Summary

Connor Ratliff (Dead Eyes) joins the show and it's a classic, as Connor runs us through a multi-year bit that culminated in a satire Twitter account he ran getting blocked by the well-known author of "Game Change", John Heilemann. We try to get to the bottom of that as we discuss what got people upset about Dead Eyes, weird new candies, and talk of the George Lucas Talk Show takes us down a deep Star Wars rabbit hole as John reveals that Limp Bizkit got to see the premiere of Phantom Menace at Skywalker Ranch and somehow this also leads Stefan to reveal (again) that he ate dry cat food as a child. Plus, Connor starts making online comics to cope with the general state of online, Stefan goes to TwitchCon in Vegas, and Ice-T drops some more wonderful knowledge on Twitter. If you want more wonderful knowledge for your own beautiful brain, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every damn month. Last week, Dana Smith rejoined the show for a great mailbag episode, and coming up TOMORROW, it's the start of what will be the greatest bonus episodes in Blocked Party history. You simply cannot miss it. We also have ad-free episodes, merch discounts, and a bunch more, so don't delay! Connor Ratliff is a comedian and the host of the very popular podcast Dead Eyes, which if you haven't listened to it, you simply must. Right now. He also starred on the new show In the Cards, available now wherever you get your pods. You can follow Connor on Twitter and Instagram at @connorratliff. Learn more about your ad choices.
