Blake Griffin has a torn meniscus and a strong desire to be everyone’s favorite, post-Shaq “funny athlete”, so he’s got a lot of free time to show up on YouTube chat shows and joke about being home schooled. Today’s appearance is on ‘Metaphysical Milkshake’, the latest effort from SoulPancake and The Office star Dwight Schrute Rainn Wilson. It’s one part Between Two Ferns, two parts Jon Benjamin Has A Van and minus three parts Zach Galifianakis and H. Jon Benjamin.

Here’s a pic of Luc Robitaille presenting Dwight with his tickets, or one of the Blues Brothers getting a gift from Jason Bateman, I can’t really tell because they Instagram’d it and they might as well have been standing in a 1970s sandstorm:
