Podcasts about potholes

On today's episode of The Therapy Crouch, it's time for a Best Of special – the funniest, most chaotic and downright outrageous moments of the year so far.From Peter's accidental 6AM “private” workout in the pod (that may or may not have been caught on camera), to Abbey discovering she was someone's lock screen… nothing is off limits. We revisit the now-infamous saturation diver jellyfish story (yes, it's as bad as you remember), Pete's Ibiza jellyfish disaster, and the marriage debate that had everyone shouting “you're not present at all!”Plus, the Nickname Game Hall of Fame returns with some absolute crackers — including “Cordless”, “Pothole” and the one ( you know the one!) that nearly broke the internet.There's posture problems, packing arguments, erotic literature confusion, scuba diving fails and proof (apparently) that Abbey is a full-blown sex symbol.If you want to submit a story, Weekly Wine or a nickname for the Hall of Fame – hit the link below:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rAKDST4HU_8al_aWpOlys3TRJrWvDV-84piVdlOOjU4/edit00:00 Introduction – Best Of Special03:45 WikiFeet & “Abbie's Trotters”08:20 Pete's 6AM Pod Workout13:10 Posture & Spine Scare17:40 “You're Not Present” Marriage Debate22:15 The Zurich Trip Chaos27:30 The Jellyfish Diver Horror Story33:40 Pete's Ibiza Jellyfish Nightmare36:50 Abbey's Lock Screen Moment40:10 Nickname Game Hall of Fame45:20 Erotic Literature & Mr Tickle49:00 Final LaughsTo contact us:Email: thetherapycrouch@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetherapycrouchpodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetherapycrouchWebsite: https://thetherapycrouch.com/For more from Peterhttps://twitter.com/petercrouchFor more from Abbeyhttps://www.instagram.com/abbeyclancyOur clips channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZntcv96YhN8IvMAKsz4Dbg Hosted on Acast.

Potholes are more than just a minor road inconvenience; they are a pervasive menace to drivers in urban areas. In today's episode, the hosts recount their recent experiences with these stealthy hazards. With a blend of humor and frustration, they describe the nuances of dealing with auto insurers who often seem more interested in bureaucracy than in swift action. The dialogue reveals both comedic moments and genuine advice for anyone needing to manage their own encounters with road damage. Listeners will appreciate the engaging narrative as the hosts and their audience swap tales of automotive woe. The episode also takes a deep dive into how modern cars, lacking spare tires, leave drivers more reliant on towing services. The discussion is rich with personal stories, offering both entertainment and valuable insights into managing car trouble. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt aggravated by urban driving challenges.

Experiment Zero - The Peace Experiments: The Pothole Broadcast In Chapter Thirteen, Kitty delivers one last broadcast from Midway. Using Doris the Pothole as both witness and metaphor, she reflects on what the hearing revealed and what it failed to fix. Peace, she reminds us, is not a grand declaration but an act of maintenance: noticing cracks, refusing denial, and telling the truth before the damage spreads. With Marzipan's approval echoing through the room, Kitty closes Experiment Zero not with certainty, but with resolve—and an open road still asking to be repaired. Experiment Zero is the prequel to The Peace Experiments, a peace-forward series where a group of young people are brave enough to challenge conventional arguments against peace and disarmament.

Experiment Zero - The Peace Experiments: New Files, The Pothole and the Protocol Chapter Twelve brings us back to Midway, where Kitty files the story that quietly changes everything. After the national hearing, a modest directive authorizes youth-led peace experiments—not because institutions believe in peace, but because they can no longer justify their fear of it. At her desk, with Marzipan keeping time, Kitty realizes her role has changed. She is no longer chasing the argument. She is witnessing what happens next.
