Episode 274: Dudes w/ Tony Boswell [AD-FREE]

It's Freaky February and we continue on with an episode of "Dudes", a send-off on our good friend Bryan's podcast "Guys", which is about, well, guys. This week, we have Tony Boswell (Minion Death Cult) joining us to discuss a Dude near and dear to our hearts: the Nu-Metal Dude. We dig into the weird politics around the nu-metal sub-reddit and find a treasure trove of great Ticketmaster reviews of some of your favorite nu-metal bands like Korn, Limp Bizkit, Disturbed, and Slipknot. Most of the...

Blocked Bag 45: Man Getting Hit by Tennis Ball w/ Raft [VIDEO]

Raft (comedian/writer) rejoins the show for their first-ever appearance on a mailbag, and what a mailbag it is! We accidentally re-answer a question, we discuss what state we'd like our penis to be in when it gets hit by a tennis ball, British TV, funny athletes, our best days and years, orgies, and class rings.

Episode 273: Stop Blockcasting Yourself w/ Dave Shumka [AD-FREE]

Freaky February continues as we do an episode of one of our very favourite podcasts, and in fact, the first podcast John ever listened to, Stop Podcasting Yourself! We are very pleased to be joined by one of SPY's own hosts, Dave Shumka, as we discuss "Mean Girls: The Musical", the time that Yahoo! hired Snow (yes, the Canadian white rapper Snow) to do its hold music, and John working out too hard and being unable to move for a week. Plus, we dive into your Overheards and Overseens and don't ...

Episode 272: Your Kickstarter's Blocked [AD-FREE]

It's Freaky February! For the first time ever, Blocked Party is celebrating its Sweeps Month by doing episodes of our favourite podcasts. First on the docket: Your Kickstarter Sucks. We've got all your favourite YKS segments in here from voicemails to an update on a previous Kickstarter to the famous SIX-PACK. Stefan and John break down the worst of the worst on Kickstarter, from a Christian television network/streaming service that managed $25 towards its $5.3m goal to a handheld vacuum that...

Episode 271: Amy Walsh v. Her Co-Worker's Boyfriend's Brother's Girlfriend [AD-FREE]

Amy Walsh (comedian) joins us for the first time with one of the more tangential Blocks in the show's history, as she lied on a job application about taking a holiday and really, really didn't want her boss to find out. Thankfully she's less secretive on the show as John gets some advice about his upcoming trip to her homeland of Ireland and we discuss Kevin Hart's NFT TV show (yes, that's real), poor eyesight, and we revisit the sexual rules of the pandemic including the infamous Government ...

BPD&D3 E4: Bag of Cough Drops [VIDEO]

The boys are back in town! Well, actually, we finally head to town for the very first time, as we finish two full episodes of being "on the road" and we arrive at the famed Whitecastle. Predictably, things go horribly wrong as we try to find a way in to kidnap/save/who knows the vaunted Prince Ian. Will we manage to do it?

Episode 270: HCJustin v. The Sims Online [AD-FREE]

HCJustin (Twitch streamer) joins the show for the first time to tell us about being a beta tester for the Sims Online as a teenager....and immediately getting banned from the game. We also relive our teenage days with some deep talk about Spencer's Gifts (there's still over 600 locations!), Justin explains his insane sub-a-thons, and we chat about birth certificates, taxes, and while explaining "normal mode" on Go Off Kings, we learn what the most common sound alerts are on Twitch. Guess what...

Hell Block 15: Stefan v. Colin Moriarty w/ Joshua Custodio

Josh Custodio (Wrestling Brain) returns to the show to discuss one of Stefan's blocks, a man who blocked Stefan FINALLY after years of Stefan using one of his GameFAQ dedications as his banner image on Twitter. And the episode is somewhat gross, as we discuss bugs, a particular BM of Stefan's, and the smell of wrestling and Super Smash Bros events. Plus, Snoop Dogg goes smokeless, Tom does coin flips, and Josh brings us a very contentious Top 3.

Episode 269: Beth McColl v. Joyce Carol Oates [AD-FREE]

Beth 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 int...

Blocked Bag 44: Cricket Motel w/ Robin Hatch

Robin Hatch (musician) rejoins the show to answer YOUR questions about the worst hotels we've ever stayed in, the old internet, overrated cities, our sisters, and in a return to a previous question, we think about how confident we are in landing a seaplane.

Episode 268: Katie Burrell v. Two Ski Brands [AD-FREE]

Katie 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 w...

Episode 267: The 2024 Blocked Party Enemies List [AD-FREE]

It's our first-ever New Year's Day episode, and we are celebrating the dawn of 2024 the right way: by declaring the people and things we will direct the most negative energy towards for the next 366 days (leap year!). But first, we discuss our respective Christmases including Stefan's Lethal Company marathon, John's trip to Ontario and big gift from Becca, and Dan discovering that since his recent sobriety, he has lost his tolerance for marijuana. Plus, we discuss Goldeneye, Diddy Kong Racing...

BPD&D E3: Just the Tip w/ Jesse, db, and Josh Buergel [VIDEO]

The boys are back and we are trying to get to our final destination of Whitecastle. As you might imagine, that proves more difficult than expected. Not because of the monsters or the weirdos we encounter on the trail, but because...well, because we are very bad at D&D.

Episode 266: K.C. Novak v. Her Therapist [AD-FREE]

It's Christmas! Our first-ever on-Christmas episode brings a return from favorite guest K.C. 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 ...

The Canadian Education Programme for Foreign Podcasters 18: Michael Bublé's "Christmas" w/ Joe Kwaczala

To celebrate Joe Kwaczala's (comedian) new Christmas album, we couldn't think of anything better to cover than Michael Bublé's "Christmas", an album that has sold a staggering amount of copies (even more than you're thinking) and has spawned a raft of shorter EPs to capitalize on its popularity. We take a look at one of those EPs here, "Family Christmas", and we also find out where Michael Bublé lives. Not in a weird way.

Episode 265: Libby Watson v. A Donut [AD-FREE]

Lucky 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 heav...

Stefan the City: And John's Like That 12: "The Last Supper Part Two: Entrée" w/ Rory Uphold [VIDEO]

TW: this episode contains some talk of ways of dying from 9:30-15:30

She was such an overwhelming fan favourite that we had to get her back on a bonus episode immediately. And yes, we are of course referring to Che Diaz. But Rory Uphold is back too, as we review the season finale of AJLT Season 2, and we get a shocking number of our predictions right as Carrie says goodbye to her apartment, Steve reappears on the show, and Anthony takes it in the ass.

Episode 264: Dead Blossom Jesse v. A Stranger

Dead 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 ...

BPD&D3 E2: On the Road and In the Hole w/ Jesse, db, and Josh

We are back! After a calamitous month that mimicked a D&D game with hospitalizations, family emergencies, and trips to far-away lands (Australia), the fearsome foursome that is BP and YKS are back for another round of D&D, and this time, we are on the road to Whitecastle. The mythical place, not the restaurant. Though we try to go to the restaurant too, even though this is presumably set in Medieval France. Anyway, Jesse turns into a car, we ride inside of him, we find a giant hole, a...

Episode 263: Racquel Belmonte v. Her Therapist [AD-FREE]

Racquel 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...

Episode 262: Michael Balazo v. Graham Linehan [AD-FREE]

Michael 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 S...

Blocked Bag 43: The Hottest Person w/ Charlie Demers [VIDEO]

Charlie Demers (comedian/author) returns to the show to answer YOUR questions about the hottest person we've ever met, disappointing albums, goalie masks, airport sex, old sports, and Charlie plays M/F/K with John, Stefan, and Dan.
