I think because they have that catharsis is my guess. I mean, at least cliched-wise or in media, a lot of times they are portrayed as a fairly reserved society in public. But I think they have these outlets. I've always said that I've never agreed with people

demonizing video games or violent video games lead to violence or lead to any real other human behavior that being said it's not exactly violence but i think the number one most dangerous place that i've ever been to in my life is a movie theater parking lot after a fast and furious movie yes because all of a sudden everyone is

Yeah, I don't know what that's like. And then cut to me outside just punching a tree. Just over and over again.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Throughout history, wrath has made men and women do terrible things to their opponents, and sometimes said wrath can backfire onto the very person that sought vengeance in the first place. They say that revenge is a dish best served cold, and in the case of Viking Earl Sigurd the Mighty, it was also best served on horseback.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Around 892 CE, Sigurd Eistinsson, or Sigurd the Mighty, was the famed Viking leader of what is now northern Scotland. Keeping hold of the Scottish mainland was a difficult task, and he was challenged by many opponents for his earldom. One of his strongest opponents was Mael Bricht, also known by the significantly less impressive nickname Mael Bricht the Bucktoothed.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Having grown weary of Sigurd's constant attacks near the modern-day land of Inverness, where Colin Farrell's banshees lived and then one movie, Bucktoothed Mael decided to fight things out the honorable way. Mael and Sigurd would meet on the battlefield, each with 40 men. They would fight it out, and the victor would become the Earl of the Land.

Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
But known both for his military prowess and his shaky relationship with fairness, Sigurd the Mighty squirreled the deal in a mighty way. Breaking the compact, he showed up with 40 horses, but had two warriors upon each horse, thus outnumbering his enemy two to one. Male and his men fought bitterly, but were quickly defeated by the overwhelming Sigurd's army.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Showing contempt and wrath for his beaten foe, Sigurd wanted to punish and humiliate him. He had Male decapitated, and he tied the severed head to his horse as a brutal sign of victory and dishonor. But even in death, Male wasn't quite finished with Sigurd the Mighty, and Sigurd the Mighty's wrath was about to, well, bite him back.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
For Male the Bucktooth got his nickname from his protruding front teeth, and this being the late 9th century, dental hygiene wasn't exactly at the top of anyone's list. So while the gloating Sigurd rode back to town, Male breached rotten teeth, scraped across Sigurd's leg, opening a wound.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
The wound quickly became infected, and days after his victory in battle, Sigurd the Mighty was brought low by disease and died. For the want of a nail, the world was lost. For the want of a toothbrush, the Viking's wrath was his undoing. Want to ride into battle with Uncle Pete and I and fight off the moths flying out of our wallets?

I would like to begin this next segment with a memory test. We were talking a little bit about getting older. You want to try a memory test? This, I'm taking you back to December 22nd, 2022.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
This will be episode 502. I talked about a phenomenon in Los Angeles, and I was wondering who was happening around the world. Do you remember what I called the beep back? And it's okay if you don't.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Let me be the first to say rar.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
The beat back, my anxiety, because we were still just talking about anxieties, and my anxieties was post-pandemic driving when everyone lost their mind. And the beat back was something that I noticed back then, starting in 2022, where usually the aggressor, like the bad guy, A...
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
does something that angers good guy B because bad guy A does something dangerous so B beeps at him and A was clearly in the wrong but A goes no and beeps back even though he she or it were the aggressor and were the problem It's like a beep-off. Yeah, it's a beep-off. Well, Pete, it has not gone away. It has grown exponentially.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Now I have seen – like when I'm walking my dog, I have seen like someone cut someone off. The cut-off-er – no, the cut-off-ee beeps. The cut-off-er beeps back. And now other people are beeping as if to say, I saw that too. And then like – Like, passerbys, like pedestrians are saying the word beep. Like, it's insane. The beep off has gone nuts. Why do I bring this up?
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
I was trying to think about when I, in my life, feel wrath. So much anger that I instantly want to or wish punishment upon someone or something. It's very rare. I'm a very... We know this. I'm a soy boy. I'm a beta. I'm very, I'm over empathetic. I'm very turn the other cheek. I'm very in times of war. I would definitely be a dove, but even like less of a, like I'd be a dove at brunch.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Like it's insane. Like I'm just not a bloodthirsty fists up person. Yeah. But I noticed going through like a day, I noticed there is one time more than any other that I do feel wrath. And it's driving. It's road rage, but I need to redefine it.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
And this is where it's either not interesting at all or interesting because I want us to sort of explore it together because I can't come quite to the end of it. Or maybe what I'm describing is the definition of wrath and how it works. And I just have trouble figuring it out because I've always, since I started driving, I always had this wish that I had a superpower.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
And the superpower would be I could make someone's car, all four of their tires pop at the same time.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Have you really? Yes. But not pop so they go careening. I don't want them to ever be in harm's way.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Robot, take it away.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
I want them to be inconvenienced both with time and money. The only time I ever feel that involves cars that I can remember. And I lead a pretty sheltered life. If I had friends that were being threatened, of course, I would, you know, I do have like a sledgehammer and a lot of guns under my kitchen floor. They're ready to come out anytime, wick style. And gold coins. Yeah. So many gold coins.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Yeah. But I think they're chocolate. You know, those chocolate gold coins. Because most of my money has melted into one big coin. So I don't know if I'm rich or... Or destined to. Either way. And then it's also very fleeting. I don't save that up in, like, sometimes people get so angry, you see them muttering, like, three blocks later, or they're still going at it.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
It's very fleeting by about, like, two intersections, driving normal speed, so, like, maybe one minute, 45 seconds. I'm already like, nah, I don't know what they're going through. Who cares? It's all fine. But in that moment... I feel the closest that I have to wrath of immediate punishment.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Like I'm glad that I don't have that superpower because like big O tires would go out of business because they would have sold out of all of their stock. Right. So what I realized, cause I was like, well, where, where does that come from and why I feel wrath because I got scared. I'm not angry. I'm not feeling wrath of like, you're taking too long to go through the light.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
That's where beatbacks start. I don't ever feel that way. You're just inconveniencing me. Guess what? I'll be fine. I'm never in that much of a hurry. But because you made me feel unsafe, It's almost like through being a little bit inconsiderate or daring to have other things on your mind than my safety, you broke the construct that I have around me that driving is safe. Yeah.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
And I'm fine in my everyday life. And had I not been watching your inconsiderate move could have really caused severe harm. Like it was because everyone drives 90,000 miles an hour here. So accidents aren't like we don't have a lot of fender benders on the 405. Like we have the 405 is closed now for a while because that car is now three cars.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Always? Well, I was talking to Robot because there's a couple different – sometimes it's just listed as great or intense anger. But then the other half of the definitions that I found also say that it involves this almost idea of either revenge or vengeance, that you're so angry you want to take it out physically or mentally on someone. It's not just – you're not sitting in your anger.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
And so that's what I found is the wrath doesn't come from I'm so angry at you. It's you scared me. And you sort of shook my foundation of I'm going to be fine. And my response to that isn't an inward response at first of, oh, okay, I'm glad that I was careful. I'm glad all this stuff. Instead, it's like, how dare you put me through this horror movie that I didn't sign up for? Is that interesting?
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Yeah. Do you relate to that? I never thought about it that way before until we started researching for this podcast.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
But I want... Okay, yes, but I want to push back... Like lizard brain authority. Yeah, okay, because that's what I was going to, just for fun, push back at is I wasn't in a... situation when I was driving of authority or power. But I guess if you massage that word into control, I felt I had control over my situation and it was taken away from me.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
And the way the irrational way to assert that back is to punish whatever or whomever took me out of control.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
See, and I think I am mostly that, but there is, I think, also a little bit of self-righteousness in it. That I don't think I'm getting them out of the way of society. I want them also... Well, that's it. I want them to feel what they made me feel a little bit in a way that will be safe.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
So I don't want to cut – like some people with wrath, with road rage, you will zoom ahead and recut them off or do a brake check. That's all dangerous, horrible stuff. I never want to do that. But I also want – it's almost like I want to teach them a lesson so hopefully they'll be better in the future.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
So I'm not getting them out of the way of everybody else, but I am giving them a real good think while they go to Midas.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Yeah. For their inexplicably lasered tires.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
I think that's just anger. Wrath has to be an outward feeling of you were then taking your anger and making it have ramifications on someone. So that's why Robot decided to go with the longer definition. Okay. All right. Because otherwise I think it's just really, really, really angry, and we don't have a word for that.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
That's where I – I feel lucky that there is a natural barrier for me to do that. I don't – and it's not like – Oh, if I only could, like, I just don't have any interest in it. And I think that's just how I was brought up or I'm just lead a naturally, try to lead a naturally conflict life.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
I don't enjoy that type of adrenaline and I'm still trying to calm down from the adrenaline of almost running into your car. The, another car related thing that when I wasn't driving another time that I felt wrath in much the same way I was walking Foster and this was B, this would be winter because it was night and, Those two things, that makes sense. If you know when I walk Foster.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Oh, it's night. It must be winter. It must be winter. Now we're back to those cavemen guys we were a second ago. It doesn't understand. No, it's because of when I walk Foster, because of California. If I walk him at the same time throughout the year, sometimes it's dark, sometimes it's light. Either way, I was walking. And I had my flashing lights and a flashlight, and he has a reflective collar.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
And we were crossing the street. And a woman, not going too fast, but just sort of rolled through a stop sign and almost into us. And so I hit her car with my hand because I was right in front of her. So I hit my car and I went, hey, and she immediately yelled, I can't see you, which is a weird. It was too quick.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
That wasn't the right answer.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Well, you clearly sort of can. That's how this goes. And she was like, I can't see you. And I said, you don't need to see me. There's a stop sign. She goes, I did stop. And I said, no.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
and i walked away but but isn't that that act of slapping the car is the act of regaining some control correct yes and it was also i mean because one could see it at the base level of i needed to shock her into stopping because she was going too fast for us to get ahead of her uh but then also yeah that was my initial and that that's what i would do
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
if I didn't have a superpower that was exploding tires, it would just be go on someone's hood. Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Yeah, that's it. I just want a little bit of a, Hey, you made me feel something like this.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Exactly. Yeah.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Yeah. Right. We're newborns compared to Japan and Japanese history.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
And that's trying to regain control, regain control, but not but the control was so either her general ability of control is so tenuous, or her control was so taken so far away from her. Yeah, the lengths she had to go, the amount of time she had to hit the hood of that car or hand would have fallen off.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
You know what I think we need emotionally and physically? Just more beeping, Pete.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
It's the all the feelings emotional spike strip that you are able to, through the power of your mind, throw out a thorned metal thing that destroys everyone's emotional tires and makes them all stop in their tracks and roll to the side of their emotional road.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues

But for the free feed, how do we end this segment?
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything onto which it is poured.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
See, this is all purposeful. We do this on purpose.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Yeah. What are we doing next week? I don't remember. You just told me that. Oh, chastity, right? Put on your chastity belts, everybody, because this is going to be a real family-friendly one. Throw away the key. Throw away the key. Exactly right. Until then, I am Tommy Metz III.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
What's when is it OK then? Because it sounds like all the things that you anger.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
So if it's an inside, but then you also said that that but it seems like keeping that inside almost for sure will lead to because you also said like you're harboring bad feelings. Yeah. Right. So that's still inside. Yeah. But it's getting too worse. That's interesting.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Oh, okay.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
It's not just sticks and stones.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
I was about to say that doesn't rhyme, but neither does the original one.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
evil thoughts or vices and wrath was one of them i guess they whittled one away um one of them was i do actually know the answer to this i believe one of them was sadness i'm not making a joke oh i thought that sadness was considered something that was evil or something to be really shunned And then now, now then it has become the status quo.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
I think it's two separate things, because I was about to ask, do you mean wrath or do you mean vengeance or revenge? Retribution, because that seems pretty... Because that's like Kill Bill, like all of the John Wick series is based on you did me wrong and I'm going to do you wrong, Baba Yaga style, 19-fold.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
But I guess if you brought up Patrick Bateman from American Psycho, I think it's sort of probably the same reason that we go to see horror movies. It's exploring something that either we are afraid of or that in horror movies, it's something that we're afraid of and we can sort of explore it safely. Go through the steps of death, go through the steps of terror, almost like practice.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Come out the other side and you're fine, maybe learning something along the way. With watching other people be Wrath, And B-Wrath is my wrath name, by the way. Become wrath. Yeah, I think we all have that type of anger in us that comes out actually during... When I talk a little bit later in my segment, I'm going to talk about when I find wrath appearing in my life.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
It's a very specific, very weird place that I want to talk about. But because you have that part in you, and I think... Maybe sometimes, whether it's subconscious or not, we feel like we are doing more work than we know to keep that part down. To keep the social code going, we have to say, yes, please, thank you. We try to not get overly crazy when people drive us insane because that's pure what?
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Would that be pure id? Of just flying from the seat of your pants? Yeah. And so to be able to have someone, whether or not they are allowed to, to just be like, yeah, well, yes, because with Patrick Bateman, we are fascinated by sociopaths and sociopathy. What would it be like to be freed of those constraints? Yeah.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
Ultimately, they are usually punished, not in Patrick Bateman's case, unless you go with that weird reading that he died really a lot earlier in the book. But yeah, to be freed of those social constraints and be able to just live your life as you see fit, punish those who you see fit to be punished, there's something incredibly freeing that we are denied. Right.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
I mean, that's why there are places in like Vegas where you just pay to go into a room and smash a bunch of things. Like they give you a sledgehammer, you pay $50 and you get a sledgehammer and you destroy a printer. You destroy a washing machine, probably because the washing machine has taken too many of your quarters over your head.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
And that is a really interesting point when you bring up how disgusting he is. And whereas like Hulk, even when he's hulked out, he's still looking pretty good in those jean shorts. Yeah, right.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
The world of Patrick Bateman and John Wick, everyone's in suits. Everyone is dressed to the nines for the biggest, always the biggest, whatchamacallit, violence in the entire world. So we're still masking it in humanity. That's what makes it palatable. But if you were just, so I think that's what allows it for us to be like, oh, let's play along with this.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
But if it was just pure wrath, if it was pure, I don't really know what venom is, but if it was just sort of like this multi-tentacled, all-teeth monster, then yeah, I think we would shy away from that. That's not fun.
All The Feelings • The Sins & Virtues
Wrath: A Love Story (Just Kidding, It's Mostly About Honking)
So there is a catharsis. So we're all feeling constrained. We're all angry. I mean, what that sort of leads to is we're all angrier. than we give credence to. We all feel that we are trapped more than we think we are. We're more powerless than we are. And so we give it up to these vengeance characters as catharsis.
