Katie Burrell (comedian/actor) joins the show for the first time for a double dip of Block Tales, as she sets out to make a video for two ski brands and neither of them like it. Don't worry, it's 100% the brands' fault, and Katie gets into it here as she teaches us a lot about skiing on this one. We discuss Katie's history with stand-up comedy and skiing and how that led her into becoming the world's foremost "Leisure Athlete", awkward high school reading aloud experiences, the worst things we've eaten, and bombing down black diamonds. Plus, Katie describes trying to promote her debut feature film, Stefan plays us a clip from Reacher, and John runs into a heartwarming "Old Twitter"-style moment over on his timeline.
