The Canadian Education Programme for Foreign Podcasters 6: Raccoons on Ice w/ Jamie Loftus

Our good friend and most-appearing guest ever, Jamie Loftus (Aack Cast, Bechdel Cast) joins us for a look at beloved Canadian animated special, "Raccoons On Ice", a pro-environmentalist cartoon about a cute bunch of raccoons and a grimy bunch of aardvarks. The episode centres around a big hockey game and with Jamie's dad being a long-time hockey writer, we find some common ground as we learn about Jamie's history with the Boston Bruins and her current love of Zambonis. Plus, we talk the bizar...

Blocked Bag 20: It's in the Cards w/ Nick Nemeroff

Returning guest Nick Nemeroff (comedian) joins us to answer listener questions as Stefan gifts the boys packs of hockey cards and we dig into John's history with scratch-and-wins and Nick's prank on his grandfather involving them.

Cullen the Herd 8: John v. A Curling Twitter Guy w/ Charles Star

Charles Star (ALAB, Hostile Witness) returns to the show to commiserate with John on his first-ever block of his curling-only Twitter account, @cullenthecurler. John and a guy get into a brief spat about curling legend Don Bartlett and John catches the block for having a correct opinion. Correct opinions abound on the show as we start with an extended look at Mike Ditka's life and segue into sports heartbreak, Norwegian curlers, absurd law files, and fixing stuff.

The Canadian Education Programme for Foreign Podcasters 5: The Canadian Football League w/ Kofie Yeboah

We are back to teach another foreigner about our strange land and we're bringing on a return guest, Kofie Yeboah (Secret Base, Fumble Dimension) to do it! We cover all the ins and outs of the CFL, from its start as a rugby union league all the way through its American expansion and current state. We get into 3-down football, wider fields, bigger balls, rouges, and of course we take a look at some of our favourite clips from the Angelo Mosca/Joe Kapp fight to the "O Christmas Tree" rendition o...

Blocked Bag 19: It's an Emergency! w/ Producer Dan

After our planned bonus guest is forced to cancel last minute, the Blocked Boys dip into the mailbag and record with Producer Dan to make sure we never fail you, the listeners. (don't worry, the planned bonus episode will still happen in October)

We dig into questions about the alphabet, toilets, mispronouncing words, disappointing video games, our fursonas, and the BBs finally answer the question at the front of everyone's mind: how many dates have you been on?

The Guest Letter #42: Sweating at the End of the World by Jordan Foisy

This will be the final Guest Letter published, at least for now. What started as a one-off idea from John's partner Becca spawned what was a pretty cool series for both us and freelancers/comedians/writers who needed to make some extra cash in the pandemic. With your help, we were able to pay writers over $2500 to write these 42 newsletters for us, and we've received lots of great feedback on them. It just became no longer sustainable for us to source, edit, and write the newsletters and ...

Paranoia 2: Shots Fired w/ Josh Buergel, Carlos Maza, Carla Mah, and Racquel Belmonte

We rejoin our gang in Alpha Complex as they struggle to find their way to requisitions to get the proper gear for the impossible mission. Will Der finally come out of his shell? What is Lil' Sexy Mikey doing with all those nipple guns? Is Dodger Deng about to turn on the entire squad? Can Champ rein in his anger long enough to be a valuable member of the team? And can Kyle Cheeseburger STOP DYING? All these questions and more are answered in the second episode of 4 as our crew tries to find o...

Hell Block 11: Stefan v. John Pavlovitz w/ Brett Payne

We are joined by our good pal Brett Payne (Street Fight Radio) as Stefan gets blocked by a weirdo youth pastor and author over a tweet that makes a bizarre Avengers/Trump Resistance comparison (you know, one of THOSE guys). We get heavy into movies on this one, from Brett's recent foray into the Movies Cinematic Universe to John's admission he's seen Casino but not Goodfellas. We also recap Fred Durst's directorial career amidst discussion of men's underwear, Canadian candy, Jon Oringer's ter...

Blocked Bag 18: Vacation Mode w/ The Hecks

After John's dad successfully made it through a mailbag episode last month, we thought why not make it a family double as we record this episode from the Heck family cabin with Dr. and Mrs. Heck. We learn a lot about Stefan as a baby, how the two of them met, what they think of John and Becca, Stefan's nickname growing up, bad smells, and what they think of their son's online presence. We also learn way too much about Stefan's introduction to goatse. Basically, you don't wanna miss this.

The Newsletter #46: Ranking the Jeopardy! Guest Hosts

If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll know that one of the purest pleasures in my life is watching Jeopardy! every single night. Growing up in my house, Jeopardy! was one of the shows that I connected with alongside my parents, as we would watch almost every night from the time I was probably 8 or 9 until now. I stayed with my parents for a few nights a month ago because I was having a minor procedure done at a hospital near them, and the one thing we made sure to do together was watch Jeopar...

The Canadian Education Programme for Foreign Podcasters 4: Ready or Not w/ Melissa Stetten

We're back to educate one of our faves, Melissa Stetten (writer/podcaster) on Canada's classic coming-of-age story for young girls: Ready or Not. We watch two very, uhh, enlightening episodes of the show, as we learn a lot about girls buying their first bra and whether or not wanting to see your best friend's brother's dong makes you a perv. Plus, we put Melissa to the test with the Canadian Quiz and decide whether or not RoN still holds up and if we'd watch more episodes of it.

Word Up! 17: The Impressionists w/ Brandon Ash Mohammed

The boys are back and on Cameo, as we bring on one of our faves, Brandon Ash Mohammed (comedian) to discuss the world's worst celebrity shoutouts. Stefan is still stuck on his bad Cameo impressionists kick and without knowing John and Brandon also found some impressionists, it's a wild episode where we hear from bad versions of Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone, Michael Jackson, Tom Cruise, Justin Timberlake, and a truly appalling Mr. Bean. Plus, we've got another baffling selection from Dog...

Blocked Bag 17: Swollen Up w/ John Cullen Sr.

The moment has arrived, as John finally relents to allowing his dad, John Cullen the Fourth, to appear on the show and answer YOUR questions. We run the gamut of things from learning about John's most embarrassing moments growing up to some real life advice newlyweds and for Becca as she prepares to marry John, and the usual collection of bullshit from memories of John Sr.'s career to how to pronounce "decal" to yes, making John's dad watch a Joey's World Tour video.

The After Party 18: Ding Dong w/ Chris Locke, Michael Balazo & James Hartnett

It's a party for the ages as we invite the three hosts of the Evil Men Podcast, Chris Locke, Michael Balazo, and James Hartnett, on for a hang. We get way into the weeds on this one as we talk about foreign snack foods, Blippi, ear wax, and we discover the male version of the Sybian, complete with an explicit advertising video and large briefcase attachment.

You can follow the guys' new podcast at @EvilMenPod and you can listen to James and Mike's podcast, "The Landlord Tenant Podcast" ...

The Canadian Education Programme for Foreign Podcasters 3: Poutine w/ Derek

Our good friend of the show, Derek (Truthpoint) is in town visiting his partner, and so we figured what better thing to do than introduce him to one of Canada's finest foods: poutine. The Blocked Boys and Derek head to a local poutine place on one of the hottest recorded days in Canadian history, because nothing is better in the hot weather than gravy and cheese curds. We run through the history of one of Canada's most beloved junk foods, including the American equivalents, and find out about...

Blocked Bag 16: On the Ropes w/ Randee Neumeyer

Randee Neumeyer (comedian) returns to the show to help us answer YOUR questions and a revisit of a question from the last mailbag leads to a lengthy discussion of...well, just listen to it. We can just say the episode doesn't NOT get horny as we talk about the worst things we've heard during sex, the weirdest porno we've watched, and discuss what makes "photogenic" cum. It's not all filthy though, as we field queries about Blink 182, bad roommates, getting dressed, our worst followers, and we...

We're back for another trivia episode brought to you by our venerable Quizmaster, Meg Walls, and featuring two of our faves, comedians and podcasters Eli Yudin and Patrick Monahan. John goes for his 5th consecutive Trivia Party title as Meg introduces a brand-new round type that produces an insane sequence from the players and she upsets John by doing away with flags. Plus, the end of the show has a twist as one of the contestants goes for broke.

Word Up! 16: The Cameo Drinking Game w/ Adam Christie

We're once again joined by our good friend Adam Christie (comedian) for a look at the worst in Cameos, and Adam comes up with a drinking game that sent a lot of people into their Saturday night pretty wrecked, Adam and Producer Dan included. Speaking of Producer Dan, John gets a Breaking News Update cameo for him and we look at offerings from Vanilla Ice, Vic DiBitetto, Paul Flart, Tom Sizemore, and a host of bad impersonators from Trump to George Clooney to Michael Jackson.

We bring our pal Tom Hill (Hip.Bang!) back to the program to discuss just why Stefan keeps hiding his hands in all those photos. Plus, we get into tarot readings, dreams becoming reality, Joey's World Tour, sports fandom, and we set the table for a live read of Shasta McNasty.

It's another edition of the podcast where we answer your listener questions, and this time we are joined by our pal and host of Not Even a Show, Chris James!

But it's not all bad, as Chris tells us the story of one of the most embarrassing experiences of his life as we reminisce on childhood athletic dreams, our childhood girlfriend dreams, Jackass, our favourite food, and we p...

BP Live! 8: Sportz Blooperz w/ David J. Roth

We went live this past weekend, talking about sportz and its various blooperz with our pal David J. Roth (Defector Media). After once again paying tribute to the awesome "Solsbury Hill Nutshot" video Stefan made a few years ago, we get into the worst of sports, from mascots passing out to fights between professional bowlers to hockey players getting into with fans to a 4-minute compilation of the best in cricket nutshots. It's all here, and it's all great.

It's the debut episode of our new bonus feature, the Canadian Education Programme for Foreign Podcasters, where we bring on esteemed, non-Canadian guests and teach them about Canadian pop culture. This episode, we bring on our friend Howell Dawdy (Howell Dawdy's Fast Track) to discuss Fred Penner, beloved children's entertainer and all-around good guy.

Producer Dan is back as a guest on the show for another set of mailbag questions, and as per usual, we learn far too much about each other as we answer questions about drinking water, drinking piss, working in warehouses, sending nudes, high school, sports logos, and Stefan finally answers the question, "can you drive?"

We go in on Twitter's favourite art maven, as John tries (unsuccessfully) to buy art from Tony and manages to get blocked on two different accounts.

The After Party 16: Pacific Rimmed w/ Jesse Farrar

It's our first listener donation episode in a while, as fatraccoon pays up for us to bring Jesse Farrar (Your Kickstarter Sucks, Go Off Kings) on the pod to answer to the assertion that hey, you know what? Pacific Rim 2 wasn't really that bad. The catch? Jesse has no idea that's even the theme of the episode. We manage to get him talking about PR for an inordinate amount of time without his knowledge that's the theme of the episode, and it's a fun time. We also find time to really dig in on S...

It's a cursed union as the Blocked Boys invite two of the other original Cameo disruptors, Nick Ciarelli and Bradford Evans, on the show to find and deconstruct some truly heinous Cameos.

Plus, we hear from our old pal Joey and John gets Stefan a surprise.
