[@MacTechG4]

Great episode, it hearkens back to the classic S1-S2 episodes, and it’s a great standalone episode Nice to hear that Khoshek is still happy, healthy, and hovering :)

[@mmushypushy]

Wonder how his kittens are doing

[@subtlefire7256]

So good to hear from Khoshek again. I missed him. We are never going to learn Carlos' last name, eh?

[@charleswheeler440]

We already know his last name, it's The Scientist

[@RedCanaryAboveGround]

they got married already so hes mr. palmer to now.

Cecil trashtalking Dumpster the Cat had me rolling - so much sass this episode, I love it

[@SoulQueenoD]

They adore cats. Which is why they got a dog. Mistigan. 🤣🤣 What is Carlos’s last name. Cecil, they can hear you. Everyone can hear you! What are you doing? I love and hate how oddly innocent Cecil sounds now.

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

...sooooo how many of us went "GERSHWIN-PALMER???" Also, man, can Cecil trashtalk.

Palmer?

[@ericac3817]

@@ShardNetwork thanks

[@thekapster5]

I thought it was The Scientist?

[@Takisan111]

@@ShardNetwork I thought that was Cecils last name.

[@molamola8664]

Palmer is Cecil's last name (which I assumed was also Carlos' last name since they're married) but we don't know Carlos' last name I guess since Cecil said that they had diffrent last names

[@voidAsteraceae]

when he said "fist-sized" my brain immediately supplied "river rock" and jumped to the conclusion that this must be Sarah's cat

[@alexisrieck9928]

We got so much new information about Kosheck! I'm so excited to see a ton of new fanart and maybe even make some of my own.

*My baby boy is in a cat show*

[@ChatookaMusic]

My character in my D&D game has a pet wyvern and I named it after Khoshekh

[@vanillaplanifoliae]

man this is the first episode where i've actually known a weather song beforehand

[@soylentgreen6082]

Koshek has clearly been a guiding paw/tentacle behind the recent release of the musical "Cats". The theme of an orgiastic suicide cult of eldritch cat-human hybrids is clearly a psychic emanation of Koshek's id expressing his love for humanity. They too shall tear your soul apart if you make eye contact, so make like Perseus and bring a mirror.

[@mathclubgirl]

Bertold sounds like he's a tarantula that Amber and Wilson painted orange and white to pass as a cat

[@ChatookaMusic]

Honestly it sounds like in Night Vale "cat" is a blanket term for any fluffy pet that isn't a dog

[@remanjecarter2787]

@@ChatookaMusic doesn't have to be fluffy either, pit vipers are still dogs... Wait those are still fluffy. Everything is fluffy what's *happening*

[@ReinaKazumi314]

Yep that's correct.

[@miriammicek8883]

his last name is The Scientist

[@helvetica1480]

Miriam Micek ah right, of course. How silly of me for forgetting

[@spud_dles]

I love wtnv cuz its like, "This might just be a continuity error, but the chance of it being on purpose isn't zero" In reference to the bathroom Khoshekh is in being a "men's bathroom" again, because I remember it being announced it was changed into a unisex bathroom and that Khoshekh was enjoying the increase in visitors.

[@jadamarie7135]

Gorgeous weather we are having!!Cecil is so cute when he gets all excited. :)

[@taylorslade961]

Cecil: "Be the annoying goose you want to see in the world." Me: "Isn't there a video game for that?"

[@molamola8664]

Ok, but am I the only one that has been waiting for a mention of this beautiful kitty for a very long time

[@katrinak3235]

I've fallen in love with this podcast even more after having seen a spy in the desert. Thank you for everything you guys do.

[@vwoopvwoop2582]

Cecil sounds different. . . I guess that's what happens when you're only on the 36th episode, and you haven't listened to it in forever- wait what Cecil and Carlos are MARRIED??? Crap I have a lot of catching up to do Edit: I have now listened to up to the 59th episode of WTNV. So I'm getting there.

[@remanjecarter2787]

Damn time travelers, you weren't supposed to know about that yet

Holy crap dude you've got soooo much to catch up on! Get listening, the new episodes will be here!

[@cassandrastillman8796]

What is with all the comment from people who haven't listened in a while. Is the episode title " cat show" really what makes everyone jump back in? 😅

[@MaganmashFlutefighter]

The answer to your question lies in your profile picture.

[@gael8596]

its just showing up in people's recommendations for some reason

[@themousemage]

Probably! Everyone loves Khoshekh.

[@Solarstormflare]

YES, YOU ARE 100% CORRECT

[@dak3938]

I’ll admit, when I was further back in the series I did find the urge to listen to this episode out of order

[@fluffyasmr7633]

Ahh the weather is purrrfect

[@7ofspades7]

This episode was nice. It's been a while since we heard about what's actually going on at the station. Other than station management, there hasn't been mention of Khoshekh or any interns for a while. It felt lonely.

[@Frostaltered]

Omg I love how they referenced the plane from early in the series that for a split second appeared in the middle of a basketball game

[@JartinVartinJlackwood]

They really said "awe are you still sad about the kevin backstory, have a kitty!"

Am I imaginening things, or wasn't the bathroom changed to be unisex?

Everyone talking about Carlos like Cecil didn't just reveal his last name is Gershwin-Palmer

[@WoodSageSeaSalt]

But Cecil revealed his full name already way before.

[@themousemage]

@@WoodSageSeaSalt And we all thought his middle name was Gershwin and his last name was Palmer. But he gave both names together to Khoshekh, meaning it's a double last name.

[@themousemage]

@Cecelia Riddle Exactly, that's what I'm saying. 😊 We all mistakenly assumed Gershwin was his middle name. Also, as much as I love that episode, I'm not sure I buy it with that cracks-in-reality bit. How did Cecil get the tapes before it happened?

[@klltsun_2576]

??? That's still Cecil. What, did you jump episodes and missed Cecil's development as a character as he put more emotion in his voice? And in some recent episodes his tone was almost similar with the earlier episodes, but in this episode he's really happy because of all the cats

[@mmushypushy]

The host didn’t change though...

[@themousemage]

I know what you mean. Baldwin used to sound so much better.

[@mmushypushy]

mousemuffins I went back and listened to an earlier episode to see what you mean and while I can see what you guys mean, I think it might have to do with the equipment they used to use/editing process, they used a cheaper mic+maybe boosted lower frequencies back in the day so it sounded a little more grungy I guess. And Cecil’s delivery changed a bit, but I actually think it’s understandable, it’s been years
