Is this the first ever Twitch streamer guest on This Is Your Afterlife? I believe it is! But comedian Case Blackwell (from sketch group Cigarette Sandwich) is much more than a streamer. I've known him a while, and I was surprised by most of our conversation. Take a listen to hear a brilliant silly guy get vulnerable.

Content warning: ALS, dementia, parents dying, masculinity, shedding layers of anxiety, realizations while eating and driving, EarthBound pond memories.

Watch Case's bonkers, very funny one-man-news-team stream on Twitch most days at twitch.tv/caseblackwell.

You can find him on most social media @caseblackwell, including Instagram and Twitter.

Check out Case's sketch group Cigarette Sandwich on Instagram, @cigsandwich. Their recent Jurassic Park sketch is incredible, and without exaggeration, I believe Septembert, the Calendar Salamander is one of the greatest sketches of all time. Watch it now.
