In this episode of the Happy Rant Ted, Ronnie and Barnabas actually explore some rather unhappy topics.

• The rising trend of college students walking out of their own commencement.
• When America is as healthy and wealthy as it has ever been why are there SO many books and messages being offered about fighting dissatisfaction? What are people so dissatisfied with?
• What's with the rising trend of people responding "F*** _____" to anything or anyone they don't like - cancer, politicians, terrorists, etc.?
