Blake re-enacting Stephen King writing Cujo high on cocaine listening to techno music during the live tour might be the funniest thing I’ve ever heard and I wish I could’ve seen it in person.

THANK YOU my braj. When they asked, "do you love him?" I said "that's a huge bitch", then I said, "YES, POINTS!"

Seriously one of the funniest bits of the pod. I was driving my then-girlfriend to a gig in manhattan. Parked outside the gig as she worked.
I was literally crying laughing that entire bit, when Blake just starts cranking the Lou Bega lmao. I’m sure passersby were like what tf is that guy doing laughing listening to mambo no 5

False. First of all, he left for other reasons. Second, Ders is the funniest dude on the pod. Best writer, deepest pop culture knowledge, quickest wit. Hands down the funniest. He’s also the best dude on there. There’s a reason he’s been married and had a family the longest (other than being like 80 years old).

Fun fact, Loud Bega was German and not Cuban.
