SJF_Penguin2 picked Some trivial event from his past, like how he ruined that possum girl's ice cream:
Note that voting on this pick will close on September 3, one day before "Badger Pride" is scheduled to air, so that the episode's plot won't affect the votes.

My feeling is that the true reason behind Private's taxideaophobia is either at one extreme or the other. That is, it's either because of something relatively minor (which is the one I'm picking) or it is because of something severe and entirely legitimate (like having almost been eaten by a badger). Since Private retired from the mini golf circuit after having merely ruined a young possum's ice cream cone, his fear of badgers may very well be because of something just as trivial.

We will soon see. I do hope that the reason for Private's fear will be mentioned on the episode as opposed to just getting straight into trying to cure it; you can't really address a problem until you know and address its cause. Also, for the record, "taxideaophobia" isn't a real condition (so far as I know) -- I just made it up from the scientific name of the American badger (Taxidea taxus).

When I was younger, my Grandma read me "Peter and the Wolf" and I have been scared of wolves ever since.

@SJF_Penguin2, in theory, you're right. But they've already played that card only two episodes ago. they're not in a hurry to do it again.
