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.
