Blocked Party

BONUS: Stefan Hell 5: The Mystery of the Colossus w/ Dan O'Sullivan

Wed, 22 Jul 2026 16:46:00 -0000

It's been a minute, so let's keep you updated on what's happening on our Patreon: a new episode type called "Stefan Hell", where Stefan is in charge of the episode, from planning its content to booking its guest. As you might imagine, this has led to several tours through IWasPoisoned.com as well as other things that generally torture John, but this is perhaps the episode that suits an audio-only medium the best. Stefan tries, through painstaking investigation, to determine what Joey meant when he said he was going to review "The Colossus". It leads to some intense speculation and as Dan puts it in the episode, "trenchant analysis" of one of the leaders in YouTube fast food review.

Listen to this episode for free, and then check out all the other Stefan Hell episodes (with video) and many more over on our Patreon, as we're still releasing 3 new episodes per month with all your favorite episode types like the mailbag, BP Classics, The Canadian Education Programme, and many more!

It's our 7th Annual Enemies List, where we take a look back on the year that was to see if our Enemies List from last year got their proper comeuppance over the last 365 days, and we chart a course for next year with regards to the people and the things that we hate.

Mon, 25 Aug 2025 16:36:00 -0000

It's a little Monday surprise to cap off your summer, as we hit you with another FREE BP bonus episode. For those of you who haven't been following along, we've brought back the "BP Classic" format to our Patreon, doing occasional episodes with the BP format you know and love. Social media updates, blocks, a Top 3...it's all here. And we started it off in style back in March as Dan Duvall (comedian) guested on the show with one of the most insane blocks we've ever heard in the entire run of the show. We couldn't NOT share it with you! We also discuss what happens when your joke goes viral on Instagram, reminisce about old Twitter, and Stefan gives us an Elon Musk update that I'm sure was cool to talk about back in March when we initially did this episode.

You can join the Patreon now and never miss another new episode of the show! We're doing tons of fun stuff over at patreon.com/blockedparty and it's just $5/month for 3 bonus episodes every single month, including our brand-new series "Stefan Hell" where Stefan takes over the show, booking the guests and deciding the topic.

Wed, 01 Jan 2025 07:13:00 -0000

You didn't think we would mess with tradition, did you? The main show may be dead, but our hatred never dies. We are back with the 6th annual Enemies List, where we take a look back on our 2024 Enemies and decide if they ate enough crap to have been defeated by us, and we look ahead to 2025 and wish the worst possible years for a select group of people. We also discuss our Christmases and what's been going on with us lately. Enjoy.

Episode 308: Bryan Quinby v. His Brother-in-Law

Mon, 14 Oct 2024 07:07:41 -0000

We are LIVE from the Biltmore Cabaret with the FINAL main episode of Blocked Party EVER, and Bryan is here to tell us all about how he had to block his brother-in-law for being a flat-earther. And that's not the only strange Bryan story we get on the episode (obviously), as he fills us in on his overall disdain for nature because mountains don't sing or play music and his penchant for pissing in the drain in the laundry room in his basement. And of course, because it is the last main episode of the show, Stefan graces us with an insane Joey compilation to really bring it on home. Plus, Bryan gets taken to a card show in Vancouver by Stefan where he wins a big prize, Stefan finds a truly unbelievable Rule 34, and someone craps themselves at a Godspeed You! Black Emperor concert.

While this is the final main episode of the show (we will also be doing a retrospective episode in the coming weeks but this is the last one in the "BP Format"), the Patreon will continue to live on with all your favorite bonus episode content. We'll continue to do THREE NEW bonus episodes every single month, while the entire back catalogue will also remain available and you get access to all of it the second you sign up. It's well over 150 episodes at this point, and if you want to hear John and Stefan together, our Patreon will be the only place to do it in the coming months before the new show launches sometime in 2025. So head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, donate to the show, and stay with us as we head into this new chapter.

Bryan Quinby is a podcaster whose podcast "Guys: A Podcast About Guys" is available wherever you get your pods. You can follow him on Twitter at @murderxbryan.

This episode will also be available in video format on our YouTube, though it may take a few days since it was recorded live at the Biltmore as well.

Episode 307: Demi Lardner and Tom Walker v. Demi's Mom's Boss

Mon, 07 Oct 2024 05:41:17 -0000

As the main show winds down, you KNOW we had to get our friends Tom Walker and Demi Lardner (bigsofttitty.png) back on the show. So we did! And Demi has a very funny Block Tale about getting her number pre-emptively blocked by her mom's boss (chef) who overhears Demi on the phone saying to her mom she's going to harass the chef. It's great. The episode is great too, as we discuss John and Stefan's asses, cold is bad for lizard brain, Australian life, meeting up at TwitchCon, and Indiana Jones. Plus, Tom keeps us up to date on the Magic: The Gathering community, Demi talks The Great Khali, a Republican candidate rented a family for photos, and the Sum 41 guy has a really tall wife.

If you want all killer, no filler, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month!

Episode 306: Alex Goldman v. Eric Conn

Mon, 30 Sep 2024 06:30:32 -0000

Alex Goldman (podcaster) returns to the show to tell us about a block he picked up from weird conservative guy Eric Conn, host of the "Hard Men" podcast, for uhh...pointing out that's a strange name for a podcast if you're a guy who presents as an alpha. Our podcast is strange too, as we discuss the TwitchCon cheating scandal, podcast conventions, recording while under the weather, and Bryan's list of best bodily functions. Plus, Alex fills us in on Gamergate 2, John enjoys a throwback funny sports tweet, and we get a clip of Elon Musk talking about hosting SNL that Stefan deems "the worst video to ever be played on Blocked Party", which is an extremely high bar.

If you want to see some other horrible videos, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month! Some of which we watch horrible videos in! But others, like this week's, are much more fun, as our friend Josh Custodio pitched us on the idea of an interview about the history of Blocked Party as we near the main feed's end. It was a great time! We also have ad-free episodes, an exclusive Discord, and MORE!

Also, a reminder that we are going LIVE in a few weeks!

Episode 305: Adam Christie v. A Genie

Mon, 23 Sep 2024 06:20:41 -0000

Adam Christie (comedian) is back and not a moment too soon, as he has strangely encountered a lot of genies (?) over the last few months, and needs our help sorting through it all. We sort through a lot of things on this episode, as we discuss the new Beetlejuice Fanta, Star Wars Pepsi, the milk cartons that mooed, working at Blockbuster as a movie snob, and Kirk Cousins' weird jar of stones. Plus, AutoTune the News makes a triumphant (?) return with an assist from Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Stefan checks in on a QAnon account, and there's a Jeopardy! anecdote so insane that John has to have it cross over onto a BP episode.

Episode 304: Jamie Loftus v. A Podcast Listener

Mon, 16 Sep 2024 06:15:00 -0000

Jamie Loftus (comedian) is BACK and faces a problem that a lot of us do in the podcasting world: having a reply guy that lets you know every week why they're not going to listen to your show anymore, and trying not to let it get to you. Thankfully for Jamie, she catches a block and doesn't have to deal with this particular person anymore. There's a lot of stuff we don't wanna deal with this week as we discuss undecided voters, nepo babies, and we go really deep on Bugaboo Creek, a Canadian-ish themed restaurant with animatronic animals that Jamie loved as a kid. Plus, Jamie hates the new Twitter algorithm, Donald Trump says yet another insane thing, and Elon Musk sets a new precedent with what is probably the worst tweet of all-time.

If you want to hear about more of the worst tweets, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where we talk about a bunch of them! For just $5, you'll get THREE new bonus episodes every single month PLUS you'll get access to our entire back catalogue of over 150 episodes. It's the best!

Episode 303: Chris Locke v. TizzyEnt

Mon, 09 Sep 2024 06:00:08 -0000

Chris Locke (comedian) returns to the show to tell us about hitting his breaking point with TizzyEnt, one of those annoying amalgamators who explains a viral video in a flat monotone for 30 seconds before showing said viral video. He sucks, and we block his ass! And there's a lot of ass talk on this episode because...obviously. It's a Chris Locke episode. We go wild. We discuss Meghan Trainor's side-by-side toilets, hold music, Chris' Edinburgh Fringe Festival experience, bidets, and the Spider-Man musical. Plus, Chris is annoyed at having to do lots of promo, Stefan is annoyed at Dr. Disrespect's "comeback", and past guest Justine Stafford shares a wild rejection story from Edinburgh on her own pod that John couldn't help but sympathize with.

Episode 302: Amar Singh v. Andy Elliott

Mon, 02 Sep 2024 06:46:39 -0000

Amar Singh (comedian) makes his first appearance on the show to tell us about a time when self-help just went way, way too far and he had to do some blocking to take care of it. Amar is a comedian, but perhaps more importantly, he is John's former student. So we talk to Amar about being in John's class and getting John to book him his first stand-up gig, which has now led to a career in comedy, for better or worse. We also discuss Amar struggling to find a job due to AI, which of course leads Stefan to create some AI Yodas and also show us a nasty picture he found of a really big Nintendo fan. Plus, Amar also loves the sad cat videos we discussed with Libby Watson on our most recent bonus episode, and the Oasis reunion has us revisiting some of their funniest moments of the last decade including Liam Gallagher's meeting with Paul McCartney, his interview with a kindergarten class, and making their own tea.

If you want to hear some more tea, we're spilling it all over the place over at patreon.com/blockedparty! $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every damn month including the aforementioned Libby Watson episode that just came out last week, where John had to do the blocking due to an insane Jeopardy! fan.

Mon, 26 Aug 2024 05:42:00 -0000

merritt k (writer) joins the show for the very first time to discuss a rare Bluesky block from video game developer and noted weirdo Brianna Wu. Do not assume the moon is or isn't a tactical battleground. In addition to discussing the moon we also discuss Canada, as merritt has moved back home and that leads to talks of Doug Ford's "Buck a Beer" campaign strategy, No Frills commercials, the racist Trader Joe's logos, catnip, and Dan gets in trouble from his landlord, who watched the show on YouTube and saw something he didn't like. Plus, merritt gets in trouble from zoomers for a tweet, JD Vance visits a donut shop, and babies apparently can't say the word popsicle.

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 05:41:45 -0000

Holy hell! Kick us into a pit, we've reached Episode 300! Nick Wiger (Doughboys) joins us to celebrate almost six years of this show by getting blocked by a right-wing-leaning account for telling them straight up that their hero died jacking off. Thankfully we don't die on this episode as we debut our brand-new theme song (thanks to the wonderful Howell Dawdy) and get into the Despicable Me/Minions franchise, which of course, leads to a wide-ranging Rule 34 discussion. It wouldn't be Episode 300 without it. Plus, Wiger details how a book has helped him mostly quit social media, JD Vance brags that he's starting the new Entourage, and our friend Josiah has some fun with the entire country of Australia thanks to a Bluey tattoo tweet.

Mon, 12 Aug 2024 05:32:33 -0000

Does your underwear smell of poop? If it does, you might be the guy who blocked Chris after an exchange on Twitter borne out of some of the horrible stuff happening in the UK right now. That's right, Chris James (comedian) is finally back on a main episode and we predictably have a lot of fun as we discuss the audio editing of Chris' podcast "Guys", menial jobs, sex underwear, and a weirdo sneaks backstage at a Comedy Bang! Bang! show. Plus, Chris uses an alt account to troll some British nutjobs, Stefan just learns about the Hawk Tuah girl, and Joe Rogan has a brand-new comedy special. Chris also misses a lot of basketball shots.

Sam Burns (comedian) joins the show for the first time to tell us about a hot tip that he received that the Facebook group for the small town of Woodstock, Ontario, was a happening time...and about how he got blocked from that Facebook group. It's a real "remember some times" episode as we discuss X-rated video games, games that are banned from Twitch, Outlaw Golf, Grand Theft Auto, smoking weed in college, and Sam tells us how he randomly ended up seeing the Michael Jackson concert documentary film "This Is It". Plus, Sam gives us an update on his Facebook feed, Republicans are being weird about being called weird, and John relives an old, funny viral tweet.

Mon, 29 Jul 2024 05:35:30 -0000

Raft (comedian/musician) has returned to the show for another wild ride, as we learn about how they got blocked by the infamous Foodgod, a consort of the Kardashians, who blocked Raft for writing a poem about him. Very rude. The episode, let's be honest, is also rude too, as we discuss napkin bibs, fish sandwiches, our dream fast food meals, night cereal, and yes, poop and Raft's recent top surgery. Plus, we meet a guy whose whole deal is awkwardly singing at celebrities, MLB player Reese McGuire gets called out for jacking off in his car in a Dollar Tree parking lot, and JD Vance is a really huge weirdo.

Mon, 22 Jul 2024 05:51:00 -0000

Howell Dawdy (musician) returns to the show with a familiar tale of getting banned from Twitter for too many DMCA strikes, but what isn't familiar is that many of those strikes came from one source: the rapper Eminem. Howell takes us down a road of terrible mashups and horrible parody songs as we discuss our new theme song, plastic straws, our favorite pies, and we learn about the guy who is in love with his car. Like, sexually. Plus, Howell introduces us to the social director of a Florida golf course, Sammy Hagar loves tornadoes, and a tattoo artist has a bizarre interaction with a potential customer.

Mon, 15 Jul 2024 06:42:19 -0000

Will Weldon (comedian) returns to the show to tell us about the time Jeff Ross blocked him after he clearly name-searched his own name and didn't like what he found. You probably remember why that might be. We remember lots of stuff on this show, including the Oilers and Hawk Tuah girls having their moments, the UK holding their elections, Vancouver's bad mayor, and Stefan and John prepare for their annual hockey pool trip, and Will really hates Bill Maher. Plus, Will gets suspended on Twitter, John is checking in on Book Twitter, and Mikey Miles has a truly horrendous new video.

If you want to see some other horrendous videos (and laugh at them with us), then you can donate to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This past week, Stefan dipped into the archives to share his block by a parody account of the show The Newsroom, and Christine Bortolin came along for the ride. Plus, we have ad-free episodes, merch discounts, and a lot more! Don't delay!

Will Weldon is a comedian whose brand-new podcast, "I Hate Bill Maher", is out now. John has been a guest already and it's a delight. You can follow him on Instagram at @oldmanweldon.

Episode 294: Alex Berr v. Instagram

Mon, 08 Jul 2024 06:24:56 -0000

Alex Berr (comedian) is probably the smartest guest in the show's history, as she has a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering but also has muted just about every person's stories and posts on Instagram that she follows so it restricts her app use. She has "blocked" Instagram. It's impressive, and so is this episode, as John screws a bunch of stuff up, Alex joins a secret society, and Stefan talks about Cuckold Night on Go Off Kings, which leads us to go way deep on gimp masks and weird pet items. Plus, we discuss the carnivore diet, Stefan gives us a Joey update where he has an actually funny tweet, and speaking of tweets, John goes viral for an observation he makes in London and gets Dutchposted.

If you want to learn about Dutchposting and many other brilliant concepts, you can head on over to our Patreon and donate to the show. Help the Blocked Boys, do some learning, it's a beautiful thing. For your $5 donation, you'll get THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 05:55:03 -0000

In our first episode with everyone back from vacation, Matt O'Brien (comedian) joins us for a rousing time, as we reconnect and discuss why pre-emptively blocking your landlord is probably a good idea. We also get into turning 40, working at SportChek, the water-skiing/wakeboarding/tubing scene, and John talks about seeing Limp Bizkit in Belfast and meeting Fred Durst. Plus, Matt jokingly asks for a job and then is horrified to learn he might get it, Stefan picks his favorite tweet from the cursed Trump/Biden debate, and John pays tribute to the recently passed lead singer of Crazy Town, Shifty Shellshock.

Mon, 24 Jun 2024 06:15:00 -0000

Clare Belford (comedian) returns to the show on the last of our pre-tapes before Dan gets back from Japan, and it's a fun one, as Clare blocks any "sexy chat" spam DM she gets invited into but notices one commonality...a fellow comedian showing up in these chats, and subsequently following some of these women. We don't reveal who it is, but you can maybe guess! No guessing about this episode being fun though, as Clare tells us about her new dog (who snores adorably throughout), and we discuss The Leftovers, Clare's dad's dog obedience tips, falling asleep at comedy shows, and our friend DBJ trapped themself in a box. Plus, Clare gets a confusing tax slip, a man gets caught in a court proceeding, and Twiggy owns an interviewer.

If you want something to do that's a lot less confusing than your taxes, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where a simple $5 donation gets you access to our entire back catalogue and THREE brand-new bonus episodes a month.

Mon, 17 Jun 2024 08:38:03 -0000

Emily Heller (comedian) returns to the show to tell us a wonderful story about noticing a print being sold online by a clothing company that was not properly attributed to the artist and it ends up being a strange and beautiful redemption tale–one that also leads to a block. It's a strange and beautiful episode too, as we discuss Emily's emo phase, the new Pop Culture Jeopardy, the butterflies in Emily's garden, and we find a German Limp Bizkit tribute act. Plus, Emily introduces us to the "Gift Ideas" subreddit, John finds a tweet very relatable, and Stefan has one of his worst Social Media Updates of all-time.

Mon, 10 Jun 2024 07:13:00 -0000

Dave Merheje (comedian) joins the show in-person for the first time to tell us about different blocking patterns with two exes, one of which leads to a very interesting reveal. Dave immediately connects with Dan on the episode as we discuss Dan's can situation, the few times Dave stayed with John over the years, people taking selfies with celebs, meeting fans, expensive train rides, and the Disney Star Wars hotel. Plus, British kids complain about ice cream, Elon Musk wants your family pics on X, Shaq talks that talk to Draymond Green and Jeff Teague explains that the Bucks' victory party wasn't that good.

Episode 289: Rory Dunn v. Fauxmoi

Mon, 03 Jun 2024 06:51:55 -0000

Rory Dunn (comedian) returns to the show and gets banned from the celebrity gossip subreddit Fauxmoi for making a joke about something happening to America's two likely Presidential candidates. One thing Rory doesn't get banned from is his love of drinking milk, which we find out he's doing a lot of because he is entering a strongman competition. Of course, that sends us down a wild rabbit hole where we spend a ton of time discussing World's Strongest Man and Rory's prep for the competition. Plus, Rory is unhappy with a podcast trying to locate a cool-looking skateboarder from a photo, "Inside the NBA" might be ending, and some guys honk a car horn at golfers mid-swing, and that's never not funny.

You know what else is always funny? Our bonus content! It's only available at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you THREE bonus episodes every single month. Last week, Randee Neumeyer joined us for a Cullen the Herd episode, where John gets blocked by a stupid Leafs fan. We also have ad-free episodes, merch discounts, an exclusive Discord, and MORE!

Episode 288: Darcy Michael v. Facebook

Mon, 27 May 2024 05:43:30 -0000

Darcy Michael (comedian) returns to the show with a tale of Meta's new AI screwing him over from posting videos and making content because...his profile picture also had his husband and comedy partner Jer in it. Social media in 2024 rocks. It's been a big few years for Darcy since he was last on the show, as him and Jer have been touring all across North America and have seen their TikTok absolutely blow up. We discuss that, Vancouver's elimination from the NHL playoffs, and Stefan and Darcy compare notes on their hair. Plus, a great Goldilocks meme, Dan Snyder gets mad about funding a Trump movie that turns out to be a negative portrayal of him, and we find a great sign in Germany.

If you're looking for a great sign to donate to your beautiful Blocked Boys...this is it! Head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. Last week, Danielle Florence joined us for a great mailbag episode, and this week, Randee Neumeyer joins us for a Cullen the Herd episode where John gets blocked by a fellow Leafs fan.

Mon, 20 May 2024 06:01:00 -0000

Audrey Brehm (Radio Free Tote Bag) joins us for the first time to discuss how she got blocked after a Facebook comments exchange with an EDM DJ about wage inequality. 2012 was simply a different time. We have hell of a time on this episode though, as we discuss our grandparents, working retail, our tortured fandom for the Leafs and Canucks, and Star Wars miniature tournaments. Plus, we talk about c*nty outfits, Michael Cohen talks that talk in court, and former NBA player Glen "Big Baby" Davis waxes poetic on being sentenced to 40 months in prison.

Episode 286: Myles Anderson v. Tony Robbins

Mon, 13 May 2024 05:29:13 -0000

Myles Anderson (comedian) returns to the show after a 5-year layoff (our fault) to show us what happens when you talk about Tony Robbins on your YouTube channel that analyzes stand-up comedians. Hint: it's not good! We get into a lot of knife talk on the pod, as Myles gets stopped by airport security and we remember some our fondest memories with knives. We also discuss some of our favorite early Flash games, Leisure Suit Larry, BMX XXX, Dan introduces us to Stroker for the Commodore 64, and we check in on the new menu at our ol' top Wisconsin haunt, Every Buddy's Bar and Grill. Plus, Myles fights with a Norwegian, the Edmonton Oilers release a heinous playoff rap, and IMC loves what Grok AI has to offer him with regards to the Drake/Kendrick beef.

Broomgate: A Curling Scandal, Episode 1: The Mystery Broom

Wed, 08 May 2024 16:47:50 -0000

It's a feed drop! John here. As you may (or may not) know, over the past two years, I have been working on a curling podcast about our sport's biggest ever scandal, Broomgate. (Yes, it's actually called that). It's a cool story filled with niche sports drama, amazing personalities, and narration/writing/producing by me. And as I write this, it is the #1 podcast in Canada. Actually.

We have never posted an episode of anything else in the BP feed, and I respect that this may be a bit weird for some of you, but I just really wanted you to hear this series. I hope you enjoy it. This is the only episode we'll be doing this with, so don't fear that the BP feed will be overrun with curling content. The feed goes back to normal next Monday and will stay that way.

If you like the episode, please head on over to the Broomgate: A Curling Scandal feed and follow/subscribe. Episode 2 is already out, and then it'll be a new episode every Monday until the conclusion of the podcast's sixth episode. You can get there by clicking here: https://link.chtbl.com/6rO6FUAd.

Episode 285: Mike Rugnetta v. Trump Merch

Mon, 06 May 2024 06:23:08 -0000

Mike Rugnetta (podcaster) joins the show for the first time to tell us about the weirdly specific subset of products that his Twitter feed is currently being dominated by: Donald Trump merch. We go over the entire insane product line, and update Mike on the dumb Twitter ads we are getting up here in Canada. It's a big week over on Bluesky, as they've added gifs, and we discuss Taco Bell, the Filet O'Fish, Long John Silver's, the Scorpion Bar at Foxboro Stadium, and we listen in to what DJ Jon Gosselin has been laying down lately. Plus, Mike's TikTok algorithm is overrun by the Chinese Industrial Complex, Rod Black gets a heartwarming baseball moment with his son, and we check in on our good friend Tito Ortiz.

Mon, 29 Apr 2024 06:29:48 -0000

Maddy Kelly (comedian/writer) returns to the show to discuss her newest hobby: finding people who reply weirdly or negatively to women who do stand-up online, and telling them to f off. It's working well, and she's getting blocked. It's a snack-heavy episode as Maddy has moved back to LA and pines for the days of Canadian junk food. We also discuss In-n-Out, potato chip rotations, burger tourism, and first dates. Plus, Maddy is only logging onto Instagram from her desktop, Stefan hits us with a Naomi Wolf update, and Drew Carey lands on a different astral plane at the Phish concert at the Sphere.

Mon, 22 Apr 2024 05:44:01 -0000

Erin Wood (comedian) joins the show to tell us about getting banned from the Facebook group of Mr. Clean...for telling "him" about a dream she had? Involving him? Shirtless? It's a good time. And so is the episode, as we discuss our word games habit, John doing the new lamest thing he's ever done, our teenage party experiences, cartoons, and Erin takes umbrage with something Stefan and John enjoy. Plus, Erin deleted all her social media, Stefan shows us some rejected vanity license plates, and John introduces Stefan and Erin to scenic pisses.

Episode 282: Adam Christie v. Becca

Mon, 15 Apr 2024 05:53:12 -0000

Adam Christie (comedian) returns to the show for his first main episode in over 4 years! Part of the reason he hadn't returned to the show is because no one had blocked him. But then Becca volunteers...and hilarity ensues. Hilarity also ensues the entire episode as Stefan shows us an insane picture (what else is new?), Adam attends an eclipse party, Mr. Beast has a new chocolate bar, and we go long on micropenises. Plus, Keith Lee visits Toronto, a Zoom presentation goes wildly wrong, and Elon Musk goes to court, though he isn't exactly sure who sued him.

If you want to avoid being sued by us, you can donate to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Mon, 08 Apr 2024 05:24:00 -0000

Yes, that John McAfee. Donovan Eyre (Radio-Free Tote Bag) joins the show to tell us about weirdly getting the late John McAfee on their podcast (before he died, obv), getting the follow, and then getting unfollowed after his passing. It's a strange sequence of events, and we break it all down here. We also break down CBD seltzers, the A&W Burger Family, Hawkins Cheezies, and Stefan and John make a horrible pitch: Canada Juice II. Plus, Dono's algorithm is full of dead fish, the Cybertruck gets compared to a prom dress (?) in a very strange tweet, and we find out just how stupid parents are over on r/teachers.

Episode 280: Will Sennett & Helena v. Matt Rife

Mon, 01 Apr 2024 06:01:10 -0000

It's another classic pairs episode on Blocked Party, as we just couldn't resist having the two hosts of the new hit podcast 197424 on, Will Sennett and Helena! Helena catches a block from America's favorite comedian, and we dive into his truly cringeworthy Twitter page in this memorable episode. Off the top, we immediately discuss their strange new podcast name and then Stefan pesters the two of them with more parody songs (which costs John and the show more money). We also chat about a confusing Long Island Iced Tea that Helena drank at the movies, John seeing some baffling anti-mayor signs, and we learn Dan has every Amiibo ever made. Plus, pretend psychologists on Instagram, alpha male camps, Dragon's Dogma II, and Ilia Malinin lands a quadruple axel.

Episode 279: Becca v. A Broken Man

Mon, 25 Mar 2024 06:02:06 -0000

Becca rejoins the show for the first time since we moved to Calgary, and tells us about some very strange DMs she got about her ex that were connected to a profile that had some very weird posts about her ex. It no longer exists, but is one of the weirder blocks we've ever seen on the show. The episode gets weird too, as we reminisce on our old apartment and talk toilet seats, new video games, cycling in the snow, and chess. In the social media updates, Becca brings back a very popular segment in the show's history: unearthing old social media posts of John's for the listener's enjoyment (and his embarrassment). This time, she goes to Facebook, and there are some doozies. And finally, Stefan finds a weird Bandy video and John watches a guy sprain his ankle.

You know what's better than spraining your ankle? Becoming a donor to the show! For just $5/month, you'll get access to THREE bonus episodes every month over at patreon.com/blockedparty. Last week, Lance St. Laurent returned to discuss the Avro Arrow, and this week, our friend and sports analyst Blake Murphy joins us for a Heck/Cullen episode where we get the lowdown on how to get into covering sports professionally.

Episode 278: Austin Lonneberg v. A Redditor

Mon, 18 Mar 2024 07:31:11 -0000

Austin Lonneberg (comedian) joins the show for the first time to tell us about a time he had to block a Redditor after the Reddit guy made fun of Austin's comedy and then when Austin went to check out his profile, he revealed...well, he took us to a very interesting sub-Reddit. We learned a lot. And that's not the only thing we learned a lot about on this episode, as Austin tells us about going to the gym late at night and this somehow leads to us diving WAY too deep into Steven Seagal's history, from his legendarily bad SNL performance to his horrendous recent movies. It's a wild rabbithole. Plus, Austin gets fooled on TikTok into watching Andrew Tate clips, Stefan checks in on Darren Rovell, and John sparks some funny text messages after Drake goes viral for a strange DM slide.

If you want to slide into our DMs (sort of), you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you THREE bonus episodes every single month. Last week, Jacob Samuel joined us for one of the truly stupidest mailbags of all-time, where we spend 20 minutes answering a question in the dumbest way possible.

We also have ad-free episodes and a whole lot more, so check it out!

Mon, 11 Mar 2024 05:52:39 -0000

Luke Taylor (comedian) joins the show for the first time to give us his first-hand experience of what it feels like to be the main character of Twitter for a day, after his run-ins with Mr. Peanut online turn into a Vice article, some attention from Bhad Bhabie, and a whole lot of people angry at him. But we could never stay mad at Luke, as he tries his best to be a great guest despite not receiving the John email. And he succeeds, as we discuss English accents, inflatable Michael Jacksons, the "Blanket" incident, and Balloon Boy. Plus, Luke lets us know that the best social media right now is Facebook Stories, Elon Musk writes a tweet about "Woke Jeopardy!" that's as good as you think it is, and Joey reviews the new KFC Chizza.

If you want something that'll certainly go down a lot easier than a Chizza, how about the entire Blocked Party bonus episode back catalogue? It totals over 150 episodes, and you get access to it immediately if you support the Blocked Boys at patreon.com/blockedparty. Just $5/month for that AND three new bonus episodes every damn month.

There's no contention on the rest of the episode though, as we discuss podcast theme songs, the downfall of Twitter and now TikTok, Stefan's new gaming laptop, and how almost every online parody song is about COVID. Plus, girlbossing your way through mental health, Trapt gets denied by a venue, and Stefan walks us through the terrifying "Willy Wonka Experience".

Episode 275: John and Stefan's Fast Track

Mon, 26 Feb 2024 07:25:52 -0000

It's the final episode of Freaky February and it's time to take the ultimate challenge: an episode of Howell Dawdy's Fast Track, where we have to write a song in 30 minutes or less. Now, we aren't the musical genius that Howell is, so we decided to write a parody song instead of an actual, "we play the instruments" song, but look...we aren't very good at that either. After canvassing people to find out what the most annoying song at karaoke is, we settled on a parody of "Sweet Caroline", a song we both hate, and of course...we make it about needing to poop really bad.

If you have an urge to do something else, why not head on over to our Patreon and support the Blocked Boys doing what they love? It's just $5/month at patreon.com/blockedparty for THREE bonus episodes every single month. Last week, Ivan Decker joined us for the triumphant return of "Word Up!", our Cameo-themed bonus episodes, and this week, it's the thrilling conclusion of Blocked Party D&D: Season 3, with our good friends Mike and Jesse from Your Kickstarter Sucks. We also have ad-free episodes, merch discounts, and more, so check it out!

This week, we have Tony Boswell (Minion Death Cult) joining us to discuss a Dude near and dear to our hearts: the Nu-Metal Dude. We dig into the weird politics around the nu-metal sub-reddit and find a treasure trove of great Ticketmaster reviews of some of your favorite nu-metal bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit, Disturbed, and Slipknot.

We are very pleased to be joined by one of SPY's own hosts, Dave Shumka, as we discuss "Mean Girls: The Musical", the time that Yahoo! hired Snow (yes, the Canadian white rapper Snow) to do its hold music, and John working out too hard and being unable to move for a week.

Episode 271: Amy Walsh v. Her Co-Worker's Boyfriend's Brother's Girlfriend

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 07:20:00 -0000

Amy Walsh (comedian) joins us for the first time with one of the more tangential Blocks in the show's history, as she lied on a job application about taking a holiday and really, really didn't want her boss to find out. Thankfully she's less secretive on the show as John gets some advice about his upcoming trip to her homeland of Ireland and we discuss Kevin Hart's NFT TV show (yes, that's real), poor eyesight, and we revisit the sexual rules of the pandemic including the infamous Government of BC notice that encouraged the use of gloryholes. Plus, Amy goes viral for a simple (but funny) TikTok, a Nets reporter gets into a cartoon-sounding car crash during a post-game Twitter Space, and a very bizarre quote tweet leads to a little guessing game.

Luckily, you don't have to guess at the best way to support this show: it's our Patreon! Over at patreon.com/blockedparty, $5/month will get you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 07:06:02 -0000

HCJustin (Twitch streamer) joins the show for the first time to tell us about being a beta tester for the Sims Online as a teenager....and immediately getting banned from the game. We also relive our teenage days with some deep talk about Spencer's Gifts (there's still over 600 locations!), Justin explains his insane sub-a-thons, and we chat about birth certificates, taxes, and while explaining "normal mode" on Go Off Kings, we learn what the most common sound alerts are on Twitch.

Episode 269: Beth McColl v. Joyce Carol Oates

Mon, 15 Jan 2024 07:52:58 -0000

Beth McColl (writer) returns to the program to discuss how she got blocked by one of Twitter's renowned weirdos, author Joyce Carol Oates, but for not really doing anything weird or offensive. She just faved a partly disparaging tweet reply! That's it! Sad that she has to miss out on disgusting keyboards and deranged foot pics, but here we are. After John messes up the intro, we get into a great episode as we discuss Jackson Galaxy, Cat Bin Lady, John's upcoming trip to London, we finally introduce the $100 Club perks for 2024, and Beth tells us about being THAT girl at a wedding. Plus, Beth falls in love with the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid and the recent incident there, Stefan gets us deep into some bog talk, and we discuss Jo Koy throwing his writers under the bus at the Golden Globes.

If you want to pull us out from under the bus, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Mon, 08 Jan 2024 07:11:46 -0000

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.

It's Christmas! Our first-ever on-Christmas episode brings a return from favorite guest K.C. Novak, who is buoyed by Racquel Belmonte's recent Block Tale about being blocked by a therapist to discuss how K.C. was blocked by her therapist as well. It was time. It's a Cincinnati Christmas on this episode as K.C. tells us all about the traditions of her hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, as she heads back there for Christmas, and we get into the chili, the ice cream, and the goetta (?) of it all. We also talk egg bags, holiday plans, and hockey. Plus, K.C. DMs the host of a Vanderpump Rules podcast, people get very weird about outdoor cats, and we look back on a year of horrendous Elon Musk jokes.

Mon, 18 Dec 2023 06:43:41 -0000

Lucky us! When a guest had to cancel 20 minutes before recording due to a sudden illness, we couldn't have asked for a better last-minute replacement, as our good friend and one of our faves Libby Watson (writer/streamer) stepped up and answered the call. And what a call it is, as Libby regales us of the time some power-hungry loser at TwitchCon tried to prevent her from eating a donut 3 minutes early. We also talk about knife sharpening, farmer's markets, and onion goggles, before going heavy on Christmas talk as we discuss our favourite ornaments, Christmas memories, and Christmas carols. Plus, Libby finds a harrowing Christmas Yoda at Home Depot, Yoda plays Lethal Company, and Twitter got a new main character this week and he absolutely rocks.

Mon, 11 Dec 2023 07:45:35 -0000

Dead Blossom Jesse (Twitch streamer) joins the show for the first time to promise us that they don't generally engage with strangers online, but they couldn't resist in this one instance (just the one) and go WAY down the rabbit-hole of convincing this stranger that they have a medical condition and he shouldn't be trifling with DBJ. We do a lot of trifling with DBJ on this episode though, as we ponder what would happen if John died, lancing boils, smashing pennies, smoking an entire pack of cigarettes at once, which Shakespeare characters we would be, and we try to find a new impression for Stefan. Plus, DBJ is getting really into GameDev Twitter, Elon and IMC lie about their enjoyment of the Grand Theft Auto series, and John finds a POD Kast comment on Reddit underneath a headline you would never imagine devolving into POD Kast discussion.

Mon, 04 Dec 2023 06:39:44 -0000

Racquel Belmonte (comedian) is back for her first regular episode in nearly 1.5 years, and it's no time too soon as we learn the story of how she finds a therapist after being diagnosed with ADHD, and things don't really work out. As you might remember, the last time Racquel was on the podcast, she was single, and now...she is married! We run through her whirlwind courtship, engagement, and recent small wedding to an old friend who is now her husband! It's a wonderful tale with lots of laughs. And speaking of weddings, this is the first recording since Stefan got back from Tom and Demi's wedding in Australia, so we get the low-down on their wild ceremony, seeing koalas, Hungry Jack's, and we learn the wild backstory behind the whole "a dingo ate my baby!" thing.

Mon, 27 Nov 2023 07:00:03 -0000

Michael Balazo (comedian, Evil Men) returns to the show for a block that may not be surprising in nature given the person in question, but it might be surprising that Michael displays a great amount of valiance and support for a loved one after Graham and his followers chase after her in a weird way online. This episode displays a great amount of valiance as well, as we discuss fighting each other, Grey Cup halftime shows, betting on Green Day, shaving in public, weird hockey teammates, and Stefan prepares to fly to Australia. Plus, Michael has a tweet go viral that gets us talking Benny Hill, Stefan deletes his Twitter account, and John sees a Twitter joke that is so rooted in Twitter's old days that it gets us nostalgic.

Episode 261: Gavin Matts v. O.J. Simpson

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 05:53:38 -0000

Gavin Matts (comedian) returns to the show and catches a block that realistically we should all aspire to catch: he gets blocked by O.J. Simpson. You remember, the football player who also did some other stuff. It was a COVID-era block but Gavin doesn't catch it for a reason you'd think, but rather for a well-timed joke. And there are lots of well-timed jokes on this episode as discussion of bodegas leads us down a strange rabbit hole into the world of pitbull breeding and the very strange posters that accompany said breeding. We also chat about the YouTube comments on Gavin's new special, speaking Italian, and we revisit the classic "dog condoms" bit. Plus, we learn a lot about the Pixel Fold: Hip Hop 50th Anniversary Edition, Ludacris' stage name, and Stefan shows us a dog that poops on a window, because of course he does.

If you want more of Stefan's hilarious hijinks, head on over to our Patreon page and donate to the show!

Mon, 13 Nov 2023 21:54:45 -0000

Alistair Ogden (comedian) returns to the show to take us on a journey into the psyche of one man, who posts numerous signs around his neighborhood looking for engagement from locals, from offering manicures and pedicures with no studio to needing help with Microsoft Excel. We learn probably more than we would want to, but it's fascinating. Also on the episode we are fascinated by Alistair going viral for pissing off small town Alberta, the Nerds candy universe (Rope/Dweebs/Punkies), old-school Halloween candies, and talk of beans leads to discussing our favorite Mr. Bean memories. Plus, Alistair introduces us to his TikTok comments section, Bob Hoskins talks about playing Super Mario, and the Bored Apes people blind a bunch of their fans.

If you want to be blinded by the sheer amount of bonus content we have available, then head over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 07:52:00 -0000

Brittany Lyseng (comedian) joins the show for the first time and it's the first in-studio guest in John's new home studio in Calgary. Unfortunately, Brittany is too nice online and so she is forced to do the one thing she never dreamed of doing: blocking Producer Dan. This is a Producer Dan-heavy episode as we spend a lot of time discussing his newfound fascination with pinball and that leads into talk of Godzilla, poetry, luxury kombucha, Halloween, and firecrackers. Plus, Brittany learns a lot about hobby horses, Stefan introduces us to the town of Skidmore, and we get a good reminder from our local elementary school teachers for Halloween.

Mon, 30 Oct 2023 05:13:32 -0000

Connor Ratliff (Dead Eyes) joins the show and it's a classic, as Connor runs us through a multi-year bit that culminated in a satire Twitter account he ran getting blocked by the well-known author of "Game Change", John Heilemann. We try to get to the bottom of that as we discuss what got people upset about Dead Eyes, weird new candies, and talk of the George Lucas Talk Show takes us down a deep Star Wars rabbit hole as John reveals that Limp Bizkit got to see the premiere of Phantom Menace at Skywalker Ranch and somehow this also leads Stefan to reveal (again) that he ate dry cat food as a child. Plus, Connor starts making online comics to cope with the general state of online, Stefan goes to TwitchCon in Vegas, and Ice-T drops some more wonderful knowledge on Twitter.

Mon, 23 Oct 2023 06:17:00 -0000

Rory Uphold (Crimes of the Heart) joins the show for one of the most tangled Block Tales of all-time, as an ex of hers cheats on her and then repeats the pattern, forcing a cadre of women to team up against him....until the new girl steps in. It's one of the best Block Tales in the show's history and the episode is wonderful too, as we discuss 5G zombies, last-minute episode recordings, and discussions of Rory's Calgary family members leads to a long discussion about the Canadian Football League including some amazing vintage merch and that cursed version of the Canadian national anthem.

Mon, 16 Oct 2023 05:10:22 -0000

Kiki Andersen (comedian) joins the show to tell us about catching the ultimate block: a permanent ban from Twitter for doing a single-word quote tweet. Now, was that single word a weapon that perhaps insinuated what Kiki wanted to happen to the person in question? You'll have to listen to find out! Obviously, right off the top of the show Stefan introduces Kiki to, well, Kiki, and then we discuss monitor lizards, new phones, the time John's dad played with his band, post-sex moves, and the new Coca-Cola flavors. Plus, Kiki is getting a lot of huge AI boobs on her algo, Stefan gives us an update on the Speaker of the House situation, and Spencer Strider has a weird suggestion for what he'd change about baseball.

Mon, 09 Oct 2023 05:58:50 -0000

Sequoia Holmes (Black People Love Paramore) joins the show for the first time to tell us that teenagers really shouldn't be allowed to tweet, as she catches a block for tweeting about Keyshia Cole's singing ability when she was 19 years old. And look, she really wants to be unblocked, so maybe we can help her reunite with a singer she really loves, actually. And we love this episode, as Sequoia tells us about landing Hayley Williams on her podcast, Disturbed's new tour, surface piercings, and we go really deep on the Hollywood Vampires. Plus, we learn about a viral TikTok subway dance, Toronto Fashion Week, cursed clocks, and a BlueSky quote tweet brings back painful memories for Stefan.

Episode 254: Dan Ozzi v. Eric Alper

Mon, 02 Oct 2023 06:12:51 -0000

What's the craziest interaction you've ever had with someone online that led to you being blocked? We answer that question and more as Dan Ozzi (writer) joins the show for the first time to give us the scoop on being blocked by everyone's least favourite Twitter question-asker, Eric Alper. We start the show by talking about UFC's preeminent crazy person, Bryce Mitchell, and then we move on from there to commiserate with Dan about the state of online, as he told us before the episode he was grateful to finally have people to talk about it with. So of course, we touch on Bluesky's emerging prominence, Elon's stupid tweet reply to Taylor Swift, his potential decision to make everyone pay to use the site, TikTok stickers, and comedy club menus. Plus, Dan is mad at the "20 songs" tweet, John brings up some rough content from Jimmy Carr and Andre Iguodala, and Stefan finds the Naked Lego subreddit.

What is your favourite podcast to help support, while also getting access to bonus episodes, ad-free episodes, an exclusive Discord, and merch discounts? Well that must be Blocked Party! And you can support the show by heading over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month will get you THREE of those bonus episodes PLUS access to the whole damn back catalogue, over 100 episodes worth! Rot your brain!

Which music writer is the one that you would say most reminds you of riding in the backseat of your dad's car through the woods at Christmastime? It's gotta be Dan Ozzi, who wrote the wonderful book Sellout, about punk and emo's major-label feeding frenzy in the late 90s and early 00s. It's available wherever you get your books.

Episode 253: Juniper v. Scott Adams

Mon, 25 Sep 2023 06:11:26 -0000

Juniper (Western Kabuki) joins the show for the first time to regale us of the time she was blocked by someone who is definitely not appearing on the show for the first time, it's Scott Adams! The creator of Dilbert gets ratio'ed to hell thanks to Juniper's reply to his tweet, and we love to see another soldier fighting the good fight against that weird freak. Remembrances of our appearance on Western Kabuki leads us into a discussion about just how many "main characters" there are on Twitter now, the recent developments regarding Twitter Circles and a potential full subscription model, and talk of getting DMCA'ed leads us to finding some truly horrible parody songs about it. I'm sure you can guess which song they're parodying. Plus, Juniper finds a woman who is getting her freak on with uhh, rollercoasters, our friend Demi Lardner sends Stefan an upsetting video that he forces us all to watch, and John's friend makes the right move with a jerk driving a Tesla.

If you want to see the upsetting video in question, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you all of our episodes in video format UNCENSORED.

Episode 252: Django Gold v. God

Mon, 18 Sep 2023 06:05:00 -0000

Django Gold (comedian, writer) joins the show to discuss a block from on high, from the Almighty Wonder himself, from the very person who created the entire planet we call "home"...that's right, Django got blocked by God. Fortunately, God could not block us from doing this episode, as an early "New York Story" from Django turns into a very long discussion about getting pooped on by birds, and we also have just enough time left in the opening of the show to introduce Django to the Venus for Men. God bless indeed. Plus, Django gets tricked into downloading a mobile game from a Twitter ad, Stefan finds a truly unhinged Donald Trump AI pic, and John checks in on a free beer promotion at a Green Bay bar.

Episode 251: Ike Barinholtz v. Producer Dan

Mon, 11 Sep 2023 06:24:08 -0000

Ike Barinholtz (actor) returns to the show and not a moment too soon, as he arrives without a Block Tale and leaves with about 50, as he insults Producer Dan and also remembers when he went off on a bunch of Trump people in his Instagram replies on Election Night. We also went off on this episode, as we discuss sending poop pics, how to behave at parent-teacher meetings, AI pictures of Yoda and Elon Musk, voice mods, and Stefan and Ike compare notes on their "guys", and of course, their guys are YouTube fast food reviewers and competitive eaters. Plus, Ike is getting deep into Turkish celebrity chefs, Tito Ortiz opens a restaurant in Florida to predictably bad results, and, as you'd expect, Stefan walks us through the whole Delta diarrhea disaster.

If you want Stefan to walk you through many more disasters, head on over to our Patreon and support the dang show! $5/month at patreon.com/blockedparty gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 250: Jamie Loftus v. Joey Chestnut

Mon, 04 Sep 2023 05:46:39 -0000

Jamie Loftus (comedian, writer) returns to the show for a monumental 250th trip around the BP solar system, and perhaps unsurprisingly, we delve into her recent past in the world of hot dogs, as she gets extremely worried she's going to get blocked by hot dog eating legend Joey Chestnut after writing about him in her great book, "Raw Dog". It's a beautiful story that she's so eager to tell, she tells it during the social media update portion of the show. But who cares! It's a great episode that John is forced to record at a "podcast bar" in Calgary as he completed his move but his house does not yet have internet. We spend an awful lot of time discussing that situation, as well as Brockton, Massachusetts' own Rocky Marciano and the 24-foot statue devoted to him in his (and Jamie's) hometown, prompting a brief guest appearance from Jamie's dad, sportswriter Mike Loftus, in the form of a note to help place his career among the boxing greats. Plus, Stefan finally gets a great promoted post and we discuss vitamin overdoses and Mario Kart.

If you want to overdose on Vitamin BP (Blocked Party), you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every dang month.

Episode 249: Erica Sigurdson v. A Facebook Friend

Mon, 28 Aug 2023 06:55:17 -0000

Erica Sigurdson (comedian) joins the show for the first time to tell us about something a lot of us went through during COVID: the former co-worker who re-appeared on the TL to get mad at you for something positive you said about the difficult time we are all going through. Luckily this episode was not a difficult time at all, as we get into Vancouver real estate, building "amenities", grocery delivery, the Australian horse movie Phar Lap, and Stefan and Erica try to convince John to smoke. Plus, grooms shove cakes into brides' faces for clout, Vivek Ramaswamy uses an insane hashtag, the Little League World Series child names are out of control, and in an episode recorded several weeks before Bob Barker's passing, we get into some Price is Right content in the Top 3.

You know where else the Price is Right? Over on the Blocked Party Patreon! If you head over to patreon.com/blockedparty, just $5/month will get you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Mon, 21 Aug 2023 06:49:05 -0000

Niki Mohrdar (comedian) joins the show for the first time to discuss a block that truly no person wants to ever pick up: one from a local pizza company. After a delivery gone wrong, Niki complains and when they refuse to follow through on a gift card, things get heated. And that's not the only fast food we discuss, as we get into the best fast food sides in our Top 3. Niki also lets us in on the weird YouTube commenters that are already pervading her new podcast, Stefan shows her Dewayne, Niki tells us about her new tattoo, and we discuss smoking, Wife Guys, and trophies. Plus, Niki realizes that the stuff she got made fun of for in high school is cool now on TikTok, Mikey Miles pretends his Amazon brand of shoes is good, and John finds perhaps the first-ever good Blue Check reply.

Mon, 14 Aug 2023 07:21:00 -0000

Gianmarco Soresi (comedian, The Downside) joins the show on a recent visit to Vancouver to tell us about the perils of having a texting service as a comedian, as one person texts him a bunch of times to tell him they'll be at a show and then...well, they ruin the vibe a bit. And it gets worse after, as they return to the texting service with some not great comments for Gianmarco. But we have LOTS of great comments for Gianmarco after this wonderful episode, as we discuss Canada and our silly money, weird teachers, networking, and talk of wrestling somehow leads to Gianmarco regaling us about the time he saw a live sex show in Amsterdam. Plus, Justin Trudeau's divorce, that wild Rudy Giuliani transcript, Ayo Edebiri reviewing Star Wars, and Stefan finally deletes the Twitter app off of his phone.

Episode 246: Tom Walker v. ???

Mon, 07 Aug 2023 07:06:24 -0000

Tom Walker (comedian, bigsofttitty.png) returns to the show in-studio and for only the second time in show history, we don't reveal the blockee in the show's title, so as to keep the suspense intact. It's a great Block Tale though and involves a recent meeting gone awry. What does not go awry is this episode, as Tom teaches us all about the Gratitude Cafe in Los Angeles and we discuss bad cocktail names, Tom and John performing on a show together, Jar Jar Binks impressions, and we learn about Australia's worst reality show: Thorpie's Angels. Plus, Tom is sick of Twitter (but finds a very funny video from a Street Fighter tournament), Stefan is back on his Toyman BS, and John is still loving that EuroDance video parody.

Episode 245: Kevin Banner's Block Brigade

Mon, 31 Jul 2023 06:52:42 -0000

Kevin Banner (comedian) returns to the show and he's discovered something about himself in the last year: he loves blocking people. Previously a self-described "mute man", Kevin figures he no longer cares if someone gets mild satisfaction from a block, and he wrote down every single person (or type of person) he's blocked over the last year to tell us all at once. It's a wild list, and one of the most memorable collection of Block Tales in the show's history. The rest of the show is also very memorable as Stefan tries his hand at the intro and Dan finally takes a poop in John's apartment. And we talk about stuff too, like rage comics, Jim Breuer, Twitter now being called "X", Elon's desire (and failing) to be a funny guy, and we go deep on Brian Bosworth puns. Plus, a new "Social Media Update" theme song from Dr. Jeb kicks off discussion of noproblemgambler's amazing TikTok, the insane PragerU clip that made the rounds this week, and our good friend Murder Bryan has an excellent dunk on Elon.

If you want more amazing dunks, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every dang month. Last week, Rachel Schaefer returned to discuss the season premiere of "...And Just Like That" with us, and this week, Girl God make their triumphant return to the program for another chaotic discussion, this time about iconic Canadian children's game show "Uh Oh!".

Mon, 24 Jul 2023 06:39:29 -0000

Mark Chavez (comedian) joins the show to tell us about that one friend that just won't stop taking bad pictures of you or any pictures of your kid and posting them to the internet without permission. Sometimes, we just have to block that friend. Mark is blocking that friend. Thankfully we aren't blocking each other, so we can chat about VIP theatres, multi-part movies, Stefan's Sonic costume, CraveCon, and John correctly susses out that Mark might like to see some Peep This Out! Yes, John suggests it. His brain may finally have left him. Plus, we help Mark to make his first Thread, Stefan unearths an AOL live chat from MTV in 1995 and it disturbingly predicts the future of online, and we review DK Metcalf's insane diet.

Episode 243: Graham Clark v. Nicole Arbour

Mon, 17 Jul 2023 04:21:13 -0000

Graham Clark (comedian, Stop Podcasting Yourself) returns to the show for an extra-long, in-person episode and it wouldn't be complete without us watching Nicole Arbour's insane music video and talking about a Block that Graham admits he fully deserves. On this episode we go deep on New York Fries, seltzer, free stuff we get for doing podcasts, ad jingles, and as we get into some B-movies Graham loves, we learn an awful lot about the football and movie career of Brian Bosworth. Plus, we discuss the weird Ted Lasso fandom, Stefan starts to speedrun Gollum, and Tom Hanks' niece goes absolutely batshit crazy on a reality game show.

Mon, 10 Jul 2023 07:10:50 -0000

Danika Thibault (comedian) joins the show to tell us about those few times she weirdly went viral for just...existing and being funny. We learn about one Twitter account in particular who compares Danika very unfavorably to one of history's worst humans, and then blocks Danika so she can't even respond. A real brave and powerful move! But it's a very brave and powerful episode as we discuss college dorm room posters, Danika getting to live out her dream of throwing a drink in a guy's face, what happens when the girls get food poisoning, bridesmaid's dresses, and John shows up on the cover of a newspaper in college underneath an embarrassing headline. Plus, we get a tour of Danika's mom's Facebook page, we talk about the submarine billionaire's blink-182 fan stepson, and a Jeopardy! contestant does very poorly with the funniest possible occupation to do poorly with.

Mon, 03 Jul 2023 06:01:18 -0000

Danielle Florence (comedian) joins the show for a Block Tale that is a first in the show's history. While having an ex be the subject of a block is not new, what IS new is that Danielle got broken up with and then HE requested SHE block him so that he wouldn't be tempted to look at her profile. It's a new level of odd! And this episode is our usual bit of oddness as we recorded it before the official status of the Oceangate sub was in, but we felt pretty confident discussing the eventual aftermath. Then, we debate whether or not ultimate frisbee is a bro/rich guy sport, we wonder whether or not Titanic was the first naked breast our parents gave us permission to see, and John tells a story of an infamous incident he was involved in at a pool party when he was a kid. Plus, we teach Danielle how to adjust her algo, a lot of blue check guys have some pitches for Kevin O'Leary, and the founder of Squidoo and Yoyodyne has some words of wisdom for those in business.

Mon, 26 Jun 2023 07:27:41 -0000

Becca joins the show in-person for possibly the last time before her big move to Calgary, and her Block Tale is a doozy, as we travel all the way back to the MySpace era as Becca notices that she starts to fall down the ranks of her boyfriend's Top 8...and then it gets pretty weird. How weird? You'll have to listen as we discuss that and burping, BlueSky, the Gollum game and their German-ass developers, The Idol, we ponder going to Hedonism II as a joke, and we celebrate Dan's birthday with a McCain Deep 'n' Delicious cake. Plus, Becca discovers an insane game show on TikTok, John unearths a great Nikola Jokic soundbite, and Stefan forgets to do a social media update so he calls Demi and Jesse on WhatsApp.

Mon, 19 Jun 2023 07:06:51 -0000

Dave Harris (comedian) returns to the show and yes, we do have a mobile delivery app in Canada called SkipTheDishes. It's based in Winnipeg, because...of course it is. It's a rare Block Tale where the blockee admits they're at fault, as Dave takes one on the chin here after getting upset with Skip for not delivering his six-pack of beer on time. Dave is at fault for a few other things too, as he tells us about changing the backgrounds on his colleague's computers to illicit images and we learn an awful lot about a website we probably wish we hadn't. We also discuss Bud Nitro, Call of Duty, and verified accounts. Plus, we try to get to the bottom of why Dave's YouTube show is getting episodes pulled randomly, Stefan tricks spam bots into making an insane T-shirt, and we learn a lot about those weird boot camps where adult men pay money to be screamed at incessantly for 4 days about how they're super weak, or whatever.

Episode 238: Randee Neumeyer v. A Facebook Marketplace Guy

Mon, 12 Jun 2023 05:48:00 -0000

It's the second episode in a row we have a guest returning after a long layoff, as Randee Neumeyer (comedian) returns to the show and folks...it's an all-timer. Randee has a very strange interaction on Facebook Marketplace where she gets blocked by a potential customer, so she does what anyone else would do in this situation: she takes it to Instagram. It's a great Block Tale buoyed by a great episode as we go ALL the way off the rails discussing flipping TV channels as a kid, potentially entering our Chris Gaines' eras, solving religion, getting standing ovations, and Randee introduces us to a site we were not at all prepared for as we officially enter our "Sketchy Sex" era. Plus, Randee introduces us to the world of Hinge and the concept of "rose jail", we check in on some guys who think the algorithm is against them, and a PGA Tour executive gives an insanely baffling interview.

Mon, 05 Jun 2023 07:16:56 -0000

Ivan Decker (comedian) returns to the show after a 230-episode absence to help explain one of the dangers of having a joke go viral online: idiots will try to tell you that the very hyperbolic facts you're offering in the joke about microwaves are wrong. It's Dutchposting gone wild in the comments, and Ivan's block finger gets itchy. We start the episode off on the right foot by discussing Ron DeSantis' insane lack of human emotion and feeling before getting into PoliSci guys, Stefan's return to being mean on Twitter, parenting TikTok, "Targeted Individuals", and Shohei Ohtani. Plus, Ivan introduces us to the concept of "baby-led weaning", and we go deep on TrumpBucks and Azealia Banks' advice for Taylor Swift regarding dating Matty Healy.

Christine Bortolin (comedian) joins the esteemed Four-Timers Club as she appears on a main episode of the show for a fourth time to tell us the tale of running a music venue's social media account and how that makes you responsible for destroying the attempts of various, obvious scammers trying to sell "tickets" to sold out shows. If this pod was live, it would definitely be sold out as we have a blast dipping into the Cameo well and visiting our friends the C*ck Destroyers, Christine discusses Everton's triumphant win and their avoidance of relegation, and we touch on seltzers, Pilates, horrific injuries, Michelle Pfeiffer, and uhh...acidic ejaculate. Plus, we learn there aren't a ton of people eating money online, Markelle Fultz gets himself into trouble for following a suspect account, and Stefan shows us one of the worst things AI has come up with so far.

Mon, 22 May 2023 06:14:31 -0000

Joe Kwaczala (comedian) joins the show to tell us about how creating something as a loving tribute doesn't always have its intended result, as Joe's comedy tribute to video game speedrunning documentarian Summoning Salt leads to a block. However, it seems mostly innocent and Joe has come to plead his case as to why the BP Community should help him get unblocked. Meanwhile, Stefan is back from Taiwan and it's our first main episode recorded in-person in nearly a month and it shows as we get a little loopy talking about sucking on coffee beans, getting too high, substitute teaching, and separating the wheat from the chaff. It's also been a minute and Twitter is crumbling by the day so it's a SUPER SOCIAL MEDIA UPDATE as we discuss Nick Adams, the Pepe Deluxe guy, Facebook fan pages, the stupid AI Ryan Reynolds Tesla "ad", and David Draiman of Disturbed continuing to be the most divorced man alive.

If you want to make a commitment to us that you'll never want a divorce from, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Mon, 15 May 2023 07:22:26 -0000

Dakota Ray Hebert (comedian) makes her debut on the show the day after Mother's Day by talking about, well, blocking her mom. Playing "Block Tag" for the last decade, Dakota tells us a great story of seeing her mom after a show, and finds the topic of various social media blocks an awkward topic of conversation among her family. But this episode is anything but awkward! In the last of the episodes we recorded before Stefan went to Taiwan, we discuss the Canadian Screen Awards, Love is Blind, the Food Disgust Test, and John desperately tries to remember the only horror movie he's ever seen. Plus, we discuss Indigenous bead work, a truly disgusting "CEO Update" from the CEO of Herman Miller after she refused to give employees bonuses, and Stefan buys a camera and microphone to communicate with Kiki while he is away.

Mon, 08 May 2023 08:13:12 -0000

Jacob Samuel (comedian) tells us about the time that he was preparing for an album taping for Just for Laughs and got into it with a local showrunner who didn't want to give Jacob stage time for some reason and caught the block. Luckily, there are lots of great reasons to give Jacob mic time on our show, as something pretty big happened since last time Jacob was here: he won a damn Juno! We discuss what it means to win a "Canadian Grammy" in Covid times and we go deep on rec league sports: coming back after a long layoff, getting injured, bad players, picking the right division, and the craziness that is rec league ball hockey. We also find time for Stalin and data collection too. Plus! Jacob tells us about RV Instagram, Stefan finds out that Tony Posnanski referenced us in a blog post, and John gets a nice greeting from the people who repaired his blender.

Mon, 01 May 2023 05:53:41 -0000

Raft (comedian, writer) returns to the show for the THIRD time to regale us about a time they had to block a catfish after realizing they were not the porn star they were pretending to be. But hey, the gangbang probably would've been pretty cool. You know what else is cool? The rest of this episode, as we discuss the angel emoji, dirty sodas, Raft's recent trip to Canada, Cindy Margolis, and we stumble upon yet another revelation that could only happen on a Raft episode: the eyes are the balls of the face. Plus, we chat Instagram life coaches, the soft drink brand Olipop, and we take a peek at some pretty unhinged candle smells.

Episode 231: Sasha Mark v. A Grindr Guy

Mon, 24 Apr 2023 09:06:13 -0000

Sasha Mark (comedian) joins the show for the first time to tell us about a Grindr match that he hooked up with pre-pandemic who went a little wild during COVID: anti-vax, anti-woke, etc...and then still wanted to hook up with Sasha again after blocking him on every social media app. It's a wild ride and a great Block Tale for Sasha's first appearance on BP. And that's not all the gay dating app stuff we get into, as Sasha takes us on a deep--and we mean DEEP--dive into the world of Sniffies, a dating app that really cuts to the chase, even faster than Grindr, which we did not think was possible. We also chat about grilled cheese, gas station bathrooms, and chugging beer. Plus, we also get into social media birthdays, AI weirdos, Israel Adesanya, and we all learn that Spencer Rice is 60 and we do not like it.

Mon, 17 Apr 2023 06:39:36 -0000

Bridget Todd (podcaster) joins the show to tell us about how she acted on a feeling many of us have had: frustration with Neil deGrasse Tyson's lame posts to the point where she needed to block him. Thankfully there's no frustration to be had with the great content on this episode, as we discuss the various ad reads we've had to undertake for our respective shows, Gamer Goo's lame-ass rebrand, how fast food hits different in different areas and countries, and John and Stefan finally recount their long-anticipated hockey pool trip. Plus, Bridget introduces us to #WaterTok and pisses us all off in the process, John sees a good golf tweet (they exist!) and Stefan shows us the wonderful Miami Marlins song written by none other than Creed's Scott Stapp.

Episode 229: Ryan Beil v. A&W Canada

Mon, 10 Apr 2023 08:00:39 -0000

Ryan Beil (comedian) joins the show and it's a long way from being our first-ever bonus episode guest, as he tells us the story of how A&W commercials changed his life...until he was fired from them. And then until he was rehired by them. And then fired again. It's a story that will resonate for Canadians and actors everywhere, and ends with Ryan forced to block the account of the beloved fast food chain. There are many great things that will resonate with the listeners this week, as we discuss dogs, Old Guys, old tweets, KFC's Oopee, and even though John and Stefan are now back from their vacation together, this episode was recorded before we left, so you're gonna hear all about it. Plus, Ryan tells of how his algorithm changed after spending a month in Regina, we ponder about our blue check futures, John watches Mancow get "waterboarded", and the Blocked Boys agree to perform a one-act play together.

Jackie Pirico (comedian) joins the show for the first time to tell us about an ex who didn't treat her very well, and so she had to result to some very intoxicated commenting on his Instagram that led to a big-time block. Whomst among us has not committed such an action? Thankfully we are sober for this episode, as we learn an awful lot about salt licks and raccoon dogs, Stefan tries to get John to reveal where they're going on their surprise hockey pool trip this week, and Jackie and John compare notes about being caked up.

It's a tale that truly has to be heard to be believed. As for what you'll hear on the rest of the show, we get into KFC Double Downs, cotton candy, gaslighting, and an extended meditation on Ontario's finest bulk food chain, Bulk Barn.

Mon, 20 Mar 2023 07:20:50 -0000

It's been 226 episodes and we somehow have only just now arrived at our first-ever online gaming block, as Ben Fawcett (Popcorn for Dinner, Not Even a Show) joins us to detail how he broke the "unwritten rules" of FIFA online and ended up having to block a guy for pestering him about it. After Producer Dan's vacation, it's our first episode in 2.5 weeks and we shake off the rust by getting into university newspapers, Cards Against Humanity, mythical birds, and Dan gives us all the details about his vacation and by that we mean, he tells about his really bad farts when he got back.

Mon, 13 Mar 2023 07:09:00 -0000

Bobby Warrener (comedian) joins the show to tell us about a real-life block courtesy of living with fellow comedian Will Hannigan. It turns out drinking, drugs, and comedians living together is a bad combination, as Bobby learns the hard way when he gets kicked out of his house after being very stupid one night. The story isn't all bad though, as it is a stepping stone to Bobby's (and Will's) eventual sobriety and they are back to being great friends. And we make great friends with Bobby on this episode as well, as we chat about teacher fashion, the newest in WHL names, Mr. Hands, underground rappers, and Stefan cannot resist showing Joey to Bobby. Plus, Bobby has gamed his algorithm to only show him nice things, Stefan brings a crazy Jordan Peterson quote to the show, and John finds a woman online who makes people pay her to come up with deranged baby names for them.

Episode 224: Caitlin Durante v. A Bumble Match

Mon, 06 Mar 2023 08:02:21 -0000

Caitlin Durante (comedian) joins the show IN-STUDIO, as they were up the coast for a Bechdel Cast tour and decided to continue on to Vancouver for a few beautiful days in February. Lucky us! This episode is a weird time-warp, recorded a few weeks ago as Producer Dan is now on vacation, but what a time warp it is, as Caitlin describes a time that they were "frothing" with horniness and ended up in a weird Bumble situation with a guy who was very unstimulating conversationally, but was hot. So it is what it is. And it doesn't stop there, as we get into Roseanne's doomed comedy set, mullets, Heathcliff's "sexy" girlfriend, and we try to bet on the Puppy Bowl. Plus, landlords with weird solutions, a very sexy "overseen" text at a New York Islanders game, and Caitlin tells us about their new social media activity, which is stitching "I'm a Believer" by Smash Mouth into dramatic movie scenes.

Episode 223: Emily Heller v. A Comedian

Mon, 27 Feb 2023 07:26:09 -0000

Emily Heller (comedian, writer) gets blocked by a comedian who took a turn for the worse at some point and ended up at January 6th. Whether Emily was blocked pre-January 6th or not, an inflammatory tweet on the fateful day sealed it, and she lived to tell the Tale. She also lives to tell us a bunch more stuff, as we chat about pull-out couches, doormats, writing jokes in our dreams, and we learn an awful lot about hot peppers. Elsewhere, we also chat about Tarot TikTok, our friend dril has a great tweet about the state of Twitter, and Stefan shows us a truly cursed promoted tweet reply. And if that's not enough, John and Emily's recent friendship over Jeopardy! explodes in the Top 3 and we decide that we may have to start an entire podcast about it.

If you want more and varied episodes of this podcast, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. Last week, we posted two great episodes, one for our $8 and above donors where John watched Goodfellas for the first time and dissected it with our friend Dan O'Sullivan, and another which was the first in a new series we're calling Heck/Cullen, where John and Stefan do a bit more of a serious-style interview with one of our more interesting friends. Episode 1 featured Steve Sladkowski from PUP, and it was a blast! We've also got merch discounts, a great Discord, and more, so check it out!

Episode 222: Alex Schmidt v. the "Today I Learned" Subreddit

Mon, 20 Feb 2023 07:44:48 -0000

Alex Schmidt (Secretly Incredibly Fascinating) is most likely our nicest guest ever and comes down into the internet trenches with the Blocked Boys to tell the tale of how he was blocked by the "Today I Learned" subreddit for having the audacity to have his listeners cite his podcast when posting facts on their subreddit. It's truly one of the more baffling blocks in show history, but makes for a great Tale. And Alex makes for a great guest as we discuss time zones, Alex leaving Twitter, and a conversation about the Grammys leads to the fellas deciding they're going to try and win one. Also not to be missed is Stefan putting in a virtuoso performance on the Learned League "Iconic Tweets" quiz and it's John behind the wheel of "Real or Fake" as he puts Stefan and Alex to the test with a taco restaurant's insane menu that our friend Bryan Quinby showed us a few weeks ago.

If you want something real, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. Yesterday, we released the first video episode of "Stefan Takes an L", the soon-to-be recurring series where Stefan learns how to drive, and John teaches him.

Mon, 13 Feb 2023 08:16:50 -0000

Debra DiGiovanni (comedian) keeps us rolling on our "First-Timers Club" Sweeps Month, as she makes her show debut with a very strange PRE-block, as she discovers a comedian who went after fat people had blocked her without Deb ever interacting with her or saying anything about the routine at all. It's a fitting block for a wild episode, as we talk Tim Horton's, insane American "coffees", Trader Joe's, visas, and mean border guards. Plus, Deb tells us about her "Fake Boyfriend Fridays", Stefan gives us an update on the whole Twitter API fiasco, and John receives an unhinged message from a patron over on the POD Kast Patreon.

Despite being a First-Timer, Nathan immediately gets into the vibe of the show as we go after zombies as villains, saying no to things, the Rocky movies, and we go very heavy on the video game content, touching on games both old and new. He also gets disappointed when a follower makes a promise that he gets nowhere near following through on. Elsewhere, Nathan has a bunch of pilots following him after a joke of his goes viral in pilot world, Stefan gives us the latest update on the continuing train of bad decisions Elon Musk is making with regards to Twitter, and John's issues with Mr. Beast's curing of the blind sparks a whole discussion about YouTube content creation.

If you want more of the content we create, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. Continuing with the First-Timers theme, this month will see the first episode in the new video series where John teaches Stefan how to drive called "Stefan Takes An L" and the first episode in our new interview series, Heck/Cullen. PLUS! This week, Alison Rosen joins us for the conclusion of the "...And Just Like That" series. We also have merch discounts, live show discounts, a great Discord, and a lot more, so check it out!

Mon, 30 Jan 2023 05:29:35 -0000

Alexander Edward (Minion Death Cult) finally guests on a main episode and it may not surprise you that the guy who has a podcast about Weird Facebook Guys was blocked by a Weird Facebook Guy. Go figure! It's a strange episode (even moreso than usual) as John is suffering from a fever and Stefan and Alex had unfortunate BMs just before recording, but we persevere and dig into the weird lore behind Betty Boop, go over some of our favourite Dumb Guy Facts, and John recounts the time he drank 5.2 litres of pop in one night. Plus, Alex gives us the scoop on Diamond's funeral, Stefan shows us the most poorly-cooked steak he's ever seen, and John shows the fellas the grumpy side of Curling Twitter.

If you want to be on our good side, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Meg is away on holidays so John takes over as Quizmaster for a battle between the Go Off Kings and bigsofttitty.png. It goes about as well as you'd expect. PLUS!

Mon, 23 Jan 2023 05:57:43 -0000

Darcy Michael (comedian) returns to the show after a nearly 4-year hiatus from being an in-studio guest to tell us about a right-wing website getting ahold of his and his husband's YouTube and firebombing the comments, leading to a collaboration with YouTube to block over 10,000 accounts at once. It's a bad-ass move and Darcy wastes no time getting re-acquainted with Stefan as we discuss Stefan's bidet, Connor Bedard, our hockey pool, the sorry state of the Vancouver Canucks, Darcy tells us about him and Jer touring America last year, and Darcy weighs in on whether or not Stefan is a power bottom. Plus, Darcy tells us about Drag Queen Storytime, Stefan breaks down the very fake "got her number" tweet, and John talks about his dislike of a recent Jeopardy! champion.

If you want to be a champion, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 07:54:13 -0000

We are 217 episodes into Blocked Party but Girl God prove that history can still be made, as this is the first time in show history that the two guests on the program have blocked EACH OTHER, and they do it LIVE on the air! Grace Freud and April Clark join us for the mutual blocking as well as to promote their upcoming Vancouver show, where they insist they will need an Air Marshal present. We also discuss tote bags, receiving mild criticism, bumper pool, lawn bowling, summer school, Stefan is back with an I Was Poisoned update, and John finds the most cursed gym ever on TikTok. Plus, a top 3 goes off the rails for both John and Stefan to the point where they need to record one of the few (maybe the first?) addendums in show history.

If you want an addendum to this episode that's a back catalogue with over 150 bonus episodes, then head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every dang month.

Episode 216: Erika Gajda v. Tinder

Mon, 09 Jan 2023 07:40:32 -0000

Erika Gajda (Swipes4Daddy) joins the show to talk about the trials and tribulations of running a very popular Instagram account that requires the use of Tinder, particularly once the folks over at Tinder HQ figure out exactly what Erika is up to and try to make her life that much more difficult. We discover Erika's insane number of burner phones, her attempts to dodge facial recognition software, and how to put the right photos on Tinder so the bots can't figure out exactly who you are. It's a wild ride, and we love every second of it. On this ride, Erika also tells us about the food poisoning bout that led to her cancelling her first appearance and the movies she watched, as John reveals he had a strangely busy movie-watching holiday season also. We also talk That 70s Show, 90-Day Fiancé, reprogramming the algorithm, France's Miss World representative, and Stefan is once again on his "I Was Poisoned" BS.

If you want a lot less BS and a lot more BP, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every damn month. This week, Clare Belford joins us for a mailbag as we begin our quest to get to 150 $100 Club patrons so John is forced to teach Stefan to drive (which we will then film for your enjoyment). And the $100 Club (it's $100/year, not per month) is a great time as you get merch discounts, free live show tickets, every bonus episode, ad-free episodes, and access to the year-end BP Lottery, with exclusive prizes and other fun stuff. So get into it!

Episode 215: Dino Archie v. Himself

Mon, 02 Jan 2023 07:49:04 -0000

Dino Archie (comedian) returns to the show to teach us all about taking the low road, and how a group of impostors pretended to be 90s R&B singer Tony Terry and managed to separate Dino from his own personal Facebook fan page. So take your shoes off and settle in to a great episode where we discuss Stefan and Dan's eventual fight, breaking up fights, our Subway orders, and we debate which fast food employees make the best fighters (public fights were sorta the theme of this one). Plus, Dino shows us a great clip from an open mic where a guy busts a guitar over someone's head, Stefan has a beef with the Sportsnet Plays of the Year, and John's dad draws a potato.

If you want to draw something much better, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to the greatest art imaginable: Blocked Party bonus content.

Episode 214: The 2023 Blocked Party Enemies List

Mon, 26 Dec 2022 07:48:00 -0000

It's the 4th Annual Blocked Party Enemies List, and it's the first time we've recorded this episode before Christmas, as the folks at the damn calendar office wouldn't co-operate. So while you don't get the usual Christmas rundown from the fellas, what you DO get is our annual look at who we want to be mortal enemies with for the upcoming year. Before that, we go over our 2022 Enemies List, where Stefan finds out that he didn't really have an effective vendetta against most of his 2022 Enemies but John actually managed to get a business shut down (probably). And before ALL that, we talk the best Mario game ever, weed drinks, moving to Calgary, Stefan gives his Avatar review, John gets Stefan to agree to organize the 2023 Top Three Weekend, and Dan joins us in doing the Enemies List for the first time ever. FIFTEEN ENEMIES! It's the day after Christmas: no better time to get hatin'.

Also, if you'd like to support the show, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty. We got lots of cool stuff over there. Bonus episodes. Merch Discounts. Discord Access. It's cool (as I said previously).

Episode 213: Stefan v. NORAD Santa Tracker w/ Mark Little

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 08:05:03 -0000

It's a historic day at Blocked Party, as we do a Stefan block on a main episode and Mark Little (comedian) sets the record for the fastest return by a guest, coming back only 8 episodes after Appearance #1. Why? Well, our scheduled guest came down with the stomach flu a few hours before recording. Then, John came down with a migraine. With John knowing he barely had an hour before his body gave in, we switched Mark from bonus episode duty to regular episode duty, and John ended up with his "flu game", leaving the pod several times throughout but returning just in time to do an Andrew Dice Clay impression and according to Mark, reveal a more "cool, chill" version of himself. Of course, with John out of the picture, Stefan immediately introduces Mark to Rule 34 and Dewayne, and tries to figure out how he managed to get blocked by the NORAD Santa Tracker. Elsewhere, Producer Dan wears a dress shirt, Stefan reveals he can't read, Elon makes a new and bizarre rule for Twitter, and we wax poetic about the World Cup and 90s reboots.

If you want to be a part of more history, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month, plus a truly insane back catalogue totalling over 100 episodes. You get it all! 5 bucks! What a deal! Last week, we released the VOD of our live call-in show from November, and Chris James joined us to talk about "...And Just Like That". Plus we've got merch discounts, a discord, ad-free episodes, and more, so be a part of history!

Episode 212: James Hartnett v. Jeff Blair

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 06:57:04 -0000

James Hartnett (comedian, Evil Men) joins us to reveal his shameful truth to the BP audience: he has a sports burner account. And it turns out that you can still be a victim of name searching on a harmless burner account, which James finds out when he gets blocked by Sportsnet's own Jeff Blair for a comment that wasn't even directed at him. This episode also sees Stefan revealing a shameful truth, which is that he knows what Bad Dragon [dot] com is, and now, very, very unfortunately, so do you. We spend a good amount of time reviewing the contents of that site as well as bidets, poutine, 90s video games, dessert tables, and John makes friends with a cat. Plus, James has a friend who uses Facebook like Twitter, John asks the guys to weigh in on fudge, and Stefan graces us with the news that the Krassensteins are back on Twitter.

If you want more Krassenstein content (quite literally--we interviewed them a few years back), you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Mon, 05 Dec 2022 05:09:13 -0000

Annie Rauwerda (Depths of Wikipedia) joins the show to tell us about a thing we didn't know existed: a guy who is really into noses. After a guy is in her mentions telling her how much he loves her nose, Annie has a bunch of her friends telling her to block him, but the story takes a few turns from there and ends up being one of the nicer Block Tales we've ever had on the show. And the whole show is nice in general, as we find out we're recording the show on Annie's birthday, the first time a guest has been willing to spend their birthday with us! What a birthday it is, too, as we learn about her new boyfriend, the Wikipedia editing community, and various Wikipedia hoaxes, including the teenager who almost killed an entire language with their Wikipedia posts. Plus, Stefan shows us a bunch of posts from guys who want Elon to invent stuff, John gets outed as a guy who looks like he might own a Tesla, and Annie shows us a piece of underwater fibre-optic cable.

If you want to go underwater with us, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every damn month!

Mon, 28 Nov 2022 08:30:05 -0000

Alyssa Limperis (comedian, actor) joins the show to give us the heads up that even if you post about your recently deceased father, the bots will still hunt and find you. In this case, it's "RyloStackz" who finds an Alyssa Instagram post about her dad and promises an herbal cure (?) for HPV (???). Thank goodness for that. And thank goodness for the rest of the episode, as we chat about old cell phones and other technologies, Alyssa's high school track career, John's abysmal high school Athletic Director, and the various mispronunciations of our names. Plus, Alyssa shows us her high school photos which causes some reminiscing about late 90s/early 00s "cool" fashion, Stefan gets laid off from his job, and dril gets interviewed in the Washington Post, which causes some commenters to lose their minds.

Episode 209: Producer Dan v. BigBearGrizzly

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 08:33:42 -0000

When your scheduled guest doesn't show up, sometimes you have no choice but to resort to your next best option: a very stoned, just-woke-up, groggy Producer Dan. We try to wake Dan up by talking about G Fuel right off the top of the show, and that leads into a discussion about Dan's brand-new kittens (one of whom is named after piss) and his block, which sees him catch an instant block from an online wrestler (the real kind of wrestling). We also dive into Twitter's recent turn to collapse, trading card shows, Stefan learning to drive, and John's excitement for the documentary about the Pepsi contest Harrier Jet turns into a discovery mission for other people who have exploited mail-in contests for their own gain. Elsewhere, Dan buys a blue checkmark, Stefan shares an old Russell Crowe post, and John gives us an update on last week: Dan did indeed show us his single nut.

If you don't want to buy a blue checkmark, how about spending that money on our show instead? We love your support and if you become a patron of the show over at patreon.com/blockedparty, $5/month will get you access to THREE bonus episodes every damn month.

Episode 208: Ola Dada v. 4 Words

Mon, 14 Nov 2022 07:24:01 -0000

Ola Dada (comedian) joins the show to demonstrate one of the greatest displays of control we've seen in a Block Tale, as someone commenting on his viral joke starts their reply with four words and those four words are enough to earn that person the block without Ola even reading the rest of what they said. What are the words? You'll have to tune in to find out! When you tune in, you'll hear way more than four words from us, as we talk gift wrap, desserts, cheese, curling, Dan's dead nut, adult circumcision, and Stefan receives some "constructive criticism" on his hockey podcast. Plus, we dive into the online presence of alpha males, Twitter's insane last 10 days, and the world grants John the music festival of his dreams.

Mon, 07 Nov 2022 06:58:41 -0000

Lizzy Cooperman (comedian) plumbs the depths of her Facebook block list to find a weirdo who offered to draw her at a stand-up comedy show and then when he showed her the picture...well, let's just say it was problematic. How so? You'll have to listen to find out. And as you listen, you'll hear us discuss Lizzy's podcast, "In Your Hands", where she lets her listeners decide how to live her life, and John, spurred on by an old Eric Andre interview, thinks maybe that should include listening to some more Korn. We also get into assembling IKEA furniture, Crocs, journaling, Instagram verification, Eric Trump, and Buddhist movie reviews.

Mon, 31 Oct 2022 06:01:42 -0000

Brandon Ash-Mohammed (comedian) joins us in-studio for the very first time to regale us with the tale of how he met up with someone who looked like "bootleg Eminem" off of Grindr and then had a very strange hook-up experience that led to a block. And that's not the only Grindr-type experience we get into, as Brandon updates where Stefan and John stand in the gay classification system now that he's met us in person, and he gives Stefan a compliment that Stefan believes is the highest he has received. And speaking of being high, Brandon tries BC weed for the first time and we chat about 90-Day Fiancé, hair loss treatment, Movie 43, Brandon's algorithm, 90s textbook covers, and Bob Costas has himself another weird broadcasting moment.

Episode 205: Mark Little v. A Bad Fella

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 06:36:51 -0000

Mark Little (actor/comedian) joins the show to, in his words, provide us with a "short, troubling anecdote" about how he was forced to block a guy after he sent Mark a very strange DM and turned out to be...well, not a good guy (a Nazi). Thankfully Mark was able to cut the conversation off before it got too bad and the rest of this episode is neither short nor troubling, as we chat about Mark creating one of the first viral videos ever, Powerthirst, and how that led to an appearance at a weird convention for people who made stuff that went viral (in 2009). In other news, we recorded this episode two weeks ago and Stefan says he's excited for the Canucks season (lol) and that leads to a discussion of hockey fans, EA NHL soundtracks, and Treble Charger. Plus! Hellraiser and other horror movies, the Super Mario movie, YouTube comments on classic rock videos, and John forgot that he already talked about Coyote Ugly last week.

If you want to make sure you hear everything we talk about every week, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 204: Zach Cherry v. John Legere

Mon, 17 Oct 2022 06:59:23 -0000

Zach Cherry (actor, Severance) joins the show to reveal two things about himself: one, that he is a big BP fan, and two, that he could no longer handle the promoted tweets of slow cooker expert and former T-Mobile CEO John Legere, and so he had to dole out the block. Luckily our John doesn't get blocked on this episode, as his viewing of Coyote Ugly sparks a movie conversation, Zach reveals that by listening to our show he has been Joey-pilled, and a look into the phrase origins of "taking the piss" leads us to talking about, well...drinking piss. Elsewhere, we talk about Zach's quest to get as many retweets as possible on a singular tweet, John once again goes viral for just reporting the latest sports happening, and Stefan is back from TwitchCon with the inside scoop on the dreaded foam pit.

Episode 203: Demi Lardner and Tom Walker v. A Huge Fan

Mon, 10 Oct 2022 07:59:10 -0000

The guests who have travelled the furthest to be in studio and two of our absolute faves, Tom Walker and Demi Lardner (comedians, bigsofttitty.png) join the show all the way from Sydney, Australia to discuss how one of Tom's biggest fans just couldn't handle the fact he got COVID and had to cancel some comedy shows. We have no trouble handling the tough topics on this week's episode though, as we get into some heavy stuff like slot car racing message boards, losing our virginity, witches on Tumblr, cane toad purses, and we go down another Rule 34 rabbit hole that leads to discussion of Goofy's history and we find a truly insane (and hilarious) Looney Tunes drawing.

If you want more insane (and hilarious) content, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

And we....are....LIVE! On the very first live edition of Blocked Party, Jesse Farrar (YKS, Go Off Kings) joins the Blocked Boys in Vancouver for a show in front of 110 of the podcast's finest fans, and it turns out having a live audience there is an excuse to get wild, as Jesse doesn't know how to use TikTok and gets himself blocked by "one of his guys", causing him to delete his entire account and start anew. Elsewhere on the show, Jesse teaches us about "reps" through the infamous "Booty Jordans" and Stefan thinks the name "Top Three Weekend" is wrong. Plus! Jesse meets Kiki, and we discuss phone numbers, toilets, A&W Canada, Jeffrey Toobin, Stefan getting mean online again, and John gets Jesse a gift: a National Geographic for Kids book about 9/11.

Mon, 26 Sep 2022 07:11:54 -0000

Dana Smith (comedian) makes her debut on the show, and so does our new opening bit, much to Producer Dan's consternation. The rest of the episode doesn't make him upset at all though, as Dana tells us about her and her husband (and past guest) Tim Gray's wedding, which happened live on CBC Radio, and their upcoming big move to Toronto. John also gives Stefan and Dan some grief for showing up to recording 3 hours early, we discuss some plans for the upcoming live shows, we learn about Winnipeg, and Dana and John encourage Stefan to sing more. Plus, Dana has us weigh in on a suspicious DM, Joe Biden has a strange way of complimenting Elton John, and we dig into the vault for Patrice O'Neal's take on Radiohead's "Creep".

If you don't want to be a creep or a weirdo, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This week, Dana returns along with Tim for one of our most chaotic mailbags ever, and we'll likely have some clips of the live show coming shortly after.

Episode 200: David J. Roth v. Republican Commenter Guys

Mon, 19 Sep 2022 06:09:23 -0000

IT'S EPISODE 200!!! A double century's worth of BP can only be celebrated in one way, and that's by getting Dave Roth (Defector) on the show to Remember Some Guys. It turns out that a unique way you can get blocked by Republican pests on Twitter is not to try and get in a flame war with them over politics, but by simply commenting which baseball player their ratio'ed stat line might be best compared to. It's a block that only Dave could pick up and he uses it to get blocked by such luminaries as Comfortably Smug. The rest of the episode is all comfort and perhaps not a lot of smug, as we go extra long and talk about some of our favourite topics like bidets, the weird guys on Twitter who show their junk to porno bots, carpeted bathrooms, our student meals, and we do indeed Remember Some Guys in our Top 3. Plus, Erick Erickson, Stefan's N64 hot takes, and John finally reveals the type of Wife Guy he is.

If you want to be a Blocked Party Wife Guy, you can donate to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. Last week, Andrea Jin joined us in our continuing series where we review "And Just Like That", the new Sex and the City spin-off, and we've got a sweet $100 Club where you can get a Cameo from Stefan and John, all the bonus episodes plus an extra one every other month, merch discounts, ad-free episodes, and an exclusive Discord channel. No better way to celebrate episode 200 than with a $100 Club membership!

Episode 199: Ryan Williams v. Ryan Williams

Mon, 12 Sep 2022 07:02:38 -0000

Ryan Williams (comedian) returns to the show and tells us about the perils of having a very common first and last name combo, as he duels with a conservative politician on Twitter who is also named, well, Ryan Williams. Lucky for us, the Ryan Williams we love is the one who is guesting on our show, and he reveals himself to be a "John guy" and all that entails over the course of an episode where we touch on football, Farrah Fawcett, Queen Elizabeth, and we workshop what the new intro for the show should be with next week's new theme song and whether or not the show should add a soundboard. John also gets plagued with the news of a "Tim Allen drum kit" and Stefan pays tribute to us recording on 9/11 with an unfortunate podcast moment from last year.

If you want some more fortunate podcast moments, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 198: Charlie Demers v. A Friend

Mon, 05 Sep 2022 06:40:57 -0000

Charlie Demers (comedian) returns to the show with the rare Block Tale that has a happy ending, as a weird text exchange with an old friend ends up turning out positively and cooler heads prevail. And speaking of cooler heads, us Blocked Boys and Charlie talk about some pretty cool stuff as Stefan gets sick from the fair, Charlie teaches us lessons about our urine, and John is almost through his first watching of The Sopranos. Plus, we chat about how Charlie actually followed through with more Peep This Out! content after his last appearance on the show, and we get into One Bone shirts, Rob Schneider's new movie, the Pizza Hut "oral history", and we receive perhaps our worst Jibbitz yet.

If you want some more of this show's oral history, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every damn month.

Episode 197: Racquel Belmonte v. The Pope

Mon, 29 Aug 2022 07:07:33 -0000

It's chaos, baby! And what more would you expect from one of our absolute faves, Racquel Belmonte (comedian), who returns to the show to drive the entire thing directly off the highway and into a rapidly flowing ravine. It starts almost immediately as discussion of The Sopranos devolves into a long segment about pegging, and never really recovers from there. Stefan buys a bidet live on the show after using John's for the first time in a while, while Racquel regales us about a particularly strong bidet in Hawaii that she uhh...used for other purposes. It's not all insane though, as John and Stefan discuss the wedding they went to over the weekend, Harry Styles waxes poetic about chicken nuggets, Twitter goes wild over student debt forgiveness, and we listen in on some Gaelic football commentary. Oh, and Racquel tries profusely to get blocked by The Pope and when she doesn't, agrees to commit a sin live on air. Which one? You'll have to listen to find out!

If you want to commit a more tasteful sin, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This week, Chris James returns to the show to discuss Stefan getting blocked by Benny Johnson, and last week saw the release of our second Secret Party episode, as Nathan Hare joined us to break down some listener secrets.

Episode 196: Mo Amir v. Sukh Dhaliwal

Mon, 22 Aug 2022 07:53:00 -0000

Mo Amir (This is Vancolour) joins the show and brings a little local Vancouver flavour to the podcast, as he gets blocked by a local Member of Parliament despite them never interacting, even after the block when Mo tried to sort it out through official channels. It's a great look into what it means to host a local politics-focused TV show, and how even our government can get down in the muck with us Twitter weirdos. We start out away from our familiar medium by getting into TikTok and paring down our algorithms, and move from there into our favourite older technology: Maxim Magazine. We also chat about casino bands, we get a listener update on Every Buddy's, John's dad gets into Young Sheldon, we read Ryan Giggs' love poems, and Stefan introduces us to Real or Fake: Peep This Out edition.

If you wanna peep some more content out, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. Last week, our Sex and the City series continued with listener Molly, and this week, it's the triumphant return of SECRET PARTY, the special bonus episodes where we read your listener secrets.

Episode 195: Joshua Custodio v. Ryback

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 07:22:50 -0000

It's a rare "BP Nights" version of the show as long-time bonus guest and first-time main episode guest Joshua Custodio (Wrestling Brain) joins the Blocked Boys to give us the inside scoop on why former WWE big man Ryback didn't just block Josh, but then immediately stole the meme he blocked him for. With all of us feeling the juice from the moon being in the sky, things descend quickly as Josh picks a tough opening for John and Stefan won't let John get the intro out, either. Once things finally do get rolling, we talk about the five-year anniversary of the Go Off Kings, John somehow talks his way into watching a Joey, and we get sent a truly cursed Jibbitz from a truly cursed Jibbitz dealer. Plus, we go deep on the odds on Kim Kardashian's new beau, Tony Jefferson, Antonio Brown, cops on Hinge, and John debuts a new impression.

If you want to be our new beau, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month, This week, contest winner and listener Molly joins us in-studio all the way from London to discuss episode 4 of "And Just Like That" in our continuing bonus series, and we've got another Secret Party on the way very soon too.

Episode 194: Robin Hatch v. Kanye West

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 07:00:01 -0000

Robin Hatch (musician) doesn't pick up the block from the man himself, but a tweet cheekily comparing her positive album review in the Guardian with a less-than-positive review of Kanye's album "Donda" in the same publication earns her a lot of unwanted attention from people who don't quite understand the joke, to the point where she even takes a phone call about it offline. This episode starts with some offline content too, as the Blocked Boys and Robin ponder stick families and Robin offers up yet another pronunciation of "decal" we bet you didn't see coming. From there, we get into Boston Pizza, Tim Hortons' weird "Dream" donuts, celebrity trading cards, the Trapt guy, and Robin gets into it with Selena Gomez's fanbase--which we learn are called "Selenators"--in an attempt to get blocked for the pod.

If you want to be a part of our fanbase, you can donate to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 193: Sexual Jumanji v. Elon Musk

Mon, 01 Aug 2022 07:48:00 -0000

Sexual Jumanji (Trill Withers Show) makes his debut appearance on the program after we had originally booked him two years ago but some Disney Adults made his life increasingly difficult. We get into that and his block by the Twitter Purchaser himself, Elon Musk, which results in a happy ending when Joe Rogan gets involved to get SexJ (aka "John Musk", Elon's brother) unblocked. That energy permeates the whole episode as we get into angry sports parents, Rudy Giuliani trading cards, and Producer Dan takes a picture of himself pooping. Plus! We get a very good homemade Jibbitz, a Seattle Mariners prospect gets put on the spot, and SexJ tells us about his foray into the world of ventriloquism.

If you want to foray further into the world of Blocked Party, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 192: Kelly Dwyer v. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 06:41:24 -0000

Kelly Dwyer (basketball writer) fittingly gets blocked by one of the NBA's all-time leaders in blocks (both on the court and apparently off), for mostly just reporting that people were beefing with Kareem for one reason or another. If we seem a little off this episode, it's because we are forced to record early so Stefan can go on a picnic, which we break down in full detail here. We also get into full details on Canadian beers, upscale-casual restaurants, NHL draft picks, and there's an update on the poop in John's apartment building. Plus! Guitar tones, The Rehearsal, horrible viral tweets, and Kelly breaks down his terrible Twitter Likes situation.

If you want a situation you'll definitely like, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This week, Will Weldon returns to the show as we get into Stefan's famous KFC block, and the VOD from last Friday's live show where we broke down horrible Memmos with the boys from Minion Death Cult will also go up.

Episode 191: Stacey McLachlan v. Kelladactyl

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 07:10:37 -0000

Stacey McLachlan (comedian) returns after a too-long absence from the show to tell us about having to block an Instagram/TikTok dancer for moving in a weird way. Not in general, just weird to Stacey. And we pair that with a very grim listener block to really balance it all out. That's not all the listeners contribute this week, as we get a ton of new Jibbitz for the #JibbitzChallenge, from some more horrible Friends ones to a Yoda one Stefan seems to actually love unironically. We also get into virtual pets, Babygram, hot tubs, Alan Dershowitz's book feedback, the tasteless Fox Sports baseball promo, and Stacey regales us with the crazy story of how her and her husband used a professional wrestling event to name their baby.

If you want to contribute to our baby (this show), you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 190: Malik Elassal v. A Friend's Ex

Mon, 11 Jul 2022 07:08:14 -0000

Malik Elassal (comedian) joins the show for the first time to tell us about a friend's ex who went rogue to start the pandemic and forced Malik into blocking her after some very strange comments regarding Malik getting COVID early in the pandemic. After we learn that Malik's day job is as a mattress delivery man, we discuss the logistics of delivering mattresses and Stefan and John dive into their days working as manual laborers. Then, a discussion of what restaurants had to deal with the "rats in the food" urban myths leads to a reappearance of Joey on the program, much to John's chagrin. Plus! Malik's Instagram feed is populated with gym guys, Maya Rudolph loses her mind on Hot Ones, and Stefan finds a wholesome, Megan Thee Stallion-appreciating TikTok.

If you want to appreciate more of our wholesome content, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 189: Jesse Thorn v. Merrill Markoe

Mon, 04 Jul 2022 07:24:39 -0000

Jesse Thorn (Jordan, Jesse, Go!, Bullseye) joins the show with a very original Block Tale, a first in show history, as he gets blocked by the former head writer of The Late Show with David Letterman for making her sit in traffic. It's a true California Block Tale and in true California fashion, we spend a great deal of the show talking about frozen treats, from Jesse's high-end home ice machine to the best selections to come from the ice cream truck. John also gets roasted for a horrendous analogy, Stefan bucks the trend by being the one to talk about nu-metal with the Alien Ant Farm discourse, and we learn about scromiting. Plus, dogs on roofs, Paul F. Tompkins, and Antiques Roadshow.

Jesse Thorn is a podcaster who is the founder of Maximum Fun and can be heard on "Jordan, Jesse, Go!" and "Judge John Hodgman" on a weekly basis. You can also hear his show, "Bullseye", on NPR. You can follow him on Twitter at @jessethorn.

Episode 188: Ginny Hogan v. Blake Masters

Mon, 27 Jun 2022 06:57:47 -0000

Ginny Hogan (writer/comedian) returns to the show in the midst of her "eat pray love" journey, a 3-week trip to Vancouver Island that ended up with her being too bored. So lucky for us, she decided to head to Vancouver for some standup shows and a visit to BPHQ, as she joins us in-studio and we learn all about her trip, from teaching herself to drive on some of Canada's gnarliest highways to an upcoming wedding in Alaska. And that's not all, as the Jibbitz Challenge begins in earnest with a 3-D printed homemade Jibbitz that may prove to be the best one we get, to a "scrunchie" one that absolutely looks like a butthole. Plus, we chat about Lucky Charms, scheduled tweets, District Fair bake-offs, group chat fails, and Ginny gets blocked by Senate candidate/ghoul Blake Masters for an innocuous foul.

If you want more innocuous content (that is also somewhat foul) then head on over to our Patreon at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. Last week, our video bonus episode with Dan O'Sullivan went live as we introduced him to some awful Dragon's Den and Bar Rescue content, and we go back to the awful well this week as Ben Flores returns for a Canadian Education episode about "Open Mike" with Mike Bullard.

Episode 187: Rachel Brodsky v. An Ex

Mon, 20 Jun 2022 06:52:45 -0000

Rachel Brodsky (writer) joins the show and immediately proves herself to be one of our smartest guests ever, as she comes up with the perfect answer to "what is the opposite of corn?", helps us with our lacking musical knowledge, and has the rare Block Tale that actually provides a moral and some genuine prescriptive advice. But as always, don't let all of that fool you, as we still drag Rachel way down into the mud with us as we read a Blocked Party Secret that involves us talking about pissing in a tent, a Facebook friend of John's finds a pet rat, and Dan eats Doritos for dinner. Plus! Stefan gives us an update on Jerry Saltz's coffee situation, Rachel introduces us to the new Nerf mascot, and Tim Allen takes some kids to Disneyland.

If you want to go to podcasting Disneyland, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every dang month!

Episode 186: Chris Locke v. A Comedian

Mon, 13 Jun 2022 06:27:27 -0000

Chris Locke (comedian, Evil Men) returns to the show with a Block Tale that we are all too familiar with: someone you haven't talked to in a decade gets weird in the DMs all of a sudden. That comes off of the back of a discussion about how the internet in general has us bummed lately, and we try to think of ways to return to the halcyon days of being online. It's not all bad though, as we talk horror movies, our emotions, and John's recent return from his honeymoon. Plus, John finally gets a chance to hit back at all the AI Art, Stefan shows us a video of a Rottweiler throwing up an interesting object (which leads to more...interesting discussion), we become shock jocks, and we introduce the Jibbitz Challenge.

If you want to accept the challenge of listening to more BP content, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 185: Jon Hendren v. Several Celebs

Mon, 06 Jun 2022 07:59:30 -0000

When John’s away, Stefan and Dan will play… and boy, did they ever. Along with co-host DB and returning guest Jon Hendren, the boys discuss the insane shit they’ve made with Midjourney AI, Jon’s blood clot scare, and what sort of huge spiders they’ve got in Australia. As well, Jon lists a murderer’s row of celebs he’s been blocked by (and isn’t entirely sure why). Plus, John calls in from his Hawaiian honeymoon to see how the episode is going… and he’s not exactly surprised with the results.

If you want more results you won't be surprised by, head on over to our Patreon at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 184: Bryan Quinby v. Tom Leykis

Mon, 30 May 2022 06:53:09 -0000

Bryan Quinby (Street Fight Radio) returns to the show to run through an important event in BP history: John and Becca getting married! Becca hops on the show for a little bit to discuss the night that was, from the lovely time we had to Stefan's new suit to Dan almost passing out at dinner. Bryan regales us with the story of his wedding as well, and it's perhaps a bit more wild than John's (not surprisingly). But we've got plenty of non-matrimony content too! Once Becca leaves, we find time to get into legal drugs, the Mormon tradition of "dirty soda", Joc Pederson's fantasy football dispute, and Stefan gets a slap on the wrist from EA. Plus, Bryan gets blocked by a shock jock and we run through our stupidest-ever injuries.

If you want to feel less stupid (or more, I guess), you can support the show over at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Mon, 23 May 2022 06:37:24 -0000

Rachel Feltman (author) joins the show to talk about that frightening yet seminal moment in every 11 year-old's life: when they have their first online crush reciprocated and then immediately panic and block them. Rachel runs us through the whole tale as we revisit summer camp all over again. Speaking of seminal life moments, the countdown is on for John and Becca's wedding and we discuss Dan and Stefan's fashion choices for the upcoming affair and wonder who might be the wedding's "fashion wild card" of the evening. You might be surprised by the answer! We also get into Crocs charms, wedding gifts, niche TikTok, burlesque, and Stefan introduces us to a great moment in sports commentary history.

Episode 182: Alistair Ogden v. A Scammer

Mon, 16 May 2022 07:35:21 -0000

After 3 failed attempts, we finally get Alistair Ogden (comedian) on the show to discuss one of our more involved Block Tales of all-time, as he takes an Instagram scammer WAY further into the weeds than they likely ever expected to go. And you know that we go all the way into the weeds too, as Producer Dan is away for this episode and the boys have to try and operate the boards themselves. It turns out to be a successful operation, as the episode sounds great and we feel great as we discuss food poisoning (our own this time), crying, Don Cherry's podcast, and we consider radical leg-lengthening surgery. John also talks about the commercial he was supposed to do for A&W, Alistair briefs us on his wholesome online uncle, and Stefan helps John go viral with a post type he's talked about on the show many times before.

If you want to more tips on how to go viral, you can check out our Patreon over at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. This week, Gavin Matts returns to the show to discuss John getting blocked by NHL analyst Kevin Weekes, and this Friday, it's another live Zoom show as Stefan and Dan fête John for his BP Bachelor Party.

Episode 180: Aaron Read v. A Bagel Place

Mon, 02 May 2022 07:37:41 -0000

Aaron Read (comedian) joins the show to tell us about a time he got blocked for politely asking a Vancouver bagel shop to change their notoriously bad work environment. Why change anything when you can just block people who complain? We find their Glassdoor reviews and go deep on that as well as DVD Easter Eggs, Mad Magazine parodies, and we eat some intense Dutch licorice. Plus, we get into "rise and grind" Instagrams, tarts, Aaron meets Peep This Out, and John wins 10 pounds of fresh lobster.

Mon, 25 Apr 2022 05:37:23 -0000

John’s out this week which means Stefan’s in charge. Which means the episode might not get uploaded. But assuming it does, Stefan is joined by guest host Jesse Farrar (YKS, Go Off Kings) and their friend Greg (@weedguy420boner) as they discuss a guy’s big poop, try to contact the spirit of Paul Walker on TikTok, and listen to Producer Dan fart into his fart mic. Greg also regales us with a Block Tale concerning Weird Twitter and the BTK Killer. Will Stefan remember all the segment names? Will Jesse ever come back on the show? And will Stefan remember to submit the episode description to John in time? All this and a guy’s big poop on this week’s ep!

Episode 178: Christine Bortolin v. Music Fans

Tue, 19 Apr 2022 06:10:10 -0000

Christine Bortolin (comedian) returns to the show for a third time and in a weird role reversal is she is in studio but Stefan isn't, as he hosts the show remotely from Ontario. His connection is poor but his takes are strong as Christine shows us what it's like to run a music venue's social media when a musician's fans get weird. But it's ok because we get weird as hell too, talking about cheese curds, Brazilian butt lifts, gravity bongs, white-out, and marking papers. Plus, Christine tells us all about her days writing anime fan fiction, Stefan guests on Howell Dawdy's Fast Track, we discuss our favourite niche meme accounts, and the Blocked Boys become the focus of a podcast that makes fun of other podcasts.

If you want to focus more on THIS podcast, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This week, it's a special John and Becca bonus episode, as they answer your questions about love, sex, and relationships. Mostly about their own relationship, really, but it's a good time.

Episode 177: Shane Koyczan v. A Facebook Commenter

Mon, 11 Apr 2022 07:23:30 -0000

It's a double dose of different on the pod this week as Stefan attends to a family situation so our friend Chris James fills in as a guest host, and we have our first-ever poet on the program, as one of Canada's finest poets, Shane Koyczan, joins us on the show. The episode starts with a poetic bang as Shane gives John easily the most intense "Start the Party!" directions he's ever received, and it only goes on from there as we wonder at just how Shane, who is a devoted listener, even got into Blocked Party in the first place. That aside, the Block Tale absolutely delivers as Shane encounters a fan on Facebook who writes one of the more bizarre screeds in the comments we've ever seen on this show and Chris and John give a dramatic reenactment of it. We also get into returning to live shows, writing poetry during the pandemic, and our usual nonsense like curling video games, a great license plate, terrible stadium food, and Shane introduces us to the "Democracy Manifest" incident.

If you also know your Judo well, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty to THROW us a few bucks (Judo joke) and support the program. In return for that support, you can get wonderful things like the THREE bonus episodes we do every single month, like the Mailbag coming your way this week. Plus we've got the famed $100 Club which gets you access to secret bonus eps, merch discounts, a super-exclusive Discord channel, and a Cameo from Stefan and John. It's a delight, so check it out.

Episode 176: Cody Johnston v. John Mayer

Mon, 04 Apr 2022 07:37:05 -0000

John and Stefan return from John's bachelor party weekend and lived to tell the tale, as we welcome Cody Johnston (Some More News) onto the show to tell HIS tale, about being blocked by John Mayer on Tumblr of all places. We get into Cody's recurring bit on Jay May, as he calls him, and how it led to the eventual block, as well as how it spawned a lot of camaraderie in his DMs from Mayer fans and haters alike. And of course we talk about the most low-key bachelor party in history, as John and Stefan recount the tales of playing FIFA, poker, and Biñho, and the weirdness of their Air BnB, which was essentially a repurposed wedding venue that was set up when they arrived to host a wedding. Plus! Machine Gun Kelly, weirdo bowling animations, stealing food, and the greatest sports announcer moment in recent memory.

If you want to enjoy more great moments, please head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty to support the show AND receive THREE bonus episodes every single month. Last week, we released a hangout episode with Tom Walker and Demi Lardner, and this month will see the release of our new bonus series where we cover the new Sex and the City show.

Mon, 28 Mar 2022 07:16:00 -0000

Sarah Pappalardo (Reductress) joins the show to tell us about where they do most of their trolling: Facebook. And on that Facebook? A former friend who took a wild turn during COVID and who ends up blocking and unblocking Sarah to continue name-calling. The rest of the episode is much less feisty though, as we talk about being a cat parent, the weirdo "you should own a house by now" tweets, insane hockey names, Jeff Foxworthy, microwaves, and Sarah reveals the insane podcast they'd like to start with their mom.

If you want more of THIS insane podcast, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month, including this week, a very special hangout episode as we get together with Tom Walker and Demi Lardner.

Episode 174: Paul Bae v. Producer Dan

Mon, 21 Mar 2022 06:47:15 -0000

Paul Bae (The Big Loop, Black Tapes) returns to the show to a surprise when Producer Dan informs him that he has actually BLOCKED Dan on Twitter! It's the first time we've ever had the Blocker and the Blockee meet face-to-face, and it turns out Dan found himself on a blocklist. Paul runs us through why he used a blocklist in the first place, and you'll have to tune in to see if Paul shows ultimate character and unblocks Dan live on the show. Elsewhere, we revisit our past episode hijinks with Paul, as John gives Paul an update on his ass, and Stefan rejigs his previous top 3, where he said he would most want tomato paste if he were trapped after an earthquake. We also talk about more disaster foods, John potentially having COVID, Friday's livestream, screenwriting Twitter, and LL Cool J.

If you want to be as cool as Mr. LL, you can become a donor to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 173: Derek and dril v. Dog the Bounty Hunter

Mon, 14 Mar 2022 07:50:49 -0000

The boys are back in town, and this time that's quite literal, as Derek and dril are in Vancouver to join the Blocked Boys live in BPHQ. And this episode is about what you'd expect from this foursome, as an innocent conversation about hotpot turns to Rule 34, where we learn it has a comments section (bad) and what the top 10 searches on the site are (worse). After a lengthy discussion, we move onto monkey movies, Eminem lyrics, saline injections, reply guys, and dril gets blocked by Dog the Bounty Hunter for saying he would like to breastfeed him.

If you want to get fed more of this sweet content, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you THREE bonus episodes every single month. This week, Lauren L. Walker returns to the show for a Canadian Education Programme episode, and this FRIDAY, John and Stefan are gonna be streaming for 6 hours straight in the first-ever Blocked Slumber Party for WAVAW.

Episode 172: Maddy Kelly v. An Emailer

Mon, 07 Mar 2022 07:58:31 -0000

Maddy Kelly (comedian/writer) returns to the show with another very special reply guy, one who stoops to finding her email address to be unnecessarily critical and then extremely weird very, very quickly. It's a fun episode of the show that starts out sweet as Stefan tries to convince Maddy to play Elden Ring and we talk about creating a vision board for BP and vegetable gardens. It also gets literally sweet as we discuss the Dutch Bros insane drink menu. But, somewhat predictably given what has happened the 171 episodes before this, things manage to turn nasty as Stefan's social media update gets us talking about sex talks with our parents and Maddy reveals she has some very special skills. Plus, we weigh in on the wheels vs. doors debate and it gets very heated.

If you want to get more heated, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This week, Drew from Globe Hell joins us for a beautiful mailbag episode, and later this month, we are going live again in support of WAVAW with the Blocked Slumber Party, as Stefan and John are gonna stream for 6 straight hours on Friday, March 18th.

Episode 171: Jamie Loftus v. The Olympics

Mon, 28 Feb 2022 08:00:55 -0000

Sweeps Month comes to a rousing conclusion as Jamie Loftus (comedian/writer) returns to become best friends with Tony Hawk (just as we are) by being blocked by none other than the Olympics themselves. Jamie actually tracks down the IOC headquarters in Switzerland to try and get her Twitter account back in a valiant Block Tale and Stefan gets thrown back to his mock draft-ruining days with the listener Block Tale. After the longest intro ever, Jamie tells us about why she had to miss Trivia Party last week: because she was attending Ghost Church. We learn all about channelling spirits as Stefan and John decide to get into the slime business, and Jamie learns about the two ghosts that follow her around constantly. Plus, we wonder about the existence of a beach plum, Jamie wants a Nicole Kidman AMC ad supercut, and Stefan and John have weirdly symbiotic tweets about Elden Ring.

If you want to feel more in symbiosis with the pod, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. Last week was a big one, as we released a Canadian Education episode on Matt Good with former fun. lead singer Nate Ruess, and the aforementioned Trivia Party makes its triumphant return with Branson Reese joining us. We've got lots of great stuff planned for March, plus merch discounts, an exclusive Discord, and more!

Episode 170: Michael Hale v. Bowling for Soup

Mon, 21 Feb 2022 08:15:27 -0000

It took 170 episodes, but Michael Hale (Your Kickstarter Sucks) finally joins us for a main episode and...let's be honest. If you're a fan of this show, or YKS, or hopefully both, you know exactly what you're getting here. It's John's worst nightmare as Stefan and DB run roughshod all over this thing, introducing John to a host of online freaks and scoundrels. But it's a blast, as we take a look at past guest Jon Hendren's surprisingly robust scoring system for these weird reply guys, Stefan remembers a classic online moment, and one of the freaks fulfills a special request. We do get into some "normal" (?) stuff too I guess, as Mike gets blocked by one of the guys from Bowling for Soup for saying he died in a Murphy bed (you know, normal stuff), Stefan finds an insane movie trailer, and we discover the joy of Quebeçois Boomhauer.

If you want to discover more joy, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month, including a special double dose of bonus goodness coming this week, as Nate Ruess joins us for a Canadian Education episode on alternative rock weirdo Matt Good, and Branson Reese takes part in Trivia Party with our venerable quizmaster, Meg Walls.

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 09:13:14 -0000

Chris Locke (comedian, Evil Men pod) is BACK and he's gotten some people upset with him online for having takes against the very stupid Freedom Convoy here in Canada or whatever dumb thing they're calling it now. Luckily we don't have much other dumb stuff on the show, outside of the usual dumb stuff like getting Chris to look at questionable things and him rebranding as a guy who will refuse to wipe until further notice. We also talk the Puppy Bowl, Ghostbusters, 2-man luge, the viral nu-metal tweet, and Jonathan Allen's insane dream dinner guests.

If you want to feel like you're our guest for dinner, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 168: Cait Raft v. 300 Facebook Friends

Mon, 07 Feb 2022 07:35:46 -0000

It's Sweeps Month, baby! This year, it's all fan favourites all month and we start by bringing back one of our faves who hasn't appeared on a full main episode in over two years, Cait Raft! Fresh off of their star turn as "Jonathan Van Mouse" on the new Jonathan Van Ness show, we talk about cartoon mice as Stefan and Cait ponder whether or not houses in the 40s actually built holes in the wall and doors for mice. The rest of the episode is not that stupid (but it gets close) as we discuss The Simpsons, VIP movie theatres, weird influencer posts, strawberry candies, Family Feud, and Cait brings the heat in another wild top 3.

If you want even more wild content that's sweeter than strawberry candy, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. This week, it's a BP Mailbag and then the rest of the month gets wild as we bring back Trivia Party, Nate Ruess rejoins the show, and our first-ever "Sexy Six" bonus episode gets launched for our $8 and above patrons, where we read and analyze your secrets.

Episode 167: Michael Balazo v. The Toronto Sun

Mon, 31 Jan 2022 08:13:37 -0000

Michael Balazo (Evil Men Podcast) joins the show for his first main episode, and he gets blocked by an entire newspaper! Apparently the tabloid-style papers in Toronto don't take too kindly to their front pages having jokes made about them. But there are plenty of jokes in this episode that we DO take kindly to, as we discuss our preferred first names, bananas, gnomes, the University of Texas pee chart, sexy sculptures, and Michael tells us about a town in Ontario with a very strange name while Stefan considers converting to Christianity.

If you want to convert to Blocked Party-anity, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. Last week, we did a double dose of bonus as we released a Canadian Education episode with Claire McNear where we discussed Canada's Smartest Person (the show, not the, uhh, person) and the VOD from our live Cameo episode with Josh Gondelman is available now as well! Plus, it's just about February, so you know what that means: SWEEPS MONTH! It'll be some fantastic times with us next month you won't want to miss, including the FIRST "Sexy Six" bonus episode for our $8 and $100 Club patrons. Check it all out at patreon.com/blockedparty.

Episode 166: Becca v. Her Ex's Ex

Mon, 24 Jan 2022 07:42:56 -0000

Becca makes her triumphant return to the show and tells us the story of how her ex's wild ex made Becca's life very weird for a little while, from weird social media comments to parking in her building's parking lot and staring into their window. The Blocked Boys don't stop getting weird there, as we go very deep into the rabbit hole of "American Pie Presents" movies as John finds a bunch of odd iMDB reviews and Becca gives her thoughts on the slew of 00s teen sex comedies she's been watching over the course of the pandemic. Plus, Stefan and Becca work on some impressions as we discuss The Witcher 3, fart underwear, Weber Grills' awkward email, gym class, and Stefan adopts a cat for 3 hours.

If you want to adopt some more hours of Blocked Party content, you can do so by heading over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This week, it's a double dose as the VOD of our live Cameo show with Josh Gondelman will go up as we look back on our years screwing around on Cameo, and Claire McNear returns to the show to get Canadian Educated on Canada's Smartest Person.

Episode 165: Jordan Foisy v. A Rude Customer

Mon, 17 Jan 2022 08:31:30 -0000

Jordan Foisy (comedian) takes the show to real life, as he remembers a time an ignorant customer at his serving job forces his weaselly manager to take action in the best way possible. But before we get there, the show skews very Canadian as an inspired "Start the Party, Dan!" leads into some discussion of Canadian music and our favourite Canadian weirdos, Frank D'Angelo and Ed the Sock. And it doesn't stop there, as we introduce Dart Guy to the Blocked Party universe, and then Stefan gets inspired to show us some pretty gross photos. Plus, we get into Brittlestar, Joe Rogan, Novak Djokovic, and our most inconsequential celebrity sightings.

If you want some more of these two inconsequential celebrities (by that I mean Stefan and John), head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This week, we've got a mailbag with Josiah Hughes coming out, and it's our first Zoom Live show of 2022, as Alex Goldman from Reply All joins us to dissect a bunch of weird Cameos.

Mon, 10 Jan 2022 08:34:10 -0000

Johnny Pemberton (comedian/actor) joins the show to talk about blocking someone for going a little bit too far in questioning the COVID safety protocols on the set of Superstore, and reveals his unique strategy (other than muting/blocking) for dealing with people who are mean to him online. Elsewhere on the show, Johnny growing up in Minnesota finds the boys talking cross-border commonalities as we get into French education, Tim Hortons, and Kevin O'Leary, while also chopping it up about Alvin & The Chipmunks. Plus! Johnny decides to be a seagull on Twitter, John plays a very memorable John Madden clip, and Stefan introduces the guys to a new edition of "Real or Fake" featuring that weird balloon guy.

If you want something that's definitely real, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month, including last week's episode where we imagine a 10-year BP reunion episode 15 years into the future, an episode that is easily the dumbest thing we've ever done.

Episode 163: Caitlin Durante v. Her High School

Mon, 03 Jan 2022 07:37:17 -0000

Caitlin Durante (Bechdel Cast) joins us to demonstrate just how you can get blocked by your high school, over a decade after graduating from it. Hint: it involves the school mascot. There's nothing cartoony or mascot-like about the rest of the episode though, as we dive very deep into Lego for Adults as Caitlin tells us the story of building the 9000-piece replica Titanic and tries to decide exactly what to do with it now that it's finished. Meanwhile, Stefan bought himself and his partner a model kit for Christmas, but it turns out to be a lot more than he bargained for. Plus, we get into our low-key New Years Eve celebrations, Richard Karn has an NFT, Chris James pulls his best prank ever, and Caitlin tells us about her favourite brand of joke tweet.

If you want to hear many, many more joke tweets (and about jokes, and tweets), head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. We just recorded the final episode of Paranoia, the RPG series we've done with Carlos Maza, Carla Mah, Racquel Belmonte, and Josh Buergel, and it is predictable chaos.

Episode 162: The 2022 Blocked Party Enemies List

Mon, 27 Dec 2021 08:05:00 -0000

In the third instalment of what has become an annual tradition and a fan favourite episode, John and Stefan run down who they're targeting in the year 2022 as their mortal enemies. This could be a concept--in the past, Stefan has targeted the Bristol Stool Chart, for example--a person, an object, or really anything that has caught the ire of either Blocked Boy. But first, we run through our 2021 Enemies List to be sure that we got 'em correct over the past 365 days, and we recap our Christmases as Stefan reveals a controversial candy opinion and John manages to wade through a holiday full of family non-COVID illnesses to make Christmas happen. And in typical Blocked Party fashion, we also manage to find a way to talk about Rule 34, and this time, it's about the Brave Little Toaster.

If you want to be extra brave, as a special ending to the episode, we introduce the brand-new Patreon tiers for 2022, including an enhanced "$100 Club" yearly subscription, where you can get a personalized, Cameo-style shoutout from Stefan and John, access to a super-secret $100 Club Discord channel, ad-free episodes, and more. Plus, we introduce the "Sexy Six", a new set of six bonus episodes a year that are only available at the $8 tier and above. And if none of that sounds good, there's also lots of other stuff and other tiers for all your BP Patreon needs, all launching January 1. It's gonna be a great year and we're thrilled to keep bringing you the best bonus content in the game over at patreon.com/blockedparty.

Libby Watson (writer) is back for a comfy mid-December episode that sees John power through the haze of potential COVID illness for a memorable episode, as Libby gets blocked by Silicon Valley weirdo and Defector Media's "interested investor" Jason Calacanis. Of course, given Stefan and Libby's love for their cats, there's a lot of Kiki and Digby talk, and John remembers his first long-time exposure to a cat, his ex's fat cat named Sushi. Plus, we get into bagels, nu-metal covers, coffee, the Salton Sea, Thom Hartmann's smackdown of an anti-vaxxer, and Stefan gives us a wild update on a subject of a past Block Tale, Jamie Sweaty.

If you want to be kept in the know on all of our wild updates, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This week, Stefan FINALLY discusses his block at the hands of Jon Taffer, as we're joined by fan fave Dan O'Sullivan for a Hell Block, and our playing of the RPG Paranoia ends this month as well, with a final episode you won't wanna miss. And that's not all! Ad-free episodes, a great Discord, and more surprises await, so check it out today.

Episode 160: Dino Archie v. The Cosmopolitan

Mon, 13 Dec 2021 07:51:51 -0000

Dino Archie (comedian) gets physically blocked from The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas for, and I quote, "doing too much". It's a self-admitted, well- deserved block, and the lifetime ban leaves Dino wondering just how heavily they'll enforce that if he ever decides to go back. The whole episode has a "kicked out of a hotel" vibe as Dino's disdain for John's show primer email leads into a discussion about international phone lines, card collections, the Vancouver Canucks riots, and the city of Montreal. Plus we check in on the Nancy Reagan Twitter discussion this week, Jim Breuer's viral standup clip, and Stefan's parents make a warped Christmas decoration.

If you want more warped content, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This week, we'll have a mailbag out with past guest Savannah Erasmus, and our conclusion to the Paranoia series comes later this month as well, which is gonna be fantastic.

Episode 159: Lucy Valentine v. Scott Adams

Mon, 06 Dec 2021 05:45:51 -0000

Chalk another one up for the bad guy, as Lucy Valentine (Boonta Vista) gets blocked by the creator of Dilbert for making fun of his precious cartoons. It's a famous "night-time" episode of the show, as John is away for the weekend and thus, the boys are forced to record late on a weeknight after Stefan streams. Thankfully, it's the afternoon for Lucy and she balances out our energy as we talk the Quebec referendum, TimBiebs, a weird solicitation email from a potential sponsor, and Stefan introduces John and Lucy to the Balldo. Plus, we get into what Mormon couples mean when they say "D-Day", old WarioWare ads, David Draiman, and John "kidnaps" Kiki for ransom.

Episode 158: Dave Weigel v. Amy Schumer

Mon, 29 Nov 2021 08:17:01 -0000

One of our most requested guests, Dave Weigel (Washington Post) is finally able to make an appearance on our show after getting the approval from the higher-ups, and it does not disappoint. Despite writing about politics and all the blocks that come with that, we dig into one of Dave's weirder blocks: Amy Schumer, who blocked him for saying Trainwreck wasn't all that good. The episode is very good though, as we obviously talk politics with Dave, like gerrymandering and the Tea Party and other important political things like the GTA remasters, Letterboxd, Bone Bone, and competitive video gaming. We also have a brief POD Kast crossover as Dave gets excited over John mentioning 311 and John introduces Dave and Stefan to the concept of a "brodel".

If you want to brodel down with us, you can donate to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month.

We also just posted the VOD of our live Family Feud episode with Jesse and Mike from YKS and former Jeopardy! champs Seth Wilson and Alex Schmidt, available at any donor level. PLUS!

Episode 157: Matt Wright v. A Cabaret

Mon, 22 Nov 2021 07:42:22 -0000

Matt Wright (comedian) joins us for a landmark recording, as it's the earliest recording we have ever done! With Stefan out of town next weekend, the Blocked Boys were forced to record at 9 am, with some predictably delirious results. Matt gets blocked by an "Open Mic Cabaret" after a joke about cheap wine, and that sits couched in some great discussion about Home Improvement, the Deftones, Succession, and puking courtside. Plus, Stefan is very concerned about the future of internet files after failing to understand a .webp, an NBA trading cards streamer opens a coach's card, Matt tells us about growing up a Pokémon card fan, and John recaps Friday night's eventful Family Feud live episode.

Speaking of that live episode, it will be available this week on patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month (plus a live show every other month! Wow!).

Justine Stafford (comedian) joins the show as our first-ever Irish guest and teaches us that no matter what side of the Atlantic you're on, there will still be weird feet guys in your DMs! She gets the episode started off with a weird request and the energy only goes on from there as we go into dairy farming, small-town Ireland, Irish candy, partying a little TOO hard, video game character crushes, and we dissect the crazy Brass Against piss video from the weekend. Plus, Justine makes a TikTok about Gordon Ramsay, Stefan talks the new Ghostbusters, and we review Conor McGregor's not-at-all-influenced-by-cocaine tweets about India.

Episode 155: John Semley v. Steven Crowder

Mon, 08 Nov 2021 08:04:57 -0000

John Semley (writer) joins us to throw another Steven Crowder block onto the scrap heap as we wax nostalgic for childhood candy, lunch items, and crushes. John also enjoys having a fellow John on the show and we get into getting mistaken for Jons and Jonathans and John Semley tells about his brief foray into being a Jack. Plus, Stefan digs into the Starbucks holiday drink menu, as John Semley goes antiquing and John Cullen learns a new fact about Stephen Baldwin.

Episode 154: Rax King v. SantaCon

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 06:35:09 -0000

Rax King (writer) introduces us to the world of SantaCon, something that sounds joyous but is in actuality, very grim and bad. Her fateful day trip into NYC during SantaCon leads to a block as the dark side of the internet sees fit to get involved. The rest of the episode is pretty light though, as we celebrate John's birthday! Recorded the day of his 36th birthday, Stefan and Dan each get John thoughtful gifts after Stefan shoves Kleenex in his mouth (you'll hear why) and John and Rax swap stories of board game competitiveness. Plus we talk about our Halloween plans, how much groceries cost, the early 2000s, group chats, and John and Stefan swap places in our Social Media Updates, as Stefan reports a wholesome story and John finds a former athlete with a deranged opinion about a teammate's injury.

If you're looking for more deranged opinions, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonuses every month. We just had a double bonus week last week as Charles Star joined us for a Curling Twitter block and Nick Nemeroff came along for the ride in a Blocked Mailbag episode.

Episode 153: Amy Goodmurphy v. A Rude Commenter

Mon, 25 Oct 2021 07:18:45 -0000

Amy Goodmurphy (comedian/actor) gets fooled by the Blocked Boys into thinking they're wholesome, as the episode starts with some very pleasant conversation about acting in commercials, chocolates, and Christmas. But it quickly devolves as Amy herself takes it off the deep end with a story about some illicit messages her friend received and we get into our most drunken moments, New Zealand's official wizard, and Panamanian television. Plus, Amy's Block Tale does not disappoint, as a person sees an ad with her in it on Instagram and immediately takes things to a bad place.

If you want to go to a good place, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This is a double bonus episode week so there's no better time to get on board as we invite listener fave Nick Nemeroff back to answer some mailbag questions and John dips into his first ever Curling Twitter block with our pal Charles Star.

Mon, 18 Oct 2021 06:54:40 -0000

Jesse Farrar (Your Kickstarter Sucks) returns to the show fresh off of doing a Go Off Kings stream with Stefan and that vibe permeates throughout the show as it starts chaotic and keeps that feel all the way through to the end. Jesse finds a block from the lady who did that very weird calf cramp tweet and John lets Jesse and Stefan try their hands at a voiceover audition he didn't get. Elsewhere, the Blocked Boys try to decide what constitutes a "non-scary Halloween movie" after Jesse gets perplexed by some of Freeform's programming decisions as we talk Madden, Steam nicknames, and Blocked Party finally gets the shine they deserve in a community newspaper.

If you want some more of that Blocked Party shine, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month, including the continuation of our Paranoia series AND the return of Blocked Party live shows next month.

Mon, 11 Oct 2021 04:55:37 -0000

Aiden Arata (writer, content creator) joins us to discuss a time that a combination birthday party went awry as one guest in particular got very possessive over the leftovers. The rest of the episode is all content that's never been reheated though, as the Blocked Boys get into Lindsay Lohan's beach club, sparkling water, movie novelizations, MLB's "Turn Ahead the Clock" jerseys, and it's episode 151, so we talk drinkin', baby!!! Plus, we dive into Soup Girl Fall, disguising edibles as Halloween candy to give them to kids, and Glassdoor reviews of the United States Army.

Mon, 04 Oct 2021 07:13:23 -0000

Tony Hawk (legend) joins the show to fulfill John's dream and to talk about the time that the International Olympic Committee booted him off the Park Course and then the time right after that when he got home from Tokyo and got blocked by NBC for doing his own commentary on their content. Before all that, we reminisce about how Tony's appearance on the show came to be, through a Cameo from a listener and we learn the insane number of Cameos Tony has done. Elsewhere, Stefan and John ask Tony for advice on being cool which leads to John committing how to learn to hardflip. Plus, we chat curling, burgers, karaoke, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, exit surveys, and Tony tells us about retiring tricks and making skate decks with his blood.

Mon, 27 Sep 2021 07:44:08 -0000

Our good friend The Zubes (Wrestling Brain, Sportsfeld) joins the show to talk about being blocked by a former Major League Baseball player, who he then works with in sports media and gets unblocked by, who he then finds out is dating a very terrible person and wishes he was still blocked. It's a whole range of emotions this week on BP and we are here for all of it as the Blocked Boys also dive into nicknames, fantasy hockey, Dhar Mann's bizarre Instagram page, Elizabeth Holmes' courtroom text message reveal, Jordan Clarkson, stinging insults, and Stefan dresses up as Spider-Man.

Mon, 20 Sep 2021 06:39:45 -0000

Juliana Rodrigues (comedian) joins the show to discuss how an older guy who works at a comedy venue has an extremely strange Instagram account that only shows his workplace injuries and bad pictures of his food, leading Juliana to block him. Of course, Stefan loves it. With John and Stefan just returned from their fantasy hockey boys' trip, they give all the goods on Stefan having a tough Thursday night and we learn an awful lot about everyone's puking habits. But don't worry, before long we settle in to some more "normal" conversation about eating 6 Junior Chickens in one sitting, webcams, cats, getting in an argument in the Instagram comments, and buying clothes at the airport.

If you want to save your airport clothes money and spend it on something much more fun, you can donate to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE juicy bonus episodes every single month.

Mon, 13 Sep 2021 05:13:46 -0000

Clare Belford (comedian) returns to the show and she's got a new view on life where she doesn't want to hear about your weight loss program, your diet, your latest fad, or just your weight in general. And she's got a block for that! We discuss how COVID has distorted everyone's view of their own bodies and it gets a bit real but it gets very nice too, which we love. And of course, we go over a bunch of not nice stuff as per usual, as we get into living in Eastern Canada, haircuts, curling fights, weird drink combinations, Pepito the Cat, and John and Stefan pull out the measuring tape to see who has the bigger head.

If you want to prove you have a big head and even bigger brains, you can donate to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 146: Nathan Hare v. Subway

Mon, 06 Sep 2021 06:47:57 -0000

Nathan Hare (comedian) joins the show to tell us of the time that an innocent joke about Subway went sideways and he got blocked by one of the world's largest fast food chains. Most things on this episode go sideways as a discussion about fancy juice leads to speculation on what would have to happen for us to wear a diaper, which of course leads to bedwetting incidents we had as kids...and adults. We also talk Hulk Hogan's celebrity wrestling reality show, elementary school principals, newspaper corrections, the Chris Jericho Cruise, and our least favourite songs.

Rory Dunn (comedian) joins us to bear gifts of cheesecake and to share the story of how an 8-second video got him instantly blocked by one of Twitter's worst ghouls. Speaking of ghouls, we go on an extended tour of the biblical summer camps we all attended as kids, from Rory's stories of canoeing the lakes of Saskatchewan to John and Stefan's experiences with banana boating.

Mon, 09 Aug 2021 06:59:05 -0000

Ryan Williams (comedian, writer) returns to the show to take on Canada's Rebel Media, our pathetic answer to the American alt-right community, and he goes straight to the top, catching a block from its founder, Ezra Levant. Elsewhere, John is home alone this week as Becca visits her family, and we talk about how he started it by watching a documentary about the making of Forrest Gump and taking a nap. Luckily Ryan picks up the slack for John's boring Sunday by telling one of the craziest stories we've ever heard on the show, and then follows that up (after doing his own segue) by telling the second craziest story we've ever heard on the show. The Blocked Boys try to keep up, as we get into "sex arses", construction sites, getting vaccinated, and John finds one of the more cursed poems we've ever read.

Mon, 02 Aug 2021 07:03:08 -0000

Alison Rosen (podcaster, writer) joins us to warn of the dangers about posting a photo on Instagram of a recent manicure, lest people think you're too much of a narcissist. In fairness, we do manage to talk a fair amount about ourselves on the podcast, as John is forced to talk about his curling history off the top and it devolves into a long conversation about seltzer and pop consumption. We also get into laser hair removal, arguing with anti-vaxxers on Twitter, one of the craziest CNN interviews of all-time, and John discovers the all-time best name of an Olympian from the world of field hockey.

Mon, 26 Jul 2021 06:32:47 -0000

Taylor Lorenz (New York Times) returns to the show to explain her confusion over how she got blocked and unblocked and blocked again by Logan Paul, and in the process of telling the tale, figures out how it might've happened. We figure out a lot of things on this episode, like the fact that Taylor is a bird person, John has a different definition than most of what a "drinking boot" is, and Stefan is going to buy a cat backpack for Kiki. Plus!! We talk about the new gamer chairs we got for BPHQ, late 90's fashion, Kevin Sorbo, vegan food, and Nyjah Huston's ass.

If you don't want to show your ass, you should donate to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 139: Danika Thibault v. A Man Named Ashley

Mon, 19 Jul 2021 07:22:34 -0000

If you're thinking you can't trust a man named Ashley, our guest this week, Danika Thibault (comedian), is here to prove you right, as she tells a tale about a chance encounter leading to a very weird online interaction and subsequent blocking by...a man named Ashley. Speaking of weird online interactions, Stefan doubles down on his Marge impression from the Go Off Kings this week, and shows at least a little improvement. Plus we get into Canadian chocolate bars, Donald Trump, Stefan's MLB: The Show character, A24 films, Sisqo's beautiful reasoning behind the Thong Song, and Danika gives John and Stefan a literal glow up as we learn about the Glow filter on TikTok.

If you want a glow up but in podcasting form, you can get it over at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. This week, we have a very special guest for our monthly mailbag episode: John's Dad!

Episode 138: Tom v. Jamie Sweaty

Mon, 12 Jul 2021 06:45:39 -0000

It's a long-awaited episode as our old friend Tom (ChapoFYM) joins us after the worst intro in show history to tell us a great Block Tale as he revisits the "horny Twitter" we got into with the Globe Hell guys and folks...this time, it might be worse. As we've mentioned before, we've known Tom since the Real Good Show days and so we spend some time reminiscing about the RGS Hot-Off and the Akron Pooper amidst talk of the infamous Calgary Stampede threesome and M. Night Shyamalan's weird new movie where people get old on a beach. We also learn an awful lot about latex mask-wearing guys, Jesse getting killed by a deer in a hunting video game, and we speculate on whether or not our parents would like I Think You Should Leave.

One thing our parents do like for sure is our wonderful bonus content over at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. We just finished recording a wonderful bonus episode with the guys from the Evil Men podcast, Chris Locke, Michael Balazo, and James Hartnett and that'll be out this week, and this month's Blocked Bag has a very special guest you won't wanna miss.

Mon, 05 Jul 2021 07:40:52 -0000

K.C. Novak (comedian) makes her return to the show to talk about another romantic rejection, this time through a business she falls in love with over the pandemic. The Blocked Boys offer moral support as she walks us through the DMs and puts herself out there in a very sweet way. The rest of the show is also pretty darn sweet as we talk backyard games, Van Morrison's anti-lockdown album, and Kiki's near escape from Stefan's apartment. Plus, we get into K.C.'s reimagining of Seinfeld in the pandemic, Badlands becoming the first July 4th chugging champ, the Sha'Carri Richardson situation, and we revisit some of Frankie Muniz's best work (his tweets, obviously. Not that TV show or whatever.)

If you want to revisit some of our best work, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes a month, plus our entire back catalogue, which contains over 75 full-length bonus episodes and lots of other fun stuff like video content and newsletters written by us.

Mon, 28 Jun 2021 07:23:10 -0000

Will Weldon (comedian, actor) joins the show for the third time but the first on a main episode, as we dig into his old "L.A. Meetings" bit on Twitter and find out how it led to getting blocked by a prominent screenwriter. Elsewhere on the show it's a preview of the Blocked Boys' weekend as we discuss the Vancouver "Heat Dome" and our plans to deal with it, and a tease of our Canadian Education episode this month leads to a discussion about poutine and other Canadian nonsense. Plus, we talk about children's books, John McAfee, Mikey Miles, and John's recently finished library inventory experience.

Episode 135: Sophie Ross v. Kendall Jenner

Mon, 21 Jun 2021 16:00:20 -0000

Sophie Ross (writer/podcaster) joins us to discuss a pretty big-time block from Kendall Jenner that involved getting quote-tweeted by Kim Kardashian and a whole lot of Twitter drama. It's a perfect fit for our show and so is Sophie, as we run down her post-COVID return to the New York City lifestyle, complete with a 3 am Taco Bell run. We also get into hockey and football which leads to a discussion of Sophie's crush on Bengals QB Joe Burrow, Stefan reads out a crazy wedding story, and John is unhappy with Stefan's Coke Freestyle machine choice.

One choice you won't be unhappy with is donating to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This past week, we put up another mailbag with Randee Neumeyer that Stefan's mom described as a "total cumfest", so that was pretty fun, and we have the continuation of our Canadian Education Programme coming very soon.

Episode 134: Nate Ruess v. Max Collins

Mon, 14 Jun 2021 06:12:50 -0000

Nate Ruess (musician, fun.) joins the show to talk about a very weird series of tweets from the guy from Eve 6, who called out Nate's band and forced Nate to block him just because Nate was sick of people talking to him about it. Nate doesn't get sick of talking to us though, as we run through our old high school days after John talks about playing some fun. songs with his teacher band at a Christmas concert. We wonder what it would take to get statues built of us at our respective alma maters as Nate talks about growing up with pet horses, getting dumped in high school, and how contracting mono helped him graduate. Elsewhere in the episode, we watch Joey try the BTS meal, Nate explains how he found his true calling on Twitter, and we FINALLY, after almost a year of trying, get some art from Tony Posnanski.

Something that's much easier to get is a bunch of bonus content over at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. This week, we reopen the Blocked Bag and answer YOUR listener questions with past guest and comedian Randee Neumeyer, and we have lots of other great bonus content coming up you won't want to miss, including newsletters and the continuation of our Canadian Education Programme for Foreign Podcasters, where we teach non-Canadian guests about Canadian pop culture.

Nate Ruess is the lead singer of fun. and The Format as well as a solo artist, but he has nothing to plug and does not want you to follow him (but he can be found on Twitter at @nateruessmusic).

Episode 133: Brandon Wardell v. Justin Bieber

Mon, 07 Jun 2021 05:48:20 -0000

It's our first episode in 8 months where we have everyone including the guest in studio, and boy do we have a fun time with our wonderful guest Brandon Wardell (actor/comedian). To borrow a phrase from past guest David J. Roth, we "remember some guys", but instead of sports, it's the internet edition, as we dig into some people we remember from the early days of Twitter and YouTube. From there, Brandon reveals that he's spent his two months in Canada well, as he's learned a lot about one of our favourites, Frank D'Angelo, and tells us about the time he got blocked by Canadian icon Justin Bieber over a concert livetweet. Plus, we take a look at the end of Tito Ortiz's mayoral career, we discover an official Playboy version of the Sims, and Stefan puts a bow on the Naomi Wolf situation.

If you want something else to put a bow on, you can give us the gift of your donation at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 132: Yasi Salek v. Audrey Kitching

Mon, 31 May 2021 06:03:50 -0000

Yasi Salek (podcaster, writer) joins the pod and lays down the law, as someone finally sides with John in the great "peen nut" incident and agrees the story is boring. There's a block in here too, as "scene queen" Audrey Kitching blocks Yasi and sends her down a YouTube rabbit hole as she remembers the block. Elsewhere, Yasi and John form a kinship over music podcast reply guys and we get into some Canadian stuff, talking Tim Hortons and "Green Dennis" along with the revelation that Yasi lost her virginity to a Juggalo.

If you want some more lessons from Blocked Party, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to a ton of bonus content including the VOD from our live show with Adam Christie on Cameo where he debuts a Cameo drinking game, and coming this week, it's the second half of our WATTBA bonus content as Eli Yudin and Patrick Monahan join Stefan and John for another episode of Trivia Party.

Mon, 24 May 2021 06:44:04 -0000

It's only our second-ever dual guest episode, as we welcome Josiah and Drew from the Globe Hell Warning podcast to tell us about a Twitter prank that goes awry but has a heartwarming ending, as we learn all about a new weird sect of Twitter. The show gets off the rails pretty quick as we decide what the "other main character" of our show would be, in the same way "New York" is a character in Sex and the City and...it gets a bit dirty. From there, we chat about Ed the Sock, Baby Yoda doll Instagram, TMZ's Celebrity Shuffle, the Linda Lindas, and Stefan gives us a Mikey Miles update with a shout-out to Seth Rogen.

Episode 130: Ashley Feinberg v. Salena Zito

Mon, 17 May 2021 06:19:09 -0000

Ashley Feinberg (writer, Trashberg) returns to the show to tell us about a back-and-forth with gas station interviewer Salena Zito, who went on a merry-go-round of soft-blocking Ashley before finally pulling the trigger after MONTHS of playing games. It's a wild one and we love it. We also take a trip down memory lane as we remember Harry Potter midnight releases and the Avatar message boards, which we discover are somehow still active and creating new memories. Elsewhere, we get into a bonus block tale from Ashley, John finds an extremely cursed Tinder profile, a Zoom court hearing goes awry, and we remember our tweets that got people the most mad.

One thing that will definitely not go awry is a donation to the show over at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every single month. This week, we've got a hangout episode with our pal Tom Hill and we're going live with Adam Christie to watch some bad Cameos in our live show.

Episode 129: Lauren Ash v. A Reply Guy

Mon, 10 May 2021 06:02:31 -0000

Lauren Ash (Superstore) joins us for a look inside a popular actor's mentions, as a guy who assumed he was going to be ignored got just about the opposite treatment from Lauren and her followers until HE needed to block HER to avoid being messed with further. Elsewhere, the episode starts off hot as John delves into a years-old debate with Stefan, as we talk bad Jeopardy contestants, Canadian pronunciations, colorblindness, and our favourite online couple breaking up. Plus, we get a MASSIVE scoop about Cameo from Lauren and we dig into the new weird phenomenon that's got her avoiding TikTok.

For something you won't want to avoid, check out patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 128: Ben Flores v. Jerry Saltz

Mon, 03 May 2021 06:03:31 -0000

It's our first-ever "anti-block" this week, as art critic Jerry Saltz takes what would be a likely block situation for 95% of Twitter's genteel population and turns it into a success story with our guest, Ben Flores (writer, podcaster). It's also the first time a guest provides us with an imgur to tell the whole story, and it's a good one. The Blocked Boys tell some other good stories on the episode too, as we talk sandwiches, risotto, Doogie Howser, Stefan's home theatre set-up, masculine self-help books, and John gives us an update on the BB's quest to buy art from Tony Posnanski.

If you want to purchase more art from us, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every month. This past week, we posted the latest Hell Block as Stefan talks about being blocked by Chuck Wendig, and we let loose the VOD from our live show with David J.

Episode 127: Dan O'Sullivan v. Piers Morgan

Mon, 26 Apr 2021 06:11:02 -0000

Dan O'Sullivan (writer, Welcome to Sullyville) appears on a main episode of the show for the first time, and him and John find themselves to be kindred spirits as John is uncharacteristically "on one" throughout the whole episode. Speaking of being on one, Dan gets blocked by one of the world's worst people after taking him to task for some horrible behaviour. The rest of the episode is the opposite of horrible, as we talk about Lisa Gail, drinking coffee, John's lack of movie knowledge, Elon Musk hosting SNL, the baby named Korn, and Stefan brings back "Real or Fake" after he finds the weird Disney guy's Goodreads account.

One thing we know is real is that we have fantastic bonus content over at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 126: Andrea Jin v. Ali Wong

Mon, 19 Apr 2021 06:38:59 -0000

Andrea Jin (comedian) returns to the show with a Block Tale that is quite rare: the one where you're so embarrassed by someone you admire potentially seeing a past DM you sent, that you block them so they don't. It's a first for the show and an endearing story that a lot of us can certainly relate to. Elsewhere in the episode, Stefan tells us all about his brand-new electric lighter, which leads into a discussion about whether or not he should shock himself with it (he should. --John) and why you'd buy an electric lighter in the first place. We also get into objects we wanted as kids to be more like adults, Game Boy, K-Pop, the hedge post, and Stefan relitigates a previous top 3.

If you want a bunch of our previous content, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to our ENTIRE bonus catalogue, which comprises almost 100 episodes. PLUS we're making new ones all the time. FOUR a month, to be exact.

Episode 125: Wes Barker v. 200 People

Mon, 12 Apr 2021 06:08:07 -0000

Wes Barker (magician) joins the show to tell us what happens when magicians prank each other, and how it can lead to actual, real-world consequences of the utmost annoyance. The episode itself is also magic, as Wes makes for a great first-time guest as we dive into his recent move to Montreal, having to learn French, and what happens when one of your best friends (who is also a magician) lives next door. The Blocked Boys also get into blue checkmarks, getting suspended on the PlayStation Network, the CN Tower, mythical beasts, and Wes tells us about the time he tried to teach John how to do magic.

If you want even more of the show's beautiful magic, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every month, including this week, where we debut a brand-new feature, an episode where we teach a non-Canadian podcaster about Canadian pop culture.

Episode 124: Tim Gray v. Peter Nygard

Mon, 05 Apr 2021 07:15:01 -0000

Tim Gray (comedian) joins the show for our first-ever cease-and-desist, as apparently telling jokes about someone on a local cable access show is grounds for getting lawyers involved. It's a particularly scummy man and so it feels like a great thing all around. And this episode is a great thing too, as we find time for John to display his impeccable Godsmack impression and Stefan to display his...less than impeccable impression. Amidst talk of butt rock, The Blocked Boys also crash into witchcraft, cover bands, YouTube algorithms, Reddit, sports Twitter, and emo.

If you're feeling particularly emotional, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty for some more sensitive content, as we give you four beautiful bonus episodes every month for the low price of $5. This week, we have another edition of the Blocked Party Mailbag coming at you, where Producer Dan makes a couple shocking reveals that you can't miss. Later this month, we will be debuting our brand-new bonus series, the "Canadian Education Programme for Foreign Podcasters", our attempt to educate our podcasting friends from across the globe about the Great White North. Episode 1 should be a blast as we bring on our pal Lydia Burrell and teach him about Fred Penner, a very famous and beloved children's musician. It's fun for everyone, so don't miss out!

Tim Gray is a member of the HUNKS sketch troupe, whose debut album, "Mouth Beef", is available now on CD Baby. Tim can be followed on Twitter and Instagram at @timgrayrulez.

Episode 123: Lauren L. Walker v. Ricky Gervais

Mon, 29 Mar 2021 06:07:36 -0000

Lauren L. Walker (writer/podcaster) joins the show to demonstrate that the best way to get blocked by Ricky Gervais is to write one of his jokes for him. He's another in a long line of very famous name-searchers and we're surprised it took 123 episodes for him to land here, but it's all worth it. Elsewhere on the episode, Lauren drops a controversial food take as we talk Tums, gourmet dog food, bad breakfasts, bad doctors, bad museums, Bone Bone, and Hawked Party 2021 somehow becomes more of a reality.

If you want your 2021 to have a bit more party in it, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every single month. This past week, we released an episode with our pal Jesse Farrar, and coming up this week, Stefan's good friend Greg joins us to talk about one of John's blocks.

Episode 122: Molly McAleer v. Robert Herjavec

Mon, 22 Mar 2021 06:53:26 -0000

Molly McAleer (podcaster) joins us to discuss a much juicier Block Tale than the one in the episode's title, one so juicy we've diverted attention from it because we don't want that particular website's followers after us. The Shark Tank block is very fun too, and the whole episode is just a nice time as we learn about Christian YouTube, Juggalo TikTok, and the Real Housewives. Elsewhere, we get into getting pitched by a beauty Instagram account, Lifetime Original Movies, Sylvanian Families, American Girl Dolls, and Stefan watches the Snyder Cut.

If you don't want to miss the cut, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every month, including one this week with Jesse Farrar from YKS, as we take a listener donation episode to brand-new heights and get Jesse to talk Pacific Rim 2, among other things. We also have our charity stream coming up this Saturday, March 27th, as Stefan and John will compete in all manner of online competitions to see who is the better man. Join us at 7 pm EST/4 pm PST on our Twitch channel so you don't miss a second of the action!

Episode 121: Beth McColl v. An LOTR Fan

Mon, 15 Mar 2021 07:07:27 -0000

Beth McColl (writer) joins the show and breaks new ground for us as our first-ever guest outside of a North American time zone. This prompts a discussion about Daylight Savings Time and doing taxes in different countries, amidst a Block Tale where Beth makes the mistake of being a female fan of Lord of the Rings online. The episode isn't all taxes and timezones though, as the Blocked Boys find time to get into dad mishaps, changing our Twitter habits, Naomi Wolf, and the BBs introduce Beth to Pete Weber, Jr. And to cap it all off, Beth hits us with one of the best top 3 topics in show history.

If you want more of the show's best history, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every single month, plus our entire back catalogue of bonus episodes immediately. It's a screamin' deal for our catalogue of nearly 100 bonus episodes, and just last week, John's fiancée Becca joined the show for a mailbag where we answer listener questions.

Episode 120: Jane Stanton v. A Tinder Match

Mon, 08 Mar 2021 07:09:55 -0000

Jane Stanton (comedian, High School Sucked) joins us for what is truly the craziest and weirdest Block Tale we've ever had, and both John and Stefan lose their minds over a shocking reveal. The rest of the episode isn't quite as shocking but still has us on the edge as we talk about Stefan's Lord of the Rings weekend, Jane's high school parties, and John's follies living with his parents into his mid-20s. Plus, The Blocked Boys find some time to get into the Chris D'Elia "apology", Lola Bunny, shitting our pants, and we get a lost Cameo from our most recent Word Up! episode a few days late.

Speaking of that Word Up! episode, it is now live at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to ALL of our bonus episodes, including our great Sweeps Month content. This week, we move into March bonuses, as Becca makes her triumphant return to the podcast with an appearance on a mailbag, and we have lots more great stuff planned for this month you won't wanna miss.

Mon, 01 Mar 2021 07:19:59 -0000

Lance St. Laurent (Jeopardy! champ) joins the show to demonstrate that the fraternity of Jeopardy! champions is not guaranteed, as he tells the story of being blocked by past J! champion and noted internet shitheel Arthur Chu. John and Lance also get a chance to formally squash their brief Twitter feud after John tweeted about Lance's run on Jeopardy!, and get into some of the finer details surrounding appearing on the show in general. Elsewhere, the Blocked Boys make their BIG ANNOUNCEMENT and also get into film, fictional dads, parking lots, WandaVision, horny letters, and Stefan and John relitigate the "is the Grim Reaper a monster?" debate.

Mon, 22 Feb 2021 07:46:18 -0000

It's the grand finale of BP Sweeps Month, and we couldn't have capped it off any better, as Lance Storm (former ECW, WCW, and WWF wrestler) joins the program to tell us why you'd have to block a fellow wrestler, and the consequences if you forget to unblock them. Elsewhere on the show, Lance gives us the skinny on how being a professional wrestler ends up ruining a lot of conventional entertainment, and we learn a lot about the process of reality television. Plus, we dive into the NHL's Lake Tahoe experience, the misadventures of the Newsmax network, crazy road stories, and we buy someone a wrestling lesson.

Mon, 15 Feb 2021 08:17:02 -0000

BP Sweeps Month continues as Karen Kilgariff (My Favorite Murder) joins the show to talk about getting a very strange follow that led to an immediate block, a follow so bad we won't even mention the person's name in this space. The rest of the episode is not bad at all, but in fact, very good, as the Blocked Boys talk with Karen about our online ordering habits through COVID, crazy dreams, the CIA Valentine's Day wish, Miley Cyrus, appetizers, and John finally gets called out by a Jeopardy! champ.

Episode 116: Brent Butt v. Awful Twitter Usernames

Mon, 08 Feb 2021 07:53:28 -0000

BP Sweeps Month continues as we welcome Canadian hero and comedy legend Brent Butt (Corner Gas) on the show for a look inside his block list. We ask the question, "what's in a name?", as it seems that you can almost immediately tell why Brent would've blocked these people based on their Twitter names alone. We look at a couple and it's...not good. Elsewhere on the episode, the Blocked Boys talk cruise ship comedians, Howie Mandel, pinball machines, Super Mario World, and Brent tries to convince Stefan to return to Canucks fandom after Stefan announced he was going to become a Seattle Kraken fan this week.

One place you can always be a fan is over at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where we only love and support our donors.

Episode 115: Julie Klausner v. Pauley Perrette

Mon, 01 Feb 2021 07:44:04 -0000

BP Sweeps Month is here!!! And we kick it off in a big way, as Julie Klausner (actor, author, Double Threat) joins the show to tell us about her one red carpet interview experience: at the Golden Collar Awards, where she runs into Pauley Perrette, the actor from NCIS who might also be an insane person. We dig into that story as well as Pauley's tweets, which are predictably quite wild. Elsewhere, Julie bestows the Blocked Boys with their first-ever nicknames, as Stefan tells us about his new foray into cryptocurrency and John tries to sell off his Funko Pops. We also get into life in Manhattan, the Jon Kay dog shampoo thing, failed investments, and Julie reveals her plan for moving to Canada had Trump won re-election.

If you want to feel closer to a couple Canadian guys, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every month and given it's BP Sweeps Month, we have some big things planned.

Episode 114: Nick Nemeroff v. A BP Listener

Mon, 25 Jan 2021 07:54:50 -0000

Nick Nemeroff (comedian) makes his return to the show and in a moment of panic that he wouldn't have a great Block Tale, blocks a BP listener to have something to talk about on the show. It's much sweeter than it sounds, and Nick displays his general niceness throughout the show as we talk about Larry King's passing, cooking and eating meals, and John watches "The Girl Next Door" for the first time since 2004 and discovers it's a very perplexing movie. The Blocked Boys also find time to get into Mikey Miles, Amanda Palmer's viral tweet, and with Funko Pops in the rearview mirror, Stefan finds the new, 2021 way he's going to piss John off.

TW: This episode's top 3 about the Denver Broncos contains some mentions of criminal activity, including sexual assault. Very few details of the cases are provided, but if you'd like to avoid that section, it occurs from 1:05:30 to 1:22:30.

If you want to hear John get pissed off more, there's lots of that content and more over at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every month.

Episode 113: Darcy Michael v. TikTok

Mon, 18 Jan 2021 08:04:52 -0000

If you're into John getting bullied, this is the episode for you, as returning guest Darcy Michael (comedian, High School Sucked) and Stefan team up to bust John's chops for not owning a cat, never making it in hockey, and an old classic: forcing him to watch a Joey's World Tour video. We also learn about getting bullied on TikTok, as Darcy gets his account shut down by the homophobic Chinese company for a very innocuous video. Elsewhere, the Blocked Boys go in on Darcy's first appearance on the show 103 episodes ago, pets, saunas, housework, and corporate comedy roasts.

If you want to avoid getting roasted by your friends, do the thing all the cool kids are doing and donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes including TWO this week, as we do a Freaky Friday mailbag where John and Stefan switch bodies to answer questions and we post the on-demand video of our Dragon's Den live show this past Friday.

Episode 112: Josh Gondelman v. Not Cap'n America

Mon, 11 Jan 2021 07:55:12 -0000

Josh Gondelman (writer, comedian) joins the podcast to tell us the story of a very confusing block that only gets more confusing as we learn that all 3 of the Blocked Boys are also blocked by the very same account. But that hardly matters on this very busy week in Twitter history, as Josh gives us all the details behind #Beangate, Stefan tries all of his new mustards, and we go in on all of the business surrounding the storming of the Capitol and the President's banning from Twitter. And the moment you've been waiting 112 episodes for happens, as we finally get into some Bar Rescue talk.

If you don't wanna wait that long for more episodes, head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes and ONE live episode every month.

Episode 111: Allie Pearse v. A Filmmaker Ex

Mon, 04 Jan 2021 07:30:45 -0000

It's a new year but it's the same us, as Allie Pearse (comedian, writer) joins us for a classic Block Tale, where after she breaks up with an ex, he blocks her on everything and then makes a short film where the main character strongly resembles her and it launches his career as a filmmaker and is seen by millions. A tale as old as time. The Blocked Boys have plenty of time for other tales too, as we get into the Instagram Explore tab, childhood snacks, getting duped by a fake post, and an attempt to discuss Bean Dad turns into a much lengthier conversation about can openers. Above all that, Allie turns in a Top 3 that makes Stefan noticeably uncomfortable for the first time in the show's history, a truly special moment.

If you'd like some more special moments, head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every month.

Episode 110: The 2021 Blocked Party Enemies List

Mon, 28 Dec 2020 07:26:25 -0000

In the second edition of this yearly tradition, John and Stefan eschew a guest in favour of a list of enemies to set the table for the turn of the calendar. 2020 was a year full of ups and (mostly) downs, and we try to predict who will continue into 2021 with our cups full of hatred for them. Before that, the Blocked Boys talk about their Christmases, Inglehoffer Mustard, charcuterie boards, and they give you a peek behind the curtain at how they prepare guests for the show. Plus, we review our 2020 Enemies List to see how the year played out for us vs. them, a sort of "year in retrospective", Blocked Party-style. And of course, we get into the 10 Official Enemies of the Blocked Party podcast for 2021. There's some choices that will make sense but also some that will surprise as we prepare for another year of the show.

If you like surprises, we have even more in store for you over at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5 a month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every single month. This month was a doozy with a holiday mailbag featuring Santa, the return of Olivia Stadler for an all-Cameo bonus episode, and more! Plus, starting in January, we're going to be introducing yearly subscriptions, a fun way to save some money and support the BBs all year round. Stay tuned for more info on that very soon!

And finally, a sincere thank you to everyone who stuck with the podcast through a very weird and trying 2020. We know it's been a tough one but the show continued to grow and we felt your love and support all year. We love you all very much and in a lot of ways, it felt like we got through all of this together and it means just so much to us. Thanks for being with us and get excited for more great content in 2021!

Mon, 21 Dec 2020 08:18:26 -0000

It's an educational episode this week, as Kofie Yeboah (Fumble Dimension, Chillin' with Kofie) lets us know exactly how NOT to apply for college, as he manages to get rejected by eight colleges at once through the American university service Common App. It's an episode that's rife with rejection, as Stefan rejects Cyberpunk 2077, John rejects his Peloton instructor, and we discuss the Australian comedian who rejected a DM slide from a guy who was really into Australia's Funniest Home Videos. The Blocked Boys also manage to find time to discuss UPN's primetime lineup, prison breaks, smoke alarms, and Christmas songs.

Mon, 14 Dec 2020 08:19:31 -0000

James Austin Johnson (comedian) joins the show by telling us before we start recording that "he doesn't have a very exciting Block Tale" and then it turns out to be one of the most personal and messy Block Tales in show history, as him and a former comedy writing partner turn on each other and lawyers get involved. It's high drama on an episode full of it, as the Blocked Boys get into windshield decals, regional dialect, quarantine weight, getting divorced, Bobby Flay, "cannibal sandwiches", and John introduces a new character to the Blocked Party Twitterverse. And to top it all off, we're joined by a very special call-in guest, who has a lot of...thoughts on things. It's our longest episode ever, and worth every minute.

If you want to listen to even more minutes that are worth it, you can head over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you FOUR bonus episodes every month, including this week's bonus, another edition of our all-Cameo bonus episodes, Word Up, featuring past guest Olivia Stadler.

Mon, 07 Dec 2020 07:24:37 -0000

Claire McNear (author, The Ringer) joins us for a lesson in rookie journalism, as she gets blocked by MC Hammer for some, shall we say, unprofessional practices. Block: Hammer Time! Given Claire's new book is about Jeopardy!, the Blocked Boys take the opportunity to talk all things Jeopardy! with her, including John's Jeopardy! tweets, the show's audition process, the terrible anecdotes, and Celebrity Jeopardy!. And of course, the BBs still find time to talk their usual BS, as they get into the monoliths, #StoptheSteal, Pokémon, the apocalypse, and John tells the story about his tough day in a ninth-grade classroom this week.

If you want to forget about your tough days, you can head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you all the BP business you can handle!

Episode 106: Demi Adejuyigbe v. The CW

Mon, 30 Nov 2020 08:05:59 -0000

Demi Adejuyigbe (comedian, writer) gives us a double dose of blocks: one that makes a great deal of sense, and his feature block, The CW, which really doesn't. We help him try to get to the bottom of this baffling block as he gets blocked by an entire network that he has never interacted with once on Twitter. The rest of the episode is a bit less baffling, as the Blocked Boys go through some wild sects of the internet this week, as John attempts to buy crazytown.com and learns a whole lot about domains, a wholesome conversation about My Octopus Teacher turns into a lot of information about a lady who fell in love with a dolphin, Demi tells us about his gas station election celebration, and we figure out the true story behind how Harry Houdini died. Plus, John and Becca get a wonderful treat to celebrate their engagement from the Discord.

If you want to be a part of that marvellous Discord, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you Discord access PLUS three bonus episodes AND one live episode every single month.

Episode 105: Gina Harms v. A Comedian

Mon, 23 Nov 2020 08:14:16 -0000

Gina Harms (comedian, Dear Pop Culture) joins the show for some more local comedy scene drama, as we get the scoop on open mic "hierarchy" and the entitlement of room-runners in a baffling and childish Block Tale. It's also a big episode this week for the Blocked Boys, as Stefan finally creates an Instagram account for his cat and John finally gives everyone what they want and proposes to Becca. Amidst stories of engagement, both in the very real, betrothed sense, and in the fake, online sense, we talk about proposing at ballparks, chaos meals, Princess Diana nostalgia, Stefan's mustache, and the Blocked Boys receive one of the weirdest pitches of all-time.

If you want to receive more weirdness, you can head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes and ONE live episode every single month.

Mon, 16 Nov 2020 06:45:27 -0000

Arian Foster (former NFL All-Pro running back, current Twitch/YouTube streamer and hip-hop artist) joins the show to let us know what can happen when you criticize an NFL legend on Twitter, even if you're an NFL All-Pro yourself. The episode discussion gets serious for a minute when we get into Arian's post-NFL career, as we chat about sitting down and talking to people you fundamentally disagree with, how giving pep talks changes with age, and the weirdness of being a philosophy major in the NFL. But as usual, the Blocked Boys also find time to mess around as we talk Valorant, e-Sports, Tito Ortiz, the Voter Fraud Hotline, fantasy football, Toy Story, and Arian's new life as a Dungeons & Dragons player.

If you need some more pep talks from the Blocked Boys, you can go to https://patreon.com/blockedparty and donate to the show. $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes and ONE live show every single month.

Episode 103: Brendan James v. Steven Crowder

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 07:17:53 -0000

Brendan James (Blowback podcast) joins the show for another pile-on for conservative "comedian" and all-around numbskull Steven Crowder. This Block Tale goes deep into the early origins of Crowder's success and Brendan teaches us that sometimes, dunking on a conservative can have some unfortunate consequences. The rest of the episode is not unfortunate at all, as the Blocked Boys go in on quarantine hairstyles, video games, the Voter Fraud hotline, the whole Four Seasons thing, our favorite memories of Alex Trebek, and Becca buys John a birthday Cameo.

If you want to give yourself (and us) a present, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to three bonus episodes, one live episode, and our Discord.

Episode 102: Carla Mah v. Men on the Internet

Mon, 02 Nov 2020 07:15:35 -0000

Carla Mah (improviser) joins us to talk about the unique and strange experience of being an Asian woman online, and how it leads to many blocks, almost all for the same reason. It's a spooky episode as we recorded mere hours from Halloween and we get into the once-in-73 years full moon on Halloween, and the rare "blue moon" phenomenon as well. The BBs are clearly affected by this blue moon, as John and Stefan get particularly feisty a few times this episode as we argue about fistfight strategies, movies, and Halloween candy. We also find time to go in on cheese fountains, Tyra Banks, Kim Kardashian, and Stefan gets John a birthday present.

If you want to give yourself a present, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. We just posted the third episode of Blocked Party D&D, where Jamie Loftus and Branson Reese join us on a wild adventure, and it gets hairy this month as we finally get into some combat. We also did a fun look back at our first 100 episodes of the show, and drank the dreaded Canada Juice. Plus, you'll get our whole back catalogue, access to our Discord, AND access to our live shows. So don't hesitate to get in on this sweet action!

Episode 101: Mack Gordon v. Blues Traveler

Mon, 26 Oct 2020 07:13:50 -0000

It took 101 episodes, but Mack Gordon (actor) helps us get to one of the most notorious name-searchers on all of the Twitter [dot] com (who will absolutely block us once he finds this episode title), John Popper of Blues Traveler. He's such an easy block to catch that we have multiple Listener Blocks this week too! It's a 3-for-1! And it's all downhill from here as we contemplate life after episode 100 and it leads to a lot of memories of childhood food, as Mack reveals the weird foods he ate as a kid amidst tales of local haunts we loved and the "pey wet" viral video. Finally, the Blocked Boys also find some time to get into the death of Quibi, Stefan gets a new phone and some new soccer jerseys, and John leans into a week of Miley Cyrus takes.

Episode 100: A Celebration!

Mon, 19 Oct 2020 06:39:23 -0000

We made it! We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate a century of Blocked Party episodes than by bringing a bunch of our favourite people on to PARTY (get it?) with us, and boy did we get spoiled! First things first, the Blocked Boys get absolutely jacked on the sugar-intense Canada Juice and we feel the rush with Cait Raft (comedian, Hot and Rich) as we talk about Stefan's new VR game idea and shitting his pants. Then, we're joined by Chris Locke (comedian, Happy Good) for an absolutely wild update on his life, as we learn that he was involved in a pretty crazy incident as a child that's affected him in a very surprising and positive way.

From there, it's Adam Christie (comedian) time, as we dig into our social media updates and learn how two girls' opinions on fruit snacks have converted Adam to Christianity, and John finally gets a dunk in on Stefan. And you know that we couldn't do a Block Tale without one of Twitter's finest pests, with Chris James joining us to give us the full story on how he's been blocked by Seb Gorka two different times and to give us a positive update, an "Anti-Block Tale", if you will, with Ken Marino.

And it's Episode 100, so we couldn't just leave you with a single top 3, no, we brought in two guests for two very different Top 3s. First, we're joined by Racquel Belmonte (improviser, Dragon Prince) for another of our horniest top 3s ever, and then Becca joins us to close things out with a very on-brand top 3 for the Blocked Boys, a way of reminiscing that only we could be capable of. And make sure to stay all the way to the end of the episode for a special surprise.

If you want even more special surprises, why not donate to the show in honour of 100 episodes over at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. We've been a bit late on bonus content this month, so we are releasing FOUR episodes in the next two weeks, including the making and drinking of the aforementioned Canada Juice, CanCon Live! with Jesse and Mike from YKS, our third instalment of BPD&D with Branson Reese and Jamie Loftus, AND John and Stefan are going to relive some of the show's best moments in an episode we're calling "100 Episodes, 100 Memories". We probably won't remember 100 things, because we're dumb. But anyway, support the show! We love you.

Episode 99: Maddy Kelly v. A Special Reply Guy

Mon, 12 Oct 2020 06:33:27 -0000

Maddy Kelly (comedian) joins the show to tell us about a very unique "reply guy" situation, where she replies back and he isn't quite sure how to handle it. Maddy offers a lot of other great advice on this episode, like how to properly manage your Instagram, how to slide into her DMs, how to go viral on TikTok, and how to order at McDonald's if you're a hot girl. Elsewhere, the Blocked Boys reveal their usual amount of knowledge (very little) as we discuss hot mascots, monocles, manicured lawns, Putt-Putt games, mayors in Korn masks, and the Poplitics girl getting diagnosed with COVID.

And hey! It's the Centennial Celebration Month here at BP, and we are celebrating our 100th episode in style, as we've got FOUR bonus episodes coming your way at https://patreon.com/blockedparty. This month, we are gonna drink that vile Canada Juice, Stefan and John are gonna reminisce about 100 episodes of the show, we're gonna have our third instalment of BPD&D, and the YKS Boys are gonna join us for a BPTV episode where we get them to take a look at a bunch of CanCon. You won't wanna miss it, and you can access it all for $5/month over on our Patreon!

And if you want some more comedy content, John's new album, "Long Stories for No Reason", is out THIS FRIDAY! October 16th. Mark your calendars, it's gonna be a good time and it'll be available everywhere you get your music and comedy.

Episode 98: Cole Hersch v. Tobey Maguire

Mon, 05 Oct 2020 07:36:59 -0000

Cole Hersch (writer, Podcast But Outside) joins the show with one of the earliest-in-life Block Tales we've had, as he got blocked by Spider-Man himself, Tobey Maguire, on AOL Instant Messenger when he was 11. It's a saga with many twists and turns and leaves us with a mystery that will need some experts to solve. The rest of the show leaves no mystery though, as the Blocked Boys are eager to shake off their good behaviour from last week and it gets wild early and often. The BBs start with some more Shark Tank/Dragons Den talk as Stefan pitches a new hangover cure and Cole pitches a new version of the show entirely, and that leads to a discussion of new condoms for different body parts. Cole then tells us the story of how he went viral pitching a new mascot to Saddleback College, John gets introduced to a cursed TikTok, and Stefan's social media update gets so intense it leads to a very special surprise at the end of the episode you won't wanna miss.

If you want more fun surprises, you can head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. Of course, this is the Blocked Party Centennial Celebration Month and we are going all out. John and Stefan are going to finally make and drink the cursed Canada Juice, we are going to have Jesse and Mike on for a LIVE BPTV episode with exclusively Can(adian)Con(tent), and our D&D series with Branson Reese and Jamie Loftus continues! We have some other fun surprises planned for the month you won't wanna miss so check it out!

And hey, John's new full-length comedy album, "Long Stories for No Reason" is out next Friday, October 16th on Comedy Records. Look for it on Spotify, Apple Music, or anywhere else you get your music.

Episode 97: Jemele Hill v. Travis Tritt

Mon, 28 Sep 2020 07:01:06 -0000

Who knew the Kentucky Derby VIP section could be a source of consternation? We learn just how, as Jemele Hill (The Atlantic, Jemele Hill is Unbothered) tells us the story of her positive meeting with country star Travis Tritt over mint juleps and how it didn't seem to matter to him later on, as he blocked Jemele for having opposing political views (we think). Speaking of politics, this episode doesn't shy away, as we get into what the mentions of someone with 1.3 million followers looks like, how Trump's divisiveness has affected social media, and how the goalposts for how a President should act are constantly shifting. But hey, we're the Blocked Boys and we also find time for silly stuff like Doritos, 2009 Twitter, old class photos, and we dig into Vancouver's Da Vinky Twins.

If you want to dig into some more Vancouver content, you can do so by donating to Vancouver's own at http://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. This month was a doozy as we released the second edition of BP D&D with Jamie Loftus and Branson Reese, we did another all-Cameo bonus episode with Taylor Lorenz, and a great mailbag with Lydia Burrell. Plus, we've got our Centennial Celebration coming up next month with tons of sweet bonus goodies coming your way, so don't delay! You'll also get access to our entire back catalogue and our super sweet Discord server, one of the best deals in podcasting, baby!

Episode 96: Sarah Ramos & Caroline Goldfarb v. Jonathan "Foodgod" Cheban

Mon, 21 Sep 2020 07:22:54 -0000

It's only the second time ever that the BP Studios have been graced with two guests on one main episode, but it's a special occasion as we have Sarah Ramos (actor, filmmaker) and Caroline Goldfarb (comedian, writer) join us to tell us all about their new show, The Renner Files, and their block by the man who is famous for being friends with Kim Kardashian. It's a shameless Block Tale that will go down in the annals of show history as one of the best, and this episode is one of the best too, an "all-timer" in Stefan's words, as the Blocked Boys talk Peep This Out facemasks, getting old, and we learn more about how Stefan ended Jeremy Renner's vanity app. Plus, we get into the very upsetting RBG tributes, fizzy drinks, wet eggs in a bag, and Becca gets her very own theme song.

Speaking of theme songs, our bonus episodes have some pretty amazing ones, and you can hear them (and the episodes) at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. Last week, we released our latest edition of Word Up! with Taylor Lorenz, where we delve into the world of TikTok Cameos, and this week, we have the continuation of our BPD&D series, as Branson Reese and Jamie Loftus join us for a wonderful adventure in a mythical city.

Episode 95: Jack Allison v. Hoarse Wisperer

Mon, 14 Sep 2020 07:24:37 -0000

It's here. The most requested Block Tale in the history of the show is finally here, as Jack Allison (JackAM, Struggle Session) joins the Blocked Boys to talk about the Hoarse Wisperer saga. We get all the gritty details from their initial dealings with each other to Jack finding out the anonymous centrist horse's real identity to the epic conclusion, where Jack raises $125k for Bernie Sanders under the guise of Mr. HW and then trademarks the Hoarse Wisperer title, forcing him to swap his Twitter handle. It's an online story for the ages and one built for this program, 95 episodes young. And we don't stop there, as we find time to talk about Denis Leary's Pumpkin Spice tweet, the Chris Evans mishap, John getting DMCA'ed, Jack impersonating a high school quarterback, and Stefan pays John $140 to watch a Badlands Chugs video.

If you also like paying for the content you're dying to hear, you can head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Mon, 07 Sep 2020 21:57:23 -0000

Brian Gaar (comedian) joins the show to talk about getting blocked by America's favorite game show host over his "pain-free catheter" line of products, and this episode delves into other pain as we chat about Producer Dan's illness. But it's not all pain and sadness as we go back in on one of our favorite targets, Frank D'Angelo, and we learn about Nick Cannon's line of headphones. Plus, the C-List celebrity dunks don't stop there, as we find time for Chet Hanks and Jim Davis amidst talk of awful Chadwick Boseman tributes and the Donald Trump boat parade.

If you want to be in a much better parade, you can join all of the greats over at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE wonderful bonus episodes every month.

Episode 93: Becca v. A Married Guy

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 07:05:03 -0000

The time has come. A guest that has been requested for many moons (both hexed and not), John's partner Becca (writer) joins the show to get into it with the Blocked Boys about the time a married guy got aggressive with her in the DM. The BBs don't waste time getting aggressive elsewhere on the show, as the familiarity they have with Becca leads to some intimate conversations about body hair, pets, our parents, and the first time we touched ourselves. We also learn a lot about open mic comedians, John singing Alanis Morissette, and Producer Dan's infamous encounter with Vancouver's auspicious Uber Eats-only restaurant, Brick 'N' Cheese.

If you want to have an infamous encounter with us, you're very likely to do so over on our Patreon at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE exclusive bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 92: Racquel Belmonte v. Ronnie Ortiz-Magro

Mon, 24 Aug 2020 06:54:53 -0000

What do you get when you cross two guys who are recording their third podcast episode of the day and entering some sort of fugue state with a guest who doesn't understand espresso has more caffeine than coffee and drinks an entire mug of it? You get this chaotically horny episode of the show, as Racquel Belmonte (comedian, voice actor) uses her wellspring of energy to drag the Blocked Boys into her scandalous tale of being blocked by one of the cast members of Jersey Shore. It's a fitting block for the other trashy discussion on the episode, as John accidentally finds the dildo he got sent to him during the #FunkoPopChallenge in the studio. Plus, we find time to talk Bronies, POV fantasies, plastic surgery, and an Australian MP liking a pornbot account. Like we said. It got horny. But fun!

If you want to get more horny for BP content, you can head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. We just released the BPTV video episode with Derek and dril and coming up this week, it's the debut episode of BP D&D, where John and Stefan are joined by Branson Reese (Rude Tales of Magic) and Jamie Loftus (My Year in Mensa, Bechdel Cast) to play Dungeons and Dragons. It's gonna be a four-month series and the adventure is just getting started with an absolutely wild first episode you won't wanna miss.

Episode 91: Tony Boswell v. Culture Abuse

Mon, 17 Aug 2020 07:08:16 -0000

Tony Boswell (Minion Death Cult) proves the theory that if you name your band something as dumb as "Culture Abuse", then you probably are very bad at tweeting, being online, and just generally being cool about getting mentioned in a story about a bee sting. It's a hot one in SoCal for Tony and at BPHQ for the Blocked Boys, and the heat inspires talk of box fans and Dragons Den, as the BBs hit another deep dive on everyone's favourite Canadian reality TV show. Plus, we touch on the realities of Black Lives Matter organizing in a small town, bad NHL jerseys, Joyce Carol Oates' horrific blisters and even worse keyboard, and John makes his pitch to get Tony Hawk onto the show in 2021.

If you have a normal person's keyboard and want to put it to good use, you can do so by heading over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to three EXCLUSIVE bonus episodes every month, including the recently announced, multi-month series BP D&D, where we've invited past favourites Branson Reese and Jamie Loftus on for some insane adventures through the world of Dungeons and Dragons.

Mon, 10 Aug 2020 07:14:08 -0000

Libby Watson (writer, The New Republic) joins the show as we begin the countdown to the big 100 with one of our favorite types of blocks, one from a man who loves to wear bad hats! We strike a victory for the Bad Hat Haters, as Libby makes fun of his demotion for being a creep and manages to get blocked by his writing partner as well. We double your fun on this episode, and the Blocked Boys also find time to double down on Garfield Eats with a phenomenal listener block. Elsewhere on the show, we get into video game speedruns, villages of the UK, maskless dating, the worst pizza we've ever seen, and we learn that real men do, in fact, control their bowels.

If you are in control of your life, you can really show it off by donating to us at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where we have lots of exciting things happening this month.

Episode 89: Jacob Samuel v. Garfield Eats

Mon, 03 Aug 2020 06:40:19 -0000

Jacob Samuel (comedian) joins the show for only our second fully in-studio episode since March, and we waste no time getting down to business, as Jacob has a run-in with the Chief Entergagement Officer of Toronto's weird, Garfield-themed Uber Eats restaurant over a role in a movie the CEO was funding. Everything in that sentence is somehow true, and we break it all down for you in the Block Tale. The Blocked Boys also find some time to meander, as we discuss the curling emoji, pets, Vancouver politics, ice cream, and Stefan tries to reclaim his throne as the man with the worst takes in podcasting. It doesn't go well.

What does go very well with this episode, however, is some more Blocked Party! Head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5 a month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month, including our latest, an all-Cameo bonus episode with Brandon Wardell and Jack Wagner.

Episode 88: Katherine Krueger v. Jomny Sun

Mon, 27 Jul 2020 07:46:19 -0000

It's another block that's taken a surprisingly long time to get to, given everyone's favorite positivity alien has one of the quickest block fingers online, but Katherine Krueger (writer/editor) joins us to talk about her very early days of Twitter, highlighted by a block from Jomny/Jonny/Jobny Sun/Sum/Sudn. After meditating on it, Katherine comes away feeling fine, and we finally get to read the slew of listener blocks we have from Jonny as well. The Blocked Boys also dive into the world of Cameo on main (it's the horny on main equivalent for us), the animal tweet going around this week, childhood trauma songs, Stefan's back on Twitter, baby! and we get a glimpse into what gets Tori Amos going.

If you really wanna get going, you can donate to our Patreon at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you so much good stuff. Three bonus episodes every month.

Mon, 20 Jul 2020 07:28:39 -0000

It's a bit shocking that it's taken us 87 episodes to get here, but folks, we finally have the big man himself, the damn Cheeto-in-Chief, in our sights, as our guest, David Roth (writer, Deadspin) joins us to talk about the time he got blocked by Donald Trump. It's a fantastic Block Tale driven by Trump's own idiocy and a worthy first-time appearance on the pod for the POTUS. But don't worry, we're well-aware we are also full of our own idiocy, as the Blocked Boys find time to get into Witch Twitter, Tom Cruise, cognitive testing, the viral mummy, the 2003 film Biker Boyz, and Stefan is still locked out of his Twitter after Friday's blue checkmark fiasco.

If you no longer want to be locked out, you can subscribe to our Patreon at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Episode 86: Ginny Hogan v. A Twitter Psycho

Mon, 13 Jul 2020 06:32:34 -0000

Ginny Hogan (comedian, author) joins us for an episode that gets weirdly topical for BP, as John gets a COVID test and we dig into the very odd Wayfair conspiracy. And that's not the only conspiracy theory we dig into, folks. ToppingsGate once again rears its ugly head, as Ginny is forced to wade into the "are sauce and cheese pizza toppings?" debate and she presents a new angle that forces Stefan to dig that hole even deeper. Plus, the Blocked Boys find time to tackle John's Peep This Out video, Ginny's viral tweet, John's Jeopardy! tweet, and adult psychos who most definitely have COVID and attended Disney World anyway. And this is without mentioning Ginny's Block Tale, where a 70 year-old man lets loose on Twitter, follows her to email, and is just, well...a 70 year-old man online. It's a wild episode.

Speaking of wild episodes, if you want even more of this delicious content, you can subscribe to our bonus feed over at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE tasty bonus episodes every single month. Of course, this week, we finally debuted John's long-awaited Peep This Out impression in a video episode called, "Take a Look at THIS!" to rave reviews (most people were disturbed by it), and we have a mailbag episode out this week with our pal Michael Hale from YKS. PLUS, we've got a Cameo bonus episode coming this month with some very special guests and it's gonna be a busy July for the BBs. $5 and it's all yours!

Mon, 06 Jul 2020 07:34:41 -0000

Ike Barinholtz (The Mindy Project, The Hunt) joins us for a rare double block against two monstrous human beings: the guy who owns Jimmy John's (makes bad sandwiches, bad guy) and Sebastian Gorka (eats a lot of sandwiches, bad guy), as neither one of these ghouls likes to be called out for being a ghoul, and Ike pays with a pair of blocks. The Blocked Boys learn quite quickly that Ike shares Stefan's affinity for Peep This Out, and the BBs tackle YouTube food reviewers, bad Cameos, the U.S. Army eSports team, weird pregnancy photoshoots, and Ike goes off on Kanye West.

If you want to feel like a VIP at Jackson Hole but don't wanna hang with Kanye, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to all of our exclusive bonus content, including, finally, THIS WEEK, John plays Ian K. as he eats his first-ever Big Mac and reviews it, Peep This Out-style.

Brandon Ash-Mohammed (comedian) joins the show for the first time right after hosting a virtual Pride Parade and the Blocked Boys learn a lot as they get into the TLC Tugger, Prince Alberts, and Brandon dons his "Gay Sorting Hat" to identify their status in the Gay community. Here's a spoiler: Stefan learns he's in a new category! The show also features a Block Tale that has its roots in France, as Brandon is forced to block his entire family on Facebook after sharing a racy ad. PLUS!

Episode 83: Chris James v. The Go Off Kings

Mon, 22 Jun 2020 07:13:56 -0000

Whether he's playing the triangle, the square, or the fiddle, Chris James (comedian, Not Even a Show) is always a fan favourite, and this episode is wild off the hop as some changed plans result in a remote episode with one of our closest friends. The Blocked Boys' familiarity with Chris results in a lot of one-upmanship in the beginning of the show as they piece together how Chris ended up on this episode, and we talk about Father's Day, Twitter mentions, Queensryche, and dunking on Conservatives. Of course, the real spice of the show happens with the Block Tale, as Chris, the unofficial "Fourth King", details the story of how he got blocked from the Go Off Kings' Twitch stream, and why Stefan was being unfair.

One way to ensure you never get blocked by us is to donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month and this month is a DOOZY. We recorded an all-new Cameo bonus episode with Emma Wong, we watched the trashy Canadian primetime soap opera Whistler with Cait Raft, and coming up soon, John eats his first-ever Big Mac in the style of Peep This Out. It's only getting wilder as we are introducing a brand-new series in July commissioned by a listener, and of course your donation gets you access to our entire back catalogue PLUS our Discord. It's gonna be a Blocked Boy Summer.

Chris James hosts the Twitch show No Prank Radio every Thursday/Sunday and is the host of the prank show Not Even a Show, airing every week on YouTube. He is on Twitter at @TheCJS.

We're back in studio again and this time, everyone is here! We're joined by our first in-studio guest in three months, Savannah Erasmus (comedian), who has the most powerful block in the show's history, a flex that will be talked about for episodes to come.

It's gonna be a good month, don't miss out.

Episode 81: Alex Goldman v. Zappin_Liberals

Mon, 08 Jun 2020 07:10:35 -0000

The Blocked Boys are back, baby! In studio, that is. With the COVID restrictions in BC allowing social gatherings of up to 6, the BBs get together in the BPHQ Studio for the first time since March, and we haven't missed a beat. Well, we think, anyway. And who better to celebrate our return with than one of our most popular guests ever, the returning Alex Goldman (Reply All), who treats us to a lovely Block Tale as he gets blocked by some right-wing account called, and we are not making this up, @Zappin_Liberals. The BBs also have some time to talk childhood memories, New York Times op-eds, Boogie Cousins' best dunk, and the most cathartic moment of the Black Lives Matter/Defund the Police movement thus far.

If you're in search of more cathartic moments, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where your money will get you access to three bonus episodes every month. This month, we've got a Cameo episode coming up AND John will finally film his tribute to Peep This Out!, as he tries his first Big Mac ever. Conversely, you could ignore all that and donate to a worthy cause in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, or a women's shelter in your area. If you have enough money to support those causes and us, wonderful. If you don't, I think we all know where your money should go, and it isn't to us.

Alex Goldman is the co-host of the podcast Reply All and you can look for his new project, The Scaredy Cat Horror Show, out now on Spotify. He can be followed on Twitter at @AGoldmund.

Episode 80: Grace Spelman v. Kevin Spacey

Mon, 01 Jun 2020 06:36:10 -0000

In an episode that was recorded a week ago and thus feels like it was recorded eons ago, Grace Spelman (writer, musician) joins the show to talk about being blocked by Kevin Spacey, but not for any of the reasons you'd suspect. Call it serendipitous for Grace, given what we learned about Mr. Spacey after, but a very funny block nonetheless. As we said, this episode was recorded in what feels like a more breezy time, when the world was wracked by a devastating virus, and we find some time to touch on that as John shares one of the craziest COVID stories we've heard yet. The Blocked Boys also get into trips to Disney theme parks, video games, musicians we could beat up, and Stefan brings back "Real or Fake", but this time with Marilyn Manson quotes.

CW: This episode features a brief retelling of the Mr. Buckles story, which contains a story of animal death (no cruelty or violence). This story is told from 47:35-48:55, if you wish to avoid it.

You can also donate to our Patreon at https://patreon.com/blockedparty. We do bonus episodes there, it's fun. You could also instead donate to any one of the numerous worthy causes that need your help right now, whether it be for bailing protestors out of jail or supporting the Black/Indigenous community where you live. We stand with those communities and with those who are standing up in protests across the nation.

Grace Spelman's new show "That's My Jam" is coming out soon, and she can be followed on Twitter and Instagram at @GraceSpelman.

Episode 79: Charles v. John Podhoretz

Mon, 25 May 2020 07:02:38 -0000

Our one-named friend Charles (@Ugarles, Hostile Witness podcast) makes his show debut having an argument about religion with noted dumbass and bad Twitter guy John Podhoretz that follows the classic "I've lost this argument, so I will block you instead of admitting defeat" pattern, and it's a delight. Recording the episode a little earlier in the day than usual gets the Blocked Boys talking about coffee as Stefan ponders his new life in a gaming chair. The BBs also find time to talk about the MCU and Star Wars before the social media updates get truly wild and we get into sovereign citizen videos, the Armageddon commentary track, and Stefan has a surprise for John from an old friend.

We love old friends but we also love new friends, and if you want to be one of our new friends, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This month, however, we're stepping it up to FOUR in the name of content in the time of Covid. And it's sweet content too, as we get a Clara Jeffery block trifecta on a bonus episode with Street Fight Radio's Bryan Quinby, and coming up this week, we debut our brand-new episode type HIGH FIVERR, where we look at all the worst things the gig commerce website Fiverr.com has to offer. We have even bigger plans for June, so you won't wanna miss it!

Charles is the host of the Hostile Witness podcast and can be followed on Twitter at @Ugarles.

Episode 78: Ashley Feinberg v. Lena Dunham

Mon, 18 May 2020 08:14:18 -0000

Ashley Feinberg (writer) makes her first appearance on the show a memorable one, as she gives us one of the best Block Tales of all-time, a block that starts in the emails and ends up on Twitter as she questions Lena Dunham's weird relationship with her pets. Speaking of weird relationships, John tells Stefan and Ashley about the dream he had the night before involving the podcast and Phoebe Bridgers, amidst reminiscing on the childhood game of jinx. The BBs also manage to find time to tackle Ron Jeremy saving a tree, Brendan Fraser, Stefan pranking Your Kickstarter Sucks using Animal Crossing, and an r/relationships post involving roleplay.

If you want to roleplay as an extremely cool person, you can do so by donating to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to a bunch of delightful bonus goodies including access to our Discord and THREE bonus episodes every month. And hell, this month, we're doing FOUR bonus episodes because of quarantine times, with two already posted--a mailbag with Producer Dan and our live show with Will Weldon--and two to come, including one with Street Fight Radio's Bryan Quinby this week and another that will debut a brand-new bonus episode type, all about the website Fiverr. It's gonna be a big month and you don't wanna miss it!

Episode 77: Lydia Burrell v. Ryan Saavedra

Mon, 11 May 2020 08:17:50 -0000

Lydia Burrell (musician, comedian) joins the show and since Stefan failed to explain the concept of the show to him properly, delivers a litany of blocks including Steven Crowder and his own governor before concluding with his favourite, right-wing reporter Ryan Saavedra. LB just couldn't help pointing out to Saavedra that he resembles a certain reptile, and well...it goes from there. This episode is equally all over the place, as LB shares the worst COVID-19 parody songs from YouTube, Stefan shares the worst TV theme song of all-time and a thriller movie trailer with an unlikely star, and John tells a joke so heinous that we're forced to introduce a brand-new $500 Patreon tier for it.

You know what doesn't cost $500? A monthly donation to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where in fact just $5 gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month, including this week's bonus episode where Producer Daniel makes his show debut in an exclusive mailbag episode where we answer YOUR listener questions! There are some shocking admissions and it gets truly crazy. Plus, the video bonus episode of Blocked Party TV with Will Weldon, and some more wonderful things are all coming up later this month! Join today!

Episode 76: Molly Lambert v. SKD Knickerbocker

Mon, 04 May 2020 08:51:38 -0000

Molly Lambert (writer, Night Call) scoops up one of the most prestigious blocks in an election year: the Public Affairs Agency that represents Joe Biden and many others, after she discovers one of their prime tactics for “managing crisis” (it’s dumb and bad). It’s some serious political talk, but we manage to temper that with our usual silliness, as the Blocked Boys get into elementary school Sports Day, creating weird beverage combos as kids, and a brand-new Patreon tier: John drinks the Ben Bartch chaos smoothie. We also tackle Canadian television, Megan McArdle’s insane coronavirus theory, and John ends the show with another one of his classic “bad food opinions”.

If you want more bad opinions (but great content), you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to three bonus episodes every single month! Plus our whole back catalogue! By the time you listen to it all, we’ll be licking each other’s ice creams again!

You also get access to our Discord for the $5, a great and fun server with a wonderful community. Join today!

Episode 75: Branson Reese v. Scott Adams

Mon, 27 Apr 2020 07:09:43 -0000

One of our favourite targets is BACK, baby! Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, returns with a vengeance, and Branson Reese (artist, Rude Tales of Magic) is here to tell us how he managed to get blocked by the trigger-happy cartoonist turned horny, right-leaning weirdo. This episode gets wild right off the hop, as the boys reminisce about a story submitted to their previous podcast regarding Mr. Buckles, a child's pet who met a very tragic end, and it only gets wilder from there as we delve into the chaos breakfast of an NFL offensive tackle draftee, fighting with your childhood friends over video games, and the chonky baby. Plus, Stefan walks us through his crazy week on Twitter, as he tricked multiple journalists into thinking the Steak'Umms Twitter guy was the son of Branch Davidian leader David Koresh. Like we said, this episode is wild.

CW: this episode contains a story about animal death, however, there is no cruelty or abuse involved. It is found on the show from 4:00-11:20, if you wish not to hear it.

Something you might wish to hear though? Bonus episodes! That's right! Bonuses! More of this show! Head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty for THREE bonus episodes every damn month.

Episode 74: Graham Clark v. The Cast of American Pie

Mon, 20 Apr 2020 07:12:39 -0000

Graham Clark (comedian, Stop Podcasting Yourself) returns to the show and does something few of our guests have tried to do, in that he tries to get blocked just so he can be on the program. Not only does the brave Graham try to get blocked, but he tries to get blocked by the entire cast of 1999 teen horndog film American Pie, and resorts to bribery to do it. Is he successful? You'll have to listen to find out. Before Graham even reveals his Block Tale, The Blocked Boys talk 90s movies as John and Becca continue their rewatching of nostalgic classics, and that dovetails into talk of Harrison Ford, Will Smith, Keanu Reeves, and giant spiders. Elsewhere, we go in on cereal, candy, quarantine snacks, isolation protestors, Muppets, and Stefan's birthday.

If you want to celebrate like it's your birthday, you can do so by donating to our Patreon at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5 a month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every dang month.

Mon, 13 Apr 2020 07:00:00 -0000

Alison Stevenson (writer, comedian) joins us to help get to the bottom of a mystery John calls "The Mindy Project": why did Mindy Kaling block her? It's another Block Tale where we try and help our guest get unblocked, as she cannot figure out how or why she got blocked and tries to enlist our help. Speaking of needing help, Stefan requires some help with his damn goatee, as he's finally given up on trying to grow a full quarantine beard and has now become a "Goatee Guy". The Blocked Boys also learn about the business of dick pics, who the New Hope Club are, and Stefan gives us an update on the COVID-19 truthers he talked about on the show a few weeks prior.

If you want to make sure you are always fully updated, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5 a month gets you access to THREE full bonus episodes, every single month.

Episode 72: Eli Yudin v. ?uestlove

Mon, 06 Apr 2020 06:54:51 -0000

Eli Yudin (comedian, What a Time To Be Alive) joins the Blocked Boys and it's clear they're all getting stir-crazy, as this is our longest episode to date, chatting about blocks you didn't know you had, especially when they're from people you respect as Eli gets blocked by the famed drummer from The Roots. With all this episode (and spare) time, the BBs cover a lot of topics: what to drink in the morning, cross-border references, Animal Crossing, Dragons Den, sports commentators, clothes we loved as kids, and Stefan shows John a series of gross images that John hates. What else is new?

You know what else is new? Our bonus content! You can donate to the show over at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5 a month gets you access to THREE fresh bonus episodes every damn month.

Episode 71: Nikki Glaser v. DM Sliders

Mon, 30 Mar 2020 06:45:32 -0000

Nikki Glaser (comedian, "Bangin'" out now on Netflix!) gives us a glimpse into the DMs of a female celebrity, and it's uhh....not good. We delve into the push and pull of wanting to possibly meet the right person through the DMs, while also needing to deal with the full frontal assault from everyone else, as we look at four different times dudes unsuccessfully tried to strike up a conversation. It's another remote episode as Stefan and John are socially separated and Nikki is at home with her parents in St. Louis, so we discuss the merits of being quarantined with your partner as opposed to your parents, and Nikki ponders her potential cancellation over comments we make towards the old couple who drank aquarium cleaner and the TikTok guy who licked a toilet seat. Plus! Stefan and Nikki go in on John's dad energy, Nikki weighs in on Stefan's quarantine goatee, and John tells the embarrassing story of hitting on Nikki on Twitter in 2011.

So come join us on our descent into madness!

Episode 70: Kate Willett v. John Cusack

Mon, 23 Mar 2020 07:04:43 -0000

Kate Willett (comedian) joins us for our first-ever fully remote episode, as John, Stefan, and Dan all observe social distancing despite living 5 minutes away from each other. The episode is understandably a bit COVID-heavy, as we make sense of this new world around us, ponder whether this will finally prompt the United States to make changes to their healthcare system, and worry that any sign of diarrhea will be a harbinger of bad things to come. But the Blocked Boys manage to stray off-topic too as we try to make some light of our situations and get into nephews, video games, cooking, and Kate tells us about self-isolating with a brand-new partner plus a very redemptive Block Tale.

If you want to redeem yourself in self-isolation, you can do so by donating $5/month to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty. That $5 will bring you our entire back catalogue, which features over 40 episodes and this week will bump up to 20 newsletters.

Send us your info at live@blockedparty.com and we'll make sure you get the invite for what should be a great show.

Episode 69: Jaya Sundaresh v. Jon Favreau

Mon, 16 Mar 2020 07:15:45 -0000

It's episode 69 (nice), so you know what that means: it's one life cycle of the podcast, as Jaya Sundaresh (journalist, Jaya Time) brings it all back to where we started, by getting blocked by Pod Save America dweeb Jon Favreau. Like many before her, Jaya gained a following by dunking on him repeatedly, and we're all too happy to set her up for the alley-oop. You may think that's a cheap sports metaphor, but it's apt, as we hear from a listener who got blocked by OJ Simpson, and we only talk about the virus a little bit, as Stefan reveals his new plan for content in the wake of self-isolation, and John shares what he thinks is the best tweet of the corona saga so far.

I don't even need a fun tagline this week, because you're indoors and you need some content! Well, we have a whole lot. Only $5/month gets you access to our ENTIRE back catalogue, for those moments when you want to avoid getting sick in public by making yourself sick at home listening to us idiots. We will also have THREE new bonus episodes this month including this week, as we do another Word Up! Cameo episode with a new feature: we can see people's instructions for the celebs. It gets wild, and fan fave Christine Bortolin joins us to break it all down. Plus, that $5 gets you access to our Discord, the best darn community on the internet. So join us, we have lots of fun stuff waiting for you as we ride the 'Rona together.

Episode 68: Adam Christie v. ???

Mon, 09 Mar 2020 06:20:18 -0000

Adam Christie (comedian) refuses to tell the Blocked Boys who his block is, and the surprise paid off for us, so we figure it should have the chance to pay off for you in one of the more memorable Block Tales that ends with the three men in song. The Blocked Boys continue along their usual path of destruction, starting a little on the crude side but ending with the sweetest Top 3 yet. In between, we discuss Adam's new website, frequent flyer miles, Lunchables, parents, and John's album recording.

If you're hoping to reach 100K status with Blocked Party this year, you'll join the Patreon at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE amazing bonus episodes every month AND our top-secret Discord, which has a wonderful community. This past month, we did another all-Cameo bonus episode, we played trivia, and we finally did the video reveal of all 37 Funko Pops John received as part of the #FunkoPopChallenge. This month, we've got another Patreon goal reached, as John is forced to eat the first Big Mac of his life and review it, Ian K. style with a video review in his car in the style of Peep This Out!. It's gonna be a doozy and you won't wanna miss it!

Episode 67: Beth Stelling v. Her Ex-Stepdad

Mon, 02 Mar 2020 08:32:51 -0000

Sweeps Month comes to an end with another huge guest, as Beth Stelling (comedian) joins us to break things off with her ex-stepdad quite a few years after her mom did, as she blocks him live on the show after one of the craziest Block Tales ever. It’s well-known old people cannot tell time, but he provides a crazy example, finally getting upset with a joke Beth told about him about seven years after she released it. The BBBs (Blocked Boys n’ Beth) don’t stop their targets there, as they aim their sights at dentists, veterinarians, veterinarian dentists, Michael Bloomberg, Love is Blind, and Stefan’s newest absolutely absurd take involving breakfast cereals that has to be heard to be believed.

One thing you don’t need to hear to believe is that donating $5 a month to our Patreon at https://patreon.com/blockedparty will get you access to three phenomenal bonus episodes every month. February was our Sweeps Month and we pulled out all the stops, bringing in Chris Locke for an all-Cameo bonus episode, Jesse Farrar for Trivia Party 2, and we finally released the long-awaited Pop THIS Out! video episode, where John, Stefan, and Kevin Banner open all 37 of the terrible Funko Pops John received over the last two months. It’s insane! You gotta get over here!

Episode 66: Doughboys v. Hoarse Whisperer

Mon, 24 Feb 2020 07:21:26 -0000

It's a podcasting crossover for the ages as we near the end of BP Sweeps Month, with the Doughboys themselves, Nick Wiger and Mike Mitchell, joining the Blocked Boys in the studio. We discuss how being friends with Jack Allison is definitely very good but also led us all to be blocked by the famous Hoarse Whisperer, one of the worst Twitter accounts known to man (or horse). The Blocked (and Dough) Boys start the episode by talking about arcade games and Pokémon, and move into a bunch of our favorite subjects, like Funko Pops, auto-texts from candidates, Julian Castro, the heinous TV show Suits, and we are forced to apologize yet again for our actions through our apology medium of choice, Joey from Joey's World Tour.

One thing we will NOT apologize for is all the amazing bonus content we have available over at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5 a month gets you access to our entire back catalogue, gets you access to the healthiest, happiest, and most fun Discord on the internet, AND gets you access to all of our special BP Sweeps Month bonuses. Those include an all-Cameo bonus episode with Chris Locke, a new episode of Trivia Party with Jesse Farrar, and this week, the #FunkoPopChallenge will finally meet its end, as John, Stefan, and Kevin Banner review all 37 Funko Pops John received in a very special video episode. It's all there for you to discover! Right now! Do it!

Episode 65: Charlie Demers v. Himself

Mon, 17 Feb 2020 09:30:52 -0000

BP Sweeps Month continues with one of our most requested guests of all-time, Charlie Demers (author, comedian). Charlie has one of the more involved Block Tales ever, as he has an existential crisis over a tweet going viral, and decides to quit the platform entirely. The episode once again balances the serious with the hilarious, as we wonder what the point of social media is in 2020, while also appreciating its finer points, like a man getting his penis stuck in between train doors, the firing of Tanner Zipchen, and Instagram algorithms not understanding anything about us. And Charlie kicks off the episode with a bang, immediately coming after Stefan for his prosciutto/melon take, before ultimately getting sucked into Stefan’s gamesmanship and partnering up with him against John as the fruit takes get more and more insane.

If you want to partner up with Stefan, you can do so at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to an insane amount of bonus content. You get 3 bonus episodes every month, you get access to our Discord, which has been called one of the best places on the internet, and once you donate $50 lifetime, you get a free shirt! It’s wild! And we’re pulling out all the stops for Sweeps Month, as we have an all-Cameo episode up now with Chris Locke that has one of our funniest riffs of all-time, we have Trivia Party 2 coming out this week with YKS’ Jesse Farrar, and Kevin Banner will be joining us at the end of February for a video episode featuring the #FunkoPopChallenge, where John opens all 37 (!) Funkos he received over the last month. THE TIME IS NOW!

Episode 64: Carlos Maza v. Comfortably Smug

BP Sweeps Month keeps bringing the heat as Carlos Maza (media critic, YouTube, Vox) learns that even if you want to win an ignominious award for being a liberal hack, you can’t stuff the ballot box, as he gets blocked by one of the worst Republicans on Twitter. Keeping Carlos updated about Cameo leads to some new insight on the dreaded website, and the Blocked Boys go in on BreadTube’s Reddit, Michael Bloomberg, our $1 million dollar Patreon goal, mustaches, and we get serious as Carlos has some thoughts on the 2020 Election. It’s not all serious though, as we end with one of the most memorable top 3s in show history as the BBs tap into their drag queen side.

If you want to create more memories with the show, you can do so by donating $5/month to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where that $5 gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. For BP’s Sweeps Month, we are going crazy, as we’re bringing on listener favourite Chris Locke for an all-Cameo bonus episode, we’re bringing back Trivia Party with Meg Walls as Jesse tries to win back some smart points for YKS, and John finally unveils all the gifts he received as part of the #FunkoPopChallenge.

Episode 63: Taylor Lorenz v. Lin-Manuel Miranda

Mon, 03 Feb 2020 07:44:52 -0000

It's BP's Sweeps Month and Taylor Lorenz (New York Times) takes the beautiful lob pass we've thrown at her and dunks on one of Blocked Party's favorite targets, Lin-Manuel Miranda. We celebrate Taylor's block by playing another round of "Is This a Lin-Manuel Miranda Tweet?" that leaves Taylor and John completely stumped. The Blocked Boys, to continue this pointless basketball metaphor, drain 3s from everywhere as they talk about magic underwear, mechanical bulls, veganism, Caroline Calloway, The Hoarse Whisperer, and Stefan getting involved with Medicare twitter.

If you want to take your commitment to Blocked Party to overtime, you can head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to tons of amazing bonus content. As we said above, it's BP Sweeps Month, and we're going all out for February.

Episode 62: Derek Estevez-Olsen v. George Shapiro

Mon, 27 Jan 2020 08:00:41 -0000

Derek Estevez-Olsen (TruthPoint) joins us in studio for one of the best reaction moments in show history, as the #FunkoPopChallenge gets taken to an all-new level when John opens his Funko gift from Stefan. Elsewhere, the Blocked Boys talk curling, porno, Craigslist (but not Craigslist porno), Bone Bone (the cat not the porno), and the whitest possible response to Marshawn Lynch's last press conference of the season. And in our Block Tale, Derek tries really hard to get represented by Jerry Seinfeld's agent, and it ends in a block, though we discover George Shapiro does have the most old man Twitter of all-time.

If you don't want to be accused of being an old man online, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes, including this month's strong trifecta of a mailbag featuring John's girlfriend Becca, an all-Cameo bonus episode featuring Will Menaker of Chapo Trap House with our most insane Cameo ever, and coming up this week, John talks about getting blocked by Jalen Rose. It's the best deal in podcasting and we'd hate for you to miss out.

Episode 61: Christine Bortolin v. An Ex-Employee

Mon, 20 Jan 2020 08:17:14 -0000

Christine Bortolin (improviser) returns for an episode that gets wild right out of the gate, as talk of the #FunkoPopChallenge goes sideways. John opens his first Funko Pop from a listener (and Christine brings him one as a gift!) and it leads to discussion about the hairy-faced twins from Mexico, whether or not there's Funko porn, and John's very least favourite subreddit. Elsewhere, Christine tells us of having to block a former employee of her work to spare him from constant tweets from them, and John shares what might be the greatest nutshot of all-time.

If you don't want to feel like you got hit in your precious parts, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month will get you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This month, we've already brought John's girlfriend Becca on the show for a predictably wild and embarrassing mailbag episode, and this past weekend, Will Menaker from Chapo Trap House joined us to record another all-Cameo bonus episode, where we reveal the worst Cameo we've ever purchased. It'll be coming out this week and worth the $5 all on its own. We also release bi-weekly newsletters and give out t-shirts and you'll get access to our Discord server, one of the happiest places on the internet. So come on in. It's nice here.

Episode 60: Gavin Matts v. Chris D'Elia

Mon, 13 Jan 2020 08:10:45 -0000

Gavin Matts (comedian) returns to deliver a double dose of D'Elia, though his block is a little more innocuous than Olivia Stadler's, as he tells Chris that another comedian is better than him. That's it. That's the whole block. Seems a bit sensitive by Chris. Speaking of sensitive, Chris D'Elia does not appear on this podcast, so if you're some weirdo from Norway who thinks he is and gives us a one-star review because he's not, that's the scoop. He's not on the show. What you WILL find on the show is the Blocked Boys going off on clown college, the Black Forest, Tony Hawk, and Stefan reveals who he thinks the sexiest train from Thomas the Tank Engine is. Plus, you'll find out why Gavin deleted all of his tweets, how he befriended Dan Nainan, and how he definitely remembered to prepare a Top 3.

If you want to be more prepared for this podcast, you can access all of our sweet bonus content over at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every dang month. This week, we have a very special mailbag episode where we are joined by John's girlfriend, Becca! She does not disappoint, spilling all the beans about John and lots of BP history. That'll come out this week and next week, we've got another all-Cameo bonus episode on the way with a VERY special guest, so get in while the getting is good. PLUS, we have newsletters, some upcoming video episodes, and a $50 lifetime donation gets you a FREE Blocked Party shirt!

Episode 59: Ellen Cushing v. Taylor Swift Fans

Mon, 06 Jan 2020 07:12:47 -0000

Ellen Cushing (The Atlantic) sparks the wrath of one of the worst online fanbases despite being a massive Taylor Swift fan herself, as the fans show Ellen no mercy for a fairly innocent Swift take, and it becomes pretty hard for her to look at her mentions and just shake it off. Ellen admits that she finds it very easy to fall into the rhythm of the show, which is to gang up on John with Stefan, and Stefan also announces his new year's resolution: to bring back that heinous mustache. Elsewhere, the Blocked Boys talk physical fighting as they plan a potential boxing match, John describes his disdain for the name Ellen, and we learn about Billionaire Magazine, the magazine for billionaires.

If you want to feel like a billionaire without actually making a billion dollars, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month will get you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. We had a great December with the introduction of Trivia Party and the return of Ivan Decker, and January is going to be unbelievable, as we've got some VERY special guests lined up this month that people are going to love. Hop on in, enjoy the luxurious bonus content, access to our Discord, and knowing that you may be contributing to the Blocked Boys boxing. (say that three times fast)

Episode 58: The 2020 Blocked Party Enemies List

Mon, 30 Dec 2019 12:09:20 -0000

It’s a new year and a new us, as we kick off the turn of the new decade by declaring our top 10 enemies for 2020. Enough with positive resolutions, it’s time that our enemies be identified and aware that we are not putting up with their shit in the new year. Stefan and John both come to the table with their 5 Most Hated, and then they work together to decide the official Blocked Party Top 10 Enemies of 2020. The BBs also talk about Stefan’s excursion to see the cursed movie “Cats”, and they both talk about their respective Christmases.

Episode 57: Clare Belford v. Her Uncle

Mon, 23 Dec 2019 05:10:41 -0000

Clare Belford (comedian) helps us understand that the time our mom added us on Facebook really wasn't as bad as we thought it was, because one time, her uncle added her on Instagram and it was...well, his profile was pretty horny. It's the perfect block for the holiday season, as the Blocked Boys throw some sleigh bells on the theme song, talk about family, and call it a Christmas episode. And what an episode it is, as the BBs dive back into Canadian small towns, the history of Boston Pizza, the CBC horse-raising soap opera Heartland, the most pleasant exchange about video gaming on the internet, and John gives out his first-ever Peen Nuts business card on the air.

If you want to give a great Christmas gift this year, why not donate $5/month to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty where that donation will get you access to THREE bonus episodes every month.

We work really hard to bring you only the best in bonus content, and when you reach a $50 lifetime donation, we send you a shirt. Santa loves deals I think I heard in an ad, so hop on this one!

Episode 56: Taz VanRassel v. His Dad's Friend

Mon, 16 Dec 2019 07:08:02 -0000

Taz VanRassel (improviser, The Sunday Service) picks up a block in a surprising place: from a senior citizen! We didn't even know they knew how to block, but an ironic swear word in a Facebook post does the trick as Taz's dad gets served with a paragraph-long explanation for the block. The Blocked Boys also learn from Taz what it's like to go on a tour of elementary schools doing improv while also hitting on vapes, kombucha, gym class, bears, police poetry, and we run through the most wholesome top 3 ever: houseplants.

If you want some more wholesome content, you can get it by donating $5/month at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where your five dollars gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month! This month, we are going wild with an all-Cameo bonus episode, a brand-new bonus episode format where we play trivia with our good friend Michael Hale (Your Kickstarter Sucks), and Stefan and John answer listener questions in a new mailbag, which will be out this week. We also have newsletters and other fun stuff, and if you donate $50 lifetime, we'll send you a free shirt! We're cool like that. Come be cool like us.

Episode 55: Jamie Loftus v. Mensa

Mon, 09 Dec 2019 07:07:11 -0000

Jamie Loftus (writer, Bechdel Cast) returns to give us a sneak peek of her new show, "My Year in Mensa", by detailing the time she went to a Mensa thing called "Nerd Camp" and got blocked from a very weird alt-right Mensa Facebook group as a result. It is both one of the most detailed and insane Block Tales to ever be told on the show. And the goodness this week does NOT stop there, as Stefan details his couple of days where he pretended to get a Baby Yoda Tattoo, dragging John and a bunch of our listeners along with him in a crusade against the man who couldn't understand irony. The Blocked Boys also hear from the kid who called Doug Ford a timbit, the totally bonkers Christmas movie Jack Frost, and Jamie helps us revisit one of the most beloved top 3s of all-time.

TW: This episode contains discussion (albeit light-hearted) of stillbirth and miscarriages from 27:05 to 36:19.

If you want be beloved, you can do so by donating $5/month to the BBs at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where that donation gets you THREE bonus episodes every month. This month, we've brought back listener favorite Ivan Decker to look at some insane celebrity Cameos with us, and this week, we will be debuting a BRAND NEW bonus episode format: Trivia Party! That's right, the boys get challenged by a $100 donor to a trivia contest, and they bring along another fan favorite, Michael Hale, to play a rousing game of trivia with them. The results are predictable in their unpredictability, and it's a blast. We've got a ton of great bonus episodes in the back catalogue too, and they're all yours with a donation, so let's make it happen and we can all understand irony together.

Episode 54: Olivia Stadler v. Chris D'Elia

Mon, 02 Dec 2019 06:43:04 -0000

Olivia Stadler (comedian) teaches Chris D'Elia (and us) a valuable lesson: just because you're famous doesn't mean you can slide into the DMs clumsily. An attempted meet-up ends with the two never meeting and Chris footing Olivia's hotel bar bill in a wonderful Block Tale. Elsewhere, John gives Stefan and Olivia a diagrammed lesson about the sport of curling (which also leads to talk about his vaguely athletic body), Olivia prods Kendall Jenner to come out, Stefan talks about ball lightning (it's not what you think), and John gets some comments on his Entourage podcast guest appearance that are exactly what you'd expect.

For other things you'd expect (mostly stupid), you can also donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5 a month will get you access to THREE shiny bonus episodes every single month. Our esteemed series where we break down celebrity Cameos (as featured on A.V. Club) returns this week with special guest Ivan Decker, and there's tons of great content from John's first time smoking weed and our first tour of live shows from last month ready to go right now! There's literally nothing that could be better. It's a great Christmas present! So do it today!

Episode 53: Jesse Farrar v. Jessica Morales Rocketto

Mon, 25 Nov 2019 09:12:30 -0000

Jesse Farrar (Your Kickstarter Sucks, Go Off Kings) returns to the show, and whips up a frenzy to try and get blocked for the occasion. After firing barbs at the likes of Mark Cuban and Jonathan Chait, Jesse finally catches a block from "JMR" after her very misguided tweet about socialism and her vote. It's our longest episode ever, and quite frankly, it's deserving of the chaos, as Jesse gets Stefan a special gift to celebrate his Song of the Day, John unearths a social media update he's been waiting 3 months to reveal, and Jesse and Stefan have a Social Media Update surprise for John. In addition to all that, the Blocked Boys go in on the worst team at their first trivia night, the worst game show we've ever heard of (Geeks Who Drink), and chicken wings.

If this insane episode inspires you as much as it does us, you may want even more of the insanity at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE wonderful bonus episodes every month. This month, we celebrated our 1-Year Anniversary with a ton of content, including live audio from our first-ever live show, and the video/audio episodes where John, a 34 year-old man, smokes weed for the first time. Chris James and Joshua Custodio join us, and it's a heck of a time. We have a ton of great stuff planned for December as well, so make it a holiday occasion and hop on the BP train. And remember: once you donate $50 to the show lifetime, you get a free shirt. It never stops being this good.

Episode 52: Chris Locke v. Gary Gulman

Mon, 18 Nov 2019 07:33:41 -0000

Chris Locke (comedian) becomes our first guest to return for a second regular episode, and folks, it's a doozy. If last episode with Becca Lewis proved we were a smart podcast, we go all the way dumb on this one as Chris gets blocked by famed comedian Gary Gulman after an innocuous comment on one of his #GulManTips. Elsewhere, it's a 5-alarm blaze as the Blocked Boys go absolutely wild on getting cut open by a whaler's rusty fish hook, Bill Gates and The Poop Guy, mood ring toilet seats, instruments of torture, and we learn the story of how Chris got banned from Twitter.

If you want to finally catch the great white whale, you can do so at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5 a month will get you more bonus content than you can handle. This week, we are celebrating the 1-Year Anniversary of the show with new content releasing every day, from audio from our first ever BP live show to the content you've been waiting months for: John smoking weed for the first time. It really happened, and we filmed it, then we recorded an episode, and it's all going to be coming out this week. It's a big one, folks. If you ever thought you were gonna donate to the show, now's the time.

Episode 51: Becca Lewis v. Internet Trolls

Mon, 11 Nov 2019 04:59:00 -0000

Becca Lewis (PhD candidate in Internet Politics, Stanford) makes us all smarter by telling us what life is like as a PhD student who exclusively studies internet culture. It's mostly good but also sometimes very bad, when that culture you research almost exclusively consists of internet nutjobs. After spending a large amount of time learning stuff, the Blocked Boys then drag Becca down into their weird corner of the internet, as the BBs go in on YouTube makeup tutorials, inspiring Kleenex, the Vancouver otter that's terrorizing botanical gardens, and Stefan decides it might finally be time to get a bidet.

If you want to feel as clean as you've ever felt, you can donate $5/month to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where your donation will make you feel great because you're getting THREE bonus episodes every damn month. This is the month where John smokes weed for the first time with some very special guests, and you won't wanna miss it. You can also donate just $4 to get access to Stefan and John's weekly newsletter, or $8 will get you both the episodes and the newsletter, if you're the content monster we know you are.

Episode 50: Nick Nemeroff v. Comedy Central Commenters

Mon, 04 Nov 2019 09:53:13 -0000

Nick Nemeroff (comedian) gets very excited for his first TV appearance on Comedy Central, without considering that they have 3M Facebook followers, and they might have some opinions on his comedy that are very bad. However, Nick deals with it in the best way possible and talks about what is one of the funniest internet bits ever. Aside from that, this episode is essentially just John’s Worst Nightmare, as the rest of the episode is mainly designed to punish him. Stefan makes John watch the episode of Peep This Out! where he walks on a bridge he believes is haunted, John talks about Becca absolutely owning him with a birthday card, and Nick…well Nick doesn’t really punish him, but he’s also not Chrissy Teigen (we tried). Just a bad time for John all around, and we also learn about the guy who orgasms 100 times a day, which doesn’t make it any better.

If you’d like to feel better, you can donate to the BP Patreon at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single damn month. We’re crazy. October was a hot month as we had guests from Street Fight Radio, Truthpoint, and Welcome to Sullyville on the show, talking Cameos, The Fanatic, and answering your questions. This month, we are going to be doing some live stuff AND JOHN SMOKES WEED FOR THE FIRST TIME. It’s happening, and he’s doing it with a couple of guests who were described as “the worst possible people you could smoke weed with if it was your first time.” You won’t wanna miss it. And hey, if you hate bonus audio and don’t have the time, we also have a BP newsletter you can access for $4/month. It’s all good stuff and it’s all for you.

Episode 49: Chris Griffin v. A Girl He Met After a Show

Mon, 28 Oct 2019 08:19:11 -0000

Chris Griffin (comedian) joins us on the show to tell a cautionary tale: no matter how well you do at a show, and no matter how interested a woman seems, there's always the potential for things to go sideways. And go sideways they do, as the woman pitches Chris on a weird date idea and then blocks him a day later. The Blocked Boys help Chris understand exactly what happened as they also tell tales of gender reveal disasters, the worst types of sports fans, Halloween costumes, and trips to small towns across Canada. Very specifically, Powell River, British Columbia. This episode was NOT brought to you by the Powell River Board of Tourism.

What we can bring you, however, is a fine helping of bonus content over at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month now gets you THREE beautiful bonus episodes every single month. We've had a big month too, as we were joined by Bryan and Brett from Street Fight Radio, Derek and dril from Truthpoint, and this week, Dan O'Sullivan returns to the show to play FMK with the Blocked Boys and John reveals a massive secret. It's only $5 and you get lots of great bonus goodies, our undying love, and a T-Shirt once you donate $50. It's good and you should do it.

Episode 48: K.C. Novak v. A Booty Call

Mon, 21 Oct 2019 07:23:49 -0000

K.C. Novak (comedian) asks the question, "can you do sex tonight?" and folks, the answer isn't a positive one. We learn all about her ex-boyfriend and occasional lover blocking her while also leaning on K.C. for emotional support but also being mad at her for not being spiritual enough? It's a wild series of DMs that makes for one of the best Blocked Tales ever. Elsewhere, The Blocked Boys get yet another care package from Australia and try very hard to figure out what "Chicken Crimpy" is, K.C. tries to educate us on the finer points of social media follows in the beginning of a new relationship, and Stefan and John get incredibly heated about time zones.

If you want to bring some real heat, you can do so right now by donating $5/month to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty where that $5 will get you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This month, we've got two doozies already as we had the Street Fight Radio boys join us to watch the absurd Fred Durst movie "The Fanatic", and the boys behind Adult Swim's "Truthpoint", Derek and dril, joined us for our monthly Cameo episode, where we take a look at awful celebrity Cameos. We've got a mailbag coming up next week with another very special guest, and this content train just keeps rolling. So come aboard. It's nice here. We also have a top-secret Discord and your donation gets you the entire back catalogue of bonuses too.

Episode 47: Sam Seder v. Dave Rubin

Mon, 14 Oct 2019 07:16:07 -0000

Sam Seder (Majority Report) is definitely not encouraging you or discouraging you from asking Dave Rubin to debate him, as he fills us in on the months-long saga that progressed from an offer for a debate to a Twitter muting to finally a blocking. It's one of our most detailed Blocked Tales ever, and one of the best. That doesn't stop the Blocked Boys from having lots of time for other stuff too, as they delve into video games, summer camp, hot dogs, Steven Crowder, one of the largest Twitter ratios of all-time, and Stefan getting a Trump guy to quit Twitter.

One way to ensure you don't get ratio'ed is to donate to everyone's favourite Patreon at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every damn month. That's right, before we were doing two, now it's THREE! We're dumb and you love content, it's a match made in heaven. This month we've already watched the insane/horrible Fred Durst/John Travolta movie "The Fanatic", and this upcoming week will feature our monthly Cameo episode, where this month we're joined by "Truthpoint" stars dril and Derek to review the worst in celebrity shout-outs from Cameo.com. There's never been a better time to be a part of this mess.

Episode 46: Paul Bae v. A Twitter Troll

Mon, 07 Oct 2019 07:22:15 -0000

Paul Bae (The Black Tapes, Marvels, The Big Loop) joins us for a block as old as time: a Twitter egg replies to you, you dunk on him for a few minutes, and then you get blocked. As far as old tales go, the Blocked Boys also waste no time getting to talking about their favourite topics, as John gives an update on his waxing and Stefan reveals that he cursed himself on the last episode in a totally unsurprising way. The three men don't just stop there, as we delve into Saturday Night Live, The Joker, local politician Rocky Dong, and John and Paul--a former teacher--swap stories about the funniest pranks they've pulled on students.

If you want more funny pranks, you can donate $5/month to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5 now gets you THREE bonus episodes per month, as we reached the $5000 goal! That's right, baby: John is gonna smoke weed, and you get more of our very stupid content. Last month we were joined by the YKS boys for a Cameo episode and later this month, we're going to have another two VERY special guests join us for a Cameo episode you won't wanna miss. But first! This week, Bryan and Brett from Street Fight join us to break down the Fred Durst/John Travolta vehicle "The Fanatic". It's all happening! Our Patreon is the place to be.

Episode 45: Cait Raft v. Their Middle School Crush

Mon, 30 Sep 2019 07:35:11 -0000

Cait Raft (JackAM, This Podcast is Self Care) created 30+ AIM accounts to profess their love for their middle school crush, ranging from posing as his best friend to blatantly creating accounts just for him, and he blocked 'em all! It's one of our wildest Block Tales yet and it makes sense as this episode goes absolutely and completely off the rails. The Blocked Boys get into all sorts of mess in this one, from Joey's World Tour farting on camera to the Bristol Stool Chart to the top 3 things that come out of our bodies. Not enough? We also go in on bad toilet auras, ass waxing, and Ed the Sock makes a triumphant return. The only wholesome thing in this entire episode is when John pays a Top Chef Masters champion, Chris Cosentino, to weigh in on Stefan's insane pizza take. So enjoy that. Who knows about the rest.

Speaking of wholesome content, you can find so much of it over at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where every month we are producing TWO bonus episodes and some newsletters too! This month's bonus episodes were SPECIAL, as we were joined by Will Weldon for a Hell Block and just last week we released an all-Cameo bonus with Michael Hale and Jesse Farrar from Your Kickstarter Sucks. So many bad Cameos, so little time, and Joey from Joey's World Tour provides what Jon Hendren called, "the funniest 5 minutes of a podcast I've ever heard". If that's not an endorsement, nothing is.

Episode 44: Graham Wright v. Gary Janetti

Mon, 23 Sep 2019 06:33:09 -0000

Graham Wright (Tokyo Police Club, Girlfriend Material, our theme song writer) joins us for a lot of firsts: the first time our theme song has ever been played live, the first cold open in the show's history, and the first time a Block Tale has been done IN REAL TIME, as Graham searches for someone to block and we find a very boring and mediocre Instagram personality as the target. Elsewhere, The BBs discover that John only really goes off the rails while recording in the morning, as we talk smashing windows, Badlands Chugs, the Santa Cruz Joker, McDonald's breakfast, and the anatomy of John's...well, anatomy.

If you wanna go off the rails at any time of day, you can do so by donating $5/month to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where you'll get TWO bonus episodes every month. This month, we have already had Will Weldon on to discuss Stefan's Bill Simmons block, and THIS WEEK we'll have another treat featuring your two favourite boys, Jesse Farrar and Michael Hale from Your Kickstarter Sucks, on to do an all-Cameo bonus episode with us, featuring the stupidest Cameo we've ever purchased. And if you know our Cameo episodes, that's an extremely high (low?) bar. It's gonna be good.

Episode 43: Josiah Hughes v. Mike Bullard

Mon, 16 Sep 2019 07:15:45 -0000

Josiah Hughes (writer, blink-155 podcast) dips deep into the well of CanCon to discuss being blocked by a legendary Canadian talk show host about a matter of "chivalry". The Blocked Boys also look at the famous episode of Open Mike where Tom Green brings a dead raccoon on air, and mix in more Canadian references than you can shake a maple leaf at. Elsewhere, the BBs get into their various experiences with liquor store bootlegging, and talk Tom DeLonge impersonators, Gronk curing his own CTE, and MuchMusic legend Ed the Sock.

If you want to help us create even more Canadian content, you can do so at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5 a month gets you full access to TWO bonus episodes every single month. This month, we welcome another Canadian on the show, Will Weldon, to talk about the time Stefan got blocked by Bill Simmons, and we have another Cameo bonus episode coming soon with two VERY special guests. AND if that isn't enough, we also write a weekly-ish newsletter for those who don't need any more of our Canadian accents. It's $4 a month for those, or $8 if you want the newsies and the bonus episodes. Great deals, great times.

Andrea Jin (comedian) tells us that she'll do just about anything for votes in a stand-up comedy contest, whether that means showing her body, face, or stringing along a guy from Miami. Also on the show, The Blocked Boys finally put a pin in the Jeremy Renner saga as Stefan (Mr. Heck, according to the New York Times) delivers the final update and John finds out what happens when you tell the Stop M app that you've just relapsed. Andrea fills the boys in on what the hell TikTok is, and Stefan goes truly wild with his stupidest opinion yet, the opinion that makes the "morning is not part of the day" controversy seem like a widely accepted opinion that everyone holds.

Want to do something uncontroversial? You could go ahead and donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty. For $5 a month, you'll get two bonus episodes, including the one we just recorded with Will Weldon due out this week, and one coming at the end of this month where we are joined by two VERY special guests for a Cameo episode you won't wanna miss.

Episode 41: Guy Branum v. Antoni Porowski

Mon, 02 Sep 2019 10:03:37 -0000

One of the most requested guests in Blocked Party history, Guy Branum (comedian, author “My Life as a Goddess”) joins the show to help us learn why a man with a 6-pack should never be trusted to be a food critic. Speaking of food, John continues on his roll of terrible food critique, except this time he has to experience it live and in-person as he overhears one of the worst dinner conversations of all-time. Elsewhere, Stefan details his destruction of the Jeremy Renner app and Guy weighs in on Canadian politics, Stefan’s mustache and reveals why he had to delete Twitter this week. #boursin

If you have deleted Twitter, you may not know about our wonderful Patreon. You can find it at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5 a month gets you access to TWO brand-new bonus episodes every month. This past month, we did a mailbag and a special BOYS CHAT where Stefan and John sat down, sans guest, and rocked an episode. In September, we’ll be doing another very special Cameo episode with two VERY special guests you won’t wanna miss. So get into it! And if you hate hearing stuff, we have a weekly (ish) newsletter for $4/month with some great writing from Stefan and John. Plenty of reasons to let your favourite Blocked Boys know you love them.

Episode 40: Sophia Johnson v. Her Classmate

Mon, 26 Aug 2019 06:09:47 -0000

Sophia Johnson (actor, comedian) is probably the first woman in history to get blocked for playing Magic: The Gathering with a guy her classmate had a crush on. He played an all-blue deck, so he was probably too controlling anyway. This episode sees the Blocked Boys get the lowdown on New Zealand's favourite soap opera (which Sophia acted on) and Stefan & John pitch their own ideas for a soap opera involving them. We also look at the fake Sophia who studied hieroglyphics, we check in on past guest Bryan Quinby from Street Fight Radio, and Stefan causes John an intense amount of emotional distress as John watches one of the worst videos in internet history. And finally, we announce our plans to land a big guest for Episode 50.

If you want to ward off emotional distress, a great way to do that is by donating to the show at http://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5 a month gets you access to TWO bonus episodes. This month, we have a mailbag feature episode with Kyle Bottom, and we're going to be debuting a NEW bonus episode format THIS WEEK! Exciting. Stefan and John are also hard at work writing newsletters, which you can access by upping your $5 donation to $8, or by skipping the audio content altogether and donating $4. SO MANY THINGS!

Kevin Banner (comedian) returns, this time on a regular episode, to tell us about the time he pissed off the lead singer of KISS and the Prime Minister of Canada in one fell swoop. Kevin and John get an up-close look at Stefan’s new weed pen as they discuss how close John is getting to that $5k Patreon goal of smoking weed for the first time and the Blocked Boys get all the details about Kevin’s divorce announcement. Elsewhere, we discuss jacking off at work, Gene Simmons’ sex tape, and this week it’s John’s turn to play an absolutely cringeworthy video.

Mon, 12 Aug 2019 07:16:00 -0000

Bobby Big Wheel (internet funnyman) gets Stefan extremely excited for his Block Tale by getting blocked by Stefan's most hated man on the internet, Benny Johnson. This block also leads to an extremely fun revelation during the listener block segment, and we partake in one of the worst Ted Talks of all-time. The Blocked Boys also dive deep on getting hacked by ISIS, feral hogs, the fish tube, rewriting Christmas carols, and Tommy Lee borrows from Reddit in one of the most bizarre tweets of all-time.

Mon, 05 Aug 2019 08:31:00 -0000

Rachel Schaefer (comedian) joins us to tell a story of how a close friend became an unwitting roommate after she asked to couch surf and then never left. Needless to say, the story doesn’t end well. The Blocked Boys don’t waste any time and give a crucial update on John’s elevator situation with some new information that might blow the case wide open.

Jake Flores (comedian, Pod Damn America) spins the wheel of comedy blocks he has and lands on Jen Kirkman, who we find out even blocked one of our listeners for just tweeting “Russia” at her. The Blocked Boys then get riled up talking about dog poop in John’s elevator, fast food breakfast, Dina Hashem’s joke (we love it), Belle Delphine’s Pornhub grift, and Stefan gives us an update on John Delaney.

Dave Shumka (Stop Podcasting Yourself, This Sounds Serious) shows some dedication to the show, reviving his SPY Twitter exchange with crappy restaurant The Captain's Boil in an effort to be blocked for the show. That doesn't work, but a surprise post-show leads Dave to commit his first-ever block.

Mon, 15 Jul 2019 07:17:00 -0000

Karen Geier (writer, On Belief podcast) proves to be a dream guest as she's blocked by a long-time nemesis of the podcast, Ed Krassenstein, who follows up blocking her with a weird series of emails that do nothing to dispel the Krassenbrothers' creepy vibe. The Blocked Boys also get their shots in on Candy Crush: The Game Show, Chuck Wendig's horrible tweet, video game documentaries, the U.S. Women's Soccer team, and we end the show with the most Canadian Top 3 yet.

Mon, 08 Jul 2019 09:09:00 -0000

Dave Harris (comedian, Beer Me) uses the threat of a block to win back an ex-girlfriend (and it works! Sort of). Elsewhere, the Blocked Boys continue on their crusade to be the first show ever with multiple hosts that refuse to use the term co-host with middling results, and they reminisce on childhood skin mags. The three men also go in on Baby Shark, the Honor and Respect shoes, the family game where a dog pisses in your kid's face, and Stefan becomes an olive guy.

Mon, 17 Jun 2019 06:28:00 -0000

Hunter Collins (comedian) brings a hidden identity with him to the podcast, as the threat of actual legal action makes this Block Tale so juicy we can't reveal exactly who he was blocked by. But it's a wild story and easily our best Blocked Tale yet.
