About this listen

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.

  • Selective Outrage

    Selective Outrage
    Feb 25 2026

    A listener slides into our DMs to call us out on what they see as selective outrage around the Epstein files. So, we respond. Whoever was doing f-d up stuff connected to Jeffrey Epstein needs to be held accountable. We’re talking Clinton, Biden, Trump, your friend PJ. Justice isn’t partisan. And if your friend was in there, we’re sorry, PJ’s gotta go. Then we hard left and give out our watch recs: Netflix’s Zero Day, a nostalgic return to The Closer, Eternity, and a charming criminal living in Toys “R” Us (Hi! Channing Tatum) The hat trick of rage, nuance, and streaming recommendations. (Yes, that was a hockey reference. We watched Heated Rivalry.)

    But the Dow Is Up! | Pam Bondi Hearing Reaction
    Feb 18 2026

    If the Dow is up, does humanity still matter? Tara and Ebar hop on a call to vent about the White Walker that is Pam Bondi, give a much needed salute to the survivors of Epstein, and pitch a few unhinged ideas for solving the issue with the alleged perpetrators using alligators and bingo.

  • Epstein & The DOJ Cover-Up

    Epstein & The DOJ Cover-Up
    Feb 11 2026

    The Epstein Files are unsealed, redactions are everywhere, and while other countries are launching criminal investigations, the U.S. Department of Justice remains silent. Why? In this episode we unleash our big feelings about the latest bombshells, the trauma of the survivors, and the infuriating political protection surrounding these co-conspirators. Plus, we leave a very specific voicemail for Pam Bondi. From the document dump to accountability wins at UCLA, we're exposing the truth.
