Working Interferences Dental Podcast

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the WI Crew.  Josh and Lance celebrate the season with a review of some wonderful products in the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book.  Anyone need a bluetooth speaker to listen to the show?  Have we got one for you!     Advice this week comes from three, count em, three Reddit questions.  Question 1 involves a NAUGHTY question for dentists.  I mean, its just so NAUGHTY!  You are not going to want to miss how NAUGHTY this question is.  Are you tired of hearing the word NAUGHTY?  I thought so.  NAUGHTY.  There.  Done.     Question 2 asks the eternal question…how much is it worth to you to NOT brush your teeth.     Finally, we end on a question involving a NAUGHTY dentist who cheats at golf.  Peace on Earth, good will towards all the WI fans!!!!  Enjoy the Holidays, everybody!

Josh joins Lance for more shit.  Lance's brother Clint joins for more shit....   He's his brother...  Deal.... Question 1:  When is a shitty crown TOO shitty?  If a patient swallows...? #2: What do you do when staff is poached?  Fuck ALL you all... Finally...  #3.....  Reddit...  Can you suck dick after a root canal?  Seriously... How much dick is getting sucked?    It ain't MINE....

Josh and Lance are back for another week of shenanigans.  After some high school music reminiscing, advice starts with a question from the late, great Stevie Ray Vaughn about a dental team member that don’t not speak good grammar there.  They just not ever be learned it good.  What to do?    Our next question comes from a dental student who wants to know where their money is going.  Josh and Lance have some suggestions.    Finally we end with a banger of a Reddit question that involves “oral related kinks” and the need to change underwear after a dental visit.  Wacky, wild stuff.  

WI have a new year!  Year number 2 kicks off with more hilarity.  Ok, maybe "simple frivolity"....  Whatever. Josh starts by sharing his love for webinars.  Lance GNFs..... Question 1 hearkens back to chat about vasectomy vs circumcision. Number 2 is another throwback.  Do you dismiss a patient because they won't do treatment? Reddit! is about vomit.  'nuff said.

WI are a year old!  What was your favorite episode?  What was your favorite question?

WI is down to clown, are YOU?  Josh starts by asking Lance about Thanksgiving plans only to discover that Thanksgiving sucks. Question 1 asks about medical clearance for ALL pregnant patients. Then, with Stan Lee's passing, we speculate how Wolverine's dentist must feel... and our Reddit! question may have found the REAL Wolverine....

You down to clown?  WI are back!  Josh starts with a rant on "Ads Suck", but I forget why... Question 1, Peter asks for the best way to bling a tooth with a diamond.  Staple gun is probably not an option. Second question, Zach asks for the top 5 questions to ask during an interview.  Is casting couch still a thing? Finally, reddit!  Are OTC oral appliances for sleep apnea just as good as the real thing?  You can probably guess Lance's reaction....

A very spooky post Halloween episode of Working Interferences starts out with a review of the best Starburst flavors.  News flash…lemon is the worst.  If you like Lemon Starburst, you are a serial killer.     Advice starts this week with Kyle asking about letting patients watch TV during their treatment.  Neither Josh or Lance are fans.     We move on to an unfortunate glasses scratchin’ event allegedly done by a temp hygienist.  What the hell are trifocals, anyway?  Josh breaks out his offensively stereotypical old Jewish lady voice….AGAIN.     Reddit brings us a question about learning how to put braces on.  Somehow, the boys end up on the Yelp for condoms review site.  

The WI Boyz are down to clown and so are you!  We start with some hot politics talk as Josh breaks down Beto O’Rourke’s platform.  A brief debate about Halloween candy versus Easter candy ensues, with little to no resolution.    Advice starts with a question from Ahmad that just can’t be real.  What do you do when you are just TOO sexy?  Josh and Lance have answers.    We move on to a question from Andrew about handpiece repairs.    We end the show with a Reddit about finding the best dentist who is also an HMO provider.  God speed, dear Reddit user. 

More WI! Josh opens with questions about travels to Africa and what it would take to get him to Tanzania (spoiler alert: 5 star hotels).  Lance's brother, Clint, is globetrotting, so there is a bit of envy.... First question is about RE hiring a staff member after they left for greener pastures that weren't actually greener.  Would YOU hire someone back after they stabbed you in the back? #2 is about traveling with staff for CE or fun, especially if you plan to FIRE them.... Reddit! is about bleach getting onto dental floss and the extreme damage that can result (spoiler: not much).

More WI! Lance explains why investing in staff MIGHT be a bad idea.... Josh gives some words of advice to make him step away from the ledge. Question 1: How should a hygienist handle an old and out of touch DDS with beard dandruff?  If beards have dandruff, where ELSE hairy can shed? Question 2: How important is your name?  Should you change your first name to something easy to pronounce? Reddit! this week comes from a floss hater.  Can't we use an ear wax cleaner on our gums?

WI return with MORE uncomfortable talk about genitalia.... Only two questions this week, but they are worth it.  Ever torn a frenum?  Not THAT one... #incomplete Reddit! asks about the safety of denture adhesive on VANEERS for a costume party...

In an almost post-coital glow, the Working Interferences are back to revel in the glory that was Michael Apa.    After a brief discussion of Dr. Apa’s work attire, Josh and Lance jump into advice starting with “Methed Out In Marshall.”  They wanted to know about consent and when a certain shoot from the hip dentist should get it.  Lance and Josh are on the same page…agreeing that maybe we should ask our patients if its okay to do stuff before we do it.  Just a thought.    Second question comes from listener Austin who has an assistant that shits on his treatment plans after he leaves the room.  What to do about it?  Reference 80’s and 90’s movies of course.    Our Reddit question comes from a crazed hypochondriac who thinks literally everything is going to kill her.  Don’t worry….your blood pressure will take care of that slowly over time, lady.  

Are you freaking kidding me?  We have like a real life FAMOUS dentist guest on the show today.  Dr. Michael Apa joins us to regale us of tales of treating the rich and powerful.    Advice starts this week about a patient complaining about veneers being too white.  Should he do them over again for free?  What do you think Apa says about that?    Second, we get in to anesthesia for cosmetic cases.  Who do you think might have a tip for that?  Hmmm…maybe Apa?   Reddit gets a little nuts this week with a shaky tooth boy and a yucky yucky tonsil stoned freak.  Enjoy!!!    

Are you down to clown this Sucktember?  Celebrate Lance’s greatest victory as the boys chat about the euphoria of ANOTHER Seattle Storm WNBA Championship!    Advice starts this week with a question about career alternatives outside of dentistry.  The boys try to come up with their choicest gigs and realize they’ve wasted their lives.    Second question involves around gold foils and doing them for fun.  Lance and Josh are true dental nerds and the thought of this is too nerdy for even them.    Our Reddit question this week involves some good ol’ fashioned breast rubbing by an assistant.  Yikes!!!!
