So, yeah, I'm about a year behind in my listenership, but I just heard this episode and I found it really funny, so I'm going to comment on it anyway.
I really like the super-anxious, hypochondriacal main character. What an imagination! He reminded me of a character in a novel I read called Further Complications by Bryn Schurman, who had a similar anxiety-induced, overactive imagination. Come to think of it the character in that book had a druggie friend who encouraged him into uncomfortable situations too. Is this a trope? It seems like a relationship that is ripe for hilarity.
I also like that in the end, his hypochondria becomes a super-power. You think you can scare me? I've already imagined this scenario and a hundred worse scenarios! This one really tickled my funnybone, and had me laughing out loud. Good show! I can't wait to find out what else I've missed in the past year.
