Listener Special: Luke

You know how at the end of every show we ask you what scares you? Well you've told us. And today we're sharing one of your ten things.

Number one. My penis coming out of my fly zipper, if that makes sense. It happened when I was a kid sledding I fell sled-down on my stomach and stood up and was like, “That was awesome!” My friends are like, “Yo, what's going on. Penis.”

Number two is losing my hand in a conveyor belt. Again, something that happened when I was like 18. I'm 36 now. I used to work for a company that had conveyor belts. My hand got caught, and I pulled it out, and cut some skin up, and the safety guy told me that most people in my scenario would have lost their hand. So yeah I've run that through my head.

Number three is being the passenger in an automobile accident involving a downhill wet road.  

Number four would be my daughter not loving me anymore. She's seven right now. I see her on weekends. I’m divorced. But yeah, just that loss of time with her would result in her just not loving me.

Number five is turning 50 and having nothing to show for it. Just very unsuccessful, and not being satisfied with where I'm at my life.

Number six would be bankruptcy. Just going financially bankrupt. I'm not a millionaire by any chance. I do okay, but just the possibility of losing everything financially.  

Number seven would be memory loss. Again, I’m 36 now. I have moments where you can tell me your name and I will immediately forget. I think to myself, this can get much worse. What is going on. I guess I’ll take my fish oil whatever I can do to help me there.

Number eight would be just feeling like the dumbest guy in the room.

Number nine mononucleosis I got mono at the age of 29, and it was an awful awful age to go through that at 29. They say you can only get it once but then I've also heard arguments that that's not true. Yeah. Scares the shit out of me.

Number ten would be being cheated on. Not that I have any fear that the woman I’m with now… but it would be an awful thing to experience.
