Chat 10 Looks 3

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. Shownotes at Chat10Looks3.com/ep43

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 eating them. Does Crabb stop this recording just as Sales is just launching into song!? Shownotes at Chat10Looks3.com/ep42

Crabb and Sales analyse the 2nd US presidential debate, then briefly ponder why there is a Pokemon on Sales' desk. Discussion switches to unsympathetic main characters, Ben Mendelsohn's chin, a couple of new podcasts and the value of political satire. Shownotes at Chat10Looks3.com/ep41

This week Crabb and Sales discuss coincidences, John Grisham novels, mountain climbing, Mormons and what it's like to get an early, sneak peek at a feature-length Weiner (the documentary on former New York senator and Mayoral candidate: Anthony Weiner). Ask yourself this: in order to keep your place in a borrowed book, do you: a) insert a bookmark; or b) dog-ear the page Crabb and Sales reveal all on this episode. Shownotes at Chat10Looks3.com/ep38

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 with Scott Morrison and Penny Wong for seven hours. Crabb gets her hands on Antony Green's (software) package and Sales has been spending a lot of time at home curled up reading books. Shownotes at Chat10Looks3.com/ep37

The election campaign is taking its toll. Crabb and Sales are both sick, but the upside of spending so much time on flights with politicians is that you get a chance to read books, watch movies and binge-watch television. Grab the Vicks Vaporub and a box of tissues and enjoy this episode. Shownotes at Chat10Looks3.com/ep36

Recorded merely moments before Crabb and Sales appear on-stage before an audience of 2000 punters, they recall some of their investigations into political drama which is based largely on real-life events.

The bunglers are back for 2016 and Crabb is clanging like a bell after an encounter with celebrity cook Nigella Lawson. Sales finally gives Crabb her Christmas present and makes her eat cherry strudel that's been dropped on the floor. Warning: possibly the worst audio and level of interruptions ever and that's saying something. Shownotes available at chat10looks3.com/ep29
