What time is it?
it’s time for me to hyperfixate on Bo Burnham’s new special Inside for the next month

Turning 30 is my absolute favorite song in Bo Burnham's new show. I found Bo back in middle school back when What. released. I obsessed over the amount of work and practice and dedication that took into each show. I watched his old clips on YouTube and constantly thought about how close in age I was to bo in the old videos. He found a passion to pour his heat into at 18 and I was so excited to be 18. Now that I’m 19, I still compare myself to Bo’s age. Not only in the fact we look at people our age and compare our life stages, but also in that our accomplishments are less spectacular without our age.
In Inside, the number 27 reappears throughout the special. We first see it in White Woman’s Instagram with the balloons in the background and we see it again when Bo talks about his grandpa in Turning 30.
