Summary

Beth McColl (writer) returns to the program to discuss how she got blocked by one of Twitter's renowned weirdos, author Joyce Carol Oates, but for not really doing anything weird or offensive. She just faved a partly disparaging tweet reply! That's it! Sad that she has to miss out on disgusting keyboards and deranged foot pics, but here we are. After John messes up the intro, we get into a great episode as we discuss Jackson Galaxy, Cat Bin Lady, John's upcoming trip to London, we finally introduce the $100 Club perks for 2024, and Beth tells us about being THAT girl at a wedding. Plus, Beth falls in love with the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid and the recent incident there, Stefan gets us deep into some bog talk, and we discuss Jo Koy throwing his writers under the bus at the Golden Globes. If you want to pull us out from under the bus, you can head on over to patreon.com/blockedparty, where $5/month gets you access to THREE bonus episodes every single month. Last week, Robin Hatch joined us for a Blocked Bag episode, and this week, BPD&D Episode 4 comes out, with our good friends from YKS. Plus, as we announced on the show, a slew of new $100 Club perks for our most treasured of Tiers, which as always, will come with ad-free episodes, deep merch discounts, and a whole lot more. So please help support the show today! Beth McColl is a writer and podcaster who has a brand-new book and a brand-new podcast out NOW. Her new book, "Romanticise Your Life", is now available for pre-order in the UK, and will be available worldwide as an e-book and audiobook on February 1st.
