This week on Don’t Feed the Animals, James and Aiden dive headfirst into the wonderfully weird world of irrational fears. From childhood trauma involving elves to lingering plane anxiety and fears so random they feel made up (but aren’t), this episode explores how fear can be hilarious, personal, and painfully human.

James shares stories from work, confesses a few of his own fears, and confronts the idea that maybe—just maybe—we like being scared sometimes. Meanwhile, Aiden dissects the logic (or lack thereof) behind irrational panic and questions whether fear is a flaw… or a feature.

Tune in, laugh a little, panic a lot, and maybe even share your own irrational fears after the show.
