TrentTakesOn 2.0
A podcast about a little bit of everything from an everyman. Join Trent as he takes on modern society, politics, fatherhood, health, self-improvement, and the journey to make the world a better place for future generations. Trent is a progressive everyman, swinging for the fences every single day. Hear stories from the 80s, takes on conservatism, the importance of listening and a veritable potpourri of jetsam from a sometimes fractured stream of consciousness. The first step to being a better human is opening up your mind and heart. Remember, we're all in this together. Intro and Outro music by The Ska'd Fathers written by Darren Murdock, Larry McCoy, Jason Jones, Brent Killey, John Tovaas and me...Trent Maddox. Artwork by my lovely wife, Emily.

Graham Platner...who is he? Why is he important?
And what does he have to do with the Trent from the title of the show?
Food for thought.

Where've I been? Right here...I'm rather boring that way.
Much of America is just surviving, not thriving. Are they blaming the correct people for their lack of success? Some are, most aren't.
Happy to be back.
-T
A massive, illegal slush fund, corruption at the department of injustice, the internal revenue service neutered, and choosing your voters.
You guessed it...I'm back to talk turkey about the Mad King.
Also, an update on my dog (she's fine).
Enjoy!

Dogs.
Happiness.
Love.
Just some of the good things in life.
Love,

It certainly seems the Supreme Court has opened the door for wildly racist gerrymandering with its latest decision. What does it mean and will it work?
Then I tell a story about an old dog that I really loved and a behavior he had which I didn't care for at all.
Stay strong,
-T
Both sides? Nah.
Freedom of speech? Nah.
Fair warning...EXPLICIT episode day.
Stay strong,

What's important? What difference does it make? How should we spend our time? What the hell is going on!?!?
Breathe. It's time to take a moment.

We don't call it out enough. Plain language. Honesty.
What's Trump's biggest issue: he's evil.
But evil won't win this battle.

Sadly, this isn't a podcast about one of my favorite versions of a sandwich (come at me, bro), but rather the Trump Always Chickens Out phenomenon. How long does it all last? What are we supposed to be focused on? What is truly important and in what amounts?
So many questions, so little courage.
Let's see what comes of it.
-T
Old injuries, No Kings, and the dumbest war ever.
Yes, it's been quite a week.
Stay strong, stay safe,
-T
Well...what else was I supposed to talk about?
Also, don't forget to find a No Kings event near you at nokings.org
Stay strong!

This episode is NOT about an actual spider assault...it's more about the sensation you feel when your brain is convinced there's a spider assault happening.
Oh, spoiler alert.
Enjoy!

Lies hurt us all.
Find the truth.

Well, another republican president has started another war in the middle east. Or maybe it was Israel? No story told in public regarding this "special military operation" (this is what you are required to call it unless you're the mad king or his drunken secretary of war) makes much sense. So what do we know for certain? There's a lot of aerial bombing/strikes and it's all extremely expensive.
At least the de...
A few words on the Paramount/Warner Brothers/Discovery merger. And the corrupt regime that allows/forces them to marry.
I feel all icky.

How do you respond to Trump's "State of the Union" address when he's talking about a union that only exists for the Mad King and his cronies? Well, start with calling it like it is: lies, projection, and corruption.
Oh, and bring your broom and mop, because we've got a lot to clean up.
Love,
-T
So the supreme court actually put a check on the Mad King. Tariffs, as Donny Dementia uses them, are unconstitutional and cannot stand. What comes next? What does it mean to the rest of us?
Prepare for the meltdown....
Stay strong, stay safe, we're in this together.

More chaos, more stress, more more more...as this crazy world spins faster out of control, we all need tools to combat the hopelessness. In this episode, Trent takes on those stresses with help from a little one.
During times like these, we need one another more than ever.
Be good humans,
Love,

So much happens in such a short time...and it's all by design. Today's episode features more gratitude to all of you, my friends, and then there's a new argument to share with your pro-Trump family and/or friends.
Also, racist distractions, Bad Bunny, the amazing island of Puerto Rico, how awesome Minneapolis is, criminality, and who's winning.
Always with love!

EDIT NOTE: I mistakenly named Coinbase as the ...
The midterm elections are ten months away...and the regime is in overdrive trying to ensure they don't get held accountable for their collective actions. I don't think we are anywhere close to allowing that to happen.
And I've got a challenge for you...are you up for it?
Love,
