Mike Rugnetta v. Trump Merch Blocked Party

Mike Rugnetta (podcaster) joins the show for the first time to tell us about the weirdly specific subset of products that his Twitter feed is currently being dominated by: Donald Trump merch. We go over the entire insane product line, and update Mike on the dumb Twitter ads we are getting up here in Canada. It's a big week over on Bluesky, as they've added gifs, and we discuss Taco Bell, the Filet O'Fish, Long John Silver's, the Scorpion Bar at Foxboro Stadium, and we listen in to what DJ Jon Gosselin has been laying down lately. Plus, Mike's TikTok algorithm is overrun by the Chinese Industrial Complex, Rod Black gets a heartwarming baseball moment with his son, and we check in on our good friend Tito Ortiz.

If you want to provide us with some heartwarming feelings, 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, Pat Gill joined us to break down Canada's insane 90s video gaming show, Video and Arcade Top 10, and it was a true delight. We also have ad-free episodes, merch discounts, and over 150 episodes in the back catalogue, so don't miss out!
