Oopsie, I almost fell into that flowing river of molten rock and boiled all my skin and bones and stuff. This week on boys, Jeremy breaks down which holiday is truly the worst for single folk (He does math, so be warned). Then John talks about all the cool ways lava will destroy the human body, and there are quite a few. My favorite is asphyxiation.  

Got a question that needs answers? Email the boys at [email protected]
