On this week’s Welcome to Night Vale episode Cecil is determined to tell you all about his date night at this awesome little bee-filled restaurant, but his producer wishes we could stick to the Top. Story. CECIL.

(Seeing as how the top story is Tabitha the Town Founder stomping around town EATING PEOPLE, his producer may have a point.)

After the recap we jump into Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 episode 5, “Starbase 80?!”, which is full of corn dogs and zombies licking things, and man alive the animators on that show never miss a trick.

Then we wrap up with a quick word about Wednesday season 2, because that show has some impressive stunt casting that we can’t talk about because spoilers. But we do go off on a lot of tangents like ranch dressing, horror movie plans, and Chat GPT getting its poor fee fees hurt GET OVER YOURSELF, Open AI, at this point you’re just three ponzi schemes in a trench coat.

This episode’s outro is a clip from Work it Out by 1000 Handz.

This is Sag-Aftra’s statement about Tilly Norwood the AI “actress” and how its creators can go jump in a lake.
