The Fears Episode

The conversation explores a range of personal fears, from the intense dread of flying and being murdered to deeper existential worries like losing parents or being trapped in a terrifying situation. A vivid story is shared about a near-fatal kitchen incident, illustrating how paranoia and noise can trigger violent reactions. The hosts also delve into psychological anxieties, including suicidal thoughts when seeing high places, and the fear of emotional misalignment in relationships. Humor and playful challenges—like eating marshmallows or doing accents—serve as both distractions and coping tools. The discussion balances darkness with warmth, highlighting how shared experiences, like staying at an Airbnb or bonding over simple pleasures, create emotional connections that counteract fear. The conversation ends with a strong emphasis on mental health, referencing OCD therapy and support systems, showing that confronting fears is part of a broader journey toward emotional well-being. Throughout, the tone remains candid, self-aware, and grounded in real-life experiences.

It really is special. - Try all the new McCafe drinks. Yeah, let me tell. They've done it again. You know what I'd like to do? - What? - I'd like to settle the sauce argument that we had with a credible source, Yahoo Scout. Do most people make their own sauce, Yahoo Scout? - First sentence. Most people rely on packaged products. Nearly nine in 10 people use store-bought sauces or marinades. - Now, Chuck, I'd like you to read the second sentence. - However, homemade sauce usage stands at six in 10 people. - Thank you, Yahoo Scout. Majority rules. - Meaning both methods coexist among American households with packaged sauces-- - Chuck, I don't wanna hear it. I don't wanna hear it. - Scout.com, you mother-- - Scout.com. - We trust you. - Sorry. - Sorry about that. - Hey guys, you know, on our podcast-- - Not a bunch of vignette. - Vignette. - On our vignette segment, you just really feel like you're like fly on the wall in the experience of like hanging out. - You broke the concept by speaking to him. I'm just kidding. I spoke to him earlier. - All right, cut it, cut it. - No, don't cut it, don't cut it. - Cut it. - It's, it switches medium. - Chuck, how many of these do you think, I could shove in my mouth right now? How many? - I would, I would love to find, I mean-- - How many? - I bet you can do 15. - How many? Both take backs right now. - No, wait, no, 30. - Wait, 30? - In your mouth at once? - Yeah, once. - You're not swallowing? - I won't swallow, just shove. - I think you could, I love this, and you're doing it. - Yeah. - I think that you could do, I think you can put like nine in your mouth at once. - Okay, and what's your guess? - Do you have any idea what the answer is? - I have no idea. I've never done this before. Maybe when I was a kid. - Yeah, okay. Well. - My mouth has grown. - Sure. - How many do you think I can do? - Fuck, I fucked it all up. - Or do you wanna do your mouth too? And we'll see who can do the most. - I have a huge mouth. - Okay, let's see who can, who do you think can do more? - I think she could do more. - Okay, okay, and you guess nine for me, and how many for her? - Like 11. - Okay, okay, okay. She goes one. - Wanna do it? - One, no. - Hold on. - What? - No. - Let me just make my s'more before-- - Two, I'm watching. Two, her mouth's already full. - Yeah, now we, now I-- - Three, four, five, six is the best thing I've ever come up with. Six, are you-- - You're just, you're just getting started. Don't make her laugh. We can't make her laugh. It's like dangerous to make her laugh. You're just getting started. That can be squished like foam. Don't look at us. - Seven, are you-- - Do you wanna stop? - Are you choking? - No, she's all right. Keep going. - Seven, that's it. Okay, seven. So I think I'm just gonna put seven all in at once. - What do I do with it? - Smart. - No, I'm not gonna-- - I was drooling. - Okay, so she did seven. So Chuck, I'm just gonna go for a quick eight, okay? - You gotta be careful. You guys are making me laugh. - Chuck, I'm gonna go for a quick eight. You ready? - Don't choke. - Okay, this is four. - But remember, it's not-- - Can you turn this flame off? - No, no, I just wanna have more than her. This is four. - But you're gonna try to see how much you can fit. - Well, first I'm gonna get eight. - Yeah, but that's just the first step towards the larger goal. - I don't know how much it'll fit. She has a huge mouth. Okay. - What I'm saying is-- - Horse mouth. - At the end of this, we will know how many you can fit in your mouth. - You've done this before, I can tell. - I swear. Maybe as a child. - Oh, well, you've done it before. So just so everybody knows, I've never done it. - I don't think I've ever done this before. Okay, here's four. - Oh, fuck. Five. Six. - Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm. - What's that? - Don't make him laugh. Keep going, you're just getting started. They can stick out. They can keep, yeah. Just if you push them together, they can stick out and drink. Okay, I'll count for you. What's that, 11? - Mm-hmm. - 11? - Mm-hmm. - 12. Keep going. Don't make him laugh. 12. - Mm-hmm. - 13. You can keep, you can do the whole bowl if you focus. 13. 14. Keep going. 15. Wait, hold on. Let me just, don't get distracted by what I'm doing. I just have to film what you look like. Okay, you're at 15. Don't laugh, 16. Keep going. There's a whole bowl. 17. At this point, you're just building. - Mm-hmm. - Oh, I think he might've actually, he might be able to go forever now. 18. 19. It really comes down to laughing. It's not that. Hmm. What number is that? - 20. - 20? One. 21. 22. 23. 24. Don't laugh, stop. Just be focused. 25. We're just getting started. 26. I'm gonna get a different angle on you. Just 27. You look like Santa. Don't laugh. Oh no, that doesn't count. 28, I think. - Mm-hmm. - 29. Keep going. 30. 30. 31. 32. Just keep going. Maybe you're not at 33. Maybe this could go on forever. - This is insane. - 34. If anything falls, it's done. - Okay. - If they fall, they're done. Your structure's not valid. 34. - They're sticking together. - 35, I know, but they're hanging on by a thread. 36. Now he's scared of gravity, so he's cocked his head back. 37. I don't know. I've lost. 38. - Mm-hmm. - Okay. - This is insane. - Oh, the dangle. 39, but it's dangling. - Uh-oh. - Oh, smart adjustment. Wow, he ate six of them right there. 40. 41?

Don't, yeah. You would never. Your Achilles would rupture. - Check, I'm doing it right now. - Don't jump from the thing. - Where are you trying to jump? - To that thing. - I think that's such a bad-- - I don't know. - I would not do that. - I don't know if it's structurally sound at the end. - Check, I think I can do it. I think it's not-- - Benny, it's sticking out further. - Honestly, if you wanna be a-- - Check, I hope I slip and break my leg. - Maybe just do a little jump to the floor. - Do you even want me to move the phone-- - No. - Or the sunglasses? What if I just do one-- - Or the knife? - You have nowhere to land. - How could you not want-- - What do you mean? I'm gonna do one foot there and one foot-- - Oh my God, I can't, your Achilles is gonna rupture. - Should I try it? - I wouldn't, but you guys can do whatever you want. I just don't know that if it can take your weight. - This thing? - Check, first just hit down there and see if it can take my weight. Just like-- - Can you move my phone? - I have no idea. I'm not a physicist. - Can you move my phone-- - You don't know? - No, I don't know, like, weights. - Wait, just press hard over there. - Yeah, I think it can probably take your weight. - It's taking my weight. - You guys, this is not like jackass, get out. - I just wanna try. Check, should I try? - I'm not telling you to try. I think you do whatever you want. I'm obviously, I've backed up to see what happens if you try. - Do you want me to try? - No. - Check, there's so many sharp things. Okay, move the knife, move the knife. Just move the knife. - Move my-- - But leave the cell phone there. - Okay. - No, that's my phone. That's my cell phone. She doesn't want it there. - And move my sunglasses. - Gotta leave some obstacle. Leave the joint that's burnt. - I'll put the tape right here. - No, no, no, I don't like the tape. - Okay. - Check, I'm scared I'm gonna bang my head on this. - Benny, it's probably not a good idea. Benny, don't do it. What if you do hit your head or something? - No, I think I got it. - Look. - Oh, you did it. - That was so-- - I did it in one place. - That wasn't even hard. - That was so dumb. - I love it. - It was so anti-climactic. But over here, it actually looked like it was dangerous. - I thought it was very climactic. I was shocked. We were expected to be a simple step over. - That was the stupidest thing I ever watched. - What is your goal with this scary music? - Ever heard of a scary story freestyle? The stories I could tell you, you wouldn't be able to sleep. I got some real scary stories. You know, I have a song that I made called "Scary Story" that sucks, don't ever listen to it. Is this what it sounds like inside your brain all day? And it's like, it's like, do the, do the, don't do it. - Like kill myself? - Yeah. - This is not, this is too much for me. - You wanna try? You want me to? - I feel like I'm being like-- - Hello. - Hello. - Transported? - Oh wow. - Yeah, hypnotized. - You are. - I feel like you guys are, yeah.

I don't know, I like it better when we were eating marshmallows. I was having so much fun. Chuck, did it feel real? Yeah, real. Yeah. You didn't like that? I loved it. Everyone had to die. I thought that that was unbelievable. I thought that when I came out of here, everyone, you guys were gonna be like, that's the, the most. You were just like, everyone dies. Well, I thought we were supposed to do scary things. Your biggest fear was getting murdered, but how am I off topic? Speaking of fears, you have some OCD around one of your biggest fears. I do, and I don't love talking about it. My biggest fear is, like, my parents dying. That's one of my biggest fears, and I have a lot of OCD wrapped up into that, and I do some rituals around it. And honestly, it's not the right way to live, and if I knew about having a company like NoCD when I was really struggling at my peak with this thing when I was a kid, I might have tapped into it. I didn't know about it, unfortunately. Right. You should know that insurance actually covers 138 million Americans and includes support between sessions, so you never have to face OCD alone. You know. To learn more about starting. OCD therapy. To learn more about starting OCD, sorry, I have to read it again because it's OCD therapy. Yeah, I understand. Ah. To learn more about starting OCD therapy with NoCD, go to nocd.com/friends and book a free call with their team. That's nocd.com/friends. Hey, Chad. Yeah? I love drinking White Claw with my pals. Well, what about me? You're one of my pals. Oh. I think you're my best girl pal. You know what? What? On that note, I think we should have more nights where we drink White Claw together. I'm not drinking this on camera, but you know what I'm going to do? I'm staying home tomorrow, and I'm having a good time. You know what? I'm staying home tomorrow, and I'm having a backyard, pregame, day drinking, last minute party. I'll see you there. Can you say "spontaneous"? It's drink responsibly. Hard seltzer with flavors. White Claw Seltzer Works, Chicago, Illinois. I can. Look, why is falling asleep such a big thing- Why do you stick your tongue out when you go? I do. You went. What's the last way you'd want to die? Being murdered. Yeah. No, no. The type of way. What about skinned? Yeah, or suffocated. Yeah. Just like. Yeah. I mean, in the movies, being trapped under ice. Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Yeah. Trapped under ice is crazy. Do you ever worry about being in a factory, in your chains, getting stuck on the machinery? I'm choking you to death. Yeah. Jack, you ever worry about when you're in the factory? Have you ever stepped foot in a factory? I've never heard planes feel more- Yours are like fighter jets. Yeah. Literally, since we started creating these vignettes, it feels like- You mean filming a movie? Filming a podcast? No. The podcast? What do you mean? This is just a window into people hanging out. Chuck, is your biggest fear calling the vignette a podcast? I don't know what my biggest fear is. Probably not. I mean, look. Obviously, death. Not fulfilling my potential. I have- Your biggest fear is not- I have a big fear of, I have a really big fear of children coming and a number of things happening. One, me not feeling like the whole thing is that life changing. That's a fear. What's the whole thing? Being a father, having kids, like being kind of unmoved by children is a fear. I don't think that's going to happen. I think I want to be more moved than anyone, but it is a fear. More moved than anyone. Another fear is my body will break down before- That's kind of already happening. Before I'm able to play on the floor with the kids. Even with little kids that are family friends or whatever, when they want to play and they ask me to play, I play for five minutes and then I want to blow my head off. I just don't like playing. I have a fear that- I have a fear that I'm going to always think my kid is annoying because they want to spend time together. I'm optimistic that I will want to spend the time with the kid and that pivot will be what changes my life and my perspective for the better. But my fear is that it won't and that I'm trapped in this hell hole. Chuck, did you just say your biggest fear is that your kid will want to play with you? No. I mean, one fear is that I won't be moved- Your shirt is so long. Yes, Chuck. Your shirt is two-thirds your size. It's not that long. Chuck, your legs look like you look like a Oompa Loompa or something. In high school when your shirt was too short, they would say, "Your shirt is so young." Yeah. You do hate when your shirt is short. I've noticed that. I love it when my shirt is short. You always are like, "Is this shirt too short?" Oh, I hate the contemporary box, short, crop shirt. I hate it. Remember how good he looked the other day when he had it? Oh, yeah. I was like, "Oh, my God. I'm going to have to buy a new one." I'm going to have to buy a new one. I'm going to have to buy a new one. When he dresses and anything other than the Nike dry sport, I think you look so good right now, even though you are wearing a shirt that goes down to your knees. Do you think I have a good style? I love your style. Chuck, my biggest fear is that your shirt's going to fall down to your feet and take over your body. Do you think I have good style? You don't. Try. We'll go one at a time. Okay. You go first. You can go first. I already said it. Okay, do I think you have good style? You said what? Yes. I do think you have good style when you try, but for the past six years, every single day, you have worn a Nike dry sport shirt, one that traps your body odor. It makes you stink. I love the way you stink, so I don't mind it, but it is a unique choice for such a stylish man. I love it. Thank you. Those are days that I'm just with you. I know that you're- No. No, no. It's just days that you're with me. of you or like interview you're wearing the nike dress just for the last six years but it's wild so wait did you think i have good style or no yeah are you looking at me you're looking at benny oh my god do you benny can you see can anyone see i can see you check i'm looking at you not right now globally you don't have to look at me just what's your instinct good style or no i think you always have poor shoe choice for your outfit like you always have like chuck you always dress like like your shoes are like a man who has like plantar fasciitis they look like he doesn't care but he cares i do like you're like laissez-faire like attitude with style i do i do appreciate how like it's not stylish yeah but it's like so not stylish that it's stylish what do you think about mochi lee is she stylish i love her style well right now i'm kind of on a i love that hoodie yeah you are very stylish you've been 70s yeah yeah i think because um it's just because it's him no honestly what's happened is i got overwhelmed with the thought of having to pick you got a little overwhelmed with god damn what all the times i was going to have to pick out clothes for this vignette yeah segment segment no i like vignette podcast absolutely so i thought who cares i'll just wear t-shirts i think you look great in a t-shirt but i'm talking your hoodie is so good what

Oh yeah. It did? Yeah. If you hadn't booked that home on Airbnb's platform that day, you wouldn't have given me that ride home. We wouldn't have connected maybe at the length. I think we would have connected anyways, but thank you. It was a gift. Airbnb connected us because I got to give you the ride home and I got to spend extra time with you and I got to know you. We respect you. We love you Airbnb. We love Airbnb and we love you. You know, we're not the only multimedia experience. Oh yeah. We are kind of, but. No. Canva. Yeah.

If you were using Canva, you could probably just say it however you want to say it and it would get it. Because it's word, you prompt it with the words. Yeah, it can kind of understand whatever prompt you give it. I think it does a lot of different things. I think if you're like, "Hey, help me make this video," it can do it. Yeah. "Make this poster for me." I mean, that's just. That is cool that you can like use. There's so many more like creative platforms to use. I can't believe it. Canva. What's that mean?

If, for example, one day you said to me like, "You know, I'd really like it if you started like talking dirty to me the whole time we have sex." Yeah, you don't like that. I would be. And you meant it. I would be just rocked and I would not know how to move forward. I'd have to immediately probably go to therapy to have any understanding of how to approach this. Because when you say that, I can't necessarily. Like me saying back like that makes me uncomfortable. It's such a turn-off when they're just saying, "To turn me on requires this aggressiveness." Yeah. Yeah, I see what you're saying. You get in your head about it. Like what if she was just like, "The only way I'm gonna be happy is if we like had sex like twice a day." Well, that's different. That's different than talking dirty. Oh, so that one, you're not afraid of that complication? So it's just talking dirty? It's not just talking dirty. It's just becoming. Sexually unaligned. Oh yeah, that's a good fear. We're so sexually aligned in every way. Like literally, I'm not exaggerating. Every single time that we have sex, it feels like. The other night, the last time we had sex, I said I felt like that was the best time we ever had sex. And so only recently did I personally just have the best sex of my life. Do you think about that? Yeah. Do you feel the same way? Yeah. You do? One hundred percent. Cool. Yeah, it's pretty chill at our house. It's so nice. That's cool. You know, you should just like, one day, just like fuck with them. Just throw some- No. Just be like, actually like- I just see you as first woman. What is it? Eve? But not even. Not even? Not even. Oh, wow. You just bring out an animal in me. Cool. You're the one who asked. Tell us about you and Selena's sex life. I'm not allowed to talk about that publicly. Oh, wow. She made you sign one? No. I'm just like a gentleman. Kind of just like a thing I do. I'm like a gentleman or something. I don't know. Don't worry. Open up your explore page real quick. Guys, this is how you know it's real and we're really just living inside a vignette. Reggie Neis. Our dog. of two years. I can't believe he's making his debut. He just arrived. Are you excited? Oh my god. Hi. How was he? He was so good. Such a good boy. What's happening? Thank you so much. I'll see you tomorrow. Thank you. Big boy. Hey Reggie. Reggie? Where's Reggie? Reggie, why don't you come over here, dog? Yeah! He is! Hey Reggie. Wow. I mean, he's, I mean, there's a lot going on here. He's like, he's a smart dog. He's figuring. There's nothing going on. What's he doing? Sipping water? Yeah, his food's over there. Why don't you shut that door so he can't get back outside? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good call. Well, anyway, one of Dave's biggest fears is Reggie dying in front of him. Reggie, why don't you come over here and speak on this? Oh, wow. The bone dog, Reggie Neas. Oh, hey Neas. Chuck, can you believe Reggie? You alive over there? It's like I'm hanging. I'm having gas issues. I'm like, hey, fart. Do you think it was the marshmallows? I've been holding them in. Do you think it was when you stuck 87 marshmallows? No, I just don't want to fart all over the camera. Like, I don't want to fart, like, so much. So much? You're worried? I farted so many times. I farted on camera earlier. So you're just going to hold them in? Yeah, I don't believe it. You strike me as the kind of guy who, if there is a good fart to have, you would attempt it. I don't want to do that. Can I tell you my theory? What? You're scared you're going to shit your pants because you've had shit in your ass all day. Am I right? Should we just be silent for a little? Yeah. Okay. Reggie is like, the lack of attention he's paid us is shocking. Okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. Reggie. Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. I mean, people probably like a little silence. Okay, okay, let's try to be silent. It's not good. It's not good. It's not good.
