Dave goes to the dentist, comes home with a fresh set of brushing instructions, and we wonder why the rules keep changing. Then we dive into a spoiler-free review of the new documentary You Can See…
[laughs]
And, and I...
Here, here's what gets me about my most recent dentist appointment.
Overall it was fine.
Lovely people, all the things at the dentist office.
Mm-hmm.
But the way that we're told to brush our teeth, I'm like, look, I am a full adult-
[laughs]
... and my teeth are generally pretty darn clean.
That's the feedback I get there at the old dental office.
Mm-hmm.
But I do drink coffee, I do drink red wine, and when I was a kid, it was drilled into my head, no pun intended-
[laughs]
... that, that the way you brush your teeth...
You tell me if you got this too, Timmer.
The way you brush your teeth was you put the toothbrush in your mouth, and you start going in circles.
Yeah.
I knew you were going with the circles.
[laughs] I know.
I know.
I knew you knew you, 'cause we grew up at the same time.
[laughs] Mm-hmm.
This was smashed into us the same as, like, don't do drugs and all kinds of other things.
[laughs] It's right up there.
But then over a period of years, the hygienists started to change their tune, and they're like, "Now we want you to go in, like, a Z pattern and blah, blah, blah." And I'm like, "What is going on here? How could this have changed that much?"
[laughs]
