Blocked Party

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.If you want free beer**, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month!

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.

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.

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?

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.If you want to visit the first-ever good Patreon and support the first-ever good podcast, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every damn month.

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.If you want something you'll never delete off of your phone, join the BP Patreon today!

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.If you want John and Stefan's rhythm to be glad, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every damn month.

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!".

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.If you want to add more podcasting to YOUR insane diet, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every damn month. Last week, Jacob Balshin returned to answer YOUR listener questions in a mailbag episode, and this week, we return to "...And Just Like That", as we come up with a plan to only watch the S2 season premiere and season finale.

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.If you want to go batshit crazy, consider signing up for even more of our insane content over at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every damn month! Last week, Chris James joined us for a controversial bonus hangout episode where Stefan promised him that it was a main ep. But it wasn't. We discuss that and have a lot of laughs and you'll love it.
