Ed the Sock (and Friends)

Donald Trump and his supporters cite his "strength". But was a rambling, unfocused speech at the Republican National Convention a display of vigor or massive self-indulgence?

This episode: Democrats play "Dude, Where's My Shank?"; Donald Trump's bigly yuge ear bandage; newsmedia are whores; Corus Media is the Towering Inferno; why Canadian media is doomed; Homelander on "The Boys" the best actor on TV; Ed hates Sherlock Holmes and more. With Liana Kerzner and Ed the Sock.

This Episode: Ed vs butterscotch pudding and shelf-stable dairy products; the mysterious disappearance of Chiclets; a debate over the efficacy of the term 'privilege'; the missing puzzle piece in reducing domestic violence; why it's better to be incoherent all the time and more, with Liana Kerzner and Ed the Sock.

Mistakes are inevitable, but they don't have to be insurmountable. Liana shares personal stories of her own mistakes, how & why she compounded some and learned to turn mistakes into something positive.

Hear how childhood trauma, parents, friends and our work & home environments can influence what mistakes we make and how we process them - and how to turn those mistakes into fuel for positive growth.

This Episode: The Loblaws boycott that wasn't - and shouldn't have been; What is a JINO and who would Jesus sue?; LCBO on strike (poor Doug Ford); why people deep-down hate each other; Ed's weird Woolco dream. With Liana Kerzner and Ed the Sock.

Larry David vs. Elmo, the whining of Wil Wheaton and other examples of men whose defining masculine trait is being miserable human beings.

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

"So, what are you saying?" That's a question people get asked, but also one we should be asking of ourselves. Are we really delivering the message we intend, or has it gone (maybe horribly) awry? Communication errors plague everyone at some point, so Liana takes us through easy ways to get our message across more effectively and avoid misunderstandings.

The first 2024 match-up between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump was a debacle, but not for the reasons people think.

This Episode: Stephen Lautens and Steven Kerzner focus on Canadian issues: Doug Ford's Science Centre boondoggle may be the first breech in his teflon armour; Poilievre's propaganda's impact on wishy-washy Liberals; the sad irony of Queers for Palestine; the disturbing bias in reporting on Israel; the Left's efforts to define 'Zionism' as something it isn't; the uphill battle of female party leaders and the need for 'big d*ck' energy among Ontario's political opposition and more. 

For once the left-leaning and right-embracing news media agree on a narrative - that Biden's performance is an indication of his lack of fitness for re-election and Trump was victorious. Well, Ed and Red aren't part of that news media silo. If you're looking for an alternative to the media chorus, listen to this podcast!
