Blocked Party

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. Head on over to our Patreon now and get signed up so you don't miss a thing!   Racquel Belmonte is an improviser and sketch comedian in Vancouver, who can be seen performing with Nasty Women and Carmelahhh. She is also a voice actor who can be heard in the Netflix series The Dragon Prince, and can be followed on Twitter at @RaqAttack5 or on Instagram at @RacqCity5. Learn more about your ad choices.

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. We'll have our live BPTV episode with derek and dril up this week, and we also have a sweet newsletter that's now going out 5 times a month. There's lots happening and we're adding to it all the time, so check it out, you won't be disappointed.   Tony Boswell is the co-host of the podcast Minion Death Cult, and he can be found on Twitter at @wordisbond.

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. We just posted a bonus episode with Kath Barbadoro where John gets blocked by a Minor League baseball team, and we've got a super special, multiple-episode feature launching at the end of August you won't wanna miss. PLUS, we have just gotten started in our new venture to get freelance writers paid, as we've got Guest Newsletters on our Patreon in addition to ones written by John and Stefan. It's $4/month just for newsletters (5 per month!), $5 just for bonus episodes (3 per month!), or $8 for both! It's fun for the whole family and we've got tons of great content planned for the coming months, so join us, won't you?   Libby Watson is a writer for The New Republic and she can followed on Twitter at @libbycwatson and her cat can be followed on Instagram at @digbymustache.

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. Plus! out this week, Kath Barbadoro returns for a special edition of Cullen the Herd.

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. Access to our super-secret, super-awesome Discord server. And our undying love. Hell, you could donate $8 and get the bonus episodes PLUS our newsletters, which are going to go up to FIVE editions per month in August as we start our new feature: The Guest Letter, where we get some of our favourite freelance friends to write for us. Becca, John's girlfriend, made her Guest Letter debut this past week and it was fantastic.   We've also got our most recent Hell Block with fan fave Adam Christie live now, and if going Cameo on main wasn't enough for you, we've got another all-Cameo bonus episode coming out this week with the sweet boys Brandon Wardell and Jack Wagner from the Yeah, But Still podcast. It's been a great month, and we have even more good stuff planned for August, so head on over to Patreon right now and subscribe.   Katherine Krueger is the features editor at Elle.com and she is currently working and writing with the former Splinter crew over at discourse.blog, a lefty newsletter about news and culture.

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. John finally ate his Big Mac this month and we filmed it, Michael Hale and Jesse Farrar from YKS joined us for a mailbag, and we're introducing some brand-new bonus content: The Guest Letter! Previously, $4/month got you newsletters from Stefan and John and $8/month got you those newsletters plus the bonus episodes. But we decided it wasn't enough! Starting in August, for those same donation tiers, you'll also get newsletters written by guests! Some will be high-profile writers, others will be budding writers from our own community, it's gonna be great. Start your morning with a BP Newsletter, why don't you? Plus we still have two great audio bonuses coming in July, including a Hell Block with fan fave Adam Christie coming this week! It's all here!

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!   Ginny Hogan is an author and a comedian whose book, Toxic Femininity in the Workplace, is out now.

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. We've also got a Cameo episode with some very special guests coming up this month, as well as a mailbag and some other fun stuff! So head on over to our Patreon, as that $5 also unlocks our awesome and super fun Discord and all of our previous bonus content. It's a wild deal.   Ike Barinholtz is an actor whose latest movie, The Hunt, is streaming on-demand now. He can be found on Twitter at @IkeBarinholtz. Learn more about your ad choices.

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! Stefan has a busy week online with the Parler app and John introduces the show to Cheese Wife.   If you want to have a busy week online, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE shiny bonus episodes every single month. We just released our live show with Cait Raft where we review the Canadian TV show Whistler, we did a Cameo episode earlier this month with Emma Wong, and coming up very soon: John eats his first-ever Big Mac and films a review of it, Peep This Out-style. You won't wanna miss it.   Brandon Ash-Mohammed can be found on Twitter at @BAMComedy1 and his brand-new album, Capricornication, can be found online at https://howlandroarrecords.com/brandon-ash-mohammed, where all profits go to BLM and queer charities in Toronto.

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.
