Send us a textYeah, so THAT happened, and here we are, almost two weeks later and if you're like me, you're still processing what it all means, how we got here, and what happens next.

Send us a textGun violence hits a little too close to the Wagner homestead last week, casting a bit of a shadow over almost everything else, but that doesn't stop the damn cat from yelling at me throughout the recording.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.

Send us a textIn which our hero endeavors to make sense of celebrity excuses, acquire a chicken sandwich slathered with hot mayonnaise, defends the right of every entrepreneur to create their creations, and laughs at what a loser the loser of last night's Presidential debate is.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.

Send us a textIt's back to school day!

Spoiler Alert: he doesn't succeed. Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.

Send us a textHealth scares, dog scares, future scares, and maybe a few other random scares. Scares are the topic of this one. Bottom line: I don't want to die, I don't want to talk about my scooter, and I don't want the guy at the food cart to give a woman a discount that she doesn't need nor deserve. That is all.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.

Send us a textWhat began as a simple Happy Holidays episodes turns into a complete trainwreck thanks to Gary the Cat, the Portland Police Department, and the DLZ Creator Super Duper Podcast Recorder by Mackie.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.

Send us a textChandler's passing and Lady Gaga's really, really bad headaches have nothing on my disappointment in missing Halloween after buying my first costume in years. Fortunately, I'll get an extra hour to think about it this weekend. Yay?Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.

Send us a textThis would be a return to form if I ever had form to begin with. Instead, it's a quick check-in to reveal my (mostly) legitimate excuses for staying away from microphones for a while. Topics include: 31st Ave W and Fecal Street, Happy Birthday to Me, People LOVE podcast ads, and Danger is my middle name.Follow me on Threads + Instagram @SwedeTrap.
