IT IS EXCITING AND WE LIKE TO PREY ON PEOPLE’S FEARS BECAUSE IT IS HALLOWEEN.
WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST FEAR?
>> BUGS, DON’T LIKE ROACHES.
>> THAT IS GREAT NEWS FOR ME PERSONALLY.
I AM CERTAINLY OF -- AFRAID OF CERTAIN BUGS.
WHEN WE ARE WATCHING A HORMONE BE, GO TO A HAUNTED HOUSE, WE LIKE TO PREY ON THESE FEARS.
PEOPLE THROW FAKE STUFF AT YOU -- IT IS NOT ACTUALLY SCARY.
IF THERE WAS A LYING IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD PROBABLY HAVE A DIFFERENT -- >> YOU WOULD REACT.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
I HAVE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES TO PARTICIPATE IN PIT I WILL REWARD YOU WITH A RUBBER DUCK FOR EACH OF THE ACTIVITIES AND IF WE COLLECT ALL THREE WE CAN HAVE A SNACK FOR A
CELEBRATION AND >> ALWAYS UP FOR A SNACK.
>> THE FIRST WE WILL DO IS THE B EE REALLY SPEWED I HAVE THE CONTAINER FULL, AND RIGHT NOW THEY ARE CASH BEE -- BEE RELEASE.
RIGHT NOW THEY ARE SLEEPING.
DON’T MOVE TOO QUICKLY.
MOVE NICE AND SLOW.
I DON’T WANT TO PUT YOU IN DANGER SO I HAVE SOME BEEKEEPER GLOVES.
STAY NICE AND SAFE.
IN BOTH HANDS?
>> IT IS UP TO YOU.
HOWEVER MANY HANDS YOU WANT TO PUT IN THERE.
>> I WILL STICK WITH ONE HAND.
DO I JUST LEFT THAT?
>> YOU HAVE TO DO IT FOR GOOD, BUT CONFIDENTLY.
YOU DON’T WANT TO AGITATE THE BEES.
3, 2, 1, RELEASE THE BEES.
I THOUGHT YOU UNDERSTOOD IT WAS THE LETTER B’S I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
THE NEXT THING WE’RE GOING TO DO IS THE TERROR BOX CHALLENGE.
I WANT YOU TO REACH INSIDE THIS ONCE I REVEAL IT PRETTY WILL LOOK AROUND FOR A KEY, UNLOCK THE BOX, REACH INSIDE THE SPIDER BOX AND FIND A RUBBER DUCK.
YOU WANT TO DO THIS QUICKLY AND CONFIDENTLY.
3, 2, 1 -- GO FOR IT.
YOU WILL REACH AROUND FOR THE KEY.
IT IS IN THERE SOMEWHERE.
>> I HEAR IT.
>> IT IS IN THERE SOMEWHERE.
I WANT YOU TO PUT THIS BLINDFOLD ON FOR ME, TOO.
>> THE GLOVE MAKES IT HARD.
>> CAN YOU PUT THIS BLINDFOLD ON?
>> CAN I TAKE THIS OFF?
>> YOU CAN COME UNLESS YOU WANT IT FOR ATTENTION FROM THE SPIDERS AND THAT IS UP TO YOU.
AWESOME.
REACH IN THERE.
TURN THE KEY AROUND.
YOU CAN USE YOUR EYES TO ACTUALLY UNLOCK THE KEY.
YOU ARE NAILING IT.

MICHELLE: THAT IS HORRIFYING.
MATT: ALL THREE DUCKS -- YOU DID SO WELL.
MICHELLE: A COUPLE THINGS I WANT TO POINT OUT -- THE ROACH, I DID NOT KNOW THAT WAS REAL.
EVERY THING HAD BEEN FAKE.
WHEN I AM REALLY SCARED, MY VOICE GOES UP A THOUSAND OCTAVES.
I START SCREAMING UNCONTROLLABLY.
FUN FACT, THAT LITTLE SKELETON YOU SAW IN THE BACKROOM, I WALKED UP AND WAS LIKE YOU COME HERE OFTEN, AND THE GUY WAS LIKE, THAT IS A REAL SKELETON.
MATT: SOME OF IT IS REAL.
I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY YOU WENT INTO THE JAR EVEN THOUGH YOU DID NOT KNOW THAT THESE WERE FAKE.
MICHELLE: WHEN I FELT -- WHEN I HAVE THE GLOVE ON I FELT OK, BUT THE SPIDERWEBS GROSSED ME OUT.
THEY ARE GREAT OVER THERE, AND HE WAS SO MUCH FUN TO HANG OUT WITH.
