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!
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!
Over the holidays we're encouraged to be grateful for what we have, and sometimes, that's not a request, it's a demand. While feeling sincerely grateful is good for mental health, no one ever feels gratitude by force. Liana goes through where the lines are, and why gratitude can become resentment when it's not freely given.
If you're looking for another raucous, belligerent argument about the Israel/Hamas War - look elsewhere. Steven Kerzner and Stephen Lautens look at the current conflict from an unpopular position - a rational one. Frank truths are spoken about why the savage Hamas attack on October 7 has shattered Jewish people's sense of safety, why unsupported charges of war crimes against Israel matter, 'Holocaust fatigue', internal conflict among world Jewry, the real motivations of those calling for a ceasefire and ultimately, why Hamas is winning this war.
What is the 'rescuer trap' and why do so many men fall prey to it? Pretty sure you know the answer to the first part, find out about the second part to escape the cycle!
Why are people who are the most passionate about issues usually the people least informed about those issues?
The Israel/Hamas war - Stephen Lautens and Steven Kerzner support Israel's right to self-defence but find many faults in the way it's carrying it out.
Looking for talk about the Israel/Hamas war that isn't the usual talking points? We got it for right here!
Probably more than you think - and what you can do about it!
It's what everyone is talking about and in this episode, so are Ed the Sock and Liana Kerzner. The Israel/Hamas War. Expect it to get emotional at times. How can it not?
Stephen Lautens and Steven Kerzner discuss the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, Israel's response, possible reasons why this happened and possible outcomes for the region.
Not listening to Ed the Sock's All-Night Show on GTA's 94.9 The Rock (or at therock.fm or on The Rock app?)? Well, here's a sampling of what you miss weeknights, midnight - 5AM! Including: do vibrating anal beads improve your chess game and a caller who takes 'streaming' to the next level! There's more of these All-Star shows at therock.fm or The Rock app under on-demand!
Taylor Swift....why? Fun with banks! Job interview hell! How business schools are like a religious cult! And lots more! Did we mention Taylor Swift? *Note: this was recorded prior to the Hamas attack on Israel so no mention is made
Deflating the hype about the Nazi in Parliament! What does "unhinged" even mean? Hypocrisy in politics (shocker)! Hollywood back to work! The Star Wars TV series we want to see! This and more with Ed the Sock and Liana Kerzner.
There are time to be courteous, respectful and cooperative...and times not to be. Liana talks about both sides of the coin, and when it's not just okay, but recommended, that you act like an A-hole!
The Toronto Raptors, like every pro sports team, has wins and losses. How do stay focused and perform their best with such an up-and-down game results? Liana talks to the Raptors' performance psychologist Dr. Alex Auerbach about how he keeps the players' head in the game and how you can use those techniques to overcome your own ups and downs!
In the wake of the cock-up that saw a WW2-era Nazi get an ovation on Parliament, Pierre Poilievre is doing what he does best - using Canadians' general ignorance about our system of government to build his political fortunes. For now, it seems to be working. But for how long? Also, why it's time for Justin Trudeau to step down and Ontario gives Doug Ford a sound spanking.
There's a new documentary being released about the history of Muchmusic...and Ed the Sock is barely mentioned. How could the filmmaker exclude the channel's longest-serving VJ? In this full-length interview from Ed's All-Night Show on 94.9The Rock (therock.fm), Ed asks the producer/director, Sean Menard, exactly that, and delves into why it was so difficult to convince the powers-that-be that people still cared about Much.
