The Renegade Writer's Mouthy Musings

Man, what a weird, wonderful day it is today.

I say that because I love it when things are weird. Or people being weird. Not creepy, but weird. I talked about that earlier this week. Today has been one of those days already.

Mooch wrote today’s new article. We received something VERY unexpected in the mail. And now, Mrs. Mouthy and I have our first fancy date in two years.

And it all happened the day of our 500th podcast episode in a row. I’m really happy right now. Thank you all so much for lending me your ears throughout it all.

I talk about all of this and a few other things in today’s 500th episode. And Mooch wants to give you a super special 500th episode discount. 50% off a paid subscription, if you’d like to support independent journalism for a bargain. She’s a kind little thing.

Thank you all so much. Appreciate you giving this a listen. I’d better not keep Mai waiting. Catch up with you all late tonight or tomorrow!

Even though our country is in the toilet, and the Pedo President is breaking laws left and right, we can choose not to let him win.

Trust me, I know how exhausting it is to listen to and read about Traitor Trump non-stop. It affects my mental health in a very negative way. Sometimes, I’m really pissed off and upset about all that comes along with having that shitiot in power.

But I also know that I can control many variables in my life. I refuse to let him have control over every aspect of my life. And I sure as hell won’t back down in my fight against his bullshit ways.

I talk about this in today’s episode. I’m not letting that orange dick-with-ears control my mood and emotions 24-7. I don’t think you should, either. Let’s fight that nonsense, together.

Man, that was a hell of a good time. Unlike watching the Pedo President’s State of the Union address.

Not that we’d know. We both had far better things to do last night. We knew what was coming, anyway. More “ME, ME, ME!” and lying, gaslighting bullshit. The Count of Mostly Crisco is famous for that crap.

Still, we’d both read about the psycho nonsense last night. I’m just disappointed that nobody yelled, “QUIET, PIGGY!” at Mango Mussolini. They could have been legends for that.

Oh well, maybe next time. We had a wonderful conversation regardless of all that. And it was nice that Mooch made an appearance, too. It was awesome to see 250 of you show up to our little informal chit-chat. We appreciate you all so much. If you missed it, here’s the replay.

Thank you for checking it out. Please subscribe to K.R. Byers’ Substack. He posts the best Notes of anyone on Substack. And his writing is top shelf. Every member of my Mouthy Militia should be a subscriber to K.R.’s, too.

See that pic above? That’s a photo of two adults. But one of them isn’t adulting the same way as the other.

One appears to be stressed out. She’s likely sitting at a desk, frustrated by her work. She has a deadline to meet, and a dick boss who won’t be understanding if she doesn’t get the job done. She could even get fired over it.

The other fella on the right is chill. He has no boss to answer to, other than the douchebag in the mirror. But that guy is pretty understanding. He can dress however goofy he wants to, and when there’s an above-average number of commitments coming up, he might get a little stressed out.

But at least it’s a situation that HE created. And he accepts that and deals with it.

That’s the topic of today’s podcast episode. I decided to share a little about my busy schedule and how I feel when there is extra to deal with. I’m going through that, currently. But I know I’ll power through it, and it beats the shit out of working for someone else.

Thank you for lending me your ears today. I appreciate you all so very much. Your kind generosity and support make it possible for me to do things this way daily.

And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Robert Carradine passed away yesterday. His death brought me to tears when I found out about it.

But it wasn’t because I was some sort of super fan or anything. I knew Robert from the movie “Revenge of the Nerds.” I’m sure I’ve seen him in other things, but that was the one where I knew him best. I’m always sad when someone passes, but I don’t always get super emotional.

But this was different.

I learned of this by seeing a post from his daughter, Everdawn. Ever made a touching tribute post on Instagram about her father. And it made me cry. I thought of my own daughter. Ever and I are the same age. I remembered back to when I was a single dad of a toddler girl.

That’s mainly why his passing moved me so. I’d also written about Traitor Trump non-stop lately. Sometimes, my emotions come out in a big way after holding in all of the hate and anger I have toward the Pedophile President and the horrible people in his administration. It’s hard not to feel anger and sadness constantly.

It’s important that we let those emotions out whenever possible. I talk about this in today’s episode. I appreciate you lending me your ears on this one. Thank you for being there, as you all constantly are. It means the world to me.

I’ve sure been going through some shit lately.

Specifically, regarding loved ones and their struggles. Our son’s car needs a new engine. A relative I’m close to struggles with keeping jobs and places to live. Mooch has a new lump, her second one in the past month.

Thinking about these things and worrying so much about them has my nerves shot. It isn’t easy being empathetic to everyone’s struggles constantly. But it’s a part of who I am. I’m never going to ignore other people’s pain and suffering.

I was thinking about this today and decided to talk about it on today’s episode of our podcast. I’d appreciate you giving it a listen. Thank you for lending me your ears. It sure helps to be able to vent a little and share some things I’m going through with you.

News about Mooch at the end of this episode. And here’s a link to my Dad’s Substack page, where he does his weekly podcast about faith and spirituality. He’d love some free subscribers, if you don’t mind checking it out, if you’re into that topic.

Thank you for considering it!

Today isn’t a good day, Y’all. I’m scared for my little dog.

Just putting this photo of our beloved Mooch up for this episode brought me to tears. You can see that she has a noticeable lump under her right eye. We thought that Mai clipped her with a kitchen cabinet last night, leading to a bump this morning.

But the 2nd photo on the right that I took a few days before that shows that it was there. We just hadn’t noticed it yet.

I’m a strong person, but this shit is killing me. To go through this twice in two weeks is brutal. The first one turned out not to be cancerous. I’ve already scheduled a visit to her vet tomorrow afternoon. I don’t play around when it comes to our baby.

I’ll keep you all posted. I hope it’s nothing. Or something minor, like an infection, a cyst, or a tooth problem. Send everything you have Mooch’s way, please. Prayers, positive thoughts, vibes, it’s all welcome.

Thank you for caring. Our official Substack mascot needs to be around for a long time. I’m believing for that to be her reality.

This afternoon, I was thinking about weird people. It started when I looked in the mirror.

Yes, I am a weirdo. And I embrace that title. I love getting to know other weird people, too. We are interesting. We have things to teach others. It’s a whole lot of fun.

Being weird is not to be confused with being “creepy.” There’s a difference in having eccentric qualities and not being allowed within 500 yards of a grade school. Ask the Pedo President about THAT one.

That’s the topic of today’s podcast. It’s been a pretty interesting day so far. I love getting to know people from all walks of life. The weirdos are my favorite. I purposely surround myself with interesting, different types of people. Hopefully, we have some weirdos listening to this today.

Let us know in the comments. I embrace our diversity and love you all. Thank you for lending me your ears, as always!

Traitor Trump does nothing but create chaos and drama. It’s exhausting to live through that daily.

Take it from someone who knows. When you read, write, and podcast about Spray-Tan Shitler all hours of the day, it’s stressful as fuck. It can be a lot. I realized long ago that I had to have something to balance out the anger and stress that come along with reporting this crap.

A few somethings. And I’m thankful for each of them.

I talk about what works for me in keeping my blood pressure at a decent level in today’s episode. I hope that you find something useful in this one. Thank you for lending me your ears, as always. Supporting each other is so important with what we go through as Americans who want no part of a pedophile president.

He has to go. It must be soon. And we have to work together to make it happen.

I was thinking about wind today. And politics. How the relate to each other.

With the arrest of the former prince known as Andrew, Britain has spoken. They are taking these fucked-up Epstein files seriously. As are several other countries where arrests have been made already. Just three weeks after a bunch of new documents from the Trumpstein files were released.

Here in America, though? Crickets.

This is disgusting. Justice is not being served to the survivors of the Epstein child rape scandal. People like Scamela Bondi are doing everything to protect the Pedophile President. It’s easy to get angry and frustrated by our own nation being so far behind other countries in how this is being handled.

But it’s being handled. You can’t see wind, only the effects of it. And while it feels like a breeze here in the US, it’s blowing harder in these other nations. The truth will be revealed in time. And we’ll 86 Forty Seven soon after.

Thank you for giving this one a listen. I appreciate you lending me your ears. Together, we can unite and fight hard to get accountability for the Epstein victims. The Chutney Chomo must serve justice. Child rapists and murderers deserve every horrible thing coming to them.

And once he gets it, the world will cheer. The wind of change blows straight. And it will knock Donnie Kid-Diddler right on his ass, no matter how much weird leaning he does.
