The Renegade Writer's Mouthy Musings

S2E8: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings What’s up, Y’all? I hope everything is going well for you today. I’m doing pretty ok. Though I woke up early and almost talked myself out of the gym earlier, I changed my mind about it. I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes. I saw the sign. I’m not one to fall for the mystical shit that some seem so tuned into. I’m a skeptic by nature. I tend to rely o...

S2E7: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Good afternoon to you all! In today’s podcast, I talk about a couple of recent online friends who were lamenting about the wilfully ignorant, racist, bigoted people they have to put up with on our writing and social media sites. Spoiler alert: You DON’T have to put up with them. Sadly, too many choose to engage with these asswipes when it’s not required....

S2E6: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Good afternoon, everyone! I’m trying to get this one published before I fall asleep sitting up. It was Day 1 of getting back to the gym after the holidays. Plus the afternoon sun is coming in through my bedroom window. Mooch curled up next to me isn’t helping, either. I feel a nap attack coming on. Mostly, I blame the gym, though. These haven’t been happe...

S2E5: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Hey Y’all. This was a difficult episode to record today. It’s not always easy sticking to my routine. It was especially difficult today since I was running a bit late. The afternoon article took a bit longer than usual, and I needed to pick my daughter up around a certain time. And then a big emotional curveball was thrown at me. I almost struck out. Exte...

S2E4: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Happy Saturday to you all! Damn, I had a rough time today. Not only with today’s podcast episode, (which I had to restart due to technical difficulties) but also with my writing. It was a grind to get my articles done today. And that almost never happens. But it did, and though it was a struggle, it made me proud. I felt accomplished after powering throug...

S2E3: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Hello, Everyone! Happy Friday afternoon to you all. The topic for today’s podcast came to me during a trip the the grocery store. Mooch and I were riding along in my truck on the way home. I was cuddling her like a baby, listening to Lady Gaga, and had to laugh at the situation. This was after observing two very different parenting styles in the grocery s...

S2E2: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Hello, Y’all! Happy Thursday to you. I hope all is well and you’re enjoying this second day of 2025. I just got back from walking Mooch and had an interesting thought after walking by our MAGA neighbor’s house. They’re those weirdos who have a large Trump 2024 flag stapled on their house. Above the garage. Yeah… Fortunately, I don’t see them outside often...

S2E1: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Happy New Year to you all! I’m happy to be back for Season 2 of The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings. I’ve been recording and posting these podcast episodes daily for 2 1/2 months now. And it wasn’t because of some fucking stupid New Year’s resolution. I’ve made it close to 75 days straight because I have goals. I work hard. I love what I do. It’s much ea...

S1E72: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Happy New Year’s Eve to you all! We’re here in the hizzouse this NYE, me, my Bride, two of my three kids, and Auntie. Oh wait, let’s not forget Libby the Mooch ! She’s going to be a fixture in the kitchen tonight when I am making Chicken Carbonara for the family. She’s a hell of a Roomba. And it’s fun to have someone in there while I cook. She likes my s...

S1E71: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Hey Y’all! Happy Monday afternoon to you. I hope your next-to-the-last day of 2024 has been a solid one. Mine started rough for a few reasons, but I realized something: Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it and recover. Even with several things going sideways, I can still see the big picture. My game plan is always changing, new th...

S1E70: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Happy Sunday to you all! For many, Sunday is a day to rest. Most have this day of the week off from work. Not this fella. My writing and podcasting is a 7-day-a-week, 365-day-a-year kind of thing. I don’t like time off. I enjoy working hard at my goals and kicking ass. I’ve been at it for 6 months here on Substack, and I’m so proud of the results I’m hav...

S1E69: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Happy Saturday, Everyone. In today’s podcast episode, I talk about an article I wrote this morning that has me thinking about whether or not Americans are as divided as they seem. Politics and religion play a huge role in how well or poorly we get along. I want to add mainstream media and social media to that, too. I’ve had far less racist, bigoted, hate...

S1E68: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Happy Friday, Y’all! The best part of having Christmas in the middle of the week is the feeling as if there are two weekends in one 7 day period. I’m glad to be back with you today, and in this household, Fridays mean three things: Cooking, Vino, and Music. On my drive over to the grocery store, I was listening to music. Specifically, Lady Gaga’s first b...

S1E67: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Good afternoon, Wonderful People! I’m talking to all of you who are lovely, kind, and would never support an asswipe like Donald Trump and his sidekick, President-Elect Musk. Elonald Trusk supporters are not welcome on my social media accounts. I enforced this rule once again just an hour ago. I thought I’d exterminated these pests and bug-bombed the fuc...

S1E66: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! It’s Christmas Day and the Festivities are in full effect here at the Provencio household. Do you like the gift my sister-in-law so generously gave me? I think I look good in black. It matches my cold, dead heart. Just teasing, but I adore this hoodie. It very much describes how I feel about President-Elect Musk...

S1E65: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! I hope you are all having a wonderful Tuesday and Christmas Eve! I’m in a happier, more festive mood than yesterday. I listened to yesterday’s podcast episode and could tell I was dragging. Being in a poor mood doesn’t translate well to audio recordings. Oh well, I’m human. So sue me. Well, don’t. I’m already wo...

S1E65: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Good afternoon, Everyone. I’m feeling somewhat somber today, less than 48 hours from Christmas. What should be a happy, joyous time of year doesn’t feel that way, to me. At least today. It’s because we’re getting closer to January 20th. Fuck. I’m not looking forward to having President Musk and his lap dog, Donald Dick taking office. I worry that there w...

S1E64: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Happy Holidays to you all! This afternoon, I found myself thinking about how Christmas Eve is only 48 hours away. We are going to visit my folks a few towns over which will keep in line with the tradition my family celebrated growing up. We always celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve. That seems odd, to some. For us, it was just routine. Our routine. I...

S1E63: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Well hello, my friends! Happy Saturday before Christmas. I hope your holiday season is going well. We had our Christmas party last night and it was badass. An epic time was had by all, even if Mooch passed out early like she did. This was surprising, in the middle of a bunch of half-drunk clowns playing “Name That Tune” on YouTube music and being somewha...

S1E62: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Hello everyone. Happy Friday afternoon to you and yours. Today, I’m fed up and pissed off. I read an article late last night before bed, and I lost sleep over it. Fuck Elon Musk and his almost-half trillion-dollar fortune. That’s right. One human being on this planet has THAT much money. 90 times Donald Trump’s net worth. It’s no wonder he’s pretty much...

S1E62: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Hello Everyone! Today’s episode is going to make you laugh. I was thinking about funny shit today. I tend to laugh a lot daily about all sorts of silly things. I realize that it doesn’t show all of the time in my writing. I can be a pretty angry prick sometimes. Mouthy, even. But today, I was reminded of a really funny memory. And I’m in a good mood. Per...

S2E2: You Have the Right to Remain Mouthy Good afternoon, Y’all! Kenyon Ray York-Byers and I am back with today’s latest episode of “You Have the Right to Remain Mouthy. We enjoyed having a great chat about one of our favorite topics this afternoon: Learning. The process, the types of things we enjoy learning about, and the different ways people learn to do things. When you’re engaging in learning...

S1E61: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings Hello Everyone! It’s good to be back with you today on Tuesday. I had a message that popped into my head and it gave me the idea for today’s episode. I’m sorry this is being published a little later than usual. But better late than never. This sentiment was on my mind today when I damn near skipped the gym for the 30th day or more in a row. I realize tha...

S1E60: The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings This episode is not kind-hearted and it’s petty as fuck. You’ve been warned, listen at your own risk. If you hate everything about Donald Trump and all that he represents, you’ll get a kick out of this one. I wrote an article this morning about what he’s plotting behind the scenes and it put me in a mood. I’m not going to pretend that this podcast episod...

Happy Sabbath Day to you all! Or Sunday, if you’re not a religious person, as I’m not. I did bring up some related points to this in today’s episode of The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings. I wrote an article this week about running out of fucks to give. It was a humorous look at my favorite word in the English language, the F-word. I wrote about what it would have been like if I’d run out of fuck...
