Ed the Sock (and Friends)

Don't ask us to describe it, the show went all over the place connecting topics like that old Barrel of Monkeys game. Just listen and enjoy!

This Episode - It's like the classic movie 'Escape from New York' but the urban hellscape is downtown Toronto and instead of escaping, we headed into it! Ed and Liana describe the nightmare of getting into T.O. during rush hour on the torturous DVP, finding parking, dealing with service people who aren't into providing service and getting the bum's rush. Plus - Netflix's "Avatar: The Last Airbender" (is amazing)!

Within today’s political battles and social media landscape, it seems that lying is on the rise. And not even good lies, but obvious ones! Liana delves into the different motivations for lying (they’re not all bad), how to confront possible liars and how to handle it when you’ve been caught lying! Also – Jedis!

This episode - when idiots succumb to Darwinism, when did punk rock stop being punk rock, the newest thing bad parents are blaming their bad parenting on, Marvel's new Fantastic Four movie, Liana's insane tolerance for hot sauce, the awesome new He-Man cartoon, why women can't be jerks and Norm McDonald's change of heart about the OJ jokes that got him fired from SNL!   

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!

Processing negative emotions is a learned skill… that a lot of people don’t learn!

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"!
