In a press conference earlier this week, head of the Civil Service Commission Niecy Murray blamed Mayor Mike Johnston for pressuring the Denver Police Department to lower standards for law enforcement applicants. But just hours after her public statements, Murray was fired. On the other side of town, Morrison's new cameras have ticketed more than 9,000 drivers for speeding along the town's main strip in less than two weeks. Are more cameras the answer slowing traffic down? Producer Paul Karolyi and host Bree Davies are joined by Denverite transportation and city politics reporter Rebecca Tauber to dig into these stories plus Shaun White in Denver, Antiques Roadshow filming in the Mile High, and more wins and fails of the week. Paul mentioned local law enforcement's recent embrace of drones, summer gas price hikes, and this weekend's Outside Festival. Bree talked about Denver Police Salary numbers and the mayor's less than tasteful social media post. Rebecca mentioned Denverite's taxidermy-ed newsroom raccoon and and a local trivia outfit, Geeks Who Drink. What do you think?

We're back with the last Superfluous episode of 2019! We went to our normal haunt, Little Woodrows, and did not do so hot this time, but at least we got an episode title that would make for a great '50s pop cover band name. Dan talks for a bit about the play The Iceman Cometh, as well as the terrible movie The Snowman. Sam talks about the hypnic jerk, a sleep phenomenon that actually happens pretty often.We also open a box of goodies that we received from Geeks Who Drink, and we close out with a brief recap of the infamous Peloton ad. Thanks for listening and sharing throughout 2019, and be on the lookout for new episodes in 2020!
Jesse Farrar (Your Kickstarter Sucks, Go Off Kings) returns to the show, and whips up a frenzy to try and get blocked for the occasion. After firing barbs at the likes of Mark Cuban and Jonathan Chait, Jesse finally catches a block from "JMR" after her very misguided tweet about socialism and her vote. It's our longest episode ever, and quite frankly, it's deserving of the chaos, as Jesse gets Stefan a special gift to celebrate his Song of the Day, John unearths a social media update he's been waiting 3 months to reveal, and Jesse and Stefan have a Social Media Update surprise for John. In addition to all that, the Blocked Boys go in on the worst team at their first trivia night, the worst game show we've ever heard of (Geeks Who Drink), and chicken wings. If this insane episode inspires you as much as it does us, you may want even more of the insanity at https://patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE wonderful bonus episodes every month. This month, we celebrated our 1-Year Anniversary with a ton of content, including live audio from our first-ever live show, and the video/audio episodes where John, a 34 year-old man, smokes weed for the first time. Chris James and Joshua Custodio join us, and it's a heck of a time. We have a ton of great stuff planned for December as well, so make it a holiday occasion and hop on the BP train. And remember: once you donate $50 to the show lifetime, you get a free shirt. It never stops being this good.

This week I'm joined by Aaron Retka, Managing Editor for Geeks Who Drink. For the uninitiated, Geeks Who Drink is "a homegrown Pub Trivia Quiz modeled after those in Ireland and the UK" that covers "everything from celebrities in trouble to wordplay to bad television." The quizzes are held in bars and breweries across the country, and Aaron spoke with me about how much effort goes into crafting each and every question. Aaron speaks about how he got started with Geeks Who Drink in 2006 as a freelancer, and how that evolved into his current role as Managing Editor. He discussed the elements that make a pub quiz good and relayed that the primary purpose of the quiz is to keep people entertained, "We want people to get the question right." He shares some tales about his years of being a Quizmaster, including some stories about dealing with unruly patrons and dressing up as Dolores Umbridge for a Harry Potter Theme Quiz. I inquired about the growing popularity of pub quizzes, and how it might intersect with the toxic side of fandoms. Aaron provides some frank commentary on gatekeeping in any given fandom, and how the motivation of Geeks Who Drink is to be inclusive to a wide variety of players and fans. I should also note that Aaron is family; I married his cousin in 2004! He's a wonderfully smart guy that is gainfully employed creating pub quizzes. I mean, how cool is that?
