0:3636 secondsall right welcome to the worst of the best podcast I'm your host Ryan with me locally right next to me we're not sitting across from each other virtually
0:4343 secondswe're actually in the same room together so for better for worse the recording might not be as good we'll find out but it's my brother Jason right here next to
0:5050 secondsme yeah nice to be here in your home it's been a while since we I think we've only done one other podcast where we've
0:5757 secondsbeen together I think it was a music one wasn't it it wasall was Metallica R lightning
1:041 minute, 4 secondsor I think it was the Black album was that in person yeah oh okay yeah yeah The Black Album uh we did in person yeah the black albums are well for those who
1:131 minute, 13 secondscare about behind the curtain it's our number one download recent months anyways it's a very popular album and rightfully so we're it was a big
1:201 minute, 20 secondsdownload for us but Jason today we're talking about bizarre phobias or phobias that aren't very common you know we
1:271 minute, 27 secondsoften talk about sphar spiders fear of the dark fear of heights is there anything you're afraid of um I I think
1:351 minute, 35 secondsyou know one that kind of plagued me most of my life is that comes to mind is claustrophobia yeah that's right I knew
1:421 minute, 42 secondsabout you that's right yeah like I being in tight spaces I I start to feel stressed you know you're sleeping in your sleeping bag and you can't move
1:511 minute, 51 secondsyour legs around or you know those sort of things I don't like fear yeah yeah well not that very many people have when
1:581 minute, 58 secondsI think of feel like afraid I'm scared but I I I start to feel kind of panicky if I can't have the ability to to move
2:072 minutes, 7 secondsthat's that's fair like for me it's height phobia for me is anything that's debilitating yeah I don't have I'm not afraid of driving so I get behind the wheel of a car and I drive I don't think
2:152 minutes, 15 secondsanything of it but Heights I have to think about and I get nervous scaling a overlooking a cliff or Bridge or or repelling or bungee jumping where people
2:232 minutes, 23 secondslike oh I live for bungee jumping like I'm afraid to jump off a a ledge I think once you jump the height gets less and less and less so it should decrease as
2:322 minutes, 32 secondsyou well it should decrease but then it should increase again if the bun of jump is worked properly there should be an increase again so I guess in those terms
2:402 minutes, 40 secondsyeah claustrophobia is is one that I would interact with the most I suspect in day-to-day life the topic today Jay
2:472 minutes, 47 secondsis fears that aren't as common as the dark or spiders or dogs or that claustrophobia fear fight so these are
2:562 minutes, 56 secondsnot very common and what we're going to do is pick at the very end what of these 10 fears would you not want to have the
3:043 minutes, 4 secondsmost like obviously nobody wants to be afraid of anything but if you had to have nine of them which one would you not want to have the very least okay
3:123 minutes, 12 secondsyeah that makes sense okay all right so you got number 10 yes and so right now I have a fear of being able to uh
3:193 minutes, 19 secondspronounce any of these fears because they are never heard of I think any of these yeah bear with us with their pronunciations with their pronunciations
3:273 minutes, 27 secondshere so genophobia this G actually before we we should have guessed we should guess we because we
3:353 minutes, 35 secondshaven't really read through I saw this once so I can't but for the remainder we'll try to guess so genophobia I would have guessed something like I don't know
3:433 minutes, 43 secondsGene thinking of yeah body or something like that yeah I was thinking when I read it I was thinking genetics some type of fear of my genetics becoming
3:513 minutes, 51 secondsmutated or something something along the lines but it does have something to do with our bodies and it is the fear of
3:583 minutes, 58 secondschins okay I don't know I this making things up who really legitimately has a fear of
4:074 minutes, 7 secondsgenophobia is you're afraid of chins so you see a chin and you're like can't look at it maybe you're un comfortable
4:164 minutes, 16 secondsyou know as a type of body part that you're not comfortable connecting with so if if you suffer from genophobia are you doubly afraid of
4:244 minutes, 24 secondssomebody who has a double chin is it even scarier yes it's got to be so like and then they have a list of a couple other
4:334 minutes, 33 secondsphobias like chiro phobias a fear of hands that's weird genu phobia fear of knees could you imagine like trying to
4:414 minutes, 41 secondshave social interactions you're talking with people and you're looking at them and and all you're doing is staring at their chin or looking away from them
4:484 minutes, 48 secondsbecause of their chin look at my eyes just look at my eyes don't focus on the chin so I guess durink eyes are up here so I guess during Co this has been
4:564 minutes, 56 secondsreally helpful to the people that have genophobia oh CU their Chin's recovered okay fair enough phobia is all in the brain right so it's obvious for whatever
5:045 minutes, 4 secondsreason the the body or the brain has decided there's something uncomfortable about your chin or your hands or your
5:125 minutes, 12 secondsknees yeah you become hyperfocused on particular so it's unfortunate so yeah we'll obviously kind of make light make jokes but we're not making jokes of anyone's actual suffering because it's a
5:205 minutes, 20 secondsphobia you know it makes them uncomfortable and fearful so yeah being afraid of a part of the face would make living difficult so that's not a good
5:285 minutes, 28 secondsone that's right away that's not a good one yeah cuz you're dealing with people's face all the time so again Co they probably were pretty comfortable with the mask restrictions interesting
5:375 minutes, 37 secondsyeah all right so genophobia fear of chins number nine s phobia Singin phobia any
5:455 minutes, 45 secondsguesses uh fear fear of being asked to spell a word okay I'm going to say fear
5:535 minutes, 53 secondsof hearing something something with to do with hearing okay all right so here we go most of us experienc irritation or
6:006 minutesawkwardness when we are with other relatives so nevertheless people with sin genes phobia have a fear of
6:096 minutes, 9 secondsrelatives interesting that's crazy you're afraid of relatives now there might be some reasons that obviously
6:176 minutes, 17 secondsthere had to be a traumatic experience early in life to have triggered these fears so there could be something very
6:246 minutes, 24 secondsdark or Sinister that would make you feel uncomfortable or not trust relative interesting cuz you think about
6:326 minutes, 32 secondsmean we're born into a family so right away you have a lot of these fears right away seeing these first two the chin thing now a fear of relatives what an
6:416 minutes, 41 secondsodd one that one is so a fear of relatives I would suspect it might go may just beyond your mom and dad it might just be like the extended family
6:486 minutes, 48 secondsAunts Uncles grandparents cousins yeah this was tie to like past life this could almost be evidence of past life
6:556 minutes, 55 secondslike you had a rough time in the past with relatives or so you're born like why are you why is this individual born with already preconceived relatives or
7:047 minutes, 4 secondsan issue yeah I wonder when it would start to manifest would it be when you're young you'd have to know that they're a relative right so at what
7:137 minutes, 13 secondspoint that I'm connecting this person with being a relative now I'm afraid of them because I know that they're a
7:217 minutes, 21 secondsrelative so there had to be an early some sort of trauma tra yeah so of course if you have this fear anyone
7:287 minutes, 28 secondslistening to this podcast who has a fear of the relatives look I get it not everyone wants to hang out with the relatives I don't like all my relatives
7:357 minutes, 35 secondsbut I'm not afraid of them all obviously another debilitating fear absolutely I don't know how one would function with this maybe just don't ever go to family
7:437 minutes, 43 secondsreunions I guess boy the uh the impact on you as an individual not being able to associate with family yeah you know
7:527 minutes, 52 secondsit's such an important part of who we are and the joy that we get out of life is through family what you could do in
7:597 minutes, 59 secondsthis situ ation is if you knew your young son or daughter had a fear of relatives you could just trick them and say this was just a work party and not a
8:068 minutes, 6 secondsfamily reunion it's just a this a summer work party you know here's your you know you just call everyone Mr and Mrs say a and
8:148 minutes, 14 secondsUncle you know just pretend everyone's just a work a working friend and not a relative all sudden they're comfortable I never thought that would even exist this fear but this is the thing all
8:228 minutes, 22 secondsthese are real phobias they have names cuz people have identified it and yeah oh I got to guess with this one Jason number have a guess okay so AB
8:328 minutes, 32 secondsablutophobia guess Auto ablutions I wonder oh hygiene you're afraid to keep yourself clean maybe hygienically clean
8:418 minutes, 41 secondscuz ablutions means like cleaning yourself so see if we're close okay oh right we guessed it yeah we guessed it
8:488 minutes, 48 secondswhat does it say yeah so it's the fear of being washed and bathed yeah yeah it's most common in children of course
8:568 minutes, 56 secondsoh but there's yeah there's going to be adults who go like okay when's the last time you had a shower I would say a lot of kids actually this is what they have cuz a lot of kids will putting them in
9:049 minutes, 4 secondsthe bath it's just like a they go swimming in the lakes or pools not an issue put them in the bath or wash their hair I've had a few of my kids literally
9:129 minutes, 12 secondsscream bloody and I'm sure parents listening bloody murder when their hair gets washed you know or their face gets wet again that must be like a
9:209 minutes, 20 secondsdeep-seated evolutionarily something right in our background in our D makeup or whatever
9:279 minutes, 27 secondsthat triggers this response I mean it's like a dog right you put a a dog we had a golden retriever absolutely love going
9:359 minutes, 35 secondsin the water give her a bath and he looks like you're just like you know about to kill her like and the her whole
9:419 minutes, 41 secondsdemeanor would and uh personality would just completely shrink she hated it but
9:499 minutes, 49 secondsjumping in a lake and going into the river or yeah not an issue at all so so again I can see why this when people are truly fearful this that's one thing that
9:589 minutes, 58 secondsyou know to kick and scream to bathe your kid but to be truly fearful of this as an adult that's not as common of course but there are adults who don't
10:0610 minutes, 6 secondsclean themselves I've seen them been around some but I don't even know if that's a fear if it's lazy but this would be actual people for whatever reason I guess are afraid of taking a
10:1410 minutes, 14 secondsbath or washing themselves interesting that it's actually a fearful experience not even just a lazy experience it's just right they're scared to do it all
10:2210 minutes, 22 secondsright number seven neophobia neo lights maybe or is it new Neo new
10:2910 minutes, 29 secondsbeing afraid of something new okay let's find out you can guess along at home too play along let us know the comments
10:3710 minutes, 37 secondsbelow I don't know below what people have to listen before they can comment no listeners no comments no listen mom
10:4510 minutes, 45 secondscomment uh neophobia we all have heard the saying that change ah is the only constant thing in this world so human
10:5410 minutes, 54 secondsbeings are uncomfortable with change but neophobia is another thing it's a severe fear of new experiences and things will
11:0111 minutes, 1 secondbe right you you new yeah yeah something new Neo is typic not typic but it kind of yeah new so for obvious reasons
11:0911 minutes, 9 secondsneophobia can not only affect the well-being and happiness of those who have this phobia this may also be the reason for missing out of life-changing experiences and opportunities that life
11:1811 minutes, 18 secondscan offer according to research neophobia physical or mental pressure May minimize life expectancy all these would go without saying you know mental health in general you know you live a
11:2611 minutes, 26 secondslonger healthier life if if you're just functioning properly I hate to say yeah and and if you can figure out a way to overcome these fears I got to tell these
11:3511 minutes, 35 secondspeople who are afraid of new things or new experiences dying would be a new experience so if you want to live longer stop being afraid of
11:4211 minutes, 42 secondsdying uh people are generally we don't like change we do get we fear fear of unknowns yeah right the comfort zone
11:5111 minutes, 51 secondswhether it's like institutionalized even people that are in prison for 25 30 years they're afraid of being released cuz they're like what am I going to do I don't know what to do a lot of unknowns
12:0012 minutesa lot of unknowns yeah there are people who just will never change or they don't want to try new things at all I know there's people who eat the same thing every day the same peanut butter
12:0912 minutes, 9 secondssandwich every day they won't try new things M I think it probably falls into that idea of the fear of I don't want to try no no no I I like peanut butter
12:1712 minutes, 17 secondssandwiches I don't want to try peanut butter and jam I don't know no you can't make me that might be in that condition where they just refuse to do anything different cuz it might affect or I'm not
12:2512 minutes, 25 secondsgoing to pick something different from that menu or I know what I'm doing has been safe right and therefore if I change what has been safe yeah the
12:3412 minutes, 34 secondsconsequences can be whatever okay so number six here is deepo phobia or DPO
12:4212 minutes, 42 secondsmaybe just D dno or dpop phobia yeah oh Jeepers DPO I don't know so it's de I wonder
12:5112 minutes, 51 secondswhat or dipo I don't know fear of uh fear of lizards dinosaur I don't know
12:5812 minutes, 58 secondswhat do you got I I can't even guess so I'm going to I'm going to guess fear of um oh I should that's funny it's almost
13:0613 minutes, 6 secondsokay you okay go ahead go ahead and read it J ah I can't even don't even know while several people experienced a common form of social phobia depn phobia
13:1513 minutes, 15 secondson the other hand is more specific and defined as the fear of dinner conversations so I guess it' be
13:2213 minutes, 22 secondsinteresting to know what the prefix actually means D yeah probably some Latin word for probably for for dining
13:3013 minutes, 30 secondsthere some sort of like yeah so dinner conversations so people just don't want to talk during dinner time like over their meals that's weird so they prefer
13:3813 minutes, 38 secondsjust to eat quietly privately however Studies have shown Jason that if you remain silent while you're eating it actually benefits digestion so maybe
13:4713 minutes, 47 secondsthey're just smarter than us yeah it is kind of awkward talking while you're eating cuz you to a large degree cuz it's funny how we use dates people often
13:5413 minutes, 54 secondsdate and dine right imagine if you're afraid of having small talk while you're eating invites you for see I'm the
14:0014 minutesopposite I'm a very slow eater maybe too slow and I think it's because I look at maybe the dinner and
14:0814 minutes, 8 secondseating as more of a social interaction and so I think I tend to talk while I eat oh I've noticed this over the last
14:1614 minutes, 16 secondsfew years that when I'm eating with other with others but I tend to be the last person to be eating and everybody
14:2414 minutes, 24 secondselse is fully finished maybe I use that as a well but you're not afraid no but I'm not afraid but I'm I'm kind of the opposite maybe some people like they're
14:3214 minutes, 32 secondsafraid to eat and they want to I don't know why why would you be afraid to I know well it's a social it's a social phobia so I guess it's somehow triggered
14:4214 minutes, 42 secondswith Meal Time speaking while you're eating they don't want to talk H so it must be some sort of connection between the ingestion of food and conversations
14:5014 minutes, 50 secondsat the same time it's very specific right these exist very specific fears call into our
14:5714 minutes, 57 secondsshow uh lines are open let us know you suffer from many of these phobias now here we go Iraqi bet tropia Iraqi bet
15:0615 minutes, 6 secondsphobia I'm probably saying that wrong so got we have a racky here so we thinking spider like something to do spiders yeah
15:1315 minutes, 13 secondsthis one like buto is like a it sounds to me like a berite a food
15:2115 minutes, 21 secondsmetabolismo phobia aiy phobia there you go so there's a proper pronunciation
15:2915 minutes, 29 secondsI'm going to say a past in your food fear that there might be a past in your food oh okay so it has to do SPID oh a spider will crawl in your ear to ear
15:3815 minutes, 38 secondswhile you're sleeping possibly the only reason I say food is because buto like is like a metabolite from eating like a
15:4515 minutes, 45 secondsberate or let's see what it is okay although this isn't a life-threatening condition this list of peculiar phobias
15:5215 minutes, 52 secondswouldn't be complete without AO phobia or the fear Oh no you're right
16:0016 minutesabout the food Jason the fear of having peanut butter stuck on the the roof of your mouth that is a lifethreatening condition have you ever like gone like
16:0916 minutes, 9 secondswow this peanut butter is really thick and it's really hard to get down there have been a couple times where I've had peanut butter in my throat I eat natural
16:1616 minutes, 16 secondspeanut butter without sugar as a little bit of a snack I'll get a I'll just grab a scoop of peanut butter yeah I'll munch it down there' be a couple times like
16:2416 minutes, 24 secondsoh like it's not going down it's really uncomfortable I'm not not afraid but it's uncomfortable I just grab a glass of water but if you didn't have anything
16:3316 minutes, 33 secondsto drink nearby it would be a little bit panicky it does get stuck in your throat but this is specifically not your throat it's the roof of your mouth yeah Ro yeah
16:4216 minutes, 42 secondsthat's unfortunate cuz I love peanut butter imagine being so afraid of this happening that you couldn't enjoy peanut butter who doesn't love peanut butter come on it's delici we're talking about
16:5016 minutes, 50 secondsin being stuck in our throats they're just with the roof of the MTH the roof of the mouth very particular so you were right about the food Jay good job on the food I'm just trying to get the peanut
16:5816 minutes, 58 secondsbutter out maybe uh peanuts the legume I bet that's a very specific the nut Ira I bet if we
17:0717 minutes, 7 secondswere to spell Iraq yeah sounds saying Iraqi I know irq Iraqi right was a Latin word for peanut be well this one might
17:1617 minutes, 16 secondsbe an easier one to guess with this one Jay you've heliophobia now we could say you know helicopter something with flight maybe
17:2417 minutes, 24 secondswell that's but that's too easy Helio I wonder if it means like air something to do with air fear of hearing somebody's voice the helium oh people there are
17:3317 minutes, 33 secondspeople that don't like hearing people breathe but you're afraid of it so maybe the fear of having someone breathe on
17:4117 minutes, 41 secondsyou somebody's breath on the back of your neck sure it's uncomfortable but are you afraid of it there is a difference yeah oh okay so sunlight okay
17:5017 minutes, 50 secondssome people suffer from the rare condition know as heliophobia or the fear of sunlight wow Fe giv immense
17:5717 minutes, 57 secondspanic and anxiet so they're vampires yeah pretty much they also experience distress from Bright Lights in general so it's bright light sun or they're
18:0618 minutes, 6 secondsafraid of the harmful effect effects of the sun vampire yeah imagine being afraid of the Sun how do you become so
18:1418 minutes, 14 secondssee that sounds like a a learned thing like especially if it's based on the harmful effects of Sun so you were like conditioned at some point to be really
18:2218 minutes, 22 secondsUltra afraid the sun's going to give you cancer and then you just get hyperfocused on the impact of what the Sun can do to you but yeah interesting
18:3018 minutes, 30 secondsheliophobia the fear of sun the sons of this guy make life Sak well there are parts of the world you can move to there's also parts of the world you
18:3818 minutes, 38 secondsnever visit yeah and those are often the places that people visit are the places where Sunshine beaches yeah you would never be able to visit anywhere Tropic
18:4618 minutes, 46 secondsI'd recommend hey come move to the Pacific Northwest you'll be all right for most of the but I bet it's even a fear of even cloudy days I I would suspect if you have that kind of fear of
18:5418 minutes, 54 secondsthe sun I wonder if cloudy days would even help you that much like you probably are just only comfortable at night time yeah what happens if the clouds break up and the Wind Blows the
19:0319 minutes, 3 secondsclouds away or or whatever at any moment yeah at any moment to the the sun can be can break through chorophobia fear of
19:1219 minutes, 12 secondsdancing maybe choreography oh chore fear of acting fear fear of uh yeah choreography maybe like fear of like a
19:2019 minutes, 20 secondsballet or um you know like those big dance routines you'll see all the pop stars do what do you what you call that like a fear of um yeah fear of Dance we
19:2919 minutes, 29 secondsnailed it huh it's dancing the fear of dancing that was my guess I got it oh yeah fear of dancing so regardless of
19:3619 minutes, 36 secondstheir dancing skills or your necessity to dance this uh I wonder if are you are you afraid of seeing people dance I was going to say people would have fear of
19:4319 minutes, 43 secondsWatching Me dance yeah sure because I cannot dance but the fear of the actual dance scene it says here regardless of
19:5119 minutes, 51 secondsyour own personal daning skills or the necessity to dance any occasion or circumstance that is linked with dancing can trigger this phobia so you can see
20:0020 minutesit so it's like you could be afraid of clowns and you don't also don't want to be a clown so you're afraid of dancing and you don't want to dance at first glance you think that that would not be
20:0820 minutes, 8 secondsmuch of a a hindrance in life but I'm but as I say the choreography of like these dance routines like if you were say a fan of any pop artist you would
20:1720 minutes, 17 secondsnever watch their videos you would never go to their concerts you wouldn't dance to it think about the dancing you've seen in your life you've seen a lot of dancing even like dancing dancing kind
20:2520 minutes, 25 secondsof in your car or in your house to a song you joy that gets you gets you going or I know my kids are embarrassed when they see me
20:3320 minutes, 33 secondsdance but they're not afraid yeah they're embarrassed but there is a difference between being embarrassed and being fearful having fear wow afraid of
20:4120 minutes, 41 secondsdancing all right okay number two giop phobia giop phobia okay maybe gielo you
20:5020 minutes, 50 secondscan think like uh geology noo maybe something to do with maps structures something to do with some
20:5820 minutes, 58 secondssort structures Maps buildings I'm kind of going I know it's all over the place physical objects like that like buildings or Maps I don't know why I'm going with both like pyramids or
21:0621 minutes, 6 secondssomething like that you know buildings like that yeah you any guesses oh boy probably overthinking that's going to be
21:1321 minutes, 13 secondsa million things as we have seen jilio fear of being I'm going to go like congenial okay what do you mean by that
21:2221 minutes, 22 secondsyou know you're kind of a desire to get along with to be congenial I don't know you're sort of on the right you're closer okay I looked the answers I'm
21:2921 minutes, 29 secondstelling you you're closer to I'm not quite able to pinpoint exactly what it is but fearful of getting along with people or people that want to get along
21:3721 minutes, 37 secondswith you you're kind of hesitant or your fear of somebody I'm not able to quite pinpoint the way that I'm thinking in my mind and expressing it but anyway oh I
21:4521 minutes, 45 secondsguess it's yeah I'll read it yeah just read oh laughter numerous research Studies have shown that laughter is beneficial for health by improving
21:5321 minutes, 53 secondsmental health so laughter is often the best medicine unfortunately there are people who have a phobia from laughing
22:0222 minutes, 2 secondsknown as giop phobia that they get anxious and distressed from being with laughing people or simply the act of
22:0922 minutes, 9 secondslaughing interesting wow some studies suggest that the reason for this fobia could be laughing during inappropriate circumstances or situations and being
22:1822 minutes, 18 secondslaughed at by people it's weird that I was fairly close boy I guess uh going to a standup well I was going to say people that have this fear Jason they probably
22:2722 minutes, 27 secondslove our podcast yeah cuz all our jokes aren't funny well I guess we laugh at our own stupid jokes that's true they
22:3522 minutes, 35 secondswould yeah our jokes are lame but we still laugh but they won't laugh so yeah thus they won't be scared okay being
22:4222 minutes, 42 secondsafraid of laughter don't see the Joker don't watch comedy shows yeah that's weird canned laughter so this is interesting because if you watch friends or Seinfeld they have you know that
22:5222 minutes, 52 secondsstudiio sound laughter right the joke but then if you watch a show like Curb Your Enthusiasm there's no laughter you
22:5922 minutes, 59 secondscan laugh or you can find it funny but you won't hear the laughter in the show unless the character laughs are they afraid to laugh themselves they get
23:0823 minutes, 8 secondsanxious and distressed from being with laughing people or simply the act of laughing wow something to do with the

24:1524 minutes, 15 secondswe go all right oh no optopus the fear of opening your eyes that's crazy so basically I said it's the fear of being
24:2324 minutes, 23 secondsblind but the opposite the fear of seeing how do you become a afid to see things but but it's the fear of opening
24:3124 minutes, 31 secondsyour eyes this this is a nightmare for wow that's a real oh wow I think we got our number one yeah spoiler because it
24:4024 minutes, 40 secondsdis encompasses everything not this L necessary but think I was actually for the sake of this list but I was going with a fear
24:4624 minutes, 46 secondschins for a lot of this cuz you just see chins all the time so you just you could be afraid of spers or Heights you're not exposed to that all the time like being
24:5524 minutes, 55 secondshigh up in the air or even a spider but you see people's chins every day for example yeah it's interesting going through this list and so at the end of
25:0325 minutes, 3 secondsthe day this is unfortunate for everyone that goes through the yeah well let's go through the list one more time for listeners maybe uh so here we go
25:1025 minutes, 10 secondsgenophobia aere of chins syin phobia that's the fear of relatives Auto phobia that's the fear of
25:1925 minutes, 19 secondsbathing yourself neophobia the fear of new things changes dnop phobia or dnop phobia that's the fear of dinner
25:2725 minutes, 27 secondsconversations arachi trophobia that's to fear peanut butter being stuck to the roof of your mouth that's an easy one to live with just don't have peanut butter but
25:3625 minutes, 36 secondsheliophobia the fear of sunlight that's rough too yeah that's a chorophobia it's the fear of dancing or seeing dancing
25:4325 minutes, 43 secondsgiloh phobia the fear of laughing or laughing yourself and opop phobia the fear of opening your eyes now you could
25:5025 minutes, 50 secondsargue the fear of opening your eyes I wonder though if it it dissipates once you've overcome it so it's the same way if you jump over off a bridge like okay
25:5825 minutes, 58 secondsokay okay okay I'm okay I'm okay so maybe when you first wake up like I want more explanation for that one I like is it just your eyes are always open or the
26:0626 minutes, 6 secondsact just opening them and then okay they're open I'm good I would have mind a little bit more on that one H so we just did some additional research it
26:1426 minutes, 14 secondsjust sounds like it's just open your eyes it's scary think about yourself watching a scary movie Jason you know when you cover your you know when you
26:2226 minutes, 22 secondscover your eyes cuz you don't want to see that scary part that's what these people live with all the time just the of open their eyes it's that same part
26:3026 minutes, 30 secondsof their whole Life's a scary movie yeah it's like literally it's not just in a particular moment of time but it's all the time well it's almost like that
26:3926 minutes, 39 secondsone's a cheat cuz so let's just go with I mean I don't want to take away from your I mean that's got to be number one
26:4726 minutes, 47 secondsyeah I that's kind of uncontroversial cuz these weren't really going in any kind of order cuz peanut butter was in the middle but yeah that
26:5426 minutes, 54 secondsone came out of nowhere uh so let's say that one wasn't on the list cuz that one I hate to say that one was a little bit of nobody would want that fear it's a
27:0127 minutes, 1 secondfear of living almost like yeah like you'd rather just be blind I guess they would I mean they' rather be BL it's the opposite of being blind you you don't
27:0927 minutes, 9 secondswant your sight if that is true if this is a true phobia obviously number one opop phobia is the worst phobia yeah but
27:1827 minutes, 18 secondslet's pretend that's not on this list yeah cuz that one was almost too easy I say one that I was leaning towards was actually number two the fear of laughter
27:2627 minutes, 26 secondsor wow and the reason being is because you really inhibit your ability to express yourself or have other people
27:3527 minutes, 35 secondsExpress themselves we've talked in the past privately like this idea of being suppressed is very you know it's a
27:4227 minutes, 42 secondsburdensome experience like you suppress what you suppress what you want to express and how that can be you know a
27:5027 minutes, 50 secondsdifficult thing to deal with and so to feel like you have to control or monitor what you find humorous whether it's from other people people and you want to
27:5927 minutes, 59 secondsmonitor them and control them so they don't say something or they don't express something that's humorous to
28:0628 minutes, 6 secondsthem and also you are afraid to express something that's humorous to yourself cuz you don't want to laugh like I don't know this inability to communicate
28:1528 minutes, 15 secondssomething with others or allow them to communicate it back to you which we do through laughter no I like it that's a
28:2228 minutes, 22 secondsgood reasoning I'm still leaning towards guess my knee-jerk reaction is still The Chins just just deal with faces all day
28:2928 minutes, 29 secondsbut you can look away yeah I think that's something that uh I me all these I mean they're all horrible yeah I mean it's it's debilitating all of these are
28:3828 minutes, 38 secondsa level of debilitation in some way it sure makes you feel like you're I feel a lot more normal after I mean I hate to say it like I'm I'm okay with being
28:4628 minutes, 46 secondsafraid of heights I'll live with that that's something you can live with cuz you're not dealing with Heights I mean you might come across it throughout your life but you're not dealing with it you
28:5428 minutes, 54 secondsshouldn't be dealing with the heights outside of a normal life you're not just on a precipice every day it doesn't make sense right even flying you don't have
29:0229 minutes, 2 secondsto fly if you don't want to or close spaces you shouldn't just find yourself you know stuck in a crevice somewhere so yeah those are kind of normal fears
29:1129 minutes, 11 secondsbecause you don't come across them often yeah but these are fears that minus the peanut butter these are things you really can't avoid you're going to see
29:1929 minutes, 19 secondsdancing you're going to well you're going to see seeing if you have sight right you're going to you're going to be around all these things laughter dancing
29:2729 minutes, 27 secondschins so it's unfortunate these people have boy so most of these other than the the food with the peanut butter one is
29:3429 minutes, 34 secondssocial a lot of social anxieties we've talked about Heights and you know and actually I grew up and still maybe a
29:4129 minutes, 41 secondslittle bit like a fear of dogs I mean I had a dog for like 15 years so obviously it wasn't a true phobia per I known dogs
29:5029 minutes, 50 secondsyeah like you should have a healthy respect for that definitely younger I was afraid when I was yeah I remember being a young kid hearing a dog
29:5829 minutes, 58 secondsbark yeah well it's an animal but your size apprehensive right but you kind of grow out of it I mean even now yeah healthy respect for an animal that I'm
30:0730 minutes, 7 secondsnot familiar with but if if I had a true true true fear of dogs I would never gotten a dog right that's the debilitation that would be the I was
30:1530 minutes, 15 secondsjust going to say proper fear keeps us safe there's phobias which I think is when it becomes a phobia that's when you
30:2330 minutes, 23 secondsdebilitates you like I can climb a ladder and if I had to but some people are so so afraid of heights they can't even step on ladder is that depilating
30:3130 minutes, 31 secondsso do I have a phobia of heights I'm uncomfortable if I know I'm safe like I love roller coaster so how fearful am I then I love roller coasters yeah but I
30:4030 minutes, 40 secondsdon't like climbing a ladder yeah cuz I'm more strapped in in a roller coaster so again I have a healthy respect of fears but if I'm kind of strapped in then I'm strapped in but if I'm just on
30:4830 minutes, 48 secondsa wobbly ladder comfortable but if you're truly truly truly doesn't matter if you're strapped in you no if you people are crying they're crying I've
30:5630 minutes, 56 secondsnever cried on a roller coast so all right all right all right that's good there you go uh thanks everyone that's joined us if you want you know I've never done this before Jade after all
