The fellas go all in on Pain. Ground covered includes Brian’s sweaty visit to the dentist, the anticipation of pain outweighing the pain itself, the insidiousness of small talk, the brain's power to heighten pleasure and pain, the physical empathy and reactions generated by  stories of other people’s injuries, a testicle unspooled, pain's power to bring you fully into the moment, the brutality and social ostracization surrounding chronic illnesses and diseases, the inability to bite your own tongue on purpose, the importance of pain in the healing process, old people’s joy in discussing their ailments, and fantasy football for life.
