Speaker 3 (0:00) I'm not a Speaker 2 (0:00) hugely emotional man, obviously X Factor Speaker 1 (0:02) gets me, but I'm pretty stoned. Speaker 3 (0:05) I quite like this softest idea. You've been a heartless ****. Speaker 2 (0:10) Hello Therapy Crush. I was laughing so much on your last podcast about someone finding intimate toys in the bedroom. Speaker 3 (0:16) Oh, listeners are filth. With Speaker 2 (0:18) regards to a family. Speaker 3 (0:19) I bought that like sexy like PVC thing. Speaker 2 (0:22) Those are the days. Games gone now. Speaker 3 (0:27) Hello and welcome to The Therapy Crouch with me, Abby Clancy. Speaker 2 (0:30) Me, Peter Crouch. Me, Speaker 1 (0:32) Gaz. How are you guys? Speaker 3 (0:34) Welcome Speaker 2 (0:34) home. Speaker 3 (0:34) We're exhausted from the wedding of the century. Speaker 1 (0:37) Oh my God, I've heard all about it. Speaker 3 (0:39) Gaz, honestly, I have never ever been to a more incredible wedding in my entire life. Really? From start to finish. Every single day. From little details to the people, the weather. You know, just the mood. You know, it was just magnificent, wasn't it? I'd like to echo that Speaker 2 (1:02) sentiment. I genuinely think, like, you say that, you know, this was a beautiful wedding, this and that. This is the best wedding I've ever been to. Yeah. I'm including mine in Speaker 3 (1:10) that. Speaker 2 (1:10) Even better than ours. Little bitch. It was weather, setting, people, drinks. Food, drink, Speaker 3 (1:20) company. Music, Speaker 2 (1:21) entertainment. Speaker 2 (1:26) Family. Everything was Speaker 1 (1:27) spot on. It was Speaker 3 (1:28) perfect. It was absolutely perfect. The little Speaker 1 (1:31) bits I saw online, it looked another level. Speaker 3 (1:33) I didn't take one photograph on everyone else's video. On everyone else's videos, I'm filming everything. But they're not on my camera. Speaker 1 (1:42) They're not Speaker 3 (1:42) on Pete's camera. They're not on Sophia's. So someone... In that wedding, I've got all my pictures. Great footage. Speaker 2 (1:48) Well, I'm hoping it was professionally filmed. There was. They had Speaker 3 (1:53) Drake's photographer. Speaker 2 (1:54) Well, there you go then. There you go. On some stage, I think there will be some lovely photos that emerge. But it was absolutely sensational. What a great group of people as well, you know. The Irish contingent and the Scouse contingent merged. Speaker 1 (2:10) Two clans there, two epic clans. And I think, you know, Speaker 2 (2:12) a lot of fun on both sides. I was saying to Scott and Elle, like, how many weddings can you go to, right, where I think I could have sat on every single table... And Speaker 3 (2:21) had the best Speaker 2 (2:22) time of your Speaker 1 (2:22) life. Speaker 2 (2:22) And had almost the same fun as the one I was on. That's Speaker 1 (2:25) amazing, yeah, well put. And Speaker 2 (2:27) I'm raging from, like, you know, I sat down with some of the older people at the wedding. I had just as much fun with them as I did with, you know, some of the younger ones. So Speaker 3 (2:37) whether you're with... The older Lucinda, who every night, she was so glam. It was Catherine Scott's mum's friend. And she was so glam. The bleach blonde hair, all set. You Speaker 1 (2:48) know, Speaker 3 (2:48) you could tell she's been an absolute stunner. And every guy's show, she's like, oh. who are you? You're fucking gorgeous. I'd love to jump your bones. But I can't. She was just... Speaker 1 (3:01) Sounds like Sean Connery. Oh my Speaker 3 (3:02) God, she was a mate. No, she's from Dublin. Is Speaker 1 (3:04) she Dublin? That's my Speaker 3 (3:05) Dublin accent. But it was every single person we met. And obviously I know most of them, like the gang of friends. Yeah. But to meet the wider family, it was just out of this world. My sister just looked... Incredible, didn't she? She Speaker 2 (3:24) really did, yeah. She really did. Speaker 3 (3:25) I sobbed. Like, Sophia and I walked down the aisle together as maid of honour and she's a bridesmaid. By the time I got to the altar, I had no make-up left on. Really? Because I just cried it off. Like, there wasn't a dry eye in the place. No, but, Speaker 2 (3:43) like, you know, I'm not a hugely emotional man. Obviously, X Factor gets me, but I'm an X Factor. I'm pretty stoned. Stonewall, yeah. You Speaker 1 (3:52) were Speaker 2 (3:52) crying Speaker 3 (3:52) last night watching something in bed as well. Speaker 2 (3:54) Yeah, I did, yeah. What Speaker 3 (3:55) was that? What was Speaker 2 (3:56) that? The Littlest Hobo? No. What was that? That was an awards evening as well, wasn't it? Oh, it was Speaker 1 (4:01) not. Speaker 2 (4:02) Oh, Speaker 1 (4:02) it Speaker 2 (4:02) was the... Royal Variety. Was it the tennis? Speaker 3 (4:05) I was crying at the tennis speech when he was thanking his mum. When Ben Shelton was thanking his... No, when Zverev was thanking his mum. Speaker 2 (4:14) Zverev was saying he was diagnosed at six years old. Four years old. With type... Speaker 3 (4:18) One diabetes. One Speaker 1 (4:20) diabetes. Speaker 2 (4:20) And his mum, the doctors and all, you know, said you'd never play, obviously, sport. Elite. This and that. Speaker 1 (4:27) And Speaker 2 (4:27) he was just saying, you know, how powerful women. Next Speaker 3 (4:34) to me, I was crying anyway, because, you know, I would. I love Zavarev. He's my favourite tennis player. I Speaker 1 (4:40) think I'm Speaker 3 (4:40) softening. You're Speaker 2 (4:41) softening in your old age? Well, anyway, you know, bear in mind, half my performance, my family. you know, that I've created. Yeah. Walking down the aisle as well. So, you know, Elle, our class is, you know, kind of one of my own. You know, I've known her since she was 10 years old. Then Abby walks down with Sophia. Liberty's a flower girl. Johnny and Jack are walking down. You know, it was only Geoffrey, only the dogs that didn't come down. You Speaker 3 (5:06) were the only person from our whole family who didn't walk down the Speaker 2 (5:08) aisle. Speaker 3 (5:08) Yeah, but I was a Speaker 2 (5:08) groomsman up the other side. Yeah, that's true. So I was involved. Everyone was involved, yeah. Yeah, we were heavily involved. But, you know, very much, it was a fantastic wedding. Speaker 1 (5:21) Well, listen, I've got a million questions for you guys for the body of this episode. But to kick us off, do you have any wines for each other? Or any shines, maybe? Speaker 1 (5:29) I think wine-wise, obviously... Speaker 3 (5:31) I've Speaker 1 (5:31) got Speaker 3 (5:31) a weekly wine for you. I'm sure I've Speaker 2 (5:34) started it. Speaker 3 (5:35) I'm pretty sure Speaker 2 (5:36) I've started that one. Speaker 3 (5:37) It's this stitch-up, because, you know, we joked about me singing with Lewis Capaldi. Shallow. So, obviously, there's this thing now with... It's so embarrassing that people everywhere we go, especially with this group, because, you know, the Irish, they all have the Irish songs on. They're all singing. The most incredible singer, Aaron, is actually on tour with Ed Sheeran at the moment. Oh, nice. Aaron Rowe. Speaker 1 (6:03) Oh, my God. Speaker 3 (6:04) If you haven't checked him out, check him out. He is phenomenal. But anyway, so I think everyone thinks I think I'm an amazing singer. I want to sing this, Shallow. So, like, everyone's having a rave in the disco. The lights are flashing. The DJs are on. Amazing, like, dancey music. And then I hear... And then Shallow comes on. Lewis grabs the mic. And then I, like, have a heart attack, try and run away. And then, you know, have to do it. But, you Speaker 1 (6:36) know, Speaker 3 (6:36) it's getting to the point now where it's not even funny. It's like, everyone's like, oh, God, not again, Abby. And it's so embarrassing, but you make me do it all the time. Speaker 2 (6:45) Well, yes, because I'm very proud of you, see? So, like, that's not what I don't understand is obviously you get all embarrassed, right? But I'm like, fucking grow up, you know what I mean? If you've got a gift, like, imagine Sophia or, you know, Liberty, and they were like, oh, I'm too shy, I don't want to do it. You go grow up, you've got to grow a pair, you've got a fucking great voice, let's go and sing it. If I had your voice, I would be, I'd be everywhere. Because I would just be up, get a load of this. So Lewis Speaker 3 (7:14) and I started, Lewis started it, I joined in, but we were so pissed, we missed our cue, you know, we were out of time, offbeat. But it was done. Anyways, so, you know, it was my little claim to fame there. Speaker 2 (7:27) It was a long wedding, you know, and this is probably day two of a big, big, you know, I'm slightly husky myself, as you can hear. If I was a singer, I might struggle. you know with a voice like this I think you know everyone was feeling that way yeah everyone was pissed did you sing did you sing anything no I didn't sing well I sang a lot but just not with the microphone not Speaker 3 (7:49) on the mic Speaker 1 (7:49) yeah our daughter Speaker 3 (7:50) Liberty sang okay Speaker 1 (7:52) do you want to get into this she sang Speaker 3 (7:54) the first dance but I remember it was so funny because as we were walking into the room Scott was trying to announce, you know, Liv was going to sing. I grabbed the mic and went, and he went, well, you fuck off with that song. I was like, I'm only joking. And then Jack was crying on their first dance because Jack, our son, wanted to do the worm to their first dance. And I was like, Scott was like, no, he's not doing the worm on the first dance. But Liberty sang and again. Everyone was just hysterical, crying. She sang Sienna Spyro, Down the Hill. And I thought it was a really, really lovely touch from Ellie and Scott because that wasn't their first dance song, but they did that for Lib because Lib was like, I'd love to sing for you. That's Speaker 1 (8:45) phenomenal. Yeah, that was a lovely gesture. Speaker 2 (8:47) It was just Speaker 3 (8:47) everywhere you looked and every hour, there was another special personal touch. And to be in a room where... you know, especially Scott's mom, Catherine, everyone, you know, recognized all the lads from, from when they were very young for being, you know, the most incredible person and always looking out for them. And it was just, it was so special to be in, in the room. Wasn't it with the mob? Speaker 2 (9:18) I feel like crying Speaker 3 (9:19) already. It's Speaker 1 (9:21) a Speaker 2 (9:21) really close-knit group. And, you know, I think all the lads were like, oh, you know, we might have overstepped the mark, stayed round, been out too late, this and that. And they Speaker 3 (9:30) all love my sister. My Speaker 2 (9:31) mum was always kind of there, looking after them, making sure they were right. And I think they were all, as a group, recognising the fact. the role that she's played in them becoming the men that they've become. It was very emotional. Speaker 3 (9:46) Are you going to cry? No, I'm all right. I'm all right. Speaker 2 (9:49) Are you all right now? It's my stony self. Speaker 1 (9:52) I feel Speaker 3 (9:53) like this stuff decided. You've been a heartless bastard for fucking 20 years. Certainly the last year you've started. It Speaker 2 (10:01) was softening up a bit. Speaker 1 (10:03) That sounds epic. We'll get into it in more detail. But do you want to start us off with some audience wines? Speaker 2 (10:08) Alrighty. I've got Liz from Leeds. Lizzie Leeds. I have been gazloved upon. I need a ruling and I need it fast because the invitations go out next week. My fiance wants a child-free wedding. Sorry, Speaker 3 (10:23) I've read this earlier, so this brings me up to my weekly wine, which I'm going to direct straight at my sister afterwards when you're in it. Go on. My Speaker 2 (10:31) fiance was a child free wedding, which I'm fine with in principle, until I found out that the one exception he's making is for his sister's kids because they're different. Different. They're not different. They're the same feral children who destroyed my mum's conservatory last Christmas. So now I'm the one who has to tell 40 other guests they can't bring their own children while three specific toddlers get the golden ticket. How do I hold a line that my own fiancé has already kneecapped? See, Speaker 3 (11:02) this is an issue. I'm going to direct this to my sister, Elle, if she's listening. Speaker 2 (11:07) She did this the wrong way, the other way. Yeah, she invited us. She Speaker 3 (11:11) invited us because they were an integral part of the wedding. So my other brother, Sean, his son, Caleb, was there. And of course, Caleb's 11, same age as Lib. So Caleb wanted to be with our kids. And then my other cousin's daughter, Sienna, was there, who's also the same age as Lib. Not only did we have four children, we had six. Speaker 2 (11:33) They all stayed in our room. So we had six children in our room. Jesus. And Speaker 3 (11:39) no one else had any. My mum was there, my dad was there, everyone was lying in bed till 10 o'clock and John had made us, oh no, we're having a nice quiet one on
