On This Week’s Episode

Hey, it’s Josh, and this is Episode #33 of the Josh Bloom Podcast!

This week on the show, we talk about how some people are metaphorical garbage people and how I have more respect for actual garbage people who risk their lives riding around on the back of that truck, and then the very next day, it’s “Garbage People: Part Two, Electric Boogaloo,” where I do mention Turbo, Ozone, and Kelly, who are not garbage people, unlike the commenters who continue to think they are clever by saying, “You aren’t ignoring the Trump administration if you’re making videos about the Trump administration!”

Then I reveal the unfortunate overheard conversation that the lovely woman at “The P” was having about how she loves the leader of the Trump administration. She gave me a free egg souffle that day. Not only am I not conflicted, but to me, this is a reminder to tolerate perspectives as long as free food is involved.

Speaking of perspective, I discuss the childhood pictures of my parents that I saw which helped me realize that I thought they acted like a******s because their parents acted like a******s which is why I understand what the youngest son of the leader of the Trump administration also known as Barron is dealing with.

I take a little time out to remind myself and you that we are more than 33% through year one of the final term of the Trump administration and then we wrap up with the very fun piece of news that is so worth digesting (literally) and that is the leader of the Trump Administration’s new nickname, which is “Taco!” You’ll have to listen to the end to find out why!

Hi. It’s Josh.

A few days before the inauguration, I was thinking about how I wanted to deal with the next four years.

I was exhausted by the news!

But I wasn’t interested in going completely uninformed. I wanted to use the “opportunity,” as I had decided to optimistically look at this timeline, to become more mindful and better train my mind to take in the “news,” and then let it fall away from my conciousness.

Efficiently and totally. The other aspect of this thought was to then take the personal time I was reclaiming through this process and apply it to more creative endeavors.

This series, for example!

1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration began. “Day 1” went viral on TikTok, so now I am in until 2029, right?!

If you are also someone aspiring to become the best version of yourself, please feel free to join me on this journey, which is sure to get weird around “Day 132,” “Day 877,” and “Day 1001,” etc.

For your pleasure (maybe not, let’s see), here is another compilation of posts, along with an exclusive intro and outro only available on the podcast (because I love you.)

As per usual, if you want to see video of the original TikTok posts that this podcast audio is derived from, you can watch them all on YouTube at this link. Sometimes seeing my face makes it better (maybe not, let’s see.)

Please follow the Josh Bloom Podcast on your favorite podcast app!

Thank you,

Josh

More about Josh:

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 an obituary of John Belushi. Strange for a ten year old? Yes!

My writing today is governed by deadpan sarcasm that goes granular on various cultural topics that I am deeply curious about. I hope you enjoy this sometimes snarky stream of consciousness.

I'm serious about not taking life too seriously.™
