Based on the card game and TV show The Misery Index, this is a podcast about communication. While talking with your mom (if you're a teenager) and your teen (if you're a mom) can feel like misery sometimes, Ericka and Jay Hardwick have figured it out: nothing is off limits. They use the cards as conversation starters, and you can play along. On a scale of 1 - 100, how much misery do you think peeing on an electric fence would cause? Their conversations are hilarious, gross, "squirm-worthy" (their term), honest, and frank. Get inspiration from this awesome mother-son duo on how to talk with your kids (or your parents) about, well, anything at all.

I'm not a very old-fashioned person. No sirree.
<p>Mom Ericka is off doing lots of things in the very hot real estate season of spring in the very hot real estate market of the Pacific Northwest, so son Jay is flying solo this episode.</p> <p>He's found a whole lot of very interesting questions which he's answering - sort of. Mostly. With pauses.</p> <p>Jay occasionally says something that is wonderfully inspired, like the recent, "I really like my kidneys," and this episode is no exception. The title is from one of his answers, with no apparent sense of irony.</p> <p>Enjoy Jay, who is by all measures, a remarkable young man. But not at all old-fashioned.</p> <p>No sirree.</p> <p> </p>

Blind Cannibals
<p>A classic Ericka and Jay exchange:</p> <p>Ericka: I want to tell you this story that happened early tonight. [gives introductory details]</p> <p>Jay: Whoa. I've never heard this story!</p> <p>Ericka: Yes, I know. That's why I'm telling you now</p> <p>Mother and son are at it again, discussing blindness, cannibalism, and what to get Jay and Law for their birthdays. (Apparently, getting Lawson to say what he wants as a gift is about a 56 on the Misery Index.)</p> <p>Take a break, grab popcorn, have a hearty laugh. This is just the refreshing, palate-cleansing treat you need right now.</p>

To DELETE or NOT DELETE? (Duh...don't delete.)
<p>If this episode doesn't make you laugh until you cry, well, you're more mature than the rest of us. We'll just leave that little tease there for now.</p> <p>In this episode, Jay and Ericka Hardwick look into things that creep them out: breathing techniques that cause some sort of near-hallucinogenic effect, staring too long in the mirror, people who pop pimples... can you truly be driven crazy by being stuck in an elevator with Christmas carols playing on a loop? Are you sure it hasn't already happened?</p> <p>Take a break from your day; the weekend is nearly here, and what better way to prepare for the first weekend of spring than some belly laughs with the Hardwicks?</p>
