This week, Ben tries to understand why people are afraid of the ocean since the likelihood of being attacked by a shark is super low, and why you should really be afraid of lakes. He also tells the story of how he miraculously became a certified lifeguard, yet still managed to nearly drown in some out of control waves off the coast of Mexico.
