Boys on the Case

Episode 30: Dysentery's Funny Nautical Cousin

07 Jun 2021

Description

This week the boys investigate ocean madness (spooky) and the reason some songs stay in your head forever and ever and ever. By the way, don't drink salt water. We talk a lot about drinking salt water in this and so now I'm telling you to super not drink it. Tastes terrible btw, no appeal at all. I thought maybe it would deliver some extra kick, but no sir it does not. If you want water with kick just drink vodka or something.  Got a question that needs answers?
