- Fear of cotton balls?
(group laughing)
(playful music)
I'm Crystal.
- No.
- Oh.
Do I have to experience it?
What if I have one of the phobias?!
- Oh, shit.
Oh man.
They look fearless.
Hi! - [Group] Hi.
- Raaah! (group laughing)
- Wait, this is it?
- Fear of ladders?
Okay, this'll be fun.
We'll play a little game.
Go under the ladder, and have some, do some dance.
Oh, yeah!
- Oh, shit!
Ya'll didn't see that. - Wait, is it you?
What?
I'm so confused now.
Is it fear of heights?
This is sturdy, right?
Yeah this is pretty sturdy.
You first.
Go up the ladder.
Don't worry, I'll hold it.
You're kinda scared, are you scared of heights?
(group laughing)
It's you.
You're scared of heights.
- Yeah.
- Should I move this?
- I'm not afraid of the ladder.
- [Crystal] You're not afraid of the ladder,
you're just afraid of heights.
- Usually I could probably make it past the second one,
but I think all morning I have been so nervous
to get on a ladder.
Usually I will just freeze, actually.
- Awww.
- I'm holding a rabbit.
Oh, I'm sorry!
It's okay.
I'm sorry.
- Of rabbits?
So I'm going to have them pet it,
and then kiss it on its nose.
I just want you to pet, pet the rabbit,
- Ohh.
- Oh, see?
That was good sign, she was like ohh.
Okay, everyone seems fine.
I feel nervous energy right here.
Okay, you want to try?
You,
you're scared!
She's stepping back from the line.
Like that's how scared she is.
I think it's you.
What's your name? - Sarah.
- Sarah, come out.
How are you feeling?
- Um, ehhh (laughs).
- Why do you hate fluffy and cute things?
Who hurt you?
(group laughing)
Do you want me to give the bunny back to the rightful owner?
- Yeah, that'd be awesome.
When I was seven, I was playing with a rabbit,
it was my first experience with a rabbit,
and then it started humping my arm.
And then, when I was in high school,
my friend had a rabbit and I was just petting it and stuff,
and he kept getting up on his hind legs
and cocking his head to the side and just staring at me.
- [Crystal] Oh weird.
- And following me around doing that.
- [Crystal] Okay. - And that was it.
- The bunnies seem like they have
some kind of thing against you.
- They do.
- Yeah, but don't let it get to you, YOLO.
- I feel like it's too late for that.
(group laughing)
- I'm holding a spider.
- Has a fear of spiders.
(hitting tube)
Sorry.
Oh, he got scared again.
How many people are scared of spiders?
Wow, like to even touch it?
Like on the tube?
- I can touch the tube. - I can touch that.
- What's your name?
- I'm Joe Neal.
- Joe Neal, come on up!
You have a fear of spiders, yes?
Why does, so you won't even, you won't go closer?
- No, I'm good.
- What if it was on the outside?
- I don't care.
- No?
What if I blocked it?
- I don't care.
(laughing)
- This is a safe distance for you.
Okay, I'll get rid of it so we can have a conversation.
Wait, it wouldn't come out.
Let me try again.
- Don't please.
Watcha doin?!
- Look.
- [Group] Oh! Ew.
- Put it back, yo.
- Okay I don't have anything now.
- Alright.
- Are you still scared, cause--
- No, I'm good now.
As long as you got no webs, you good.

- Alright, so I came from a tropical island, right?
- Wait, where are you from?
- Guam.
- Oh, nice.
- Trying to get some fruits. - Yeah.
- Grabbed the fruit.
- Mm-hmm.
- And, one of those little family of spiders,
fell on my head.
- How many?
- A lot.
- Like a hundred? - Was all over my body.
(gasps)
I passed out.
- Oh no.
- I couldn't watch the first Spider-Man movie.
- Really?!

(honking and thumping)
- So creepy!
Oh my gosh.
(group laughing)
Just, don't do anything.
Fear of clowns.
- Yeah, they just normally look murdery.
Like it's just a murdery outfit, murdery face.
Honk the horn and honk the nose.
(honking)
I'm not really sure if this is actually getting to the,
do you feel nervous?
- A little bit, yeah.
- Oh, you're not scared.
You're a confident amp.
You gotta honk the,
and the nose.
Okay, you're a little scared.
Wait, would you put?
- No. - Oh ho oh! (laughs)
No, if you were in the middle,

(laughing)
I think it's you because you pulled away, aggressively.
Do you want the clown to go away now?
- Yes.
(clomping and honking)
- Okay.
- I'm mostly scared of clowns because of It.
- Ooh, you watched that movie.
See girl, that was your first mistake.
- Yes.
What was your physical reaction to the clown being here?
- My heart's beating so fast.
I cannot, I just can't.
- So if you see a clown on the street, what would you do?
- Throw my hands.
(laughing)
(retching)
- Ohhhhhhhh!
Oh, that, there's something real in there?!
Are you okay?
Well you should go home.
Just leave the bucket.
Oh, that's so fucking disgusting.
It kind of smells.
Everyone seems fine.
Will they look at it, and I'll count to three.
One, two, three. (laughing)
Okay, you're fine.
See, she did better than me.
Okay, come on up.
One, two, three.
Okay, you're fine.
You're fine too.
I feel like everyone's gonna be okay.
Okay, look at it.
- Oh. - One, two, three.
Okay, you had a very negative reaction.
You really didn't hold it for three seconds.
What's your name?
- Drew.
- Drew, Drew come on up.
I'm gonna make you hold it.
See?
Look, she hates holding it.
Literally, I feel like she's gonna cry.
- I'm shaking right now.
- Are you okay?
Okay, I'll take it from you.
- Okay, thank you.
- Should I put this away,
cause it's gross? - Yeah.
- Okay, that's disgusting.
Your fear is fear of throw up.
- Yeah.
Just seeing it, or like--
- Anything to do with it, I can't.
- Why?
- One time, we were driving back home
from a 21st birthday party,
- Uh-huh.
- And someone in the front seat puked,
and it got on the window, on the dash board,
we had to pull over.
And them puking caused other people in the car
to start puking.
- Oh my god, so you got a puke fest?
- I was stuck in the back seat of the car, crying,
on the phone with my mom, asking her to come pick me up.
- Oh my god.
- [Drew] Yeah.
- I'm sorry, that happened to you.
Okay.
Hmm.
Fear of apples is weird.
Why are you scared of apples?
Here's an apple.
I'm gonna give everybody an apple.
Okay.
Everyone just take a big bite of the apple.
Okay.
- Yeah, just keep chewing.
Okay.
Alright.
Oh yeah, you guys are good.
I think it's you,
because you're the most reluctant to eat the apple.
- Do you have a fear of apples?
- Not of apples, I have a fear of my teeth falling out.
- Because you're eating the apple?
- Not only apples in particular,
just anything that I pretty much bite into.
- So what do you eat?
- Oh I eat pretty much everything,
but I have to take portions out with my fingers,
and kinda eat it like that.
- Like if you're on a deserted island,
and you had to bite into an apple to survive,
you would do it but you would be scared?
- Yeah.
- You don't look like you have a fear of biting hard things.
- Thank you.
- Uh,
balls.
Fear of cotton balls?
Fear of cotton, you're not gonna tell me.
(laughing)
So it's you.
Sorry, your name?
- Sophia.
- Sophia, Sophia come on up.
Does me caressing the balls make you uneasy?
- A little bit, yeah.
- They're separated.
- Yeah, that's a little, um,
- Worse?
- Fuck. (laughs)
- So it's a fear of cotton balls, or cotton, or?
- Um,
- Balls, or?
- Cotton in general, but balls are the worst for me.
Because it's like the purest form of cotton.
- Why do you have a fear of cotton?
- So I don't really know.
I've had it ever since I was a kid.
When I touch it, it makes my teeth hurt.
- What?!
- Yeah, when I touch it with my hands,
it makes my teeth hurt.
- I mean, not to say that's fascinating,
but that's, that's crazy.
A lot of things in the world are cotton.
- It never fails.
I know when cotton is in something.
If it's like a good amount, cause it's,
- Ohh.
- I don't know why, it makes my teeth hurt.
- Wow. - Yeah.
- It was fun!
I had a good time.
But obviously no one else.
How was it?
Did you guys have fun?
- [Participant] Yeah, it was good.
- No one had fun. (group laughing)
(clapping)
Yay!
