks Peter has officially become too calm.

    “You Can Shove Your Puppies…” Portugal AMA Gets Wild!

    On today’s Ask Me Anything episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in Portugal answering your dilemmas and diving into absolute chaos from start to finish. From debating whether three dogs is officially too many, to navigating awkward step-parenting moments and hilarious regional slang debates, this episode has a bit of everything. The pair also open up about family life and the emotional reality of living far away from parents as one listener asks for advice about moving abroad and missing home. Abbey shares why she’d never cope with the kids leaving home while Peter reveals the lockdown-style family traditions he’d bring back in a heartbeat. Elsewhere, the GCSE debate returns as listeners question whether Abbey really got the grades she claims, leading to a full-on interrogation from Peter and the team... Are we saying foul play? There’s also audiobook confessions, freezing cold Portugal weather complaints, and a lot of discussion about “freezies”, “ice pops” and “lolly ice” that completely derails the episode.

    Peter Gets DESTROYED By Pensioners! Abbey Exposes His Portugal Tennis Disaster

    On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are still living their best lives in Portugal… although Pete’s ego may have taken a slight battering after a disastrous mixed doubles tennis tournament against a group of senior citizens who absolutely wiped the floor with him. Abbey wastes no time exposing exactly what went wrong, including Pete’s “respectful” approach that spectacularly backfired. The couple also dive into one of the biggest causes of relationship tension — diary planning. From golf days and family logistics to who really controls the calendar at home, Abbey explains why every single plan now has to go through Claire before marital chaos erupts. Plus, the gang discuss relationship “icks”, going upstairs two at a time, hobbies couples should definitely keep separate, and whether Oasis officially counts as “Dad Rock”. Elsewhere, Abbey reveals her surprising obsession with David Beckham’s vegetable garden and chickens, Peter reminisces about Oasis nostalgia and Desert Island albums, and the team debate what books and music they’d take if stranded forever. There’s also talk of reality TV habits, holiday advice, and why some things are simply better enjoyed without your partner. 00:00 Portugal Detox & Party Recovery 01:14 Peter Gets Humbled At Tennis 03:00 “Consistency Is Key In Tennis” 04:31 Ross Update & Listener Messages 04:58 Abbey Hates Seeing Pete Lose 05:26 Abbey’s Fear Of Tennis Lessons 06:27 Abbey Opens Up About Childhood & Sport 07:20 Abbey vs Peter: Ultimate Sports Day 08:31 The Couple Argument Everyone Has 10:11 Abbey’s Strict Family Diary System 12:03 Why Busy Couples Always Clash 12:49 The Weirdest Relationship Ick 13:28 Running Up Stairs Debate 15:14 Abbey Reveals Her Biggest Insecurity 15:45 Abbey Discovers A “Normal” Listener 16:26 Abbey’s Celebrity Lookalike Debate 18:05 Couples Sharing Hobbies Goes Wrong 19:14 TV Shows They Refuse To Watch Together 20:37 Hunger Games & Comfort Movies 21:39 The Best Holiday Advice Ever 22:52 Tail’s.com Ad Read 24:28 Desert Island Dilemmas Begin 25:35 The One Book They’d Save Forever 27:31 Roald Dahl & Childhood Reading Memories 28:07 Abbey’s Disturbing Book Confession 30:15 The Secret To Getting Kids Reading 30:55 Desert Island Albums 31:41 Oasis, Nostalgia & Dad Rock Arguments 34:04 Abbey’s Beckham Garden Obsession 35:34 Doomscrolling & “Ignorance Is Bliss” 36:19 Peter’s James Bond Fantasy Life 36:40 Peter’s Visit To Eton 37:49 Inside Eton’s Incredible Traditions 39:15 What Makes Privileged Kids Different? 41:02 The Reality Of Elite Schools 42:40 The Team Debate Luxury & Success 44:18 What They’d Actually Miss On A Desert Island 46:03 Desert Island Guilty Pleasures 47:51 Holiday Packing Essentials 49:20 Things Couples Secretly Judge Each Other For 51:08 Their Most Addictive Habits 52:44 Listener Dilemmas Return 54:33 Final Portugal Reflections 56:17 End To contact us: Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/ For more from Peter https://twitter.com/petercrouch For more from Abbey https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancy Our clips channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

    EP. 400 | That James Milner Episode: Elite Mentality, Dressing Room Truths & RECORD-Breaking Career!

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids are joined by Premier League legend James Milner — and it’s every bit as honest, chaotic, and insightful as you’d expect. From breaking appearance records to being labelled “boring,” Milner opens up on the mentality that’s kept him at the top for over two decades. He takes us right back to his Leeds debut at just 16, the brutal dressing room culture that shaped him, and the surreal transition from academy kid to first-team regular. The conversation dives deep into his time at Newcastle and Aston Villa, before lifting the lid on the madness at Manchester City — big egos, training ground bust-ups, and the relentless fight to stay in the team amid £30m signings every summer. Milner also shares incredible insight into Liverpool’s transformation under Jürgen Klopp — from early disappointments to building a title-winning machine — revealing the intensity, leadership, and culture that powered one of the most dominant teams in Premier League history. There’s also plenty of classic pod chaos: dressing room pranks, wild fines, and stories that perfectly sum up why Milner is one of football’s most respected pros. After Milner departs, the lads wrap things up with a Paddy Power segment and this week’s Chaos Card, making some very questionable “phone a friend” calls… Chumbawamba 00:00 - Intro, chaos & podcast return 00:14 - Testicular cancer awareness message 00:48 - Giveaway winner & merch chat 02:26 - Milner joins the pod 03:00 - “Boring Milner” label explained 03:38 - Breaking the appearance record 05:16 - Dealing with attention & praise 06:44 - Avoiding the limelight 08:12 - Fitness, longevity & elite standards 10:03 - Dad’s influence & mentality 10:36 - Old-school Leeds dressing room culture 12:18 - Leadership & helping younger players 14:46 - Debut at 16 for Leeds 16:01 - First team training shock 00:17:37 - Premier League debut story 19:29 - Dressing room pranks & chaos 21:41 - Earning respect as a young player 24:15 - Aston Villa move & failed transfer 26:29 - Villa form & career progression 29:00 - Playing 7 positions in one game 30:56 - Man City move & title-winning journey 33:25 - Big egos, fights & training chaos 37:02 - Aguero title moment reaction 39:11 - Liverpool move explained 42:19 - First impressions of Liverpool 45:51 - Klopp’s arrival & ruthless standards 47:19 - Intensity of Klopp training 50:10 - Personal connection & leadership 1:05:00 - Listener messages & wrap up 1:18:46 - Milner leaves the podcast 1:20:30 - Post-interview debrief with the lads 1:25:10 - Paddy Power segment 1:30:15 - Chaos Card: Phone a Friend begins 1:35:40 - Celebrity calls chaos & wrap-up 1:38:50 - Outro For more Peter Crouch:  Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch  Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch  For more Chris Stark  Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_Stark Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/ For more Steve Sidwell  Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14  #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

    EP. 399 | That Ben Foster Episode: GoPro Fines, Refusing a Final & Man United Pressure

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids are joined by former Watford, Wrexham, Man Utd and England goalkeeper turned YouTube trailblazer Ben Foster — and it’s safe to say this one is packed with absolute chaos. Fozzy lifts the lid on life inside some of football’s biggest dressing rooms, from the relentless intensity of Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United to the pressure of making one mistake at the very top level. He opens up about the moments that shaped his career, including refusing to play in an FA Cup final, getting battered 6–0… and somehow still finding a way to laugh about it. We also dive deep into the story behind the GoPro — the idea that changed football content forever — including the backlash, dressing room reactions, and the fines he received from clubs for showing too much. There’s also incredible insight into Wrexham’s rise under Ryan Reynolds & Rob Mac, including promotion celebrations, behind-the-scenes stories, and one of the most iconic penalty saves in recent football history. Plus, we get into goalkeeper psychology, “parched” players, dressing room politics, and what really separates those who make it at the very top… from those who don’t. And there’s this week’s Chaos Card, and a slightly chaotic solo finish from Crouchy himself to top it all off.

    EP. 397 | That Jürgen Klopp Episode: Life after Liverpool, RETURNING To Management & Salah's farewell!

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete sits down with one of football’s most iconic managers… Jurgen Klopp. From arriving in Liverpool to building one of the most exciting teams the Premier League has ever seen, Klopp opens up on EVERYTHING — the highs, the heartbreak, and the moments that defined his legacy. He reflects on falling in love with the city, the reality of “failing big,” and how togetherness became the foundation of Liverpool’s success. There’s insight into THAT front three, the importance of players like James Milner, and the relentless mentality that drove Mo Salah to world-class levels. Klopp also gives a rare look into life as a manager — dealing with unhappy players, creating belief, and why sometimes… you need to make players angry to make them better. We also ask the big question.. do you miss it all? Plus, we get stuck into World Cup predictions, Harry Kane’s evolution, and of course… things take a classic Crouchy turn with shin pads, mobile networks, and some unexpected Giffgaff slander. After the Klopp chat, Pete, Sids and Chris break it all down — from what makes Klopp so special, to just how close Liverpool came to complete domination. This is a MASSIVE episode. Insight, laughs, and one of football’s greatest personalities at his very best.

    Conspiracy Theories Get WEIRD! Flat Earths, AI Takeovers and Robot Birds!

    On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, the Portugal adventures continue as Abbey and Peter settle into holiday life with VERY mixed results. Peter gives us the dramatic rundown after suffering a painful defeat on the tennis court while Abbey reveals she’s been volunteering at an incredible animal rescue centre in the Algarve and may have fallen in love with another dog… again. Elsewhere, Pete finally gets his hands on Abbey’s GCSE certificates after years of doubting her straight A claims, but is he convinced they’re actually real?! We also dive into some absolutely bizarre conspiracy theories involving Flat Earth believers, robot birds, AI taking over the world and whether Bill Gates is secretly behind EVERYTHING. In the Agony Abs, we hear from a listener whose mother-in-law keeps secretly rearranging her house and another who’s completely horrified by her husband’s “helicopter” habits after showering… If you want to submit an Agony Ab to the podcast - hit the link below https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKDST4HU_8al_aWpOlys3TRJrWvDV-84piVdlOOjU4/edit 00:00 Introduction 01:05 Pete’s Brutal Tennis Defeat 04:35 Abbey’s Emotional Animal Rescue Story 10:20 Abbey’s “Straight A” GCSE Results Exposed 13:35 Abbey’s Secret Pop Star Dreams 14:05 “Blue Jobs” & Relationship Rules 15:00 Portugal Reset & Family Time 15:30 Would You Rather: Meet Dave 17:20 Mother-In-Law House Drama 20:10 The Helicopter Husband Confession 23:20 Reuniting With A School Bully 25:55 Conspiracy Theory Special Begins 26:20 “Birds Aren’t Real” Debate 27:55 Bill Gates & Tick Conspiracies 29:10 Flat Earth Theory Explained 32:40 AI Is Taking Over The World 33:15 Abbey Has Never Owned A Laptop 34:05 Was The Moon Landing Fake?! 35:55 Pete Questions Space Travel 39:30 Final Conspiracy Thoughts 50:20 Wrapping Up To contact us: Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/ For more from Peter https://twitter.com/petercrouch For more from Abbey https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancy/ Our clips channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

    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.

The former England international also shares hilarious stories from his first ever England call-up at just 18 years old, including meeting legends like David Beckham, Paul Scholes and Tony Adams, as well as witnessing Kevin Keegan resign after England’s defeat to Germany at the old Wembley.  Elsewhere, Joe breaks down one of football’s most painful and underappreciated jobs — being the designated “charger” in the wall — and why taking a free-kick to the face was sometimes the easy option.

After a heavy night, the boys are feeling it as they dive into everything from airport pints and junk food cravings to the strange “punishment” dynamic that can creep into relationships after having a bit too much fun. Things quickly spiral into one of the funniest and most chaotic ick discussions yet – including a barber chair moment that might just be the greatest ick of all time. The team also tackle your dilemmas, from navigating life after a breakup to whether giving your ex money after winning the lottery makes you a terrible person… or just a decent human being.

    EP. 395 | Ranking More “Game’s Gone” Moments - Chelsea’s Ref Huddle & Digital Match Programmes?!

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Crouchy, Chris, and Sids dive headfirst into another chaotic round of your “Game’s Gone” submissions—and nothing is safe. From Chelsea’s baffling centre-circle huddle (with the referee somehow stuck in the middle of it) to the death of printed matchday programmes, the lads dissect the modern game’s strangest trends with their usual mix of nostalgia and disbelief. There’s outrage over “starter and finisher” terminology, confusion around American-style commentary creeping into football, and a proper debate on whether football is quietly losing its identity. The boys also stumble into some all-time ridiculous footballer names, explore bizarre football simulator games, and question whether players today are a bit too… well moisturised. Plus, Crouchy gears up for a Liverpool Legends return at Anfield—with big plans to bring back proper shin pads. Packed with listener submissions, strong opinions, and plenty of laughs, this episode asks the big question once again: has the game well and truly gone?

    Peter Crouch: “I Didn’t Sign Up For This” — Home Style Debate

    On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, we’re back for another Ask Me Anything and things get unexpectedly heated… over PAINT. Abbey Clancy and Peter Crouch dive into a listener dilemma about kitchen colours, which quickly spirals into a full-blown debate on Abbey’s obsession with the infamous “bone” shade. From “50 shades of bone” to Peter questioning his entire marriage contract, it’s chaos from the start. Abbey leans into her interior design expertise, dropping surprisingly detailed recommendations (and proving she definitely knows her stuff), while Peter isn’t entirely convinced—especially when talk turns to gold floral wallpaper and dream living rooms. The pair clash over style, money, and what really matters when building a home, leading to a deeper conversation about whether a house is just a house… or something much more meaningful. Plus, the gang answer your questions on relationships, from navigating design disagreements with your partner to planning the perfect 15-year anniversary without breaking the bank—featuring some seriously tempting travel tips (Greece might be calling…). Expect laughs, honesty, and a glimpse into how differently couples can see the same life decisions.

    EP. 396 | Dermot Kennedy: “You Have To Be DELUDED!” – From Busking to Sold Out Stadiums OVERNIGHT?!

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Sids, and Chris are joined by global chart-topper Dermot Kennedy for a wide-ranging chat that blends football culture with life on the road as one of the world’s biggest touring artists. From busking on the streets of Dublin to selling out the Aviva Stadium, Dermot opens up about the grind behind his rise, the self-doubt before album releases, and why live performances still mean everything to him. The lads dive into Dermot’s deep love for football, growing up as a Manchester United fan inspired by Roy Keane, and his unforgettable experiences playing Soccer Aid alongside legends like Wayne Rooney, Rivaldo, and Carlos Tevez. There’s also a brilliant crossover between music and football as they compare elite mentality, confidence, and what separates the very best from the rest. We also get a hilarious (and slightly chaotic) guitar lesson for Sids as he prepares for a potential live performance at Finsbury Park, plus a stunning live acoustic performance from Dermot that completely stops the room. After Dermot heads off, Pete and Sids regroup to debrief Pete’s participation in another Liverpool Legends match, the Paddy Power predictions, and life without Chris—who’s conveniently on holiday… Chumbawamba 00:00 - Podcast intro & Sid’s “popstar” identity crisis 03:10 - Wild guest booking stories & big names teased 05:10 - Phone network XI & absurd football chat 07:45 - Dermot Kennedy joins the podcast 09:00 - Touring with global superstars & live show pressure 10:45 - New album nerves & self-doubt before release 12:00 - Busking in Dublin & early arrogance 14:00 - Music industry vs old-school artistry debate 16:00 - Irish music culture & live performance roots 17:30 - Football fandom & Roy Keane stories 19:00 - Meeting Roy Keane & brutal fan encounters 22:00 - Playing football growing up & mental escape 23:30 - Soccer Aid stories & facing elite pros 27:30 - Playing Old Trafford & halftime performance nerves 29:00 - The moment his career exploded overnight 31:30 - Talent vs hard work in music 33:00 - Sid’s chaotic guitar journey begins 35:00 - Sid plays guitar (and survives) 36:30 - Dermot performs live acoustic (incredible moment) 38:30 - Fan questions & bizarre phone plan reveal 40:30 - Songs he nearly didn’t release 42:00 - Touring life & favourite cities 44:00 - Musicians who can actually play football 45:00 - “Game’s Gone” – VAR & modern football rants 48:30 - Dermot leaves & shin pad campaign chaos 50:00 - Liverpool Legends match debrief 55:00 - Paddy Power predictions & football catch-up 01:05:00 - Chris on holiday & podcast wrap-up For more Peter Crouch:  Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch  Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch  For more Chris Stark  Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_Stark Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/ For more Steve Sidwell  Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14  #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

    EP. 362 | Ask Us ANYTHING! Football Regrets, Best Nicknames & A Big Money Move To The Saudi League?

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads hand over the reins completely… because you asked, and we answered EVERYTHING. From the real story behind how the podcast first began at the BBC (yes, it was basically football’s version of One Direction), to nearly hitting 400 episodes and planning something huge for the 10-year anniversary — Pete, Sids and Chris take a proper trip down memory lane. We dive into the one game Crouchy would replay forever (and the medal that still stings), Sids relives promotion chaos and post-match beers, and the boys get brutally honest about whether they would’ve taken the Saudi payday at the end of their careers. There’s also Cheltenham madness, Harry Redknapp tip stories, footballers calling their jobs “appearances”, shocking dressing room nicknames, the worst Premier League kits of all time… and somehow, a serious debate about double pudding etiquette. Plus — is Crouchy officially a free agent in the phone network transfer window? As always, let us know in the comments: - What game would YOU replay? - Would you take the Saudi move? - And how many “appearances” have you made at your job? 👀 00:00 - The “67% Don’t Subscribe” Plea 01:26 - The Great Phone Network Debate Begins (Again) 03:06 - Signing a 3-Year Deal… For £1 More? 04:02 - Vodafone Price Hike Rant 06:09 - “I Might Become a Free Agent” 06:49 - Giffgaff’s £10 for 40GB Offer 10:22 - Cheltenham Plans & Guinness Village Chaos 11:52 - Harry Redknapp’s Legendary Tip Story 14:13 - How The Podcast Actually Started 16:46 - The First Ever Photo 17:24 - 400 Episodes & 10-Year Anniversary Plans 18:01 - CrouchFest… On Tour in Pubs? 21:58 - Radio Stations We’d Love to Host 28:35 - Why Footballers “Train” For Their Job 31:17 - Sh*g, Marry, Avoid: Allardyce, Pardew, Pulis 32:37 - The One Game We’d Replay Forever 34:21 - Promotion, Beers & The Best Week Ever 43:05 - Would We Have Taken the Saudi Money? 49:38 - FA Cup Jackets & Macclesfield Moment 51:07 - Worst Premier League Kits of All Time 54:52 - Double Puddings/Kunis Confession 56:47 - Best Dressing Room Nicknames Ever Follow our Clips page https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLNBLB3xr3LyiyAkhZEtiAA  For more Peter Crouch:  Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch  Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch  For more Chris Stark  Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_Stark Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/ For more Steve Sidwell  Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14  #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

    CLASSIC CLIPS | Ramsdale On The SECRET Goalkeeper Tactics At Arsenal & The Most PARCHED For Arteta?

    FROM THE VAULT: In this clip, former Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale joined the lads to break down the evolving role of the modern goalkeeper and how the position has become more influential than ever. Ramsdale lifted the lid on his relationship with manager Mikel Arteta, explaining how he’s given responsibility to dictate play and make key decisions during build-up phases. The conversation dives into the tactical details behind set pieces, including the increasingly popular “draft excluder” role, with Ramsdale offering a goalkeeper’s perspective on why it’s used, when it matters, and how it can impact the outcome of free kicks. He also shares insight into communication within the squad, the intelligence of teammates like Martin Ødegaard, and the growing importance of goalkeepers in shaping a team’s overall strategy. But most importantly… who was the most parched?

    Love, Sleep & Saying “No”! Abbey and Peter Clash Over Relationship Habits, Parenting & Dream Days!

    On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back with their usual mix of honesty, chaos and laugh-out-loud moments as they dive into the realities of relationships and family life. Things kick off with Abbey’s “weekly whine” as she calls out Peter’s inability to say “no”—leading to confusing messages, overcomplicated situations and a few relationship frustrations. Peter hits back, claiming he’s just trying not to offend people, sparking a relatable debate about communication styles in relationships. We also hear about a disastrous night’s sleep thanks to Abbey’s beloved Calm app, as Peter reveals how a relaxing meditation voice actually leaves him wide awake. From there, things spiral into bedtime chaos after the pair fall asleep watching TV and wake up to a completely different (and slightly traumatic) show. The conversation turns more heartfelt as they discuss Mother’s Day, expectations around appreciation, and whether love should be shown every day rather than saved for special occasions. Plus, they open up about the realities of parenting—juggling kids of different ages, losing their weekends, and finding ways to keep the whole family entertained. Later in the episode, Abbey plans Peter’s ultimate dream day—from luxury holidays to golf and unrealistic travel plans—before things take a hilarious turn in the kitchen as they argue over how to properly make a jacket potato.

    Abbey Calls Out Peter’s Non-Stop Holiday Behaviour In Portugal!

    On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back in Portugal for part two of their sunny getaway, but there’s no peace and quiet in sight. Abbey wastes no time exposing Peter for turning the family holiday into a full-blown sports tour, with golf, paddle, football and post-match beers all somehow making the itinerary ahead of family time. Peter, naturally, insists it’s all part of his passion for sport. The couple then get into a surprisingly honest and hilarious debate about why football brings men together so easily, and whether women have anything that creates the same kind of instant bond. Peter reflects on his emotional return to Liverpool for the Legends match and why sport has always been his escape, while Abbey explains exactly why golf sends her over the edge. Later on, things descend into total chaos with a Portugal-themed quiz involving capitals, custard tarts and some wildly confident wrong answers. Sunshine, arguments, emotional moments and complete nonsense… just another day on The Therapy Crouch.

    EP. 363 | Harry Wilson: "Everything Silva Promised, Happened." Fulham On FIRE & Wales World Cup Hope

    On this week’s episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, the lads are joined by Fulham’s in-form winger and Welsh international Harry Wilson — and there are some unbelievable stories behind his rise. Harry opens up about the incredible moment his grandad placed a £50 bet on him to play for Wales when he was just 18 months old — a punt that eventually paid out £125,000 when Harry made his debut years later. It’s a story so good it genuinely sounds like a film. The conversation also dives into Harry’s journey through Liverpool’s academy, signing his first contract at just nine years old, and learning from elite players like James Milner, Adam Lallana, Mohamed Salah, and Roberto Firmino in Jurgen Klopp’s first-team training sessions. Harry explains the reality of the loan system in football, including the tough spell that nearly derailed his career before a confidence rebuild back at Liverpool helped turn things around. There are also brilliant insights into the Wales national team, including what it was like playing alongside Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey, the electric atmosphere of the Welsh anthem, how Craig Bellamy’s strict standards are shaping the new generation, and Harry reveals his personal favourite goal ever — a stunning free kick at Old Trafford for Derby County. On top of that, there are of course some classic Crouch pod shenanigans, such as Sid’s surreal story about drinking Bollinger with Brazilian Ronaldo on a ski trip, debating the correct size of shin pads, and Crouchy settles the confusion around a recently surfaced video of him and Messi’s 1v1 in Croydon… Chumbawamba 00:00 - Subscribe song & Intro 01:21 - The “wrong glass for drinks” debate 03:30 - Sid’s ski trip and meeting Brazilian Ronaldo 06:20 - Asking Ronaldo what phone network he’s on 08:45 - Ski trip stories continue 10:48 - Harry Wilson joins the podcast 11:30 - Harry’s incredible season at Fulham 12:50 - Palace or Spurs goal – his favourite this season 13:45 - Listening to the podcast & life with a newborn 14:40 - Shin pad debate: modern footballers wear tiny ones 18:05 - Signing for Liverpool at just 9 years old 20:10 - Growing up in rural Wales 21:45 - The call from Ian Rush 22:50 - Wales debut at 16 years old 23:50 - The famous £50 bet from his grandad 26:30 - Passion & playing for your country  28:30 - Michael Sheen’s team speech 31:10 - The harsh reality of loan spells in football 33:00 - Injury setbacks and rebuilding confidence 33:50 - Training with Klopp’s Liverpool first team 36:40 - Best player in Liverpool training? 38:20 - England’s chances at the World Cup 40:00 - Craig Bellamy’s strict standards with Wales 42:10 - Bellamy’s dressing room rules 44:40 - What players do on Wales international camps 46:05 - Marco Silva’s impact at Fulham 47:55 - Harry reveals which phone network he uses 49:20 - Favourite goal ever: free kick at Old Trafford 51:00 - Set-piece tactics in modern football 55:00 - Listener questions & football stories 01:03:19 - Harry Wilson leaves the podcast 01:04:20 - Paddy Power’s Cheltenham segment 01:07:00 - Score predictions begin 01:10:30 - Spurs’ struggles discussed 01:16:10 -Crouchy and Messi in Croydon? 01:17:00 - Outro For more Peter Crouch:  Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouch  Therapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouch  For more Chris Stark  Twitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_Stark Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/ For more Steve Sidwell  Twitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwell  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14  #PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.
