Blocked Party - Stefan Heck & John Cullen

Latest Episodes:

Episode 115: Julie Klausner v. Pauley Perrette Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

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. Trivia Party with the Doughboys. A Cameo episode with a guest so special we can't reveal it. And much, much more. If you've been on the fence about joining the Patreon, there's never been a better time. Plus, we have newsletters, annual subscriptions, a great Discord server, and tons of fun stuff happening all the time, so head on over and get swept up in Sweeps Month.

Episode 114: Nick Nemeroff v. A BP Listener Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

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. We have lots more surprises in-store, so stay tuned for what will be a big month!

Episode 113: Darcy Michael v. TikTok Jan 18, 2021

Show notes

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!

Episode 112: Josh Gondelman v. Not Cap'n America Jan 11, 2021

Show notes

Josh Gondelman (writer, comedian) joins the podcast to tell us the story of a very confusing block that only gets more confusing as we learn that all 3 of the Blocked Boys are also blocked by the very same account. But that hardly matters on this very busy week in Twitter history, as Josh gives us all the details behind #Beangate, Stefan tries all of his new mustards, and we go in on all of the business surrounding the storming of the Capitol and the President's banning from Twitter. And the moment you've been waiting 112 episodes for happens, as we finally get into some Bar Rescue talk.

If you don't wanna wait that long for more episodes, head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes and ONE live episode every month. This week, we've got a great bonus episode coming up, as we were made to watch a terrible Lifetime movie about porn addiction this week and we brought past guest and fave Libby Watson along for the ride. And our January live show is THIS FRIDAY, as we bring on the beautiful boys of Street Fight Radio to watch some Dragon's Den with us. Plus!!!

Episode 111: Allie Pearse v. A Filmmaker Ex Jan 04, 2021

Show notes

It's a new year but it's the same us, as Allie Pearse (comedian, writer) joins us for a classic Block Tale, where after she breaks up with an ex, he blocks her on everything and then makes a short film where the main character strongly resembles her and it launches his career as a filmmaker and is seen by millions. A tale as old as time. The Blocked Boys have plenty of time for other tales too, as we get into the Instagram Explore tab, childhood snacks, getting duped by a fake post, and an attempt to discuss Bean Dad turns into a much lengthier conversation about can openers. Above all that, Allie turns in a Top 3 that makes Stefan noticeably uncomfortable for the first time in the show's history, a truly special moment.

If you'd like some more special moments, head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every month. And this week, we're introducing Yearly Subscriptions, so you can get 12 months for the price of 10 and join the exclusive $100 Club, where you'll get all of our bonus content PLUS a free shirt.

It's for donors only and you won't wanna miss it!

Episode 110: The 2021 Blocked Party Enemies List Dec 28, 2020

Show notes

In the second edition of this yearly tradition, John and Stefan eschew a guest in favour of a list of enemies to set the table for the turn of the calendar. 2020 was a year full of ups and (mostly) downs, and we try to predict who will continue into 2021 with our cups full of hatred for them. Before that, the Blocked Boys talk about their Christmases, Inglehoffer Mustard, charcuterie boards, and they give you a peek behind the curtain at how they prepare guests for the show. Plus, we review our 2020 Enemies List to see how the year played out for us vs. them, a sort of "year in retrospective", Blocked Party-style. And of course, we get into the 10 Official Enemies of the Blocked Party podcast for 2021. There's some choices that will make sense but also some that will surprise as we prepare for another year of the show.

If you like surprises, we have even more in store for you over at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5 a month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every single month. This month was a doozy with a holiday mailbag featuring Santa, the return of Olivia Stadler for an all-Cameo bonus episode, and more! Plus, starting in January, we're going to be introducing yearly subscriptions, a fun way to save some money and support the BBs all year round. Stay tuned for more info on that very soon!

And finally, a sincere thank you to everyone who stuck with the podcast through a very weird and trying 2020. We know it's been a tough one but the show continued to grow and we felt your love and support all year. We love you all very much and in a lot of ways, it felt like we got through all of this together and it means just so much to us. Thanks for being with us and get excited for more great content in 2021!

Episode 109: Kofie Yeboah v. Common App Dec 21, 2020

Show notes

It's an educational episode this week, as Kofie Yeboah (Fumble Dimension, Chillin' with Kofie) lets us know exactly how NOT to apply for college, as he manages to get rejected by eight colleges at once through the American university service Common App. It's an episode that's rife with rejection, as Stefan rejects Cyberpunk 2077, John rejects his Peloton instructor, and we discuss the Australian comedian who rejected a DM slide from a guy who was really into Australia's Funniest Home Videos. The Blocked Boys also manage to find time to discuss UPN's primetime lineup, prison breaks, smoke alarms, and Christmas songs.

If you want some more joy this Christmas, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to FOUR bonus episodes every month. This week is a big one, as we'll have the video from last Friday's live show where we watched the Season One finale of Whistler with Caroline Goldfarb, and a holiday mailbag with a very special guest: Santa Claus himself! Plus you'll get the entire back catalogue of bonus episodes so if you're missing your loved ones this holiday season, you can hang out with the BBs instead. We are not an adequate replacement, but hey, we can try! Plus we've got newsletters, a fantastic Discord, and more. So check it out: it makes a lovely holiday treat.

Episode 108: James Austin Johnson v. A Former Partner Dec 14, 2020

Show notes

James Austin Johnson (comedian) joins the show by telling us before we start recording that "he doesn't have a very exciting Block Tale" and then it turns out to be one of the most personal and messy Block Tales in show history, as him and a former comedy writing partner turn on each other and lawyers get involved. It's high drama on an episode full of it, as the Blocked Boys get into windshield decals, regional dialect, quarantine weight, getting divorced, Bobby Flay, "cannibal sandwiches", and John introduces a new character to the Blocked Party Twitterverse. And to top it all off, we're joined by a very special call-in guest, who has a lot of...thoughts on things. It's our longest episode ever, and worth every minute.

If you want to listen to even more minutes that are worth it, you can head over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you FOUR bonus episodes every month, including this week's bonus, another edition of our all-Cameo bonus episodes, Word Up, featuring past guest Olivia Stadler. We get one of our craziest Cameos ever that's worth the price of admission alone. PLUS we have a great LIVE show coming up this Saturday, December 19th, as Caroline Goldfarb will be joining us for the Season 1 Finale of Whistler, Canada's primetime soap opera. A donation at any level gets you admission to the show, so join us, won't you?

Episode 107: Claire McNear v. MC Hammer Dec 07, 2020

Show notes

Claire McNear (author, The Ringer) joins us for a lesson in rookie journalism, as she gets blocked by MC Hammer for some, shall we say, unprofessional practices. Block: Hammer Time! Given Claire's new book is about Jeopardy!, the Blocked Boys take the opportunity to talk all things Jeopardy! with her, including John's Jeopardy! tweets, the show's audition process, the terrible anecdotes, and Celebrity Jeopardy!. And of course, the BBs still find time to talk their usual BS, as they get into the monoliths, #StoptheSteal, Pokémon, the apocalypse, and John tells the story about his tough day in a ninth-grade classroom this week.

If you want to forget about your tough days, you can head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you all the BP business you can handle! This week, we have the next Cullen the Herd out, as John talks about getting blocked from his own MMA group chat, and we just announced a fantastic live show coming up to celebrate the season, as Caroline Goldfarb will be joining us to watch the Whistler Season 1 finale on December 19th. Your donation also gets you access to our Discord, our entire back catalogue of episodes, and we have five newsletters we publish every month for a little extra dough. It's all there and it's all wonderful, so check it out!

Claire McNear is a staff writer for The Ringer and her book, "Answers in the Form of Questions: A Definitive History and Insider's Guide to Jeopardy!", is available wherever you get your books. She can be followed on Twitter at @ClaireMcNear.

Episode 106: Demi Adejuyigbe v. The CW Nov 30, 2020

Show notes

Demi Adejuyigbe (comedian, writer) gives us a double dose of blocks: one that makes a great deal of sense, and his feature block, The CW, which really doesn't. We help him try to get to the bottom of this baffling block as he gets blocked by an entire network that he has never interacted with once on Twitter. The rest of the episode is a bit less baffling, as the Blocked Boys go through some wild sects of the internet this week, as John attempts to buy crazytown.com and learns a whole lot about domains, a wholesome conversation about My Octopus Teacher turns into a lot of information about a lady who fell in love with a dolphin, Demi tells us about his gas station election celebration, and we figure out the true story behind how Harry Houdini died. Plus, John and Becca get a wonderful treat to celebrate their engagement from the Discord.

If you want to be a part of that marvellous Discord, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you Discord access PLUS three bonus episodes AND one live episode every single month. It's one of the best deals in podcasting. This month was huge as we wrapped up our epic BPD&D series with Jamie Loftus and Branson Reese and brought back our vaunted Trivia Party with Quizmaster Meg Walls and our good pals Chris James and Christine Bortolin. It's all there, and it's all $5! Check it out.

Demi Adejuyigbe is a comedian and writer who has written for The Good Place and The Late Late Show and is currently writing for The Amber Ruffin Show. He can be heard on the podcast mentioned in this episode, Gilmore Guys, which ran from 2014-2017. You can follow him on Twitter at @electrolemon.
