"No one does a slice like Big Rico's... no one."

[@usernamesrtoostupid]

WTNV is really important to me, therefore the amount of likes and views they get on KZbin worries me. I don't want it to have to end if the creators aren't ready for it to end. It is sad that art has to be like that, but that is how things are at the moment. I want you to be super supported because your art is meaningful and valuable.

[@saddlebag]

I feel like the reason it has so little traction on KZbin is due to people mostly listening through other places (like the podcast app, which is what I use). I only occasionally go to the KZbin upload so I can see what other people are saying in the comments.

[@omgnoooooo]

I thought it was just me, oh my god.

[@noneofyourbusiness4133]

@@omgnoooooonope! General search interest is down by 90% from the series peak and as your scroll back, you can see a valet by viewership on the first several years of the show. I think people got put off by the super mega hyper ping form three and five part stories

[@technopoptart]

unfortunately the bi-monthly upload schedule with two large breaks makes it super hard for people who prefer to listen to a couple episodes at a time, it also isn't friendly for the algorithm that promotes channels with 4-5 updates a week and suppresses channels that have less than 1 update a week. this is also not well advertised so it is going to be difficult to get new people in at a rate larger than people who are turned away for whatever reason. personally i listen maybe 3 times a year because uploads are fairly slow and i want to listen to about 8-10 over the span of a couple days when i do listen in. i cannot imagine i am alone in this as it is a very common thing in television to have several-months breaks between releases of new episodes over a shorter span of days

[@klltsun_2576]

@@technopoptart all those, plus people using other places to listen to it like podcast apps and spotify

[@DANGERINTHEFALLS]

At last, more Welcome to Night Vale. Pizza Edition. Because nobody does a slice like Big Rico. *_NO_* *_ONE_*

[@TomMcMorrow]

"I haven't seen a show like that since I was a teenager, when music was more meaningful because emotions were easier to access" You leave my mid 30s love of pop punk alone! 😂

[@thistlefield24]

I feel like Steve should commiserate with Theresa Nguyen from Dark Owl Records.

[@ab.6223]

oh fuck oh no are we about to get freddied

[@Creativemind28490]

Hehehehe

[@StormVII]

IT'S PIZZA TIME!

THE BITE OF '87

[@Q-werty30]

Feddy

[@marcelostalker]

This had a feel of the first few seasons of WTNV, how... nostalgic.

[@bananaboatcharlie]

Agreed! They really went hard on the satire in this one, which I feel like used to happen a lot more

[@chiaroscuroamore]

Came here to write this! Very nostalgic episode

[@Leoniscordis]

Upon seeing the title and before listening to the episode: I predict we have a FNAF situation in our hands folks

[@roseopheliashepherd8379]

Five nights at Big Rico's when 😂

[@TheGrinningViking]

Steve Carlsburgh sure has a way of saying infuriating forbidden truth.

[@deanwinchester250]

Nightvale has been here since middle school. I adore this fucking podcast. One day I will make money to help.

[@St.Lazarus]

It doesn't matter how terrible my day is going this podcast is such a spark of joy in my life and I cannot thank you enough

[@Vashthestampdee]

Big Rico's Pizza Place is the best place to grab a pizza. No one does a Pizza like Rico's. NO ONE.

[@chillsahoy2640]

Five Nights at...Big Rico's?

[@bubblesbutterfly1235]

Ahhahahah 😂😂😂 he really said “Chrissy cockroach” oh my gosh such a riot! So much fun🤣🤣🤣

[@bubblesbutterfly1235]

Yay!!!! Hello from Texas

[@HoodieHorizon]

was planning on going to bed at a reasonable hour, eh, who this is more important

[@EdenHellCipher]

You have your priorities in order, Interloper! 💜

[@JazzyO3O]

I always look forward to WTNV! Aagh hope it never ends so soon.

[@demetriusoconnor8149]

love this show so much

[@xanate_9106]

listening to night vale brings me back to car rides in middle school :')

[@fififacehsomething5235]

Oh yeah! This just reminded me that I have a Welcome to Night Vale book that i need to read

[@ladymartini]

here bc it’s not on Spotify yet lololol

[@joesinger2032]

It is on Spotify though(?)

[@ladymartini]

@@joesinger2032 it wasn’t when i posted this comment lmfao

[@0therun1t21]

I can't sleep due to reasons so I really need a bedtime story, thank you!

[@gamingvampireking1704]

I'm a little late but as always... ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY GLOW CLOUD

[@martinalarroza5835]

Cecil's giggle at 4:22 gives me life❤❤

[@joesinger2032]

Amazing as always! Makes me grave a piece of pizza which is... good 😂😂😂😂

[@EayuProuxm]

Skittering cockroach as percussion is a good idea actually. Really captures a syncopated rhythm

[@schizofrenzia1884]

No one out pizzas the hut...no one

[@SiiriCressey]

In my head there is a connection between Night Vale + a certain twenty-four hour gas station. No, not that one - the shitty one on the edge of town. I don't know what the connection is, but it is there.

[@idomeyoudoyou9102]

The lack of Comments is very disturbing This Show is awesome!!!

[@hawk222]

...Huh, kinda surprised at the overall lack of FNAF comments. Guess there's not much overlap between the 2 fandoms?

[@Airheadl0ser]

I like ram to KZbin to see what people are commenting. I just listen to this on spotify.

[@mauriciobarauna9063]

Hello guys, someone can explain what "waxy visage" meaning? I think we dont have this term in Portuguese

[@Jay-ho9io]

Um rosto muito pálido e oleoso.

[@thepresence365]

I am confused at Cecil acknowledging the opposite of what his Physics professor used to tell him (causation, and etc...) - I'm also concerned about the proverb being repeated 😮

[@Hchris101]

How they still at it 😱

[@FunnyYouTubethings]

Markiplier if he went to big Rico's be like: WAS THAT THE BITE OF NIGHT VALE?!?!?!

[@galladegamerletsplays]

oh boy, it's Five Nights At Rico's

[@Q-werty30]

Feddy fast beer

[@Biohazbird]

*"We're waiting every night to finally roam and invite Newcomers to sing with us We've been watching our stonks all alone We're forced to be still and play with c4 and with open flame 'Til we reach that fateful day Our investments in wheat by-products pay!"*

[@RyuuKageDesu]

I'm surprised UWII didn't ruin anything tonight.

[@thenameless2379]

Big Rico's Pizza is FNAF.

[@thenameless2379]

Why does big rico goldblum sound like Hunter from The Owl House?

[@abracadaverous]

Is this the same Weather as last week?

[@kelthulhu]

I think it was in the original upload of last week's episode by mistake. The reupload has a different weather but I know I've heard the song before.

[@bubblesbutterfly1235]

I definitely wanna get raptured when Jesus comes back! To get raptured into the abyss😳 no thank you😂😂😂

[@idonthavealottosay]

five nights at freddy's is this where you wanna be i just don't get it
