Episode 269: Beth McColl v. Joyce Carol Oates
Jan 15, 202401:28:06Tap to summarizeBeth McColl (writer) returns to the program to discuss how she got blocked by one of Twitter's renowned weirdos, author Joyce Carol Oates, but for not really doing anything weird or offensive. She just faved a partly disparaging tweet reply! That's it! Sad that she has to miss out on disgusting keyboards and deranged foot pics, but here we are. After John messes up the intro, we get into a great episode as we discuss Jackson Galaxy, Cat Bin Lady, John's upcoming trip to London, we finally introduce the $100 Club perks for 2024, and Beth tells us about being THAT girl at a wedding. Plus, Beth falls in love with the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid and the recent incident there, Stefan gets us deep into some bog talk, and we discuss Jo Koy throwing his writers under the bus at the Golden Globes. If you want to pull us out from under the bus, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month.

Jan 8, 202401:25:44Tap to summarizeKatie Burrell (comedian/actor) joins the show for the first time for a double dip of Block Tales, as she sets out to make a video for two ski brands and neither of them like it. Don't worry, it's 100% the brands' fault, and Katie gets into it here as she teaches us a lot about skiing on this one. We discuss Katie's history with stand-up comedy and skiing and how that led her into becoming the world's foremost "Leisure Athlete", awkward high school reading aloud experiences, the worst things we've eaten, and bombing down black diamonds. Plus, Katie describes trying to promote her debut feature film, Stefan plays us a clip from Reacher, and John runs into a heartwarming "Old Twitter"-style moment over on his timeline.

Novak, who is buoyed by Racquel Belmonte's recent Block Tale about being blocked by a therapist to discuss how K.C. was blocked by her therapist as well. It was time. It's a Cincinnati Christmas on this episode as K.C. tells us all about the traditions of her hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, as she heads back there for Christmas, and we get into the chili, the ice cream, and the goetta (?) of it all. We also talk egg bags, holiday plans, and hockey. Plus, K.C. DMs the host of a Vanderpump Rules podcast, people get very weird about outdoor cats, and we look back on a year of horrendous Elon Musk jokes.

Transcribe →Episode 265: Libby Watson v. A Donut
Dec 18, 202301:20:54Tap to summarizeLucky us! When a guest had to cancel 20 minutes before recording due to a sudden illness, we couldn't have asked for a better last-minute replacement, as our good friend and one of our faves Libby Watson (writer/streamer) stepped up and answered the call. And what a call it is, as Libby regales us of the time some power-hungry loser at TwitchCon tried to prevent her from eating a donut 3 minutes early. We also talk about knife sharpening, farmer's markets, and onion goggles, before going heavy on Christmas talk as we discuss our favourite ornaments, Christmas memories, and Christmas carols. Plus, Libby finds a harrowing Christmas Yoda at Home Depot, Yoda plays Lethal Company, and Twitter got a new main character this week and he absolutely rocks.

Transcribe →Episode 264: Dead Blossom Jesse v. A Stranger
Dec 11, 202301:26:19Tap to summarizeDead Blossom Jesse (Twitch streamer) joins the show for the first time to promise us that they don't generally engage with strangers online, but they couldn't resist in this one instance (just the one) and go WAY down the rabbit-hole of convincing this stranger that they have a medical condition and he shouldn't be trifling with DBJ. We do a lot of trifling with DBJ on this episode though, as we ponder what would happen if John died, lancing boils, smashing pennies, smoking an entire pack of cigarettes at once, which Shakespeare characters we would be, and we try to find a new impression for Stefan. Plus, DBJ is getting really into GameDev Twitter, Elon and IMC lie about their enjoyment of the Grand Theft Auto series, and John finds a POD Kast comment on Reddit underneath a headline you would never imagine devolving into POD Kast discussion.

Transcribe →Episode 263: Racquel Belmonte v. Her Therapist
Dec 4, 202301:21:49Tap to summarizeRacquel Belmonte (comedian) is back for her first regular episode in nearly 1.5 years, and it's no time too soon as we learn the story of how she finds a therapist after being diagnosed with ADHD, and things don't really work out. As you might remember, the last time Racquel was on the podcast, she was single, and now...she is married! We run through her whirlwind courtship, engagement, and recent small wedding to an old friend who is now her husband! It's a wonderful tale with lots of laughs. And speaking of weddings, this is the first recording since Stefan got back from Tom and Demi's wedding in Australia, so we get the low-down on their wild ceremony, seeing koalas, Hungry Jack's, and we learn the wild backstory behind the whole "a dingo ate my baby!" thing.

Transcribe →Episode 262: Michael Balazo v. Graham Linehan
Nov 27, 202301:24:54Tap to summarizeMichael Balazo (comedian, Evil Men) returns to the show for a block that may not be surprising in nature given the person in question, but it might be surprising that Michael displays a great amount of valiance and support for a loved one after Graham and his followers chase after her in a weird way online. This episode displays a great amount of valiance as well, as we discuss fighting each other, Grey Cup halftime shows, betting on Green Day, shaving in public, weird hockey teammates, and Stefan prepares to fly to Australia. Plus, Michael has a tweet go viral that gets us talking Benny Hill, Stefan deletes his Twitter account, and John sees a Twitter joke that is so rooted in Twitter's old days that it gets us nostalgic. If you want to get nostalgic for the early days of this podcast, supporting the show over at patreon.com/blockedparty for $5/month will get you access to our ENTIRE back catalogue of bonus episodes! That's over 100! Wowee! Plus, we're still releasing three new ones every damn month!

Transcribe →Episode 261: Gavin Matts v. O.J. Simpson
Nov 20, 202301:18:02Tap to summarizeGavin Matts (comedian) returns to the show and catches a block that realistically we should all aspire to catch: he gets blocked by O.J. Simpson. You remember, the football player who also did some other stuff. It was a COVID-era block but Gavin doesn't catch it for a reason you'd think, but rather for a well-timed joke. And there are lots of well-timed jokes on this episode as discussion of bodegas leads us down a strange rabbit hole into the world of pitbull breeding and the very strange posters that accompany said breeding. We also chat about the YouTube comments on Gavin's new special, speaking Italian, and we revisit the classic "dog condoms" bit. Plus, we learn a lot about the Pixel Fold: Hip Hop 50th Anniversary Edition, Ludacris' stage name, and Stefan shows us a dog that poops on a window, because of course he does. If you want more of Stefan's hilarious hijinks, head on over to our Patreon page and donate to the show! Support your favorite fellas! $5/month at patreon.com/blockedparty gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every month. Last week, Adam Christie joined us for a Cullen the Herd episode where John talks about a Curling Twitter block, and this week, Charlie Demers returns to the show for a delightful mailbag.

Transcribe →Episode 260: Alistair Ogden v. A Neighborhood Sign Guy
Nov 13, 202301:24:50Tap to summarizeAlistair Ogden (comedian) returns to the show to take us on a journey into the psyche of one man, who posts numerous signs around his neighborhood looking for engagement from locals, from offering manicures and pedicures with no studio to needing help with Microsoft Excel. We learn probably more than we would want to, but it's fascinating. Also on the episode we are fascinated by Alistair going viral for pissing off small town Alberta, the Nerds candy universe (Rope/Dweebs/Punkies), old-school Halloween candies, and talk of beans leads to discussing our favorite Mr. Bean memories. Plus, Alistair introduces us to his TikTok comments section, Bob Hoskins talks about playing Super Mario, and the Bored Apes people blind a bunch of their fans. If you want to be blinded by the sheer amount of bonus content we have available, then head over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. This week, fan fave Adam Christie joins the show for a Cullen the Herd episode, and later this month, BPD&D 3 with db and Jesse continues onward.
