Ep 53: Fat Tuba Players

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. Frustratingly we do not get the details about Sales’ early night after the Logies!?
