On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back for another Ask Me Anything, still separated by thousands of miles with Peter in LA covering the World Cup and Abbey holding the fort in Portugal.

The pair catch up on just how much they're missing each other, reveal when they'll finally be reunited, and answer the question everyone keeps asking about whether Portugal is now officially home.

Abbey also shares the latest update on her rescue kittens, including her slightly unconventional attempt at communicating with their mum by learning "cat language"… much to Peter's amusement. Meanwhile, Peter recounts one of the most ridiculous American food challenges he's ever seen, involving a giant sandwich, a professional eater and a technique that genuinely turns his stomach.

Elsewhere, the pair offer advice to one listener struggling to make friends in their twenties, discuss whether friendships naturally become easier later in life, and explain why men and women approach making plans so differently.

There's also a hilarious relationship dilemma after one listener's romantic fantasy exercise ends with perhaps the least romantic response imaginable, before the episode descends into complete chaos with one of the funniest drunken confessions ever sent into the podcast.

From mystery poos around the house to Peter revealing one of his mate's all-time worst drunken moments, it's a finale you'll never forget.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Peter and Abbey are back together from opposite sides of the world, with Pete still in Los Angeles covering the Club World Cup while Abbey holds down the fort in Portugal... and it's fair to say long distance is still bringing plenty of chaos.

The pair kick things off by catching up after time apart, with Peter showing off his questionable LA haircut before the conversation quickly spirals into expensive celebrity barbers, World Cup stories and Abbey receiving an unexpected history lesson on Maradona's infamous "Hand of God".

Elsewhere, Abbey opens up about a brand new parenting challenge as the couple navigate life with a 15-year-old daughter and the reality of teenage boys beginning to appear on the scene. They also tackle one listener's noisy partner, another whose role play was completely derailed by an overly committed builder delivering a full loft conversion quote, and revisit the legendary "lingerie crab" story after the couple write back with a surprising update... and some very happy news.

There's also a fiery renovation debate as Peter discovers more surprise bills arriving for their new house, admits his only contribution has been choosing the boilers, and accuses Abbey of going "knob shopping" without him.

Plus, Peter reflects honestly on life after professional football, why he rarely plays anymore despite still loving the game, whether they've already "peaked" in life, and why finding new passions has become more important than ever.

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Peter and Abbey are back for another Ask Me Anything, still navigating long distance with Pete in LA and Abbey in Portugal, and the chaos starts almost immediately...

The pair kick things off with a debate about breaking news alerts, why the news is always so depressing, and whether the world desperately needs a "good news" channel instead. They then dive into a listener dilemma about moving out to the countryside, discussing teenage independence, parenting guilt and why neither of them would let their own kids walk anywhere alone these days.

Elsewhere, Peter and Abbey take a nostalgic trip back through their favourite childhood games, with Peter somehow admitting he left Abbey lying injured during a family game because he had to get back to the tree first!
There's also a hilarious discussion about celebrity hall passes after one listener accidentally named Abbey as his, before Peter and Abbey reveal their own celebrity crushes and debate whether hall passes should even exist in a marriage.

The couple also revisit one of their most infamous relationship rows involving wild boar sausages, pregnancy cravings and the "World's Best Prawn Sandwich", while another listener's dishwasher loading complaint sparks a surprisingly passionate debate about household chores and who actually knows the "correct" way to do them.

Plus, Peter becomes obsessed with the idea of growing vegetables like David Beckham, the pair dream about making homemade soups and chimichurri from their future garden, and one listener's romantic evening is completely derailed by... a sourdough timer.

There's also a heartfelt moment as Peter and Abbey send their love to listener Mark during his chemotherapy treatment, before ending the episode with a genuinely touching long-distance goodbye that reminds everyone just how much they miss being together.
