192 - It Doesn't Hold Up

[@bananaboatcharlie]

Cecil: So I watched Cat Ballou. Me: Sounds good, Cecil. Cecil: There was a man with a narrow eyed, thin grin looking at the camera... Me, nodding: Uh-huh, yep. Cecil: The man's lips moved, but it was hard to hear behind the droning hissng of the owls... Me, backing away from my phone nodding faster: *Uh-huh, yep* Cecil: He approaches a tree that looks familiar. Me, throwing my phone into the milk drawer and running into the sunset: *UH-HUH, YEP. SOUNDS GOOD, CECIL*

[@IceQueen975]

I feel like we're slowly beginning to learn about Cecil's past and I'm here for it.

with this episode, i am finally all caught with Welcome to Night Vale. A friend recommended this show to me, earlier this year, and after many months, i am finally at the most recent episodes. I have been going through a difficult transitional period of my life recently, and i am so grateful for the escape, WTNV.

[@AdaSoto]

Welcome to the fun.

OH MY GOD HIS DAD WAS THE KID FROM HIS CHILDHOOD BEDTIME STORY

[@no-name-eu3ew]

the references/connections to ep 182 here... effervescent. the way they set up plot lines and connect everything continues to astound me. can’t wait to see where they bring this one! 💜

[@TheStickdragon]

I have a theory about it connecting to Kellogs and the story of the boy under the tree, i beleive that boy is Cecil

[@thewetlaundrythatsstilliny5031]

still can't believe i am here in less than half an hour of it being uploaded and not 3 years as usual

My dog was mighty confused when Helen was 'speaking' he kept walking around the room and tilting his head.

The best part about having a birthday on August 15th is a birthday gift of a new episode from Welcome To Night Vale!

[@moon.r.ise.]

Happy birthday :D🎂

[@SirSadness]

My b-day was three days ago, may I share this moment with you?

[@FrequentFlyer815]

@@SirSadness of course! Happy belated birthday!

[@lilaboxx]

I recently realized that a character from a novel / comic also has hist birthday on August 15th and he canonically loves night vale 😂 Late happy birthday

[@FrequentFlyer815]

@@lilaboxx who? And what novel/comic???

[@LordDarkrai2000]

The bird lady's book sounds riveting.

[@0therun1t21]

Whooo! This is a happy surprise, time to get my kitty off the ceiling and cuddle.

[@SirSadness]

What a great interview! She was wonderful.

All these years, and they're still serving horror this sweet.

[@cicada8450]

I hope you continue for a long, NV. You have been the best escape from reality out there. I've been listening along for maybe 6 years now, and I glad to be part of this weird little community.

[@DarcyTheLunatic]

"please tell us about your new book" "HHHHHEEEHEEKFFKZKHZKHEKSDFKZHFZHK" im cRYING i wasn't expecting that hahahahha

[@OpinionsNoOneCaresAbout]

Wow...I never knew Helen Mirren hated Judi Dench so much. Or maybe she doesn't. My "Songbirds in a Colombian rainforest" is kind of rusty.

[@Q-werty30]

I’m calling it before I watch the next episode: I owls killed Cecil’s dad… much like his mother said mirrors would kill Cecil..

[@musicmanxii]

Haven't listened in since like episode 60 haha, just gonna dive right in to the latest one

[@ari638]

This one makes more sense if you've listened to 182 :)

[@katescandle6798]

This actually gives me life

[@jamesehlenfeldt7132]

Damn. What hauntingly beautiful episode.

[@Mussoi7000]

[@gabrielleflores1417]

I’m so happy you guys haven’t stopped making episodes!! >:D

[@janeeggleston9542]

This refers back to episode 182, It Sticks With You.

[@canteventhough]

Smudgeman sounds like Hannibal Lector down to the weird chewing motion.

[@likopinina6803]

note to myself this is the first episode that I listen to on the day it was released

[@chotchytochy]

So... the owls are not what they seem?

[@supercali-fragilisticaespi8865]

[@starboi7719]

[@tamlandipper29]

Not having a go at the creators, but just want to check. Did anyone else get at least three advertising slots with two ads each?

[@thistlefield24]

I think that's more of a youtube thing. Ad block is your friend

[@ThePhant0m100]

Didn't get a single one

[@TrickiVicBB71]

That is pretty messed up. White guy playing a First Nation person (in the audio)
