Episode 170: Michael Hale v. Bowling for Soup

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. Plus we've got merch discounts, a great Discord, and more, so head on over to Patreon to support the beautiful Blocked Boys.

Michael Hale is a podcaster with Jesse Farrar, and together they host Your Kickstarter Sucks, a weekly rundown of the worst Kickstarter has to offer. He can be found on Twitter at @dogboner.
