Blocked Party

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.  Learn more about your ad choices.

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. Learn more about your ad choices.

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. Learn more about your ad choices.

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.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

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.

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
