Thank you all for coming, and thanks to all who have supported Sara through her recent health nonsense. This week, we attend the RECNY with the man, the legend, Jesse Armstrong.

** Surprise Jesse Retirement Announcement **

So sorry about the butter, guys.

Hello! This week, we're transatlantic, like a pair of Freddie Laker mother-effers.

Sara is in the suburbs of Chicago, and wants to be left alone. Geoff is in Stoke Newington, and wishes he wasn't being left alone. Somehow, remarkably, we can watch the same TV. What an era.

Hey hey hey, my people!

Time for another peep through our (smeared) window into the mind behind 'Succession', Jesse Armstrong. We wouldn't say he's the man, but if there were a man - hypothetically - he might look a lot like Jesse.

This week, it's episode 3, 'Lifeboats', and a trio of major players enter the stage: Sandy Furness, Stewy Hosseini and Mondale... um, there's no way Shiv is allowing a dog to have a surname. But he's basically a Roy, in all but name.

Oh, and we found Roman's personal trainer on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brockyurich/profilecard/?igsh=enMzaHdzYXo5cHpk

Stay strong, stay in touch.

Hey, hey we're The Monkees, and people say we monkey around! For clarity: We're not The Monkees, and people seldom say we monkey around.

This week we get on board with: 

a) The gourd

b) 'Industry'. OR DO WE? (We're hopeful this isn't another 'The Bear' situation.)

We also attend a local event, which displeases the family convalescent. 

See you on Friday WITH J'ARMSTRONG!

Hello! I apologise if my bell summoned you. It's FireCrotch & Normcore here, with another funky chowder! The rewatch with our dear acquaintance Jesse Armstrong continues with season 1, episode 2, Shit Show at the Fuck Factory. 

Dear Jesse, talk me through your feelings on titles? Am I thinking about it too much? Like the people who thought all the orange in S3E8 was a signal that Kendall was dead? How much analysis is TOO much analysis? I JUST WANT YOU TO LIKE ME. 

And what about Lawrence's omelette nipples? 

If you need us to go get sandwiches or coffee OR step up from regional parks and run North America, we can and we will, and that's just an offer on the table. Do you hereby concur?

Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten! From the Battery to the top of Manhattan! It's the perspicacious Firecrotch & Normcore reporting for duty, and we are back at the beginning of all things with THE CREATOR, Jesse Armstrong. 

In the first of our week-by-week rewatches, we establish a dynamic that says 'I respect you, but I'm not awed by you.' And that 'I like you, but I need you to like me before I can love you.' 

Did we bend for him? How much sage was burnt? And did he hit the million dollar homerun? 

It's a magnificent effort. Magnificent.

Exciting times, it's all ahead of us this week: Sara's tonsillectomy and our new episode-by-episode Succession rewatch with Jesse D Armstrong.

In the light of the above, this is the first of our revamped/devamped episodes: One luxury-lengthed watch, and your correspondence. No rush, we're on island time.

See you on Friday WITH JESSE!

Hey nerds! We go fast and hard this week with the brilliant and hilarious Phil Wang to discuss his new Netflix special, Wang in There, Baby!

Plus: More Everest obsession from you know who, more Scandi drama from you know who, and someone (we're not naming names) embarrasses herself in the environs of a West End musical.

It's too early to talk about gourds, right? We hold on to the last vestiges of summer by immersing ourselves in Nantucket's Perfect Couple. (Is Sara the only one watching and thinking about how Nicole Kidman's Hollywood bestie is Naomi Watts, and Naomi Watts is also Liev Schreiber's ex-wife, and Liev Schreiber is playing Nicole Kidman's husband? Anyone? Bueller?) We delve into Couples Therapy too, of course, don't worry your pretty little heads. 

And our guest this week! It's only one of the world's - the world's! - best comedians, John Kearns, here to talk about his new standup special Varnishing Days.
