00:00Hello? What is your name?
00:24Um, I'm Robert Alderson.
00:28Okay, Robert Alderson. Um, what exactly is your routine for the day?
00:36Um, usually I wake up, and I'll make myself breakfast, I'll get all my work done for the day, um, and then I'll play some video games, and I'll go to bed.
00:52Okay, um, I think we should just jump right into this, uh, since the people want to know. Why is it that you never leave your home?
01:04Um, that's gonna be an answer that most people probably won't expect.
01:15Go on.
01:19I have a, an extreme, borderline crippling fear of, of, of what?
01:31Bananas.
01:34It all started a year ago. I was, uh, I was on my way to work.
01:39I was just outside my car when I stepped on something and lost my footing, and I fell, and I ended up breaking my spinal cord.
01:50I saw the banana peel on the ground. I was, I was mortified. There was something I once loved so dearly, and now it costs me so much pain.
02:06Is there a reason you're staring at that trash can so much?
02:12It's blue.
02:15And is there a significance to the blueness?
02:21It's, it's comforting. Blue is the antithesis of banana.
02:32Do you care to elaborate on that?
02:37No.
02:40Okay.
02:52Seriously? That, that's it?
02:57Yeah.
03:00You slipped on a banana peel a year ago, and you won't leave your house because of that.
03:09I think it's legitimate.
03:11That is ridiculous.
03:14It's not. It's, it's a real fear.
03:17No, man. Dude, we gotta go outside or something.
03:21No.
03:23Yeah, dude. Come on. Come on.
03:30No.
03:46It's pretty nice outside, right?
03:48Yeah.
03:50You, uh, you hungry?
03:53Yeah. Yeah, I could eat.
03:55How does a, uh, banana sound?
03:58No, no, don't help.
04:00Come on, you don't want to try it?
04:02Why are you doing this?
04:04That's showbiz, baby. Gotta give the people what they want.
