Not to oversell, but in this episode we've stumbled across one of life's big questions:If you move house and everything is still in some degree of chaos, and a very sweet man from Virgin Media comes to install wifi but then leaves his enormous bulky jacket behind, and the addition of this one big jacket tips you over the edge mentally, how long do you have to keep the jacket before giving it to a charity shop? Obviously Virgin Media has been contacted multiple times to say, "Hey! We've got this guy's jacket!"Firecrotch is on the verge of a mental breakdown, btw.Write to us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comSupport us, Firecrotch needs some form of private mental healthcare: https://www.patreon.com/theyliketowatchEdited by Annabel Port who is now all (or at least some of) the rage on the TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theotherbritishmuseum Hosted on Acast.

Of course you do!Secondly, here's an episode for you. We don't want to spoil what's inside, but if you're triggered by lengthy descriptions of defecation and its complications, you may want to listen to the first five minutes before skipping ahead another seven or so.

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.

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.

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. Plus: Pee Wee Herman and Adam CurtisWrite to us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comBuy Sara her slut books: patron.com/theyliketowatch Hosted on Acast.

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.
