Sales and Crabb look back at the best of 2017. Recorded live at Llewellyn Hall, ANU on Sat 9 December.

[Recorded pre-McCartney] Much to their excitement both Crabb and Sales successfully Google “literary page turner” (or LPT for short). The Drover's Wife is deconstructed and there are plenty of puns about Murder on the Orient Express. 

Plenty of banter on what to do with pulp from intractable and flinty Queensland pumpkins. Plus young Robert Redford, the ubiquitous Babs, Elton John (Clang!) and GOMA.

Crabb will consider reading a promotional book if it includes a blurb from Howard Hughes, Sales will consider reading it if it comes with a Ferrari. In this episode we learn about Barbara Steisand’s sister, get some tips on how to deal with the “international marzipan scandal” and find out that Sales thinks Crabb has the sense of humour of a 14 year old boy.

There are men you think you can trust (but really shouldn't!) Sales' has a giant granny pants problem and Crabb reckons her hair merkin is really workin'.

Recorded live at the Comedy Theatre in Melbourne, Saturday 16 September, 8pm session. (Note: recording ends suddenly.)

How is it that some actors can remove themselves from their iconic roles? And why do some commit to the impossible task of playing real life personalities? Crabb is feeling emotionally vulnerable, and keeps revealing things she will regret, including the fact that she will never listen to Chat 10 Looks 3. Sales discusses how she decides to deliver the initial Killer Punch in an interview. 

Crabb and Sales are having a meal together when Crabb has a sudden desire to podcast and suggests they head up to her hotel room. Sales is reluctant because they are without their medieval contraceptive device (aka the zoom recorder) but in the moment they throw caution to the wind. A gentleman known as Mr Tuba features.

Crabb’s faulty oven catches fire at an inconvenient time and such is her incandescent rage that she goes on a social media rant at the manufacturer.  Sales, seeing an opportunity to soothe her friend, turns to the piano and writes a new and more appropriate jingle for the oven company.  We have chosen to bleep out the name of company involved to protect the not-so-innocent.  Oh and Crabb has finally gotten around to watching a few episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale.  Under His Eye.

This podcast is a bit like a Burger Ring, there is no nutritional value and it is best you don't know what is in it. Crabb is in a movie watching slump and Sales is in a reading slump, but there is still plenty to chat about: bad movie and TV dialogue, sex scenes written by colleagues as well as fantastic food documentaries.
