00:00We want to know what caused your James-type rage.
00:08Now, to be clear, in case people aren't completely familiar,
00:14James' rage is you just snap.
00:17Right, James?
00:19Unbridled.
00:20Yeah, you're so full of rage, you just flip out!
00:23You let everybody know how you feel about the situation you're in!
00:26There's nothing you can do about it!
00:28You just have to release all your anger!
00:30You let everyone know how you feel about the situation you're in!
00:34Also, it's often misdirected.
00:37If I'm on the phone with the customer service person about an issue,
00:41they will take the full brunt.
00:44So, for example, we've talked about this on the air,
00:46but maybe people missed it.
00:48Your most recent James rage flip out
00:52involved you doing some serious damage to your hands,
00:55so much so that you realize you've kind of re-evaluated your whole life.
00:58Yeah, I realized I needed to calm down.
01:00When you punch a refrigerator so hard you have to have surgery on your hand,
01:04you tend to realize you are a psychopath.
01:07You need to chill out and quit being such a bitch.
01:11Find a more constructive way to channel your anger.
01:14Be truthful with us, James.
01:15Have you had a couple of slip-ups since your resolution?
01:18Absolutely, yes.
01:19Nothing as serious as punching the refrigerator.
01:22Yeah.
01:22But I've had a couple of meltdowns on the phone
01:24arguing with my phone company about my bill.
01:27Yes.
01:28And the customer service guy on the line got smart with me.
01:31He told me,
01:32Well, Mr. Campbell, check out your bill.
01:34You can see it's clearly spelled out in black and white.
01:36And then I showed him the issue that I had,
01:38and he's like,
01:39Oh, yeah, that is strange.
01:42That is strange.
01:43And I'm like,
01:43Oh, yeah, it's strange, huh?
01:45Not so black and white anymore.
01:48It's kind of great, doesn't it?
01:50You jackass.
01:51I've been a customer for 12 years.
01:54Uh-oh.
01:54Okay, I think we triggered him.
01:56What about you?
01:57What was your James-type rage that set you off?
02:01We'll start in Fort Myers with Mimi.
02:04Hi, Mimi.
02:05Good morning.
02:06Good morning.
02:07My James-type rage is
02:09I have to make a U-turn to get into my driveway.
02:13And at the time,
02:13I was only four months pregnant,
02:15so the baby was driving.
02:17This kid switched me off
02:19because I took too long to turn around.
02:22And at that point,
02:23I had it after my hour-long commute.
02:25Chased him down the street in my car
02:27at about twice the speed limit.
02:29Caught up to him at the stoplight.
02:31And I had a can of air freshener in my car.
02:34I grabbed it.
02:34I sprayed it in his face.
02:35I scratched him on the arm
02:36and chucked the can into his car.
02:38And he tore off when the light changed.
02:40Oh, my goodness.
02:41Wow.
02:42I mean, that is rage,
02:43but that's such lady rage, right?
02:45Air freshener!
02:46Little scratch on the arm!
02:47Go!
02:49You know, that's total lady rage.
02:51She said little scratch.
02:52I bet his arm looked like Wolverine got him.
02:54Just a little scratch.
02:55Yeah, it was a little scratch.
02:56Nothing.
02:57Nothing.
02:58Just bled out a little bit.
03:00Half his skin came off.
03:02Skin's sensitive here.
03:03Skin grows back.
03:04It does.
03:05Every time.
03:06Let's go to Hammer.
03:08What's up, Hammer?
03:09Hey, what's up, guys?
03:11How's she going, eh?
03:11How's she going, eh?
03:12What caused your James-type rage?
03:15Well, this is actually a story about my dad,
03:17but he's a truck driver,
03:18and basically he was coming to a two-lane,
03:20merging to one,
03:22and the guy in the car behind him
03:23was trying to get in front of him,
03:25you know, forcing him over,
03:26and I seen the guy pulling to a McDonald's parking lot,
03:29so my dad parked the truck right in the middle of the road
03:31and went up to the guy's car
03:34where we were in the drive-thru.
03:35There was a newspaper in the seat,
03:37and he reached in and grabbed the newspaper,
03:39started batting the guy around in the face,
03:42and spit a mouthful of licorice in the guy's face.
03:45Ooh.
03:46Wet licorice.
03:46Wet-chewed licorice.
03:49Oh, God.
03:51Honestly, I'd rather you just punch me right in the face.
03:54Please don't spit your wet licorice in my face.
03:56I'll raise you a bunch of whatever's in my stomach
03:58if you do that to me.
04:00Yeah, that's not true.
04:01I see your wet licorice,
04:02and I give you a little...
04:03Yeah, like I get...
04:04Oh, man.
04:09Exorcist puke.
04:10Oh, God, that's so gross.
04:11The second I feel someone's already chewed licorice hit my lip...
04:15Oh, the lip.
04:19What's a...
04:20What's a...
04:20Hmm?
04:22What's a steam table?
04:23Chipped beef.
04:23Oh, what?
04:24A steam table.
04:25Steam table?
04:26This guy said,
04:27I was emptying a steam table.
04:28Oh, for like a buffet, probably,
04:30or like, oh, those catered things,
04:31you know where they have the water?
04:32Oh, okay, okay.
04:33Is that what it is?
04:34Maybe.
04:35He said,
04:35I was emptying a steam table full of hot water,
04:37and I stepped on the cord,
04:38so the water spilled all over me.
04:40Well, I threw it on the ground,
04:42broke it,
04:43then ran outside,
04:44and ripped a stop sign out of the ground.
04:46Oh!
04:48It's like taking Excalibur out of, like, a ground,
04:53out of a rock.
04:54You're now the king of England.
04:57Like, those are impossible.
04:58That is crazy.
05:00You're so mad you rip a stop sign.
05:05I'm king!
05:07They're down so far.
05:09That's the same as saying,
05:10I was so mad I threw a car.
05:12That's exactly it.
05:15I challenge most guys to try and rip a stop sign out of the ground right now.
05:18If you knew,
05:20you've got to back and forth it.
05:21Oh, I've tried to get signs.
05:23Maybe that's what he did instead of just ripped it all in one.
05:25I feel like he just ripped it out,
05:27because back and forth even is tough.
05:30Yeah, it is.
05:30It is tough.
05:31Let's go to Stephen, who's next in Boston.
05:32Hi, Stephen.
05:33Good morning, man.
05:33How are you?
05:35Hello, penis.
05:36Penis to you, sir.
05:37What caused your James-type rage?
05:40My James-type of rage was,
05:42well, when I moved to this country,
05:44I picked up skateboarding,
05:45and I was skateboarding around the commons,
05:48and I've seen American movies,
05:50so they're called jocks.
05:51Started basically driving around me
05:54and calling me names.
05:56And I started sprinting,
05:57like, that's it, you guys.
05:58I'm going to bloody get you.
05:59That's it.
05:59I'm coming after you.
06:01And you stay there.
06:02I'm coming to get you.
06:03Of course, all three of them
06:04jumped straight back into the car again,
06:06but luckily on the skateboard,
06:07I was quick enough to catch up with the back of the car,
06:09jumped onto the back of the Jeep,
06:11held onto the roof rack,
06:14the top section,
06:14and I don't know what came over me.
06:16I just started headbutting the back of the window.
06:18Oh, my God.
06:19English rage.
06:22Like, last night you get out of the car,
06:24because I'm going to have you.
06:25Like, it's like this.
06:27And so they took me around the commons
06:28for a couple of little rides.
06:30I ended up having to tuck, drop, and roll.
06:36Oh, my God.
06:37Dude, you could have killed yourself.
06:39You're like, that's nuts.
06:41Yeah, but that's the James rage for you, isn't it?
06:43Yeah, that's true.
06:44That's true.
06:45You lose touch with reality.
06:47Bye-bye.
06:47Lisa's high school dream right there
06:49is the skateboarding Englishman.
06:51Really, really tough skateboarding Englishman.
06:53Skateboarding Englishman.
06:54He is the coolest guy I've ever seen in my life.
06:57That's what I was thinking the whole time.
07:00Did you see him jump on the back of that Jeep
07:03and headbutt it?
07:04He headbutted a Jeep, you guys.
07:05I am so going to get his number.
07:10The accent plus skateboarding plus tough.
07:13Oh, yeah.
07:14Plus tough.
07:15Come on.
07:15Come on.
07:17That's it.
