i really do love that Carlos pointed out neurotypical ableism, way too many people are like that and don't even realize it and it just hurts those of us who are neurodivergent and/or have a mental illness. thank you so much

You can't drop in that babysitter comment and then just dip, fellas

[@lilithwills812]

They have a son! I don't have details, I just saw it somewhere, but apparently it was mentioned in some showings of A Spy In The Desert.

[@idiotgay]

it's for their dog

[@klltsun_2576]

Susanna Lain At the end of each show they choose an audience member who Cecil tells a secret to, and only those audience members who had been chosen had known. But once the recording of the show has been put up for sale online, it included Cecil's secret. And that secret is that they had a son for two years. They (the person whom I got this link from) say that it wasn't mentioned on air to protect his privacy growing up. Here's a recording of it fungispouse.tumblr.com/post/190646588735/carlos-and-i-agreed-that-we-cant-share-our

An Intern fell in the line of duty again? It's been nearly fifty episodes since the last time that happened.

[@hwilliams2339]

This is such a fun episode, I'm only halfway through, but the description of Doug Beyondee seriously gave me the creeps, and his little monologue about living in the asylum was amazing (especially the reference to Catch-22!) Edit: (now that I've finished the episode) Omg Doug's note at the end! No spoilers but I got chills, so excited for the next episode

[@C0SM1CPR1NC3]

The first episode in a long time that made me properly nervously sweat. Kinda like to know why Cecil and Carlos were invited, seems odd to have a radio host and a scientist among secret policemen and security members...

[@ericac3817]

I think maybe Sam invited Cecil to come along and do some reporting on the play. That and he and Carlos come as a set.

[@chasedbyvvolves9256]

Plot.

[@klltsun_2576]

Erica C I mean, Cecil IS the radio host of the town, so it makes sense to have him able to report on the play

[@rinalubit]

The description of Sleep No More is actually fully accurate (except the never sleeping again of course) it’s fantastic strongly recommend

[@mgormley7530]

wait, a sitter?! Cecil: goes to a sports game with "the family" Carlos: "And we have -- Oh, you're going to play this on the air, aren't you?" Charles the Theologist: has a child ...I'm starting to think I missed something fairly obvious

[@justeundonut-moi.7979]

Cecil and Carlos have a son ! His name is Esteban. They decided not to talk about him on the radio to keep his privacy.

[@nukulardragon3891]

Its so cool to hear about the plane again and that they are tieing it into the storyline now because to be completely honest i forgot about the plane, i thought it was going ti be just another one of nightvales usualy unusual occurrences but now its a hones to glow cloud plot device its cool to see that PS: Cecil, your voice is amazing

The babysitter isn't for Khoshekh or their dog. Everyone, listen to A Spy In The Desert.

[@klltsun_2576]

Turtle Still Turtle Agreed. Poor Auby doesn't get much attention. Maybe cause people were too distracted by other stuff that was happening when he was first mentioned

What if someone made a printer that worked everytime you wanted it to work? Now Night Vale has had a lot of crazy, fantastical stuff in its time, but this is the craziest, fantasticalest thing of them all. Could you imagine? I can believe in planets illuminated by no sun, in deadly librarians, in a smiling god, but a printer that works everytime you wanted it to work? This is some next level science fiction

[@chasedbyvvolves9256]

I'm calling it now that after that "babysitter" comment they'll start talking about Cecil and Carlo's kid, probably named Charlie (after that one robot/weekend shift manager at the Ralph's guy that I think died) to fit with the next episode. I swear to god if they use that as an exuse to end the show I'm gonna scream, I'm really hoping the writers don't screw us like this and the babysitter was for Aubergine or something

[@stolen_stardust]

h. ann carlos and cecil’s kid is named esteban lol. it was in the last live show (spy in the desert) as a secret that only one audience member per show would get to listen to - and nobody out of the 80 that heard leaked it to the internet. cecil and carlos have had esteban for a while but wanted to keep it private from the radio.
