Blocked Party

If you're thinking you can't trust a man named Ashley, our guest this week, Danika Thibault (comedian), is here to prove you right, as she tells a tale about a chance encounter leading to a very weird online interaction and subsequent blocking by...a man named Ashley. Speaking of weird online interactions, Stefan doubles down on his Marge impression from the Go Off Kings this week, and shows at le...

It's a long-awaited episode as our old friend Tom (ChapoFYM) joins us after the worst intro in show history to tell us a great Block Tale as he revisits the "horny Twitter" we got into with the Globe Hell guys and folks...this time, it might be worse. As we've mentioned before, we've known Tom since the Real Good Show days and so we spend some time reminiscing about the RGS Hot-Off and the Akron P...

K.C. Novak (comedian) makes her return to the show to talk about another romantic rejection, this time through a business she falls in love with over the pandemic. The Blocked Boys offer moral support as she walks us through the DMs and puts herself out there in a very sweet way. The rest of the show is also pretty darn sweet as we talk backyard games, Van Morrison's anti-lockdown album, and Kiki'...

Will Weldon (comedian, actor) joins the show for the third time but the first on a main episode, as we dig into his old "L.A. Meetings" bit on Twitter and find out how it led to getting blocked by a prominent screenwriter. Elsewhere on the show it's a preview of the Blocked Boys' weekend as we discuss the Vancouver "Heat Dome" and our plans to deal with it, and a tease of our Canadian Education ep...

Sophie Ross (writer/podcaster) joins us to discuss a pretty big-time block from Kendall Jenner that involved getting quote-tweeted by Kim Kardashian and a whole lot of Twitter drama. It's a perfect fit for our show and so is Sophie, as we run down her post-COVID return to the New York City lifestyle, complete with a 3 am Taco Bell run. We also get into hockey and football which leads to a discussi...

Nate Ruess (musician, fun.) joins the show to talk about a very weird series of tweets from the guy from Eve 6, who called out Nate's band and forced Nate to block him just because Nate was sick of people talking to him about it. Nate doesn't get sick of talking to us though, as we run through our old high school days after John talks about playing some fun. songs with his teacher band at a Christ...

It's our first episode in 8 months where we have everyone including the guest in studio, and boy do we have a fun time with our wonderful guest Brandon Wardell (actor/comedian). To borrow a phrase from past guest David J. Roth, we "remember some guys", but instead of sports, it's the internet edition, as we dig into some people we remember from the early days of Twitter and YouTube. From there, Br...

Yasi Salek (podcaster, writer) joins the pod and lays down the law, as someone finally sides with John in the great "peen nut" incident and agrees the story is boring. There's a block in here too, as "scene queen" Audrey Kitching blocks Yasi and sends her down a YouTube rabbit hole as she remembers the block. Elsewhere, Yasi and John form a kinship over music podcast reply guys and we get into som...

It's only our second-ever dual guest episode, as we welcome Josiah and Drew from the Globe Hell Warning podcast to tell us about a Twitter prank that goes awry but has a heartwarming ending, as we learn all about a new weird sect of Twitter. The show gets off the rails pretty quick as we decide what the "other main character" of our show would be, in the same way "New York" is a character in Sex a...

Ashley Feinberg (writer, Trashberg) returns to the show to tell us about a back-and-forth with gas station interviewer Salena Zito, who went on a merry-go-round of soft-blocking Ashley before finally pulling the trigger after MONTHS of playing games. It's a wild one and we love it. We also take a trip down memory lane as we remember Harry Potter midnight releases and the Avatar message boards, whi...

Lauren Ash (Superstore) joins us for a look inside a popular actor's mentions, as a guy who assumed he was going to be ignored got just about the opposite treatment from Lauren and her followers until HE needed to block HER to avoid being messed with further. Elsewhere, the episode starts off hot as John delves into a years-old debate with Stefan, as we talk bad Jeopardy contestants, Canadian pron...

It's our first-ever "anti-block" this week, as art critic Jerry Saltz takes what would be a likely block situation for 95% of Twitter's genteel population and turns it into a success story with our guest, Ben Flores (writer, podcaster). It's also the first time a guest provides us with an imgur to tell the whole story, and it's a good one. The Blocked Boys tell some other good stories on the episo...

Dan O'Sullivan (writer, Welcome to Sullyville) appears on a main episode of the show for the first time, and him and John find themselves to be kindred spirits as John is uncharacteristically "on one" throughout the whole episode. Speaking of being on one, Dan gets blocked by one of the world's worst people after taking him to task for some horrible behaviour. The rest of the episode is the opposi...

Andrea Jin (comedian) returns to the show with a Block Tale that is quite rare: the one where you're so embarrassed by someone you admire potentially seeing a past DM you sent, that you block them so they don't. It's a first for the show and an endearing story that a lot of us can certainly relate to. Elsewhere in the episode, Stefan tells us all about his brand-new electric lighter, which leads i...

Wes Barker (magician) joins the show to tell us what happens when magicians prank each other, and how it can lead to actual, real-world consequences of the utmost annoyance. The episode itself is also magic, as Wes makes for a great first-time guest as we dive into his recent move to Montreal, having to learn French, and what happens when one of your best friends (who is also a magician) lives nex...

Tim Gray (comedian) joins the show for our first-ever cease-and-desist, as apparently telling jokes about someone on a local cable access show is grounds for getting lawyers involved. It's a particularly scummy man and so it feels like a great thing all around. And this episode is a great thing too, as we find time for John to display his impeccable Godsmack impression and Stefan to display his......

Lauren L. Walker (writer/podcaster) joins the show to demonstrate that the best way to get blocked by Ricky Gervais is to write one of his jokes for him. He's another in a long line of very famous name-searchers and we're surprised it took 123 episodes for him to land here, but it's all worth it. Elsewhere on the episode, Lauren drops a controversial food take as we talk Tums, gourmet dog food, ba...

Molly McAleer (podcaster) joins us to discuss a much juicier Block Tale than the one in the episode's title, one so juicy we've diverted attention from it because we don't want that particular website's followers after us. The Shark Tank block is very fun too, and the whole episode is just a nice time as we learn about Christian YouTube, Juggalo TikTok, and the Real Housewives. Elsewhere, we get i...

Beth McColl (writer) joins the show and breaks new ground for us as our first-ever guest outside of a North American time zone. This prompts a discussion about Daylight Savings Time and doing taxes in different countries, amidst a Block Tale where Beth makes the mistake of being a female fan of Lord of the Rings online. The episode isn't all taxes and timezones though, as the Blocked Boys find tim...

Jane Stanton (comedian, High School Sucked) joins us for what is truly the craziest and weirdest Block Tale we've ever had, and both John and Stefan lose their minds over a shocking reveal. The rest of the episode isn't quite as shocking but still has us on the edge as we talk about Stefan's Lord of the Rings weekend, Jane's high school parties, and John's follies living with his parents into his...

Lance St. Laurent (Jeopardy! champ) joins the show to demonstrate that the fraternity of Jeopardy! champions is not guaranteed, as he tells the story of being blocked by past J! champion and noted internet shitheel Arthur Chu. John and Lance also get a chance to formally squash their brief Twitter feud after John tweeted about Lance's run on Jeopardy!, and get into some of the finer details surrou...

It's the grand finale of BP Sweeps Month, and we couldn't have capped it off any better, as Lance Storm (former ECW, WCW, and WWF wrestler) joins the program to tell us why you'd have to block a fellow wrestler, and the consequences if you forget to unblock them. Elsewhere on the show, Lance gives us the skinny on how being a professional wrestler ends up ruining a lot of conventional entertainmen...

BP Sweeps Month continues as Karen Kilgariff (My Favorite Murder) joins the show to talk about getting a very strange follow that led to an immediate block, a follow so bad we won't even mention the person's name in this space. The rest of the episode is not bad at all, but in fact, very good, as the Blocked Boys talk with Karen about our online ordering habits through COVID, crazy dreams, the CIA...

BP Sweeps Month continues as we welcome Canadian hero and comedy legend Brent Butt (Corner Gas) on the show for a look inside his block list. We ask the question, "what's in a name?", as it seems that you can almost immediately tell why Brent would've blocked these people based on their Twitter names alone. We look at a couple and it's...not good. Elsewhere on the episode, the Blocked Boys talk cr...

BP Sweeps Month is here!!! And we kick it off in a big way, as Julie Klausner (actor, author, Double Threat) joins the show to tell us about her one red carpet interview experience: at the Golden Collar Awards, where she runs into Pauley Perrette, the actor from NCIS who might also be an insane person. We dig into that story as well as Pauley's tweets, which are predictably quite wild. Elsewhere,...
