Working Interferences Dental Podcast

Comin’ at ya again with another piping hot episode of Working Interferences. Josh starts the show with an old man confession about loving the Weather Channel, except the reasoning is that of a horny teenager.

A listener sent in a photo of a business she thinks is a front for a nefarious entity. Josh and Lance research and discover a much more boring explanation. Beads!!!!

A question about mouth taping during sleep apnea treatments is discussed and surprisingly only 5 sex jokes come out of it. Another listener asked about potential retirement gifts for her boss. Naturally that leads to the discovery that Mr. Belvedere might have sat on his own balls. #realtalk!

Finally, our Reddit question is a real banger. Literally. A mouth banger. Buckle up folks, and watch out for your scrotum. Episode 22 is here!

The #1 Podcast in Medicine on iTunes, Working Interferences is back!  Get your fix today!  We don't get it either, but for a brief moment, we were #1 in your hearts.

This episode is a bit on the SERIOUS side.  Josh interviews a REAL periodontist about the ethics and legality of a prophy in the presence of periodontal disease.  Did WI sell out when they went #1?  You decide.

The Reddit! this week is about personal hygiene with a knife blade in bed.  Is this what nightmares are made of? How easy is it to get a restraining order?

This week, Lance must answer for his former people’s crime of a product called Funeral Potatoes, which is the most morbid side dish ever.  Josh patches up some previous discussions about bonding agents and rappers whose name he doesn’t know how to say properly. 

Advice kicks off with an incredibly awkward social situation that makes Josh want to hide in a corner and cringe constantly.  Lance and Josh try to dance around the PC implications of this question and not enrage a portion of the population. 

Faye asked a question about how to deal with an assistant that is screwing up her stuff.  We all know what Lance’s solution would be.  Josh, as always, takes his leadership cues from Greg Popovich, the surly coach of the San Antonio Spurs. 

Reddit gives us a little gem this week about an itchy tooth.  Would Preparation H work?  What does it taste like?  Cool mint, I bet.  Flavor blasted!!!!

Time for your Working Interference fix!  Josh starts by sharing with Lance his experience lecturing to children, despite not being allowed within 200 feet of schools or Chuck E. Cheese.

Question 1 asks about employees hand washing, and whether temporary crowns taste funny after trips to Dook University.

The second question is about tooth meridians and if Josh's spleen will rupture since tooth number 1 was removed.

And finally, the Reddit! question is about the unique shape of a wisodom tooth.  What IS a mulberry? And is it a RACIST question?

A fun episode this week as Lance and Josh chat about the British Monarchy with some tremendous voice work. 

Advice starts this week with a question from listener Will who hates his assistant’s voice.  He comes up with some great suggestions himself, so the WI Guys have to scramble to find a solution to this vexing problem.  Fortunately, the day is saved when Kathleen Turner and Ellen Barkin give the boys a clue to how this should go down.

Today’s second question is one of the hypothetical nature, which means there was actually nothing hypothetical about it and someone is a dirty, dirty girl! 

Finally our Reddit! question this week involves bone grafts and DNA. What if a patient got the traits of the person whose cadaver a bone graft came from?  Just wait until Ron Jeremy dies.  Josh will end up needing bone grafts everywhere.

Dr Chris Salierno joins the Working Interferences to interfere with your wisdom.  After establishing his alibi for not being a serial killer in NY, Josh and Lance dispense more knowledge.

#1 asks about touching legs with team members during operative dentistry.  Should the dentist wear NHL goalie gear?

#2 asks about gift giving for the team from the dentist.  What is the best gift that you won't mind seeing tossed into the trash within minutes?

The Reddit! question is about blow jobs and gum grafts....  Are you seeing a trend here?

And thanks to our sponsor, Goby.  Check out the great and AFFORDABLE mechanical toothbrushes!

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?

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!!!

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.

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.
