Ed the Sock (and Friends)

Men don't hesitate to give compliments to women (even if some aren't as complimentary as intended) - but men don't typically compliment other men or like being complimented. Why?

This week's episode: How does one have sex with a couch?; contractors; how Conservatives methodically screw everyone but their rich donors; scummy landlords; the double-standards attached to liberals (by some liberals too); why those 'thousands of jobs' A.I. will create are bullsh*t and more fun with Ed the Sock and Liana Kerzner!

This episode:  Ed the Sock and Liana Kerzner tackle a bunch of questions: what's the difference between Pro-Palestinian and Anti-Israel?; why the two sides in the 'protest battle' may not be saying what we think they are saying; how did Darth Vader wind up as a force ghost?; does Olympics boxer Imane Kalief harbour a secret that sets her apart (hint: Aquaman)?; why telling a woman "Ya Hot" is not a good compliment; whatever happened to the shampoo "Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific"? and other burning issues...okay, some are maybe only lukewarm.

Stephen Lautens and Steven Kerzner range through a number of current topics including Kamala's rise, why she is a better bet than Biden was and what she shares with Ronald Reagan; Trump crying foul - is he a 'Winner' or a whiner?; political campaigning in 2024; what Trudeau can learn from Kamala Harris and more.

We’re in an era of political cage-matches and friendships that have lasted decades are crumbling because of political fights. Why does this happen, and what can you do about it? Liana looks at social identity threats on this episode! 

There is a lot of focus on the important issue of women's safety. And of course, Men deserve to feel safe too - but so much societal messaging tells men to just "toughen up and shut up".  Liana has a different message.

This episode: Paris Olympics opening - the good, the bad and the arson; why Ed hates the Olympics and his suggestions for making them more interesting; Ed's truly bizarre dream; the rise of Kamala Harris and the flood of whiny MAGA tears; how Democrats can still screw this up (which they have a long track-record of doing); and Ed makes Liana say "eww." 

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.
