Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, welcome to the Rage Pod.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Yeah, this is the podcast where we rage against.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
The serene and everything in between. I'm with Tara Erickson.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
And that's e bar hey e. That's what it says.
I wrote down, hey E, I don't ever call.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
You you don't, but she might start doing it today.
It's true. It's true.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
And we got our producer Friendy Wendy. She's gonna go
back and forth, she me Andie yep.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
And she and she sometimes says that she doesn't want
to be called friendy Wendy, but then other times is
okay with it. So we are a little unclear on that,
which means.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
We're gonna absolutely calling her friendly.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Go down on friendy Wendy. Let's get into it. Tell
them what this is about. Okay.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
So people are probably like, are you guys just mad
all the time? And that's not really fully what it is.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
But literally in our script it says we're mad in
our notes. So Tara just denied the whole ethos of
this podcast. This podcast is because we are mad, yeah,
and we want to talk about it, and we think
that you're mad too, and we want to hear about it.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, it's true, because like rage comes out in so
many different ways, so many and we're going to get
into all of it. So let me just let me
just let's just talk about the stuff that's coming up
that we're going to get juice exactly. Let's get the
juice on. So, I mean rage, it covers so many things, right,
you could talk about like sports rage, hormonal rage, which

(01:43):
I have.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Right, are real? All three of us have it, tech rage?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Right? I mean what else?

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Like relationship rage? So wow, that's obviously a big one.
Workplace rage, friendship rage, medical.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Gas sliding rage is a big one.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
That's a big one.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
That's right, mom rage, that's maybe.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
I have that's in there. Yeah, I got some mom rage,
some road rage, some parking lot rage.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
I definitely have, like parking lot range. When I'm waiting
in line rage. I got, like you know, when you
go to the car wash, got rage about that?

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, I want to ask about that.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
When I saw this last night on the list, what
is car wash rag?

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Frendy Wendy has been sitting on that for twenty four hour?
Let me let me dying to know.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Let me light you down for you when you go
to the car wash, Right, and I'm in a Hyundai,
a Lantra, and you got a BMW in front of you,
and they're getting.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
The full juice. Shout out for censorship.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
They're getting the full juice, all the soap. And I
always do the one sign up where it's like shine
the tires, do the armor on.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, yeah, we all do it.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
And I want you anytime there's a big fancy car
in front of me, they're going there getting all the juice.
I get half of it. I'm like waiting for a
little bit of leftover of the BMW. You soap because
I don't pay the full price. I'm waiting to get
to the end. Every time I get to the end,
they're out of the tire. Shine.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Wait, I have so many questions, they're out of it.
So you're saying that the BMW gets more soap, Yes,
because they pay the high price. They're paying like forty
dollars for a wash. I'm paying twelve.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
I'm just trying to get some over that left over
juice they're going in and I hope it flies onto
my car. I'm not paying forty bucks.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
It's some more soap. You think that's the delineation and
the options, Absolutely, I thought it was like, we the services,
not more soap, No.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
More soap, it's more stuff, it's more stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Oh, we're sold. We got to move on. We've got
to move on. Okay, so why are we here? Yeah?
Well why are we here?

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Well?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Tara and I have known each other for some time.
We met roughly in what twenty nineteen. Yeah, we were
doing some high stakes comedy at a at a at
a local club. Very early on. We bonded over being
able to both be total idiots with each other. Yeah. Also,
I recognize this incredible work ethic in you that I

(04:09):
felt like I wasn't finding in a lot of a
lot of the scene.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I'll just say, yeah, we just call it the scene.
Well we all know what we're tagging about.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
If you know us, I don't totally. But anyways, so
it was like we could be these hard working idiots
together totally. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
I mean like during the pandemic. It was funny we
became fast friends because even during the pandemic, I would
show up at Erica's house and we would film sketches.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Six feet are calling them six we're.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Calling them putting it into the ether video six feet apart.
Good old times, Good old times.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
This bitch would show up head to toe covered like goggles.
She might as well have been wearing a scoopersh bag,
and I would call her chernobyls. We were in the
middle totally.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
I would spray lisol in my car and just try
to get a little in my tongue, just thinking, hey,
maybe that works.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, her tongue is permanently sterilized.

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Absolutely.

Speaker 1 (05:08):
We had done some stuff in the past, but we're like,
let's do a podcast, yeah, and what should we talk about?
And we just started kind of complaining as we do,
venting shared discourse.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah, not that that's.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
All we do, but yeah, we get into it. You
get into it, you get into it, and then you're
laughing about it. Yeah, it's like the fun intermingling.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
It's a good old time.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
I mean, I was just telling you guys. I was like, listen,
just what I don't like, Just don't ever walk into
a room and say you're happy.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
And we died. Freendy Wendy and I died because we
knew exactly what you meant. Like, we're not saying we
don't want people to be happy. I just don't want
it happy. And also I'm just gonna throw this out there.
If you're that happy, you might not need to be
talking about it all the time.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I agree, So maybe take Maybe it's a filter, Maybe
it's a you know what that gives me thinking we're
gonna have a kind of the week. But that stands
for courageous, unapologetic, notorious. That's right.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Let's say it together.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Ten of a woman, ten of a woman. You think
you're hearing us wrong, You're not ten of a woman.
We're gonna share it with you later. It's gonna be
a nice pick me up.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
It really is. And I'm I'm super excited because two
out of the three of us know who this person is.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
I know who. The one person who doesn't, it's me
that leads us right into before we get into all
this juice. All right, we got a serious question now listen.
Do you want products at calm your skin and your rage?

Speaker 1 (06:48):
Like for real? Do you want it? Of course? And
there is only one answer to this question. There is
that's yes, and we have the products for you. That's right.
It's so cool. And the Unhippy is a vegan skincare line.
It blends natural ingredients with science got NASA.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
That's right, they're not working with them, but hopefully while
NASA is still around.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, and this skincare has all kinds of mushrooms in it.
It's got ray she shataki, chaga, cortyceps three I can't pronounce. Yeah,
and hopefully I'm pretty sure they don't have Portobellos, which
I just personally don't like. Right, it's a little Oh,
I like them. They're just a little they've got all
that chewy. They're too chewy for me. They're a little chewy.

(07:32):
You gotta trap them up.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
But like, are you telling me there's seven mushrooms.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
In this thing? Seven and that's how they get your
I take every like I take fifteen every more, you
take fifty till morning, you take fifty seven pills. But
that's seven is what gets your skin to glow. What
guess what? Oh my god, we have a promo code.
We have a promo code for twenty five percent off.
You can use the code there. It is use the

(07:58):
code rage at knee on hippie dot com. So let
get into the main juice.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
It means they're probably like, what are we doing here?

Speaker 1 (08:06):
So tell them ebar Okay, Well, we are here to
talk about female rage. We just lost twenty five listeners. No,
we're here to talk about female rage. We are women
and we're mad. As we mentioned earlier, yeah we think
you might be mad, but.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
You're probably thinking like what is it? Why are we
talking about it? So like we're not. Here's the thing.
As women, we're not really supposed to have it, Like
we're not supposed to have rage. You're just supposed to
sort of just like be calm, sit there.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Be nice.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
That's normal. Like if you freak out, it's weird.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
There's an expectation that men are going to rage, and
while it might like irritate people, it's just like, oh,
that's the way it is. I mean, they just looks
strong when they do it. They look strong again, It's
just like, oh, that's what guys do. Yeah, and it's
like that's actually what humans do. I mean, we women
have been we were not even in the constitution for

(09:08):
like one hundred and thirty years, so there.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Was just flatly ignora full.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Lifetimes of women going around where like if you ask
them a question, they could be like, well, I can't
really answer that because I don't exist. I don't know
how to I don't know how to tell you that
because I'm not really here.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Oh it's so bad.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
So like that alone, we should have just like a
thousand years of rage. I agree. We just weren't even.
We just weren't there. We weren't there.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
I mean, yeah, I think just in general in life,
I think just women are probably just really we're just
better at suppressing it, right, yeah.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Better.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
And And the way that I'll tell you, the way
that I deal with it is I get in the
car pedal to the freaking metal, windows down.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
So are you raging then every single minute of the
day that you're on a commute.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
That I'm in, Yes, But you know what, you know
what makes it?

Speaker 1 (10:00):
If he's a fast driver.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
I can really only get to rage out when it's
like a Sunday or a Saturday, when the roads are
a little bit open in.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Traffic, you can't rage. I'm talking about.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
What gets it going for me is hitting seventy five
in a thirty five mile hour zone right like it's dangerous.
I'm probably in the suburbs.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Got to get it out.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
I don't do that. I'd prefer to do it on
the freeway. But yeah, hitting one hundred on the freeway,
windows down, that's like freedom.

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Do you think that it's part that you are going
against the law, like that you are committing or is
it just the feeling of like the wind in your hair?

Speaker 2 (10:38):
And I think it's probably it might be, it might
be both. But there's a power when you're behind the wheel.
I'm in full control, I mean control. It's to one
hundred and forty miles an hour if I want to,
I'm the only one in it. And if I die,
it's my fault.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Well, isn't that so much about? What is it? It's
so much about it's about in control, right, And it's
often like you know, a mask for so many things,
like whether it's it's a mask for sadness, prolonged sadness,
or disappointment. And women have been disappointed quite a bit.
We've been sad about a lot of things, especially, I

(11:17):
mean and then lately right like we weren't in the
constitution for a long time. Then we fought real hard
to get some pretty basic rights, and we thought that
everything was like in a chronological order, like oh, we're
just going to keep going, yeah, no, keep it up. No,
we're going to do a flashback. We're going to do

(11:37):
a retake no more, no more rights for you for.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
Check the tape. But I mean, what what what happens
to you? You know when you get angry?

Speaker 1 (11:45):
I mean, like how many things? So many things?

Speaker 2 (11:48):
You know.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
It's interesting because I have definitely have slammed doors. I've screamed,
you know, scream and I feel like I do things
that are maybe more traditionally attributed to.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Okay, slam in doors, screaming.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, and like I know that that's probably not the
right way to do it. We are working on getting this.
Fantastic author and fellow podcast asked Jennifer Cox on this
show and her book Women Are Angry is really great
and a lot of what she talks about is how

(12:23):
even from a like from when girls are born, yeah,
the expectation for them to be calm and suppress and
avoid any bombastic kind of expression. But another thing that
she brings up is actually when babies are born, and
boy and female babies are their brains look exactly the

(12:48):
same for the most.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Part, So like brain, it's like nature versus nurture. Yeah,
so why do all we just expect out.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
Of the gates, they're going to be more emotionally aware,
They're going to carry the emotional labe or they're gonna
be calm, they're going to know how to read the
room awareness. Like cool, that's great that we have these strengths.
But like maybe like baby boys, like you have that
ability to Yeah, it's okay for you to have that.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Which is like one in a million you'll meet a
guy who's like it can be on your level emotionally,
I guess, and not like lose it or punch wall.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, I mean, you know it's that it's the idea like, oh,
I don't have to think about that because the other
gender will right, right, But it's funny to you. I
see in my girls. I have identical twin girls. They're
just over to. They get pissed, they throw like so,
so don't tell me that girls don't have rage. They

(13:46):
get pissed, Yeah, scream and they'll hit and they'll claw.
They are feral, to be clear, they're feral. They are.
That's the fact. They're fair. But like, how is that?
How is that possible? I haven't been telling them for
like day one out of the womb.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Like rage, right, No, I mean, and I think what's
interesting when we bring in like the guests that we're
gonna have is like they're gonna tell us what happens
in your body when you get bangry, because that's what
we really want, right.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Like all that stuff spikes.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
But I honestly think that a lot of the rage
comes from, like obviously when you're a kid, like they're
in those primal years. I was a kid when I
first experienced It's a weird memory that I have, like
rage where I couldn't protect someone that I wanted to.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
But I was a baby.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
So when now that I grow up, it's if someone
is messing with someone physically and I know that I
can like step in and help them. That's where it
can get problematic for me because I can go from
zero to sixty. That's where my rage kicks in. Cand
I go, Now, I'm not a baby on the floor.
I'm a full blown adult with arms and legs, and

(14:55):
I'll kill you, but I won't.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
But that's how I feel. Right So as your rage
more than like sort of violence into that's what I yes.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
So I mean it had to do with childhood in
regards to my mom and my dad. And my mom
was just she had lupus and MS. She walked with
a cane.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
So she wasn't very physically. She was a badass.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
She was one of the fans of engineers civil engineers
in Nevada.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
But you know, she was.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
A petit little woman who had MS and lupas so
and she was in not a good relationship with my
dad and we had to run away when I was young, right,
but when I was probably four or five or even younger.
This is some weird memory, and you know, I remember
nothing that I remember, like I'm on the ground yelling

(15:43):
like stop or no or something, right as a kid
to be like stop, you know, leave her alone or whatever.
And of course I do remember them stop looking at me,
sort of surprised because I yelled, and I was a child.
Remember nothing after that. But I think that that's all
of our rage comes from somewhere, and I think it

(16:04):
comes from during those formidable years.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
What makes you angry?

Speaker 2 (16:09):
And now if I see someone who is, you know,
seems weaker or is not in a position really to
fully help themselves or defend themselves, I my body will react,
whether it's a good choice or not, to get to intervene.
I just can't help it. And that comes from child.

(16:30):
It's like goa all link.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Well, because too, when you were a kid that was
sort of at that base level you saw, you know,
maybe not in the same idea of injustice as we
know as we get older, right, but something was going wrong,
Like from your worldview, Yes, something was going wrong, something
was happening to either one or both people in that situation,

(16:51):
and you just physically respond it. Yeah, And I think
a lot of times with rage, it is whether it's
a physical need that's not being or emotional or in
some cases it's like, oh, this is not a safe
environment for me and the people in it, and I
need to I'm reacting to that so totally, because you know,

(17:13):
rage is definitely has a lot of negative connotations, but
it is this valuable survival tool because it's an indicator
that something is wrong, an indicator that somebody might not
be safe. It's an indicator that something feels off for
you that is enough for your body and your mind
to react to to say, hey, I've got to communicate something.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
Right, And it's like if it's telling your body that
something or someone has crossed a threshold and it's you're
not good with it, so how do we fix it?

Speaker 5 (17:49):
So?

Speaker 1 (17:49):
Yeah, So It's really interesting that that's how it's manifested
for you in a lot of ways as you've gotten older,
that you have that, Because do you have other poor
memories from that age?

Speaker 2 (18:01):
I'm telling you no.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
That is that's the one.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
That is like one besides when Mela got me little
chickies when I was young because I wanted them and
I was I was real. It's just Mela walking in
the yard Chicki's cool core memory. The other one is
me yelling for them for my dad to stop.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Oh my god, wow, I mean pull her up?

Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know that's that's me.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Pure like rage, which was also fear, right like the
most fear, and then pure joy. Yes, exactly, that makes sense.
I mean, what's your pure fear and pure joy?

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Do you have?

Speaker 1 (18:40):
God? Well, now I'm a mom, so yeah, really you've
got it all. Yeah, honestly, it's I mean, if we're
getting real here, I now worry And this totally speaks
to a lot of what Jennifer Cox talks about in
her book. But I know get afraid that if something
were to happen to me that like, I don't want
my girls to grow up without a mom, right, you

(19:03):
know this is yeah, as opposed to just being afraid
of something happening to me, But then it's also too
I think about it. I was like, oh, I would
miss out on all of these things, and then I
think I can't even process the idea of something happening
to them, so it just like gets shut down in
my brain. Yeah, you can't, you can't deal with it. Yeah,
that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
There's I mean, that's that's many times where I do that,
where you're like I just can't meeting, Like when someone
brings up how an animal or something was.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Hurt or maybe in danger.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
Oh yeah, shut it, shut it down, Shut it down,
of the room, Go talk about it somewhere else, because
I will travel and I will find that person and
I will want to hurt them.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
You will run them over with my car in a
suburban neighborhood with a thirty five mile one hour speed limit,
Building seventy five.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
That's the short film you Mess with the Dog.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
I'm Coming for you in My hun daye launtra.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
One hundred and thirty five miles an hour, thirty housing Suburbia,
track Housing, Suburbia. I show up at your door. You're
gone now right, And the dog and all the chickadees
and the cats. They all survive. They live with me.
I'll take care of them.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
So I did some research online and what I learned
was when we feel upset or angry, the prefrontal cortex,
in the brain's control center, helps us think clearly when
managing negative emotions. Some studies show men have less activity
in the prefrontal cortex during these times, possibly relying more
on automatic responses than deliberate thinking.

Speaker 1 (20:29):
Punch in a wall, punch in a wah in a wall.
But then that's why I was saying, like slamming a door, Yeah,
you're more more. What if I'm just a man, he
might be no offense. I mean a man. I mean.
Here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
It's funny to say that their brains are not lighting
up to go, hey, use your smart to figure this
out without violence.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
And this is what happens in female brains. When women
manage their emotions, their prefrontal cortex shows more activity, suggesting
they use more thoughtful strategies. Women often feel emotions more
intensely than men, which may help the increased brain activity.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
There you go, it lit up our brain. We've got
it lit up like Vegas exactly. They're basically got one
tiny little lad that breaks that's on and off. Honestly,
it's like that Christmas.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Bulb that you got to find a new one. I
want to replace it straight up, but you don't want to.
You're like, do I got so? Then you just stay
with that? You do?

Speaker 2 (21:26):
You let it go in the perfection of looking at it,
that one. But really it gets to you that one
bulb that's out, and that's that's what That's what a
man's brain is like, Yeah, I'm glad we figured that out.
I mean that that gives us some sort of relief
to know when uh, a guy is raging that we're like,

(21:49):
you just you even got it figured out up, period,
and I don't think you ever will.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
So do you have any funny adult rage stories?

Speaker 2 (22:00):
When you're standing in a line? Okay, now listen up.
We're in a line. It's not like there's a square here, right,
There's a lot of people.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
When there's a lot of people in line, and your
way lives in Los Angeles, like a lot of people, there's.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
A long line, and someone behind you for some reason
feels as though they get closer to you. It's gonna
speed up the process. Literally, I feel you breathing on
my neck, which.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Sometimes I get cold, so that would be okay with me, Erica.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
No, we do not know this person, Okay, absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
They can.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Get out of here. You moving up on me is
not gonna make the line go fast.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
And then even when I give them like a shoulder,
you know how you give them a shoulder, they're just like.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
Me and I'm not the person even though I sound
like you now to turn around and go, hey, can
you give me some space and not be like I
feel your breath?

Speaker 1 (23:02):
But why don't you think you're the person to do that?
It's too awkward.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
I just go read the freaking room body language right, like,
I'm giving you a.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Shoulder, This is weird. Why are you so close to me?

Speaker 2 (23:13):
And I'm telling you, nine times out of ten, they
don't get it and they stay there and I'm just
like miserable until I get to check out, and then
when I do, I'm.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
Like, gosh, do you think that's some built in suppression though,
that you don't say something?

Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yes, there's other people who would go say exactly what
I just said. Yeah, I don't. I'm just like, ugh,
I don't I don't want to do it. I don't
it's awkward. I don't want to do it. I just
hope that they read the room well.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
I think what's happening too is like in your worldview, right,
like this is all subconscious I would imagine, Yeah, like
that should be a normal thing for people to do, right,
like give people enough space and understand that it's not
going to change the outcome what you're doing. It's only
going to be invading someone else's space, thank you. And

(24:00):
so it's like a violation of that worldview and you're like,
this is not the way the world should be. Yeah,
what the fuck is wrong?

Speaker 2 (24:07):
And I'm not even I'm not even being unreasonable and
be like sex feet. I'm literally just like six was
talking about, it wasn't in her Chernobyl day literally yesterday.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Where I live, it's it's basically like a fifty to
fifty chance you're gonna get t boned every time you
leave my driveway. Hah. And what really irritates me is like,
if I'm going right on my street, I'm going to
try and give a visual that people can can grasp.
If you're going right on my street, you we're like
half a block from a light, and so the cars

(24:40):
are coming in they can see the light where I'm
pulling out, So if they can see that, it's either
red or it's turning red, and they don't let me in. Yeah,
I go bananas, Yeah with rage. Yeah, you're not getting
any further and you're just preventing me from getting getting
out my driveway.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Yeah. Have you ever thought pedaled with the metal just
right in front of him real quick? Oh?

Speaker 1 (25:05):
I do good, but it but it irritates me that
they're not thinking like that.

Speaker 2 (25:10):
I agree, it's the same. I live on a very
busy street. To turn into the driveway. To make it,
you turn to park near where I live, people will
just they'll block, they'll block, and I'm like, the light
is right so you can see it.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
It's red. It's red. What in the actual as it's
cherry red? It's right red, right red.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
I haven't changed the color, I don't think since they started.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
A story that feels like it's really related to female race.
Oh okay, Puerto Rico spring break during grad school. I'm
working my ass off. I get a Uti out of
the gate, like day two, I can't just call my
you know, be gone and be like, hey, can you
just call it in right or even my GP right. Basically,
what happens is I do get to see someone and

(25:51):
what that means in Puerto Rico. I meet a guy
in a in like what would be a right age
asks me two questions that may or may not be
actually related to my symptoms, gives me a script for
some antibiotics. I start taking them. So I'm on my
spring break, like this is the only time out of
the year that I have to do anything but study. Yeah,

(26:15):
it's your time, it's my time to rage. So we
go out and I'm like, oh, I'm good, I've got
my antibiotics. I hit the table like one of the
you know, the blackjack tables. It's feeling hot tables, feeling hot,
and like I should probably pee. I still technically have
a UTI, but let's just keep it going. Hot hand,
hot hand. I am wearing corduroy white pants.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
I get up from the table. I'm like, I've got
a pee. It's a casino. The bathroom is literally in
another zip code, So point is I make it all
the way, like I walk away, make it to the bathroom,
all the way to the stall, and I pee my pants,
like I'm I ran twenty six out of twenty six
point two of them, So you wait until you got

(27:01):
to stalk to them pee in your pants. The toilet
was right, It just came because I'm I came to ut.
I just came out, just came out. Anyway. My boyfriend
was very sweet. He was he had been looking for
me because I was just I was gambling so low. Yeah,
he was looking for me. Every he finally finds me
and he said, oh my god, I'm gonnak. You're ever?
Are you okay? And I just turn around and I

(27:22):
like show him my peace soaked pants and I'm like,
do I look like I'm okay? And it was just
one of those like very I just feel like female moments. Yes,
guys get uties, but not with anything close to the
frequency totally that women do. Right, So that so that's

(27:45):
the time. You did not suppress it. You let it out.
I let it out.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
This is good. You felt good after what happened. He
was surprised.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
He goes with you in the moment, No, he did.
I want to know what do you do to handle
your rage?

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Like, well, the car, the car car music, I like
singing like just two songs real out in the cars.
The best feeling is that's great, it's so good.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
That's such a good way. Then you just like get
it out. Yeah right, yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
I think mostly that and what else? I mean I
make jokes that I scream crying to a pillow, but
you know that doesn't happen as often.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
It's really want to go and ham on it on
songs in the car. Yeah, that makes sense. It's a
physical expression and artistic expression that totally made. That's a
great way to handle it. I love it. What about
you solve Terra's rage? We I mean cars and singing, Yeah,
and singing in cars, singing in cars definitely physical things

(28:47):
like working out, yes, playing sports, doing you know, doing
stand up. That's why you do tennis. I mean, we
don't grunt all the time. Give me a break, you do.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
We went to a tennis thing together, all three of
us did Tennessee tennis tennis day and all we were
in the stadium. Never been to a tennis game ever
in my life.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
These two Frendy, Wendy and and Tara did not know
who Nadal No was. They didn't know that. I mean,
I don't know major tennis tennis athlete, like millions of titles.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah, I mean she's all tennis stuff. We don't know
any better, or was we're nope, no, we're in there
and all they're doing. Okay you can't and then.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Ah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
I mean that's the other one tennis. No no, no, no,
no, no no.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
You've reached the rage hotline.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
Please leave us a message.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
We have a rage hotline. We want to hear from you.
Give us all the juice.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
Tell us what made you mad today, yesterday, all the days.
We want to know.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Where do I begin and where do I stop?

Speaker 1 (30:01):
How women are supposed to dress. I can't stand. I
got like really upset, like more upset than if this
would happened to me by like.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
A hundred time. I'm angry for you.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Turn the volume up so loud in my car and
drape myself over.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
I don't want to fucking hear you take a drink
of anything.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
There is a glob of toothpaste in the same well.
You know, it's a relief. It's just like, why is
not my problem? You can just rage?

Speaker 2 (30:33):
I'm so excited. This is this is where we get
into conto the weak, just as a recap as we
got a reminder courageous, unapologetic.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Notorious woman.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Maybe Eric is in When we were trying to think
what I have no idea, we were like ten of
a woman and then I was like, we're never We're
not getting We're leaving it in tent of a Wolman
in the dock. That thing that's ever happened to us.
Apparently you guys know who the kind of the week is.
And I don't wait on.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Me, Friendy, Wendy, I'm so excited to reveal this to Tara.
We got to tell everyone. So Tara is one of
those people who does not purposefully does not expose herself
to the news.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
She's protecting her peace.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
I am right, my inner fucking piece, and we're not
hating on it.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
We respect it. She's doing what she needs to.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Do to keep I am ignorant for a reason.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
Yeah, she's keeping herself from driving seventy five and a
thirty five true, by not listening to the news all
day or day, that's true. So, uh, this person, I
think some of you will be surprised that she doesn't
know who this person is. This person is AOC.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Okay, so like a musician that Wendy found.

Speaker 1 (31:51):
Or a restaurant in Beverly Hills. Yeah. No, aoc is
Alexandria Acossio Cortaz. Okay, she is in Congress. She reps
the bronx. Oh hell yeah, and I can't wait to
tell you more. I'm going to give you just like
the quick she's she's a badass. At twenty eight, she's

(32:12):
only twenty eight. No, well now she's older by a
few years, all right, But at twenty eight she unseated.
Is that the word? She She beat outcumbent Democrats. So
this guy was running against nobody else. Love. It was
supposed to like take over for Nancy Pelosi as a speaker.
That was like what his yeah, future projections were. He

(32:35):
had like three million in fundraising. Okay, she had like
thirty thousand. She just went around as a bartender and
she just talked to her community.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
And she was just real authentic and real about what
was going on. And she so became the youngest person
elected to the House to Congress. What was it to
the House, all of it?

Speaker 2 (32:59):
One of them?

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Okay, I mean twenty eight is like the fetus that
is at the US Data.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
She was just wandering around talking in the neighborhoods got
everyone being a human being board and they were like,
hell yeah, let's go with her. And she goes by AOC.
AOC Do people call her AOC? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Oh yeah. And one of the things that's been so
cool about what she does is she's not just pointing
out like a lot of the atrocities and rights revoking
that's happening, but she's also talking to her audience and
her constituents and anyone that will listen about what they
can do as opposed to just being in paralysis.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
As opposed to just bitching about what's going wrong with
the other party.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
Let's let's what can we do about it? So she's
she is not delicate and the best ways recently I
love this so much. Recently people were like idiots were
like saying, like, oh, is she pregnant? Is she pregnant?
Because like coming back from the holidays, they thought because
maybe she had gained like one point two pounds, like
a Republican colleague like literally like, you're pregnant, right, So

(34:05):
she went on a on a TikTok, on a video
on a social video, and it was just so odd.
She's like, yeah, so a lot of people want to
asking if I was pregnant. No, I just had a
really good Thanksgiving. That is how you drop, that's how
you handle like and you become a cunt of the week. Yeah,
she's just badass, she's quean. Yeah she material she really doesn't.

(34:28):
I mean, I think the whole like I don't give
a fuck is a misnomer because everyone gives a fuck. Yeah,
everyone gives a fuck.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
But there's an art to not giving a fuck.

Speaker 1 (34:36):
But there's an art to not giving a fuck about
the right fucks not to give about. Totally is it?
She does it? She walks that walk. Hell yeah, that's
our cunt of the week. An amazing story.

Speaker 2 (34:48):
I guarantee you in five years, HBO will have a
film about her.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Oh there is a film about her already.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
About her being a bartender and they getting it. Oh god,
I'm really already.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
There might even be more than one. For really, this
is so exciting to see someone who doesn't know who
AOC is like if you watch them like, there's no
way to be able to avoid having some sort of
exposure to her.

Speaker 2 (35:09):
It's but this is great. Oh yeah, no, no, no exposure.
I barely go on. I don't go on TikTok. I
barely go on Instagram. I really don't go on Twitter,
except sometimes I'm mainly just working. I love it. I
don't look at anything.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Oh and then one other quick thing. She knits her
own sweaters. Oh well yeah, can I buy one? Can
I buy? Maybe we'll find out.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
All right, we should close up Wendy's yelling at us.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
We got a Monday, Wendy's sleeping, and do it because
she's bored with us. She's like me, she's air traffic controler.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
If you can see when she is, if you guys
could see when she is stressed out, what she wants
us to move on.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Sometimes it's little, so little right now it is yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's the propellers on a helicopter. Definitely yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Insurance, Well, we'll do it, we'll do it.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
So I think, if you take anything from today's episode,
what do you think people should take away Terra, I guess.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
I would say, be more forgiving of yourself. When you
get angry or mad, as long as you're not causing
harm to anyone else or yourself, find a way that
you can deal with it, right, Like, I don't know,
scream crying to a pillow, punch a pillow, drive fast
your car where it's safe. I'm not convincing you guys

(36:32):
to go do bad things. Yeah, I mean, I think
there's ways we can get out of it, sing sing
in your in your car, sing in the shower.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
Yeah. And I think women out there, it's okay that
you rage. It's not even just okay. It is very natural,
it's very human. We're just so programmed to feel so
much shame about it, and in ways that men traditionally
are not given that response. Yeah, and I see an outburst.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Yeah, I mean, and I think the way that we
can like channel it instead of like suppressing it, you
learn to find ways to you know, move on from
it and deal with it. And like it could be
used for a bunch of things, like it could be
healing in the moment or like self empowerment when we're
talking about rage, like the after effect. So I think

(37:23):
there's good things that come out of it, as long
as we find good ways to either be with people
who get it or deal with it on our own.

Speaker 1 (37:34):
Yeah. Absolutely, it's a survival tool. And you know, the
more you run from it, the more you'll probably suffer
from it. Yeah, so once you recognize how that it's
there and it's okay, and how to process it in
ways that are healthy for you, which will also be
healthy for the people that you even care about. Totally great. Yeah, okay,
But also before we go, we want you to know again,

(37:56):
we want to hear from you. Yeah, what's your relationship
with Ray? How do you wage call us and let
us know. We'll talk about it. We'll feature in a
future episode.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
What bugs the crap out of you? We want to
know all the things. But also we're also just be
aware we're also going to be coming in with joyful
stuff too, because we're not just going to be sitting around.
That's why we want to highlight conto the week and
and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
But we would like to know what bugs you.

Speaker 2 (38:25):
But maybe it's just me. I also want to know
what breezy joy because in maybe I can do it
you want. So when I wake up in the morning,
I have a little hope, which I would like one.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
Please place woman some hope for the love of God. Well,
definitely don't start watching the news then, don't worry.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
I won't.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Before we close this out, we're gonna toss on over
to friendy Wendy. Yeah, it's going to lead us through
some close.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Out sash piece. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (38:55):

you pissed off? Do you have something you want to
