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.If you want to submit an Agony Ab or Ask Me Anything question to the podcast, hit the link below:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKD...00:00 - Intro01:00 - Peter explains why every footballer ends up with the same World Cup haircut02:25 - Expensive LA barbers03:15 - World Cup excitement and talking about Kane's goal04:05 - Peter tells Abbey the full story of Maradona's infamous "Hand of God"06:55 - Parenting worries begin as Abbey opens up08:00 - The realities of teenage girls and navigating dating as parents10:05 - World Cup moments and England excitement11:00 - Peter's Weekly Whine: surprise renovation bills keep arriving from home12:20 - Boilers, driveway lights and why Peter feels left out of designing the house13:25 - Knob shopping15:10 - Peter reveals the only part of the new house he actually wants control over16:25 - Listener update: the famous "lingerie crab" mystery finally gets solved18:15 - Engagement news after one of the podcast's strangest ever listener dilemmas19:20 - Peter wearing women's clothes and the conversation gets ridiculous20:00 - Abbey's Love Island lookalike and Gaz's invitation to a Fourth of July LA pool party22:00 - Agony Ab: what do you do when your boyfriend is a bedroom screamer?24:45 - Long distance life and why this week's episode became a catch-up instead26:10 - Former athlete struggles: does Peter still miss playing professional football?28:00 - Peter admits football frustrates him now and explains why he rarely plays29:00 - Finding new passions through golf and life after football30:00 - Have Peter and Abbey already "peaked" in life?

Fans have been gathering across the US, Canada and Mexico, as well as the world's TV screens, to watch the 2026 men's football World Cup kick off. However, experts have been increasingly worried about the effect of summer heat and humidity on the competing players. High levels of both have been predicted for a number of the tournament venues.球迷们聚集在美国、加拿大和墨西哥以及世界各地的电视屏幕上，观看 2026 年男足世界杯的开赛。 然而，专家们越来越担心夏季炎热和潮湿对参赛选手的影响。 预计许多比赛场馆的这两项指标都将达到高水平。Previous competitions held in similar conditions have caused difficulties for players and officials. Assistant referee Humberto Panjoj collapsed during a Copa America game in Kansas City in 2024. In a game in Miami in the same competition, Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo was substituted, complaining of dehydration and dizziness. Players also complained about conditions at the 2025 Club World Cup in the US. Both these competitions were played in cities that feature in the 2026 World Cup. Sports Medicine Australia warns of the dangers of heat exhaustion, heatstroke and dehydration from exercising in hot and humid conditions.此前在类似条件下举行的比赛给球员和官员造成了困难。 助理裁判温贝托·潘乔伊 (Humberto Panjoj) 在 2024 年堪萨斯城举行的美洲杯比赛中晕倒。在迈阿密举行的同一场比赛中，乌拉圭后卫罗纳德·阿劳霍 (Ronald Araujo) 因脱水和头晕而被替换下场。 球员们还抱怨 2025 年美国世俱杯的条件。 这两项比赛均在 2026 年世界杯举办城市举行。 澳大利亚运动医学警告说，在炎热和潮湿的环境下运动可能会导致中暑、中暑和脱水的危险。Experts suggest that the key measure to assess risk from heat and humidity is the wet bulb globe temperature. When we sweat, it usually evaporates, cooling us down. Humid conditions make this process less effective. Wet bulb globe temperature is the minimum temperature achieved after water has evaporated. Many experts suggest that heat can be a problem for athletes if the wet bulb globe temperature is above 28C.专家建议，评估湿热风险的关键指标是湿球温度。 当我们出汗时，它通常会蒸发，使我们降温。 潮湿的条件使这个过程的效率降低。 湿球温度是水蒸发后达到的最低温度。 许多专家建议，如果湿球温度高于 28°C，热量可能会给运动员带来问题。14 out of 16 of the World Cup venues have been forecast to have wet bulb globe temperatures above this level during normal summer afternoons. For this reason, many games have been moved to evening kick offs, and cooling breaks have been scheduled. Additionally, some stadiums have roofs and air-conditioning. However, concerns remain around evening games in Miami and Kansas City, which had been predicted to be hot and humid, and the final in New Jersey, which was scheduled for 3pm. Estimates are based on a normal summer. However, the situation would be considerably worse should there be a heatwave.据预测，在 16 个世界杯场馆中，有 14 个场馆的湿球球温度在正常夏季午后将高于这一水平。 因此，许多比赛已移至晚上开球，并安排了休息时间。 此外，一些体育场有屋顶和空调。 然而，人们仍然对迈阿密和堪萨斯城的晚间比赛以及定于下午 3 点在新泽西举行的决赛感到担忧，比赛预计将炎热潮湿。 估算基于正常夏季。 然而，如果出现热浪，情况会更糟。

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2025 on Sunday 19 October at Church House, Westminster. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION ‘I have the feeling that this competition is going to be as important, if not more important, than the Champions League', said Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca, after his team had won the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup. This summer's competition was intended to showcase club football from all continents of the world. But many involved in the game derided the tournament as an unnecessary addition to an already overcrowded football calendar. Saudi Arabia helped to bankroll the Club World Cup, and is fast developing into a powerhouse for club and international football. The country will host the 2034 World Cup and is planning to build 11 new futuristic stadiums. Saudi club sides are competing with top European teams to sign world-class players such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Sadio Mane. The Saudis have even greater financial muscle than the English Premier League or La Liga in Spain. On the world stage, it seems, money talks, while concerns about democracy and human rights are muted. In the UK, the fate of football clubs, big and small, is rightly considered to be of enormous importance to local communities. The response from Westminster has been the passing of the Football Governance Act into law. The Act means a government-appointed regulator will be in place to check on the health of clubs and monitor negotiations within the English football ‘pyramid'. Currently Morecambe FC and Sheffield Wednesday are on the brink due to recalcitrant owners, and many people say that the football regulator cannot come soon enough. But would such a regulator be able to save these clubs anyway? Another big change has been the rise of women's football. The Lionesses' victory in the Women's Euros 2025 will provide a big boost to the women's game in England – but it is also noticeable that the women's game is growing in both quality and audience figures. Are we entering a new age of football? Is football now conquering the globe? Or has the beautiful game finally become disconnected from its fans and roots with ever-more fanciful tournaments taking place in soulless arenas to satisfy a multi-billion-pound industry?

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode features the article “Testing Ground” featured in Tennessee Turfgrass magazine. UT turfgrass researchers have invented a device to test the playability of football fields, soccer pitches, and other surfaces—with the goal of keeping athletes safe. In 2018, the NFL scheduled a game for a neutral site in Mexico. Though the field had passed mandatory tests like surface hardness, the league's players association had concerns about the safety of the field. So they turned to Distinguished Professor of Turfgrass Science and Management John Sorochan to represent their interests. Sorochan advised that there were too many inconsistencies in the field and that the lack of rooting was a serious issue. He argued that an inconsistent and unstable surface is an unsafe surface. And his advocacy helped get the game moved to a safer field. For Sorochan, the experience revealed the need across multiple sports for a better way to test the playability and compliance of natural grass surfaces. Together, he and Kyley Dickson (BS '12, MS '14, PhD '17), researcher and co-director of UT's Center for Athletic Field Safety, invented a solution that has surpassed its original goal: the fLEX Device. This portable machine realistically simulates the motion of an athlete's foot striking the ground, using a 3D-printed foot outfitted with a real cleat. “There were machines out there to test artificial turf—years before, Dr. Sorochan helped AstroTurf develop one,” Dickson says. “But nothing was specific to natural grass. “We also wanted to go beyond the static vertical load, rotational, and slide tests that existing tools used,” he continues. “We put sensors around the 3D-printed foot and ankle to measure energy that would be transferred back to the athlete. This makes fLEX unique.” Development of the fLex Device reflects the driving force behind sports turf research at UT: the human impact of athlete–surface interactions. “Our tool to measure what athletes would feel on natural grass has turned out to be equally applicable for synthetic turf, running tracks, even basketball courts—all surfaces but ice for hockey—to understand the effects on athletes,” Sorochan says. A Team Effort Producing the fLEX Device was interdisciplinary from the start. Sorochan and Dickson hired metal workers to build their device, mechanical engineers to run calculations, and a recent UT computer science graduate to develop software to collect and interpret sensor data. UT kinesiology and biomechanics experts scientifically validated the device. “At the biomechanics lab, fLEX struck the force plate like a human athlete would,” Sorochan says. “We learned how to calibrate it to simulate foot strikes for different-sized athletes, from a 350-pound NFL athlete down to a 35-pound kid playing soccer at school.” They partnered with UT Athletics for real-world testing. After football games at Neyland Stadium, researchers would collect data from more than 70 spots across the field to form a comprehensive picture of its condition. “Neyland is probably the most tested stadium anywhere,” Sorochan laughs. And when the Lady Vols soccer team needed to change cleats, the fLEX Device informed that decision by measuring the load different shoes put on players' bodies. “Being a Vol means being part of a team,” Sorochan says. “So many Vols have helped us develop and test fLEX.” From Concept to Commercialization Early prototypes involved manually ratcheting and releasing gears. When Sorochan and Dickson collected feedback from field managers and student researchers who used the device, everyone agreed: there were too many components and too many data points. “To make a real-world impact,” Sorochan says, “it had to be simpler for field managers and other turf professionals to use, understand, and benefit from our device. We also needed to scale up in terms of production and audience. UT and UT Research Foundation played important roles in accomplishing that and commercializing our invention.” In 2024, Sorochan and Dickson received the inaugural Chancellor's Innovation Fund award. They focused those funds on automating the device and streamlining the user experience. UT Research Foundation helped them patent their technology, connect with business advisors, and put their product on the market. Today, users set and release the gears with the touch of a button. The screen displays three key data points: surface traction, surface hardness, and amount of energy returned to the athlete. The software automatically generates a report complete with summary, graphs, and a heat map highlighting inconsistencies across the field. International Impact The fLEX Device's credibility has grown with every sporting venue the team has tested over the last five years—130-plus stadiums connected to the NFL, MLB, and other professional and college leagues in five countries. FIFA, soccer's international governing body, has seen the value of the fLEX Device firsthand during a five-year research collaboration with UT. Billions of FIFA World Cup 26 viewers will soon watch top athletes play on natural grass pitches developed by Sorochan's research team. Several of the host stadiums for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 used a first-of-its-kind “shallow profile” pitch. “It was a ‘wow' moment when fLEX first demonstrated that the shallow construction method we were experimenting with performed the same as a standard pitch, which has 12 inches of sand underneath,” Sorochan says. “This shallow profile could enable host stadiums that typically use synthetic turf to quickly and cost effectively install safe natural grass pitches for the World Cup tournaments.” At FIFA's request, Sorochan's team used the fLEX Device to gather field data before and after each Club World Cup game in summer 2025. They'll likely use fLEX in the same way during FIFA World Cup 26: to inform real-time field management decisions that protect players and ensure uniform conditions across all 16 host stadiums. “FIFA has incredibly high standards for these pitches,” Sorochan says. “fLEX is the right tool to make sure their expectations for consistency, safety, and performance are met.” In May 2025, global pitch management solutions company SGL purchased the fLEX Device product rights. “SGL is an industry leader expanding its portfolio of resources and tools for improving sports fields,” Sorochan says. “They invest in quality and R&D. fLEX was a great fit.” “fLEX represents the very best of UT—ideas that are generated and implemented locally and go on to change the world,” says Deb Crawford, vice chancellor for research, innovation, and economic development. “By leveraging the Chancellor's Innovation Fund and partnering with private industry, Dr. Sorochan and his colleagues have expanded their impact, ensuring that UT innovations continue to have a profound impact worldwide.” Dickson is directing product development for SGL fLEX Systems. “I'll explore questions to make it even more user friendly, like Could it be robotic? Could we put an electric motor drive on it? Are we getting the right data for different sports?” “This device will make all sports surfaces safer for all levels, from young kids to professional players,” Sorochan sums up. “UT's support made this impact possible. Now, SGL is making it global.” Delve into UT's research to create the best and most consistent pitches for FIFA World Cup 26. You have been listening to The Turf Zone Podcast.

Welcome to The Turf Zone podcast. This episode covers how The University of Tennessee’s research as part of the FIFA 2026 World Cup is already scoring benefits on the world stage. When FIFA selected the University of Tennessee to oversee research for building and maintaining the FIFA WORLD CUP 26 pitches, it promised to focus worldwide attention on the university's turfgrass science and management program. With the opening games just weeks away, UT's collaboration with the Fédération Internationale de Football Association has already brought new recognition to the acclaimed turfgrass program. The research—led by John Sorochan, who is the Distinguished Professor of Turfgrass Science and Management in the UT Department of Plant Sciences—is also yielding information that will result in improved parks, recreation fields and sports turfs at schools and universities. “It's been an incredibly important initiative,” says Keith Carver, UT Institute of Agriculture senior vice chancellor and senior vice president. “It takes the work of our faculty and researchers to audiences all over the world. But, in an equally important manner, our work with FIFA has ushered in new advances to turfgrass that have improved golf courses, yards and gardens all over the Volunteer State. The impact of this research reaches far and wide.” In 2021, FIFA initiated a five-year project with UT and Michigan State University for help in producing optimum playing surfaces for the 16 stadiums and nearly 150 practice fields for FIFA WORLD CUP 26. Forty-eight national teams will play at venues in Canada, Mexico and the U.S., spanning four time zones and multiple climatic regions. Since then, UT researchers have been growing test plots of grass, experimenting with ways of installing grass over different surfaces in varying conditions and testing surfaces for the best playing and safety conditions. FIFA funded the construction of climate-controlled test fields at the Plant Sciences Unit of the UT East Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center in Knoxville. Alan Ferguson, FIFA senior pitch management manager, says the university's research was used in the inaugural Club World Cup, an international competition organized by FIFA, held last summer at a dozen stadiums across the U.S. “The UT turf team is well known around the world for high-quality research,” Ferguson says. “With so many key technologies already under research at UT, it made sense for FIFA to partner and extend this research.” The UT turfgrass science and management program is expanding in other ways, as well. UT is establishing certificate programs for pitch managers, golf course superintendents and those who oversee other sports venues. The UT Herbert College of Agriculture is working to launch one or more certificate programs for turfgrass science, including specializations for sports turf. The program is intended to have a state, national and global audience and will be open to current college students. UT Extension currently offers the non-credit, online Certified Lawn Care Professional Program on general turfgrass management. The program is tailored for working professionals who want to deepen their knowledge of regional turfgrass management and who do not need or intend to use the training for a college certificate or degree program. Participants in this program do not have to submit homework or take quizzes and exams, or develop other types of work typically associated with college programs. Participants who finish the program receive a certificate of completion from UT Extension, though no college credit or transcripts are earned. UT also is investing in additional turf research fields, which Sorochan says could be used to test specific technologies like heating systems, vacuum ventilation and subsurface irrigation. Learn more about these efforts, the benefits they are bringing to athletic playing surfaces throughout Tennessee, and the first-class opportunities they are bringing to turfgrass science and management students in an article in UTIA's Land, Life and Science magazine.

This season's Champions League Round of 16 featured a record-breaking 68 goals across Europe--much to the demise of English sides. Reigning UCL holders PSG faced off against reigning Conference League and Club World Cup winners Chelsea in a rematch from last summer's Club World Cup Final in the U.S. Real Madrid faced off against Manchester City in the knockout rounds for the 5th season in a row in what has become the modern-day UCL Classico. Bodo/Glimt and Sporting, a tie overlooked going into the Round of 16, witnessed one of the greatest UCL comebacks in history, though with abysmal commentary from Martin Tyler. Arsenal vs Leverkusen transpired more or less as expected, as did Liverpool vs Galatasaray. Bayern decimated Atalanta in a strong statement across two legs, where they scored double-digit goals on aggregate. Newcastle kept it close with Barcelona for three halves before collapsing in the 2nd half of the 2nd leg on the road. And Atletico Madrid embarrassed Spurs at the very ground where they lost the 2018/19 Final to Liverpool, though they earned a consolation in the second leg. It's the end of the round for Italian sides this season, while Spanish sides cruised to the Quarterfinals at the expense of most English clubs.  Timestamps: 02:49-18:55 PSG vs Chelsea 18:56-31:06 Real Madrid vs Man City 31:07-42:54 Bodo/Glimt vs Sporting 42:55-50:20 Leverkusen vs Arsenal 50:21-01:04:55 Atalanta vs Bayern 01:04:56-01:13:55 Newcastle vs Barcelona 01:13:56-01:28:19 Atletico Madrid vs Tottenham 01:28:20-01:32:47 Galatasaray vs Liverpool 01:32:48-01:36:40 Round of 16 Recap & Takeaways 01:36:41-01:39:40 UCL Quarterfinals Preview

Chelsea stumbled past Wrexham 4-2 in an FA Cup display that was far more uncomfortable than the scoreline suggests, with a heavily rotated side looking disjointed, leaky at the back, and nowhere near the clinical edge of the Villa performance. Four goals should mean smiles. It does not.Simon is back solo and in full rant mode, tearing into a defensive performance that had no business being that sloppy against Championship opposition. Tosin and Benoit Badiashile were the particular targets of Simon's fury — two players who had every opportunity to make a case for selection and instead raised serious questions about the depth of this squad when the first team is rested.The silver lining? Port Vale await in the next round, and with a kind draw presenting Chelsea with arguably their best route to silverware this season, Simon asks whether this squad has the focus and consistency to take that opportunity seriously. A trophy is there for the taking — if Chelsea can be bothered to show up properly.But the FA Cup conversation quickly takes a backseat to the biggest game on the horizon — Chelsea vs PSG in the Champions League. Simon previews what promises to be an electric European night and asks the question every Blue is thinking: can Chelsea channel the spirit of the Club World Cup final and deliver a performance to remember against the French giants?

How do you react when your team wins… but still leaves you annoyed? Chelsea are through after a chaotic 4–2 win at Wrexham, but this was anything but comfortable. Chris and Joe get into a flat, disjointed performance, why the lineup and substitutions raised bigger questions, and why this felt like a warning sign despite the result. They talk Josh Acheampong's big moment, the players who are running out of road, and whether Chelsea are risking too much by constantly rotating and accommodating weakness at the back. Then attention turns to PSG: the size of the challenge, the revenge angle after the Club World Cup final, and what Chelsea have to do to stay alive in the tie. All that, plus the morning-after mood shift, Wembley hopes, and why this next week could tell us a lot about where Chelsea really are. Voicenotes on all that and more. _____________________________________ * Support the Show * Write us a 5 star review Follow the show ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Share it with a fellow Chelsea fan _____________________________________ * Meet the Hosts * ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Chris Sheen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joe Kevin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ are lifelong Chelsea fans who've been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.

SEASON 3 EPISODE 145: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:45): Trump self-destructs over the Epstein files: now calls his supporters “weaklings” calls Republicans “stupid” for believing the Epstein story HE sold them, now demands reporters don’t cover it, and demands MAGA stops talking about it. And now - most meaningfully - HE is connecting his Epstein Cover-up to his Russia Collusion Cover-up and continually tying Epstein to "The Steele Dossier." And what was the most grotesque part of the Steele Dossier story? Sexual perversion. Video. Blackmail. Trump is himself tying himself and Epstein to the purported pee tape! And that nauseating link and amazing implications (which he alone is making) are on top of the established reality: Donald Trump is president of the Jeffrey Epstein cover-up.Trump is RUNNING the Jeffrey Epstein cover-up. It’s TRUMP’S Jeffrey Epstein cover-up! President Pervert. President Epstein. President Pee Tape. President Pedophile. President cover-up. "TRUMP’S EPSTEIN COVER-UP" - I want to hear that every day, from a leading Democrat. Every day and SIX TIMES on Sunday. Forever. I’m delighted Trump is destroying himself; I want Democrats to finish the job. I want it to destroy MAGA. I want it to bury them all, under a mountain of their own amoral, uncaring, "bullshit" – the word Trump just used in an enraged screed against his own MAGA "weaklings" whose support he now claims he no longer wants. Is pursuing this Shapiro-Steele story disgusting? Yes. Is it sleazy? Yes. Is it what the Trumpist scum would do? Yes. Is it a terrible way to prevent dictatorship and terror? What? There are RULES here? No, there are no rules. Pick up the damn tire iron. This is democracy-saving gold. Every. Damn. Day. Trump's the one who did this. He's the one who has now linked whatever he's choosing to do in covering up the Epstein story, to whatever there was in the Steele Dossier that would destroy him. He's the one who... crossed the streams.
