Heatwave tucks his chin over the top of Chase's helm and tries to vent properly.
He should've seen that coming. He should've stopped them from going, he should've known where they were, they should've never been put in danger.
But no, whenever he needed to see something, needed to know when something would happen-
Nothing.
Fucking nothing.
Heatwave pulls him closer and Chase's finials flick. He's real, okay, alive.
But next time he might not be.
And it's driving him crazy.

Hi, everyone!
Mike Birbiglia's new podcast episode is out, and he's got Pete Holmes on again—excellent!
This is a wonderful discussion of comedy by two greats, and Pete brings up Jerrod Carmichael's Rothaniel twice 🙌🏼
Here's a beautiful explanation of the HBO comedy special at 44 minutes in.
Pete: Do you think Jerrod Carmichael felt fantastic after he did Rothaniel? And what a fucking gift it is.
Mike: Yeah, it is a gift.
Pete: And you, when you do all your shows, I'm not just saying...
Mike: I think that special is a gift.
Pete: It is. It's a work of art!
Mike: That's an example of someone who—and if people haven't seen Rothaniel, uh, I don't want to...spoiler alert, if you read about it, he comes out of the closet in the special.
Pete: 20 minutes in.
Mike: Yeah. And...it is a gift because he doesn't have to do that.
Pete: Nope!
Mike: It only has ramifications on his life that are complicated with his mom, people who he's close to, and that's challenging. Those are real challenges. And he gives it to the audience.
Pete: That's the risk, and that's what you're trying to model...I'm trying to model to them. I say in my act, "I'm scared...of my dad." And then I also say some truth and hopefully, not consciously, but somewhere in there they're going, "we can be scared and do it anyway." And that's kinda the whole thing.
What a lovely description of Jerrod's special and the power of onstage vulnerability!
And if you want more info on Rothaniel, you have come to the right place! I was lucky enough to attend a taping (one of 4 that Bo Burnham masterfully edited together), and I have audience interviews here.
Enjoy the podcast episode, and keep it here for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

The thing that I love the most about Doctor Who is that it’s just SOOOOOO bad. It’s awful. It’s dreadful. It’s cheesy and stupid and terrible. It has dialogue like “I am the beep of all the meeps!” It’s truly the most embarrassing cringeworthy thing you’ve ever seen. It’s been that way for 60 years. It’s gonna be that way for another 60. It doesn’t matter what kind of budget or fan base they receive. It’s always gonna be this stupid.
I love it so fucking much.

i do think merlin and arthur had the perfect dynamic. an episode would end with arthur being like merlin you're my closest friend and confidante and the greatest man i've ever met. and merlin would be like i'd kill and die for you we are two sides of the same coin. and then you'd start the next episode and it would begin with arthur smacking merlin upside the head and calling him an ugly peasant and merlin calling arthur a fat idiot.
