Peter Gets DESTROYED By Pensioners! Abbey Exposes His Portugal Tennis Disaster
About this episode
<p>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.</p><br><p>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”.</p><br><p>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.</p><br><p>00:00 Portugal Detox & Party Recovery</p><p> 01:14 Peter Gets Humbled At Tennis</p><p> 03:00 “Consistency Is Key In Tennis”</p><p> 04:31 Ross Update & Listener Messages</p><p> 04:58 Abbey Hates Seeing Pete Lose</p><p> 05:26 Abbey’s Fear Of Tennis Lessons</p><p> 06:27 Abbey Opens Up About Childhood & Sport</p><p> 07:20 Abbey vs Peter: Ultimate Sports Day</p><p> 08:31 The Couple Argument Everyone Has</p><p> 10:11 Abbey’s Strict Family Diary System</p><p> 12:03 Why Busy Couples Always Clash</p><p> 12:49 The Weirdest Relationship Ick</p><p> 13:28 Running Up Stairs Debate</p><p> 15:14 Abbey Reveals Her Biggest Insecurity</p><p> 15:45 Abbey Discovers A “Normal” Listener</p><p> 16:26 Abbey’s Celebrity Lookalike Debate</p><p> 18:05 Couples Sharing Hobbies Goes Wrong</p><p> 19:14 TV Shows They Refuse To Watch Together</p><p> 20:37 Hunger Games & Comfort Movies</p><p> 21:39 The Best Holiday Advice Ever</p><p> 22:52 Tail’s.com Ad Read</p><p> 24:28 Desert Island Dilemmas Begin</p><p> 25:35 The One Book They’d Save Forever</p><p> 27:31 Roald Dahl & Childhood Reading Memories</p><p> 28:07 Abbey’s Disturbing Book Confession</p><p> 30:15 The Secret To Getting Kids Reading</p><p> 30:55 Desert Island Albums</p><p> 31:41 Oasis, Nostalgia & Dad Rock Arguments</p><p> 34:04 Abbey’s Beckham Garden Obsession</p><p> 35:34 Doomscrolling & “Ignorance Is Bliss”</p><p> 36:19 Peter’s James Bond Fantasy Life</p><p> 36:40 Peter’s Visit To Eton</p><p> 37:49 Inside Eton’s Incredible Traditions</p><p> 39:15 What Makes Privileged Kids Different?</p><p> 41:02 The Reality Of Elite Schools</p><p> 42:40 The Team Debate Luxury & Success</p><p> 44:18 What They’d Actually Miss On A Desert Island</p><p> 46:03 Desert Island Guilty Pleasures</p><p> 47:51 Holiday Packing Essentials</p><p> 49:20 Things Couples Secretly Judge Each Other For</p><p> 51:08 Their Most Addictive Habits</p><p> 52:44 Listener Dilemmas Return</p><p> 54:33 Final Portugal Reflections</p><p> 56:17 End</p><br><p>To contact us:</p><p>Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com</p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/</a></p><p>TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch</p><p>Website: <a href="https://thetherapycrouch.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://thetherapycrouch.com/</a></p><br><p>For more from Peter</p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/petercrouch" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/petercrouch</a></p><br><p>For more from Abbey</p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancy</a></p><br><p>Our clips channel</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
