Well, what a surprise. Sales has received some personal blowback for her recent excoriation of anyone who's ever given her a scented candle. Crabb enjoys Sales' shame but has also recently killed her laptop with duck fat so... swings, roundabouts. Sales is loving the new Judd Apatow series Love and is permitted two minutes ONLY on the Song Exploder episode with Lin Manuel Miranda. Meanwhile Crabb has hugely enjoyed Meg Mason's Sorrow and Bliss, and has a weird new crush on Nick Kyrgios thanks to Reputation Rehab on the ABC.
Read MoreThat's what she reckons anyway, though Crabb has left open a legally-enforceable (with the right lawyer) defence for saving them in this discussion of self-analysis arising from Sales' recent reading of a novel about group therapy. Setting their own petty scribblings aside however, Sales and Crabb have each read a "major publishing event" novel; Sales has done Richard Flanagan's latest and Crabb is all over Trent Dalton's keenly-awaited second novel.
Read MoreWarning: This episode contains confronting material for anyone who's ever given Leigh Sales a scented candle as a gift. While Crabb frantically scrolls through past gifts, the pair review the Cathy Freeman doco, and consider the return of live theatre and music to Sydney. Crabb's watched a terrifying doco about how boys are politicised in Texas, and Sales has interviewed Donald Trump's former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Both are $&%@!!?ing excited about Nat's What I Reckon putting a book out.
Read MoreSales is finding Dirty John 2 riveting, even though Connie Britton and her perfect hair aren't in it. The conversation then goes very dark, as Crabb has been on a crime (reading) spree, covering serial killers, rapists, drug dealing, drive-by shootings and domestic violence. Happily, we end with Schitt's Creek - and a final rake over Annabel's red shoes shame.
Read MoreCrabb's been enjoying Julia Gillard's new book on women and leadership, while Sales has fawningly returned to the Chatter adulation-well for an interview with Yotam Ottolenghi. Once again, some of his suggestions (including, bafflingly, putting a vegetable on a char grill) prove "too hard" for Princess Leigh. Crabb pulls out her trump card: She's in touch with Marina Hyde. But then throws away whatever ground she's gained with possibly the most embarrassing celebrity contact story ever.
Read MoreCrabb is still obsessed with Curtis Sittenfeld while Sales wants to throttle a friend who got her hooked on the equivalent of a Spanish soap opera. Both find a rare moment of agreement to recognise a couple of podcasts about grace and redemption. Crabb's been at the cooking sherry again, probably.
Read MoreThe conversation is on serious intellectual territory when it suddenly takes an unexpected handbrake turn into shark pickling.
Read MoreCrabb and Sales talk exclusively in this episode about watching Hamilton on Disney+. If you are not interested in Hamilton, you are safe to skip this episode without missing anything else.
Read MoreSales gets on an unstoppable run of singing theme tunes from TV sitcoms but Crabb gets her own back by getting on an unstoppable run about Christopher Pyne.
Read MoreSales has interviewed John Bolton about his remininscently-of-something-named memoir, The Room Where It Happened. This kicks off a discussion Crabb has been mulling over for a while: If you work with an out of control megalomaniac, what is your obligation to society? The space-adorability continuum develops a serious pleat when Sales listens to a podcast involving Yotam AND Lin-Manuel. And Crabb's new favourite podcast involves gal pals Nakkiah Lui and Miranda Tapsell, sparking fears she will defect to a new BFF arrangement.
Read MoreSales is cross at one of the characters in the wildly-popular Normal People while Crabb has been deep inside an alternate reality where Hillary Rodham never married Bill Clinton.
Read MoreSales is insufferable after netting two of the biggest fish on her interview wishlist but Annabel brings her down a peg or two by crabbsplaining the correct way to prepare a bundt tin.
Read MoreInterspersed with prudent blasts of a popular brand of aerosol disinfectant, Crabb and Sales tackle the runaway hit TV version of Sally Rooney's Normal People. It has an "intimacy consultant"! And you'll need one when you read the sex scenes between George W and Laura Bush in The American Wife, which Crabb's only just heard about (typically) even though it was famous years ago. And Sales finally reads the book that Crabb consumed while driving through walnut groves in California, an incident about which she is till being unfairly teased.
Read MoreLeigh perplexed (and not-quite-convinced) us all a while back when she suddenly professed a knowledge of cricket. Now she's got all Salesplainy about basketball via the new TV doco The Last Dance. Plus: what happened to Val Kilmer?
