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. Crabb is horrified to learn Sales' theory that contacts who stick around for many years may well be undercover operatives. • Leigh Sales interviews Michelle and Stevie Payne on 7.30 - via ABC • Leigh Sales interviews Richie McCaw on 7.30 - via ABC • Who is Johnny Eales!? - via Wikipedia • A handy explainer on the Clinton emails and Anthony Weiner - via New York Times • Weiner - the film • Who's Up, Who's Down (Leigh Sales review of 'Weiner') - The Monthly • Even though Crabb later discovers that Kaz Cooke does not specifically know about research on gardens and satisfaction, she does have a good book with lots of other stuff about what makes women satisfied!
