Man vs Fear - revealing our deepest phobias

Fear. It creeps up in the dead of night, in dentist chairs, on balconies 65 floors up, and sometimes… in the form of your dad pranking you with a dead snake. In this episode, Tim and J dive headfirst into the irrational, the existential, and the unexpectedly hilarious world of fear – from man-made heights and dental trauma, to the call of the void **ominous music** and the terrifying thought of raising kids in a hyper-masculine world.They swap stories about escape room breakdowns, seaside shark realisations, and listener-submitted fears (spoiler: you’re not alone in being afraid of open water or people thinking you’re fake). It’s funny, raw, and occasionally heart-thumpy.Oh, and we talk about a guy who says that it's not "manly" to **checks notes** eat soup...Key themes:– Fear as a motivator– Irrational vs rational fear– Parenting and provider anxiety– Panic attacks and mental health– Weird listener confessions– Why clowns are the absolute worstIf you’re enjoying the show PLEASE consider leaving us a 5* rating and a few words to review the show - the algorithm loves it and it’ll help more people find the show ❤️❤️Head to our Patreon for exclusive bonus content!
