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?

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.

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.

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?)

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.

It must be Thursday!

Back from a brief hiatus, the Hardwicks are at it again, having one of their free-flowing, charming, and hilarious conversations that take them, somehow, from North Carolina to Hawaii, from sky diving to scuba diving. And we learn that it takes a LOT to make Jay mad.

Grab some popcorn, curl up on the couch, and take a break for Life and have a few laughs instead.
