“You f**king ruined Thanksgiving!” Yacht rock and the prevention of road rage-fueled murder

17-18.002.jpg

In this week’s podcast episode, Becky and Merie discuss the terrifying and sometimes deadly phenomenon known as Road Rage. Along the way, they address the burning questions you didn’t know you had, like:

How did Merie’s margarita needs not only ruin Thanksgiving, but also get her featured on the evening news?

Why is Merie going to go into her safe room and never come out?

How DO you talk to your kitty cats about gun safety?

Does 10 years in prison for road rage murder teach you a lesson? (or…Florida?)

Don’t you feel like yelling “I gotta be me!” when someone is stopping you from being…kind?

Come for the spontaneous Hall & Oates karaoke. Stay for the shopping cart rules.

Please go to Big Waves and read about the Bigelow family’s story and gun locks.
