EJG The Weirdo

Today we’re talking about weddings, dress codes, awkward social expectations, food logic, and why I apparently can’t just wear sweats everywhere. I talk about: Showing up to a wedding in track pants and a hoodie Why my wife got absolutely ticked off at me Why I genuinely don’t understand dressing up The confusing appeal of weddings Funeral potatoes vs wedding cake Why pie is too much work Drinking...

Today we’re talking about dependence, independence, debt, parenting, hard work, and why struggle is actually necessary for growth. I talk about: Why depending on people can hold you back The difference between needing help and relying on others Why hardship teaches lessons success never can Parents protecting their kids too much Paying off debt the hard way Why accomplishment feels better when you...

Today we’re talking about anger, discipline, respect, parenting, and why it feels like nobody fears consequences anymore. I talk about: Why anger destroys lives The difference between anger and drive What “God’s wrath” actually means to me Why consequences matter for children Respect for parents, teachers, and adults Why modern discipline feels completely backwards Why so many teachers are burnt o...

Today we’re talking about gifts, flowers, Mother’s Day, birthdays, and why trying to surprise your wife feels like a full-time job sometimes. Seriously… how are people affording all these holidays back-to-back? I talk about: Why flowers make zero logical sense to me Trying to surprise someone who always figures it out Why gifts are weirdly stressful The two times I actually WANT people to lie to m...

Today we’re talking about honesty. Not “brutal honesty” where people use the truth as an excuse to be cruel — I’m talking about real honesty. The kind where you actually say what you mean instead of pretending all the time just to avoid awkwardness. Because apparently now, honesty automatically means you’re rude. I don’t buy that. From awkward social situations like telling someone they’ve got som...

Let’s talk about something no one seems to fully understand… hugs. Because I don’t get it. When are you supposed to hug someone? When are you not? And why is there no universal system for this? One second you’re going in confidently, next second you’re stuck in some weird arm position wondering if you just messed it up. And it doesn’t stop there. Goodbyes are just as bad. The pressure of ending a...

It’s been a minute. Not because I ran out of things to say — but because cancelling a $30 subscription felt like more effort than just… continuing the podcast. So here we are. This episode starts with a late-night ambush: a suitcase, a dark hallway, and a pinky toe that didn’t stand a chance. Pain was experienced. Screaming was suppressed. Sympathy was not received. From there, things spiral exact...

Let’s talk about something serious for once. Because what’s happening right now doesn’t even feel real. In this episode, I get into the direction Canada is heading — and why some of these policies make absolutely no sense to me. From medically assisted death being easier to access than actual mental health support, to the reality of safe injection sites and what that means for younger people… it r...

Be honest with me for a second. At what point did telling the truth become disrespectful? This episode dives into the line between honesty and rudeness — and why people confuse the two. From those awkward moments where you should say something (but don’t)… to telling a friend their new shirt looks ridiculous… to deciding who actually deserves your honesty in the first place. Because not everyone d...

Let me ask you a real question: If you’re liberal, would you ever consider voting conservative? Because it doesn’t seem like it. This episode dives into party loyalty, political bias, and why so many people refuse to even listen to conservative ideas — no matter what those ideas actually are. I talk about how leadership suddenly becomes “acceptable” or “brilliant” depending on the party label, not...

This episode starts with something simple: trying to get internet set up. And somehow turns into a full breakdown of modern life. I talk about how unnecessarily difficult internet companies make everything, why relying on other people sucks, and how expensive it is just to exist on your own in Canada right now. Bills, rent, groceries, gas, tools — it all adds up fast. From there, things take a tur...

I’ve always believed that forcing everyone to earn the same amount, regardless of effort, will never work. But this episode isn’t just a rant — it’s a thought experiment. I walk through the idea of whether fairness could exist if effort itself were measurable. What if exhaustion, mental strain, and workload could be calculated? What if everyone was required to contribute the same level of effort —...

I genuinely don’t understand why people dislike Pierre as much as they do. From my perspective, he’s one of the few leaders actually arguing for personal freedom, common sense, and accountability — yet people seem determined to shut him down without really listening to what he’s saying. In this episode, I try to figure out whether the problem is Pierre himself… or if it’s simply the party label at...

After hearing someone claim that conservatives would support sending $2.5 billion to Ukraine if it came from their leader, I had to set the record straight. This episode isn’t about hating Ukraine — it’s about understanding what being conservative actually means . Conservatives aren’t against helping people. We’re against spending money we don’t have, especially when Canadians are barely staying a...

Gaslighting has become one of those words that gets thrown around constantly — and honestly, I think it’s gotten ridiculous. In this episode, I break down what I was told gaslighting actually means, why people take it way too seriously, and how teasing, joking, and normal human interaction keep getting mislabeled as abuse. I talk about intent vs. impact, why words aren’t the same as violence, and...

I don’t understand coffee culture. At all. If something tastes awful the first ten times, why force yourself to like it—especially when it turns into a daily dependency people can’t function without? This starts as a rant about coffee (and why hot chocolate wins every time) and turns into a very honest spiral about addiction, habits we never question, why people pretend they know things they don’t...

In this episode, I talk openly about vaccines , why I think they’re necessary in some cases , and why I’m uncomfortable with how many are given at once , especially to infants. I’m not a doctor. I’m not pretending to be one. This is about logic, common sense, and personal experience , not medical advice. I explain: How vaccines work in simple terms Why I believe timing and quantity matter How the...

In this episode, I go straight at freedom of speech and why the idea of arresting people over words is completely insane. I talk about why offense is subjective , why you can’t legally police opinions, and why actions — not feelings — are the only thing that should ever be criminal. I use real-life examples from work, hiring, everyday conversations, and preferences that people love to label as “ra...

I break down why the idea that trillionaires should simply give away their money sounds compassionate, but collapses once you actually run the numbers. I walk through what happens when wealth is redistributed in theory versus in real life, why free money doesn’t solve structural problems, and how quickly incentives and behavior change when effort is removed from the equation. From there, I get int...

I figured out how to fix Canada in about five minutes. The solution: stop touching everything. Every time the government tries to “help,” it gets more expensive, more complicated, and somehow worse. Housing? Stop interfering. Environment? Stop interfering. Healthcare? Maybe stop going to the ER for colds. The whole episode is basically one long rant that starts with common sense and ends with me w...

Christmas is still the best holiday… but some of it is wildly overrated. I talk about why Christmas music should not be played year-round (my own family is guilty), why inflatable decorations are a waste of storage space, and how constant reminders of the holiday just make it harder to enjoy. If the lights are up and the air hurts my face, I already know what month it is — no soundtrack required....

This one starts with caffeine panic and ends in Alberta independence. I talk about drinking three to four Monsters a day, ask ChatGPT if I’m going to die, and apparently land on: “probably not, but don’t make it a lifestyle.” Which means I’m still drinking one at 7:40am because they taste amazing and water is for babies. From there, the rant detours into Toronto vs. Calgary, my high-school nightma...

This episode dives straight into the awkward collision between past dating life and dad life. I talk about why certain… names … used to be great, why having a kid changes everything, and how one innocent word can suddenly ruin the mood forever. From there, it spirals into nicknames gone wrong, Spanish honorifics I want no part of, and the two very specific situations where lying in a relationship...

This one goes all over the map in the best way possible — childhood pyromania, frog-torturing guilt, the White House being “Canada’s fault,” and how easy it used to be to believe whatever the newspaper said. From backyard fire bins to grown-up fact-checking, this episode jumps between nostalgia, confession, and a little healthy paranoia about what’s real anymore. I get into why unlimited informati...

This episode dives into something huge: the shift in Alberta’s self-defense laws and why it matters more than most people realize. I get into the insanity of homeowners being arrested for defending themselves, the double standards in politics, and why this new protection actually restores a basic human right — the right to keep your family safe. It’s blunt, intense, and unapologetically honest. If...
