We got to record in the same place for once! It was delightful and led to enough material for a two-parter, which is how you know you've made it in podcasting. Will talks about names for concepts that English does not yet have words for, like forgetting someone's name right after being introduced or when you accidentally eat way past the feeling of fullness (you'd think American would have come up with a word for that by now).

Lots of weird language happening in this one! We dive into igpay atinlay, learn about the most sober of gemstones, talk about the shady behavior of frogs, and explore the concept of fantasy Swedish wolves!
