Episode 287: Audrey Brehm v. DJ Nice [AD-FREE]

Audrey Brehm (Radio Free Tote Bag) joins us for the first time to discuss how she got blocked after a Facebook comments exchange with an EDM DJ about wage inequality. 2012 was simply a different time. We have hell of a time on this episode though, as we discuss our grandparents, working retail, our tortured fandom for the Leafs and Canucks, and Star Wars miniature tournaments. Plus, we talk about c*nty outfits, Michael Cohen talks that talk in court, and former NBA player Glen "Big Ba...

Actor Party 3: The Dumb Waiter w/ Mark Chavez [VIDEO]

Mark Chavez (actor/comedian) joins us on our quest to become better actors by introducing us to The Dumb Waiter by Harold Pinter. He forces us to put on British accents, and that goes about as well as you'd expect, and a mid-script role change unlocks big performances from both of us.

Episode 286: Myles Anderson v. Tony Robbins [AD-FREE]

Myles Anderson (comedian) returns to the show after a 5-year layoff (our fault) to show us what happens when you talk about Tony Robbins on your YouTube channel that analyzes stand-up comedians. Hint: it's not good! We get into a lot of knife talk on the pod, as Myles gets stopped by airport security and we remember some our fondest memories with knives. We also discuss some of our favorite early Flash games, Leisure Suit Larry, BMX XXX, Dan introduces us to Stroker for the Commodore ...

Episode 285: Mike Rugnetta v. Trump Merch

Mike Rugnetta (podcaster) joins the show for the first time to tell us about the weirdly specific subset of products that his Twitter feed is currently being dominated by: Donald Trump merch. We go over the entire insane product line, and update Mike on the dumb Twitter ads we are getting up here in Canada. It's a big week over on Bluesky, as they've added gifs, and we discuss Taco Bell, the Filet O'Fish, Long John Silver's, the Scorpion Bar at Foxboro Stadium, and we listen in to wha...

The Canadian Education Programme for Foreign Podcasters 20: Video and Arcade Top 10 w/ Pat Gill

Pat Gill (Polygon, Pizza Suplex) joins us for a Canadian video gaming institution: Video and Arcade Top 10. Featuring children playing the latest and greatest in Nintendo games, we take a look at two episodes of this classic YTV show that ran for 15 years and produced one of Canada's finest talents, Nicholas Picholas. The show is much more chaotic than we remember, seemingly filmed live-to-tape with tons of mistakes, barely clinging to an episode structure, and we fondly remember LaserDiscs.<...

Episode 284: Maddy Kelly v. Stand-Up Haters [AD-FREE]

Maddy Kelly (comedian/writer) returns to the show to discuss her newest hobby: finding people who reply weirdly or negatively to women who do stand-up online, and telling them to f off. It's working well, and she's getting blocked. It's a snack-heavy episode as Maddy has moved back to LA and pines for the days of Canadian junk food. We also discuss In-n-Out, potato chip rotations, burger tourism, and first dates. Plus, Maddy is only logging onto Instagram from her desktop, Stefan hits...

Episode 283: Erin Wood v. Mr. Clean [AD-FREE]

My sincere apologies for getting this one up late. Was juggling some things last night and completely forgot. Enjoy.

Erin Wood (comedian) joins the show to tell us about getting banned from the Facebook group of Mr. Clean...for telling "him" about a dream she had? Involving him? Shirtless? It's a good time. And so is the episode, as we discuss our word games habit, John doing the new lamest thing he's ever done, our teenage party experiences, cartoons, and Erin takes umbrage wit...

Word Up! 20: The Nick Diaz Cameos w/ Gianmarco Soresi [VIDEO]

Gianmarco Soresi (comedian) returns for a new Cameo episode in which we discover Cameo's newest superstar (and by that, we mean worst person on the app), former UFC fighter Nick Diaz! With a rating of 3.3, an average Cameo length of 12 seconds and a cost of $200, Nick is setting a new bar. We also revisit some of our favourite adult film stars, Stefan finds some more impersonators, and we find an Aussie Rules Football star who is unintelligible (in a good way).

Episode 281: Donovan Eyre v. John McAfee [AD-FREE]

Yes, that John McAfee. Donovan Eyre (Radio-Free Tote Bag) joins the show to tell us about weirdly getting the late John McAfee on their podcast (before he died, obv), getting the follow, and then getting unfollowed after his passing. It's a strange sequence of events, and we break it all down here. We also break down CBD seltzers, the A&W Burger Family, Hawkins Cheezies, and Stefan and John make a horrible pitch: Canada Juice II. Plus, Dono's algorithm is full of dead fish, the Cy...

Episode 280: Will Sennett & Helena v. Matt Rife [AD-FREE]

It's another classic pairs episode on Blocked Party, as we just couldn't resist having the two hosts of the new hit podcast 197424 on, Will Sennett and Helena! Helena catches a block from America's favorite comedian, and we dive into his truly cringeworthy Twitter page in this memorable episode. Off the top, we immediately discuss their strange new podcast name and then Stefan pesters the two of them with more parody songs (which costs John and the show more money). We also chat about...

Heck/Cullen 3: Blake Murphy [VIDEO]

It's been a while, but Stefan and John are back with their serious interview series, Heck/Cullen, where we ask our friend and sports analyst for the Raptors and Jays, Blake Murphy, the tough questions about his career. We discuss how to make the leap from law school acceptance to blogging about basketball to a full-time career in sports radio/TV/writing, how to forge relationships with players, how to blend analytics with the eye test, and the best stadium food.

Episode 279: Becca v. A Broken Man [AD-FREE]

Becca rejoins the show for the first time since we moved to Calgary, and tells us about some very strange DMs she got about her ex that were connected to a profile that had some very weird posts about her ex. It no longer exists, but is one of the weirder blocks we've ever seen on the show. The episode gets weird too, as we reminisce on our old apartment and talk toilet seats, new video games, cycling in the snow, and chess. In the social media updates, Becca brings back a very popula...

The Canadian Education Programme for Foreign Podcasters 19: The Avro Arrow w/ Lance St. Laurent [VIDEO]

It's a dual history and television lesson for our guest Lance St. Laurent (film scholar) on the programme this time around, as we dig into the history behind one of Canada's greatest military achievements--and subsequent failures--the Avro Arrow! And shockingly, CBC's most-watched program EVER is a 4-part miniseries about it starring Dan Aykroyd in a role that he does not have the gravitas to play. But it's fun to watch.

We learned a lot. And that's not the only thing we learned a lot about on this episode, as Austin tells us about going to the gym late at night and this somehow leads to us diving WAY too deep into Steven Seagal's hist...

Blocked Bag 46: The Dumbest Answer Ever w/ Jacob Samuel

Jacob Samuel (comedian) joins us in-person to answer YOUR questions, including easily the stupidest answer we've given to a very dumb question, as we spend roughly 15 minutes discussing if the size of a person's ass affects their farts. The type of high quality content you expect from your friends at BP. We also answer questions about the horniest month, Larry David choking Elmo, the Three Stooges, cereal, sex positions, and numbers.

But we could never stay mad at Luke, as he tries his best to be a great guest despite not receiving the John email. And he succeeds, as we discuss English accents, inflatable Michael Jacksons, t...

Episode 276: Lane Moore v. Facebook Marketplace [AD-FREE]

We are back to our regularly scheduled program after Freaky February, and who better to join us than Lane Moore (author, podcaster) to discuss how she is at odds with--but also in love with--Facebook's online marketplace. There's no contention on the rest of the episode though, as we discuss podcast theme songs, the downfall of Twitter and now TikTok, Stefan's new gaming laptop, and how almost every online parody song is about COVID. Plus, girlbossing your way through mental health, Trapt get...

Episode 275: John and Stefan's Fast Track [AD-FREE]

It's the final episode of Freaky February and it's time to take the ultimate challenge: an episode of Howell Dawdy's Fast Track, where we have to write a song in 30 minutes or less. Now, we aren't the musical genius that Howell is, so we decided to write a parody song instead of an actual, "we play the instruments" song, but look...we aren't very good at that either. After canvassing people to find out what the most annoying song at karaoke is, we settled on a parody of "Sweet Caroline", a so...
