EJG The Weirdo

The first real Calgary snowfall hits, and this episode is one big rant about why anyone chooses to live like this on purpose. From freezing mornings to useless pea gravel, icy sidewalks, winter beaters, and the universal suffering of brushing off your car at 6 AM, this is a full breakdown of why winter life makes zero sense. And yes — it goes into global warming, but from the brutally honest angle...

This episode dives into one of the most universal relationship headaches of all time: when someone is clearly mad, obviously mad, undeniably mad… and still says, “I’m not mad.” From emotional landmines to week-long silent storms, this rant breaks down why pretending everything’s fine never helps and how honesty could save everyone days of tiptoeing. You’ll hear stories about growing up in a brutal...

Another day, another political update that makes zero sense. This episode breaks down the wild double standards in Canadian politics — especially how the media bends over backwards to protect Carney while tearing Pierre apart for things Carney says himself . From the now-infamous “who cares?” comment about Trump, to the endless globe-trotting, to the carbon-tax hypocrisy, this rant goes deep into...

I dive into the strange world of people who want authority but have zero clue what comes with it. From young apprentices who think they’re journeymen, to inspectors who suddenly love the taste of power, to actors complaining while cashing million-dollar cheques — this episode is about responsibility, ego, work ethic, and reality checks . I talk about what real responsibility actually looks like, w...

This one goes everywhere: busted microphones, jealous stares at million-dollar houses, and why people love hating anyone more successful than them. I get into the bad math politicians and media throw around, the truth about wealth resentment, and how the younger generation got handed an economy that makes homeownership feel like sci-fi. From there, it turns into a full breakdown of taxes, politics...

I rant about people who stop in doorways (and Costco aisles), a 10-minute drive-thru purgatory at the wrong window, and street-blocking small talkers. Then we pivot to local and federal politics: why I started paying attention, why home ownership feels impossible, and why I think Canada needs common-sense fixes now. It’s blunt, fast, and very Calgary.

I riff on why a sudden, unstoppable end (like a nuclear strike) weirdly doesn’t scare me—because if we all go together, there’s nobody left to mourn. From there I talk about pain and “interesting experiences,” why honesty beats getting caught, how wives have a sixth sense, and why “anyways” isn’t a word. It’s raw, a little dark, and very straight-up.

I go off about my #1 social pet peeve: people who never respond. If you’ve ever called, texted, voice-memo’d, and still gotten radio silence, this one’s for you. I talk phone etiquette (why even have a phone if you don’t use it?), why long text wars are a trap, and when a quick call saves everyone’s sanity. From there, I get into social battery management, honest boundaries with family, and how pe...

I pick up where I left off—this time taking on the word “overstimulated.” Do we really need a clinical label for “there’s too much going on,” or are we complicating what used to be simple? I unpack when that feeling is real, when it’s an excuse, and why plain language (“I’m overwhelmed”) helps more than buzzwords. From there I zoom out: phones, social feeds, and even ChatGPT have rewired habits an...

“Triggered” gets tossed around like confetti—and it’s emptied the word of meaning. This episode digs into why that bugs me: not because people don’t have real pain, but because slapping “triggered” on every disagreement shuts down thought, conversation, and growth. I talk through what counts as genuine harm vs. simple discomfort, why emotions still need steering, and how tough love and patient coa...

This one starts off with a simple question — did people in those old medieval movies actually smell that bad? But it turns into a full-blown rant about how crazy modern life really is. From pointless power bill fees to the tax system that punishes success, to AI coming for every cushy desk job out there — it’s a mix of old-world honesty and new-world chaos. It’s about working hard, thinking for yo...

This episode dives headfirst into Canadian politics — no script, no sugarcoating. From Doug Ford ticking off Trump to Mark Carney’s economic mess, it’s a raw breakdown of what’s really going on behind the scenes. Why does Canada keep making the same mistakes? Why are we in more debt than ever? And what happened to basic common sense? It’s an honest talk about frustration, leadership, and how a cou...

Let’s be honest — TikTok isn’t helping anyone. It’s a trap disguised as entertainment, a scroll that never ends, and somehow we convince ourselves it’s “news.” This episode breaks down how endless scrolling kills time, focus, and real connection — and why checking someone’s story isn’t the same as actually knowing them. It’s about attention, comparison, fake connection, and the quiet addiction we’...

This one dives deep into what participation trophies really do — and how they quietly chip away at the reason we try in the first place. From sports to the trades, life runs on incentive, struggle, and the lessons buried in failure. If everyone gets the same reward, what are we even chasing? This episode explores how losing can actually be the greatest teacher, why pain and progress need each othe...

This episode starts off one way… and takes a wild turn. What begins as a rant about bad drivers becomes an unexpectedly deep (and hilarious) appreciation of K-Pop Demon Hunters . From refusing to watch it to calling it “exceptional,” this review dives into what makes the movie surprisingly great — from its vocals and music production to how underrated the performers are. There’s also a nostalgic d...

Everyone's Got ADHD It feels like everyone suddenly has ADHD—or at least says they do. This episode digs into how over-diagnosis, medication culture, and social media have blurred the line between real ADHD and everyday distraction. It’s an honest, funny, and sometimes uncomfortable look at how mental health labels have become trends, how anxiety gets romanticized, and why “tough love” might w...

Why Equal Rights Doesn’t Exist Equality sounds simple — but is it? This episode takes a hard look at what “equal rights” really means in today’s world, and how modern society has blurred the line between fairness and favoritism. From workplace incentives to gender expectations, the conversation questions whether equality has become more of a slogan than a standard. It’s an honest reflection on bal...

In this unfiltered and hilarious episode, EJG dives into everything from Katy Perry allegedly dating Justin Trudeau (and why that’s a downgrade) to global warming, AI girlfriends, and the death of real-world standards. He takes listeners on a wild ride through Canadian pride, climate logic, and the dangers of digital perfection — explaining why snow should disappear, why Tim Hortons betrayed Canad...

“Laughing Through the Darkness: Dave Mowry on Comedy, Mental Health, and Finding Light Again” In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, EJG sits down with comedian and mental health advocate Dave Mowry , who opens up about his journey from homelessness and bipolar disorder to rediscovering purpose through stand-up comedy. Together, they dive deep into the realities of mental illness, marriage, succ...

I’m Sorry… You Bought That? Some cars on the road just make you stop and ask why? In this episode, EJG dives into the mystery of vehicles that probably should’ve never left the design room (looking at you, Kia Soul and Nissan Juke 👀). From hideous paint choices to questionable design decisions, nothing is off limits. But it’s not just about cars — we get into the messy truth about electric vehicl...

Pee Theory & Power Tools (with Bob LeMent) Static Radio’s Bob LeMent drops in and we go full curiosity-mode: gas-pump urinals (for efficiency!), splash-free bathroom “engineering,” and the eternal battle between grit, ice, and cracked Calgary windshields. We trade trade-stories (HVAC bravado, glove mishaps, ladder wounds), wander into pee-powered batteries, Aquaman slander, and why hands-on sk...

Are Billionaires Really That Bad? — I riff on incentives, taxes, and why most people don’t spend a decade becoming a doctor “just for fun.” From managers losing motivation under higher tax brackets to how founders reinvest (and risk) their way to huge outcomes, I make the case that success and wealth aren’t automatically evil—and that policy has trade-offs. We hit doctors vs. McDonald’s wages, why...

Gay Bacon – From late-night snack binges to the glory of rainbow strip candy (a.k.a. “gay bacon”), I dive into my unhealthy love for junk food, why Reese’s Fast Break is the king of all chocolate bars, and how Domino’s cheesy bread has ruined my self-control. Along the way, I rant about diabetes scares, leftover hate, plants taking over the house, and even which celebrities I think would make the...

Why the Tattoos – From teardrop tattoos that scream “arrest me” to full-body ink that covers every inch of skin, I break down the weird, wild world of tattoos—and why some choices just don’t make sense. Along the way, I rant about goth phases, mohawks, my wife roasting my tattoo ideas, and even how my dad’s “you’re not special” talk turned into surprisingly good advice. It’s funny, blunt, and a li...
