Blake Anderson's California Hangouts

California Now Podcast

On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Soterios Johnson chats with comedian and actor Blake Anderson. Known for creating the Comedy Central shows Workaholics and Game Over, Man!, Anderson has lived all across the Golden State, from the suburbs of the East Bay to Orange County and Los Angeles.

In 2020, Anderson launched the weekly podcast, This Is Important, with his best friends and Workaholics costars Adam Devine, Anders Holm, and Kyle Newacheck. In it, they discuss “serious” topics such as video games, pickleball, and embarrassing anecdotes. During his conversation with Johnson, Anderson shares memorable stories from his time on the show, a few dozen restaurant recommendations—he really loves Mexican food—and timely tips for attending Bay Area sporting events.

The Concord native also took the California Questionnaire, answering a series of rapid-fire questions about his love for the Golden State­––including his go-to road trip and opinions on the best-ever California song.
