welcome to friends like us bonus improv joe can we please get a suggestion you sure can jenna
Thanks. You're always so on top of it.
I am. Your word is unavoidable.
I have to go to the dentist, which I feel like is unavoidable.
And I last time I was at the dentist, I got a stern warning that if I didn't do a better job flossing,
I would need to get a deep
cleaning
which is like
very invasive and they have to
numb your mouth and they can only do
half at a time and then you have to come back another time
and they do the other half
so I really don't want that to happen
so I've been flossing
not regularly
but more regularly
and then
so next week I go and they
give me the verdict
how long have you been kind of trying uh six months right okay that's enough for me yeah um
i think going to the dentist is avoidable because i have been avoiding it for years
yeah um but i've okay here's i've heard some stories recently about people like or like
dentists trying to like sneak in things services that you don't need because they can just bill
your insurance so it's like oh yeah you got some cavities sure whatever like but you don't but like
if you get a second dentist opinion like you could get be like no you're fine you have no cavities
or like oh yeah you really need this implant or whatever so now i'm wary i'm skeptical
of dentists did i tell you i wished a cavity away no see why would i go to a dentist if i can do that
Yeah, they won't admit it.
But they were like, oh, you're starting to get a cavity.
And I was like, no.
I was deep into my manifestation woo-woo at the time.
I was like, I'm not getting a cavity.
Never had one.
And then the next time I went, there was no cavity.
Wow.
Yeah.
I love the dentist.
I go four times a year.
Wow.
That too much So you go quarterly Yeah I go every three months Be back in november baby oh four times no every three months three times four is 12 oh it okay i know you didn mean
anything by it he was suggesting that you need to take better care of your teeth they always do that
and then they they do they do casual things like he told me last time i was there that
looking at my teeth and like starting the preliminary exam
and then he's like, when we're done
I'm going to do a flossing demonstration.
I'm like, okay, read between
the lines. You don't think
I'm flossing. And to be fair.
I hate flossing. Well, I told them I don't have
a sink in my bedroom.
That would make things so much easier.
Like when sometimes you're already in bed, you're like reading
and it's like you're getting tired. It's like
I'm not getting out of bed.
To go floss?
Yeah. Every bedroom should
have a sink in it. Save it for invention of the
week, my man. I know, I was thinking it.
Floss tubes.
You just lie there and think.
You just
imagine more.
Floss.
Yeah, flossing hands.
Nice.
They get all up in your jaw.
Yeah, I like that.
And now, improv.
Okay.
and open a little wider, please.
Well, thank you.
Okay.
All right, so you've been...
You've been flossing regularly?
Uh-huh.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
All right.
I did, I did.
You can answer me.
Yes, I swear.
I do it every day,
three times a day.
You know I can tell you're lying
from your teeth, right?
The teeth tell all.
No.
No! I've been trying, I swear.
Doctor, do you have another tooth liar?
Yes.
Very well. I'll add it to his chart.
Thank you.
No, that's on my permanent record.
Make sure it's in ink.
I don't know what to do. You know this is hard for me. I'm busy.
Ah, see that? I can tell that's the truth. I can see it in your teeth.
Can it come off the file then?
No.
I wrote it in ink.
She wrote it in ink.
and also
selectively lying is still lying
I wasn't meaning to
I'm woozy from the gas you have me on
nope
joke's on you I didn't give you any gas
damn it
feels so good to lie
um
open up please no bigger Open wide Open wide Okay No
I need to be able to get my hands in there.
Okay.
Doctor, shall I bring out the mechanical hands?
Please, please do.
No, okay, girl.
There it is.
Okay.
Now, let me ask you something.
Back in 1998,
Did you
take a 20 out of your grandmother's purse?
No.
I would never steal from Granny.
Oh.
Teeth tell the story.
The teeth don't lie.
Okay.
Number 28 is clearly telling me.
What was she going to do with it?
Wait a minute.
My teeth are telling you I'm lying?
I told you the teeth.
They tell all.
Pull them.
No, I can't do that.
Ethically, I can't pull healthy, truth-telling teeth.
I'll pay cash.
I'm sorry.
That's not what this is about.
I'll pay double.
I took an oath.
To whom?
To the gods of dentistry.
Yeah, the gods of dentistry are very serious.
Mess with them at your peril.
I didn't come here to be judged.
I came here to be told I'm not doing a good job.
Hey, you're not doing a good job, by the way.
That's all I wanted.
Okay.
Well, you got that.
Mm-hmm.
Now, I'm going to make this a teaching moment here.
This is Rebecca.
She's training to be.
Dentist in training.
I'm glad I can still call you Rebecca.
Yes.
I'm not a doctor yet.
I called you right at the perfect moment where we could be friends.
I don't think so, sir.
Okay.
That was.
She knows your teeth.
That's inappropriate.
are liars.
Okay.
Or that you're a liar from your teeth.
My teeth are lying?
No, your teeth are the only things that are telling the truth.
Everything that passes through your lips has to go by your teeth.
Your teeth know all.
I was going to become an optometrist, but the eyes are windows to lies.
Yep.
And you prefer...
Truth-telling teeth.
Dental lens.
Rebecca, why don't you go ahead and get in there and let me...
You tell me what you see.
All right.
Open wide.
wider
very good
now tell me
when you're cozy in bed late at night
and it's time to floss
do you floss your teeth are already telling me the answer Rebecca Yas
Did you say yas?
I said, yas, I floss.
Oh, but you don't, sir.
That's it. If you won't take my teeth out, I'll find a way to have them out.
And you'll never be able to know if I'm lying again.
but everyone else will know that you are a liar because you have no teeth
that's not the only reason people have no teeth i could have been in a drilling accident
where you were drilling and your teeth fell out
okay see you can't make up a good lie you know there's no escaping the lies okay well what do
you recommend i do clearly i can't tell the truth why not why just tell the truth tell the truth and
shame the devil. That's the motto that's
written in Latin above the door
you walked under. Yep. Oh, it's hard
to see because I've been avoiding the optometrist.
Because the eyes
are the windows to lies.
Okay. All right, look, I can do this.
Read one more of my teeth,
and I'll promise to tell the truth. Very good.
Doctor, you better do this one.
You're the professional. Thank you.
I'm going to read
