("Hipster Sweater Trap" = new band name, or new album name?)
Weezer song for sure.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Carefree might be too much to ask for, but moments or even periods of joy, at least, I think is a reasonable hope. Certainly what I wish for M as a floor
Hipster Sweater Trap is an excellent band name! Maybe they include some Weezer covers in their repertoire?

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.
I'm allergic to real wool, anyway
You’re allergic to sheep AND goats?

Maybe it wouldn't *completely* come back(life is different once you know how bad the bad stuff gets, for sure) but research *tends* to suggest that some people are born happier and, after getting through a struggle for a while tend to return to more of their...set point. (I'm sure it says lovely, optimistic things about me that most of what I know about both happiness and sex comes from other people's research.) OPP= Other People's Protocols?(Nah, not quite "Big Bang" enough to make that joke. ETA: Do you think people would have lost their minds about rock and roll so hard if the first bands were more like BareNaked Ladies and Weezer instead of Elvis? (Although, maybe, there's nothing hot about Bill Haley either. Nothing, you know, "because it's wrong", anyway, and the Usual Suspects hated him, too.)

I can wear wool socks on my bare feet, but I can't wear sheep or goat wool sweaters without a thick long-sleeved shirt underneath. It's too itchy. (I guess my feet are tougher? Or they're more willing to put up with wool in order to not freeze?)
(Also, "You’re allergic to sheep AND goats?" feels like a quote from something, though I don't know what.)

You are reminding me of the time Mo Rocca commented on WWDTM that hand knot sweaters were too itchy so a bunch of listeners angrily knot and sent him sweaters to refute that claim.
I doubt that's being quoted, though

PARTY AT THE SHEEP’S EYE
I am assuming this will be offered on various forms of merch, and I am knowing that I will buy one of those merches.
It was such a fucking great episode. Do we call them episodes? I'm having a brain fart.
Way to go, Laura's nephew!
Debet, I approve only of your third birthday present. I mean, so far as my approval actually plays into... anything, ever.
I am not allergic to wool, but with every passing year, itchy things become more and more of a no-go.

The group picture? It had better be, because I (the person who doesn't need any more t-shirts) want it on a t-shirt. Or as a print would be nice -- we have this poster framed, and it would be nice to have the group picture framed along with it.

I think the creators call them chapters, but I think I only refer to them as episodes.

A group picture would be so perfect. I love the print you linked. I have but a single coffee mug, but it has Gloria's coffee quote, so it's the best.
You guys, I am so deep into the whole audio drama world now because of Midnight Burger, you can't even know. It's a little bit over the top, but I'm having so much fun. Also, Midnight Burger is a fucking unicorn. I mean, among some really fabulous horses and a Pegasuses (and what Buffy snippet did I just remind myself of?) or two, but... yeah.
