EJG The Weirdo

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 the policies behind it.I break down incentive, taxation, work ethic, and why punishing success eliminates motivation — not just for individuals, but for entire countries. We get into why investment leaves, why people stop trying, and why voting based on results matters more than voting based on team colors.And if you don’t vote at all?Then no — you don’t get to complain.This isn’t about blind loyalty.It’s about outcomes, effort, and common sense.HighlightsWould liberals ever vote conservative — honestly?Party loyalty vs real policy discussionWhy leadership is judged differently by partyIncentive, taxation, and work ethicWhy punishing success kills motivationInvestors leaving CanadaResults over labels

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 turn. I touch on a disturbing crime in Calgary, why living with your parents isn’t shameful anymore, and how the cost of living has completely changed what “normal” looks like.And somehow… we end up talking about flying porta potties and whether you’d rather survive or die in one.It’s a bit of a roller coaster — frustration, dark humor, reality checks, and random thoughts — but it all ties back to one thing: life doesn’t need to be this complicated.HighlightsWhy internet companies are infuriatingTrying to live independently in CanadaThe real cost of “adulting”Living with your parents (no shame)A shocking Calgary crimeCost of groceries, gas, tools, and billsA very unnecessary porta-potty thought experiment

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 — not the same job, not the same outcome — but the same input?I don’t support that system, and I explain why. But I explore it honestly, because it’s the only version of “equal pay” that even begins to make sense. From there, I contrast that with the conservative view: free will, personal responsibility, and rewards that scale with effort.This isn’t about attacking people for their choices. It’s about understanding incentives, sustainability, and why punishing ambition always backfires.HighlightsWhy equal outcomes always failA hypothetical system based on measurable effortWhy government-controlled income still breaks free willEffort vs. entitlementWhy ambition needs incentiveConservative logic vs. forced fairnessShort-term grind vs. long-term freedom

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 attached to him.I talk about leadership versus power, why accomplishments look different when you’re not in office, and how likability has somehow become more important than logic. I also touch on why the same ideas get praised or dismissed depending on who says them, and why honesty is often mistaken for arrogance.This isn’t blind loyalty to a politician — it’s frustration with how shallow political judgment has become.HighlightsWhy Pierre triggers such strong reactionsFreedom vs. likability in modern politicsParty loyalty over logicWhy opposition leaders get blamed for not having powerIntelligence, honesty, and being “unlikable”Why common sense doesn’t sell anymore

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 afloat.I break down why:conservatives would be upset no matter who sent that moneyCanada is not financially or economically healthy enough to give billions awayuncontrolled immigration is directly impacting housing, groceries, and cost of livinghelping others should never come at the expense of your own citizensgovernment spending should focus on what Canadians can’t do for themselves — not foreign warsIf you want to support Ukraine, you should be free to do that voluntarily. What you shouldn’t have is the government deciding for you while Canadians struggle to afford food, rent, and gas.Before helping anyone else, Canada needs to get its own house in order.

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 why learning to regulate how much you let things affect you matters more than inventing new labels.This isn’t about denying that words can hurt — it’s about recognizing when people are choosing to be offended instead of choosing resilience. If everything is abuse, then nothing means anything anymore.Sometimes it’s not trauma.Sometimes it’s just teasing.And sometimes, people need to toughen up a little.HighlightsWhat “gaslighting” supposedly means — and why it’s overusedTeasing vs. actual manipulationWhy intent matters more than labelsWords, offense, and personal responsibilityWhy filtering every sentence is exhausting and pointlessToughness, resilience, and choosing what affects you

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, and how half of adulthood is just confidently guessing. I get into spelling, words everyone acts like they understand, conspiracy theories, government corruption, and why questioning things doesn’t make you crazy—it just makes you curious.It’s unfiltered, self-aware, and all over the place in the best way.HighlightsWhy coffee tastes terrible and people pretend otherwiseForcing yourself to like things that become addictionsCoffee vs. hot chocolate (this isn’t even close)Why spelling, big words, and English in general are a messArrogant vs. ignorant (still unclear)What “conspiracy theorist” actually meansQuestioning authority without losing your mind

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 termsWhy I believe timing and quantity matterHow the immune system still has limitsWhy vulnerability during immune response gets ignoredA personal experience that made me question the “it’s just a coincidence” explanationI’m not anti-science. I’m not anti-medicine.I’m pro asking questions, understanding pros and cons, and not pretending everything is risk-free just because it’s common.This isn’t meant to convince anyone.It’s just how I see it — and why.

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 “racist” or “sexist” even when they’re not.I also get into:Why being offended doesn’t make you rightThe difference between preference and hateWhy experience should matter more than race or genderHow free speech exists because people disagreeWhy society keeps pretending progress never happenedThis isn’t polished. It’s not safe.It’s just honest.If that bothers you — that’s kind of the point.

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 into risk, responsibility, and why success gets treated like something that needs to be punished instead of understood. This isn’t about idolizing billionaires or dismissing people who are struggling—it’s about questioning easy moral answers that ignore economics, human nature, and long-term consequences.HighlightsBlunt, analytical, and uncomfortable by design.Why “just give it away” fails the moment math enters the roomWhat actually happens when everyone suddenly has free moneyRisk, reward, and why outcomes aren’t evenly distributedThe difference between generosity and obligationWhy taxing success doesn’t create fairness—just distortion

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 wondering how we got so dumb as a country.From red tape slowing down builders, to modular homes that cost a fortune, to trade deals that go backwards after every international trip—nothing makes sense. I get into why free healthcare is jammed with non-emergencies, why Alberta could thrive on its own, and why ticking off the president of the United States is the dumbest possible strategy for a country that relies on them for everything.It’s blunt, annoyed, and sprinkled with humor. If you like politics, common sense, or just watching someone slowly lose their mind over bureaucracy, you’ll probably enjoy it.Highlights“Stop helping” as a national policyWhy housing is slow: red tape, not buildersER is not for slivers and head coldsAlberta as Dubai 2.0Mark Carney: stupid or corrupt? Pick oneAlienating the U.S. = terrible ideaTrump, trade, and economic realityWho should run a country: rich, successful problem-solversBrookfield benefiting from every bill

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.From there it turns into highway etiquette: the wave of thanks when someone lets you merge, the slow walkers who stare as they block traffic, and why a tiny jog across a crosswalk is basic respect.Then: shoe culture. Designer sneakers, cleaning routines, and why $400 Jordans exist even though most people never play basketball.This episode ends with a small manifesto: no intros, no “don’t forget to subscribe,” no fake hype. If anything ever gets sponsored, it’ll be because it’s genuinely worth talking about — not because someone paid for enthusiasm.HighlightsChristmas music fatigue and overexposureBlow-ups, storage units, electricity billsThe simple courtesy of a wave on the roadJogging across the crosswalk like a decent humanShoe collecting vs. just wearing shoesPodcasts without ads, intros, or begging for follows

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 nightmare of everyone wearing Liberal socks when Trudeau won, and how I was scared to admit I was conservative. Now I’m in Calgary, I feel at home, and I honestly think Alberta could be like Dubai if it went independent — low taxes, high prosperity, and nobody freaking out about cow farts.I say what I think: most people can’t afford groceries, rent, gas, or life insurance. And yet we’re being told to worry about the environment. Meanwhile, my side jobs pay for survival, not luxuries. I rant, I laugh, and I get politically spicy. Liberals probably stopped listening on Episode 1. That’s fine. Life’s hard.

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 is not only acceptable — it’s encouraged.I get into honesty, ego, Christmas gifts, performance illusions, and why every guy quietly hopes his wife fakes enthusiasm sometimes. It’s blunt, self-roasting, and full of ridiculous honesty about how men and women talk, don’t talk, and pretend everything’s fine.HighlightsWhy “daddy” hits different once you actually become oneThe Latina nickname situation that crossed a weird lineThe two lies every man is 100% okay withThe truth about male confidence (spoiler: women built it)Why kindness sometimes is lyingChildhood lessons, adult cluelessness, and Monster energy drinks

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 information is both a blessing and a curse, how history books might age terribly, and why ChatGPT is basically my brutally honest co-pilot for everything I do. Then it turns political: media bias, Trudeau vs. Carney vs. Pierre, what counts as a real leader, and why public patience matters more than people admit.It’s chaotic, blunt, sarcastic, and somehow still philosophical — a full wander through childhood stupidity, adult skepticism, and modern politics.HighlightsChildhood pyromania and the “burning evidence” phaseFrog guilt and questionable country-kid behaviourThe White House fire (and my questionable history knowledge)Fact-checking in 2025 vs. blind trust in the pastWhy everything online feels true and fake at the same timeHow I actually use ChatGPT to keep me in checkPolitical patience: why some leaders get away with anythingMedia double standards and modern voter frustration

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 you’ve ever wondered why defending your own home became controversial, this breaks it down in the simplest, realest way possible.HighlightsWhy self-defense laws in Canada were backwards for so longHomeowners being arrested after fending off violent intrudersThe hypocrisy between what politicians say and what they’d do if it happened to themA breakdown of why government “gun grabs” don’t actually stop crimeThe real weight of being a husband and father when it comes to protectionThe difference between “extremism” and basic survival instincts

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 nobody says out loud. If warmer weather means no more snow, then what exactly is the problem? It’s sarcastic, unfiltered, and painfully relatable for anyone who’s ever lived through a Canadian winter and questioned their life choices.HighlightsThe first real Calgary snowfall and the instant regretWhy pea gravel sucks and Ontario actually has one thing figured outWinter beaters, icy wipeouts, and the misery of scraping windshieldsThe “if I had U.S. citizenship I’d be in Texas” momentA comedic, slightly chaotic take on global warmingWhy people who love snow might just have better cars than everyone else

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 brutally honest family, the infamous puddle-driving incident, and why taking people’s words literally might be the ultimate power move. It’s blunt, funny, and painfully relatable.HighlightsThe “I’m not mad” lie and why everyone hates itHow honesty fixes problems in 5 minutes — but hiding them drags it out for a weekGrowing up with a family that never sugarcoated anythingThe puddle-driving story and the chaos that followedWhy taking people’s words literally might actually solve argumentsBeing called out when you accidentally act the same way you complain about

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 why Canadians are fed up and finally starting to call out the nonsense.It’s blunt, irritated, and full of the questions everyone’s thinking but nobody in power wants to answer.HighlightsThe prime minister saying “who cares?” about the one issue he used to win the electionHow CBC defends everything Carney does — even when it’s indefensibleWhy Pierre gets attacked for things the Liberals do dailyDouble standards in political speech and media framingThe jet-setting hypocrisy vs. carbon-tax preachingHow much carbon has actually been burned from his tripsWhy Canadians are finally stepping up and saying “enough”

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, why some people chase status without understanding the consequences, and why I’m not rushing into leadership until I’m actually ready. Then I get into fame, acting, singing, and what I’d really do if I ever made “one big million-dollar hit.”It’s honest, ranty, relatable, and full of the stuff people think but never say out loud.Why young workers overestimate their skill levelThe danger of giving authority to people who only want powerReality of being a van driver vs. the fantasyInspectors with ego vs. inspectors with experienceWhy actors complaining about long hours gets zero sympathyMy dream life: big impact, no fameIf I ever made one hit song — I’m outHighlights
