Does swearing make pain better?

Our test dummies take on two painful challenges: a spicy noodle taste test and a cold plunge. We measure their tolerence to pain in timed trials, one where they can swear and one where they can't. Danni and Krystyna join in on the spicy challenge and let us know how pain signals travel through our bodies and investigate why it feels so good to swear.
