On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, Abbey and Peter catch up after what can only be described as one of Abbey's most chaotic nights out to date. What began as a wholesome wreath-making afternoon quickly spiralled into margaritas on empty stomachs, vomiting on the motorway, missed shopping trips and a Christmas wreath riding shotgun in a car full of regret.Peter shares festive family highlights from the Jingle Bell Ball, including kids desperate for screen time, a painfully awkward Ed Sheeran TikTok moment and Abbey discovering Peter modelling a velvet suit… in the women's section. There's diary drama, Christmas planning chaos, Boxing Day cinema arguments and Peter accidentally attending a maths open day instead of seeing the boys.In listener messages, we hear everything from wedding day disasters and unforgettable anniversaries to Elf on the Shelf horror stories that absolutely cross the line. There's dating dilemmas, reflections on getting older, turning 40, and why margaritas simply cannot be trusted.If you've got a Christmas confession, family faux pas or festive nightmare — you know where to send it.00:00 – Intro01:42 – Abbey's “wholesome” wreath-making day02:12 – The wreath day goes wildly off the rails02:44 – Margaritas on an empty stomach: a fatal error03:56 – Duck choking, spitting food, and hysterics04:37 – Alfie vomits on himself driving the M2505:16 – “Wolf of Wall Street” levels of drunkenness06:38 – Abbey can't remember getting home07:21 – Peter reacts to Abbey's wild night out08:18 – Kids stealing the spotlight at Jingle Bell Ball09:03 – Ed Sheeran TikTok embarrassment13:22 – Abbey's Christmas scheduling chaos16:24 – The explosive Avatar Boxing Day argument18:44 – Peter accidentally attends kids' maths open day23:22 – Reflecting on the year and turning 4028:31 – Peter spotted modelling in the women's section31:32 – Wedding disasters and football memories35:48 – “My stick” story37:34 – Elf on the Shelf horror story42:18 – Dating apps, being single at 42 & modern love50:29 – Six-hour coffee date ends brutally52:03 – Christmas stories call-out and wrap-upEmail: thetherapycrouch@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouch Website: https://thetherapycrouch.com/ For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg#TheTherapyCrouch #AbbeyAndPete #RelationshipAdvice #Podcast Hosted on Acast.

Nākamgad tiks pieminēta izcilās Ziemeļlatgales teicējas Margaritas Šakinas (1926-2014) simtgade. Latvijas Kultūras akadēmijas tradicionālās dziedāšanas grupa “Saucējas” plāno izdot albumu ar teicējas dziesmām, tiešraides koncertu plāno Latvijas radio 3 „Klasika”. Taču rosība ap šī gaišā cilvēka piemiņu sākusies jau šī gada nogalē, “Saucējām” sarīkojot sociālajā medijā „Facebook” akciju, kas izaicina folkloras kopas visā Latvijā iedziedāt kādu no Margaritas Šakinas teiktajām dziesmām. Kā arī novembra beigās Latvijas Kultūras akadēmijā sarīkojot Margaritas Šakinas pieminēšanas vakaru. Dziesma “Atiet zosis klaigādamas”, kas skan raidījua ievadā, ir izcilās Ziemeļlatgales teicējas Margaritas Šakinas vizītkarte. Teicēja jau kopš 2014. gada mīt viņā saulē, taču nākamgad atkal tiks pieminēta martā, Margaritas Šakinas simtajā dzimšanas dienā. Sarunu “Saucēju” dibinātāju un ilggadējo vadītāju Ivetu Tāli, „Facebook” akcijas iniciatori un “Saucēju” dziedātāju Kristīni Jansoni, kā arī folkloras kopas “Grodi” līdzdibinātāju un folkloras pētnieci Aīdu Rancāni. Ar Ivetu Tāli sazināmies attālināti. Rīgas un “Saucēju” vadītājas posms viņas dzīvē ir noslēdzies. Iveta dzīvo Jēkabpilī, tagad viņas folkloras kopa ir “Krāce”. Iveta Tāle arī raidījuma veidotāju Anda Buševicu pirms daudziem gadiem pierunāja doties uz Ogri pie Margaritas Šakinas. Toreiz tapa intervija. Margarita Šakina Latvijas folkloras kustības kontekstā īpaša arī tāpēc, ka folkloras vācēji viņas balsī ieklausījušies ilgākā dzīves nogrieznī, gandrīz divdesmit gadu garumā. Latviešu folkloras krātuvē Margaritas Šakinas dziesmas ir folkloristu Zaigas Sneibes un Andreja Krūmiņa kolekcijās. Radio fonotēkā glabājas etnomuzikologu Mārtiņa Boiko un Gitas Lanceres veiktie ieraksti, 90. gados teicēju ierakstīja Māris Jansons. 2006. gadā iznāca kompaktdisks “Caur sirdi debesīs”, kas no jauna teicējas ierakstus padarīja pieejamākus. Šis fakts iedvesmojis, piemēram, vokālo pedagoģi Zani Šmiti, tieši uz Margaritas Šakinas ierakstu bāzes pētīt, kā mainās tautas dziedātājas balss gadu gaitā. Taču ir vēl kāda interesanta tēma, ko no ierakstiem varētu izsecināt – kā mūža garumā mainās dziedātāja izvēlētais repertuārs. Ziemeļlatgales teicējas Margaritas Šakinas simtā jubileja svinama 2026. gada 13. martā. Līdz tam brīdim piedzīvosim Latvijas Radio 3 Klasika 1. studijas koncerta tiešraidi, jubilejas koncertu, kura ieskaņu piedzīvojām jau novembra notikušajā atmiņu vakarā, Jubileja pamudinājusi arī Latviešu folkloras krātuvi pārskatīt un digitalizēt teicējas ierakstus, papildināt tās ar Ivetas Tāles un Margitas Gūtmanes fotogrāfijām. “Saucēju” iedziedātu albumu plānots izdot nākamā gada beigās.

Welcome to the very first episode of Mom's & Margaritas — a raw, relatable, and long overdue series for every woman trying to build a life, a business, and a family… without losing her mind in the process. As an entrepreneur and a mom of five, the number one question I get is: "How do you juggle it all?" And here's the truth… I don't. Life comes in seasons — the ups, the downs, the chaos, the breakthroughs — and today, we're pulling back the curtain on all of it. In this kickoff episode, I sit down with my good friend Amanda Kelly to share: ✨ The dark + the light side of entrepreneurship ✨ What really happens behind the scenes (the stuff Instagram never shows) ✨ How motherhood shapes us as leaders ✨ Why you're not failing — you're just in a season ✨ The moments that almost broke us… and the ones that built us If you've ever felt like you're dropping balls left and right, questioning your path, or wondering how everyone else is "doing it all"… this episode is your reminder that you're not alone — and you're doing better than you think.

Join us in The Lobby Bar as we shake up a festive and warming Apple Cider Margarita—the perfect seasonal twist on a classic, made with tequila, triple sec, lime juice, and sweet/spiced apple cider.First, the animatronics are back and scarier than ever! We dive into the massive opening weekend and box office performance of Five Nights at Freddy's 2. Then, we fast-forward to the ultimate high note with a look at the cultural and commercial phenomenon that is the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour film. With the second concert film and accompanying docuseries dropping this week on Disney+, we break down the box office records set by the original theatrical release, the addition of the new Tortured Poets Department era, and why this movie remains the biggest non-traditional blockbuster of the year.And because it's December, we can't resist a little yuletide terror!

We created the perfect foot race, and it involves flip-flops, margaritas, and fun for the whole family. This might be our best idea yet.

We find out why octopuses are more similar to humans than we realized, except for how they might be aliens.

Holiday Horrorshow: It’s a #Christmassacre! Folks, I don’t know who this “Karen” is, but she ain’t sending no fruitcake this year. She’s got the goods, the bad goods, the kind of holiday cheer that ends with an axe handle to the skull! This week, your “Scary Spirits” crew—that’s Karen and some guy named Greg—are strapping in for a festive slice of cinematic sleaze that knows how to put the massacre back in Christmas. We’re talking about the 2015 low-budget holiday horror flick, Secret Santa (or as the cool kids and the drive-in marquee call it, Christmassacre)! Will the interperonal drama be less painful than the gore? Will the special effects look like a melted snowman? And exactly how many cocktails does it take to get through a flick where Santa’s sleigh is replaced by a meat wagon? They’re downing a special, holly-jolly-spooky concoction they call the “Candy Cane Margarita.” Trust me, that drink’s probably got more kick than the movie, but you gotta listen to find out! Get ready for: #HolidayHorror: Not your grandma’s Christmas special. #SlasherFilm: A body count that will make your stocking blush. #BMovie: The best kind of bad cinema, 2015-style. #MovieReview: Karen and Greg break down the cheese and the carnage. #CultClassic: Is this the next great trash gem? Tune in, turn up the volume, and prepare for a Christmas that’s anything but silent. Candy Cane Margarita • 3/4 cup tequila, Blanco, or Silver• 1/4 cup Triple Sec or Cointreau• 1/4 cup lime juice, about 4 limes• 2 oz simple syrup• 2 oz grenadine• 4 cups ice• 2 candy canes, for the rim Instructions: Place the candy canes in a zip bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Or, for a finer rimming sugar-like texture, place them in a blender and pulse to crush them into a powdery mixture. Place the crushed candy canes on a plate. Rub a lime wedge along the rim of your glass and dip it into the crushed candy cane. Add all the ingredients inside a blender and blend until smooth. Adjust the thickness of the margarita, if necessary, by adding a little more ice. Pour the Margaritas into the prepared glasses. Source: tequilaoclock.com A Brief Synopsis: A group of college kids, struggling to get through the hectic exam period, plan a liquor-filled party. Adding a Secret Santa, little do they know that a killer is in town and has a special present for all the good (and bad) girls and boys. Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include: Karen tells us the side effects of sleep deprivation. Can you be killed by an electric appliance falling into the bath tub while bathing? Greg makes a reference to the lovely Jill Wagner.

Are high-end non-alcoholic drinks worth the price? What is the bartender's secret to great citrus-based cocktails like Margaritas or Mimosas? How do bartenders redefine a crafted cocktail without alcohol? Why does the term "Mocktail" for zero-proof non-alcoholic drinks offend many bartenders? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Elva Ramirez, author of the award-winning books Sparkling and Zero Proof. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks.   Giveaway Three of you are going to win a copy of Elva Ramirez's terrific book, Sparkling: Champagne and Sparkling Cocktails for Any Occasion. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose two people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck!   Highlights How did bartenders at Dante in New York discover that burrata water could replace egg whites in a Champagne Ramos cocktail? Why should citrus juice be used within hours, and how can leftover juice be transformed instead of being wasted? What are the biggest mistakes home bartenders make with bottled juices? Why do large ice blocks make a better punch than cubes? What inspired Elva to write Zero Proof? How did she recognize that the non-alcoholic movement was becoming a lasting cultural shift? How does America's long-standing tension between loving alcohol and fearing its effects still shape drinking culture today? What was the infamous "Raines Sandwich," and how did it expose the loopholes in New York's early drinking laws? How do public declarations like temperance pledges connect to today's Dry January social media posts? Why did the US Army go completely dry in 1917 and how did that decision pave the way for Prohibition? Why do professional bartenders dislike the word mocktail and prefer the term "zero proof"? How did Seedlip, the first distilled non-alcoholic spirit, transform modern bar culture? Why are alcohol-free cocktails sometimes as expensive as traditional ones? How is the culture around not drinking changing? Why does Elva believe opting out of drinking should feel as natural as any other choice?   Key Takeaways Are high-end non-alcoholic drinks worth the price? There's a real conversation happening among consumers: "Why am I paying $16 for a non-alcoholic drink?" But what you're not seeing is all the work that happened three days before to get you that drink. So what you're seeing when you get an expensive non-alcoholic drink is really the result of a lot of effort in the kitchen before it ever gets to the bar. How do bartenders redefine a crafted cocktail without alcohol? Bartenders are challenging themselves in this space. They were saying, "Okay, what if I take the alcohol out but still make something that's crafted, that still has balance?" They were doing all these really interesting experiments. They were using teas, ferments, and all these different things. That was really the seed of Zero Proof -  the idea of how to continue evolving this craft and keep it inclusive. Why does the term "Mocktail" for zero-proof non-alcoholic drinks offend many bartenders? Bartenders prefer the term zero-proof, because "mock" means to make fun of or fake. They don't want the consumer to feel like they're making a lesser choice or not being seen in their choice when they order a non-alcoholic drink. They're also putting as much effort, if not more, into making these really beautiful non-alcoholic drinks.   About Elva Ramirez Elva Ramirez is an author, journalist and brand strategist. She is the author of "Sparkling" and "Zero Proof," which were both finalists for Best Cocktail Book at Tales of the Cocktail in their respective years. "Sparkling" is a finalist for IACP's 2025 Best Cookbook Awards. Elva holds an MBA from CUNY Baruch College and a Master's in journalism from Columbia University.         To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/362.
