The Renegade Writer's Mouthy Musings

Happy Tuesday afternoon to all of my pet-loving friends! This is a special episode of The Renegade Writer’s Mouthy Musings. It’s been a banner day for my little dog, Mooch. She got to go buh-bye and then took a walk to the park with me. But something even cooler than that happened. Mooch joined Substack. No shit. Libby the Mooch has her own SS newsletter, “The Mouthiest Little Mooch.” You’re going...

Hey, fellow Boomers/Gen-Xers, Christ on a Chromebook, I’m having issues today. My kids like to tease me about being old since I recently turned 50. Hell, they’ve been doing it for years now. Little bastards. So much for their inheritance. Mooch gets it all. Speaking of Mooch, I had planned to do a live video with her as a test run to see how this live broadcasting feature works on Substack. But I...

Happy Sunday to you all! J’m just chilling here with Mooch on a nice lazy Sunday afternoon. I ran out to pick up my daughters and stopped by the grocery store earlier to make a nice Italian Sunday dinner for the family. In today’s podcast, I talk about how we enjoy most nights at home with our kids rather than going out all of the time. Though we did have a fun visit at our friends’ house last nig...

Happy Saturday afternoon, Everyone! I was thinking about the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fight after I finally watched it this morning. No shit, it buffered off and on for two hours last night, and I finally gave up trying to watch it. I figured I’d be able to see it in the morning when not as many people were trying to watch it live. That was a good choice. I was tired and cranky by 11 PM last night. I...

Good afternoon everyone, and Happy Friday to you! In today’s podcast, I’m going to talk about a bad man and why I’m choosing to root for him. And no, it’s not Donald J. Shitler. I’m feeling nostalgic tonight, and in a better mood than I’ve been this week. Mental health can be a tough thing during times of stress and duress. I have some welcome family time coming this evening with my daughters. We’...

Well hey, Y’all! I’m back with a new episode, recorded shortly after a 90-minute episode with my good friend K.R. Byers over at his studio. It had been about 45 days since our last full-length podcast, and goddamn, it felt good to do another one again, finally! I’m pretty wiped out after two in a row, it kind of shows in my shorter, second podcast here. But he and I kicked ass on the earlier one....

Hey Everyone. Apologies if today’s podcast isn’t as light-hearted as usual. I’ve been in a darker mood than I typically am. Perhaps it’s the article I wrote this morning titled, “ Dear Daddy, Your Vote Broke My Heart ”. That was a sad one to write, from the perspective of a MAGA-voting man’s young daughter. Maybe it was some other news I learned about Donald Trump Jr. and Elon Musk looking to purc...

Hey, Happy Tuesday, Sinners and Saints! I had a thought today before recording my new episode of TRWMM. I enjoyed a meeting I attended this morning. No, it wasn’t a traditional church service. Or Alcoholics Anonymous. Dicks. It was something though that took up time I usually can’t afford to spare. I sometimes commit to things that I know are good for me and then dread following through with them....

Hello, my technology-loving friends! If you’re anything like me, you enjoy your phones, laptops, PCs, and Internet when they’re actually functioning. Sadly, today was a bad day for me in that regard. Our damn power went out for almost three hours. Talk about screwing up my pretty strict writing and podcasting routine. And don’t get me started about how worried I was about the food in our refrigera...

Happy Sunday, my freedom-loving Friends! I was thinking about how much different our country might look in January 2025, once Donald Trump has taken office for a second term. I have my theories about the varying degrees of fuckery his reign of terror may involve. It made me wonder if I might become an enemy of the state. That’s a scary thought for most. But not for this mouthy Renegade Writer. I’l...

Happy Saturday, Everyone! I have a few thoughts today about something I read up on last night. The 4B movement that’s come to America from South Korea. Give this one a listen to find out what liberal women are pledging to do in the wake of American men voting against their best interests and electing Donald Trump once again. Conservative Fellas, you’re not gonna like this one. Talk about a self-in...

I’ve been reading a shit-ton of hateful, stupid comments today on my anti-Trump articles and Notes here on Substack. I’ve seen them on other peoples’ Notes as well. Some appear to be genuinely frightened and worried. Not this motherfucker. Today’s podcast will explain why I don’t sweat you, MAGA. You’re the same weird fucking kids we dealt with in grade school and junior high. You don’t fit in, so...

Hello, my special people! It’s your favorite mouthy writer and podcaster, back for some encouraging words. I’m feeling better today, after a bit of time since the bullshit results of the 2024 presidential election were dropped on us. Don’t get me wrong. I’m still sad and upset with so many Americans. But I’m starting to feel more angry and defiant rather than fearful and playing out scenarios in m...

Hey Y’all. It’s the day after the shocking results of Election 2024. Men, women, minorities, immigrants, and non-voters enabled a Trump victory last night versus Vice-President Kamala Harris. America has spoken, and its language is quite obviously racism and sexism. The willfully ignorant are dancing in the streets and being jagoffs online in the comment sections. I’ve received at least double the...

Happy Election Day, everyone! It’s an exciting day in America, my friends. We are blessed to have free elections in which we hold the power. The power to do what’s right for all citizens of the United States, not just the select few who feel that they are more important than the rest of us. Talking to you, Donald Trump, and your scum bag MAGA followers. In today’s podcast, I talk about why I am no...

Hey Everyone! I’ve heard the title of today’s podcast far more often than I care to admit from aging, Republican Conservatives. And it’s bullshit. Here’s why that blanket statement from those people doesn’t apply to me. I hope you are all having a wonderful day and have either early voted or plan to do your civic duty tomorrow as Americans. Not voting in this election is unacceptable. We must do e...

Hey Friends, Happy Sunday to you! I hope you’re all enjoying yourselves this final weekend before the biggest election I can remember. There’s so much on the line in our attempt to keep Donald Trump out of power and ensure freedom and democracy for our nation. I’m tired of going into all of the reasons Trump is a danger to our country and the free world. But there is one reason that I believe that...

Happy Saturday, Everyone! A recent encounter at my Bride’s physical therapist’s office made me think about famous people. It’s an odd concept to think about, but you’ll see why in today’s podcast. This was a fun trip down Memory Lane, my chance encounters with several celebrities. I hope you all enjoy it! Here’s to a happy weekend before Election Day this Tuesday. Good things are coming for us all...

Hello Everyone! No, this message is not coming to you from The Great Beyond. No, it’s not the ghost of Jason typing this. I did not in fact, kill myself after being told by a MAGA Substack troll that I should. Fuck that, and FUCK YOU. Blocked, deleted, and his name, forgotten. That’s how much these idiotic insults mean to me. ZERO. I am always going to speak my mind, write my opinions, and record...

Happy Halloween to you all! The Renegade Writer doesn’t take Halloween or any other holiday off from his daily podcast. I have too many mouthy musings to share with you each day. Tonight is no different. I was thinking about the scary theme of Halloween, and how it compares to this election we have coming up in just days. Listen to my thoughts about cults, specifically, the MAGA cult, and see if y...

Good afternoon, my friends! I was driving home from the grocery store today and had some thoughts about “homophobic” people. I hate that word, I don’t at all believe that some are actually afraid of gay or trans people. I hope you enjoy the message I’m bringing to you about this. Check it out, and I hope everyone is voting this last week before Election Day with the best interests of a diverse Ame...

Hello, my Favorite People! Today’s mini-pod is a labor of love. Mainly, because I’m jet-lagged as fuck, even though it was a short trip. Probably because I’m SO not a morning person. We had to be up at 5:30 this morning, but I’ll tell you all about it. Slowly. If my pace is just a bit off, forgive me. And if you won’t, fuck off and don’t listen, then. HAHA! I tease. Here we go! You Have the Right...

In today’s mini-podcast, I talk about the bullshit I witnessed regarding yesterday’s Trump rally at Madison Square Garden. Trump and his disgusting cronies and followers held a racist, bigoted rally that any Nazi-supporting piece of filth would be proud of. Let me know in the comments your thoughts about this horrible meeting of deranged lunatics. There are over 6 hours of footage in the YouTube v...

Welcome to today’s mini-podcast! Praise be. I have a few things to say this Sunday. I’d love for you to listen to it. Hopefully, you’re not stuck in a traditional church service. If so, be careful not to laugh while the pastor is delivering his sermon. If it’s bigoted and hateful, then laugh the fuck away. Thank you all for tuning in. I hope this is enlightening and enjoyable for you all. Thank yo...

Good Morning, Everyone! Happy Saturday to you, hope all is well. I’m sitting down here with Mai while we both work on new articles as well as this new mini-podcast episode. Breakfast is surprisingly good, with scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, sausage, and the most important thing, COFFEE. Though I miss our little dog Mooch, travel agrees with me. In this morning’s mini-pod, I chat about the travel...
