TrentTakesOn 2.0

Trent Maddox

A podcast about a little bit of everything from an everyman. Join Trent as he takes on modern society, politics, fatherhood, health, self-improvement, and the journey to make the world a better place for future generations. Trent is a progressive everyman, swinging for the fences every single day. Hear stories from the 80s, takes on conservatism, the importance of listening and a veritable potpourri of jetsam from a sometimes fractured stream of consciousness. The first step to being a better human is opening up your mind and heart. Remember, we're all in this together. Intro and Outro music by The Ska'd Fathers written by Darren Murdock, Larry McCoy, Jason Jones, Brent Killey, John Tovaas and me...Trent Maddox. Artwork by my lovely wife, Emily.

    "Four-Week Warning!"

    Four weeks from today, I plan on sitting in the same place (or close to it) to discuss the results of the mid-term elections. How important are they (incredibly) and what would a democratic win would mean for the world (everything)? Let's discuss. -T

    "Murica Dot Guv!"

    The week in headlines 9-25 to 10-1. What a crazy busy week! Artificial Intelligence, more corruption than you can shake a stick at, continued abuse of power, and a brand-new level of gaslighting and disrespect to the populace...hard to keep up. Enjoy, -T

    "Perspective-ly Speaking"

    So much of life depends on how/when/where we see it. How important is perspective? I would argue it is where everything starts. -T

    "Only a 10% Chance?"

    Talking about 1984's James Cameron classic "The Terminator"...or just mentioning it as I talk about the "existential threat" of artificial intelligence. My least favorite subject? Nah. But I do have a healthy hatred of artificial intelligence and the techbros behind it. -T

    "For $5,000 More..."

    Remembering September 11th, 2001. Looking at an unconventional convention. And offering $5,000 to everyone if we win sounds a lot like a bribe, doesn't it? -T

    "Denouncing Stupid in All Its Forms"

    So the Republican led House of Representatives have voted to "Condemn Socialism in all its forms." Do they even know what that means? Of course not! Yes, I invoked Nazi Germany, too. Not sorry. -T

    "Yup...Poop Lettuce."

    A discussion on why this podcast is so focused on politics instead of what it was intended to be leads to the importance of the shift. It's a crazy time to live in America, and the poop lettuce proves it. Corruption and abuse must end. -T
