Ed the Sock (and Friends)

Ed launches the show angry at an 80s earworm song he can't get rid of, identity online ID verification and lost pages of his autobiography. Also, Ed sings a classic TV theme song to get Sherry to pipe down, Billy the Kidd isn't dead, Elecia fails to understand the concept of "accident", Mike from North Carolina spends the day with a baby and Moose makes his first call to the show! Plus, peer counselor Liana Kerzner (It's Not Therapy podcast) brings us part two about how to handle rejection (ouch)!

Remember Orbitz drinks? Gooey liquid with 'flavour bits' suspended in it? Liana doesn't, but she will remember Ed's description of it. Also, why Ed hates touchscreens, why we don't even know that we're playing The Hunger Games for real and Heather, the saran wrap ninja. All this and more on this week's episode!

As Americans notch their country's 250th birthday, is there much for them to celebrate? Whereas in Canada, our 159th birthday rides a wave of Canadian pride. Plus Stephen and Steven discuss CUSMA, the Gordie Howe Bridge (to nowhere, thanks to Trump) and other issues in the news

Seth Rogan is re-booting the classic Canadian TV show "The Littlest Hobo" - and Ed explains why he HATES the original series! Why does Rotten Tomatoes let movie reviews from random nobodies sink movie scores? And which was the best "Ernest" movie? These and other vital topics on this week's Ed & Red Show!
