Working Interferences Dental Podcast: Recent Episodes
Lance Timmerman DMD and Holly
A dental podcast for the AVERAGE dentist. No question is too controversial for Lance Timmerman DMD and his guests. Questions are NOT ”best bonding agent” or ”best impression material.” You know, like ”can I harm my assistant for being annoying?”, or ”how much oral sex is too much after gum grafts?” or even, ”Will my DNA be altered by getting a bone graft from cadaver bone?” The information that ALL dentists need. Where we coined the term ”Bukkake Honor Circle”
OK. You still with me? Yes, it has been a while. We don't even know....
We catch up with the last year! You can fast forward. Or not.
Ever dismissed an entire family for the behavior of a single member? Dismiss the ONE? Or is it grounds to dismiss EVERYONE? Can you hate TOO many people?
Petty cash. Do you still use that? Why/why not?
Shout out to The Stanley Institute, Implant Pathways, Beever Dental Lab, Chucri Chemali, IDS, Smile Line Europe, Smile Line USA
OK. Clearly it has been a minute. Holly is sorry (Lance doesn't care).
We catch up, we talk travel, charity, and the grind of dentistry.

WI are on "location"!
"Live" from Palm Desert, we catch up. Christmas is over, we catch up. We tackle some "reddit" input and some listener mail.
Are you open between Christmas and New Years? Why or why not?
As a listener, are we considered friends?
So your hands shake when treating patients?
Every had your butthole waxed? Me neither...
Bianca rejoins the show to explain the US "tip culture". I may not be what you think...
Ok. Slightly more sober now.
We delve into Facebook groups and share advice. Issue 1: New owner buys practice and will be FFS (fee for service). Must you credential them?
Issue 2: PPO third party negotiator can't get all relevant info? What to do?
Dental influencers. Do you strain muscles patting yourself on the back? Is your pity party well attended?
Peace.
We are back for more, giving Yapi love like we do... Seriously, don't be dumb.
We traveled, but not together. Ever done a solo trip?
Advice today was for 3 anonymous posts. They really get around. First: How do you handle a parent that you have never met that brings in long time pediatric patients and makes a scene?
If you only work 2 days per week but a new patient calls after hours, who makes the call? Using a personal cell phone?
Adulting sucks. If a parent tells their kid that they now pay their dental bill, but the kid won't pay, who is responsible?
So... are you adventurous? Really? Are you SURE...?
A weekend getaway becomes more memorable than planned. Or WAS it?
Advice this week:
How do you handle patients that repeatedly no-show for their appointment?
Who do you work for? The patient, or the person signing your check?
Mondays suck. That's why we release on Wednesday. But it doesn't fix Monday....
We stayed home. No travel diary. Boring. Next episode will have some travel. Promise.
Is it MANDATORY to give time off for a funeral? Are you a heartless bastard?
Does the office have a cell phone? How do you text?
At end of day, does everyone leave together? If someone stays late, do you ALL stay late?!
All this begs the question, why did we apply to dental school?!?
Some of the best parts of travel is hearing the weirdest stuff from history. Past generations were as messed up as we are!
We made our way to Strasbourg, Luxembourg, and Cologne. Oh, yeah... for a dental meeting....
Tired of dental talk? Good, because there is NONE during THIS episode. Lance and Holly talk about their trip on the WAY to their trip to IDS. This is how NOT to travel.
Or the PERFECT way....
Back into the CE groove! Do you work IN your business or ON your business? Me neither.
We hit Vegas for a weekend to get better at growing the practice, and since we are becoming more niche, we need a different approach. And to see Wayne Newton.
Viva Las Vegas!
Ever taken CE and at the end decided "nope. NOT doing that..." Holly made that decision for Lance after their trip to Spain.
Lance took the Zaga Zygoma Implant class in Barcelona with Dr Carlos Aparicio It was a fantastic experience, and of course, an adventure was worked in as well. The trip started in Madrid, with a little tapas tasting, a cooking class, and just a general walkabout.
Then a quick train to Barcelona and the learning began! "You'll shoot your eye out!"
Until next time!
So.... we didn't forget about you. "We were on a BREAK....!"
Lance and Holly are back, and they fill y'all in on what has been going on. The why....
Lance then talks with Dr Bobbi Stanley and Dr Phil Chahine about their new podcast, The Lucrative Dentist. They will be hosting a meeting at The Fontainebleau in Miami in May, so be sure to check your schedules, and subscribe to their show. Or email Dr Bobbi at drbobbi@stanleyinstitute.com or Phil at drphil@just-smiles.com directly!
so.... how did the seattle protocol begin? Was it Holly's fault?
The show starts with a recap of Lance's bike accident. Fun.
We skip reddit and talk about subjects from Facebook groups, only to learn that all evils start with the RDH crowd....
PEACE
Ok. Summer is over. Holly is NOT happy, however, she DOES love Halloween, Thanksgiving... Have you seen Hocus Pocus 2?
Ready for more WI? Too bad....
If you start a scratch FFS practice, what does carefully planned and researched mean to YOU? It may not mean what you think it means.
If you cover for another dental office, do you do it for free? What IS the common courtesy?
PEACE!
The rant continues. If you are an employee dentist, is the patient yours or the practice's? If you left the practice, is it STILL your patient? If you don't take a CBCT of the implant you placed but it SEEMED to go well, is that a success? If the patient never returns, can we count it as a win?
So, we FINALLY have nice weather in Seattle. To have less noise while we record, the AC was turned off.
Bad idea.
Holly is grumpy without wine. She is grumpy-ER if she overheats....
So this was fun....
We are back! Back from Chicago, before we head to Whistler, we took a moment, a quick minute. Many wanted to hear HOLLY'S take on the annual list of 32 influencers from Incisal Edge magazine.
Even with fresh blood, "the song remains the same."
Peace!
Back and "well rested" from a Greek sojourn, Lance and Holly share their foreign exploits. Can CE be fun? (hell yes!)
Alex Fibishenko puts on a GREAT CE trip. Look up Dental Implant Masters.
We start with Avid Listener feedback. THANKS!
Our reddit! comes from someone with 5 years dental experience wondering if they are in the wrong profession.
Maybe.
It's been a minute. A hot minute. It's fine.
Another vent session, Holly get's bleeped again.... Prior to heading to Greece, we vent our spleen.
Enjoy....
Grape juice made us late! Life has been busy.... deal.
Reddit user says they sucked when they graduated and one year later, they still suck. Time to give up?
Peace!
We are BACK. We are in Napa, wine tasting.
Drinking....
It's classy....
Lance had a listener question that Holly shit all over, but that's fine....
Who pays for CE, the employer or the employee?
Would you stay with a job that gave you a 46% pay cut?
Are HMO's taking patients for a ride?
Do you shit talk other offices?
PEACE!
So, no, we did not forget you. It's "complicated".
After IV sedation training in San Antonio, Lance finally carved a minute to update.
The reddit! this week if from an entitled Karen getting an emergency implant on #8. We have strong words.
Peace!
Where has the time gone! SO many places... Lance and Holly catch everyone up with their globe trotting.... and spew some advice too....
Buckle up!
Welcome back! Forgive the delay.... We were joined by the Staffords, all the way from Bristol, England (mostly. Chris is a bit of a Nomad.... Glasgow.... Limerick.... All over. I mean, they are ALL basically suburbs of London, right?). We get from fresh takes from another culture. What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
Hit up our Patreon!
Our first AMA episode! Ask Me Anything was a loaded request, but worked out ok. Holly was sure to have wine in hand this time, so a bit unfiltered. Just how we like her.

Holly returns with more wit and wisdom, as only SHE can do. After she talks about her melt down watching 1883, we discuss deposits for treatment, walk ins, hypocritical lecturers/consultants and pts saying the N word. Good stuff!
Peace
See what I did there? Lance's daughter Bianca makes an appearance, venting about botox patients and how this podcast thing might save money on therapy.... (but check out Better Help for a professional....).
Peace!
Lance and Holly return from Chicago Midwinter, cold and ready for their weighted blanket! It was a lot of fun and can't wait for more. Listen to this weeks episode, where we give shout outs to GC America, the AACD, our pal J Quint Whipple with Phoenician Dental Studio, Eugene Royzengurt updates us on the Ukraine crisis, LVI, dining at Carnivale and Soho House in Chicago, Better Help for our remote therapy, Chris Stafford going to the Kois Center, The Holderness Family on the Amazing Race, and of course.... Reddit!
GC America has asked Lance to speak at Chicago Midwinter, so this episode is a quickie! Again, we encourage therapy, like that found at Better Help. Having JUST returned from Moab, UT you can actually HEAR the fatigue.
The Reddit! question is from a 22 year old that didn't brush their teeth for 4 MONTHS. How screwed are they?
NOW, for a completely different perspective: Lance and Holly's daughter Brionna joins the show. She brings a co worker Hannah for an evening of frivolity. Since the show became a drinking game, we almost die during the show.
It's a mess.
Skip this one. Skip ALL of them....
Did you ever wonder when Lance would Morse Code, if he would do that if his wife was around? In this episode, you find out where he got it from! Holly is back and just as "spicy" as ever! Never cross a mamma bear!
We discuss dental school, rural practices, and dentists' arrogant self worth.
Drunk Holly makes an appearance, but not like before.... Holly discusses with Lance about feedback, Facebook groups, fake dental influencers that piss and moan about being dropped as a KOL because they are insane, reddit questions about fees for fillings, short duration of periodic exams after a hygiene visit, and 3 visits for root canal therapy.....
Shout outs to Egypt and Tara from Vino at the Landing Jennifer Simpson, Erin Elliott, Arin Lousignont, Dr Brittany, Zyris, Better Help, Tom Hadley, Optibond Solo Plus, Kim and Penn Holderness, Chris and Krystina Stafford, and Gary Holtzclaw
What happens at VoD, STAYS at VoD. Except what WE talk about....! Listen while we think back upon our time in Arizona....
Lance talks about working in offices with sub par materials. WHY?!?!
and then... Wild Sex!
So.... we actually had requests for more. More cowbell? Nope. More Holly.
A mixture of listener requests and online questions, this week is a "sober hodge podge."
It's terrible. Don't even listen. DOWNLOAD it, please. We need the stats. But it isn't worth a listen.
What do we talk about? Well.... you would have to listen to find out....
So, with just a week before Voices of Dentistry, Holly joins Lance again to vent her spleen. This is a terrible episode. Don't listen.
Ever had a wine named after a murderous dentist?
Lance's own daughter asks about palatal petechiae. Social media thanked her for her service.
If you troll Reddit for patients, is that just changing with the times, or are you a terrible dentist?
Happy New Year!
What do you do when stars don't align and schedules suck? You make lemonade!
Lance starts with talk about New Years' Eve travel. Don't do it.
For the first time on THIS show, Lance's wife Holly shares HER perspective. Buckle up.
How do you choose a consultant to help acquire/start a practice? Be careful!
How old is TOO old to start a dental career path? 15?
Stay fresh!
It’s the holiday season, which means great treats and eats for everyone. Who doesn’t love some great chocolate truffles? Josh’s dog Graham certainly does. Which is why Josh ended up at an emergency vet clinic until 2 in the morning.
The boys spend waaaaaaay too long nit picking a great holiday movie. Hey Sam….wanna hear more about how I shagged your mom?
Only one question this week….what do we do with ungrateful patients. I have always thought the spelling of ungrateful was weird. Shouldn’t it be ungreatful?
Anyway, stay fresh and Merry Christmas.
Lance hit up the big city and reminisces on his trip. Nothing is better than NYC at Christmas time.
Advice starts this week with a discussion about office staff gifts. Lance has some old Tivo’s in his garage if you need something last minute.

Did you get your Spotify Wrapped? Lance didn’t. Loser.
Stay fresh
We’re back! We took a couple weeks off due to some family things and travel schedules. However, just like your mom’s gravy, we are coming in hot and ready for Thanksgiving.
What are the best ways to heal cavities naturally? How about a bukkake of fermented cod liver oil? Sounds appetizing!
How greedy is a dentist for wanting to spend more time on someone who was 40 minutes late. Total cash grab, amirite? We are thankful for how much we hate patients like this.
Be safe out there, cheese bags.
Hey, it is episode 200! Did we decided to do something special? Did we recruit a great guest? Did we have a bunch of recorded shout outs from dental celebrities? No. No to any of the above. Same shit, different episode. Stay in your lane, bros. Should you confront your dentist about not knowing about airway at a time when no dentists knew about airways? Sounds like a great idea. Everyone should feel awesome after that. Why does it feel like there is sand in my mouth???? Literally the most perfect question for episode 200. Stay fresh. Here’s to 200 more. Ugh, I am exhausted.
Tough news today as friend of the show Todd Ehrlich passed away the day we recorded. Josh and Lance reminisce about how great of a man Todd was and with heavy hearts, go on with the show.
Are you a fan of horror movies? What are your top 3? Josh’s favorite horror movie is “She’s Having a Baby.” Do you think Wilma Flintstone is sexy?

Stay fresh!
How busy is too busy? How much travel is too much? Is going to Ohio globetrotting? All this and more on tonight’s 60 Minutes.
Should a patient ask a dentist out? Of course she should. Shooters shoot. Now get after it, Larry Bird. Hopefully she looks like Larry Bird. Rawr.
How about being ambidextrous in dentistry? Would it be better to be ambidextrous or amphibious? You make the call.
Peace. Fresh. Bags.
The boys are back from Europe!!! Do you care about any of this? Probably not. But you get to listen to 40 minutes of stories anyway. Enjoy! What about a pie burn? What kind of pie? Fruit pie? Cream pie? Hair pie? Scolding pie!
Stay fresh, frommages!
YAPI brings back the She Shed episode. Is it Chichier?
This classic episode starts off with "ads suck", a podcast within a podcast where Josh bitches about ads. Clearly therapy is working.
Question 1, limits to staff benefits. Bigger staff get bigger benefits? Even in times of Covid?
Question 2, dental school notes. Keep them after graduation? Try Legacy box.....
Reddit is about bird shit on a night guard. Tastes great, less filling....

Finally, "raincoats" in a pedo office.

Did you know that commercials madden Josh? Especially ones with shitty songs about taking your significant other on a date to Applebee's. Have some self respect, ladies. Please do not let men get away with this.
Advice is a listener question about an associate who is always late. Lets steal his kidney. Wait a second…that’s Lance’s answer to EVERYTHING.
Keep it fancy like…
Josh is back this week, but comes back impressed with Gina’s performance as co-host. How crazy of a trip to California can Josh create? Hold his beer and find out. Should “red eye” flights include weed? We think yes!
Advice starts this week with a question from one of our hosts. Should he take it personally? Always. Is he terrible? Of course. Spiral away, Goode!
Should a dentist live in his office? Only if they want every patient to know where they take a dump and rub one out. And what do you do about Sunday emergencies? Take one in the rear, that’s what.
Peace out. Don’t slit your wrists after hearing this weeks song.
WI is back, just like this COVID glow up…annoying and preventable.
Is there anything better than a couple nights of fine dining in NYC? Mmmm! Sbarro!

It’s time for another 5 minute story. This one justifies Josh’s divorce! A delight for the entire family.
Advice starts tonight with a question about a “grandpa” FFS practice. Who are you calling, Grandpa, sonny? Should you kill yourself just for free Implant Pathways tuition?
What should you do if you smell vinegar all the time? Sounds like someone has the strokes.
Finally, how do you handle locking in a denture. If it were us, we would drown the memory in bourbon and move to another state.
Stay fresh!
Sorry we are late, but you’ll enjoy this one. It will be worth the wait, we promise. We start with a new segment…Five Minute Story. Josh wrote a story in 5 minutes and reads it. He then challenges Lance to it as well. Tune in the next couple of weeks to hear his!
We have one question tonight and it is a doozy. What do you do when you accidentally send your dentist a nude photo? Yeah, we told you it would be worth the wait.
Stay fresh!
Josh is back from West Hollywood and his trip with another man. Hell yeah. Should you sit front row at a comedy show? Hell no.

Advice starts this week with a question about a clitoral boner. Is that such a thing? And what do you do when you get one from your dentist?

The hunt for the Texas hat is over. Guess what? It is no longer being made. Of course.
Josh whines about his AGD 2021 commitments while Lance volunteers to help. Sucker.
Should a dentist force a patient to do Invisalign even though they don’t want to? Yeah, that sounds like a pleasant 8 months of forced dental treatment. Just what we like to see on our schedules.
Where can a patient find articulating foil to buy online. Can they smoke it to get high?
Punk rock never dies. Except when it does as punk rockers age. Turn up the hearing aides, old man.
Josh and Lance are back for more tomfoolery. Shenanigans, if you will....
And I will....

Anyway….Lance did a big case and then his ass hurt afterwards. What could that mean? Pucker factor of 10!
Josh is getting another car. Too bad there’s a damned gas crisis going on.
One question tonight that leads to many. Should a dentist get a sleeve of tattoos? Have you ever lacerated a floor of mouth? No? Oh then you must have not prepped many crowns there, Dr. Perfect. Lah dee dah.
Anyway….we hope you like diet soda and 30 year old white rock bands. Peace.
Relax, you thirsty mofos. We just took a week off. But we are back this week with even more non-sense. Josh is apparently turning into his mother. Apparently Lance is too, later in the show.
Why are temp hygienists always left handed? Why do they think they are the emcee of the Tonight Show?
This week we deep dive on one users Reddit history. Basically because of one question. Maybe the wildest question in the history of the show. You gotta listen to hear this!
Josh is hiding from social media again, so Clint fills in! Yes, he's no Josh. Who is....?
If you discipline a patient for being late (late fee, etc), how do you handle them complaining when YOU are late? Passive aggressive? Confrontational? Hide?

WI just can't quit you....

Josh is back doing LIVE CE and finding out just how much he really sucks. Not as much as Lance....
Questions start with dentist bedside manner. Why do we suck? Should cultural sensitivity be a freshman DS class?

Stay fresh....
WI time! Lance sounds terrible, recording from his office instead of home, so give him a pass on audio quality.... Josh has some cool news. Fancy a Kölsch?

Lance is moving again.... It must be spring again.... What is WRONG with HIM....? (don't ask....)
Is soda a hot drink...?

Hey, we have a great idea. Let’s take something that sucked and then double it. Double the suck! Would you like a Snyder Cut of WI? Yeah, neither do we. An hour is enough.
Advice starts this week with a question about a shitty dentist avoiding fixing his shitty work. How would you handle it? Hopefully better than this jerk.
Is Bioclear reversible? Is anything reversible? Was the Thanos snap reversible? Technically nothing is reversible! Except for your love for this show. That is definitely reversible.
Finally we end on the universal question that man has asked since the dawn of time….can someone probe themselves. Sure…but only in ways that involve lube.
Keep that freshness!
What do you get for the man that has everything? A secure watch winder display case….that's what! Did you know that Josh was COLLEGE actor?

Yeah, we are learning all kinds of shit today aren’t we?!
Advice starts today with a question about scamming holes. How do you know when your holes are being scammed? Should you be able to estimate something on the nose for it to be legit. How many holes does a nose have? Why are we calling them holes?
What should a tired and depressed dentist do to feel better? Listen to the boys give great advice then completely second guess themselves. Should a dentist know about nitrous and pregnancy? What about Invisalign emergencies. We are all perplexed.
Keep calm and stay fresh….cheese bags.
How popular are the Working Interferences Boys? Easy answer….NOT VERY. Josh recounts a recent "Reply All snafu" he encountered that cut him down a few pegs.

Should WI produce a movie called Weekend at Gordon’s? Josh might actually enjoy that.
Advice starts with a question about doing their own multisurface large posterior resin composite. Totally doable, right?
What should one fo for oral hygiene if they have a PHYSICAL DEPENDENCY ON SKITTLES. Quitting IS NOT an option. Maybe start smoking crack. That should break the Skittle habit.
Cheese bags: stay fresh.
Snowmaggedon 2021!!! Josh is snowed in. Lance is iced in. What could be better?

Ventura Highway forever!
Did you check out Virtual Seattle Study Club Symposium? If so, you would have caught Josh pulling a Winnie the Pooh and wearing a shirt with no pants. Maybe we can act it out live next year!

stay fresh.
Join us this week as Josh operates on literally 1 hour of sleep. Why? Why on Earth would he be up all night? A baby? Nope. Medical emergency? Nope. Severe weather event? Nope. His dog was needy. Seriously. White people shit.
Advice goes just one question deep….why do dentists suck at communicating? Specifically why do dentists suck at communicating about caries to teenagers? Yeah…that’s the question. Pick your nose up off the TikTok bro and maybe you would catch some anticipatory guidance.
If you’re a cheesebag, you should stay fresh.
Time to call FIve-O because Josh has a weird asshole that won’t leave his office. Would you have called the PoPo? If not, you’re wrong.

One advice question this week. It’s from Josh, so you know its going to be a train wreck. Are there good places to commit suicide near San Antonio? Are the woods the same thing as a forest? Inquiring minds want to know.
Stay fresh, lunatic cheese bags. Happy 2021! We hope your year got off to a better start than either Josh or Lance’s!
Hey, what do you know? Josh is back and ready to complain. This time about organized dentistry’s response to getting dentists vaccinated. Go out there and fight for yourselves, dentists.

I gave you the keys told you bring it right back.” -Drake

Anyway, the boys cover the second half of the sexy 2020 Halloween costumes…in November. Great timing as always.
Advice starts this week with a question about team members bitching and whining about “fairness” amongst team event parties. Lance and Josh come up with actual good advice….make it suck for everyone.

PubMed was searched!!!

Why do we talk about that? Well, its related to dentistry of course.

I’ll take THINGS I DIDN’T KNOW EXISTED FOR $1000, ALEX! Enjoy the lovable Tom Hadley. Stay fresh!!!

So, tell us what you think!
So yeah.... The end of days have started... Josh does what any sane person would do at the end, and shares details.... Lance has no counter point.... because he sucks.

What should he watch out for on his mission trip to Guatemala? Do you think that a FPD should be automatically placed with every extraction? This one Redditor does. We bet oral surgeons agree. They are going to love prepping bridges and making temps! Also, do you think that everyone has perfect teeth? Do you think people have “gills of rotting teeth?” Yeah, we don’t know what the hell that means either. If people had gills, they could breathe with my handpick water spraying down their throat. That would be a great evolutionary step in our eyes. You cheese bags need to stay fresh..

Finally, WHY ARE YOU SUCH A MEANIE!!!!! Oh yeah, ignore the bulimia. If you don’t, you are a meanie. You get the energy you give, gurlllllll.

The WI Boyz drop a new segment this week...The Hottest Take, where one of the hosts fires off a controversial opinion and then makes their case. This week, one meal of the day is bullshit. Which one? You have a 1 in 3 chance of getting it right, 25% if you love Taco Bell.
Advice starts with a question about patients selling crap to dental offices. Need a candle? No?? Shut up and buy one anyway. What’s the best Yankee Candle Scent anyway? We think it’s Jamaican Lace Cheekies, but that’s just us.
Have you heard the good news about dental research? Well, hear it here first. A video gamer has all the dirty details you need to put us out of business
Don’t be a Wailin’ Jenny..rate and review. 5 Stars!!!
Did you ever think you’d need to remember malaria from sophomore year Microbiology? Well apparently you do and also there’s basically nothing to do but lay back and relax. Should young African American adults be into 3 Doors Down? These are the questions that need answering, Alex Toussaint!
The first question tonight is about a dentist who tried to drill his son’s girlfriend. He certainly drilled her. Drilled her. Screwed her. Perfed her and then sent her a bill How would you have handled this? Probably way better than this guy did.
The second question tonight is about the best prime number of times per day to floss. You’ll be surprised at the answer. Stay fresh cheese bags!
Can the guys spend 25 minutes talking about new Lay’s flavors? You bet your ass they can. Is this a potato chip podcast? No. Does this stop them? Also no. Enjoy the potato chip eating ASMR….or don’t. Chips are awesome.
Advice this week is from two Reddit questions. That's right…more chips this week and one less question. Deal with it.
Question 1 asks should a patient pull their own tooth. Is there a zombie outbreak? No? Ok cool then maybe not pull your own tooth.
The second Reddit question asks what to do when they get a fingernail stuck down in their sulcus. Subscribe Rate and review. Celebrate the Babadook’s sexuality. Most importantly, enjoy this week’s episode!
It’s time for more WI! Lucky you! Josh is STILL jet lagged from his brief sojourn to London town, and he was NOT as impressed as Lance with their culinary efforts… What do YOU think? Holly protests with a smoke alarm during the recording….
Questions start with a listener email about firing an assistant that has a big case of the “whoops”…. If they drop stuff, should you fire them BEFORE they destroy your iTero?
First reddit asks if they can remove their ortho brackets themselves. DIY ortho… What could go wrong?
Final reddit: HOW are dental implants safe? Aren’t ALL metals evil? They are closer to the blood…! Might be a meridian issue…..
Josh is off to London to escape the heat (both literally and figuratively) and he discusses preparations with Lance. We find out that Andrea takes pills in an odd way and we get Lance’s take. Turns out Lance likes to raw dog his little blue pills.
Advice this week comes from two Reddit questions. The first of which is about when should you floss….before or after brushing? Would you believe that this topic ended a relationship?
Second question comes from Team Edward…whats the best way to make Vampire fangs. Surprisingly, some real dental prosthetic design discussion occurs. Prepare to be glamoured by these two undead dentists. Stay fresh, cheese bags.
MORE WI, whether you wanted it or NOT... Ready for some fantasy football? Can you snake draft?
Josh asks Lance if black coffee can contain sugar or not, and why you should NOT piss off your waitress.... Is there a Starbucks in Utah? Bulletproof is NOT black, right?
Question 1: Molar extraction and blow jobs... where have we heard THIS before?
Reddit #2: Does weed make dental appointments better or worse? Should the patient Bogart?
Final reddit: Should dentists specialize? What IS the best specialty, especially if you SUCK at business?
WI return! Josh talks to Lance about vomit... What makes you vomit MORE than listening to WI?
Question 1 is about tipping a waiter that stiffed you on a dental bill... Do you tip? Do you LIKE the taste of waiter phlegm?
Up next: Should you call your staph/team an "auxiliary"? Are they a whippersnapper?
Reddit this week: How do you handle bulges under the teeth? What if there are TWO?
Josh and Lance check in for episode 90 this week. 90 hours of this garbage?!?! 90! Josh opens the show admitting how he recently needed out on a, well, “minor celebrity.” Lance then wonders how other businesses are actually able to make any profit. Advice starts this week with a question about how to get a veteran hygienist to finally retire. Can Brett Favre help us again? No, probably not. Find out how in the world Josh thinks its a good idea to hire someone to car jack his hygienist. Question two sends Josh off into a Goose-style tailspin. He hit his head while ejecting and is now dead in the Indian Ocean. Thats how bad this question screwed Josh up. MORSE CODE TIME. Reddit this week is about spicy tooth paste. Colgate Carolina Reaper, anyone?
Josh opens the show with some potato chip ASMR as he sample’s his gift of Tim’s Cascade Potato Chips from Clintoris Timmerman. Next, Josh regales Lance with stories of his amazing new Toto Washlet S550E. Seriously, go buy one.
Now. Advice starts this week with a question about the best shoes to wear in practice. For some strange reason, this brings back memories of Brett Favre’s dick. Our brains are really messed up.
Second question is about experiences with guygienists. Don’t discriminate based on gender, people.
Our Reddit this week is about why 1 out of 10 dentists always dissents. Have you ever been polled about gum or toothpastes? Neither have we.

Second question is about a repeating repeater assistant. Newsflash….JOSH AND LANCE don’t mind.
Our Reddit tonight is about “tooth engraving” whatever the fuck that is. In a moment of brilliance the boys come up with a million dollar idea. Stay fresh, cheese bags.

Need a little extra spirit? How about some of that sweet sweet chutzpah that allows one to attempt to make outrageous claims? Try some of the brand new Tyler Brady’s Gumption Juice. It will give you that killer instinct you need to be a dental influencer.
Lance and Josh spend a few minutes visiting with the ghost of Jimmy Stewart who sings one of the worst songs of all time.
The Interferences also wonder who gives that much of a shit about their sisters root canal. Enjoy!!! #celebratetheforeskin

It’s time for Lance and Josh to try and monetize this bad boy, so in comes….a Facebook group! Search for the group Funny Shit for Dentists and Dental Team Members and join today.
Josh recaps the DE PPM conference before the advice starts.
What would you do with a loafing, back talking assistant who just started and is still in probation? Easy, right? What if she earned “sperm tenure” in her short time at the office? What does that mean? We don’t even know.
Two Reddit’s this week. Have you ever been aroused by the appearance of a patient but then turned off by their ANUG? If so, this is the question for you.
Second Reddit highlights the greatest dental jokes of all time. There are none. Highlight over. Show over. Peace. #celebratetheforeskin
Just Josh and Lance this week and the boys start off remembering some 1989-1990 NBA guys. Weird, I know. Just go with it, okay? Advice starts off this week with a hygienist obviously trying to run a scheme. Josh and Lance try to X Files style get to the bottom of this conspiracy. The second question is about an associate who has kleptomania. What can we learn from the Blue Bell ice cream licking controversy that can help here? Gotta listen to find out. BLUE BELL CHALLENGE!!!! Our Reddit question sounds like it could be about masturbation, but it’s not. Can it make you go blind? We sure as hell hope not. Rate and review. Subscribe. Tell your friends. Etc, etc. Celebrate the foreskin!!!! And be sure to check out the classic Y&T video "Summertime Girls"!
John Pasicznyk joins the WI boys for more awkward fun. What could go wrong, besides pronunciation of his name?

Finally: what if you have your wisdom teeth removed and want them back?
And don't forget the Principles of Practice Management Summit in Norf@#k, VA!
Happy Pride and Happy 4th of July from Working Interferences. This week we are joined by a special guest…Tay Gavin Harvey of Anaxdent. Tay talks about what her company does, how you actually say the name and how hip hop launched it. We have three Reddits this week, all of them are insane. Advice this week starts with a…diatribe? Manifesto? Tirade? Harangue? You tell us. No matter what word you use, its bonkers. Don’t forget to like, favorite and subscribe to his madness. The second Reddit tonight is even crazier. Are you the chosen dentist that is to be born? Our third Reddit tonight is somewhat more sane. How many times does it take you to make a decent occlusal splint? Hopefully less than this guy. Now go shoot some damn fireworks, people
Principles of Practice Management Summit: https://endeavor.swoogo.com/deppm19 Tay's hip hop videos: https://youtu.be/LQhV5K4pzuo https://youtu.be/ourXDcX1Voo
The hits keep coming. Josh fulfills a dream that started at age 17, and may need therapy to overcome....
Our listener question is about getting TB from a coughing patient. Can you shove a Luden's down their piehole?
Our Facebook rip is about Grinds. Who the F@#& thought THAT was a good idea?
And Reddit! Sweet, sweet reddit..... If your dentist gives you a hematoma, can you sue? (hold my beer....!)
Don't forget to register for the Principles of Practice Management symposium, at NorF@#& Virginia this year!
Well…time kind of got away from Josh and Lance this episode. While reviewing the Benco Dental Incisal Edge Magazine list of the Top 32 Most Influential People in Dentistry, Josh and Lance lost their minds. They spent 30 minutes hyperventilating about the insanity on the list. You really don’t want to miss it. Now, its not advice. But their advice they usually give isn’t really advice, so you really aren’t missing much.
The guys get around to answering one listener question after the Benco Debacle…what happens when you work so hard you piss your pants. Well…as Billy Madison once said, “You ain’t cool…unless you piss your pants.” Enjoy it all you sexy sexy Interferences out there!
FYI, the Suicide Prevention Lifeline is here: 1-800-273-8255
Come ye loyal WI’ers and hear the tale of stupidity Josh has this week. One day he will realize that he’s an old ass man and not capable of shenanigans anymore.
Advice starts tonight with a dentist who is receiving texts and selfies from an applicant. IT IS A GIFT!
We then chat about whether you want a “chirpy” assistant or a quiet one. Cuhcaw!
Finally our Reddit tonight is an all timer. What does spunk smell like? Neither of our “experts” really know.
Look…Josh and Lance REALLY just want to talk about the time Paul Pierce went #2 in his pants during a NBA Finals game, but since y’all heathens want some fresh dope, I guess that NBA dook will have to wait.
Lance and Josh put some stuff on wax about Delivering Wow and all that non-sense drama. Much respect.
Next, Gina asks about how to handle a grave side dental consult.
Finally our Reddit question leads us to discuss how many dentists are in gangs and what the coolest dental gang name would be. Screw Droppahs!!!!
Happy start of summer, WI fans! Memorial Day is here and Josh and Lance celebrate with a Working Interferences tradition…talking about the Murph Challenge, but not participating in it. No modifications here! How long would it take Gordon Christensen to do the Murph? Advice starts with a question from Matt, who had an old man patient accuse him of rubbing his junk all over him during a procedure. Do we think Matt is into lemon parties? Our Reddit question tonight is about the plausibility of one month hygiene recall intervals. Seems legit to me.
Are you ready for two grown men to bitch and moan about the ending of Game Of Thrones? No? Ok good, because you’re not gonna get that here.
Two questions tonight.
Firstly and very importantly, what do you do when you get a nude selfie from a patient? Josh yearns to experience this.
Secondly, should someone whose Reddit user name is “DaveGrohlsGoochHair” be a pediatric dentist? Probably not. How much gooch hair do you think Dave Grohl has?
Scary.
Look people, I don’t mean to toot our own horn but low key, Josh and Lance basically prove quantum theory this week. How, you ask? You’ll have to tune in to find out. Question 1 this week asks how to handle a lab snafu that inconveniences the patient. Question 2 involves a flirty dental assistant who uses Tinder to get new patients for the practice. I see no problem here. Our reddit question tonight leads Josh to ask aloud, again, just how much oral sex is happening out there?!?!?
Are you ready to have Avengers: End Game spoiled for you? Are you prepared to talk about Thanos’ butt hole? Ever wonder if Ant Man could be into felching? If you answered yes to any of those, you have come to the right place.
Join Josh and Lance as they explore these questions and many more, like what is the best “white coat” for clinical practice?
Also, do hygienists get a day off for lice? Hot take here…deal with your personal hygiene on your own time please.
Our Reddit question this week helps us uncover an enhanced individual who is living and working as a dental hygienist.
Surprise, surprise…Josh is sick again. Because of that, this week will be a mini-sode. Just one Reddit question, but its a doozy. Does a face tattoo preclude you from going to dental school? How many dentists in the USA have a face tattoo? Josh says zero…Lance says 2. Josh then regales Lance with the tale of an urban legend that all the prosthodontists at his dental school had face tattoos. Also, one of them was married to the Donkey Lady. Only one of those is true…guess which one!
Lance and Josh are back at it, refreshed and recharged after a pious, religious and spiritual Easter Holiday. In that vein, the show opens with a frank and open discussion about Arya Stark’s boobs and lady bits. What Thrones character do you least want to see naked. Josh is REALLY into WunWun the giant. M
Advice this week starts with a dentist who doesn’t know how to decorate his office. Lance and Josh talk about the garbage that adorns their walls and give suggestions to Kurt. Josh lands on a NUGGET of great advice for his bare wall issues.
Reddit this week is about kids and brushing. Lance talks about his experience tying his children down with zip ties to brush their teeth. Father of the year over here. Also, don’t be a dick and spoil Avengers: End Game for anyone. That’s just a shitty thing to do.
Lance opens the show with his memories of le Cathédrale de Notre Dame on the day of its sad events. Josh reads a question to start from someone who attended one of his lectures and was just a little confused. This is GREAT for Josh’s ego. Josh then discusses a recently lecture where he shit the bed. Not literally, but figuratively, thankfully. Our Reddit tonight comes from a dental patient who is somewhat confused…by everything . They were supposed to do….something…they think. Please help them!
Buckle up for MORE WI fun and hilarity. Has dentistry REALLY come to this...?
Josh came to Seattle and yet AGAIN, did not meet up with Lance. I think he is passive/aggressive saying something....
Just 2 questions this week. First, an associate has terrible bedside manner. What DO you DO?
And reddit. Blessed reddit..... Does weed make teeth HURT? How much research should we do....?
Did you enjoy last week’s show? Let episode 70 be your mouthwash.
Lance debuts a new segment this week. Is Invisalign gluten-free?
What kind of jokes does a German dental stand up comedian tell? Could the Joker actually move his face? Imagine doing lower veneers on that keloided lip.
Finally, our Reddit question this week asks the eternal question...should a socket itch? All signs point to no.
Enjoy....and celebrate the foreskin.
It was GOING to happen. It was inevitable. There was NO way to stop it.... Episode 69.
Hide your wife. Hide your kids. Wear waterproof outerwear. The time is now.
How do we handle this? Well, we invite the Queen of Dental Podcasts, THE Girl Boss, back on the show!
What do we talk about?
Stock tips....
Well, that and the obvious.
Check it.
The boyz are back, one episode closer to the promised land. This week Lance and Josh break down the advertisement of a rather zealous prosthodontist in Denver. Apparently, prosthodontists never have failures. Who knew!?!! Way to go, prosthodontists!
After dunking on Dr. Anne Fabricius, we would like to extend an invite to her to come on the show and talk about this. We promise it will be fun!
Our Reddit question tonight comes from a user wondering how safe it is to take a bong rip after an implant. Josh then uncovers a treasure trove of hot takes from the question asker. Is uncooked ramen better than cooked ramen? HOT TAKE ALERT!!!!!
Check out the GoFundMe mentioned at bit.ly/sylviagfm. Celebrate the foreskin!!!!!!
The WI Boyz are back with an all new edition of your favorite dental comedy podcast. Josh opens with a question he has about a temporary hygienist with the dropsies. Who is on the hook?
We also have a question about who pays when a patient’s head matches up against a pano machine? We think you’re screwed, Billy.
Our Reddit tonight asks if his hygienist is a butcher, a masochist or just isn’t that good with a scaler.
We are nearing a huge milestone in Working Interferences history. Find out what it is in 3 weeks. :) This week, the boys open the pod discussing whats its like to be 40 as old man Josh is regaled about tales of old age from even older man Lance. Advice starts this week with a question from a nasty girl who wants to know about hiring other nasty girls. We then pivot to a question that makes both Josh and Lance feel like the oldest whitest guys in the world. We can’t help you with grillz questions, people. We just can’t. Finally our Reddit this week HAS TO BE HEARD TO BE BELIEVED!!!! Enjoy and #celebratetheforeskin!
More WI nonsense! Despite Lance's apathy, the Oscars happened. Nobody cares.
Question 1: John has a staff that constantly dreams of having sex with him. Does he fire them all? Or buy more lube?
Number 2: Ashing of teeth? WTF?
Reddit 3 is showing how CHEAP we can be. Not enough Xylitol in your gum? Can you add your own?
Potpourri week! Are you ready for some prime awkwardness? Well you are in luck this week because Josh has some super embarrassing stuff highlighting a recent interaction with a service department at a car dealership. Prepare to cringe.
After taking a shower to cleanse yourself of the uncomfortableness, bask in the sun of a Ads Suck podcast within a podcast episode where middle age women get wrecked and they love it. Bruised pubic bones for all!
We only have one advice question this week…a Reddit about the netflix mockumentary Root Cause. Spoiler alert…it sucks balls and so do the holistic dentists featured in it. Go to hell, y’all.
WI just can't quit you...
Lance starts with a weather forecast for the PNW (spoiler alert: it sucks).
First question is about a diabetic patient in hygiene pricking his hygienist. Do you call the cops?
Question two: We all know it takes three licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop, but how many times can you brush your teeth in a day to get them whiter? (another spoiler: a helluva lot....)
Josh and Lance gather again to discuss their favorite parts of the big big foosball game from last week. Lance complains about the weather in Seattle and how its screwing his production. Advice this week starts with a question about how to deal with a guy whose mommy paid for his dentistry. As always, the boys give the crappiest of the advice. Question 2 is about moving patients around to make the schedule work. This weeks Reddit asks the age old question…what the hell do you even do all day, bro?
This week we share our LIVE DENTAL ADVICE EXPERIENCE from Voices of Dentistry. What a great meeting and a great experience. Make it a goal to attend VOD 2020! Advice starts this week with three audience questions. Randy wants to know how to properly execute the Seattle Protocol. His fired team keep coming back for more Houska! Craig asked about an awkward situation with his cute, young, conservative hygienist and a Ukranian female patient who is obsessed with her. Watch out for a stiletto to the temple, Craig! Missy asks about a “trollop” who keeps hitting on her dentist husband. What does trollop mean? Tune in to find out! We have two AMAZING Reddits this week. One about a young man who wants to be a dentist for all the WRONG reasons. Don’t think with your little head, son. Our final Reddit showcases a dude who made his own denture. Does a vibrating line matter? Eh, probably not. See you at VOD next year!!!
WI have a short one before the Voices of Dentistry! See you there!
Reddit! #1 is asking if you should brush your teeth with Dirt©. Probably better than Cumbucha.
Reddit #2 is about teeth as an erogenous zone. How much do you LOVE your dental visits?

Sorry for our tardiness, but this week we have a Friday launch instead of a Thursday drop. We start the show with some real white people problems as Josh vents about his experience trying to buy a car. Next up, the boys discuss the meaning of the word “biffie” which will surprise you.

The boys are back in town after a short holiday hiatus. Josh and Lance start the show by regaling each other of tales from their holidays. Find out why Josh hates New Years so much. It’s just another day that rent is due, people! Advice starts off this week with a dentist who had a crown done on himself by a well known local dentist that turns out…is a total hack. What should he do? Ask Josh and Lance, that's what. We then hear from a practice owner who is tired of dealing with a Negative-Nancy employee. Time for Seattle Protocol. Finally, we end with a Reddit that will leave you shaking your head. Happy First of the Month, everyone!!!
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.

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.

Reddit! is about vomit. 'nuff said.
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?

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.

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!!!!
More WI. Josh and Lance start Sucktember with a bang. After the concert weekend reviews, the questions begin.
First up, are shorts ok in the dental office? Hot pants going too far?
Next, best exercise for a dentist to avoid back pain? Pizza night with patients going too far?
Finally, reddit! How long does it take to make a flipper? Same day? Two weeks? Is $300 crazy/outrageous?
WI return! After both Josh and Lance have technical issues, this week SEEMS back to normal. No gerbils were harmed this week.
Question 1 is about office attire. Do YOU wear a white coat? Tie? Tassels?
2 is about birthdays in the office. Is spanking legal THEN?
Finally, reddit! What do you do if you find out your dentist was arrested for PRETENDING to be a dentist?
Josh is back with Lance this week and the Interferences are whole again. The show starts with a taste test of the hot, new Dentsply Sirona potato chips. I hope you like listening to people eat, because you are about to get about 12 minutes of it. Advice starts with a conflict between families in Hawaii that could lead to an interesting cage match. A dentist asks if he should hook a patient up with Smile Direct Club. What do you think our thoughts on that are? Eat shit, SDC. Choke on a bag of dicks. We have a Reddit question from someone who SHOULD NOT BE ON REDDIT. Apologies for the tech difficulties this week. Mercury was in retrograde.
Is it a bonus episode if it is simply late? Josh skips this week, so Clint is back! Lance and Clint were going to a Wheeler Walker Jr concert and decided to "drop some wisdom".
Question one is less of a question and more of a commentary about a recent dumpster fire on Facebook. I will never look at pizza the same way again.....
Question 2 deals with attempted suicide. Does an attempt affect you as an employer and employment termination?
And Reddit! Another BJ one. Does oral sex cause tooth loss? Might need a "double blind study"......
Tag team, back again….Josh and Lance return for more advice. Lance regales us with tale of Rivers Cuomo’s cut, stone hewn body and an amazing concert experience. The Subreddit of the Week this week is r/Barkour and it is AMAZING!

Our first advice question this week absolutely stumps the interferences as they are clueless about the Shiggy Challenge…or the Kiki Challenge…or the In My Feelings Challenge….or the In My Fillings Challenge.
