On This Week’s Episode
Hey, it’s Josh, and this is Episode #32 of the Josh Bloom Podcast! We are back again with another edition of “1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration,” covering May 16th through May 22nd, which corresponds to days 117-123.
This week we talk about what it would be like to see Oprah get into a fender bender, a commentator asks “What happened to the leader of the Trump Administration’s 34 counts,” and I reply with a reminder that the Supreme Court is a made-up thing for people who are good at doing homework and desire robes.
I finally address MAGA directly and apologize to them for using the pronoun “them,” as well as the words “pride” and “pretty,” I congratulate the leader for being one of the world’s foremost master manipulators and compare the behavior of humans to ants (not your Mom’s sister. The insect. A joke I also make later, but wanted to say again now.)
I admit to light hypocrisy and growing up mean, we get into the difficulty of having difficult discussions, which was inspired by the rock star I’m writing about, and what he told me I am not allowed to write about, and finally, we wrap-up the week, with suggesting that Bernie Sanders assume the role of quote-unquote “Go-To Dude” in the Buttigieg-AOC administration.
What do you think? Bernie as wise advisor? It could happen? Let’s just get through these 1461 days, shall we? I can’t wait to tell you more about the book I’m writing and I sincerely hope my editor doesn’t just throw it in the trash and stop taking my calls.
Hi. It’s Josh.
A few days before the inauguration, I was thinking about how I wanted to deal with the next four years.
Watch all of the original 1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration TikTok posts from May 9th-May 15th, 2025 (on YouTube!)
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.
Let's Go!
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.)
