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.

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.

Crabb and Sales chat about S-Town, Oprah, exploding whales and tuba players with bum acne. There is the inevitable mention of Garner. Apparently Sales indulges in some dance moves inspired by "Every Musical Ever". Both reveal a backlog in their "must-read-and-watch" lists.

The 50th episode! Surely not? There is plenty of clanging, including some competitive clanging over Armando Iannucci.

Sales finds a room with a piano and invites Crabb for a sing-a-long inspired by the Book of Mormon. Crabb discusses some terrific events she saw at the 2017 Adelaide Festival.

Summer viewing and reading has thrown up all sorts of questions for Crabb and Sales: Why are they more attached to Prince Phillip than they ever thought they would be? How can you turn shitty audio quality into a useful art form? Will they ever be able to go for a whole episode without mentioning Helen Garner?

Sincerely apologetic about the audio quality from the last episode, Crabb and Sales lock themselves away in a silent office to talk of recent adventures at Parliament House and how great it was to see Helen Garner featured in the New Yorker.

(Warning: bad audio quality!) Sales takes Crabb to a new café but tells her the incorrect name of the place - mistaking the band 'Something for Kate' for the café 'Something for Jess'. The bad news is Crabb will never be able to find it again. The good news is there's something for everyone in this episode, from American politics to raspberry mousse.

Defiantly avoiding the Melbourne Cup, Crabb and Sales hide themselves away to discuss recent developments in the US Election. Sales is proud to announce that she has had great success growing sweetpeas. New podcasts plus a couple of recent books written by colleagues are discussed.

Even though it has not rained for days, Crabb still manages to get drenched by passing traffic - very 'sitcom' don't you think? Detailed discussion ensues on a range of topics: new TV shows, perfect roast potatoes, glorious salads, women in law, 'The Boss' and whether you can ever look at too many piles of rice and fish without getting to eat them.

The election is over. We may even have a Prime Minister (at least for the next few months or so). Crabb and Sales reflect on what it's like being chained to a desk for nearly seven hours with Scott Morrison and Penny Wong.
