Adam and Jason ”Mayhem” Miller are back with comedian Dave Landau and Joey McIntyre from New Kids on the Block. It's a jam-packed episode covering everything from stand-up's grunge era to boy band nostalgia. Adam and Dave Landau break down the evolution of comedy and music—why grunge wouldn't exist without hair metal and how American culture demands constant reinvention. Plus, Adam sounds off on Randi Weingarten's latest billionaire rant, Gavin Newsom's painfully obvious attempt at a rebrand, and the absurdity of solar panels on churches. Then, Joey McIntyre joins the show to talk New Kids on the Block, his Boston roots, and what it's really like to grow up in the biggest boy band on the planet. He shares stories from Broadway, his new solo tour, and even dishes on leaving Bill Burr hilarious voicemails.

Adam Christie (comedian) is back and not a moment too soon, as he has strangely encountered a lot of genies (?) over the last few months, and needs our help sorting through it all. We sort through a lot of things on this episode, as we discuss the new Beetlejuice Fanta, Star Wars Pepsi, the milk cartons that mooed, working at Blockbuster as a movie snob, and Kirk Cousins' weird jar of stones. Plus, AutoTune the News makes a triumphant (?) return with an assist from Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Stefan checks in on a QAnon account, and there's a Jeopardy! anecdote so insane that John has to have it cross over onto a BP episode. If you want to hear a bunch more crossover episodes with tons of great guests, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month will get you THREE bonus episodes every single month! Last week, our good friend Luke Taylor joined the show to discuss the Canadian CGI animation show ReBoot, and it was a grand old time. We also have ad-free episodes, an exclusive Discord, merch discounts, and when the show's main episodes end in a few weeks, the only place to find us will be on Patreon! So join now! Also, a reminder that we are going LIVE in a few weeks! On October 11th and 12th, we'll be doing 4 shows over 2 nights at Vancouver's Biltmore Cabaret with our good pals Bryan Quinby and Chris James from Guys and Not Even a Show! Individual show tickets and weekend passes are available now at bit.ly/top3weekend. See you there! Adam Christie is a comedian who runs a show every Friday in Toronto at Comedy Bar called The Headliner. You can see what he's up to on Instagram at @adamchristiecomedian.

Comedian, Venice Surfer, Bar Owner, Chris Gorbos starts with Anton Chekhov short stories and ends with Jack Reacher headbutting his way through cheap paperbacks. He and Joshua talk the passive joys of public transportation and how being in a good place in life helps with their reading. The two friends exchange ride sharing experiences they felt were unexpectedly profound and how they relate them to the story of a horse and buggy driver that Chris reads every year. Chris holds Josh's feet to the fire over how the idealist expects to build a better world and they both agree that reading shouldn't be a pretentious experience.TOUR UPDATES: Joshua will be in Richmond, California September 16 & 18th doing stand up at the Factory Bar and in Chicago November 7 and 8 at the Comedy Bar downtown.
