Humans are born with two natural fears: the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. These fears are innate and present from birth, unlike fears that are learned through experience such as fear of snakes, spiders, or being alone. The fear of loud noises is demonstrated through infants crying when exposed to loud sounds like fireworks or thunder, showing this is an instinctive response rather than a learned behavior.

Added:Wake up WITH A BANG.
I nearly had a club on 947. [music] >> So apparently you, yes you, I'm talking to you.
You were born with two natural fears.
The fear of falling.
>> Okay.
>> And then there's another natural fear [music] and this is what I want you to figure out this morning.
>> as you're sitting in your car or at at your house, what are you afraid of right now? What's your biggest fear?
>> If you at the gym and you're on a treadmill you'd understand the first fear. The fear of falling.
>> yeah. Yeah, makes sense.
Or actually just just living life. You understand [laughter] it. Yesterday I walked down steps and I nearly slipped and I you mean that fear kicks in, right?
>> I mean Frankie, you know falling is my favorite pastime.
>> [laughter] >> I I could be sitting on a chair and just fall off.
>> You you fell like two days ago. What did you do? Where were you? I can't remember.
>> We were on the Master set and then you guys were talking through through through through my comms and then you said I must you were sending me to run up to the detectives and I was running up to the detectives my a cord got stuck on the railing and it held me back and then I tripped on three steps and came back down two steps.
>> I was sitting in the control room and I went I nearly can we do what what what?
And I just hear >> And she she [laughter] is the queen of spectacular falls.
And then I WENT >> [laughter] >> SORRY GUYS, I FELL.
>> DID YOU DO WHAT I DID last fall last month where you look around to see if anyone else had noticed and you get up very quickly.
>> And that's the whole point and you carry on. So that's the first fear. Fear of falling. Cindy's also got a terrible fear of falling cuz she's got a theory.
If you are around the >> No, no, no, no, I don't think we should share it.
>> Okay, fine.
She just knows that if you're on the other side of a certain age and you fall >> [laughter] >> I have like I have like I'm a gatti.
[laughter] I'm a gatti. I have a fear of the dark.
>> Oh, yeah.
>> Like and I'm not talking about oh guys all the lights in my house are off cuz if you live in Joburg and the lights are off the city's so bright it's fine, right? I'm talking about when you go like away and it's deathly dark like you cannot see your hand in front of can't like I start hyperventilating.
It's terrible.
>> You would have the wildest time in rural Eastern Cape cuz you know that place where there's absolutely no light. It's just you and a cow.
>> Yeah, no. No.
>> And and like a random generator that you can hear like 0118838947 what do you think the other natural fear that you're born with is? The one of them is fear of falling. I thought it was the fear of getting burnt or something hot apparently that's not it.
>> Yeah, that that makes sense cuz it feels like that's an immediate thing, right?
>> Right.
>> I I was going to guess maybe isn't it not the fear of some kind of an animal?
>> Snakes.
>> Yeah, like spiders cuz I feel like if you you get born with that [music] almost.
>> No, apparently you picked that up along the way.
>> Oh.
>> Yeah.
>> 0840000947 if you're sending us a voice note send it there. If you are calling us to guess or nail it I don't know. Do something.
You are born with two natural fears. One of them is the fear of falling. We want you to figure out what the other one is.
So ask yourself what is your fear?
>> Yeah, what are you afraid of?
>> What are you afraid of? And also it's okay to be afraid of being broke, hey?
I'm right there in the line with you.
But apparently that's not a natural fear. That's something you pick up along the way along with your expensive taste in things which is why you're broke.
>> Along with your debt.
>> I think the other natural fear is dying.
>> I have a fear of a mouse. I promise you when there's a mouse in the house I won't go into that house unless my husband removes that mouse.
>> It's the fear of the dark or the fear of something in the dark.
>> I would say it's the fear of drowning.
>> Oh, that's a good one.
>> Also the fear of being buried alive. Oh.
>> No, I feel like I mean you you surely you don't get born with that.
>> A dog you find it along the way.
>> that in a movie.
>> Okay, so not the fear of driving next to big trucks.
>> No, also found in a movie.
Final destination.
>> Jill you in Springs, good morning.
>> Good morning.
>> How are you darling?
>> I'm very well, thank you.
>> We're great.
You cold?
>> Mhm.
>> Go put some socks on.
>> [laughter] >> Good idea, I'll do that.
>> Come on. Okay, two natural fears. One of them is the fear of falling. What do you think the other one is?
>> I think it's the fear of separation.
>> Mhm, no girl let it go let it go.
>> being alone.
>> No, I think you you you start off your existence or your perceived existence as part of something else and then after 9 months you're suddenly a separate entity. And I'm I'm pretty sure that's like an inbred thing. It must must remain with you.
>> So the fear of being separated from your pack like in like if you're an animal like in the wild.
>> Yes, from your mother from your pack from your security blanket.
>> Oh, this is an interesting take Jill.
You are one very smart woman.
>> Oh, thank you very much. I'll take that through the day.
>> You're amazing at dinner parties. You're the type of person who just want to listen to all the time. What else can you tell us Jill just in general not even about this conversation we having.
>> Yeah, generally I feel I feel being separated.
>> Okay.

>> It was warming up to the cold front.
>> Shivers. [laughter] My word. Tasha, talk to us. Two natural fears. Is it the fear of being cold?
>> No. I think it's suffocating.
>> Wow.
>> Yeah, but I see Tasha, I agree with you because the same thing with drowning, right? Same story cuz it's suffocation.
You it's a natural instinct to fight it.
Yeah?
>> Yes. I watched my my granddaughter is a month old.
>> Yeah.
>> And the other evening she pulled the blanket over her, you know, her head.
>> Strong bond.
>> And all of a sudden she started fighting and screaming. And they just seems to me it's suffocation.
>> I don't want to suffocate.
>> Okay. No, I You are We hear you, but you you're wrong in this instance.
>> Okay.
>> [laughter] >> Now go be warm. Take a shower, a hot one.
>> I'm at work already.
>> Do you have one one those little heaters that you put by your feet.
>> No, I'm not allowed to.
>> Ah, why are you not allowed to?
>> Cuz they're actually a hazard.
>> Oh, really?
>> Yeah, in the city I work in.
>> Yeah, those things are Imagine if everyone brought a little heater to put at their feet. Those things trip your electricity at home. Imagine what's going to happen at work.
>> In the city of the network.
>> This is probably weird, but I have a terrible fear of numbers. Not money, but numbers.
>> Oh, the other fear is your own shadow.
>> I think the second fear is the fear of the unknown or the fear of not knowing.
>> My two fears are being watched and I have also a fear of snakes.
>> I think my fear is height.
>> Hi Auntie Anele and the club. My biggest fear is South Africa losing to today.
>> No.
>> We feel you. All of us. That is our collective fear. Someone just messaged me on Instagram in the DMs. My biggest fear is getting buzzed out on Anele and the club.
Have that.
Have that.
But you are wrong. That is not the other natural fear. Khathide and Brackman, good morning.
>> Morning Anele and the club. How are you?
>> Morning. Good, Khathide. How are you?
>> Good. Good. Uh I think we do have it.
Um Can I give you the guess?
>> Yeah, please.
>> Talk to us. We are We are all ears.
>> The fear of loud noises.
>> How did you get to that answer?
>> Cuz my my son brought up to me whenever my wife played loud music, he would cry and so so today with fireworks or thunder.
He so freaked out.
>> Oh, there we go. You see now, that was uncalled for.
>> [laughter] >> Thank you, Vin.
That was uncalled for. We just both jumped in studio. What's wrong with you?
Is he right though, Anele?
>> Yeah, he is right.
>> He's right, eh?
>> I hate the people I work with. Honestly, like it's just not on. Because the entire time I was doubting the stats, right?
>> Right. You were like, "No, it can't be.
It can't be."
>> No, no. It's It's correct. The second natural fear that all humans have is the fear of loud noises. So, there we go.
Khut, you and your daughter, you absolutely correct.
>> Brilliant.
I'm I'm As we're speaking, I'm literally so scared he's going to do that again.
They're going to play that sound again.
>> myself.
>> Yeah, please don't. You're not going to play it again, are you sure?
>> Okay.
>> We don't trust you. This is We don't trust the people we work with.
>> [laughter] >> Is it too late to get another team? This is just not on.
And I hate that they got that on camera.
>> [laughter] >> I know for a fact in the next 5 minutes that's going to be on social media.
But I suppose that's when you know when you scare someone, you don't just scare them without a sound.
>> got to warn them.
>> You know what I mean?
>> You clap hands. Don't clap hands.
>> something and I suppose you're right.
