TrentTakesOn 2.0

Shipping?  Yes, we are, and it stinks.  Every holiday season we ship things we've never shipped before.  And we ship more every year.  Am I a shipping expert?  Nope...but I've got some ideas on how to ship better with less pain and strain.  

I can be very childish, and hopefully everyone will find it amusing...or at least harmless.

Happy Shipping!

Another rough week in the good old USA.  Even though it's not a lot of fun to think about it, we've got a duty to stay informed if we want to make things better.  Join me as I take on the week's biggest stories and share an opinion on vigilantism in America being approved by the Supreme Court.

Hey, at least I try to make it interesting and/or fun.

It's a SUPER-SIZED Friday Funday episode!

In a TTO first, I've invited Brian Andrew and Jesse Sandoval of LAClipsForum for the premier of INVASION OF THE POD PEOPLE!  Join us as we discuss our origin stories, the nuts and bolts of podcasting, and making sure our podcasts always have a soul.

Curious about starting your own podcast?  There are a few helpful hints in this discussion, so bring a writing utensil and notepad!

You can follow LAClipsForum on Twitter or Instagram @LAClipsForm and never regret it, their content is always fun.

It's a lovely, rainy day.  Well...lovely for me, because I like rain.  In this little episode, I explain where that comes from, what weather is like in southern Oklahoma, and why I'm grateful for a little rain in my life.

Don't drive fast in the rain, friends...and don't slam on your brakes, either.  Enjoy!

It's time to start caring about democracy, people.  And there's always a time to learn as much as you can about what forces are working against the future of our democracy.

What's a gerrymander?  How do they work?  Why are they bad?

All that and more in this special series.

This episode is dedicated to one of my favorite authors of all time, the incomparable Douglas Adams.  

"Hitchhiker's Guide" remains one of the funniest experiences of my life, and I cannot recommend reading it enough...even though I'm having a wretched day.

Enjoy!

Inspired by the guys at LAClipsForum, here's the Christmas tree episode I should have done before Thanksgiving to make it timely...but I didn't...for...reasons.

Hear my real vs. fake take, decorating tips, and a lot of childishness around "flocking."

Sorry, mom.

Enjoy!

Note:  I failed to mention it is important to not put your real (or fake) Christmas tree near a working fireplace...for obvious reasons.

This was a horrible week in the news.  Ringing my hands, shaking my head, showing my frustration with "leadership" in this difficult time.  These are dark days.  My wife tells me she's concerned about my stress level, to which I reply "I don't make the news, I just talk about it."

Maybe things will turn around, but until they do the weekly review is essentially a horror show recap.  Stay engaged, friends.  Love to all.

Dedicated to my Valkyrie Uff Da!   Pagan rituals?  Assimilation?  Confusion?  Did I learn anything?  

So many questions, so much fun as I learned about the Krampus in folklore and in modern celebrations...honestly, I enjoyed this a lot.

Happy Friday, and an early Happy Krampennacht!

The answer, of course, is to vax.  In this VERY SALTY (salt factor: 8) episode of TTO, I'm pretty darn upset about a whole lot of stuff around vaccinations and the people who have politicized them...and the people who are refusing to get them.  

If you're unsure about my stance on the vaccination issue, this should clear it right up.  Hopefully all the bleeps are in place...cuz I had a few moments.
