  Speaker 1: a if a fire truck. If I'm driving home and
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: a fire truck goes rushing past me in the same direction,
• 5:47

  Speaker 2: Oh for sure, I think that every time.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I actually that I had when I was living in

  Speaker 1: or two? Let us hear about it, all right, Let's
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: go to Mary. I'm Mary, good morning.
• 6:35
  Speaker 11: I have an irrational fear of being stopped in traffic
• 6:39
  Speaker 11: that backs me up under an overpas, like if there
• 6:42
  Speaker 11: was an earthquake, I'm afraid the overpass will fall on me.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, I get that one.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: That's true. I mean it would, it would if there
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: was an earthquake.
• 6:50
  Speaker 11: Well, it stems from when I was a kid and
• 6:53
  Speaker 11: the earthquake in the Bay Area, which was like I
• 6:56
  Speaker 11: don't know what was it, like eighty nine or something,
• 6:58
  Speaker 11: and I saw like the.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Free ways that collapsed.
• 7:03
  Speaker 11: Ever since then, I'm just get me out.
• 7:05
  Speaker 12: From under there.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I think one person I think there was as I
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: recall one person who was smashed in that, and interestingly enough,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: her name was Mary.
• 7:14
  Speaker 10: Stop.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Thanks Mary.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Thanks.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: That reminds me of by by in Little Cottonwood Canyon.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: There's a giant boulder that someone a long time ago
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: stuck a stick under that looks like the stick is.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Holding it up. Oh, I see, and for this, I think.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: It's still there. Every time I would drive by that,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: I was certain the stick was going to break and
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: the boulder.
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: Was a treacherous coyote.

• 7:52
  Speaker 8: denserven Area, a parallel parked on a hill, and I'm
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: afraid of walking in between the two parked cars because

• 8:00
  Speaker 8: are somehow both gonna give way and it's gonna fall
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: back and crush my legs. Downhill could happen.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: That could happen.
• 8:06

  Speaker 1: or in a movie, teetering on the edge of a building.
• 12:07
  Speaker 10: Or yeah, exactly what I mean.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: It's designed to feel uncomfortable. Yeah, so so I don't know.

  Speaker 1: Maybe it's not that irrational.
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: But it's still I oh, I mean when we're in

• 12:40
  Speaker 11: glass door one day and the whole thing's gonna shatter.

  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe not irrational, but there it is.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: Okay, Spencer, stay away from those doors, all right, So
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: let's see, uh, Holly x Pole. My irrational fear is
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: the while I'm camping, I'll have to get up in
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: the middle of the night to use the bathroom outside
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: in the dark. The fear comes from thinking that at
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: any moment, a bear, cougar or some other predator is
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: going to jump out of the bushes and attack me.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: See, I don't think that's irrational.
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: Irrational. Yeah, here's one that is irrational. Stripes at the
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: bottom of pools.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: What are you afraid? What's going to happen with that?

• 13:29
  Speaker 7: Expool, let's see werewolves?
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well that I know they're not real, but the
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: thought of seeing one terrifies me. I guess I think
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: my heart would instantly stop out of fear.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I guess that is completely irrational.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: Oh, let's see it's done. But when my hand slips
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: off my bed, it will wake me up.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because something's gonna grab it.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Something's gonna grab it. Oh, Donna, there online one.

  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Oh I saw really yeah? Huh sure? Yeah? Oh good,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I guess that's irrational because I don't don't really even

  Speaker 1: understand how anyone could. Do you have any idea why
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: you fear? Why that movies and stuff?
• 14:31
  Speaker 9: No, I know why.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: It's my mom and brother went to a haunted house
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: in New Jersey and they had people grabbing their seat
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: when they were watching on the bridge.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I was like, five, okay, okay, all right, Donna, thank you.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Now here's the one that I'm surprised that we here
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: at the end, are finally getting. My irrational fear is
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: being buried alive. Yes, I know it's a common one,
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: but it's so bad and that if I if I
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: can't get my feet uncovered fast enough, I go into
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: a panic attack.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I would say, have yourself cremated. Yeah, you don't have
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to be worried about being buried along
