Carlos being a gamer is my favorite continued integration of anything.

[@MySerpentine]

They should remove the moon from this episode's thumbnail.

[@jessicapriester8861]

"Your internship will find you" is the most threatening statement I've heard in a while. RIP Carol

[@omgnoooooo]

I love it when Cecil goes on a tangent and you forget what he's talking about... Then you look at your device in horror as if the writer can see your reaction... And then he announces that "This has been traffic." It gets me every time.

[@Biowoman.]

Lmao, Carlos playing Elden Ring 😂

[@BushBumperBaker]

23 hours a day x'D

[@Shinji_Dai]

So the other Kareem managed to find Night Vale? I'd say that didn't take long, but time is weird, so who knows.

[@lilaboxx]

At least he got a phone connection

[@largo778]

I agree with those tipping tips, especially the one about fake 20s

[@panth753]

As someone who worked the restaurant business, I'm also in total agreement.

[@i.wannabe.m.e]

As someone who owns a pet bird, I am also in total agreement.

[@megatrixel6121]

As someone who is dead, I too am also in total agreement.

[@lilaboxx]

Do people really do this? That sucks so much

[@grenwood6551]

As someone who has been tipped trees, apples, fake/play money, flower bulbs, coupons, a tampon, and other miscellaneous inappropriate items.. what, why has no one ever offered me a bird?!

[@Sekhubara]

Yes! I'm FINALLY caught up on WTNV! I love you guys. You'll be a cult classic. I feel like Night Vale is a part of my traditions.

[@i.wannabe.m.e]

It’s gonna be quite the episode whenever Night Vale mentions the Moon.

[@lilaboxx]

I just relistened to radio Jupiter yesterday because it popped into my head... The TIMING OF THIS EPISODE! I love it SO MUCH AAAAAA THIS WAS A BRILLIANT EPISODE

[@StormVII]

*Looks into the sky and is unable to see the moon at that exact moment because something's covering it up* ...Shit

[@Labinzel]

I *always* tip birds, do you? *DO YOU?*

[@verdantViridity]

...You know, it was always a given that Cecil is the voice of Night Vale, but maybe that could be taken more literally. Maybe it could be said that Cecil's also the mind of Night Vale. Like, if his personality were what you'd get if the town community were a hivemind weighing against his own unique experiences.

[@rpteentitans11]

Wow. That was a great description of sleep paralysis

[@mushroomladyy]

i love that this was posted on a new moon!!

[@janosrock]

SHES BAAAAAAAACK I KNEW IT!!!! i knew she was coming back! :D :D: D :D i have no idea why i am so happy about it, but i really missed her.

[@Forgot2Save]

You won't miss her for long. The woman from Italy knows where you are. She remembers those things that you've forgotten. She does not like that you have forgotten. She will remind you.

[@lilaboxx]

I literally relistened to radio Jupiter yesterday because I had to think about her

[@j_freeman3230]

Wait, was the moon ever there

[@UserRedZero]

Someone took the moon!? _Bruh, wtf, put it back!_

[@moon.r.ise.]

They: *mention the moon* Me: 🏃‍♀️

[@Rudero3]

Someone should remind Carlos that the only way to solve the moon problems is to play Bloodborne again, not Elden Ring.

[@phleughbotomy4324]

that weather was literally perfect omg.. awesome song

[@blackwlf]

I got badly ill right about the same time the Faceless Old Woman came out on audiobook. It kept me great company in the hospital, and caused me to get (and keep!) and audible subscription. Great book.

[@zacwolfe6701]

First time being caught up with a new episode! This feels great!

[@escuros2]

Me too! Love listening to this!

[@0therun1t21]

Thank you for another wonderful show!

[@tracydowd9447]

Great episode all around. Loved "Us in the Woods" on the weather!

[@nolongerzombiedoe4729]

first off: a follow on from my first ever episode!! second: this feels like the beginning of an end. there will be a climax soon. its giving me very *Delta* or *The Missing Sky* vibes.

[@lilaboxx]

I mean they're definitely building up to the next anniversary / "season" finale episode in June and it's probably going to be something big since it's their 10 year anniversary. I don't think it's an ending but it's definitely going to be a resolution to some plot points

[@voidcat8185]

Ok Aradia

[@TrickiVicBB71]

@@lilaboxx 10 years now?! Holy cow I have been watching forever

[@lilaboxx]

@@TrickiVicBB71 yeah they started in 2012 🥺

[@captainxit5573]

YEEEEESSSSSS!!!! I Love That Carlos Is Playin' Elden Ring! Good Luck Fellow Tarnished!

[@TomMcMorrow]

So happy you're back to season arcs. I personally wasn't a fan of the problem of the week episode format. Like this style a lot! Also, money is actually 75% cotton and 25% linen. No trees necessary!

[@noneofyourbusiness4133]

SAME. I adore this way WAY more!

[@lilaboxx]

I honestly love how it changes from time to time, I really appreciate the mix of standalone episodes and bigger season arcs

[@jayhudson3257]

What’s Carlos’s opinion on the moon veil katana, very important issue that needs to be addressed

[@wynnt1]

YEEEEESSSS! PREACH ABOUT THE TIPS!

[@therinlucas1931]

Are the people over at Jeep doing okay? Also that sleep paralysis segment was horrific, thank you. This weather is so good wow, another one for the personal weather playlist! :D Also also, that "And yet" part hits different.

[@nicholasheideman9572]

Fun fact the Creator suffered from sleep paralysis and talked about it in his book

[@therinlucas1931]

@@nicholasheideman9572 Oh damn I did not know that. No wonder it sounded so... personal....

[@SirSadness]

I teared up when I heard her voice!

[@hellosweetie6212]

I have a copy of The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly l Lives in your home. It's an amazing read. It tells the story of the faceless old woman and her life.. I was luck to get a signed copy. It is one of my most treasured books

[@Bala_Niranna]

fuck, the sheer amount of deep cuts and old references lately

[@lilaboxx]

Did anyone else get Gunpowder Tim Vs the Moon Kaiser vibes from the title xD And that kids is why we don't have a moon anymore

[@scouttyra]

That was my first thought! Had to check the comments for if anyone else also thought it, even though I'm not caught up.

[@lilaboxx]

@@scouttyra I'm glad I'm not alone

[@ShadowyKatz]

Dude, I so forgot about them

[@Nyexcellente]

Carlos Is 100% playing Elden Ring with a dex/int build

[@olympus10001]

the Mario voice interview was very delightful indeed :)

[@carlosthesciencebish3846]

The Sleep paralysis coat thing freaked the shit out of me, now I can’t stop stop staring at my fucking coat hanging on my door…

[@lpsotakutrash]

I already love Lady Jupiter, will she be in your live performance that you guys are doing? Still super excited to see you guys live with my husband ♡

[@felixcosm]

A portal on the moon Hmm sounds familiar 🎂 Also I hope Carlos beat the boss lmao

[@thedeserts]

i will not take any moon slander

[@lilaboxx]

Same, the moon is my wife!!

[@scouttyra]

Wait, didn't the moon get exploded first a few centuries in the future ago?

[@lilaboxx]

Still a possibility 👀

[@RaysofLight98]

I'm probably the only one that felt angry for Michigan Keerem, aren't I? He kidnapped his parents. He clearly 'doesn't understand' that this has crossed a line.

[@OpinionsNoOneCaresAbout]

What about Esteban, though?

[@IceQueen975]

Cicel: The Moon is gone! Me: WHY DID YOU LOSE MY MOM!?

[@conechiwa7]

Salad and bread!! 😆

[@kayligo]

Things will end...maybe not well but they will end....

[@jaydizzel105]

Jeffrey, please plug the shows and books at the end, i cant get immersed and it ruins the vibe

[@AnCoolUsername]

Wow, there is a video of Chris Prat explaining how he auditioned for Mario?

[@Definetlynothuman]

How do you know what hot metal tastes like

[@ErurainonTheWhite]

Getting major Space Odyssey vibes. Now, where’s HAL??

[@thumbsup8985]

👍

[@rosannedoyle1262]

You should tip birds. You don't tip birds? How embarrassing

[@grenwood6551]

I want to be tipped a bird!

[@brightlight3276]

Didn’t even realise this series was still going on…
