Alex Schmidt (Secretly Incredibly Fascinating) is most likely our nicest guest ever and comes down into the internet trenches with the Blocked Boys to tell the tale of how he was blocked by the "Today I Learned" subreddit for having the audacity to have his listeners cite his podcast when posting facts on their subreddit. It's truly one of the more baffling blocks in show history, but makes for a great Tale. And Alex makes for a great guest as we discuss time zones, Alex leaving Twitter, and a conversation about the Grammys leads to the fellas deciding they're going to try and win one. Also not to be missed is Stefan putting in a virtuoso performance on the Learned League "Iconic Tweets" quiz and it's John behind the wheel of "Real or Fake" as he puts Stefan and Alex to the test with a taco restaurant's insane menu that our friend Bryan Quinby showed us a few weeks ago.
If you want something real, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. Yesterday, we released the first video episode of "Stefan Takes an L", the soon-to-be recurring series where Stefan learns how to drive, and John teaches him. In this episode, Stefan takes his written test...does he pass? Or will the nerves get to him, knowing that if he fails, the entire internet will laugh at him? You'll have to donate to find out!
Alex Schmidt is a former multi-day Jeopardy! champion and the host of Secretly Incredibly Fascinating, a great podcast about facts. You can find that show wherever you get your podcasts, and you can follow Alex on Twitter (while you still can) at @AlexSchmidty and on Instagram at @alexschmidtstagram.
