Summary

Ryan Beil (comedian) joins the show and it's a long way from being our first-ever bonus episode guest, as he tells us the story of how A&W commercials changed his life...until he was fired from them. And then until he was rehired by them. And then fired again. It's a story that will resonate for Canadians and actors everywhere, and ends with Ryan forced to block the account of the beloved fast food chain. There are many great things that will resonate with the listeners this week, as we discuss dogs, Old Guys, old tweets, KFC's Oopee, and even though John and Stefan are now back from their vacation together, this episode was recorded before we left, so you're gonna hear all about it. Plus, Ryan tells of how his algorithm changed after spending a month in Regina, we ponder about our blue check futures, John watches Mancow get "waterboarded", and the Blocked Boys agree to perform a one-act play together. And once we do that one-act play? Well, it'll be over on our Patreon! For that, and more great bonus content, head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty. You'll get three fun bonuses every month, including last week, as we had Maddy Kelly on for a mailbag episode that was a great time and this week, Jesse Farrar returns to the show for the second-ever episode of "Did You Get the Memmo?", our look at Canada's answer to Cameo. Plus you get merch discounts, access to our Discord, and more. Check it out. Ryan Beil is a comedian who performs every Sunday night at the Fox Cabaret in Vancouver as part of The Sunday Service, Canada's critically-acclaimed improv group (and we think the best). You can listen to his new podcast "Let's Make a Rom-Com" wherever you get your pods, and you can follow him on Twitter at @ryanbeil. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
