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. We discuss how anger spreads faster than joy and conclude that outrage has become the world’s most addictive currency. AND, we rage bait ourselves by reading off hate comments left for us and our eyewear. Plus, Tara reveals she’s now carrying an infectious disease so alarming it deserves its own public health billboard.
