In a strange twist, Sara did a gig at a nuclear power plant and yet it was uninteresting enough that we don't even talk about it in the podcast! We do talk about sperm, though.

At the time of writing, Sara/Firecrotch-y has finished season 1 of Heated Rivalry and having cried during the penultimate episode, is now wondering if maybe the whole thing is a work of genius after all? Laughs and cries is the classic combo but cries and turn-ons? If this is the direction 2026 is going, we (I) don't hate it. Maybe the toppermost TV echelon is Sopranos, Succession, The Wire, Six Feet Under, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul and Heated Rivalry, but not for the dialogue, only for the wanks-'n-tears. SEE YOU AT THE LIVE SHOW RIGHT?!

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!

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 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!
