Hall Passes, Pregnancy Rows & Why Peter Threw Sausages Out The Window

About this episode

<p>On today's episode of <strong>The Therapy Crouch</strong>, Peter and Abbey are back for another <strong>Ask Me Anything</strong>, still navigating long distance with Pete in LA and Abbey in Portugal, and the chaos starts almost immediately...</p><br><p>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.</p><br><p>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 <em>had</em> to get back to the tree first!</p><p>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.</p><br><p>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.</p><br><p>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.</p><br><p>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.</p><br><p>If you want to submit an Agony Ab or Ask Me Anything question to the podcast, hit the link below:</p><br><p><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKD" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKD</a>...</p><br><p>00:00 -
