We're nearing the end of our accidentally homeless era. Who will we be when we're not outstaying our welcome in various friends' homes? Will you even know us? Will we even know ourselves? Tune in next week to hear us homed, but not settled. The chances of us having a working TV or broadband connection are extremely remote, so we'll probably be reviewing an audiobook or a street performer.

It's another unedited episode as slut summer becomes the summer of slop - we were recording against the clock before unplugging our home podcast studio FOREVER. We're at the mercy of the conveyancing process, so we don't know when normal service will be resumed, but mom decided it was better to give you something rather than nothing. (Pop remains unconvinced.)What do you think? Stop the slop, or would you welcome further slop drops?

A cautionary episode highlighting the perils of podcasting without editing. (Our editor, Annabel is away this week, and Geoff didn't have time to do it because our life is either in boxes, or needs putting into boxes.)This song is lovely, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st7IwWl-T84Offer kind words: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comGrow Sara's slutty budget this summer: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCH Hosted on Acast.

WELCOME TO FIRECROTCH & NORMCORE'S SUMMER OF SPONTANEITY!

Have the DCC overtaken our household? YES MA'AM. Between And Just Like That and the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, Sara is at an intellectual low, but a slut high.

We're baaaaaaaack! To say we're "better than ever" would be an overstatement, however we're not unhappy with the episode. Sara's in pink pants - slut!!!! - plus she's onto some Churchill materials. Geoff is only half sweaty, and less of a ticking time bomb than we originally feared.

Made using Suno to highlight how AI music apps could devalue human artistry, replace jobs, and flood the market with generic content - eroding originality, authorship, and the emotional depth that comes from lived experience. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We watched Jesse Armstrong's new film, 'Mountainhead'. Twice: Once on our sofa, and once at a glittering event (which was also the site of the least comfortable convo in history - between your correspondent Sara H. Barron and the Emmy-winning Tony Roche. Coincidentally, the second-least comfortable convo in history was happening nearby.)Also, has Geoff found a new TV gang? And Sara is euphoric because 'Sex and The City' spinoff, 'And Just Like That' is back for another season. Michael Patrick King and Jesse David Armstrong, both dropping new material in the same week! She's like a pig in sh*t and deluxe sh*t at the same time.Maslow's hierarchy of needs: Tier 3: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comTiers 1 and 2: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCH Hosted on Acast.

Happy New Jesse Armstrong Content Eve! By the time our next episode drops, his new film, Mountainhead will be released into the wild (HBO/Sky/Now TV.) May Our Lord and Saviour, Jesse David, watch over you and bring peace to the land, the crops, the pigs, and the chickens. This podcast is late to honor our big boy on his big day, and not because we had a series of mishaps over half-term. nb. This episode contains zero actual Jesse Armstrong or 'Mountainhead' content beyond fevered anticipation. One of us is excited to tell you about the best TV we've seen in over twelve months, though.Peace be with you.(And with you.)Write to us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.com Help Sara get slutty on a budget.

What *would* you do if we sang out of tune? Geoff tries, with minimal success, to get Sara on board with the idea that it’s nicer to give than to receive.

Hello babies, come suckle on our pod-teat. Here's this week's nutrition...
