The Epstein Files are unsealed, redactions are everywhere, and while other countries are launching criminal investigations, the U.S. Department of Justice remains silent. Why?

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

Oxford named rage bait the Word of the Year and honestly, that choice alone rage-baited half the internet.

On this Rage Pod episode, we get into why tiny disappointments feel so much bigger this time of year, why Ebar thinks you should replace your pepper spray for ice skates, and why we keep giving Thanksgiving way more emotional weight than it deserves.
