The Renegade Writer's Mouthy Musings

S2E96: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings I was struggling today. In fact, it’s been rough since late last night. A few things hadn’t gone my way. The roller coaster of life has me up and down lately. Perhaps you can relate. It’s been a rough 2025, so far. It feels like Donald Douche has been in office a lot longer than three months. In today’s podcast episode, I talk about why I was having a di...

S2E95: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings This might be the most fiery podcast episode I’ve recorded yet. I’m fucking pissed off and ready to fight. I really don’t even feel like describing this episode in detail. I’d just appreciate you lending me your ears and leaving some comments. I need to chill out and take a break after the article I wrote earlier about this. Check it out here, if you don...

S2E94: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings I’m so irritated right now, Y’all… I’ve been looking forward to attending the Bernie Sanders rally here in Idaho for weeks. Since hearing about it, I knew I wanted to attend and see him speak. This was even before they announced that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez would be here with him. So, of course, I woke up with a migraine. I hoped I could shake it off af...

S2E93: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Happy Sunday, Everyone. For most people, today is a day of rest. Many folks have Sundays off and use that day to do fun activities or just chill. Almost everyone in my household is off on Sundays, and the house is usually buzzing with activity. I noticed this today when I was busy writing my morning article. I had plans afterward and knew that today woul...

S2E92: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Elon Musk’s projected DOGE savings have dropped from two trillion dollars, down to 1 trillion, and is now sitting at 150 billion dollars. So where did all of these “savings’ go? Right into their billionaire pockets. This thievery, coupled with their stock market manipulation, is enriching the Billionaire Boys Club while hard-working Americans are sufferi...

S2E91: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Happy Friday evening, everyone! I hope your weekend has started off well! In today’s podcast episode, I decided to talk about something I was thinking about this morning. After seeing Jon Stewart and Pete Buttigieg, something Mayor Pete said stuck in my mind. He thinks we need to have more productive conversations with MAGA voters. Ones where I’m not cal...

S2E90: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Hey Everyone. Today’s podcast episode focuses on mental health. Specifically, about men’s mental health and how it is often neglected by so many fellas. This needs to change. I was chatting with a close friend about it yesterday. We both compared notes, and I was able to offer up some advice from someone with a bit more experience on the subject. I’m abo...

S2E89: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings I’m leavin’ on a jet plane… Don’t know when I’ll be back again. I wish that were my reality right now. I’m jonesing for some travel, and I can’t wait to do my writing and podcasting internationally. But for now, I have to stick around for a bit. I talk about the reasons why in today’s podcast episode. The United States is a volatile place right now. Trum...

S2E88: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Good afternoon to you all! Thank you for joining me today and for giving this podcast episode a listen. The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings are about to go down, once again. It’s time to discuss how Trump has built such a cultish following. Several factors have led to where we are here in 2025. I hope you’ll check this one out and let me know your thoug...

S2E87: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Hey Y’all! Man, it’s been a day. I was all set to record this podcast episode about something political, until I stumbled across this magnificent creature while walking Libby the Mooch . I knew I had to change my plans, I can rant about politics tomorrow. Some things in life are more important than how fucking stupid Donald Trump is. Give this one a list...

S2E86: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Happy Sunday afternoon, Everyone. Man, did I run across a tear-jerker of a social media post last night. It certainly hit me hard, and I knew that I had to write about it or talk about it on the podcast. I opted for that second option. I can’t imagine Libby the Mooch not getting to say goodbye to me, should I pass before her. I doubt this will happen. I’...

S2E85: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Hey Y’all… Man, it’s been a week. I’ve been weak. I’m falling into some bad habits. I thought I had this thing handled. But it’s been trending in the wrong direction, as of late. Today, I’m going to share with the group. I have some things to get off my chest and today is as good of time as any to divulge a little information. I feel that I can get this...

S2E84: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Happy Friday, Y’all! Glad to be back with another episode of The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings. I was thinking about the whole “Conservative vs. Liberal” thing earlier today. I just don’t understand how people who support Donald Trump and all of his shady administration players think that liberal people are so bad. Unless it’s that whole hypocritical,...

Hey Everyone! Thank you so much to everyone who showed up to chat with me and Libby the Mooch this afternoon. It was a pleasure, as always. I’ve missed these Substack Live events for the past few weeks while my back was out. Now that it’s much better, let’s do this more often. Over 300 members of our Mouthy Militia showed up. You’re all awesome. We value and appreciate every single one of you. If...

S2E83: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Le Sigh… Where the hell do I even begin, today? It’s been the longest 2 1/2 months of my life. Maybe you feel the same. I get so goddamn sick and tired of hearing about Donald Trump. His latest stupid statements. His ignorant views about fucking EVERYTHING. I just want this shit show to be over. I didn’t vote for this. In today’s podcast episode, I talk...

S2E82: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Good afternoon, Y’all. I was thinking about parenting today. Specifically about the roles of fathers within families. I saw a couple of things recently that made me think of this topic. I had one of those tough fathers. Sometimes, bordering on abusive. Perhaps you did, too. In today’s episode, I talk about how many men mistreat their children and how it...

S2E81: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Holy shit, did I go off on today’s episode. I don’t even feel like writing a nice, well-written intro today. Just fucking listen to it. Pretty please, with sugar on top. &:^) I appreciate you all lending me your ears, even when I’m ranty and ravey. It felt good to get this off my chest. I hope you enjoy it and agree with where I’m coming from, here. Than...

S2E80: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Happy Monday, Everyone! It’s the last day of March. Man, time flies when you’re having fun. And doing the same shit every single day. As a writer who is focused on building something big, I understand this all too well. In today’s episode of The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings, I find myself talking about the one thing that I attribute my success to so...

S2E79: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Hey, Happy Sunday to you all! I’m in a funny mood at the moment. I got a little fired up in my afternoon article, and then again when I recorded this podcast. Hence the use of a word many people don’t approve of. So be it. I’m gonna do what I do. Words are simply that. Just words. When you give them power to offend you, then the person saying them wins....

S2E78: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Y’all, it was a frustrating day today. Even more than the usual bullshit of the Trump administration. Some days, writing and podcasting about all of his administration’s latest fuckery brings me town. But today, it wasn’t politics that had me frustrated. It was because of Apple. Not an apple, but rather, the tech company. And how difficult they make it t...

S2E77: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Holy Christ, what a day it’s been. Between my earlier article today and this podcast, I’m really feeling poorly. My mental health is hanging by a thread. I’m so fucking angry and disgusted by everything I read in the news lately. And it’s shit for the economy. We are in decline like you wouldn’t believe. To Trump and the MAGA folks to say that we’re maki...

S2E76: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings *Trigger Warning: I may have said “fuck” more in the episode than any other one I’ve recorded the past 6 months. &:^) And that’s ok. I handle my business the way I see fit. I’m always going to say the things I want to say, regardless of what anyone else thinks about it. This is my page, not yours. While 99% of my fans are super supportive and wonderful,...

S2E75: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Hey Y’all! Today has been a pretty exciting day. Though I’m a little behind schedule with my writing and podcasting, it’s been worth it. We had an exciting new development happen today. Our new Sleep Number Bed was delivered. Holy Hell, this thing seems nice. You know when the delivery man asks for your WiFi password to get your new bed connected to it,...

S2E74: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Did any of you have a difficult time fitting in during junior high or high school? I always had a few friends, but some social groups weren’t the easiest to gain access to. I feel that a lot of people find this to be true, even after high school. In today’s podcast episode, I talk about the MAGA movement. Specifically, how many of their members join and...

S2E73: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Hey Everybody! I’m back with another episode of The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings! It’s good to be here with you and to share another podcast episode. It’s been a wonderful day, once again. I was happy to do a video chat with one of my close friends, Jered Calabro . He’s new around these parts and a wonderful writer and friend. He wanted to pick my br...
