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.
2023-11-23 03:24:57 +0000 UTC View PostGavin 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 po...
2023-11-20 05:55:45 +0000 UTC View PostAdam Christie (comedian, noted fan fave) returns for one of John's blocks, as someone from a burner account was spewing hate at curler Brad Gushue and when John went back a bit later to see if the account was still at it, found out he was blocked. A potentially drama-filled situation that never gets started, but thankfully this episode gets started with Adam recounting the so-called "Worst Night of His Life", which occurred when he went out for drinks with Dan and Stefan in Vancouver. This, a...

2023-11-16 06:35:42 +0000 UTC View PostAlistair 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-schoo...
2023-11-13 21:56:28 +0000 UTC View PostBrittany Lyseng (comedian) joins the show for the first time and it's the first in-studio guest in John's new home studio in Calgary. Unfortunately, Brittany is too nice online and so she is forced to do the one thing she never dreamed of doing: blocking Producer Dan. This is a Producer Dan-heavy episode as we spend a lot of time discussing his newfound fascination with pinball and that leads into talk of Godzilla, poetry, luxury kombucha, Halloween, and firecrackers. Plus, Brittany learns a ...
2023-11-06 07:55:12 +0000 UTC View PostWell, we did it. We got our friends Jesse and Mike from YKS to agree to play D&D with us, and...look, I don't even need to get into it. You know what this is. Come and listen to the first episode in where our faithful Dungeon Master Josh Buergel (Fox in the Forest) said he was expecting it to be very stupid, and it was even stupider than he was expecting. Get ready for chaos as Eugene Peperony, Zodiac Johnson, Yujay Sophiseray, and Dr. Poopy head out on a daring quest to kill a prince, or...

Dana Smith (comedian) returns to the show after one of the more unhinged mailbags of all-time to, you guessed it, participate in another unhinged mailbag! We answer your questions about concealing our excitement, Calgary, our worst opinions, fake personalities, big butts, bad podcasts, and smuggling weapons through airport security.

Demi Lardner (bigsofttitty.png) is back on the show as we introduce her to Squawk Box, a YTV sketch show aimed at kids that holds up way better than we remembered and way better than it has any right to. We also dive deep into Demi's past trips to Canada and she takes the vaunted BP Canadian Quiz.

Stefan finally takes his driving to the next level: a very quiet backstreet in suburban Burnaby.
2023-10-01 00:18:04 +0000 UTC View PostI can't help but think that if a team of past Blocked Party guests got together, we could absolutely dominate the Little League World Series. Listener Cath won a contest to earn the privilege of answering YOUR stupid questions, and we have a great time discussing Hot Ones, our best shits, high art, Joey in real life, guys trips, Tiny Desk concerts, and for the first time ever, John is late for an episode.

After a much shorter layoff (probably a week or something, maybe even less), John does standup at his Going Away Show.

After a 13-year layoff, our very own Stefan Heck returns to the stage to perform standup at John's Going Away Show at The MOTN here in Vancouver.
2023-09-09 16:56:02 +0000 UTC View PostMack Gordon (actor/director) returns to the show not as a guest, not as a Family Feud host, but as an actor and director, as he guides us through two of David Ives' critically-acclaimed one-act plays, "The Philadelphia" and "Words Words Words". Mack is a little bit more serious with us this time, as he tries to guide us through learning how to act and how to process comedic timing. It goes...ok.
2023-08-25 21:32:10 +0000 UTC View PostOur mailbag episodes go through a mid-life crisis as Ryan Williams (comedian) returns to the program to regale us about his time at the Just for Laughs festival in Montreal and his disappointment to find out he was blocked by his new friend Tom Walker. And of course, we answer YOUR questions about the death penalty, athletes acting, washing towels, bodily excretions by number, mutating into an animal, street busking, and we set a five-year plan.
2023-08-19 05:21:30 +0000 UTC View PostGirl God (April Clark and Grace Freud) are back on the show and it's not a moment too soon, as we dissect the very popular Canadian kids' game show "Uh Oh!" with them. And it's a real trip down memory lane for John and Stefan as we ponder how The Punisher was allowed to be on television, Wink Yahoo as a general concept, how the entire show really means nothing, the bad prizes, and John reveals that his agent was one of the "referees" on the program. Plus, something happens for the first time ...

Trying to find a happy medium between those who loved and those who hated our episode recaps of this show, we are only going to be covering the season premiere and finale of S2 of "...And Just Like That". For the haters, you'll be pleased to know: the show has not gotten any better. Rachel Schaefer (comedian) returns to break it all down with us, as we see a LOT of boobs (and a bush!), Carrie is still dating that podcast producer guy, Che has a sitcom and you sim...

Check out Jacob's special, "Thirty and Breathing Funny" on YouTube or wherever you get your comedy albums RIGHT NOW!
2023-07-19 15:40:46 +0000 UTC View PostChris James (Not Even a Show, Guys) returns to once again find out that he is guesting on a bonus episode, much to his chagrin. At least this time it is entirely Stefan's fault. It does, however, lead to the biggest laugh in show history as we hang out and discuss our grooming habits, a great sign at a Whitecaps game, short-term car rentals, Vancouver sex clubs, and Chris' girlfriend is a huge BP fan.
2023-07-13 18:30:03 +0000 UTC View PostRyan Lambert (Puck Soup) joins the show for a hockey-heavy chat, as Stefan and John get blocked by a former Vancouver sports radio guy for the innocuous move of retweeting one of his tweets. In fairness to him, the tweet contains one of the worst Vancouver hockey takes of the last 5 years, but we digress. We also talk fantasy hockey, hockey in Arizona, musicians' auxiliary products--including a deep dive into Metallica's insane whiskey, crazy Twitter ads, "The Hat Man", and William Karlsson g...

2023-06-15 03:09:55 +0000 UTC View PostIt's a bit more of an "Actor Party", if you will, as John and Stefan actually follow through on a promise for once and bring Ryan Beil (comedian/actor) back on the show to direct them in a performance of Edward Albee's one-act play, "Zoo Story". It's...maybe good? Feel free to leave a star review in the comments.
2023-06-15 03:08:04 +0000 UTC View PostLibby Watson (writer) returns to the show to answer YOUR questions, but not before we discuss a big moment in Libby's life: becoming an American citizen. Recording the morning after her citizenship party, we discuss old grocery store facial hair policies, UK villages, cask ales, Johncore Traits, riding fictional horses, spinning your dick like a helicopter, and having sex with Donald Trump.
2023-06-08 06:16:58 +0000 UTC View PostZach Cherry (Severance, Succession) joins the show for our second-ever "serious" interview episode, and we ask Zach all the tough questions about his career, after spending about 25 minutes deciding what this show even is.
2023-05-31 21:29:42 +0000 UTC View PostJohnny Pemberton (comedian) returns to the show to discuss one of Canada's best-known musical imports--for better or for worse--the Barenaked Ladies! After diving deep into Johnny's recent NHL fandom, we turn our focus to one of the more bafflingly successful pop bands of this century. From their beginnings as a weird, lounge-y comedy band to where they ended up being nominated for Grammys and going multi-platinum, we cover it all. We just don't recommend listening to more than one song in a ...

We also talk Easter treats, nutting 7 times a day, Guitar Hero, Adam Sandler, martial arts movies, covering the Barenaked Ladies' "One Week", and times we almost died.
