"Don't make me angry...you won't like me when I'm angry." That's what David Banner warned people just before turning into TV's Incredible Hulk.Well, Neil's angry - and we do like him! Soft-spoken Neil takes a bite out of Andrew Scheer's fake tax cuts as he and Lauren expose Scheer's deceptive tactics and discuss political burnout and Neil talks with Gerry Nichols, former VP to Stephen Harper at the ultra-conservative National Citizens Coalition, about Stephen Harper, how conservatism has changed, about the election campaign and the party leaders, as well as the importance of reaching across party lines and realizing that we are all Canadians. Gerry is a straight shooter who pulls no punches about the state of Canadian politics. And in a special satirical twist, Neil closes with 'story time'. Hosts: Neil Waytowich - http://Twitter.Com/ThatsMrNeil Lauren Griffith - http://Twitter.Com/HalandLolo

Once, in the early days of TV, the message was Father Knows Best. But it's been a slip-slide from capable, professional, competent TV sitcom fathers to Tim Taylor, Al Bundy, Kevin James, Jim Belushi, Jay Pritchett, Danny Tanner... why does TV tell us that men are incompetent dads full of hare-brained schemes they require their wife to bail them out of? Oh and by the way, the guy is usually half a slob and his wife could win a beauty contest. What does this tell us about what society expects of men, and what men expect from society?Don't worry, it's funny too.Host:Ed the Sock - http://Twitter.Com/EdTheSockPanelists:Andrew Willis - http://Twitter.Com/AndyLandRadioMo Amir - http://Twitter.Com/VancolourStuart Benson - http://Twitter.Com/LeftHandStuHey, did you know you can take credit for us making more shows?

Andrew Scheer keeps pledging that he'll 'put more money back in our pocket'. It's a frequent promise by political leaders. But has ANY government ever really put a noticeable amount of 'money back in our pocket' without taking more of it from the other pocket? Does the middle-class ever really benefit from tax cuts - or do we all just pay for the promise with cuts to essential services?!Host: Steven Kerzner - http://Twitter.Com/StevenJKerznerPanel:Andrew McLeod, legislative burueau chief, thetyee.com - https://Twitter.Com/A_MacLeod_TyeeLiana Kerzner - political commentator, journalist, lecturer, Youtuber, a voice for social and women's issues - https://Twitter.Com/RedLianaKJohn Sheppard - Newfoundlander offering his political perspective from the point-of-view as a "lost" conservativeJustin Whitehead - political commentator on issues of economics, politics & applied ethics with a focus on cheque-to-cheque Canadians. - http://Twitter.Com/OriginalJDWThe NO BULLpen is an #FU_Politics Original PodcastNo pundits, no jargon, no zealots - honest talk with knowledgeable, opinionated people w/sense of humour. Listen & Subscribe to #FU_Politics at: iTunes - Rate, Review and Subscribe!https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/fu-politics/id1472299923 Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/4YQ4rklq8bcsmhTfqgj9jH YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBRvebbl4FVT9dWt0IdE8ccD1cOkPO5a7 Podbeanhttps://fupolitics.podbean.com Google Playhttps://play.google.com/music/m/Ilgcik5imfx5qwtzxivpyblb2p4 Stitcherhttps://www.stitcher.com/podcast/fun-the-fu-network/fu-politics Player FMhttps://player.fm/series/fu-politics-2521543 Tune In / Alexahttp://tun.in/pjtS0 RSS Feedhttps://feed.podbean.com/fupolitics/feed.xml

This week Neil introduces new co-host Lauren Griffith, and they speed date for co-hosts with the 2019 Federal Election, discuss how poor Andrew Scheer was, Twitter punditry, and rap battles for political junkies.  Neil talks with Max Fawcett about forgiveness in the age of social media and why politicians deserve a second chance after social media mistakes. We also discuss why Alberta has to change it's thinking regarding it's oil and gas resources to find the prosperity it seeks, Jason Kenney's belligerency and his national political aspirations, and the upcoming election. In the final segment, Neil talks with autism mom and advocate @AlineSociology about changes to the autism program at CHEO, about the disastrous management of the Ontario Autism Program by the Ford Government, the negative effect of these changes have had immigrant families, and what she would like to say to Todd Smith.

Do men express their manliness through what they eat? I know, it sounded like a dumb topic to me too, until I listened. A lot deeper than it seems, but aren't all of these episodes surprising?Hosted by: Ed The Sock - http://Twitter.Com/EdTheSockWith:Mensplaining Producer Hafeez Noorani - http://Twitter.Com/FeezyDoesItPaul Marlow - http://Twitter.Com/TallPaulsLifeMo Amir - http://Twitter.Com/Vancolour

Continuing our examination of the parties' slogans, messages and media we look at Jagmeet Singh & NDP's slogan ("HEY, WE'RE OVER HERE!), Elizabeth May and the Green Party (Can't recall their slogan, sorry) and the musical chairs between the parties. Plus, for some reason, we use up oxygen to talk about Maxime Bernier's Peoples Party of Canada and the 23 people who will vote for them.Host: Steven Kerzner - http://Twitter.Com/StevenJKerznerPanelists:Lauren Griffith - https://Twitter.Com/HalandLoloHafeez Noorani - http://Twitter.Com/FeezyDoesItJustin Whitehead - http://Twitter.Com/OriginalJDWPlease consider supporting this show & FU_Politics through http://patreon.com/funetworktv or Paypal: [email protected] The NO BULLpen is an #FU_Politics Original PodcastNo pundits, no jargon, no zealots - honest talk with knowledgeable, opinionated people w/sense of humour. Listen & Subscribe to #FU_Politics at: iTunes - Rate, Review and Subscribe!https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/fu-politics/id1472299923 Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/4YQ4rklq8bcsmhTfqgj9jH YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBRvebbl4FVT9dWt0IdE8ccD1cOkPO5a7 Podbeanhttps://fupolitics.podbean.com Google Playhttps://play.google.com/music/m/Ilgcik5imfx5qwtzxivpyblb2p4 Stitcherhttps://www.stitcher.com/podcast/fun-the-fu-network/fu-politics Player FMhttps://player.fm/series/fu-politics-2521543 Tune In / Alexahttp://tun.in/pjtS0 RSS Feedhttps://feed.podbean.com/fupolitics/feed.xml
