    Episode #40: 1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration | July 11-July 17, 2025
    Jul 18 2025
    Watch all of the original 1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration TikTok posts from July 11-July 17, 2025 on YouTube!+++On This Week’s EpisodeThis week on the show, I start out on Day 173 challenging myself as I stated previously to be more vulnerable, and so I talk about not being much of an older brother. This was difficult, but worth it, because now I think that I am just so awesome for being able to be so vulnerable. I hope vulnerability turns me into even more of a conceited b*****d. What’s does this have to do with Marvin Gaye? Keep listening!Then I discuss a chat I had with a dude at the track and how that led to remembering someone’s name for what seems like the first time. I am not good at remembering names and I tell you why. It has to do with a personality disorder that I am working on. Suprise, suprise. His name is Frank, by the way, and we drive the same car. How’s that for a cliffhanger, huh? Excited now? Great! What does this have to do with the leader of the Trump administration? Stay tuned!Speaking of not remembering names, Day 175 is the one year anniversary of the tragic passing of a firefighter at a political rally in Pennsylvania where someone we know claims to have taken incoming fire of his own. Whatever you think about what happened that day, that someone is not thinking about the firefighter. This day started with a post I made claiming that if a reporter asked the leader of the Trump administration the name of this firefighter, he had 0% chance of knowing that name. This led me to address a commenter about this topic on Day 175, and then to respond to yet another supporter of the leader of the Trump administration later that day. I have included all of this back and forth for your pleasure. I hope it is pleasurable.The day is lighter on Day 176 when we celebrate the completion of 12% of 1461 days of ignoring the Trump administration. As per usual, I like to use these milestones to remind us all of what we are doing here. This was also the day that the leader of the Trump administration crashed the stage at the World Cup. If you’re into hearing about jerk-offs showing up where they’re not supposed to be, stay tuned!On Day 177, I get back to vulnerability time when I admit to wasting time and discuss my endeavor to develop brisk reactions that are the best responses. What does that mean? I made it up that day, so I am still figuring it out, but I welcome any and all feedback about how I can get better and better and better at this. I also use the occasion to bring up Morris Day of The Time. I like to bring up Morris Day whenever possible. On Day 178 we discuss a discussion. I was on the phone with my friend for two and half hours and I proclaim it to be a perfect conversation. How does one have a perfect conversation? Stay tuned. I will explain. I will also remind you that Bjork wore a swan dress once. Wasn’t that fun?And then on Day 179 I calm down a commenter named Lynda who was taken aback to find out that we aren’t already ten years into the Trump administration. I let her know that I understand, but as I think about it now at 6:52 AM, I guess that it has been ten years if you count all the way back to when he came down that escalator. If only he had tripped. Oh, well. I am vulnerable, so I can reveal that dark thought.+++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 232,” “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 ...

    Episode #39: 1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration | July 4-July 10, 2025
    Jul 11 2025
    Watch all of the original 1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration TikTok posts from July 4-July 10, 2025 on YouTube!+++On This Week’s EpisodeThis week on the show, the leader of the Trump administration gives a speech where he states that he hates Democrats. Like, really. He says, “I hate them.” Nice, right? So if you were wondering if you should call your senator, don’t bother. People who hate are not people who can be negotiated with. Let’s just ride this out! The next day, I criticize the other side of the aisle for posting about the floods in Texas that have claimed the lives of dozens of young children at summer camp. I saw people posting that Texas was now quote-unquote “finding out.” I find that behavior and talk to be just as hateful as what the leader of the Trump administration says. Garbage people are everywhere. Except for Philadelphia, it seems. If you know you know. If you don’t, well, the garbage collectors are on strike in Philly. Okay?Special note: You will hear a short satirical video I made about the farewell concert event by Black Sabbath last weekend. The reason I include it here is because on Day 168, I address a commenter who somehow found a way to make my ridiculous video political. I take the opportunity to point out a couple more examples of how we are living in times when now literally every single word is political. But that won’t stop the fun. You will hear another short satirical video afterwards, because thankfully, there are still some people out there who want to play.On Day 169, I coined the phrase “empathy for idiots,” because I realized that empathy isn’t just for people who suffer (like me!) It is also for dum-dums who don’t realize they are dum-dums and I give examples of characters from some of my favorite stupid comedy films. I think you will understand the concept right away and recognize the idiots in your life to empathise with. Then things get real for a few days when I begin to discuss my journey with psychotherapy as an individual who sacrifices and suffers and sacrifices and suffers and… well, you get it by now. The next day, I reveal that my therapist wants me to think about being more vulnerable in order to better connect with people, and so that is what I am attempting to do on Day 172 as I discuss the party I attended a couple of weeks ago and the effect it had on me. Don’t worry, I manage to somehow connect this to the song “Walk Like An Egyptian.”+++Hi.

    Episode #38: 1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration | June 27-July 3, 2025
    Jul 4 2025
    Watch all of the original 1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration TikTok posts from June 27-July 3, 2025 on YouTube!+++On This Week’s EpisodeThis week on the show, I have had it with political pundits on the left who continue to wonder why the right acts the way they do. They already know the answer, but they keep asking the question so they will have something to talk about. I get it, but just because I get it, it doesn’t mean I like it!Then, I tell a story of spending an afternoon entertaining the conservative parents of my friend and their attempts to see if I would talk s**t about the leader of the Trump administration. You won’t want to miss this! Day 161 is very special, because we go to 11. That’s right 11, 11, 11. We are 11% through 1461 days of ignoring the Trump administration, so of course I have to discuss “Spinal Tap” and how the Trump administration is a total s**t sandwich.Did you know that highly intelligent and well-educated people are more susceptible to the manipulation and indoctrination techniques of cults? Well, they are! If you want to find out what I’m talking about, great, you’re already listening. Spoiler: It is not about the leader of the Trump administration’s cult, and it’s not about the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi aka “Sexy Sadie” either. Then things get really fun, when I take Day 163 to address a commenter named “Chief” and recommend to him that he spend some time listening to “It’s Alright To Cry,” a song by the oldest living former NFL player, Rosey Grier.On Day 164, I contemplate bad people, and more specifically, the degree to which bad people are bad. Of course I bring up one of the leader of the Trump administration’s most admired serial killers, “Dr. Hannibal Lecter.” And finally, on Day 165, I discuss the passage earlier today of the bill that may kick 17 million people off of their health insurance and why and how we will survive the leader of the Trump administration and the Trump administration, and be better for it.+++Hi.

    Jun 27 2025
    Watch all of the original 1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration TikTok posts from June 20-June 26, 2025 on YouTube!+++On This Week’s EpisodeThis week on the show, a Black woman says she’s sorry to me at the trash can, and I explain how this moment that she couldn’t care less about caused me to consider the Black experience. Then, I am very excited to talk about the return of the Talking Sopranos podcast, which I highly recommend and found the social commentary discussed on the surprise return episode to be worthy of Day 153 of Ignoring The Trump Administration. Then, I just couldn’t help myself, but we had to discuss the leader of the Trump Administration’s speech in which he said, “We love you, God,” because it is the strangest words I have ever heard. I just couldn't help myself the next day either and had to discuss the continued theory that what happened to the leader of the Trump Administration when he injured his ear was staged. I mean, it happened on a stage.I couldn’t help myself for a third day when the leader of the Trump Administration had a meltdown in front of reporters and said the f-word! Not on a hot mic or anything. While he was being interviewed! I am pretty sure that I go several days without cause to use the f-word, but then again, I am not constantly f-ing up! It was too fun not to say it on this day, however, so I did. I give an extensive lesson on how to deal with trolls online, and it is not my block and delete method. It is a slightly more involved way to subtly change a person’s life. If that sounds really deep and meaningful, great. Finally, I reveal what society’s biggest problem is, and you might think that I say the leader of the Trump Administration, but you will have to listen to the end to find out for sure.+++Hi.

    Jun 20 2025
    Watch all of the original 1461 Days of Ignoring The Trump Administration TikTok posts from June 13-June 19, 2025 on YouTube!+++On This Week’s EpisodeThis week on the show, we talk about inventing ourselves and how that topic is related to the band R.E.M. and what that has to do with the two roads people seem to travel when they engage with me about ignoring the Trump administration. We move on to some sick stuff that I am partially regretting discussing, but it did lead me to mention Eddie Van Halen and the NAACP, so it can’t be all that bad. We celebrate being 10% through 1461 days of the Trump administration, why Father’s Day reminds me of Michael Landon of Little House, and the success of the No Kings Day protest, along with the parallel failure of the leader of the Trump administration’s birthday parade.Speaking of No Kings Day, a commentator named Jack gets all up in my grill about it and I have to explain a few things to him while using Independence Day star and famous face-slapper Will Smith as part of my argument. We discuss the 3 1/2 % Rule, why it is important to know about and how it relates to the Daryl Hall and John Oates mild banger, “One on One.” Speaking of bangers and calling back to last week’s unfortunate passing of Brian Wilson, I mention the hit song “Barbara Ann” by The Beach Boys and how it is related to our upcoming war with Iran. Have you heard that we’re probably going to war? Thanks, leader of the Trump administration! Finally, I make a plea for the the gold leaf installed in the oval office to remain after the leader of the Trump administration is gone, just to show that we have more important issues to deal with.+++Hi.

Yes, I am referring to the electric car guy.I discuss how instead of trying to change the world, we can change one person’s life every day by simply being decent. Give it a try and let me know how it worked out in the comments.Speaking of comments, a commenter commented on that video by telling me a about the good deed that was done for her by a co-worker and I compare the satisfaction one gets from doing good deeds with that of buying a Lamborghini.Of course, I had to bring up Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Wooderson from Dazed and Confused. Stick around to find out why.I contemplate if the government will have to send us checks to compensate us for the fraud they are committing with our tax dollars just like Navin Johnson had to do in The Jerk because of Opti-Grab.I remind us all that the leader of the Trump administration received less than 50% of the votes and we wrap up with a mention of the problematic 1982 film The Toy starring Richard Pryor.

Spoiler: I was not deterred from buying my morning donut! Have you ever heard of the band My Morning Donut? Neither have they.I reveal that the leader of the Trump administration’s mommy and daddy did not love him. Of course, this is speculation, but stay tuned and I will present my case. I am quite positive that negativity is the worst of human traits. We discuss how I am reminded of Debbie Downer and Gollum from “The Lord of The Rings” when I receive negative comments on social media from these people.I admit to forgetting to celebrate with you the occasion of reaching the 9% mark of the second and FINAL term of the Trump administration, but we make up for that in style. We discuss willful trust not willful ignorance displayed by the followers of the leader of the Trump administration, I let you in on my exciting conversation with a lifetime employee of the WWE, and I explain what the leader of the Trump administration has in common with Lady Gaga of all people. You’ll want to listen to the end to find out just what the hell I am talking about. +++Hi.

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.

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.™❤️ 🏳️‍🌈 ✡️ 🧘‍♂️ 🥯 🍔 🍩+++Connect with Josh: Visit me everywhere for everything at superjews.com.
