My guest, Patrick Trujillo, is a stand-up comedian, & a graduate of University of Northern Colorado earning his degree in Economics & English.  He is a corn-fed, American-made, Built-Ford-Tough kind of guest.  Thank goodness I sent that DM to the wrong person & we became friends as a result. 

 

We discuss which hills to die on, the freedom of speech not being free from consequence, & we get Patrick’s sneaky pick for the presidential race.  Patrick shares about his family life growing up, why BINGO is way better when you go with your mom, and how quick & painless it is to concede one’s ethics & morality to pay the rent.  Listen folks, it seems (to us at least) that you beat “the game” by being a person in the real world living a real life, not falling for your impending loss of humanity, pushing intentionally toward the imperfect ridges accenting our souls.  The imperfections of our lives that make life full of folly and discovery. 

 

I am educated by Patrick about transfer programs & school lunch through his own life stories of the value they can provide families.  We talk about p-hacking in public policy studies, how money is only real at scale (on either extreme), and Patrick digs deeper into how the heck life even works for Sean. 

 

My book — Things Trump Knows Best — is out now on Amazon! It makes a great holiday gift for your girlfriend’s superior lover.  Want to close the deal?  You need this on your nightstand. 

 

Thanks to Patrick for being a rad dude with a rad ‘tude.
