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.
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.
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...
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
And the superpower would be I could make someone's car, all four of their tires pop at the same time.
Have you really? Yes. But not pop so they go careening. I don't want them to ever be in harm's way.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
Yeah. Do you relate to that? I never thought about it that way before until we started researching for this podcast.
