Summary
Donny dares Bob to eat a worm. What a nightmare! Or is it? Average Boy has to figure out how to save the day and encourage a new girl in town named Maeve. While Bob begins this episode like a Jenga tower during an earthquake—a little shaky—he ends with his feet on solid ground. You also won’t want to miss a listener from Australia who asks a question . . . and a riddle.
