Inspired by Kendrick Lamar's song titled "FEAR.", Jason and Irvin share the fears they each had throughout their lives. 

They start with the fear they had when they were children (00:27), then the fear they had as teenagers (11:30), and finally finish the conversation with the fear they each have today as adults (22:06). The boys get deep in the Season 3 Premiere so bring tissues!
