Blocked Party

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!   Molly McAleer is a podcaster who hosts two podcasts, Trend Lightly and Mother, May I Sleep With Podcast?, both of which can be found wherever you get your pods.

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.

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. Plus, we have an awesome contest running right now where we are giving away ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS in support of WAVAW Rape Crisis Centre here in Vancouver.

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.   One thing there's no debate about is the great bonus content over at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR great bonus episodes every single month. This week, we will have the video from our live all-Cameo bonus episode with Nick Ciarelli and Bradford Evans, and we have a ton of great episodes from Sweeps Month right there for you as well, including our latest Trivia Party with our good pals, The Doughboys.

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.   If you want a very cheap lesson in bonus episode podcasting, you can head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every month. Last week, the BBs were joined by Graham and Dave from Stop Podcasting Yourself, and this week, it's the long-awaited Trivia Party with The Doughboys!

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.   If you want to be sweet for more than just Valentine's Day, you can head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every month. This month is Sweeps Month, where we have special DUO bonus episodes all month long.

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. We have many donation options available, including yearly subcriptions, a newsletter tier where you get 5 newsletters a month from us and some amazing guest freelancers, and our most popular tier, the $5/month tier, where we release FOUR bonus episodes every month, and you get them all.

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.

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. This week, we are releasing a brand-new Hell Block, as Gavin Matts joins us to discuss Stefan getting blocked by Chris James, and the BP Live! with Street Fight is up as well. PLUS!!!! BP Sweeps Month is just ONE WEEK AWAY, as all February we are going to have huge guests, including the just-announced Trivia Party with The Doughboys.

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. PLUS!! We have Blocked Party Sweeps Month coming up in February, where we have some amazing bonus content planned you won't wanna miss!    Darcy Michael is a comedian and podcaster whose newest podcast project, "High School Sucked", is launching in February.
