This week we talk about Christmas traditions and rambunctiousness via "gävle goat", gay cowboys via "cowboys are frequently secretly fond of each other" and film scanning, via "nikon scan snow leopard."

This week, we're looking at "ffmpeg documentation", visiting the "regal downtown seattle", and contemplating going to see "phish the sphere" next year. And at the end of the day, you do get a hot dog out of it.

It's a good week, where Noëlle wants to know how to "tell Sonarr to redownload everything" while Liz just wants a "long peacoat."

It's hard to stay up to date with the culture, which is probably why Liz was googling "frasier reboot" and Noëlle got caught up on "taylor tomlinson after midnight", but don't worry, there's meaningful conversation about solving real-life problems, too, such as "LED light strip 2700k" or "wh-1000m4 audio issue on mac". We wouldn't waste your time with anything that wasn't worth wasting your time.

I had a hard drive failure and this episode was saved by Backblaze. Thanks, Backblaze.

Oh boy, it's time for Noëlle to learn about cooking. What's a "french brigade"? Why are you looking up "bon appetit apron"? Did Liz keep her "nyt crossword streak"? All these answers and more in a new Idle Curiosities!

We talk about literature! hardware issues! crafting! singing! and that's just Noëlle's search terms! Liz also had *an experience*, which you want to hear about.

Listen, at this point I'm not even writing summaries anymore. Here's an episode we made that I completely forgot to post. I'm professional.

Nothing went wrong while recording this episode. Fuck you for even suggesting that. God.

We talk about Sufjan Stevens, who has announced his first solo songwriter record since Carrie & Lowell (I'll be dead in the ground before I consider The Ascension a solo songwriter record) and honestly what else needs to be talked about in such meaningful times? Also Jelly Belly.
