Libby Watson (writer, The New Republic) joins the show as we begin the countdown to the big 100 with one of our favorite types of blocks, one from a man who loves to wear bad hats! We strike a victory for the Bad Hat Haters, as Libby makes fun of his demotion for being a creep and manages to get blocked by his writing partner as well. We double your fun on this episode, and the Blocked Boys also find time to double down on Garfield Eats with a phenomenal listener block. Elsewhere on the show, we get into video game speedruns, villages of the UK, maskless dating, the worst pizza we've ever seen, and we learn that real men do, in fact, control their bowels.
 
If you are in control of your life, you can really show it off by donating to us at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where we have lots of exciting things happening this month. We just posted a bonus episode with Kath Barbadoro where John gets blocked by a Minor League baseball team, and we've got a super special, multiple-episode feature launching at the end of August you won't wanna miss. PLUS, we have just gotten started in our new venture to get freelance writers paid, as we've got Guest Newsletters on our Patreon in addition to ones written by John and Stefan. It's $4/month just for newsletters (5 per month!), $5 just for bonus episodes (3 per month!), or $8 for both! It's fun for the whole family and we've got tons of great content planned for the coming months, so join us, won't you?
