Transcript

And please explain to me what you mean by marriage is hard. I'm not married, but my girlfriend's allergic to shrimp and at least once a month we'll be at a restaurant and she'll order three shrimp tacos and the waiter looks at her and goes, do you have any allergies? And she looks at the waiter and says, nope. And then she eats the tacos and then she breaks out in hives and then she takes Benadryl and she's like, I can't believe I'm breaking out in hives. And I'm like, you're allergic to shrimp.
