Blocked Party - Stefan Heck & John Cullen

Latest Episodes:

Episode 56: Taz VanRassel v. His Dad's Friend Dec 16, 2019

Show notes

Taz VanRassel (improviser, The Sunday Service) picks up a block in a surprising place: from a senior citizen! We didn't even know they knew how to block, but an ironic swear word in a Facebook post does the trick as Taz's dad gets served with a paragraph-long explanation for the block. The Blocked Boys also learn from Taz what it's like to go on a tour of elementary schools doing improv while also hitting on vapes, kombucha, gym class, bears, police poetry, and we run through the most wholesome top 3 ever: houseplants.

If you want some more wholesome content, you can get it by donating $5/month at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where your five dollars gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month! This month, we are going wild with an all-Cameo bonus episode, a brand-new bonus episode format where we play trivia with our good friend Michael Hale (Your Kickstarter Sucks), and Stefan and John answer listener questions in a new mailbag, which will be out this week. We also have newsletters and other fun stuff, and if you donate $50 lifetime, we'll send you a free shirt! We're cool like that. Come be cool like us.

Episode 55: Jamie Loftus v. Mensa Dec 09, 2019

Show notes

Jamie Loftus (writer, Bechdel Cast) returns to give us a sneak peek of her new show, "My Year in Mensa", by detailing the time she went to a Mensa thing called "Nerd Camp" and got blocked from a very weird alt-right Mensa Facebook group as a result. It is both one of the most detailed and insane Block Tales to ever be told on the show. And the goodness this week does NOT stop there, as Stefan details his couple of days where he pretended to get a Baby Yoda Tattoo, dragging John and a bunch of our listeners along with him in a crusade against the man who couldn't understand irony. The Blocked Boys also hear from the kid who called Doug Ford a timbit, the totally bonkers Christmas movie Jack Frost, and Jamie helps us revisit one of the most beloved top 3s of all-time.

TW: This episode contains discussion (albeit light-hearted) of stillbirth and miscarriages from 27:05 to 36:19.

If you want be beloved, you can do so by donating $5/month to the BBs at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where that donation gets you THREE bonus episodes every month. This month, we've brought back listener favorite Ivan Decker to look at some insane celebrity Cameos with us, and this week, we will be debuting a BRAND NEW bonus episode format: Trivia Party! That's right, the boys get challenged by a $100 donor to a trivia contest, and they bring along another fan favorite, Michael Hale, to play a rousing game of trivia with them. The results are predictable in their unpredictability, and it's a blast. We've got a ton of great bonus episodes in the back catalogue too, and they're all yours with a donation, so let's make it happen and we can all understand irony together.

Episode 54: Olivia Stadler v. Chris D'Elia Dec 02, 2019

Show notes

Olivia Stadler (comedian) teaches Chris D'Elia (and us) a valuable lesson: just because you're famous doesn't mean you can slide into the DMs clumsily. An attempted meet-up ends with the two never meeting and Chris footing Olivia's hotel bar bill in a wonderful Block Tale. Elsewhere, John gives Stefan and Olivia a diagrammed lesson about the sport of curling (which also leads to talk about his vaguely athletic body), Olivia prods Kendall Jenner to come out, Stefan talks about ball lightning (it's not what you think), and John gets some comments on his Entourage podcast guest appearance that are exactly what you'd expect.

For other things you'd expect (mostly stupid), you can also donate to the show at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5 a month will get you access to THREE shiny bonus episodes every single month. Our esteemed series where we break down celebrity Cameos (as featured on A.V. Club) returns this week with special guest Ivan Decker, and there's tons of great content from John's first time smoking weed and our first tour of live shows from last month ready to go right now! There's literally nothing that could be better. It's a great Christmas present! So do it today!

Episode 53: Jesse Farrar v. Jessica Morales Rocketto Nov 25, 2019

Show notes

Jesse Farrar (Your Kickstarter Sucks, Go Off Kings) returns to the show, and whips up a frenzy to try and get blocked for the occasion. After firing barbs at the likes of Mark Cuban and Jonathan Chait, Jesse finally catches a block from "JMR" after her very misguided tweet about socialism and her vote. It's our longest episode ever, and quite frankly, it's deserving of the chaos, as Jesse gets Stefan a special gift to celebrate his Song of the Day, John unearths a social media update he's been waiting 3 months to reveal, and Jesse and Stefan have a Social Media Update surprise for John. In addition to all that, the Blocked Boys go in on the worst team at their first trivia night, the worst game show we've ever heard of (Geeks Who Drink), and chicken wings.

If this insane episode inspires you as much as it does us, you may want even more of the insanity at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE wonderful bonus episodes every month. This month, we celebrated our 1-Year Anniversary with a ton of content, including live audio from our first-ever live show, and the video/audio episodes where John, a 34 year-old man, smokes weed for the first time. Chris James and Joshua Custodio join us, and it's a heck of a time. We have a ton of great stuff planned for December as well, so make it a holiday occasion and hop on the BP train. And remember: once you donate $50 to the show lifetime, you get a free shirt. It never stops being this good.

Episode 52: Chris Locke v. Gary Gulman Nov 18, 2019

Show notes

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.

Episode 51: Becca Lewis v. Internet Trolls Nov 11, 2019

Show notes

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.

Episode 50: Nick Nemeroff v. Comedy Central Commenters Nov 04, 2019

Show notes

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.

Episode 49: Chris Griffin v. A Girl He Met After a Show Oct 28, 2019

Show notes

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.

Episode 48: K.C. Novak v. A Booty Call Oct 21, 2019

Show notes

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.

Episode 47: Sam Seder v. Dave Rubin Oct 14, 2019

Show notes

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.
