The Halloween festivities continue this week with another spooOOoky question. This week the boys discuss why some people don't like the sensation of fear, while others are complete weirdos who want to experience the brain chemical cocktail that happens when being chased by a ghoul or a goblin. Idk what a ghoul is for sure, but I know its different than a gabagool- which is an Italian meat.
Got a question that needs answers? Email the boys at BoysOnTheCase@gmail.com
