Ed the Sock (and Friends)

Forcing Parliament back to sit in the House during a pandemic? Yes, that's grandstanding Andrew Scheer, that political jock itch that nothing will make go away. Just because you have a phone that can broadcast live video doesn't mean you have anything useful to offer. The outbreak of the virus has led to an outbreak of self-isolation online 'shows' that are are interesting as watching idiots watch paint dry.Plans leaking for re-opening Canadian businesses in stages in as soon as two weeks.A right-wing group in the US who thinks the NRA is too "soft on guns" has been revealed as the puppet masters organizing all the "grassroots" protest against Americans being asked to stay indoors and not die or kill others.That piece of filth in Nova Scotia who planned and murdered more than 19 people, including an RCMP officer...Ed has comments.COVIDLAND Diaries continue....________________Real talk by Real people about Real issues - that's FU_Politics, restoring intelligent discourse, a sense of humour, civility and fact-based opinions to important conversations.

Ed goes for a drive and shares his uniquely-voiced observations of life in our present 'new normal'. Grocery store Pac-Man, idiots manhandling produce, line-ups for line-ups, insincere and temporary public appreciation for low-paid essential workers and more unvarnished truth from the guy who says what you're thinking.And since COVID-19 has hit almost everyone economically, our FU_Network & FU_Politics has been affected too. So consider supporting the only real independent Canadian media channel that isn't racist, clickbait-driven or batshit insane. Just the facts, dressed up with insightful opinion & debate without the jargon & pundits that make you want to stop following the news. FU stands for an attitude but also For Us. Big media has ignored the little people. This is how we fight back.Subscribe at patreon.com/funetworktvPaypal - one-time boosts to [email protected] Find ALL our various series under FU_Politics wherever you get podcasts.

We take a break from COVID-19 talk to share non-COVID talk - Pet Peeves, from the practical to the nutty, about faux-environmentalists, online help that isn't, idiotic managers and more. Fun & funny yet at times insightful & thought-provoking despite our best efforts.

If you have kids, it's part of the new reality - schooling them at home. Sure, there are online helps, but now the pressure's on to be both parent & teacher. You have experience with one, not the other. The kids want to play video games or hang with their friends online. How do you become an at-home parnt-teacher without losing your temper or your mind?Host Michelle Budiwski found the idea of schooling her kindergarten age and grade 3 and grade 9 kids at home indefinitely terrifying and overwhelming. But she and her husband have found a strategy that not only works for them but the kids are thriving with (at least for now - fingers crossed)!In this episode Michelle shares what they are doing to maintain structure, education, accountability and behavior at home during these uncertain times. Lots of tips that could work for you too.

"I think, therefore I am" is central to philosophy, but for many people it's followed by the question "Who am I?"How does identity fit into critical thinking, and how do identity fallacies work? Liana Kerzner (@redlianak) and Maus Merryjest (@wordofmaus) look at when identity is relevant, when it's not, and how to tell the difference.___________________________________FU_Politics, restoring intelligent discourse, a sense of humour, civility and fact-based opinions to important conversations.

It's no secret that Canada's facing a two-headed threat: to the health of our person and the health of the economy. Many are suffering economically as well as medically. The federal government has stepped up with a big relief package for businesses and individuals. But how do you access it?In this week's MATTER OF FACT Ishat Reza (@IshatReza) and Professor S (@RCI_101) we talk about layoffs and what some options are if you find yourself in this situation. Also we look at the governments response to the Covid crisis, including what relief is there for those who are facing layoffs. Instead of fails of the week, we’ve decided to do political and media wins of the week. Plus we end on a personal note of hope in this  time of crisis._____________________________Essential information. No jargon, no pundits, no newspeak, no tantrums. Real people telling it like it is, even when it's tough to hear, but with a sprinkling of humour to let you know that as bad as it gets, it's not the end of the world and we'll get through this!

Men & cooking - a love/hate relationship for some; for some pure love; for some pure hate; for many others - microwave!Guest host Ed the Sock (@edthesock) and a diverse panel who have very different relationships with food and food preparation. Comfort foods, how to make 'em, attitudes toward food, the tie between men, masculinity and cooking (that doesn't involve a barbecue)! If you're weary of all the discouraging COVID-19 discussions - this podcast is an antidote. Fun & funny. And practical in places too.____________________FU_Politics, restoring intelligent discourse, a sense of humour, civility and fact-based opinions to important conversations.

As if things weren't bad enough, the voluntary lockdown of partners & families in one home, with very little opportunity for stress relief, has resulted in an increase in cases of domestic abuse.What can you do when you're not supposed to leave the house but you're being abused? Are shelters safe when we're not supposed to gather? What online or phone services are available? What can the police & authorities do to help?Millions of funding have been released to prepare for a secondary scourge of abuse of loved ones, partners, children, elders, or even housemates while everyone is staying home to stop the spread. But much of the public messaging has gaps for people who are trying to stay home when home isn't safe. Rose Jardine and Michelle Budiwski (@butterflymbca) join host Liana Kerzner (@redlianak) to provide info on useful resources, survival strategies, and real talk for women and everyone else!_______________________________Frank, factual, fast-paced & funny - FU_Politics is the place for regular Canadians to hear real talk by real people - no pundits, no jargon, no radicals & no false drama.
