Every Time You're On

Description

The "You listen to my show?" / "Every time you're on!" exchange was kinda puzzling when I first heard it. Cecil and Carlos had been dating for months by that point -- and Cecil was only finding this out now? Had they really never talked about his work before?

Still, it was sweet to know that Carlos was that invested in his boyfriend. Whether it was about sharing Cecil's interest in news, or not sharing the interest but appreciating that it was important to Cecil, or just enjoying the sound of Cecil's voice, it was a positive sign.

...And since then, canon has given us at least four instances of Carlos not knowing things that were explicitly spelled out on the show. Often more than once.

(That last example also has Carlos poking fun at Cecil for not being able to limit what he shares on-air...when we know Cecil can restrain himself from sharing personal information about Carlos. We've heard it in both Condos and Orange Grove.)

If Carlos just didn't care about Cecil's job, that would be one thing. It's healthy for couples to have different interests! But why give Cecil (and the listeners) a false impression that he's paying more attention than he is?

And he hasn't managed to pick up any of this news from his personal conversations with Cecil, either. Do they just not talk about anything (other than Carlos's latest research), or what?

Transcript

Condos
Cecil:
You listen to my show?
Carlos: Every time you're on!

Summer Reading Program
Cecil:
The brave children who managed not to get eaten fought their way out of the building, covered in librarian guts . . .

The Librarian

Carlos: Why would we need to be afraid of librarians?

Various Dana Episodes
Cecil: I got another text from Dana, listeners. She's been without a phone charger for months, and we're not really sure where she is, but her phone has kept working this whole time.

Old Oak Doors
Carlos:
How could I possibly call you from way out here with Dana? There's no cell towers or wifi, and I have to save my battery!

Dana episodes, cont.
Cecil:
You remember former Intern Dana? She was trapped in the forbidden Dog Park, then made her way to a vast plain with a mountain . . .

Voicemail
Carlos:
Exciting news, Cecil! I just made the important new discovery that you can get here through the Dog Park!

Condos again
Cecil:
And then he said . . . Listeners . . . he thinks I shouldn't tell you everything.

Voicemail
Carlos:
I'm sure everyone who listens to your show will hear this as soon as I tell you . . . which would upset me, but being a blabbermouth is part of who you are, and there's no way to stop it! (Insults don't count if I say them in a jokey tone of voice, right?)

CONCLUSION: Carlos is so full of it.
