Ep 7: Close Kimono

03/07/15 • 33 min

Sales has locked Crabb in a room with a piano, which can only mean one thing: show tunes! The pair celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of The Sound of Music and detour their way through rotten reviews, ironic illnesses, faux feminists and dudes in drag. Think of it as a few of their favourite things.
