    THE JESSE ARMSTRONG REWATCH S2 E07: Return

    We're back with Jesse Armstrong to digest the bolus of gubbins that is season two, episode seven, 'Return'.


    Did he get jerked off by his personal trainer at the end of sessions? Is he aware of any document destruction that may hinder our enquiries? Might it be better to do it over an egg?


    We're hunkering, let's get down to it!

    The Allure of Coffee Enemas and/or Ian Rubenstein

    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.

    THE JESSE ARMSTRONG REWATCH S2 E06: Argestes

    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: [email protected]

    I Could Have Been a QVC Star

    (sung) What have you done for us lately? Ooo ooo ooo ooo yeah.


    There was an incident at a high-end deli that changed everything, and Sara contemplates wearing a cummerbund to hide her midriff. Also: Hacks. Is is possible the most lovable part of that show is the font?

    THE JESSE ARMSTRONG REWATCH S2 E05: Tern Haven

    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.)

    A Low IQ By Human Standards

    If we don't do it, who will? Who will ask the big questions? Who will travel to the dangerous corners? FireCrotch and Normcore, that's who! FireCrotch & Normcore are... who? 


    This week we address whether your clothes are mandatory for your child's playdate. It inches us toward divorce but we do it anyway. Because of bravery. 


    Also: High Potential on Disney+ - it's not about drugs! - as well as a very strong email game from all you cutie cuties.

    THE JESSE ARMSTRONG REWATCH S2 E04: Safe Room

    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.

    Big Boys Don't Have Outies

    (sung) Getting to know you, getting to know all about you. 

    It was so wonderful getting to know so many of you at the live show! My god did we love it. Thank you for dressing so nicely and cool-y, the lot of you. We felt like Arcade Fire.


    This week: smear tests, space for children, and Severance. Something for everyone really.

    THE JESSE ARMSTRONG REWATCH S2 E03: Hunting

    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. There'll be a do-over at some point. ***
