People expect a LOT at the holidays whether they realize it or not. And we're not just talking about the perfect cranberry mold. We're also talking about emotional mold. On this Rage Pod episode, we get into why tiny disappointments feel so much bigger this time of year, why Ebar thinks you should replace your pepper spray for ice skates, and why we keep giving Thanksgiving way more emotional weight than it deserves.

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.
