Summary

Amar Singh (comedian) makes his first appearance on the show to tell us about a time when self-help just went way, way too far and he had to do some blocking to take care of it. Amar is a comedian, but perhaps more importantly, he is John's former student. So we talk to Amar about being in John's class and getting John to book him his first stand-up gig, which has now led to a career in comedy, for better or worse. We also discuss Amar struggling to find a job due to AI, which of course leads Stefan to create some AI Yodas and also show us a nasty picture he found of a really big Nintendo fan. Plus, Amar also loves the sad cat videos we discussed with Libby Watson on our most recent bonus episode, and the Oasis reunion has us revisiting some of their funniest moments of the last decade including Liam Gallagher's meeting with Paul McCartney, his interview with a kindergarten class, and making their own tea. If you want to hear some more tea, we're spilling it all over the place over at patreon.com/blockedparty! $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every damn month including the aforementioned Libby Watson episode that just came out last week, where John had to do the blocking due to an insane Jeopardy! fan. We also do ad-free episodes, have an exclusive Discord, and MORE! And a reminder of BP Live! It's Top Three Weekend II with our friends at Not Even a Show and Guys, Bryan Quinby and Chris James! Live at Vancouver's Biltmore Cabaret on October 11 and 12. Weekend passes are available now at bit.ly/top3weekend, and as announced on the show, individual show tickets will go on sale on 9/11 at 10 am PT. Don't miss out!
