A lot of families love to "roast" or tease one another as a means of good-natured camaraderie. When done well (in the right circumstances, the right tone, and for the right reasons), this kind of humour can increase connection. However, when done wrong, it can be disastrous, particularly when children are involved, as they may not understand nuance and sarcasm and tend to internalise this style of humour.

Justin and Kylie discuss the role of humour within families, the importance of empathy, and an alternative to roasting and sarcasm that can lead to happier, healthier family relationships.

In this episode:

Humour - the good, the bad, the ugly

Sarcasm, trash-talking, 'burning', baiting
Verbal sparring, quick thinking, witty banter
3 benefits of "roasting" within a family

3 challenges and concerns of using this humour

The art of laughing at your own mistakes
