I feel Maureen falling asleep in a back room at a party on a deep spiritual level

[marbeltoast]

"I know that some of the best things I've ever found have been here. Michelle for one." This is the best thing ever. I am euphoric.

[eddyangstman]

Hey people of Nightvale watch out Mat is about to eat you, oh god they can't hear me they have air pods on oh god.

[ericac]

Aw, Deb's a sad drunk :(
I hope she's okay

[IceQueen]

If the DMV wanted to get back together, they shouldn't have stopped automatically mailing me my car registry and tags. =.=

[polkarrty]

[obligatoryprofile]

can anyone summarise the weather report for me? all i heard was a chorus of voices repeating the word 'dig' louder and louder until my headphones blew out. i need to know what to wear today

[polkarrty]

Is the department of Motor Vehicles trying to get back together with me?

[rainbowzebra]

Yes! So excited to be caught up! Deb drunk calling was amazing! Weather happened pretty early in this episode, huh? I hate parties too, Michelle. Aww, Maureen is so sweet and it sounds like she has synesthesia which is super cool! Have a great day :)

[malaizze]

Finally, the script books emerge from the mud-womb and into the desert sun!

[Wintermelon]

“I don’t have money to pay my bills and it’s your fault”—that sounds like something that I would say to my mother...(???)

[tobequitefranco]

I think it’s kind of hilarious that the credits list her still as Intern Maureen

[leightwinter]

i feel like the DMV is telling me that i need to get my drivers' license finally

[satsfallingdown]

Finally, after a month and a half, 141 episodes and two novels I am finally caught up on this fantastic podcast. Though now I'm faced with a problem, being that I have no idea what to do with my time.

[giulia]

"I mean, all parties are born out of some form of desperation" i have no ideia why but that made me lose it so hard

[jordanjoestar]

Hearing from the DMV hit me in the feels don't worry I'll be sure to renew my permit soon as it's going to expire shortly anyways.

[malaizze]

We've cleansed our populous of airpod users.

[Echos.Art.Corner]

I have officially caught up! After today, I shall be listening to the episodes as they are birthed, so excited!!!
(Edit: DOWN WITH THE AIR-PODS BRETHREN)

[sleepyselkiesiren]

"Ask a friend if they need anything" ...dude I'm already planning to go visit my friend in the hospital cause they're bored... what more do you want?!

Also HARRY POTTER AND THE SACRED TEXTS?!?! My English teacher just made us listen to one of those! The timing of this is frightening

[GiovanniCloud]

I hate that Maureen poured coffee on Cecil's laptop despite all he's done to help her. I know that his reading the advertisement from a competing record store is a slap in the face for Dark Owl Records, but what is Cecil supposed to do? She didn't even apologize for what she did to Cecil at the end of the episode.
