THE FINALE PT1: The Sweetest Hours - with Jesse Armstrong

Sorry to leave you hanging after what you've been through. We opted for a lunchtime episode drop to bring you our number one boy, YOUR number one boy - 'Succession' creator and showrunner, Jesse Armstrong.


TODAY: Everything up to when it all goes to s**t

TOMORROW: The trauma. But more Jesse, too!


PS. Non-regular listener dipping in for the Jesse interview? The rest of it not for you? Great, but skip to about thirty minutes in instead of making Sara a HATE FIGURE on social media.

    Guys - you've been warned - we're getting philosophical this week. Big questions get asked, for example: if your dog craps in your garden how quickly do you clean it up? Also we were inundated with emails about Apple Cider Vinegar, so we talk through that but don't you worry, we'll get deep deep with White Lotus soon enough. See Sara at London's Soho theatre at the end of March: https://sohotheatre.com/events/sara-barron-anything-for-you/Write to us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comSupport us financially for chillbains, new sofas, the works: patreon.com/theyliketowatchEdited by the soon-to-be quinquagenarian, Naughty E.

    Put on your puffy vest and pristine hiking boots and please give a warm Argestes welcome to Jesse Armstrong (he’s exceedingly easy to get.)If we got kissy, might he share plot details of ‘Frat Baby 2’? Could a Cobb salad ever be worth $75? And would he like an Advil and a handjob?It’s a culture hike, and we’re listening quite aggressively.We hear for you: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comWe’re a big fan of, uh.. all your money: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHHow is this entertainment? https://sohotheatre.com/events/sara-barron-anything-for-you/

    59:40|
    Come, come homeward. Promises to keep, and miles to go before we sleep...This week, we're talking Tern Haven with Jesse over a round of Hank Pierce's Break-bumpers. We’re kind of like eunuch besties.Can he recommend anything that Oprah isn’t pushing? Does he object to being fumbled by the invisible hand of the market, like a prim little matron? And does he kneel before His Majesty, the spinach?He'd better start speechifying, or we'll send him into the bathroom, and he will stay there until we have answers. (Or until he’s done something with himself.)Share your gossip, investments, art, movies, tittle-tattle, wider cultural interests: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comShove a bar of gold down our throat: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHFancy a little after-dinner stargaze? https://sohotheatre.com/events/sara-barron-anything-for-you/

    We hole up with Succession’s showrunner and involve him in our disgusting little stratagems, as we dig into Safe Room, written by Georgia Pritchett.Is he being stymied by a variety of enemies who are envious of his talents? Was he interested in politics from a young age? And is he allowed to just say numbers?Leave us on your pillow and hear our brilliance cascading.Keep close: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comGive us a donor boner: https://www.patreon.com/THEYLIKETOWATCHBuy Succession - The Scripts: https://www.faber.co.uk/product-category/non-fiction/film/screenplays/succession-the-scripts/

    Musicians? Pianissimo!Time for a game of Boar on the Floor. Will Jesse oink for his sausage?Who's his most pointy-headed f*ck? Does he hyper-decant? And is Ratf*cker Sam misunderstood?Our question to J. Armstrong is: Do you want to present your side, or are you happy for everyone else to tell their version?*** Sara is convalescing ahead of our live show, so this is just the Jesse interview.

    If you don't have one minute and thirty seconds to listen to this: Geoff's ill, so no TLTW pod this week, but we should be okay for the Succession rewatch and the live show. Bye!
