Working Interferences Dental Podcast

Episode 16: Peaches for Free

The Working Interferences are BACK!  Again, the Queen of podcasts Erin Elliot DDS joins Josh and Lance to tackle THREE Reddit! questions! But first: who is the king of Prussia? Do you KNOW how many times you have dropped the "F-bomb"?

Question 1: Paul Rudd asks about ants swarming his retainer.  How to YOU clean your disease infested oral appliances? 

Question 2: SouthOfTheRiver asks for a name for their new dental mascot.  Do YOU have a mascot?

And finally, question 3.  MojoWallace is questioning paying $180 for a rinse dripped onto their gums.  Was it spunk?

Episode 15: The Dental Oscars

It’s Oscar night and the Working Interferences are all dressed up to award the best performance by an actor playing a dentist and best film featuring a dentist. You might be surprised at the winners!

 

Onto the advice this week! Are you cool with your team members “calling out sick” to go to a concert? What about if they forge a note from you for their friends? A sticky situation ensues, yet Josh and Lance are busy trying to figure out what concert it was.

 

The next question get a little clinical as we discuss the proper way to dispense bonding agent. A homework assignment ensues.

 

Finally on to our Reddit question which involves something that gets Josh so worked up, he starts yelling. You’ll have to tune in to find out why!!!

Episode 14: Peanut Butter and Meth Sandwiches

The Working Interferences return, post Chicago Midwinter meeting hubbub. Josh shares his interaction with a Heisman trophy winner and Lance refuses to do a reverse crown prep as a sign of solidarity.

The first question is about CE, and if AGD fellowship is just a racket.  What isn't....

The second question is about scrap gold and ownership of the crown after it is removed.  Is the clandestine pocketing of scrap metal by an associate a fire-able offense?  Our answer may surprise you.

And finally, the reddit! question of the week: Is peanut butter the main reason for tooth loss in America?

The outro song is from Richard Cheese, covering Nine Inch Nails' song "Closer".  Enjoy.

Episode 13: Some Real Cloak and Dagger Stuff

Josh opens this weeks podcast with a new segment, actually a podcast within a podcast called Josh Complains About Commercials. This time, Josh complains about a commercial for Peyronie’s Disease, which has to do with your penis taking a sharp dog leg. Kinky stuff.

Our questions this week are solid as ever! Starting with a dentist who is considering going incognito to check out a local DSO. Josh and Lance talk about possible disguise and alias options.

Question 2 comes from a dentist looking for some verbiage to go in a letter to send to patients with missed appointments. Josh and Lance BOTH have ideas on this one.

Finally, we wrap up with a Reddit from Lois Griffin about autotransplantation. The internet is a weird, wonderful place.

Episode 12: Busted by Palatal Petechiae

It’s a Winter Olympics wonderland as the Working Interferences reconvene for their weekly pow-wow.

The first question this week comes from Aaron, who is somewhat dejected from not closing a few cases. Josh and Lance come up with some solutions to increase his case acceptance rate.

Then the WI Boyz cover the topic of maternity leave and temps but there is some confusion as to what the question actually is. Once again, we learn that Lance is a “heartless bastard.”

Our Reddit question this week comes from the world’s worst super hero… Very Neurotic Dry Socket Man. Upon answering his question, the Working Interferences happen upon an incidental finding that leads us to believe that Very Neurotic Dry Socket Man enjoys the company of other men.

Episode 11: Happiness?

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?

Episode 10: Broken Moral with AACD Queen #Girlboss Tara Hardin DDS

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.  

Episode 9: Dental Feats of Strength

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!

Episode 8: Quittin’ Time

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.

Episode 7: Lance Hates Tardiness

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.
