Description

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.

This Is Not Normal

2026/02/04

How do we survive the nonstop news cycle and this reign of geopolitical f*****y? Trauma therapist Logan Cooper (Crooked Counselor Cooper) explains collective trauma, nervous system overload, and real ways to cope when the headlines never stop. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rage Against the Ice Machine

2026/01/28

This week we get into the rage that everyone’s feeling around the undeniable murder of Alex Pretti and our new home of gas light city (courtesy of the US government). Also, we breakdown the pros and cons of dating AI and unleash our new Rage Hotline segment “Would You Be Mad?” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Family Ties...Sometimes Should Be Cut

2026/01/14

The holidays are over, everyone’s still exhausted and family rage is very much alive. In this episode we unpack holiday meltdowns, lost kids at Legoland, inappropriate childhood traditions, and the very real question of whether family deserves unconditional access to you. From cutting ties with toxic parents to redefining chosen family, we talk boundaries, guilt, emotional pain, and why “but they’re family” isn’t a good enough reason to suffer. If you skipped a gathering, set a boundary, or chose peace over obligation, buy yourself a drink, a blunt or a massage. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hotline Bling: Best of the Rage Hotline

2025/12/17

This week, we dig up never-before-heard rage audio and revisit our favorite Rage Hotline calls from the past year. Online dating rage, Thanksgiving disasters, and Ebar and FW’s ill-fated attempt to find Tara a date, all in one unhinged episode. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rage Bait

2025/12/10

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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pluribus, Toxic Positivity + Adult Volunteer Sports

2025/12/03

This week we break down the toxic-positivity fever dream that is Vince Gilligan’s new show Pluribus and the main character’s rarely-contained rage in this shiny new world. Then we ask the real question: why do some adults become absolute a**holes the second a ball gets involved? From rec-league meltdowns to board-game blowups, we’re looking at why people need to be winners so badly. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thanksgiving: Where Expectations Go to Die and Rage Flourishes

2025/11/26

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. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thanks For Nothing

2025/11/19

I love traveling for Thanksgiving… said no one stuck in TSA lines, budgeting for airfare, or emotionally preparing to sleep in their childhood twin bed under a crocheted afghan of generational trauma. We’re unpacking the true cost of Thanksgiving: financial, emotional, and gastrointestinal, not excluding one Rage Hotline caller’s horrifying tale of turkey-induced salmonella and what we can only imagine ended with that scene from Bridesmaids (minus the dresses). See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Work Rage

2025/11/12

Per our last email, it’s time to circle back on that conversation we put a pin in: our f-ing work rage. From “return to office” mandates to the corporate buzzwords that make you want to mainline ginger pills to the Great Detachment, we’re going to get into why American work culture still makes us rage. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sex, Lies & Lily Allen

2025/11/05

In this sexy episode, TRP gets into the thick of Lily Allen’s new album, an anti-love letter to David Harbour. We too want to know who the f*ck is Madeline. We also want to know how busy or not people are in a threesome. And we dig into how much sex people are having - no wrong answer. Like we said up top, it's a sexy episode. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mini Rager

2025/10/29

Welcome to the Mini Rager, where we have the same unhinged energy but in a smaller dose. This Halloween we scare the sh*t out of you with an aggressive mandate to decorate and an even more aggressive response to the PSL scarcity epidemic. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Smash, Scream, Repeat: Moving Rage Out of Our Bodies

2025/10/22

We’re back with neuroscientist Dr. Nicole Tetreault, who explains how to literally get rage out of your body without losing your mind. Everyone’s anger looks different and so does everyone’s release. You might find that smashing a bunch of sh*t in a rage room is your nervous system’s best therapy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brazen Brood: Activists, Alders, Vets & Voices That Matter

2025/10/17

A special COT-Whenever mini-rager. We shout out a BROOD of brazen bada***s working to make the sludge we're living in a humane place. You will want to know these people if you don't already. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Girls Just Wanna Have a Rage Release

2025/10/15

We talk to founder of RAGEher, Krissie McMenamin, about her movement/embodiment experience (think a girls night out at the club but as a rage release therapy session). We unpack rageling names, hug doulas and the tempest tavern - signature elements of RAGEher. Also, Ebar and Tara get into some don'ts that might change the way you think about theme parks and threesomes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Female Rage Continues

2025/10/08

So much female rage that we had to split it into two episodes. Check out the second half of our interview with psychotherapist and best selling author Jennifer Cox ("Women Are Angry") as we discuss how "it all starts in childhood," that some of us need to call our moms c***s and why women get a greenlight to throw a tantrum.
