Latest Episodes:

Episode 105: Gina Harms v. A Comedian Nov 23, 2020

Show notes

Gina Harms (comedian, Dear Pop Culture) joins the show for some more local comedy scene drama, as we get the scoop on open mic "hierarchy" and the entitlement of room-runners in a baffling and childish Block Tale. It's also a big episode this week for the Blocked Boys, as Stefan finally creates an Instagram account for his cat and John finally gives everyone what they want and proposes to Becca. Amidst stories of engagement, both in the very real, betrothed sense, and in the fake, online sense, we talk about proposing at ballparks, chaos meals, Princess Diana nostalgia, Stefan's mustache, and the Blocked Boys receive one of the weirdest pitches of all-time.

If you want to receive more weirdness, you can head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes and ONE live episode every single month. This past week, we put out the third instalment of our beloved Trivia Party series with Chris James and Christine Bortolin, and this week ahead, you get the epic conclusion of our D&D adventure with Jamie Loftus and Branson Reese, a tale for the ages. Your donation also gets you access to our entire bonus episode back catalogue, an invitation to our very nice and cool Discord server, and our undying love. We've got plenty of new, fun stuff all the time, so be sure to check it out.

Gina Harms is a comedian from Vancouver, BC and she just launched a podcast about nostalgia and pop culture called Dear Pop Culture, which you can find on Instagram at @DearestPopCulture and wherever you get your podcasts. You can follow her on Twitter at @GinaHarms.

Episode 104: Arian Foster v. Jerry Rice Nov 16, 2020

Show notes

Arian Foster (former NFL All-Pro running back, current Twitch/YouTube streamer and hip-hop artist) joins the show to let us know what can happen when you criticize an NFL legend on Twitter, even if you're an NFL All-Pro yourself. The episode discussion gets serious for a minute when we get into Arian's post-NFL career, as we chat about sitting down and talking to people you fundamentally disagree with, how giving pep talks changes with age, and the weirdness of being a philosophy major in the NFL. But as usual, the Blocked Boys also find time to mess around as we talk Valorant, e-Sports, Tito Ortiz, the Voter Fraud Hotline, fantasy football, Toy Story, and Arian's new life as a Dungeons & Dragons player.

If you need some more pep talks from the Blocked Boys, you can go to https://patreon.com/blockedparty and donate to the show. $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes and ONE live show every single month. This week, we'll be dropping Trivia Party 3 with two excellent guests and we just released a fantastic mailbag with fan favourite Grace Spelman. And speaking of Dungeons & Dragons, the exciting conclusion of our D&D series with Jamie Loftus and Branson Reese comes this month, as we see if we can manage to recover the sneakers in time to save Eddie Fastlane's life. It's all there, plus our entire back catalogue, newsletters, and a wonderful Discord, so check it out!

Arian Foster raps under the name Bobby Feeno and his latest, "A Late February", is available everywhere you get your music. He can be found on Twitch at https://twitch.tv/bobbyfeeno and on YouTube at https://youtube.com/bobbyfeeno. He's also on Twitter at @ArianFoster.

Episode 103: Brendan James v. Steven Crowder Nov 09, 2020

Show notes

Brendan James (Blowback podcast) joins the show for another pile-on for conservative "comedian" and all-around numbskull Steven Crowder. This Block Tale goes deep into the early origins of Crowder's success and Brendan teaches us that sometimes, dunking on a conservative can have some unfortunate consequences. The rest of the episode is not unfortunate at all, as the Blocked Boys go in on quarantine hairstyles, video games, the Voter Fraud hotline, the whole Four Seasons thing, our favorite memories of Alex Trebek, and Becca buys John a birthday Cameo.

If you want to give yourself (and us) a present, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to three bonus episodes, one live episode, and our Discord. And that's not total, that's every month! An unbelievable deal that you won't want to miss, especially this month where we have a fantastic listener mailbag episode with Grace Spelman coming up this week, the conclusion to our excellent D&D series, and the return of TRIVIA PARTY with some very special guests. Plus you get access to our entire back catalogue of bonus episodes that totals over 50 and you can forget about the world for a minute, or thousands.

Brendan James is the co-host and producer of the Blowback podcast, a look back at the United States' relationship with Iraq, which just wrapped up its first season and is available wherever you get your pods. He can be followed on Twitter at @deep_beige.

Episode 102: Carla Mah v. Men on the Internet Nov 02, 2020

Show notes

Carla Mah (improviser) joins us to talk about the unique and strange experience of being an Asian woman online, and how it leads to many blocks, almost all for the same reason. It's a spooky episode as we recorded mere hours from Halloween and we get into the once-in-73 years full moon on Halloween, and the rare "blue moon" phenomenon as well. The BBs are clearly affected by this blue moon, as John and Stefan get particularly feisty a few times this episode as we argue about fistfight strategies, movies, and Halloween candy. We also find time to go in on cheese fountains, Tyra Banks, Kim Kardashian, and Stefan gets John a birthday present.

If you want to give yourself a present, you can donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. We just posted the third episode of Blocked Party D&D, where Jamie Loftus and Branson Reese join us on a wild adventure, and it gets hairy this month as we finally get into some combat. We also did a fun look back at our first 100 episodes of the show, and drank the dreaded Canada Juice. Plus, you'll get our whole back catalogue, access to our Discord, AND access to our live shows. So don't hesitate to get in on this sweet action!

Episode 101: Mack Gordon v. Blues Traveler Oct 26, 2020

Show notes

It took 101 episodes, but Mack Gordon (actor) helps us get to one of the most notorious name-searchers on all of the Twitter [dot] com (who will absolutely block us once he finds this episode title), John Popper of Blues Traveler. He's such an easy block to catch that we have multiple Listener Blocks this week too! It's a 3-for-1! And it's all downhill from here as we contemplate life after episode 100 and it leads to a lot of memories of childhood food, as Mack reveals the weird foods he ate as a kid amidst tales of local haunts we loved and the "pey wet" viral video. Finally, the Blocked Boys also find some time to get into the death of Quibi, Stefan gets a new phone and some new soccer jerseys, and John leans into a week of Miley Cyrus takes.

If you want some new stuff too, you can head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where we are going wild for bonus content this month that you can't get anywhere else. Last week, we posted our BPTV: CanCon episode with Jesse and Mike and followed that up with the video of John and Stefan drinking the nasty Canada Juice. This week, it's a special clips episode where the Blocked Boys remember the finer moments of the first 100 episodes with a ton of new commentary from the boys themselves, and you'll enjoy episode 3 of BPD&D with Branson Reese and Jamie Loftus. You won't want to miss any of it!

Mack Gordon is an actor who splits his time between Chicago and Vancouver, and his company, Theatre in the Dark, is currently performing a radio play based on H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds. Tickets can be purchased at https://www.theatreinthedark.com. Mack can be followed on Twitter at @MackGord.

Episode 100: A Celebration! Oct 19, 2020

Show notes

We made it! We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate a century of Blocked Party episodes than by bringing a bunch of our favourite people on to PARTY (get it?) with us, and boy did we get spoiled! First things first, the Blocked Boys get absolutely jacked on the sugar-intense Canada Juice and we feel the rush with Cait Raft (comedian, Hot and Rich) as we talk about Stefan's new VR game idea and shitting his pants. Then, we're joined by Chris Locke (comedian, Happy Good) for an absolutely wild update on his life, as we learn that he was involved in a pretty crazy incident as a child that's affected him in a very surprising and positive way.

From there, it's Adam Christie (comedian) time, as we dig into our social media updates and learn how two girls' opinions on fruit snacks have converted Adam to Christianity, and John finally gets a dunk in on Stefan. And you know that we couldn't do a Block Tale without one of Twitter's finest pests, with Chris James joining us to give us the full story on how he's been blocked by Seb Gorka two different times and to give us a positive update, an "Anti-Block Tale", if you will, with Ken Marino.

And it's Episode 100, so we couldn't just leave you with a single top 3, no, we brought in two guests for two very different Top 3s. First, we're joined by Racquel Belmonte (improviser, Dragon Prince) for another of our horniest top 3s ever, and then Becca joins us to close things out with a very on-brand top 3 for the Blocked Boys, a way of reminiscing that only we could be capable of. And make sure to stay all the way to the end of the episode for a special surprise.

If you want even more special surprises, why not donate to the show in honour of 100 episodes over at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. We've been a bit late on bonus content this month, so we are releasing FOUR episodes in the next two weeks, including the making and drinking of the aforementioned Canada Juice, CanCon Live! with Jesse and Mike from YKS, our third instalment of BPD&D with Branson Reese and Jamie Loftus, AND John and Stefan are going to relive some of the show's best moments in an episode we're calling "100 Episodes, 100 Memories". We probably won't remember 100 things, because we're dumb. But anyway, support the show! We love you.

Episode 99: Maddy Kelly v. A Special Reply Guy Oct 12, 2020

Show notes

Maddy Kelly (comedian) joins the show to tell us about a very unique "reply guy" situation, where she replies back and he isn't quite sure how to handle it. Maddy offers a lot of other great advice on this episode, like how to properly manage your Instagram, how to slide into her DMs, how to go viral on TikTok, and how to order at McDonald's if you're a hot girl. Elsewhere, the Blocked Boys reveal their usual amount of knowledge (very little) as we discuss hot mascots, monocles, manicured lawns, Putt-Putt games, mayors in Korn masks, and the Poplitics girl getting diagnosed with COVID.

And hey! It's the Centennial Celebration Month here at BP, and we are celebrating our 100th episode in style, as we've got FOUR bonus episodes coming your way at https://patreon.com/blockedparty. This month, we are gonna drink that vile Canada Juice, Stefan and John are gonna reminisce about 100 episodes of the show, we're gonna have our third instalment of BPD&D, and the YKS Boys are gonna join us for a BPTV episode where we get them to take a look at a bunch of CanCon. You won't wanna miss it, and you can access it all for $5/month over on our Patreon!

And if you want some more comedy content, John's new album, "Long Stories for No Reason", is out THIS FRIDAY! October 16th. Mark your calendars, it's gonna be a good time and it'll be available everywhere you get your music and comedy.

Episode 98: Cole Hersch v. Tobey Maguire Oct 05, 2020

Show notes

Cole Hersch (writer, Podcast But Outside) joins the show with one of the earliest-in-life Block Tales we've had, as he got blocked by Spider-Man himself, Tobey Maguire, on AOL Instant Messenger when he was 11. It's a saga with many twists and turns and leaves us with a mystery that will need some experts to solve. The rest of the show leaves no mystery though, as the Blocked Boys are eager to shake off their good behaviour from last week and it gets wild early and often. The BBs start with some more Shark Tank/Dragons Den talk as Stefan pitches a new hangover cure and Cole pitches a new version of the show entirely, and that leads to a discussion of new condoms for different body parts. Cole then tells us the story of how he went viral pitching a new mascot to Saddleback College, John gets introduced to a cursed TikTok, and Stefan's social media update gets so intense it leads to a very special surprise at the end of the episode you won't wanna miss.

If you want more fun surprises, you can head on over to https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. Of course, this is the Blocked Party Centennial Celebration Month and we are going all out. John and Stefan are going to finally make and drink the cursed Canada Juice, we are going to have Jesse and Mike on for a LIVE BPTV episode with exclusively Can(adian)Con(tent), and our D&D series with Branson Reese and Jamie Loftus continues! We have some other fun surprises planned for the month you won't wanna miss so check it out!

And hey, John's new full-length comedy album, "Long Stories for No Reason" is out next Friday, October 16th on Comedy Records. Look for it on Spotify, Apple Music, or anywhere else you get your music.

Episode 97: Jemele Hill v. Travis Tritt Sep 28, 2020

Show notes

Who knew the Kentucky Derby VIP section could be a source of consternation? We learn just how, as Jemele Hill (The Atlantic, Jemele Hill is Unbothered) tells us the story of her positive meeting with country star Travis Tritt over mint juleps and how it didn't seem to matter to him later on, as he blocked Jemele for having opposing political views (we think). Speaking of politics, this episode doesn't shy away, as we get into what the mentions of someone with 1.3 million followers looks like, how Trump's divisiveness has affected social media, and how the goalposts for how a President should act are constantly shifting. But hey, we're the Blocked Boys and we also find time for silly stuff like Doritos, 2009 Twitter, old class photos, and we dig into Vancouver's Da Vinky Twins.

If you want to dig into some more Vancouver content, you can do so by donating to Vancouver's own at http://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. This month was a doozy as we released the second edition of BP D&D with Jamie Loftus and Branson Reese, we did another all-Cameo bonus episode with Taylor Lorenz, and a great mailbag with Lydia Burrell. Plus, we've got our Centennial Celebration coming up next month with tons of sweet bonus goodies coming your way, so don't delay! You'll also get access to our entire back catalogue and our super sweet Discord server, one of the best deals in podcasting, baby!

Jemele Hill is a writer and TV personality who currently contributes to The Atlantic and hosts a Spotify-exclusive podcast, "Jemele Hill is Unbothered". Her new show, "Cari & Jemele Stick To Sports" is now airing on VICE TV on Wednesdays at 10 pm, and she can be followed on Twitter at @JemeleHill.

Episode 96: Sarah Ramos & Caroline Goldfarb v. Jonathan "Foodgod" Cheban Sep 21, 2020

Show notes

It's only the second time ever that the BP Studios have been graced with two guests on one main episode, but it's a special occasion as we have Sarah Ramos (actor, filmmaker) and Caroline Goldfarb (comedian, writer) join us to tell us all about their new show, The Renner Files, and their block by the man who is famous for being friends with Kim Kardashian. It's a shameless Block Tale that will go down in the annals of show history as one of the best, and this episode is one of the best too, an "all-timer" in Stefan's words, as the Blocked Boys talk Peep This Out facemasks, getting old, and we learn more about how Stefan ended Jeremy Renner's vanity app. Plus, we get into the very upsetting RBG tributes, fizzy drinks, wet eggs in a bag, and Becca gets her very own theme song.

Speaking of theme songs, our bonus episodes have some pretty amazing ones, and you can hear them (and the episodes) at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. Last week, we released our latest edition of Word Up! with Taylor Lorenz, where we delve into the world of TikTok Cameos, and this week, we have the continuation of our BPD&D series, as Branson Reese and Jamie Loftus join us for a wonderful adventure in a mythical city. Plus, that $5 gets you access to our top-secret Discord server, all of our back catalogue of bonus episodes, and celebrations next month for our 100th episode that you won't wanna miss.

Sarah Ramos is an actor and filmmaker who can be followed on Twitter at @SarahRamos and on Instagram at @SarahERamos. Caroline Goldfarb is a comedian and writer who you can find on Twitter at @hairoline and on Instagram at @OfficialSeanPenn. Together, they host The Renner Files, a six-part podcast about the Jeremy Renner app that launches this Thursday, September 24th.
