Working Interferences Dental Podcast

What do you do when the adviser needs advice? The show starts with Josh asking for help overcoming a crappy day/week.  Drugs are not the answer (or are they?). Question 2, Dr Orin Scrivello asks how long he must give a discount to a former employee that he slept with 14 years ago.  Is it a layaway plan? The reddit question is about partying with your parents after wisdom tooth extractions.  Is there even ENOUGH malt liquor?

The Working Interferences are joined by real life cosmetic dentist, AACD accredited superstar dentist,  #Girlboss Tara Hardin this week.  She brings a sharp wit and raises the hotness quotient of the podcast infinitely.  This weeks advice starts off with a frustrated dental assistant with a blatantly racist patient and how to correct her.  Without physical violence, although we wouldn’t frown upon that and neither will you after you hear what happened.  Next up, we have a hefty problem.  Specifically a patient who weighs over 400 pounds.  Would you put them in your top of the line Sirona chair?  We aren’t sure either.  Finally, we hear a Reddit tale of a broken moral.  

The Working Interferences are back this week and start off discussing a big speaking gig Josh has coming up. Lance gives Josh some advice before the advice this week, which consists of three Reddit Questions! They start off with a simple question….How do you know if a dentist is good? After a nice discussion of dental skills competition, the Interferences answer a question about instrument transportation cases. Is leather autoclavable? To wrap the show, Lance and Josh talk about how much of their brain they use. For Lance its little. For Josh, its more of the little brain than the big brain, if you know what I mean!

Josh grills Lance about taking a patient to a hotel room. Lance has a plausible explanation but something still smells here. Question one this week is about the best time to quit and Lance reveals his penchant for just firing people on the spot. Next we discuss the Evergreen question of should dentists require employees to cover up their sweet sweet Ink. Finally our Reddit question involves cold calling dentists to buy their practices which sounds like and is a horrible idea. Josh ends the show confessing his dark Obsession with the zodiac killer while Lance frantically changes his phone number and unfriends Josh.

The Working Interferences are joined this week by Dr. Kevin Fryer of Cleveland, Ohio…yes he knows Cleveland sucks. Josh tells a story featuring a dentist who committed suicide, which always makes for a rip roaring good time. Kevin gives some publicity to his old lady’s business strategy guide (www.buckeyedentalproductions.com) which Lance and Josh both just ordered and received. Advice this week starts with a treatment coordinator who is late every day. Lance has some…ummm….strong feelings on this one. Sounds like morse code to me. Next, the guys address a loud hygienist with a lisp. “Thooth number thirty needsth thcaling and woot planing.” Our Reddit question this week addresses the issues of vaping and periodontal disease and Josh tells the crew about the inside world of vape tricks.

Josh and Lance are back, giving dentist advice like only THEY can. Question 1 was from Carissa, trying to handle being a young looking female dentist (despite being old AF).  Should there be a strategy? Question 2 asks how to handle a patient that falls in love with the doctor. Do you milk the love for the production? Question 3 comes from Reddit.  ‘nuff said…..

Finally some ladies up in this house! Erin Elliott joins the Interferences this week for a few TOUGH questions. We start off trying to figure out how Craig can fire his brain cancer ridden front desk without being a monster. Take a guess how that goes. Next, we talk about Alex’s practice purchase and how to prevent the seller from telling his team right before Christmas. We finish the show with some self-dentistry talk because a patient in Seattle complained about veneer prices. Way to go, Lance.

For the first time, the Working Interferences bring in a guest to help them give bad advice. Today, we welcome Lance’s brother Clint Timmerman.   Clint helps the guys dole out a verdict about Zach’s uber-regular super sneezer at the front desk.   Next, the guys discuss working on team members and former team members while trying to help Brad not feel so bad about hating his former assistant.   We end the show with a real doozie…a question about blowjobs and wisdom teeth. Huzzah for the internet!  

Josh opens the show by grilling Lance about a full mouth case on the worst kind of tourist…a dental tourist. The advice this week centers around what would be the best drug for your dental team members to be addicted to. A question about endodontic irrigation leads to a stunning accusation by Josh against the President of the United States. Finally, the Interferences talk about oral sex with dentures.

Josh jumps on the pod right in the middle of a Stranger Things 2 binge and the boys discuss how big of a boner the Cleidocrainial Dysplasia Foundation must have over it’s success. Advice goes off the rails again about a discussion of failure rates in dental practice advertising and Josh does some investigative journalism on a dentist making outlandish claims. Lance chimes in with his thoughts on hiring a dental school flunkie as an assistant and we close the show chatting about a pre-dental student who isn’t exactly a social butterfly in her shadowing visits at her local dentist’s office.

Lance and Josh start the show and the pod with some introductions and a little how-do-you-do. This being the advice show that it is, they jump head first into a staff member asking about managing her bosses colonic impulses. After a lively discussion about going #2 before prepping #2, Lance and Josh answer a question about A/R and how to thrive in mediocrity. To end the show, the guys discuss patient’s facial hair and Lance’s swarthy face patch
