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).

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Let's drop in. Welcome to the Rage Pod.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
This is where we rage against the serene and all
the things in between. I'm here with the Tara Erickson.
We're talking about Turkey Day. Yeah, yeah, Thanksgiving, Thanks for nothing,
thanks for nothing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Oh that's good. She wanted to Oh that's good.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I like it. That's from an old comedy. Oh what's
gone Chase?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
All right, keep on moving.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
So it's a golf comedy. I'm gonna get I.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Don't know it. Oh no, I don't believe. I've watched it,
and I'm like, no freaking joke. My job is watching movies.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
But so there you go, real rejects.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I got get the although he'll drop.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
To be honest, guys, Chevy Chase is an asshole, but anyway,
he is a real fucking bona fide asshole. Everybody knows
this in.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
The That's literally why.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
He was the character and community was written for him
the way that it was written. Anyway, So we're here
to talk about turkeys Giving. A lot of Americans still
celebrate the holiday, but it is sort of on the
decline of like people opting out. Yeah, you're like, you
know what, I don't I don't know if I'm gonna
fucking feel thankful on that day, and I don't want
(01:31):
the pressure to feel thankful, I might be hungover and
bitchy and I'm told to lean into my feelings. Yeah,
or is it like turns out I actually am gonna
be honest, I don't like turkey unless it's swimming in cranberry. Yeah,
and gravy and.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Bravy gotta have the biscuits, the roles there, and honestly,
you gotta have the stuffing too.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
But here's the thing, right, you could do that on
a different day. I mean, it doesn't need to be exactly.
You could do it on a different I guess I'm
just curious, you know. Or is it people are like,
at the end of the day, this is a very
whitewashed holiday and we all know, and we're finally coming
to terms with for sure, you know, Like.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I feel, it's like a holiday wrapped up with like anxiety.
There's like you're you're trying to force like gratitude. I mean,
of course, there's plenty of things that we can easily
just be like, I'm grateful that I have food and
a roof over my head, and like a carter had
me to work like the simple things. But sometimes you're
not really your brain isn't in the mood to like
kick that off. There's there's some shit in our lives
(02:29):
that we always have to deal with that no matter
what day Thanksgiving falls on, it might be a shit day.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Shits, the shit's probably going to be there. Well, here's
you know what it reminds me of like when we
went to the rage room. Yeah, we're like, oh, we
weren't really that rage day. Oh we're really super and
we were like, oh, we're kind of excited, yeah, and
then we got tired in five minutes.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Did well.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
It's sort of the same thing, like what if you're
not feeling super grateful that day, Yeah exactly, but then
two weeks from then, you're like you're just having a
dopamine filled day and you're ready to tell everyone how
much they mean to you. It's like, sorry, didn't fall
on Thanksgiving, so it doesn't fucking count.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
But which that's bullshit, right, It's bullshit right, because honestly,
I mean, we can all smile and fake it, but
I think that's what mainly Thanksgiving with families are is
like smiling it and faking it. I guess now. I
hope that not everybody has to do that, but my
assumption is, you know, a lot it's like you've got
to deal with these people who like raise your anxieties
(03:27):
and all that stuff and pretend to feel grateful because
if not, they're probably gonna be like, don't be a
whiney little bitch.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah. I mean, I think its obviously it totally depends
on so many factors, like how inconvenient is it for
you to get to Thanksgiving? What is your relationship like
with your family? Is it the type of thing where
you're like, oh, I don't get to see them because
I move far away and I love my family, and
this is such a great time where a lot of
people like they have the time off yep, and we
(03:59):
get to do this thing. And sure it's under the
banner of Thanksgiving, but really it's just like a family holiday,
like it's great. And then some people it's like, cool,
I have time off, I don't really want to see
these people, but I feel like I have to see
these people. I feel obligated, right, So it's it's it's
(04:21):
different scenarios.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, exactly, And I think mainly, you know, let's get
into a different juice that like people have to deal
with in regards to the holidays. Like number one, money, right,
you've got it, got to shell it out, take it
wherever you're going for a flight can cost you a
thousand pluss.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Oh my god. Right, and if you make the stupid
decision that I did, which was to grow a family. Yeah,
like you're talking like just to travel, Like you could
get a car, for sure, it wouldn't be a great car,
but you could get a car with the money to
pay for plane tickets for a party of four.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, but you'll go into dead and you know what
it's It's like the stats are that nearly seven out
of ten Americans actually feel financially insecure, wildly and secure.
And out of ten, yes, seventy percent in regards to
the holiday travel and all the money that they have
to shell out, which means now we're like, I mean,
in my imagination, if it's seventy percent, that is a
(05:19):
lot of people that are either going don't want them
to notice, I'm going to drown in debt, or they're
gonna go, I'm not gonna do it, and either they'll
be sad at home, I guess, or they won't be
in the way things wine and charcuterie board, yeah, and
Netflix and everybody take out with friends that don't have
the ability to go see their family either or are
(05:39):
in a situation where they don't have family, or they're
you know, they don't want to.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
But yeah, I mean I think also, remember when does
Thanksgiving fall right before the end of the month, right,
so you're going back to potentially a shitty job, and
you've got bills and rent and blue you've got ready,
so like, and then for people that don't get paid
time off, like they're not employed in a traditional sense
by a company, right, Like, they're just losing money during
(06:07):
the holiday because if they're billing by you know, hourly
or it's by project and those things aren't happening exactly.
So then on top of it, you're like cool, cool, cool,
and like having this you know break to hang out
with people. But it's costing me a lot, Yeah, because
everything shuts down and I don't just get paid because
I'm on a salary. It's a tough time to be like, yay,
(06:29):
I get to spend all this money to travel and
potentially get you know, delayed on my flight. Thanksgiving the
time off, like it should just be a week. You're
like you could literally be with your family, yeah for
like a day, and then the rest of the time
is traveling, Like you're in a fucking airport, You're in
a car driving three hours from their Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Why am I spending seven hundred dollars to be waterboarded
by my family? Like and then I mean it's just no.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
And you know it's crazy that is last year had
a record number high of flights and a record like
low of cancellations and delays. Like last year was like
smooth sailing for airports, for airlines. We are the government
(07:21):
is shut down TSA and air traffic control.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Still rebuilding the West WAT like people are.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Calling in sick because no one's getting fucking paid. Yeah,
and like we don't know where we'll be at by
the time this episode airs. But literally, like they're pilots
taking off and they they call in to air traffic
control and they get this response nothing, Uh, air traffic
control is not available due to staffing. That's what the
(07:51):
pilot is getting. Who the fuck knows what's gonna happen.
He's giving travel this year?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Is that like gonna exacerbate your rage because you're stuck
in a terrible position, or like, you know, how do
people deal with that? Because there are some people who
are going to have to go and they just are like,
I have to go see my family. This is what
we do, and they got to shout the money, they
got to go, they got to show up, and it's
like and you know that they're gonna get probing questions
(08:17):
of like what's the job, why, why are you single?
You lost? Way did you.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Get and then it's like, oh, are they still underpaying
you or they're still overworking you? And it's like yeah,
but what else do you like? What's my alternative? You
think there's just I can go to the grocery store
and go to the cereal aisle of jobs, yeah, and
be like, oh yeah, I don't like cheerios anymore. Oh
there's all of these other brands not the employment landscape, right.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
And it's funny because those are the lines that we
see in any rom calm that has to deal with
the holidays, where they're like, eh, you look getting bigger
than you are. Grandma's coming. I'm like, you know, Sultan anymore?
Like whatever it is. Ideally, those when it's real and
not in a freaking rom com.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Movie that has to do with such a bummer.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It sucks, It's okay, and now what have we done.
We've shelled out money for traveling along with the.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Food that you got to buy the airport. It's where
do they wire anything that you're cooking? And then if
somehow your family's going out to dinner and it's.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I mean, it's all just so much money. And then
like also there's politics that come up, right.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Sorry, that's yeah. So the other big area I think,
like more now more than ever, is politics, And I think,
what is it? One in four Americans are thinking of
of opting out, kipping it.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
All, gipping it as they don't have to talk about
that part of it is.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, I could deal with it before. Now we're on
a level that I've been so emotionally decimated. I don't
have anything left in the tank. Yeah, so are we
just walking into a nuclear minefield? Like that's sounds like
a great fucking holiday.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Sign me up. Yeah, Episode six of the last season
of The Bear. Yeah, what it is, Jamie Lee Curtis,
That's what Thanksgiving is for all the things that we
have lined up that you're talking about, money, travel, feeling
luring out of the pores. Yeah, it's they're so much
there that is underneath down here that can like you
(10:22):
feel it in your gut and it's not good.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And I think people don't. I think they're emotionally threadbare.
They don't have they don't have the defense mechanism anymore.
So Yeah, I would think that like they've just been
pushed to a level. Like, right, imagine if you have
had a good friend, a family member, someone you've been
married to that's been kidnapped by ice, and then you
(10:46):
go home to your conservative family and you want to
you want to pass the green beans.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, no we can't and.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Be like, hey, you voted for my fucking wife to
be deported, right, you're sick yea, But yeah, the potatoes
are great.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I mean that in that in that case, obviously they
are gonna be the ones that are like not going,
can't do it.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, but I think people, you know, on some I
gave kind of an extreme example, but it's unfortunately not
an unlike. It does exist. Those examples do exist, But
on whatever level that is for you, I think that's
what's happening for me.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I agree, And later we're gonna get to our kind
of the week. She's awesome. She's an angel who walks
amongst us.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Okay, and by that it sounds like we're talking about
a dead person. We'll find out if she's dead or alive.
And just so in case you forgot, Hunt of the
Week stands for great Jesus, unapologetic, notorious, son.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Of a woman, lash man, especially them slush curtains, slash line,
slush cat.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Do you like our curtains, guys, tell us in the comments,
tell us in the comments if you like our plums
set up.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Literally, this took three hours just to put a nail
there and have the sign not fall to the ground.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
We did try duct tape, okay, did we We tried.
We tried.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
It didn't didn't go well. Anyway, should we get to
the Rage hotline?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Let's do it.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
You've reached the Rage Hotline, Please leave us a message, and.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Just as a reminder, we want to hear from you.
Please call us at the Rage Hotline at two.
Speaker 1 (12:26):

And after this we're going to get into the Great
Thanksgiving meltown. We're gonna chat about it.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I mean that happy turcky day celeration.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well we'll get we'll get deeper into it. Anyway, let's
let's do the hotline.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Yeah, we got an email this week. A few years ago,
we got invited to a friend's thanks togiving in the
Hollywood Hills area. Everything was perfect, down to the linens,
which had been custom ordered through caterers. The event was outside,
and my friend had gone through rate legs to rent
great wooden folding chairs, long tables, and beautiful floral arrangements.
(13:06):
The problem was we all got sick within what felt
like minutes it was probably forty five. We were running
in pairs to the bathroom. Luckily there were two bathrooms,
but it wasn't enough for the ten guests, and very
shortly into the next hour, our host ran out of
toilet paper. That's when things got worse. Oh God, folks,
(13:29):
don't ever all caps cook your stuffing inside the turkey.
Oh shit, that fatefully unfortunate night was brought to you
by a food born illness caused by samonilla. Or if
you do, just make sure you have stockpiled enough toilet
paper and have ample guest bathrooms.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Okay, there's so many things here. Like, first of all,
the way that you described it, it sounded like it
was the sequel to the menu.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
That real life situation would have damaged me. I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
The other thing is it's like this is the thing
turkey and cooking turkeys. It's a like that's an investment.
Did you get it can go wrong so easily. Yeah,
Like I've seen like just skilled technicians in the kitchen
fuck up turkeys for sure. And then it's like they
spent twenty four hours cooking this bird. And then these people.
(14:21):
By the way, so you said there there weren't enough,
like there's only two? What the fuck does that mean?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Meaning that means people shit their pants? Yeah? No, no, no,
I'm pulling them down. I'm going in the corner. I'm
shitting on their pots. I don't know, maybe flowers. I
don't want to do it, but what gotta do it.
There's a lot of real estate. We're talking about Hollywood Hills.
What if they couldn't get to a plant in time?
Are they just are they full on pulling their pants
down and shitting on the marbles, just naked, just naking
(14:53):
it out and out in plane view for sure, taking
a shit on the lawn, Like, is that what's happening?
I would you find a corner? You don't do it
right in the middle of the lawn. Air, but we
can't do with middle.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
But I'm saying, if you got to find the corner,
you know how that's I know how that is when
you get food poisoning.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I mean there's it's coming out.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, there's no. You don't have time, you don't have
like a control valves.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Listen, here's what you hope that your butt explodes, not
towards a window, but towards a wall.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I'm going into the bathroom. I'm taking a towel, I'm
making it into a diaper. I'm getting into my car,
and I'm driving the fuck home.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
But like, you can't even get to the bathroom because
there's not enough, Like what if you're not first in line.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I find the linen closet and I steal it.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
To Okay, so you just start rifling through this house
like you start going to whatever.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
You just start opening the door linens, I take linens,
I secure my car, and I drive the fuck out
of that.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah, because I was gonna say I'd be a little
too worried about my car at that.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Point to say, why a diaper with like some like
you know, fitted sheet that's for a guest room.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
We know going to go through And then I unked
through the into the chair.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
She triple folds it.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
And then I buy them a new set. I buy
them a new set, and I send it and I say,
thank you for what.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Do you mean you buy them a new set? They
fucking gave you salmonila. You buy them nothing, You buy
them nothing, absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I did that at my cousin's house. Once I got
really really well. I went up into her guest bathroom
and I got so sick everywhere, and I cleaned it
up with these towels and threw them all away because
I felt so bad because I had to hide the evidence.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Yeah you.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
And so then I went home and I like ordered
her really nice, very.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Different, very different, very I just love the idea of
someone who's about to explode everywhere, just like rapidly opening
every single cupboard, every single drawer, she like finds like
the stash of dildos and she's just.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Like throwing them out. I need a fucking jade.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Oh god, get that throw from the fucking chess lounge
that I saw on level seven.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Now that I'm really thinking about it, I look under
the kitchen sink for those big lawn black bags. We'd
put that over the car seat and blasting right. That's
helping us. And then we shove a sheet down our pants.
If we don't have, you got to just get to shoven.
And then we also do the sheet just we're gonna
(17:18):
tie it. Then we're also gonna put a second bag over.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
The double bagging air, double double bagging. You know what
else this is? This is telling me you always bring
a change of clothes when you go to someone's Thanksgiving dinner. Oh,
new rule, new rule work. What do you mean too
much work?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
It's a go bag.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Just throw it in your throw a pair of pants,
like at least a pair of pants, Tara. If all
you had to do is thirty seconds of grab a
pair of jeans and throw it in the car, meant
you didn't have to go find some random fitted sheet.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
If they had cats, I'd go find the cattle litter box.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
The litter box is good.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
That's really that you have that time. I'm not hearing
that these people have that time.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
That's what I'm saying, how do you have time to
put on a new pair of pants? You don't.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I'm saying, if you ship your pants, then at least
you have a new pair of pants.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I would pray to God that you are not shitting
in your pants. And you're saying, excuse me, excuse me,
I just I shit my pant just gonna change my pants?
Is still hang out? Nobody is still hanging out?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Who the fuck is still hanging out when they're riddled
with salmonila induced diarrhea?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
You no, like we're on vacation. Shit, just bring and changing. No, no, no, no,
you having this ship? This ship?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
No, I have the plan. Oh boy, it's not good.
The odds are stacked against you that it's not going
to go everywhere. So let's just say you ship your
pants and then it's all over. Then whatever, the opportunity
is gone. So then you ask like, hey, can I
jump in your shower? And then you have the pair
(19:01):
of pants, and now you're fully clean, wear the pair
of pants. And by the way, no one's staying to
hang out after that. Also, people are still like writhing
in abdominal pain.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I know.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
But when you get salmonila, are you fucking kidding me.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Think of how irresponsible it is of you to suggest
a shower when there's six other people out there who
got the fucking bathroom.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
They need to show the six other people got the bathroom.
You don't need the shower if you got the toilet.
That's my point.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
You're gonna have to shower someone explosive diarrhea in the
same room. You know that, right?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
You know, you do a rotation like it's just like
there's it's pooping, it's coming out peep.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
It's kind of already pooped. People are I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I don't know, I've already pooped. I don't just like
that that cruise ship, oh poop cruise. All right, So
I think that's it for the Ridge Hotline.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
We are playing Would you rather Holiday Family Rage Edition? Okay,
here's the first one. Would you rather have someone ask
you if you're still single? Or if you've tried that
new ozempic thing?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Oh shit, oh.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
God, Honestly, I would just be like, yeah, and I
might you got a hook up for ozempic? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
You more than the single thing.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I feel like either of them are they saying are
you still single? I would just go yeah, and it's great. Yeah,
I know sometimes it's not, but yeah, it's pretty cool.
I got two awesome black cats and I don't have
to deal with anybody weird when I come home.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
It depends on how long I was single. But yeah, yeah,
I'm on ozempic. It's great. You might want to try it. Exactly,
I've never lost an I've never been happier, right and
not me? And also my doctor is so much nicer
to me when I go for my physicals exactly, like
I don't know, yeah, exactly, like why do you or
(20:53):
do you have something against it?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I'd be like, being single is great. You have to
deal with uh, that one over there because that's who
you chose, and ozempic ites on your mind, probably for
a reason. Let's go next.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Would you rather get in a screaming match over politics
or fake laugh through an MLM pitch from your cousin
who just quit her job to empower women?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
The material alone, Oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
And also I'd have so many questions, so many questions.
Can I try the product? How many are in your
down line? Like it would be so it would be
so entertainment and I'd.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Be like, what car are you going to get? Would
you get the ten at the bottom right? What we're
building and how and how the middle?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
And what's your pitch to people to become part of
your downline?
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Totally?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
You know, tell me the pitch?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
And do you provide food and drinks at your meetings?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And how did you feel about that show with Kirsten
Dunst in Florida? Yeah, I feel like a heated discussion
of over politics. While might feel like a release, is
also just a bummer. And then like then you have
to deal with making up with people like episodes six,
you can have a lot of fun with that with
that MLM choice.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You really can. I prefer to do that show.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
And then you're gonna have a lot to talk about
with your friends when you finally get out of there.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Next, would you rather find out your sister's sleeping with
your old hookup or find out that your mom still
texts your ex?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Probably that, Well, I'm an only child, But imagine.

Your old hookup. Oh so it wasn't a real boyfriend, Like,

Speaker 1 (22:46):
I don't. I think it's kind of texting thee Well,
if they were terrible, like if they were the bad one,
you'd be like, yeah, come on, loyalty. But if they
were good and you ended on okay notes but okay
X is like you're no longer friends your mom, her
loyalty should beat to me or to you.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Well, Also because it's like to still talk to them,
that means that your mom is like, yeah, you fucked up.
You let a good one get away, you know, and
then you're having you know that like.

That's the big That's an magic one I go through
while dating every day. Erica. It's the worst. Next.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Would you rather have your grandma ask what pegging is
or have to explain it to her?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Oh my god, I want both things to happen. First
of all, my grandmother was fucking hilarious. That would have
been such a good time, so funny, And also for
a grandma to ask what that is? Is such a
good time for Tony one. Everybody semblance of a sense
of humor at the table, like we're living for that,
(24:05):
we are living for I would at the dinner. Now,
I didn't pay for that to happen. I didn't spend
Thanksgiving with my grandma, but I still Christmas. We would.
We would feed her things to.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Say to say, oh yeah, God.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I would tell her like there was this thing on
South Park like I don't if you watch it, you know,
like it's butters.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Everyone knows.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
But we would tell my grandma to say that.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
She would say, I love her, but old people are
great day, Like we don't give a anymore. I'm so
close to that at the end of the tunnel, and like,
what do you want me to say? I'll say what,
I don't give a who I'm.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
But also I feel like, especially with women, it's like
I'm finally living out the personality I wasn't allowed to
have for like the first sixty years of my life.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Please somebody write in the comments if your grandma has
asked what pegging is or anything like that, and what
her response was when she found out what it was.
What if she was like, oh, that's all it is. Yeah,
we've all done that, we've all Why do you just
call it this and some old timey phrase for it?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Oh my god, it's like it's so good. All right.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Next, would you rather accidentally sext your family group chat
or have your mom accidentally post her boudoir photos?
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Oh? For sure, boudoir to accidentally sext your family? Oh
my god, so feeling that makes me feel icky my
vagina just like right up, yeah, it became the sahara. Yeah,
it was just yep, it actually folded in on itself.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
You're literally going out and going I'm becoming a nun.
And that was how I used to be and how
now I am.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Now.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Imagine imagine if you were like talking about your clit
and it's like to your whole old family terrible. Oh
my god, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
That gives me. I feel it down here right like
the bottom.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Oh my god, makes me sick.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Literally, you're just like, oh my god, thank god, there
is an undue send. But we're not even.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
But when people are bored at the holidays, so they're
right on their phone.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
They really are there.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
They're really they're reading it before you came down at
that one girl's house where they drop the phones at
the door. No, so she's not sex in her family
because they drop the phones.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Oh but what if she sneak and so she doesn't know.
She doesn't know that that it went to the family
thing until now it's way too late. It's they're all
looking at it.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Well, no, they don't have their phones either, but it's
when they get to their phones, when they get their
phone and all at the same time because everyone's getting
on their phones.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Oh no, they have started a side chat.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
Here's the if you never are gonna go away because
it's going to be brought up every fucking year.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Remember so bad you got any more?
Speaker 3 (27:11):
One? Would you rather have your family roast your podcast
on Thanksgiving? Or play it on the TV while everyone
stares silently at you?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Okay, so one of those things is just gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Yeah, absolutely, So I'll just take it.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
We know that the podcast is going to get roast
watching putting a podcast on that's your podcast for everyone
to silently watch alongside of you fucking kill me.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Set the house on fire.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Oh my god, like blood, lets me to death. Why
are they silent. It's so weird.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
I would be like, we don't have to you go uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
And if you're interested, if you're not amongst eat.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
On the other side of things, when people make you
watch their stuff, oh god, oh my god, oh my god,
and like what.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
It's strategy, not it's tragedy. Here's what us Okay, here's
a ps A. You got something to show people, here's
what you do. You say, I did a thing. I
would love it. If you watch it, I'll send it
to you. You do not pull it up there then
and there.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
But that's like we shouldn't be having to say this.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
I agree, But I'm just saying if there's people out
there that are like I would love for you to
watch my thing, do not say hey, where can I
play it? No, you say oh oh, And if they
seem interested, you email it.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
And it's usually like, do you guys want to watch
it right now?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
No? They don't watch it right You don't want to
watch it right now?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
You just like completely killed the vibe for the rest
of the night.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Totally. We want to drink alcohol and eat pie. We
don't want to watch it. But also what they.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Might like it. It's even if they might like it
to watch it in front of people. Oh my god,
now you're suddenly like it's deer in the headlights.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I gotta ask you, what are you pretending to be
grateful for? You got thing? Or also you, Wendy, are
you pretending to be grateful for anything?
Speaker 3 (29:10):
I'm not pretending to be grateful because I actually really am.
And I think we'll talk about this on another episode.
I worry that I might be one of those people.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
With toxxsic positives.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
I worry that that might be me.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah, high levels of CO two. I'm very emotional, glass
half full, be grateful for every day everything.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
And I love one.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
For me, it's on and off every every day, it's
glass half empty. And in that say might be.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I am forever a cynic, but behind every cynic is
a hopeless romantic. So it's like, I mean, look, oh
well I would be I don't know, I'd be an
asshole to not be grateful for my kids. Of course,
there's plenty of people that aren't. I mean, and I
respect that too, like you all do your own thing,
but like it would just be weird for me not
to be. But I also I'm not one of those
(30:00):
people that necessarily needs to like shehut that out right?
You know, I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I don't want to. I don't like think I need
to shout it out either. I think it's like if
you want to wake up and be like, you know,
thank God for not God? Well, well, yes God. If
you're into God, thank God.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
If you're into the mother Earth or the tree, or
we're gonna count of the week if you want to
think come to the week, or your cat that you're like, oh,
there's roof over my head, all this stuff, I love it.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I'm like, yes, we have to remember to be grateful.
My next question is I just have to ask canned
cranberry sauce or does it need to be homemade? I
gotta know because and I want the people to comment
that are you into canned cranberry sauce or you like,
absolutely not and it has to be homemade.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
I like both. Sorry, I don't sorry, I don't sorry.
Like I'm an Ambi taster, I'll do both. I've had all.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
It does not compare to can and will be because
of the sugar you like, because you want more of
the sugar and sugar it up in the homemade. What
are you doing?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
You can't make it up. You can't make up for that.
It's just like there's a reason why homemade cookies have
less sugar than like if you get a store bough cookie.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
How do you feel if you're at it? If they
have a long family prayer, I'm like, no, are you in?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
I check out immediately. But here's but I also for
the food. Amen.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I went to Piscopalion school and I didn't believe in it.
Then like I you know what I mean? Like I
checked out.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I had checked out the rosemoparador that makes it tape parade.
Everybody wakes up a down. Do you guys do that?
Or no? You can rewatch it right on reruns.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I don't watch it at all. Some people are so savage,
they're like, you have to get up. It has to
be watching the raid. By the way, I don't fucking
have to do anything.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I am okay, I'm with you, Okay, okay, Bill with fishing.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I don't fucking have to get up. Call back Bill, Bill,
and I don't have a fucking get up to watch
a bunch of roses glued together on a float. Listen
to that, Bill, unless unless it's like the most amazing
thing that's gonna make me laugh my ass off, thank you. No,
(32:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
I'm not interested. Last thing. You know the people that
post the gratitude thankfulness and they're like hashtag bless. Like
we just said, I don't need discream it from rooftops.
It's I'm not like hosting a gratitude list on Instagram
women exact woman exactly. Now let's move on to our
(32:36):
lovely fun of the week, shall I? Now a reminder
kind of the week stands for.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Courageous, unapologic, notorious woman today.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
It just hop ons to be a woman and we
all love her. Okay, now should we state the facts
and see if the people, like in their brains can guess.
So I'll just state one. She's one of us because
she and her family start eating around Thanksgiving and keep
it going through the first of January and then they'll
they're like, we'll go on a diet soon after. And
(33:08):
I'm like, that's how the holidays.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Should you just want people to just eat NonStop from
November to January? Is what you're saying? Yes, absolutely, but
that's just how it goes, right, Like that's just and
also I always feel like it's really cold, so we
need to eat more.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Totally totally, You're like, I need you pack it in
so that I don't have to wear any.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I'm just clothing. I need to eat more. It's called natural.
That's why I'm That's why I'm eating a tube of
cookie dough.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
It's the best way to go. I also like that
she told here's my most favorite thing, and I'll just
say who it is. Then you guys can you guys
can dig in. I like that she told her husband
that she kills over in bed, you have to throw
and lipstick on her before notify her anyone. And I'm like, dude,
(33:54):
that's me too. So I'll just say I'm night in.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
You ebar Okay, Okay, I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
You gotta come my house.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
I need to get the regimen.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
I need to learn the exactly we're gonna learn the callers.
We're gonna we're gonna learn what looks good. And then
if I kill over and you learn, you're like crap,
I gotta get over.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Okay. So here's the thing. This might be controversial. I'm
not into corpses.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, well, but I'll do it. If it's fresh. What
if I'm fresh?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
No, no, no, I'm not. I'm really not into corpses,
but I will do it for you.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Now. Our kind of the week is Dolly Parton because
she uses her platform to consistently serve others rather than
promote herself. She's just a queen and she's in she's
in sequence, and she looks good and she's just she's
grateful and and just spreads positive energy and a lover
and I think she's really.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Great for Thanksgauing. She's so great. I mean Dolly, I
mean Dolly Parton's kind of like again, she's like one
of those things that nobody doesn't like her exactly, like
nobody doesn't like her.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
I didn't And you know what I'll tell you, I
didn't know that she had an imagination library where I
didn't know that that. It's like to all from zero
to five. Yeah, anywhere where you live you get books
for free, like she was.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
She's like so about like getting positive shit done. Like
she doesn't let all the other ship get in her way.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
She's the best man.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
She donates a lot of money. She's donated to various
disaster reliefs. She has donated to the Middle Tennessee flooding.
She also helped fund the vaccine.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Oh yeah, wait what was that? It was a great phrase.
It was one of her songs. What the fuck was it?
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Oh? Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine?
Speaker 2 (35:41):
And the wait what was but what was the tagline?
Speaker 3 (35:44):
I'm begging you, please don't hesitate vaccine, vaccine, vaccine once
you're dead. That's a bit too late.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
That's so good, that's so I wonder how people in
the South. I call it the jab, but how they
felt about that.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
The job, the job, the job, get the job.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
No, but they would be like, don't get the jab
because it'll kill you. Now.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
See, here's here's what I think. I think she's kind
of like untouchable. Yes, yeah, I think she's a superhero.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Like I don't think those people aren't gonna go to
Dollywood because she's pro vaccine. Yeah no, I think she
has her own fucking amusing aren't called Dollywood exactly?
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Like, and you know what, I really would love to go.
So I want to go out to pay for our
trip to Dollywood. We would really love to go. And
if you have a place to say, or you have
an airbnb or whatever, Okay, you have to number one.
You caused two and three two nine three five nine
nine five. You could email us it rage at the
ragepod dot com just like get us in there. We'd
(36:45):
love it.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
But also we're working nine to five.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
We really multiple nine to five's again, I get it.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I did.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
One cool thing about Dolly Parton is she wrote the
song I.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Will Always Love You Yes, and then.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Elvis Presley wanted to record it, but part of him
recording it is he wanted part of the publishing. She said,
fuck no, this is myself so much, didn't give up
any of the publishing. Kept it. Fast forward. How many
years later, Jimme Houston records it biggest hit of.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
All, the most amazing, And also, like that just shows
like that just shows her constitution, because it's got to
be hard to like give your song, like such a
huge song that's so emotionally indicative of like you and
your personal experiences to someone else who's like massive pop singer,
amazing singer for sure, Like it's gotta be hard to
(37:36):
do that, and like it just shows how like strong
her constitution is. That she was just like, no, she's
going to sing the song. She's going to sing the
hell out of it. Yeah, and I'm I can handle that.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
And she's also recorded all of her songs so that
when she dies that people have access to it and
can license them so that they can still do like
do duets with her or that's amazing songs. And I
just think she's been working on that for a minute,
and I think that that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
She's about community, really is about community.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
And we love her. Anyway, We've got to go, so
we love you. Guys. Go scream into a stuffing pan
or whatever you want.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
To do, but don't put that stuffing in a turkey. God,
don't put that stuffing Awise.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
You're gonna need a couple of bags. It's it's the menu,
Part two. God bless America. We will see you when
we see you.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
Bye,
Let's drop in. Welcome to the Rage Pod.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
This is where we rage against the serene and all
the things in between. I'm here with the Tara Erickson.
We're talking about Turkey Day. Yeah, yeah, Thanksgiving, Thanks for nothing,
thanks for nothing. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Oh that's good. She wanted to Oh that's good.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I like it. That's from an old comedy. Oh what's
gone Chase?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
All right, keep on moving.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
So it's a golf comedy. I'm gonna get I.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Don't know it. Oh no, I don't believe. I've watched it,
and I'm like, no freaking joke. My job is watching movies.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
But so there you go, real rejects.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
I got get the although he'll drop.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
To be honest, guys, Chevy Chase is an asshole, but anyway,
he is a real fucking bona fide asshole. Everybody knows
this in.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
The That's literally why.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
He was the character and community was written for him
the way that it was written. Anyway, So we're here
to talk about turkeys Giving. A lot of Americans still
celebrate the holiday, but it is sort of on the
decline of like people opting out. Yeah, you're like, you
know what, I don't I don't know if I'm gonna
fucking feel thankful on that day, and I don't want
(01:31):
the pressure to feel thankful, I might be hungover and
bitchy and I'm told to lean into my feelings. Yeah,
or is it like turns out I actually am gonna
be honest, I don't like turkey unless it's swimming in cranberry. Yeah,
and gravy and.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Bravy gotta have the biscuits, the roles there, and honestly,
you gotta have the stuffing too.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
But here's the thing, right, you could do that on
a different day. I mean, it doesn't need to be exactly.
You could do it on a different I guess I'm
just curious, you know. Or is it people are like,
at the end of the day, this is a very
whitewashed holiday and we all know, and we're finally coming
to terms with for sure, you know, Like.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I feel, it's like a holiday wrapped up with like anxiety.
There's like you're you're trying to force like gratitude. I mean,
of course, there's plenty of things that we can easily
just be like, I'm grateful that I have food and
a roof over my head, and like a carter had
me to work like the simple things. But sometimes you're
not really your brain isn't in the mood to like
kick that off. There's there's some shit in our lives
(02:29):
that we always have to deal with that no matter
what day Thanksgiving falls on, it might be a shit day.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Shits, the shit's probably going to be there. Well, here's
you know what it reminds me of like when we
went to the rage room. Yeah, we're like, oh, we
weren't really that rage day. Oh we're really super and
we were like, oh, we're kind of excited, yeah, and
then we got tired in five minutes.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Did well.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
It's sort of the same thing, like what if you're
not feeling super grateful that day, Yeah exactly, but then
two weeks from then, you're like you're just having a
dopamine filled day and you're ready to tell everyone how
much they mean to you. It's like, sorry, didn't fall
on Thanksgiving, so it doesn't fucking count.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
But which that's bullshit, right, It's bullshit right, because honestly,
I mean, we can all smile and fake it, but
I think that's what mainly Thanksgiving with families are is
like smiling it and faking it. I guess now. I
hope that not everybody has to do that, but my
assumption is, you know, a lot it's like you've got
to deal with these people who like raise your anxieties
(03:27):
and all that stuff and pretend to feel grateful because
if not, they're probably gonna be like, don't be a
whiney little bitch.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah. I mean, I think its obviously it totally depends
on so many factors, like how inconvenient is it for
you to get to Thanksgiving? What is your relationship like
with your family? Is it the type of thing where
you're like, oh, I don't get to see them because
I move far away and I love my family, and
this is such a great time where a lot of
people like they have the time off yep, and we
(03:59):
get to do this thing. And sure it's under the
banner of Thanksgiving, but really it's just like a family holiday,
like it's great. And then some people it's like, cool,
I have time off, I don't really want to see
these people, but I feel like I have to see
these people. I feel obligated, right, So it's it's it's
(04:21):
different scenarios.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Yeah, exactly, And I think mainly, you know, let's get
into a different juice that like people have to deal
with in regards to the holidays. Like number one, money, right,
you've got it, got to shell it out, take it
wherever you're going for a flight can cost you a
thousand pluss.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Oh my god. Right, and if you make the stupid
decision that I did, which was to grow a family. Yeah,
like you're talking like just to travel, Like you could
get a car, for sure, it wouldn't be a great car,
but you could get a car with the money to
pay for plane tickets for a party of four.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Yeah, but you'll go into dead and you know what
it's It's like the stats are that nearly seven out
of ten Americans actually feel financially insecure, wildly and secure.
And out of ten, yes, seventy percent in regards to
the holiday travel and all the money that they have
to shell out, which means now we're like, I mean,
in my imagination, if it's seventy percent, that is a
(05:19):
lot of people that are either going don't want them
to notice, I'm going to drown in debt, or they're
gonna go, I'm not gonna do it, and either they'll
be sad at home, I guess, or they won't be
in the way things wine and charcuterie board, yeah, and
Netflix and everybody take out with friends that don't have
the ability to go see their family either or are
(05:39):
in a situation where they don't have family, or they're
you know, they don't want to.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
But yeah, I mean I think also, remember when does
Thanksgiving fall right before the end of the month, right,
so you're going back to potentially a shitty job, and
you've got bills and rent and blue you've got ready,
so like, and then for people that don't get paid
time off, like they're not employed in a traditional sense
by a company, right, Like, they're just losing money during
(06:07):
the holiday because if they're billing by you know, hourly
or it's by project and those things aren't happening exactly.
So then on top of it, you're like cool, cool, cool,
and like having this you know break to hang out
with people. But it's costing me a lot, Yeah, because
everything shuts down and I don't just get paid because
I'm on a salary. It's a tough time to be like, yay,
(06:29):
I get to spend all this money to travel and
potentially get you know, delayed on my flight. Thanksgiving the
time off, like it should just be a week. You're
like you could literally be with your family, yeah for
like a day, and then the rest of the time
is traveling, Like you're in a fucking airport, You're in
a car driving three hours from their Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Why am I spending seven hundred dollars to be waterboarded
by my family? Like and then I mean it's just no.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
And you know it's crazy that is last year had
a record number high of flights and a record like
low of cancellations and delays. Like last year was like
smooth sailing for airports, for airlines. We are the government
(07:21):
is shut down TSA and air traffic control.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Still rebuilding the West WAT like people are.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Calling in sick because no one's getting fucking paid. Yeah,
and like we don't know where we'll be at by
the time this episode airs. But literally, like they're pilots
taking off and they they call in to air traffic
control and they get this response nothing, Uh, air traffic
control is not available due to staffing. That's what the
(07:51):
pilot is getting. Who the fuck knows what's gonna happen.
He's giving travel this year?
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Is that like gonna exacerbate your rage because you're stuck
in a terrible position, or like, you know, how do
people deal with that? Because there are some people who
are going to have to go and they just are like,
I have to go see my family. This is what
we do, and they got to shout the money, they
got to go, they got to show up, and it's
like and you know that they're gonna get probing questions
(08:17):
of like what's the job, why, why are you single?
You lost? Way did you.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Get and then it's like, oh, are they still underpaying
you or they're still overworking you? And it's like yeah,
but what else do you like? What's my alternative? You
think there's just I can go to the grocery store
and go to the cereal aisle of jobs, yeah, and
be like, oh yeah, I don't like cheerios anymore. Oh
there's all of these other brands not the employment landscape, right.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
And it's funny because those are the lines that we
see in any rom calm that has to deal with
the holidays, where they're like, eh, you look getting bigger
than you are. Grandma's coming. I'm like, you know, Sultan anymore?
Like whatever it is. Ideally, those when it's real and
not in a freaking rom com.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Movie that has to do with such a bummer.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
It sucks, It's okay, and now what have we done.
We've shelled out money for traveling along with the.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Food that you got to buy the airport. It's where
do they wire anything that you're cooking? And then if
somehow your family's going out to dinner and it's.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I mean, it's all just so much money. And then
like also there's politics that come up, right.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Sorry, that's yeah. So the other big area I think,
like more now more than ever, is politics, And I think,
what is it? One in four Americans are thinking of
of opting out, kipping it.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
All, gipping it as they don't have to talk about
that part of it is.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Yeah, I could deal with it before. Now we're on
a level that I've been so emotionally decimated. I don't
have anything left in the tank. Yeah, so are we
just walking into a nuclear minefield? Like that's sounds like
a great fucking holiday.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Sign me up. Yeah, Episode six of the last season
of The Bear. Yeah, what it is, Jamie Lee Curtis,
That's what Thanksgiving is for all the things that we
have lined up that you're talking about, money, travel, feeling
luring out of the pores. Yeah, it's they're so much
there that is underneath down here that can like you
(10:22):
feel it in your gut and it's not good.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And I think people don't. I think they're emotionally threadbare.
They don't have they don't have the defense mechanism anymore.
So Yeah, I would think that like they've just been
pushed to a level. Like, right, imagine if you have
had a good friend, a family member, someone you've been
married to that's been kidnapped by ice, and then you
(10:46):
go home to your conservative family and you want to
you want to pass the green beans.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
Yeah, no we can't and.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Be like, hey, you voted for my fucking wife to
be deported, right, you're sick yea, But yeah, the potatoes
are great.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I mean that in that in that case, obviously they
are gonna be the ones that are like not going,
can't do it.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, but I think people, you know, on some I
gave kind of an extreme example, but it's unfortunately not
an unlike. It does exist. Those examples do exist, But
on whatever level that is for you, I think that's
what's happening for me.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I agree, And later we're gonna get to our kind
of the week. She's awesome. She's an angel who walks
amongst us.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Okay, and by that it sounds like we're talking about
a dead person. We'll find out if she's dead or alive.
And just so in case you forgot, Hunt of the
Week stands for great Jesus, unapologetic, notorious, son.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Of a woman, lash man, especially them slush curtains, slash line,
slush cat.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Do you like our curtains, guys, tell us in the comments,
tell us in the comments if you like our plums
set up.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Literally, this took three hours just to put a nail
there and have the sign not fall to the ground.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
We did try duct tape, okay, did we We tried.
We tried.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
It didn't didn't go well. Anyway, should we get to
the Rage hotline?
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Let's do it.

Thanksgiving meltown. We're gonna chat about it.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
I mean that happy turcky day celeration.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well we'll get we'll get deeper into it. Anyway, let's
let's do the hotline.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Yeah, we got an email this week. A few years ago,
we got invited to a friend's thanks togiving in the
Hollywood Hills area. Everything was perfect, down to the linens,
which had been custom ordered through caterers. The event was outside,
and my friend had gone through rate legs to rent
great wooden folding chairs, long tables, and beautiful floral arrangements.
(13:06):
The problem was we all got sick within what felt
like minutes it was probably forty five. We were running
in pairs to the bathroom. Luckily there were two bathrooms,
but it wasn't enough for the ten guests, and very
shortly into the next hour, our host ran out of
toilet paper. That's when things got worse. Oh God, folks,
(13:29):
don't ever all caps cook your stuffing inside the turkey.
Oh shit, that fatefully unfortunate night was brought to you
by a food born illness caused by samonilla. Or if
you do, just make sure you have stockpiled enough toilet
paper and have ample guest bathrooms.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Okay, there's so many things here. Like, first of all,
the way that you described it, it sounded like it
was the sequel to the menu.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
That real life situation would have damaged me. I mean.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
The other thing is it's like this is the thing
turkey and cooking turkeys. It's a like that's an investment.
Did you get it can go wrong so easily. Yeah,
Like I've seen like just skilled technicians in the kitchen
fuck up turkeys for sure. And then it's like they
spent twenty four hours cooking this bird. And then these people.
(14:21):
By the way, so you said there there weren't enough,
like there's only two? What the fuck does that mean?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Meaning that means people shit their pants? Yeah? No, no, no,
I'm pulling them down. I'm going in the corner. I'm
shitting on their pots. I don't know, maybe flowers. I
don't want to do it, but what gotta do it.
There's a lot of real estate. We're talking about Hollywood Hills.
What if they couldn't get to a plant in time?
Are they just are they full on pulling their pants
down and shitting on the marbles, just naked, just naking
(14:53):
it out and out in plane view for sure, taking
a shit on the lawn, Like, is that what's happening?
I would you find a corner? You don't do it
right in the middle of the lawn. Air, but we
can't do with middle.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
But I'm saying, if you got to find the corner,
you know how that's I know how that is when
you get food poisoning.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
I mean there's it's coming out.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Yeah, there's no. You don't have time, you don't have
like a control valves.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Listen, here's what you hope that your butt explodes, not
towards a window, but towards a wall.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I'm going into the bathroom. I'm taking a towel, I'm
making it into a diaper. I'm getting into my car,
and I'm driving the fuck home.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
But like, you can't even get to the bathroom because
there's not enough, Like what if you're not first in line.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
I find the linen closet and I steal it.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
To Okay, so you just start rifling through this house
like you start going to whatever.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
You just start opening the door linens, I take linens,
I secure my car, and I drive the fuck out
of that.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah, because I was gonna say I'd be a little
too worried about my car at that.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Point to say, why a diaper with like some like
you know, fitted sheet that's for a guest room.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
We know going to go through And then I unked
through the into the chair.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
She triple folds it.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
And then I buy them a new set. I buy
them a new set, and I send it and I say,
thank you for what.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Do you mean you buy them a new set? They
fucking gave you salmonila. You buy them nothing, You buy
them nothing, absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I did that at my cousin's house. Once I got
really really well. I went up into her guest bathroom
and I got so sick everywhere, and I cleaned it
up with these towels and threw them all away because
I felt so bad because I had to hide the evidence.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Yeah you.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
And so then I went home and I like ordered
her really nice, very.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Different, very different, very I just love the idea of
someone who's about to explode everywhere, just like rapidly opening
every single cupboard, every single drawer, she like finds like
the stash of dildos and she's just.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Like throwing them out. I need a fucking jade.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Oh god, get that throw from the fucking chess lounge
that I saw on level seven.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Now that I'm really thinking about it, I look under
the kitchen sink for those big lawn black bags. We'd
put that over the car seat and blasting right. That's
helping us. And then we shove a sheet down our pants.
If we don't have, you got to just get to shoven.
And then we also do the sheet just we're gonna
(17:18):
tie it. Then we're also gonna put a second bag over.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
The double bagging air, double double bagging. You know what
else this is? This is telling me you always bring
a change of clothes when you go to someone's Thanksgiving dinner. Oh,
new rule, new rule work. What do you mean too
much work?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
It's a go bag.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Just throw it in your throw a pair of pants,
like at least a pair of pants, Tara. If all
you had to do is thirty seconds of grab a
pair of jeans and throw it in the car, meant
you didn't have to go find some random fitted sheet.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
If they had cats, I'd go find the cattle litter box.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
The litter box is good.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
That's really that you have that time. I'm not hearing
that these people have that time.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
That's what I'm saying, how do you have time to
put on a new pair of pants? You don't.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I'm saying, if you ship your pants, then at least
you have a new pair of pants.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I would pray to God that you are not shitting
in your pants. And you're saying, excuse me, excuse me,
I just I shit my pant just gonna change my pants?
Is still hang out? Nobody is still hanging out?
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Who the fuck is still hanging out when they're riddled
with salmonila induced diarrhea?
Speaker 1 (18:33):
You no, like we're on vacation. Shit, just bring and changing. No, no, no, no,
you having this ship? This ship?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
No, I have the plan. Oh boy, it's not good.
The odds are stacked against you that it's not going
to go everywhere. So let's just say you ship your
pants and then it's all over. Then whatever, the opportunity
is gone. So then you ask like, hey, can I
jump in your shower? And then you have the pair
(19:01):
of pants, and now you're fully clean, wear the pair
of pants. And by the way, no one's staying to
hang out after that. Also, people are still like writhing
in abdominal pain.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I know.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
But when you get salmonila, are you fucking kidding me.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Think of how irresponsible it is of you to suggest
a shower when there's six other people out there who
got the fucking bathroom.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
They need to show the six other people got the bathroom.
You don't need the shower if you got the toilet.
That's my point.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
You're gonna have to shower someone explosive diarrhea in the
same room. You know that, right?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
You know, you do a rotation like it's just like
there's it's pooping, it's coming out peep.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
It's kind of already pooped. People are I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
I don't know, I've already pooped. I don't just like
that that cruise ship, oh poop cruise. All right, So
I think that's it for the Ridge Hotline.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
We are playing Would you rather Holiday Family Rage Edition? Okay,
here's the first one. Would you rather have someone ask
you if you're still single? Or if you've tried that
new ozempic thing?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
Oh shit, oh.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
God, Honestly, I would just be like, yeah, and I
might you got a hook up for ozempic? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (20:17):
You more than the single thing.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I feel like either of them are they saying are
you still single? I would just go yeah, and it's great. Yeah,
I know sometimes it's not, but yeah, it's pretty cool.
I got two awesome black cats and I don't have
to deal with anybody weird when I come home.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
It depends on how long I was single. But yeah, yeah,
I'm on ozempic. It's great. You might want to try it. Exactly,
I've never lost an I've never been happier, right and
not me? And also my doctor is so much nicer
to me when I go for my physicals exactly, like
I don't know, yeah, exactly, like why do you or
(20:53):
do you have something against it?
Speaker 1 (20:55):
I'd be like, being single is great. You have to
deal with uh, that one over there because that's who
you chose, and ozempic ites on your mind, probably for
a reason. Let's go next.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Would you rather get in a screaming match over politics
or fake laugh through an MLM pitch from your cousin
who just quit her job to empower women?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
The material alone, Oh my god, I love it.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
And also I'd have so many questions, so many questions.
Can I try the product? How many are in your
down line? Like it would be so it would be
so entertainment and I'd.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Be like, what car are you going to get? Would
you get the ten at the bottom right? What we're
building and how and how the middle?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
And what's your pitch to people to become part of
your downline?
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Totally?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
You know, tell me the pitch?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
And do you provide food and drinks at your meetings?
Speaker 2 (21:50):
And how did you feel about that show with Kirsten
Dunst in Florida? Yeah, I feel like a heated discussion
of over politics. While might feel like a release, is
also just a bummer. And then like then you have
to deal with making up with people like episodes six,
you can have a lot of fun with that with
that MLM choice.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
You really can. I prefer to do that show.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
And then you're gonna have a lot to talk about
with your friends when you finally get out of there.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Next, would you rather find out your sister's sleeping with
your old hookup or find out that your mom still
texts your ex?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Probably that, Well, I'm an only child, But imagine.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
It's your sister hooking up with your ex.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Your old hookup. Oh so it wasn't a real boyfriend, Like,
so someone you just used to hook up.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
And now my sister's hooking up them.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
M that's weird.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I don't. I think it's kind of texting thee Well,
if they were terrible, like if they were the bad one,
you'd be like, yeah, come on, loyalty. But if they
were good and you ended on okay notes but okay
X is like you're no longer friends your mom, her
loyalty should beat to me or to you.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Well, Also because it's like to still talk to them,
that means that your mom is like, yeah, you fucked up.
You let a good one get away, you know, and
then you're having you know that like.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah, but then you're like, fuck you, mom. You didn't
live with me and him, right? You like the toilet
say that he never cleaned up, he farted in bed.
I love those.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Those are the hypotheticals. Or like he never made me laugh.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
That's the big That's an magic one I go through
while dating every day. Erica. It's the worst. Next.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Would you rather have your grandma ask what pegging is
or have to explain it to her?
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Oh my god, I want both things to happen. First
of all, my grandmother was fucking hilarious. That would have
been such a good time, so funny, And also for
a grandma to ask what that is? Is such a
good time for Tony one. Everybody semblance of a sense
of humor at the table, like we're living for that,
(24:05):
we are living for I would at the dinner. Now,
I didn't pay for that to happen. I didn't spend
Thanksgiving with my grandma, but I still Christmas. We would.
We would feed her things to.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Say to say, oh yeah, God.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
I would tell her like there was this thing on
South Park like I don't if you watch it, you know,
like it's butters.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Everyone knows.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
But we would tell my grandma to say that.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
She would say, I love her, but old people are
great day, Like we don't give a anymore. I'm so
close to that at the end of the tunnel, and like,
what do you want me to say? I'll say what,
I don't give a who I'm.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
But also I feel like, especially with women, it's like
I'm finally living out the personality I wasn't allowed to
have for like the first sixty years of my life.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, that's true, that's true.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Please somebody write in the comments if your grandma has
asked what pegging is or anything like that, and what
her response was when she found out what it was.
What if she was like, oh, that's all it is. Yeah,
we've all done that, we've all Why do you just
call it this and some old timey phrase for it?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Oh my god, it's like it's so good. All right.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Next, would you rather accidentally sext your family group chat
or have your mom accidentally post her boudoir photos?
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Oh? For sure, boudoir to accidentally sext your family? Oh

vagina just like right up, yeah, it became the sahara. Yeah,

it right now?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
No? They don't watch it right You don't want to
watch it right now?
Speaker 2 (28:44):
You just like completely killed the vibe for the rest
of the night.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Totally. We want to drink alcohol and eat pie. We
don't want to watch it. But also what they.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Might like it. It's even if they might like it
to watch it in front of people. Oh my god,
now you're suddenly like it's deer in the headlights.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I gotta ask you, what are you pretending to be
grateful for? You got thing? Or also you, Wendy, are
you pretending to be grateful for anything?
Speaker 3 (29:10):
I'm not pretending to be grateful because I actually really am.
And I think we'll talk about this on another episode.
I worry that I might be one of those people.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
With toxxsic positives.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
I worry that that might be me.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Yeah, high levels of CO two. I'm very emotional, glass
half full, be grateful for every day everything.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
And I love one.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
For me, it's on and off every every day, it's
glass half empty. And in that say might be.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I am forever a cynic, but behind every cynic is
a hopeless romantic. So it's like, I mean, look, oh
well I would be I don't know, I'd be an
asshole to not be grateful for my kids. Of course,
there's plenty of people that aren't. I mean, and I
respect that too, like you all do your own thing,
but like it would just be weird for me not
to be. But I also I'm not one of those
(30:00):
people that necessarily needs to like shehut that out right?
You know, I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I don't want to. I don't like think I need
to shout it out either. I think it's like if
you want to wake up and be like, you know,
thank God for not God? Well, well, yes God. If
you're into God, thank God.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
If you're into the mother Earth or the tree, or
we're gonna count of the week if you want to
think come to the week, or your cat that you're like, oh,
there's roof over my head, all this stuff, I love it.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
I'm like, yes, we have to remember to be grateful.
My next question is I just have to ask canned
cranberry sauce or does it need to be homemade? I
gotta know because and I want the people to comment
that are you into canned cranberry sauce or you like,
absolutely not and it has to be homemade.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
I like both. Sorry, I don't sorry, I don't sorry.
Like I'm an Ambi taster, I'll do both. I've had all.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
It does not compare to can and will be because
of the sugar you like, because you want more of
the sugar and sugar it up in the homemade. What
are you doing?
Speaker 2 (31:07):
You can't make it up. You can't make up for that.
It's just like there's a reason why homemade cookies have
less sugar than like if you get a store bough cookie.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
How do you feel if you're at it? If they
have a long family prayer, I'm like, no, are you in?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Oh my god?
Speaker 1 (31:20):
I check out immediately. But here's but I also for
the food. Amen.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
I went to Piscopalion school and I didn't believe in it.
Then like I you know what I mean? Like I
checked out.
Speaker 1 (31:31):
I had checked out the rosemoparador that makes it tape parade.
Everybody wakes up a down. Do you guys do that?
Or no? You can rewatch it right on reruns.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
I don't watch it at all. Some people are so savage,
they're like, you have to get up. It has to
be watching the raid. By the way, I don't fucking
have to do anything.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I am okay, I'm with you, Okay, okay, Bill with fishing.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
I don't fucking have to get up. Call back Bill, Bill,
and I don't have a fucking get up to watch
a bunch of roses glued together on a float. Listen
to that, Bill, unless unless it's like the most amazing
thing that's gonna make me laugh my ass off, thank you. No,
(32:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
I'm not interested. Last thing. You know the people that
post the gratitude thankfulness and they're like hashtag bless. Like
we just said, I don't need discream it from rooftops.
It's I'm not like hosting a gratitude list on Instagram
women exact woman exactly. Now let's move on to our
(32:36):
lovely fun of the week, shall I? Now a reminder
kind of the week stands for.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Courageous, unapologic, notorious woman today.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
It just hop ons to be a woman and we
all love her. Okay, now should we state the facts
and see if the people, like in their brains can guess.
So I'll just state one. She's one of us because
she and her family start eating around Thanksgiving and keep
it going through the first of January and then they'll
they're like, we'll go on a diet soon after. And
(33:08):
I'm like, that's how the holidays.
Speaker 2 (33:10):
Should you just want people to just eat NonStop from
November to January? Is what you're saying? Yes, absolutely, but
that's just how it goes, right, Like that's just and
also I always feel like it's really cold, so we
need to eat more.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Totally totally, You're like, I need you pack it in
so that I don't have to wear any.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I'm just clothing. I need to eat more. It's called natural.
That's why I'm That's why I'm eating a tube of
cookie dough.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
It's the best way to go. I also like that
she told here's my most favorite thing, and I'll just
say who it is. Then you guys can you guys
can dig in. I like that she told her husband
that she kills over in bed, you have to throw
and lipstick on her before notify her anyone. And I'm like, dude,
(33:54):
that's me too. So I'll just say I'm night in.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
You ebar Okay, Okay, I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
You gotta come my house.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
I need to get the regimen.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
I need to learn the exactly we're gonna learn the callers.
We're gonna we're gonna learn what looks good. And then
if I kill over and you learn, you're like crap,
I gotta get over.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Okay. So here's the thing. This might be controversial. I'm
not into corpses.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Yeah, well, but I'll do it. If it's fresh. What
if I'm fresh?
Speaker 2 (34:21):
No, no, no, I'm not. I'm really not into corpses,
but I will do it for you.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Now. Our kind of the week is Dolly Parton because
she uses her platform to consistently serve others rather than
promote herself. She's just a queen and she's in she's
in sequence, and she looks good and she's just she's
grateful and and just spreads positive energy and a lover
and I think she's really.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Great for Thanksgauing. She's so great. I mean Dolly, I
mean Dolly Parton's kind of like again, she's like one
of those things that nobody doesn't like her exactly, like
nobody doesn't like her.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
I didn't And you know what I'll tell you, I
didn't know that she had an imagination library where I
didn't know that that. It's like to all from zero
to five. Yeah, anywhere where you live you get books
for free, like she was.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
She's like so about like getting positive shit done. Like
she doesn't let all the other ship get in her way.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
She's the best man.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
She donates a lot of money. She's donated to various
disaster reliefs. She has donated to the Middle Tennessee flooding.
She also helped fund the vaccine.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Oh yeah, wait what was that? It was a great phrase.
It was one of her songs. What the fuck was it?
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Oh? Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vaccine?
Speaker 2 (35:41):
And the wait what was but what was the tagline?
Speaker 3 (35:44):
I'm begging you, please don't hesitate vaccine, vaccine, vaccine once
you're dead. That's a bit too late.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
That's so good, that's so I wonder how people in
the South. I call it the jab, but how they
felt about that.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
The job, the job, the job, get the job.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
No, but they would be like, don't get the jab
because it'll kill you. Now.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
See, here's here's what I think. I think she's kind
of like untouchable. Yes, yeah, I think she's a superhero.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Like I don't think those people aren't gonna go to
Dollywood because she's pro vaccine. Yeah no, I think she
has her own fucking amusing aren't called Dollywood exactly?
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Like, and you know what, I really would love to go.
So I want to go out to pay for our
trip to Dollywood. We would really love to go. And
if you have a place to say, or you have
an airbnb or whatever, Okay, you have to number one.
You caused two and three two nine three five nine
nine five. You could email us it rage at the
ragepod dot com just like get us in there. We'd
(36:45):
love it.
Speaker 2 (36:45):

Speaker 1 (36:48):
We really multiple nine to five's again, I get it.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I did.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
One cool thing about Dolly Parton is she wrote the
song I.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Will Always Love You Yes, and then.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
Elvis Presley wanted to record it, but part of him
recording it is he wanted part of the publishing. She said,
fuck no, this is myself so much, didn't give up
any of the publishing. Kept it. Fast forward. How many
years later, Jimme Houston records it biggest hit of.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
All, the most amazing, And also, like that just shows
like that just shows her constitution, because it's got to
be hard to like give your song, like such a
huge song that's so emotionally indicative of like you and
your personal experiences to someone else who's like massive pop singer,
amazing singer for sure, Like it's gotta be hard to
(37:36):
do that, and like it just shows how like strong
her constitution is. That she was just like, no, she's
going to sing the song. She's going to sing the
hell out of it. Yeah, and I'm I can handle that.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
And she's also recorded all of her songs so that
when she dies that people have access to it and
can license them so that they can still do like
do duets with her or that's amazing songs. And I
just think she's been working on that for a minute,
and I think that that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
She's about community, really is about community.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
And we love her. Anyway, We've got to go, so
we love you. Guys. Go scream into a stuffing pan
