Trivia
The term "Misery Index" was coined by Ronald Reagan when he ran for President against Jimmy Carter in 1980. To emphasize the economic problems during the Carter Administration, he combined the double-digit rate of inflation with the double-digit interest rates to create what he called Carter's misery index. At that time the number was over 25% as compared to the more recent rate of under 3%.

Fun show, but the shrinks are dumb as a door.

The only thing that ruins the show is the results. The numbers in the misery index are determined by "shrinks" who apparently can't even type the word shrink, because the pontuation makes absolutely zero sense and therefor, making it impossible to win the rounds with your brain and having to count only on pure luck.

Example: "a woman is sent to the hospital after putting pop tarts in her vagina and having problems" This was rated 40. Then "woman go to surgery to remove her bladder and then found the removed bladder in her bag with her clothes" A funny, harmless, painless story, but the moron shrinks rated as 64!!!!!! LOL
