EP 138 - The Girl Was Less Beautiful In The Book

Interspersed 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.
