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.
