Oh, hey, it's your neighbor's dad practicing golf on the lawn, Allie Ward.
It's also the lady who's going to be on The Tonight Show on Wednesday, May 14th.
Correct.
Your podfather, your internet dad, me.
I'm taping The Tonight Show the very day this episode comes out.
And if you're here because you saw that, welcome.
I made a spider episode for you.
Sometimes on this show, we talk about bears or psychology or porcupines or rocks,
but today... it's spiders.
So thank you everyone for all of the support going into this taping tomorrow.
I'm excited and my hands are sweaty.
So first off, I'm going to say,
I know some of you are very afraid of spiders and we are gathered here today.
to change that, okay?
We can do this.
Many psychologists assert that the best cure for apprehension and phobias is what's called exposure response prevention.
So you have to fight fear with knowledge and proximity.
It works.
Listening to this, if you're afraid of spiders, will make you a stronger person.
It'll make your life easier.
