Oxford named rage bait the Word of the Year and honestly, that choice alone rage-baited half the internet. We discuss how anger spreads faster than joy and conclude that outrage has become the world’s most addictive currency. AND, we rage bait ourselves by reading off hate comments left for us and our eyewear. Plus, Tara reveals she’s now carrying an infectious disease so alarming it deserves its own public health billboard.

We all have rage, and if you don’t think you have it, don’t worry we’ll help you find it. And once you find it, we’ll also help you deal with it. This podcast is the intersection of all the life things (family, love, politics, sports, driving, loud chewing) and rage. Hosted by comedians Tara Erickson and Ebar, they talk to guests (ranging from neuroscientists to divorce experts to athletes to a neighbor) about how rage factors into their various areas of expertise. When they’re not doing that, they’re listening to calls from the rage hotline, screaming into a pillow or checking in with the show’s producer Friendy Wende who’s likely telling them to move on.

Are toddlers an international threat level 10 to our emotional security? Yes. But it turns out there’s more to them than being terrorists. On this episode, we chat with neuroscientist Dr. Nicole Tetrault and psychotherapist Jennifer Cox, to unpack what’s happening in the brains of these tiny tyrants. Also, Tara learns that scissors are, in fact, sharp, Ebar has a near miss with tetanus, and the rage hotline delivers, as always.

Vanity is better left as a spot to do your makeup or perform a mole check. Whether you're over-focusing on how someone looks (especially if it's yourself) or you're over-focusing on how hot and cool your S.O. appears out in public, you're likely spending way too much time on surface sh*t. And that's why in this episode, we look at people living their most fulfilling and authentic lives: reality stars. Whether it's Love Overboard or Laws of Attraction, Tara relays to Ebar the latest rage trigger from a show that Ebar has never and will likely never watch.

Breakups are hard, sometimes weird and awkward, even the amicable ones. And everyone has been unhinged over one. If not, congrats, you're perfectly actualized and we would like your recipe for existence. This episode, we talk rage over being blindsided, not being listened to for the 800th time, or being accused of emotional warfare you had no idea about. Along with getting into our own breakup rage, we also explore the science behind why it literally hurts and review some do's and don'ts.
