The Renegade Writer's Mouthy Musings

That was sure as fun as I knew it would be.

I want to thank my two good friends, Sturg Writes It Down and Brandon Ellrich for having me as a guest on their podcast today. I knew it would be a great time being on “Tuesdays With Two Gays.” The three of us go way back to my first writing platform, Medium.

It was badass to catch up with the fellas. We shared articles and laughs, both. The quiz that Sturg gave us was a ton of ...

Man, I cannot believe I’ve recorded a daily podcast for 730 days in a row.

I’ve never missed a day. Not when I had COVID, when we’ve been on vacation, or even on the sad day we had to put my father in an assisted living facility. Doing something like this daily for two straight years has been an undertaking.

At least I haven’t had to deal with an undertaker during the process. Death will probably be the only ...

I’m not gonna lie, I’m worried about the midterm election in two weeks.

Why? Several reasons. After 1/3 of Americans sat out the 2024 presidential election, you can’t just assume most people aren’t lazy and will do the right thing. We shouldn’t have been in this fucked up situation to begin with. Electing a child-raping fool never should have happened.

But here the fuck we are in 2026.

Still, something h...

Traitor Trump needs a toddler leash.

Ever seen kids being paraded around like dogs at the mall? That’s the point we’re at here in America. But instead of a small child, we’re talking about the Tangerine Toddler. I mean, he does throw a lot of big baby fits.

So, let’s pass on the leash. Let him wander off. Hold his rallies near cliffs. We could finally end this chaos and drama.

I talk about this in today’s...

“No, I won’t back down.”

Tom Petty was right. You can stand me up at the gates of Hell, but I won’t back down. Days off? Fucking please. I don’t do that. Not with so much on the line. I’m using my writing and podcasting skills to the best of my ability.

I don’t care if I’m 52. It doesn’t matter if I haven’t taken a complete day off in years. As long as I’m growing thi...

I struggle with patience. Though I’m grateful for my life, family, and career, there are times when I feel bad about not being patient enough to achieve what I’m working toward.

It’s difficult when you’re a Substack writer, podcaster, and content creator who’s doing his damnedest to effect change for the better. Some days, I work 12 to 15 hours for less than minimum wage. It’s difficult to stay po...

I swear, I am closer to a legitimate Christian than you MAGA fuckwits who fall asleep in church every Sunday.

I realized this accidentally while driving yesterday. Something happened that made me laugh. It’s unreal, the memories I still have. Attending church for 21 years before taking the next 30 off, you’d think that I have almost nothing in common with church-going folks.

Think again. This shit will make you laugh.

I&...

Man, it’s been a hell of a year for Mooch. Her health has been in jeopardy for most of the past 12 months. She’d never had much going on during the first 13 years of her life.

My, how that has changed. And it’s cost us a small fortune. But at least we’re getting some answers.

I’m going to do everything possible for our beloved dog. Mooch is so much more than just a family pet. I have ten photos in my ph...

I’m starting to think that Donald J.(agoff) Trump is into dudes.

And that would be fine if he wasn’t so angry and self-loathing about it. He’s a mean-spirited prick. And I feel that he takes that anger and hatred out on anyone he perceives as his enemy.

Which is pretty much the whole damn world. He’s not kind toward anyone other than other mean-spirited, power-hungry, soulless billionaires. The ones who compl...

“I love it when a plan comes together.”

That’s a famous quote from the 80s TV show “The A-Team,” spoken by George Peppard, who played Hannibal Smith. He’d light up his celebratory stogie, and the team would claim another victory.

Just as Ukraine has in the past couple of days. Viva La Resistance."

They blew up Russian bot factories in the latest attack against the warmongering Russians. You know, t...

I’ve figured a few things out during my 52 laps around the sun.

Most of the things I’ve learned have come with lessons. Some, harder to endure than others. But all of them have made me who I am today. And I’m pretty proud of that guy.

Even if he’s pretty mouthy and vocal. There have been many fucks thrown around, too.

But that’s ok. I like me. Most of my family members do, too. A fair amount of online fr...

MAGA has certainly lived up to Hillary Clinton’s description of them as being “Deplorables.”

It’s evident in all that they say and do. The most recent MAGAstani fuckery involves an upcoming public execution. One that the Pentagon plans to livestream. Captain Morgain, Pete Kegsbreath, has decided that this is a good thing.

It’s not lost on me that the first person in line for this is of Middle Eastern des...

Pete Kegsbreath wants to livestream a firing squad execution.

Drunky the Clown should really rethink that. If they execute the Fort Hood mass shooter on national TV, it could send a clear, chilling message to the world: That barbaric murder for entertainment is now on the table.

And Captain Morgan could be next. I’ll bet his wife and children wouldn’t want that viewed by millions.

After all, he’s responsible for the...

I heard from an old friend the other day. She sent me a brief video of a fella stating something powerful. It moved me to tears. It hit me right where I live.

His message? “Some people don’t realize how much light they bring into others’ lives by just existing.”

That hit me hard. Mainly because the lady who sent it to me is one of those wonderful people. She’s been a friend for about two dozen years. We ...

Good Christ, I can’t believe this shit.

The topic I’m podcasting about? Yes. But not just that. I recorded today’s podcast, lost it on my laptop, and didn’t even see it in the recycle bin. So I re-recorded it just now and was pretty pissed that it wasn’t as good as the first take.

Then I found the first take, which is what you’ll hear. Thank fuck.

Apologies for this being about 30 minutes late beca...

I am so goddamn sick of Traitor Trump’s always-open shit factory located on his orange, bloated face.

The Leaning Tower of Feces needs to shut the fuck up and be removed from power immediately. If any other president had suggested that another country drop nukes on ANY American city, it would be considered treason. I’m so fed up with his fucking domestic terrorism against people who want him removed from power.

His many c...

Christ Almighty, things are really rough right now. Fuck Mondays. At least this one, right now.

I’m trying my hardest to handle it all. But it’s not going well. My mental health is not in a good place. I received a phone call from my father’s assisted living facility in the middle of recording this episode. I always answer the phone when they call.

Especially with his health so touch-and-go since he was diagnosed wi...

I’ve been a relationship guy almost my entire adult life. Most people haven’t been in committed relationships or marriages for almost all of their lives. I’ve been single for about a year in the past 30.

And half of them have been nothing but loving, fun, and full of happiness. Thank Christ. The first half of my adult life was rocky as fuck.

I was thinking about how much fun my Bride and I have today. Whether we&rsq...

Of course, he goddamn did.

What else would you expect from a career creeper and a child-rapist? He’s never given humanity a shred of evidence of being a decent human being. So naturally, he responded in his typical, rapey way.

What a sick bastard. It’s no wonder we have such a problem in this country with predatory men. And those who defend them. Like the goddamn President.

I talk about this in today’s episode of our...
