<\/p>\nRage rooms are all the rage | Michelle Meredith is retiring and picks her stories all week<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIT\u2019S GETTING A LITTLE TOUGHER TO SAY TOMORROW OR ONE OF A KIND. REPORTER MICHELLE MEREDITH IS RETIRING FROM WESH 2 NEWS ALL THIS WEEK. WE\u2019RE SAYING YES TO THE STORIES SHE\u2019S BEEN BEGGING OUR BOSSES TO TELL FOR YEARS. BASICALLY LETTING HER DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS. WELL DESERVED. SO TODAY SHE GRABBED A BAT AND CHECKED OUT ONE OF ORLANDO\u2019S RAGE ROOMS. I WANTED TO END MY TV CAREER WITH A BANG. OH, SO WE WENT TO A RAGE ROOM ORLANDO ON L.B. MCLEOD ROAD AND LET THE GAMES BEGIN. THAT\u2019S RIGHT. THE RAGE ROOM IS A PLACE WHERE YOU PAY MONEY TO TAKE OUT LIFE\u2019S FRUSTRATIONS BY SMASHING THINGS. WHY DO WE START OFF WITH GLASS? IT\u2019S THE SOUND. THE SOUND OF GLASS BREAKING IS VERY SYMBOLIC. AMARI NELSON, A K A DOCTOR. RAGE IS IN CHARGE, AND A FORMER THERAPIST. SO WHEN THEY COME IN HERE, THEY HAVE THIS TIME TO REALLY FOCUS ON THE THINGS THAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH OUTSIDE, AND THEY RELIEVE IT WHEN THEY COME IN HERE AND BREAK IT. SO IT\u2019S VERY, VERY SYMBOLIC AND VERY THERAPEUTIC. ALL RIGHT, I\u2019M GONNA PUT THIS BABY ON. AND I\u2019M LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT? I\u2019M GONNA KIND OF FEEL LIKE I\u2019M GONNA JOIN THE ARTEMIS CREW. SO TIME FOR MY THERAPY. FIRST YOU HAVE TO SUIT UP, PUT THE GLOVES ON, AND OF COURSE, A FACE SHIELD. ALL RIGHT, FOLKS, 45 YEARS OF TV NEWS COMING TO AN END. LET\u2019S RAE JOHNSON. I GOT A BAT AND I GOT CROWBARS. OH. THAT\u2019S HEAVY. I\u2019M GONNA GO. BAT. DO A QUICK WARM UP. AS ANY MAJOR LEAGUE RAGER WOULD DO. AND IT WAS GAME ON. OH. OH, MY GOD, THAT WAS SO LAME. GAME. OH! OH, OH MY GOD. I FEEL LIKE SUPERWOMAN. HERE WE GO. ONE MORE. YES, I FEEL THE RAGE. I FEEL THE POWER. HOW FORTUITOUS. A TV. OH, THAT\u2019S IT. AND THE MORE I SMASHED. SMITHEREENS, THE BETTER. I DID FEEL. YOU KNOW, YOU KIND OF HAVE TO HAVE NO HEART TO BE IN THIS BUSINESS. OH. BUC-EE\u2019S BUC-EE\u2019S. I\u2019M THINKING THE UNIVERSE WISHES ME BUC-EE\u2019S. AND AS I WRAPPED MY HANDS AROUND THIS STRANGE LITTLE MESSAGE. I THINK OF MY NEXT CHAPTER. AND I THINK OF YOU, THE GOOD PEOPLE OF CENTRAL FLORIDA. OH, I LOVE MICHELLE ANGEL. SAY A LITTLE PRAYER THERE FOR ALL OF US. WE GET THROUGH YOU LEAVING LITTLE ANGEL. WELL, THIS WAS A STORY THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SERIES AND WE HAVE SERIES PITCHES. AND I PITCHED THE STORY. IT GOT THE KIBOSH. I WAS. OH, THAT\u2019S RIGHT. WHEN THEY SAID, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE THE YES MA\u2019AM. I\u2019M RAGE ROOM. AND THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN. THAT\u2019S LIKE THE MOST FUN I\u2019VE EVER HAD ON A STORY. WASN\u2019T THERAPEUTIC FOR YOU, WAS IT? REALLY? I KNOW IT SOUNDS KIND OF CORNY, BUT IT WAS. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT WHEN YOU WERE GOING TO TOWN? I WAS TOLD NOT TO THINK ABOUT PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS. OH, OKAY. BUT ANYWAY, JUST LET IT GO. WHATEVER IT WAS, IT WAS ACTUALLY, A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK, YOU KNOW, THEY SAID PEOPLE GOING THROUGH DIVORCES AND BAD RELATIONSHIPS. SOLO. TWO PEOPLE TEAM, YOU HAVE TEAMS SMASH SESSIONS AND WHERE IT\u2019S CONSIDERED TEAM BUILDING, NOT MICHELLE. I HAVE A BURNING QUESTION FOR YOU. YES, YES. LAST ONE. AFTER FOUR DECADES OF WORKING IN TV, WHAT DID IT FEEL LIKE TO SMASH A TV? I HAVE TO ASK THE SAME QUESTION. NO WONDERING ALL THAT RAGE. I\u2019M GONNA TE\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
