1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration • Days 320-326
Hi, it's Josh.
Mindfulness. Optimism. Hope.
“1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration” is the series in which I endeavor to remind myself — and you, if you feel like it — to remain mindful, optimistic, and hopeful during these challenging 1461 days. We are living in trying times that are trying to take our time away from living. The goal with this show — beyond entertainment — is to reclaim that time, regain my mind, and focus on what is important.
I am not a self-help guru, I'm just trying to help myself.™

This week on the show...
On Day 320 I am reminded of the song “Take It To The Limit” by Eagles – not The Eagles – because I am reminded that the leader of the Trump Administration is taking us to the bottom, if there even is a bottom anymore, but when we get there we will know in full what it is like when we put people in power who indulge their worst impulses and empower and encourage their followers to do the same. Why am I pointing this out on a podcast that I say is about being positive? Stay tuned!
Day 321 is for celebrating 22 because on Day 321, we are 22% through 1461 days of ignoring the Trump administration. I mention on this day the disgusting and vile comments that the leader of the Trump administration made about the tragic murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, and how Rob reminds me of a tangential connection to the number 22. Stay tuned to hear what I’m thinking about that, but for now, let me remind you that when we reach milestones, it is time to reup our commitment to mindfulness, optimism, and hope.
On Day 322, I get to have a little bit of fun with a commenter who thoughtfully asks, “What’s it like to let someone control your everyday life?” and, although I am not a religious person, I do often wonder what it is like for people who give their lives over to the Lord – or a Lord – which obviously leads me to also wonder, in this case, why a follower of the leader of the Trump administration so willingly and blindly abides by all of this man’s misdeeds while at the same insinuating that it is me who is under the spell of this bag of bones. Like I said, I had a little bit of fun.
On Day 323, we address a very pressing issue among followers of the leader of the Trump administration, and that is whether you are an alpha or a beta. There is a third option that I bring up, which you will have to stay tuned to hear about. I had never heard of this popular rage-bait topic until recently, and I was thoroughly bored when I did. We discuss how these so-called alpha males don’t seem to realize how their delusional sense of self can be interrupted in an instant by the realities of life. Oh, those poor instant betas.
On Day 324, we discuss plaque, and yes, I am talking about oral hygiene. But once I am done detailing my own experience with my dentist and destistry, we quickly move along to why and how this has to do with the leader of the Trump administration. I can’t speak to whatever the hell is going on in this rotting dude’s mouth, but I can speak to the stupid plaques he put up at the White House to disparage former presidents because, of course he did. These are the actions of an asshole. See how much more I can say on this dedicated podcast!
Day 325 is one of my favorite days in the series. I address a commenter named Drummer Jimmy71, who is a drummer in a Def Leppard tribute band. I tease him, telling him that I am impressed with his dedication to authenticity by removing one of his arms to emulate, impersonate, and accurately portray Def Leppard’s actual drummer, Rick Allen. This drumming disciple of the leader of the Trump administration told me the next day that he loved the video. That made me feel good.
On Day 326, we wrap up the week with me coining the word “depreshing,” a combination of depression and depressing that I said accidentally and liked. Stay tuned for a discussion of this word that I hope you will consider incorporating into your own vocabulary, and if you are a marketing person, into your daily corporate speak. The reason I felt “depreshed” was because of the holidays, which I hate. If you hate them too, I hope you will be able to relate to what I am saying, and if you don’t, maybe buy me a coffee to convince me otherwise.

I published my first newsletter before the age of ten, written using my next-door neighbor’s typewriter, copied with carbon paper, and distributed to mailboxes on my bicycle.
One of my first stories was the obituary of John Belushi. Strange for a ten year old? Yes!
I'm serious about not taking life too seriously.™
