Episode 70: Kate Willett v. John Cusack

Kate Willett (comedian) joins us for our first-ever fully remote episode, as John, Stefan, and Dan all observe social distancing despite living 5 minutes away from each other. The episode is understandably a bit COVID-heavy, as we make sense of this new world around us, ponder whether this will finally prompt the United States to make changes to their healthcare system, and worry that any sign of diarrhea will be a harbinger of bad things to come. But the Blocked Boys manage to stray off-topic too as we try to make some light of our situations and get into nephews, video games, cooking, and Kate tells us about self-isolating with a brand-new partner plus a very redemptive Block Tale. If you want to redeem yourself in self-isolation, you can do so by donating $5/month to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty. That $5 will bring you our entire back catalogue, which features over 40 episodes and this week will bump up to 20 newsletters. Plus your $5 grants access to our Discord server, which has started its own quarantine content with some online gaming and a lively chat. We want to make sure you have all the Blocked Boy content you need in these trying times, and we're gonna keep producing bonus episodes as we can. SPEAKING of bonus content, we're also going to be doing our first-ever Blocked Party Live!(ish) this FRIDAY, March 27th. Join us at 10 pm EST/7 pm PST on Zoom as we present the live show we wanted to do a week ago, but couldn't because of the virus. Send us your info at [email protected] and we'll make sure you get the invite for what should be a great show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
