oh man, I am going to miss a good episode...wish I wasn't so squeamish...
maybe if I listen to it in eentsy beensty bites I will be able to get through the whole show without feeling like I am looking at a train wreck?
I also watch some movies with my hands in front of my eyes. I'm such a wuss.
which brings to mind another thought...why do they call radio or podcast programs "shows", when we don't watch, we listen?
Some definitions work for it. That aside, there's tons of funny sayings that make little logical sense when it comes to English. One of the reasons I don't take it seriously.
As for the show

, I don't think the person that is getting burned is a guest. If that's the case, you should be able to handle it. If it's not the case, sorry I got the wrong impression.
