    Maddy Kelly v. Stand-Up Haters

    Maddy Kelly v. Stand-Up Haters

    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 us with a Naomi Wolf update, and Drew Carey lands on a different astral plane at the Phish concert at the Sphere.

    If you want to hit a different astral plane, may we suggest listening to Blocked Party bonus content? Over at patreon.com/blockedparty, $5/month gets you THREE bonus episodes every damn month. Dropping TODAY is our latest Canadian Education Programme episode, as Mr. Pizza Suplex himself, Pat Gill, joins us to discuss a Canadian institution: Video and Arcade Top 10. We also have a new Cameo episode up with Gianmarco Soresi, ad-free episodes, an exclusive Discord, and MORE!

    Maddy Kelly is a comedian whose latest podcast, "Let's Make a Horror" is out now wherever you get your pods. You can follow her on Instagram (on her desktop) at @itsmaddykelly.

    Erin Wood v. Mr. Clean

    Erin Wood v. Mr. Clean

    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 with something Stefan and John enjoy. Plus, Erin deleted all her social media, Stefan shows us some rejected vanity license plates, and John introduces Stefan and Erin to scenic pisses.

    If you don't want to piss us off, you can donate to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you THREE bonus episodes every month! Last week, Gianmarco Soresi rejoined the show to watch some horrible Cameos with us, and we discovered our new favorite guy on Cameo: UFC fighter Nick Diaz. We also have ad-free episodes, merch discounts, and more, so check it out!

    Erin Wood is a comedian who does not have social media, but if you live in Calgary, you can go to her weekly open mic Ratboy (it's great! Maybe you'll see John!), which is at Vern's Pub every Wednesday at 8:30 pm.

    Adam Christie v. Becca

    Adam Christie v. Becca

    Adam Christie (comedian) returns to the show for his first main episode in over 4 years! Part of the reason he hadn't returned to the show is because no one had blocked him. But then Becca volunteers...and hilarity ensues. Hilarity also ensues the entire episode as Stefan shows us an insane picture (what else is new?), Adam attends an eclipse party, Mr. Beast has a new chocolate bar, and we go long on micropenises. Plus, Keith Lee visits Toronto, a Zoom presentation goes wildly wrong, and Elon Musk goes to court, though he isn't exactly sure who sued him.

    If you want to avoid being sued by us, you can donate to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you THREE bonus episodes every single month. Last week, Bobby Warrener joined the show for a delightful mailbag episode, and this week, it's the return of "Word Up!", our Cameo-based bonus series we have now returned to doing bi-monthly, where we find the absolute worst in celebrity shout-outs. We also have ad-free episodes if you hate the damn ads, a massive back catalogue, a Discord, and more!

    Adam Christie is a comedian who will be on tour with Randy Feltface this fall, and has lots of fun dates coming up before that as well. You can find out everything you need to know on his Instagram at @adamchristiecomedian.

    Donovan Eyre v. John McAfee

    Donovan Eyre v. John McAfee

    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 Cybertruck gets compared to a prom dress (?) in a very strange tweet, and we find out just how stupid parents are over on r/teachers.

    If you want to support this show's own r/teacher, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you THREE bonus episodes every single month! We also have ad-free episodes, merch discounts, and I guess we might do Canada Juice II? Who knows.

    Donovan Eyre is a podcaster whose show, Radio-Free Tote Bag, is available wherever you get your pods. You can follow them on Instagram at @rftb.dono.

    Will Sennett & Helena v. Matt Rife

    Will Sennett & Helena v. Matt Rife

    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 a confusing Long Island Iced Tea that Helena drank at the movies, John seeing some baffling anti-mayor signs, and we learn Dan has every Amiibo ever made. Plus, pretend psychologists on Instagram, alpha male camps, Dragon's Dogma II, and Ilia Malinin lands a quadruple axel.

    If you want to feel as good as a figure skater landing the hardest jump known to man, you can donate to the show at patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. Last week, Raptors and Jays analyst Blake Murphy joined us to discuss his career as a sports journalist and working your way into a difficult profession, and it was a real blast. We also have ad-free episodes, merch discounts, and exclusive Discord, and much more!

    Together, Will and Helena host the 197424 podcast, which is available wherever you get your pods. Will is also a standup comedian, and you can find his dates and everything else on his Instagram at @will_sennett. Helena is on Instagram as well, at @bugsizechihuahua.

    Becca v. A Broken Man

    Becca v. A Broken Man

    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 popular segment in the show's history: unearthing old social media posts of John's for the listener's enjoyment (and his embarrassment). This time, she goes to Facebook, and there are some doozies. And finally, Stefan finds a weird Bandy video and John watches a guy sprain his ankle.

    You know what's better than spraining your ankle? Becoming a donor to the show! For just $5/month, you'll get access to THREE bonus episodes every month over at patreon.com/blockedparty. Last week, Lance St. Laurent returned to discuss the Avro Arrow, and this week, our friend and sports analyst Blake Murphy joins us for a Heck/Cullen episode where we get the lowdown on how to get into covering sports professionally. We also have tiers with ad-free episodes, merch discounts, and a whole lot more! So check it out!

Great but missing one thing

I love this podcast but it needs more Joey World Tour content

Antiloop33rpm ,

Why have guests when you leave them hanging?

Even if you are not ‘very online’ this can still be an alright show to listen to. There are some things that I don’t care for (stories get repeated way too often, playing video clips on an audio show, etc). But no podcast is perfect and those I could overlook.

But one thing that really hurts the show is the interaction with guests. If it is someone the hosts know really well then the vibe and interaction is fine. But when it’s someone they haven’t met or dont really know it can be rough. There are times where the hosts spend 5 or 10 minutes talking about something the guest clearly has no interest in and instead of switching topics the guest just sits in silence. Even more awkward is when Stefan tries to get the guest interested in a fast food guy or some disgusting video. And instead of backing off when the person is clearly not interested/comfortable he just pushes even harder which is really tough to listen to.

I also don’t get the hate towards Jon. He has the better radio voice, and has probably saved the show from having guests just hang up or walk out of the studio. Blocked Party without Jon is just The Go Off Kings which people can already watch.

But the show does have a lot of lesser known Canadian comics/actors on. In that regard I do really like getting to hear from new voices instead of ‘the usual’ podcast world people. Overall the podcast is worth a listen even with its faults. No show is perfect and it’s easy enough to just move on to another episode when things with the guest are going wrong.
