Firecrotch & Normcore: THEY LIKE TO WATCH

“Sometimes I see how the brave new world arrives,And I see how it thrives in the ashes of our lives,Oh yes, man is a fool - and he thinks he'll be okay,Dragging on, feet of clayNever knowing he's astrayKeeps on going anyway”So sang ABBA in their festive hit, 'Happy New Year'. How different things might have been had they owned a SAD lamp.We're rounding out the year with a sombre reflection on some of the interviews that didn't make the cut for our last clip show in the summer. We appreciate you, we cherish you, and we wish you a better 2025 than your 2024. Or at least some kind of plateau. Or minimal decline.Should old acquaintance be forgot? fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comWe'll take a cup of kindness, yet: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHAnd there's a hand, my trusty friend: Annabel Port.

A Christmas gift from us to you. (We don't mind if you exchange it.) Happy holidays!Our Christmas angel: Annabel Port.

You know who likes to watch? Santa, that's who: He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. And if you've been pouting, FORGET ABOUT IT. But would Kris Kringle's (and your) attention be better fixed upon the latest high-end Netflix spy thriller?

Happy December, you are now allowed your Christmas tree or wreath. It's too soon for us, but the point is you can go for it now without being insane. How was Thanksgiving? What did FireCrotch-y cook and which of her fun capers went awry? Plus we talk Ren Faire, the best thing we've seen in ages, from Lance Oppenheim: Harvard Bro.COME TO OUR LIVE SHOW ON 25TH JANUARY: https://dice.fm/event/avnxb2-they-like-to-watch-live-25th-jan-the-bill-murray-london-ticketsEmail us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comPatreon support for Sara's two pies: patron.com/theyliketowatchEdited by the lady who spotted the tape on the window: Annabel E.

We sat down with Jesse at a house, in a cow shed with a corrugated iron roof to talk about the season one finale. Who wants to hear about it? Yeah? Well, you're out of luck, 'cause nothing happened, we just knitted and made salads, did some yoga. And no one will tell you different, because we killed the stripper.Can he scuba? Will he buckle under the intellectual scrutiny? Could this be the defining moment of his life? Or it could be what is should be: Nothing at all.BT-Dubz: That's it from Jarmstrong until January, as we're taking a short break. We're not sorry for what we're doing, which is correct, but we're sorry for how it makes you feel. And we're sorry it had to be today.We're doing a live show!

Corn bread! Gravy! Pecan pie!Our next-stop-Thanksgiving attitude might annoy some of you but as Bertrand Russell once said: "girl, you do you".We're doing us this week, which means a classic Thanksgiving film, Wicked's newest fan-girl, and a terrifying letter through the letter-box.The last few weeks have been glorious, email-wise, so don't let us down now! fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.com Sara's Eurostar ticket nearly broke plus Jones Road of course: patreon.com/theyliketowatch Edited by Annabel Port Richardson.

It's the penultimate episode of season one, and the guests are arriving for a destination wedding in an offshore laundry for turning evil into hard currency.We're back with showrunner/wedding planner, Jesse Armstrong. We have a lot of time for him, but there may be certain questions: Securing a considerable level of investment for a Napoleonic history podcast - is that nothing? Can he beat Kendall Roy's morning press-up tally ? And how long does he give it? WHAT?! We're just trying to sparkle.Send us a bear hug letter: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comSo kind of you to pay for all this delicious wine: https://www.patreon.com/c/THEYLIKETOWATCH
