Trent is a progressive everyman, swinging for the fences every single day.

Episodes

"Red Cards for Everyone" 07.07.2026

Platner, Murica250 and World Cup Shenanigans.  What a week of ugly business.  Platner needs to drop out immediately, the 250th was a total disaster, and the World Cup Tournament was cruising along just fine until someone decided to put his tiny, filthy hands on it.  <Insert primal yell here> - T

"Ode To True Patriotism" 03.07.2026

July 4th weekend is a time to show our patriotism.  But what does that mean?   I have some thoughts. Enjoy,  -T

"A Not-So-Supreme Court" 01.07.2026

SCOTUS is up to its usual nonsense.  Taking on the activist conservative justices is a full-time job all on its own.   How do we fix it?  Amazingly there's plenty of options...but winning elections comes first. Be safe, -T

"The Swampiest Pool in the World" 24.06.2026

Double the "E for explicit" in this episode, as I really went for it.  What can I say?  Sometimes there's no substitute for some good old-fashioned vulgarity.   More talk about corruption and abuse by those chosen to protect us from those very things will make a fellow quite cross.  Enjoy the saltiest of episodes. With love on number 101! -T

"The Word You Are Searching For Is SURRENDER" 17.06.2026

Well, it looks as though we've got an end to the US/Iranian War, and it's probably not the one you thought we'd get.  The Memorandum of Understanding is being signed, but what's in it?  More importantly, what's NOT in it? Oh, and a quick word on the upcoming midterms and the f%$kery this regime is engaging in to prevent being voted out of power. Enjoy,  -T

"The Platner of It All." *see note 10.06.2026

*FOLLOW UP EPISODE TITLED "RED CARDS FOR EVERYONE" PUBLISHED 7/7/26 INTENDED TO BE A COMPANION TO THIS EPISODE* 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. -T

"Be Mad at the Right 1%" 02.06.2026

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

"Project $1.776B" 20.05.2026

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! -T

"A Different Dog-Themed Episode" 13.05.2026

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

"The Misbehavior of Old, Territorial Dogs" 05.05.2026

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

"I Will NOT Be Gaslit on This." 28.04.2026

Both sides?  Nah. Freedom of speech?  Nah. Fair warning...EXPLICIT episode day. Stay strong, -T

"Wisdom is as Wisdom Does." 22.04.2026

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. Love, -T

"Just Call It Evil" 16.04.2026

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. -T

"Talkin' TACOs!" 08.04.2026

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

"Back in the Pain." 31.03.2026

Old injuries, No Kings, and the dumbest war ever. Yes, it's been quite a week. Stay strong, stay safe, -T

"Edwin Starr and The Temptations Had It Right" 25.03.2026

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! -T

"Preparing for the Spider Assault" 17.03.2026

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! -T

"Lies Are More Than Just Untruths" 11.03.2026

Lies hurt us all.   Find the truth. Stay strong, stay safe,  -T

"Stupid People Start Stupid Wars" 06.03.2026

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...

"Free Market Capitalism? I Don't Think it Exists..." 27.02.2026

A few words on the Paramount/Warner Brothers/Discovery merger.  And the corrupt regime that allows/forces them to marry. I feel all icky. -T

"State of Disunion 2026, Bring a Mop" 25.02.2026

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

"Loser." 20.02.2026

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. -T

"The Magic of a Crossword Puzzle" 15.02.2026

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, -T

"Throw Away People" 10.02.2026

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! -T  EDIT NOT...

"Desperate People Do Desperate Things" 04.02.2026

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, -T
