You can tell I really wanted to talk about daylight savings time, but I let it go...eventually.  And what happened next was a trip down memory lane to a simpler time, when puppets would sing songs and have lovely interactions with people young and old...and teach you all kinds of wonderful things along the way.

Should kids be learning from puppets today?  Some already do!  And they absolutely should.

On the first ever "This Week in 5" Sunday recap, I recap the biggest news stories of the week that was November 1st thru 7th.  What went down?  What did it mean?  Can I cover all five in five minutes?

Then I have a little rant session about messaging and the first promise ever made in America.  Take a moment and hear me out, I end with a lovely flourish...difficulty 3.5.

Questions or comments welcome, find me on Twitter @TrentTakesOn 

It's Friday Funday! 

Can I review a dozen films in 15 minutes, while squeezing in asides and attempting to be charming?

Spoiler, I can't...but it was fun trying.  I talk about some great movies, and admit to not seeing two films considered classics by many.

This episode also features the first use of alternate intro/outro music "P. B. R." by the Ska'd Fathers.  Written by Larry McCoy, Darren Murdock, Jason Jones, Brent Killey and me...Trent!  

Have fun!  It's Friday!

Humans have been running around on this planet for what feels like a really long time.  The earth itself would beg to differ.  

What's more human than celebrating our greatest invention?  

Do you know what I think the Greatest Invention of Mankind is?  I bet you've got a pretty good idea.

Special same day episode dedicated to my Virginia family, Thy & Felicia.

This one's a bit raw, very real, and ends with an absolute banger.  Bear with me as I pour out my heart right after I pour out my thoughts.

Nutshelling the off-year election in VA & NJ.  How did Younkin win?  How do democrats recover?  Are we learning anything?  I know I am, and I'm happy to share.

The way we watch our favorite shows sure has changed.  I never envisioned doing things this way, but streaming services are the norm not the exception.

And NOBODY binge watches like my lovely wife.  I chat about how we binge watch, why we binge watch, and what it all means on this bite-sized bingeable episode.

What is there to say about "Truth Social Media" except...sounds familiar to those of us who know a little bit about the old Soviet Union and George Orwell's seminal novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Who's afraid of a little authoritarian disinformation?  We all should be.

Democracy is under attack in the United States.  So what do we do about it?  

I'm not sure, but I've got a few ideas, and most of them are a lot of hard work.

Some things get me more riled up than others.  And attempting to hide real history, its continued impact and the truth is near the top of the list.

Join me as I have a little rant about the racism at the heart of the "ban critical race theory" movement.  Knowledge is good.

What is perfection?  Is it something we should actually strive for, or simply unattainable?  

I've got a few imperfect thoughts.
