Tasty stack here is a silly national holiday you may have not heard of before.
Speaker A:The second day of June.
Speaker A:National love your dentist day.
Speaker A:This has got to be a holiday created by dentists for dentists, right?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:They had to thought, well, you know what?
Speaker A:People love being asked questions while their mouth is full of tools.
Speaker A:Dentists are, like the only professions where they greet you by saying, hey, how have you been?
Speaker A:And then make it impossible for you to answer.
Speaker A:How's work going?
Speaker A:Oh, great.
Speaker A:Glad to hear it.
Speaker A:The thing I find fascinating about a dentist, though, is they.
Speaker A:They tend to be incredibly optimistic.
Speaker A:They'll spend 20 minutes scraping your teeth like they're restoring ancient archaeological sites and then go, have you been flossing?
Speaker A:Well, no.
Speaker A:That's why we're both here.
Speaker A:Flossing is like the gym membership of dental care.
Speaker A:Everybody's got a plan, but no one wants to discuss the actual attendance numbers.
Speaker A:You know, dentists also have a unique definition of pain.
Speaker A:If you've ever.
Speaker A:If you've ever sat through this, you may feel a little pressure.
Speaker A:Pressure?
Speaker A:That's not pressure.
Speaker A:Pressure's a deadline at work.
Speaker A:What I'm feeling is a stranger trying to reach my memories through my jaw.
Speaker A:And they ask you to swish it around and spit.
Speaker A:What?
Speaker A:What, what it.
Speaker A:What.
Speaker A:What notes are you getting?
Speaker A:Like you're a wine Somalia.
Speaker A:Oh, it's mostly blood with a hint of regret.
Speaker A:But again, dentists do, of course, deserve appreciation.
Speaker A:You think about it, they spend all day staring into our mouths.
Speaker A:They have seen things that no human being should ever see.
Speaker A:I mean, at some point, every dentist has looked into somebody's mouth and thought, wow, this person treats their teeth like rental cars.
Speaker A:I mean, in fact, if you've ever thought about becoming a dentist, you should probably think again.
Speaker A:Maybe even think again six times.
Speaker A:Best way to start your day.
Speaker A:These six jokes he's about to say, listen up for old haystack to crack open to more six pack.
Speaker A:These are the top six questions you should ask yourself before you consider becoming a dentist.
Speaker A:Number six, am I just doing this for access to nitrous oxide?
Speaker A:Number five, will I get discreet deliveries of cash from the candy industry?
Speaker A:Number four, am I up to date on my subscription to Highlights magazine?
Speaker A:Number three, how low do my grades have to be to miss out on getting into medical school?
Speaker A:Number two, can I remember to add a stern finger wag whenever I say floss more?
Speaker A:And the number one sign, the number one question I should say that you should ask yourself before you consider becoming a dentist.
Speaker A:Does whitening and straightening teeth make me a racist homophobe.
