What is said
The parts of the video and what is said in each (★ — how much it matters to the video).
00:00:00 — At Duane Reade looking for the wax (with the hair brushes); about to wax his chin; microwaving the wax
- ★★ At Duane Reade John looks for wax, finding it not with the makeup or soap but with the hair brushes, and tells Hank he is about to wax his chin. (playful) — 00:00:10
00:00:39 — First waxing attempt: fear, the pull, the wax won't come off, bleeding
- ★★ After microwaving the wax and washing his face, John says he is really worried because Hank made it out to be so horrible. (playful) — 00:00:39
- ★★★ On the first attempt the wax will not come off although John pulls hard, and he bleeds. (playful) — 00:01:18
00:01:47 — Second attempt out of belief in Brotherhood 2.0; harder once you know the pain
- ★★ Because he is a hard worker and believes in the project and in Brotherhood 2.0, John tries once more, but will stop if he bleeds again. (playful) — 00:01:47 · Brotherhood 2.0
- ★ John says waxing is much harder once you know how much it will hurt. (playful) — 00:01:47
00:02:15 — Bleeding again, John switches punishments: watching mint chocolate chip ice cream melt while eating low-point popcorn
- ★★★ Bleeding again, John tells Hank they will have to switch punishments because this one makes him bleed. (playful) — 00:02:15 · Punishment
- ★★★ For the alternative punishment John watches mint chocolate chip ice cream melt while eating what he calls his crappy popcorn. (playful) — 00:02:15 · Punishment
- ★ John says his 94% fat-free popcorn is only two Weight Watchers points for the whole bag, the mint chocolate chip ice cream 13 points. (playful) — 00:02:15
00:03:08 — Thanks for the alternative punishment; sign-off
- ★★ John thanks Hank for giving him an alternative punishment. (playful) — 00:03:08 · Punishment
