I'm not a very old-fashioned person. No sirree.
Misery Menagerie
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.

Blind Cannibals
Misery Menagerie
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.)

To DELETE or NOT DELETE? (Duh...don't delete.)
Misery Menagerie
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?

Happy vengeance, big shrimp, and an overhyped surprise
Misery Menagerie
This week we're somehow talking about having an argument with a co-worker, big shrimp, "beta-sitting," where North Carolina is, and which is scarier: jumping out of an airplane or scuba diving.

Turning the fear of upside down ... upside down
Misery Menagerie
What are you most afraid of? Things that go bump (or boom) in the night? Rinky dink carnival rides that don't feel quite...clicked?

Meeting Jack Nicholson ... in a clown suit
Misery Menagerie
We're sure the actor Jack Nicholson is a very nice person, but if you saw The Shining at a tender age, you may be less star struck than fear struck at meeting him in ... say, a creepy hotel.

You just lost 10 IQ points....
Misery Menagerie
You just lost 10 IQ points. On a scale of 1 - 100, how bad does that make you feel? Remember the one about peeing on an electric fence? How much better or worse is this? (And if you're peeing on electric fences, are you sure you can afford those 10 points?)

When Life Gives You Lemons ...
Misery Menagerie
What do you do when life gives you lemons? Like, say, naked pictures of you get distributed? Or you're stuck in traffic for DAYS? Or maybe your mom gives you a really bad haircut?

Insomnia, UFOs, Teachers & Other Things That Keep You Up at Night
Misery Menagerie
The mom-and-son duo are back with yet more situations you REALLY don't want to find yourself in.
info_outlineWhat are you most afraid of? Things that go bump (or boom) in the night? Rinky dink carnival rides that don't feel quite...clicked?
And is hearing that your mom did something untoward with a controlled substance while pregnant with you just slightly more concerning than finding a worm in an apple?
Today we're talking fear: chronic pain, death, stick figures on dragons. It's kind of a crazy conversation, but considering it's Ericka and Jay, wouldn't we be more concerned if it wasn't?
