This week with Ed & Red: It's a big one! Mark Hamill chokes Ed! Bell Media axes another 4800 people - why can't management run a successful company? Larry David is a jerk, Elmo could kick his butt. Ed experiences the Mandela Effect, the smell of letters and numbers (for real), bad experiences with WWE wrestlers and the right way to make a tinfoil hat!

On this show with Ed the Sock and Liana Kerzner: The politics of lying, the failure of Canadian newsmedia, why the Conservatives can't "fix" the economy, Ed's unpopular take on Hong Kong Phooey, Captain Caveman and Happy Days.

Processing negative emotions is a learned skill… that a lot of people don’t learn!
Liana talks to psychology researcher Richard Contrada, Ph.D. of Rutgers University about how to channel being sad, angry, disappointed, ashamed or dejected into tools for positive change. 

The strange aspect of the judicial ruling on Trudeau's use of the Emergencies Act; Poilievre is leading in the polls? Not where it matters; Israel - Hamas War - the inherent problem of Pro-Israel and Pro-Palestine factions, how Canadian Jews are using the war to determine their Canadian electoral choices and how a desperate Netanyahu fell into the trap of Hamas and lost the moral high ground after the October 7 massacre.

On this episode with Liana Kerzner and Ed the Sock: Why smart people come to believe stupid things. Why do people lie, when they're always likely to get caught? How Bigfoot can aid in critical thinking. Online messages overload. The childhood terror inspired by Disney's "The Black Hole"!

 

On this episode with Ed the Sock & Liana Kerzner: OnlyFans models make their own beer but...it's kinda gross. Why movies about female or ethnic characters by female or ethnic directors tend to suck (except Barbie). MyPillow takes a dirt nap. And the end of a fruit-tastic era of candy!

 

Is there hypocrisy among the anti-Israel crowd? Okay, that was rhetorical. Ed and Liana also talk about superhero fatigue, whiny Christopher Nolan and former 90210 and Sharknado star Ian Ziering being swarmed by a gang of mini-bikers. Fun for the whole family!

How many times have you been told that you're ungrateful? Has it ever made you suddenly feel grateful? Compelled gratefulness is only likely to make someone resentful, not appreciative. Liana talks about the value of sincere appreciation vs forced capitulation.

Who can combine Kang, Jonathan Majors, Aquaman, Don Cherry and Matlock, with a pinch of why Zack Snyder's movies suck, and turn it into a podcast? Ed the Sock & Liana Kerzner, in this final episode for 2023!
