Lauren L. Walker (writer/podcaster) joins the show to demonstrate that the best way to get blocked by Ricky Gervais is to write one of his jokes for him.

Elsewhere on the episode, Lauren drops a controversial food take as we talk Tums, gourmet dog food, bad breakfasts, bad doctors, bad museums, Bone Bone, and Hawked Party 2021 somehow becomes more of a reality.If you want your 2021 to have a bit more party in it, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every single month.
