Blocked Party - Stefan Heck & John Cullen

Latest Episodes:

Episode 95: Jack Allison v. Hoarse Wisperer Sep 14, 2020

Show notes

It's here. The most requested Block Tale in the history of the show is finally here, as Jack Allison (JackAM, Struggle Session) joins the Blocked Boys to talk about the Hoarse Wisperer saga. We get all the gritty details from their initial dealings with each other to Jack finding out the anonymous centrist horse's real identity to the epic conclusion, where Jack raises $125k for Bernie Sanders under the guise of Mr. HW and then trademarks the Hoarse Wisperer title, forcing him to swap his Twitter handle. It's an online story for the ages and one built for this program, 95 episodes young. And we don't stop there, as we find time to talk about Denis Leary's Pumpkin Spice tweet, the Chris Evans mishap, John getting DMCA'ed, Jack impersonating a high school quarterback, and Stefan pays John $140 to watch a Badlands Chugs video.

If you also like paying for the content you're dying to hear, 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 a mailbag with fan fave Lydia Burrell this past week, and this week, we'll have the video from our live show with Taylor Lorenz, where she introduces us to the world of TikTok on Cameo, and it's...very bad. Plus, we've got Episode 2 of BPD&D coming up later this month, and our Centennial Celebration happens in October too! You won't wanna miss out.

Jack Allison is the host of the Twitch morning show JackAM and the podcast Struggle Session. You can follow him on Twitter at @JackAllisonLOL and on Twitch at https://twitch.tv/JackAM.

Episode 94: Brian Gaar v. Chuck Woolery Sep 07, 2020

Show notes

Brian Gaar (comedian) joins the show to talk about getting blocked by America's favorite game show host over his "pain-free catheter" line of products, and this episode delves into other pain as we chat about Producer Dan's illness. But it's not all pain and sadness as we go back in on one of our favorite targets, Frank D'Angelo, and we learn about Nick Cannon's line of headphones. Plus, the C-List celebrity dunks don't stop there, as we find time for Chet Hanks and Jim Davis amidst talk of awful Chadwick Boseman tributes and the Donald Trump boat parade.

If you want to be in a much better parade, you can join all of the greats over at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE wonderful bonus episodes every month. This week, we'll have a mailbag from our friend Lydia Burrell for you to enjoy, plus we're going live again, this time with Taylor Lorenz, as we watch some horrid celebrity Cameos. And we'll see the second episode of BPD&D, where our friends Jamie Loftus and Branson Reese join us for a game of Dungeons & Dragons. It's all happening now and you don't wanna miss out!

Episode 93: Becca v. A Married Guy Aug 31, 2020

Show notes

The time has come. A guest that has been requested for many moons (both hexed and not), John's partner Becca (writer) joins the show to get into it with the Blocked Boys about the time a married guy got aggressive with her in the DM. The BBs don't waste time getting aggressive elsewhere on the show, as the familiarity they have with Becca leads to some intimate conversations about body hair, pets, our parents, and the first time we touched ourselves. We also learn a lot about open mic comedians, John singing Alanis Morissette, and Producer Dan's infamous encounter with Vancouver's auspicious Uber Eats-only restaurant, Brick 'N' Cheese.

If you want to have an infamous encounter with us, you're very likely to do so over on our Patreon at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE exclusive bonus episodes every single month. This past week, we officially launched BPD&D, the series where Stefan and John play Dungeons and Dragons with Branson Reese, Jamie Loftus, and Joshua Buergel, with hilarious results. It's the start of a 4-month series, and if you donate today (August 31st), you'll be entered into a draw for a free BP T-Shirt. So don't miss out! The back catalogue is extensive and the bonus episodes are great. Plus, in September, Stefan and John will finally drink the cursed Canada Juice in a video bonus that will have to be seen to be believed.

Becca has written for the Blocked Party Guest Letters (found on our Patreon) and she can be followed on Twitter and Instagram at @BeckTheGirl.

PREVIEW: BPD&D Episode #1 w/ Jamie Loftus, Branson Reese, & Joshua Buergel Aug 26, 2020

Show notes

https://patreon.com/blockedparty for the full episode!

Hey everyone, thanks for listening to the show. Very cool of you to do. We promise posting Patreon previews won't turn into any sort of regular thing, but we thought we'd give you a sneak peek at our recent Patreon bonus episode release, BPD&D. It's an idea we've been percolating on for a while, and when our two great friends Jamie Loftus (Bechdel Cast, My Year in Mensa, Robot Chicken) and Branson Reese (Rude Tales of Magic) agreed to do it, it was a no-brainer for us. Luckily, one of our listeners, Joshua Buergel, is also a renowned board game designer (Fox in the Forest) who was recommended by the Spiel des Jahres and is a huge D&D fan. He offered to DM for us, and we've created something really unique and fun. This series is gonna run for the next 4 months, so donating now will ensure you get all those episodes, plus all the other sweet bonus content we provide every single month.

If you already subscribe to us on Patreon at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, thank you so much. We hope you enjoy this episode and we're sorry for clogging your podcast feed with a clip of something you already have access to. But if you don't subscribe, we'd love to have you. It's $5/month and it gets you access to three bonus episodes every month. We talk about blocks of our own, review terrible celebrity Cameos, post the video feed of our live shows, and do lots of other stupid and fun stuff. And you'll get all the D&D content you can handle. As an added bonus, if you subscribe between now and September 1st, you'll be entered into a draw to win a free BP T-Shirt! Fun all around. We hope you'll join us.

Episode 92: Racquel Belmonte v. Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Aug 24, 2020

Show notes

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.

Episode 91: Tony Boswell v. Culture Abuse Aug 17, 2020

Show notes

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.

Episode 90: Libby Watson v. Glenn Thrush Aug 10, 2020

Show notes

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?

Episode 89: Jacob Samuel v. Garfield Eats Aug 03, 2020

Show notes

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. This month, we officially launched the Guest Letters, where we pay freelancers to write newsletters for us. $4/month will get you access to a newsletter each from Stefan and John PLUS three guest newsletters, every single month. $8 will get you both the newsletters and the bonus episodes. A screamin' deal! Help us pay some freelancers who need it right now and head on over to our Patreon for tons of great content.

Episode 88: Katherine Krueger v. Jomny Sun Jul 27, 2020

Show notes

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. You can follow her on Twitter at @Kath_Krueger.

Episode 87: David J. Roth v. Donald J. Trump Jul 20, 2020

Show notes

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! Subscribe now!
