- So, Today Hannah and me,
I was gonna say Hannah and Hannah.
We just had a conversation. - She had a conversation.
I am so full of rage.
- So we had a conversation about
whether or not certain people
from other groups can use certain words.
- Right, whether systemic oppression exists.
It does.
- Yeah, it does.
Anyway, long story short,
today for the Hannahlyze This Podcast,
we are going to a place called Rage Ground,
where we are going to smash things,
which I guess is supposed to be therapeutic in some way.
I am, frankly, very nervous and uncomfortable with this.
- I mean, where does anger go? - Anger scares me.
- If you're not punching the person you're mad at,
what are you supposed to do?
- Anyway, so we're gonna go smash things, let's go.
(upbeat electronic music)
- [Group] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
- Peter, how often do you rage out?
- Every day.
- Every day?
- Whenever someone doesn't break anything,
I'll break it.
- What do you find to be the therapeutic
benefits of raging?
- Well, it's just something you don't get to do,
so this offers a really safe place to release your anger
in a way that's not really in front of everyone,
in a way that you don't really get to normally do.
So this is your room, all this stuff is for you to break.
That includes the chair and the mirror.
- This is really strange,
I feel like I'm in A Clockwork Orange.
I just feel like we're so socially conditioned
to not do what we're about to do.
- I feel the same way.
Here's our room and that we're supposed
to just get really mad inside of.
Oh, someone's ready.
(rock music)
(faster rock music)
(ceramic shatters)
I'm not gonna lie, I don't love the sound of breaking glass.
(playful piano music)
Okay, I'm gonna do this to shatter the image
that I think I have to have of myself.
That's the meaning I'm trying to assign to it.
Let's try that.
Three, two.
(glass shatters)
Whoo! Holy (bleep).
- [Girl] Are you done?
- Hannah's in the rage room solo now
because it is not my jam.
I don't like it.
I told Hannah to just go to town and be like,
"Raaaa" as much as she wants.
(glasses shattering)
I'm coming back in.
(glass shatters)
You smile every time you do it.
- I have a lot of thoughts and feelings.
But yeah, no, I'm really enjoying this.
(women laughing)
This was an accident, I don't think I was supposed
to do this but I hit the mirror,
and it hit a hole in the wall.
- I asked her if we could do the TV.
- Oh!
- Awesome, thank you.
- [Peter] Alright, have fun.
- Look at this TV.
This is my metaphor.
Art is for expression, not escape.
Art is for deliverance, not distraction.
Art has a message, and that's what I'm going
to smash this TV for.
You're not just trying to escape your life,
you're trying to live your life and express it too.
Rawr!
(woman laughing)
("William Tell Overture" by Rossini)
It makes me feel so sad.
Let's just keep going.
(melodramatic music)
Okay, gal, the initial thoughts?
- Well, I have so many. - Actually, actually.
