Peter and Abbey Talk Long Distance Delusions, Comfort Knickers and The Return of Shabba!

On today’s episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter are back for another Ask Me Anything from Portugal and there is absolutely no shortage of chaos! The pair kick things off by diving into the realities of being reunited after time apart, with Abbey admitting Peter has completely ruined the routine she’d finally managed to get in place while solo parenting. There’s also a fresh long-distance confession from producer Gaz, who reveals he took his girlfriend’s pants to LA for “comfort” only for them to be neatly folded by the housekeeper and left on full display in his room… Elsewhere, Abbey and Peter discuss one listener’s boyfriend who insists on calling a Leeds-to-Manchester relationship “long distance”, whether ugly animals are actually the cutest pets of all, and why Abbey can’t stop rescuing tiny kittens in Portugal. There’s also a truly bizarre internet confession involving a sex act, a shout of “Shabba!” and an Alexa request for Mr Bombastic that completely derails the pod. Plus, Abbey opens up about her Scouse identity, whether she’s become “too posh” for Liverpool, and the strange experience of sounding too Scouse in London but not Scouse enough back home!
