Is That a Real Phobia?!

from Squirrel Talk

What are you actually afraid of? Spiders? Needles? Heights? Or something completely ridiculous, like peanut butter sticking to the roof of your mouth? This week on Squirrel Talk, Chris and Jon dive into the weird, wonderful, and sometimes downright confusing world of phobias. We test each other on bizarre real phobias, try to figure out what some absolutely ridiculous-sounding words mean, and attempt to separate legitimate fears from ones we may have completely made up. Along the way, we discover that there are some VERY specific things people are apparently terrified of. And because Mike is STILL off in Japan, Chris and Jon take a shot at figuring out what the hell Mike is actually doing over there. Are their guesses reasonable? Absolutely not. Are they probably more entertaining than the truth? Almost certainly. It's another episode of Squirrel Talk where we learn something, question our sanity, and somehow end up wondering whether ducks are watching us. 1Up Electric Sponsor Ad You know what's scarier than spiders? Needles? Clowns? Electrical work you decided to do yourself after watching one YouTube video. Don't be that guy. When you need electrical work done right, call 1Up Electric. Whether it's a new outlet, lighting, electrical repairs, or a bigger project, let the professionals handle the stuff that can literally shock you. Because unlike some of the phobias we talked about today, getting electrocuted is a legitimate reason to be concerned. Call 1Up Electric and let them keep your house powered up—and keep you from becoming the next episode of What Not to Do With Electricity. 1Up Electric — because some things are better left to the professionals.
