taste buds or something how how did you

01:58

do that I have never seen you eat spicy

02:00

food I don't eat spicy food that's I you

02:04

or Tapo on stuff I've I've had so many

02:07

meals with you and I've never seen you

02:09

eat spicy food I have a theory is that

02:11

the only thing worse than that amount of

02:14

thermal spice would be you not somehow

02:17

getting the attention that eating all of

02:19

that would give you yes and all joking

redhaired Jean which is um there's a

02:30

you know when I go to the dentist and

02:32

they give me Nova cane they then go to

drill and it's like I haven't had Nova

02:35

02:38

everything right now and they would and

02:39

they always say oh yeah you're a redhead

02:41

I don't know if that's but I've had many

02:43

dentists say that to me and they keep

02:46

they give me a lot more and they say the

02:47

redhe heads have uh whatever higher pain

02:50
