What the hell is "67" and why are kids yelling it out to disrupt classrooms? It's Ed vs Red as they go toe-to-toe (not a sock joke) on young students' lack of respect in the classroom and what to do about it - if anything. Liana understands where the kids are coming from, Ed thinks they need a dose of STFU juice. Who will you agree with?!
The differences between Canada and the US as functioning democracies keep widening, and the reasons are baked-in to our history. Plus, Carney's handling of Trump and Canada Post can't read the room.

Was Jimmy Kimmel faking his emotional moment on his Tuesday night 'return' show? Ed the Sock and Liana Kerzner are on opposite sides of the fence. Plus, mango madman Trump declares Christians the most persecuted people on Earth (besides him, of course), how Christian nationalists love for Israel is like that Twilight Zone episode 'To Serve Man' ("It's a cookbook!"), the problem with principles and a boat ride to Hell!
Steven Kerzner and Stephen Lautens do a reality check on Donald Trump's Tylenol 'revelation' that 'cures' autism and frank talk on Israel, Hamas, Netanyahu and the two-state solution in the Middle East. Plus, Steven feels lied to by the Carney government.
Liana dissects one of the most pernicious and absurd accusation made about men - that every man wants to commit a sexual assault but most just don't act on it.
Stephen Lautens and Steven Kerzner discuss the skewed debate about the murder of US right-wing agitator Charlie Kirk, why America is losing to China and also the real reason there is no end to the war in Gaza.
Stephen Lautens and Steven Kerzner tackle news , politics and current events from a Centrist viewpoint.
Ed the Sock and Liana Kerzner cover the politically-sensitive renaming of Toronto's Dundas Square, how The Loud Left killed DEI, people who boycott thinking, why everything is so g*damn expensive and the octogenarian VTR repairman who broke Ed's perfectly fine machines - thus imperiling the digitization of hours and hours of Ed's Muchmusic content!
In this week's episode, Ed the Sock and Liana Kerzner talk about people who speak with confidence but are full of sh*t, why Gen X were the last generation to have a real childhood, misleading product names, that new & improved is typically the former not the latter and other subjects they use to swing between topics like Tarzan using vines in the jungle.
Stephen Lautens and Steven Kerzner discuss bike lanes - or Doug Ford's hatred of them; Pierre Poilievre is sinking....will the by-election on August 18 turn his status to 'sunk'?; the reason top legal firms, media corporations and elite universities are bowing to Trump's demands; the Trump takeover of Washington D.C. and what it means for the rest of the US; and more.
The best of the week from the All-Night Show!
This show goes in an unplanned direction as Ed's mention of a somewhat common injury a man may accidentally inflict upon his manhood leads to Sherry, Donna and Triple T adding to the discussion...which was never intended to be a discussion. Also, Chuck in the Truck is back with more tales of 'psychic occurrences' he has experienced recently and yes, he believes it. And Liana Kerzner...
This week Ed the Sock and Liana Kerzner break down the diplomatic masterstroke of PM Carney's statement on recognizing Palestine, bust-up the notion that "Judeo-Christian" is a real thing, talk about Hollywood reboots vs revivals, Superman vs Fantastic Four at the movies and sundry other topics along the way.

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
