Joe Kwaczala (comedian) joins the show to tell us about how creating something as a loving tribute doesn't always have its intended result, as Joe's comedy tribute to video game speedrunning documentarian Summoning Salt leads to a block. However, it seems mostly innocent and Joe has come to plead his case as to why the BP Community should help him get unblocked. Meanwhile, Stefan is back from Taiwan and it's our first main episode recorded in-person in nearly a month and it shows as we get a little loopy talking about sucking on coffee beans, getting too high, substitute teaching, and separating the wheat from the chaff. It's also been a minute and Twitter is crumbling by the day so it's a SUPER SOCIAL MEDIA UPDATE as we discuss Nick Adams, the Pepe Deluxe guy, Facebook fan pages, the stupid AI Ryan Reynolds Tesla "ad", and David Draiman of Disturbed continuing to be the most divorced man alive.

If you want to make a commitment to us that you'll never want a divorce from, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This past week, we dropped a Canadian Education episode where we taught our friend Johnny Pemberton about Barenaked Ladies and this week coming up, it's the possible return of our interview series Heck/Cullen (we haven't decided yet. But it'll be cool). Plus you get merch discounts, access to our Discord, and much more. So check it out!
