1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Today fed up by thinking it was normal to gush

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: blood out of my mouth for the last twenty years.

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: That's not a normal bro That's not normal at all,

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: not very normal, not very.

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 3: Normal, not anyone. If everyone has that happening them, it's

6
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 3: not normal. Stop.

7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: Might might want, might want to contact your your nearest doctor, yeah, physician, physician, and.

8
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, all of those, your whole team. Whole team.

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: So this ef up gradually set it on me over

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. I'm in my mid thirties, and

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: for as long as I can remember, nearly every time

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: I would brush my teeth, I would get a little

13
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: bit of blood in my toothpaste and I spit it out,

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: which that happens, something happens if you over aggressively, you know, Yeah, yeah,

15
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: that happens to occasional.

16
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: Uh.

17
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: It's been going on for so long that I thought

18
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: it was just normal for me until a few weeks ago.

19
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: Until a few months ago. Last year my partner noticed

20
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: that the blood. Last year, my partner noticed the blood

21
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: in my spit radiating concern, asking, oh my god, are

22
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: you okay, where's your mouth bleeding? I was like, what

23
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: do you mean that? I'm always believed that always happens.

24
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: There's nothing I have normal here, sweetheart. She gave me

25
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: this horrified look. That's not supposed to happen. You need

26
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: to go to the dentist. At the time, I just

27
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: thought to myself, Man, whatever, it's been like this for years.

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: My mouth is probably just more sensitive than most people's.

29
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: It's a drake mouth. Drake mouth.

30
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's sensitive. Oh nice.

31
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: Fast forward to a couple months ago. I had a

32
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: few days. I had a few days of one of

33
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: my teeth aching. It felt a lot like a cavity

34
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: I had before. But I was and I was preparing

35
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: myself to have another root canal. Those are not God,

36
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: those are not Have you had a root cano no, dude,

37
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: They like drill up in there and then when they

38
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: pull it out, like you see like all the roots

39
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: of your teeth and it's wild. Dude, your teeth are

40
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: like it's like a little octopus, like.

41
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: Sh an octopus.

42
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, because of the the the roots of the teeth

43
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: going up into the gums, there's like.

44
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: A little This is very much.

45
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: Like sam Opie says he is not a fan of dentists.

46
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: But I knew that if I needed a root canal,

47
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: it's better to rip off the band aid sooner than later.

48
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: So I find a dentist and they do all the

49
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: X rays and imaging, and then a dentist comes in

50
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: and is like, so, I see you don't have any cavities,

51
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: but let me ask you this.

52
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 3: Do your gums bleed when you brush? And I was like, yes,

53
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: they do.

54
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: So he said, you have the early stages of preordontal

55
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: disease and your gums have started receding, exposing some of

56
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: the roots of your teeth. WHOA, that is why you're

57
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: getting sensitive. That's why you're getting sensitivity and toothaches. He

58
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: went on to explain that it needs to stop or

59
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: else my bone will start receding and my teeth will

60
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: start falling out.

61
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 2: Ah, that's like the nightmare everyone has, Like your teeth

62
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 2: falling out, falling out, that's insane.

63
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, my teeth always fall out in my dreams. Isn't

64
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: that the same for you?

65
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: No, I've never had my teeth fall out of my dreams.

66
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: Really, I like or like I crunch and they crack

67
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: and then I like spit them out or something happens

68
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: constantly in my mind.

69
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 3: Is uh, what's my my reoccurring dream. I haven't.

70
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: I haven't been keeping track of my dreams lately, but

71
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: like I did have one shooting zombies, had a few

Speaker 3: Zombie tiger.

85
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: I remember what it was like an apocalyptic setting and

86

Speaker 1: I was like I had a sword and there was

87
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,440

Speaker 1: in my adult life, but not so much recently.

96
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: I I my worst stage was like I think it

97
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 2: was like five. I would like wake up in the

98
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 2: middle of the night and like I was convinced that

99
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: my dream was still happening and people were like killing me,

100
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 2: and I would like come screaming to my parents.

101
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: And my mom still remembers this, and she's like, this

00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, what what was her reaction when you

00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: came in, Because sam mom is kind of like straightened

107
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: to the point, so I'm very curious what she, like

108
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: her reaction was to you coming in of a five

109
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: year old.

110
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: I was a five year I think she was like, oh,

00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 2: like I thank Yeah.

112
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: Samuel, this is all in your head. You must learn

113
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: to contribute, an idiot. This isn't real.

114
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 3: Dude's amazing. She was nice, very comforting.

115
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so now let's take a trip to the past.

116
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: I used to hate going to the dentist ever since

117
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: I was a kid. I avoided it in every way

118
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: I could. But my mom was a dental assistant. There

119
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: might be some might need to go with the right there,

120
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: and I made and made sure to make sure I

121
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: went at least once a year on average over the

122
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: last few years. Ever since I got a bunch of

123
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: root canals, teeth, extracted, implants put in, blah.

124
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah. Wow, a lot of dental work. Bro. Yeah.

125
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been going of my own volition once a year. Obviously,

126
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: every time I went, the dentists were like, you need

127
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: a floss more and do my regular cleanings. But I've

128
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: always thought to myself, I don't have cavity, so who

129
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: cares five.

130
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 3: Little build them here and there. I so you know

131
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 3: what's bad. I have not historically.

132
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: But I just started recently flossing again, actually because of

133
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: Adam Scott was on podcast but Outside and they were

134
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: talking about flossing for ten minutes. So I've started by

135
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: doing the first three teeth of both upper and flower

136
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: to like build the habit and then and then I'm

137
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna get there.

138
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't floss. I don't foster. I'm not. You're

139
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: about to be like I've flossed every.

140
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 2: Day, dude, I was fifty years No, that's a great

141
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 2: method of like starting with some of the teeth because like, yeah,

142
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: just building the habit. But every time I go to

143
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: the dentist, they're like they're like, they're like, have you

144
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: been flossing? And I'm like, yes, because what I'll what

145
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: I do is usually I just floss right before, right, So.

146
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 3: I'm not lying to the dentist that I am.

147
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: In the past. Now, I'm like, yeah, what's wrong with me?

148
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: Tell me how to fix it. But as a kid,

149
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh why. I remember one time I didn't

150
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: brush my teeth before going to the dentist, and dude,

151
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: I was so shood.

152
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: They got roast roasted. Oh dude, she was roasting me. Dude,

153
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 3: they always roast you.

154
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, I'm trying to shame you into Yeah,

155
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: you know, I don't think the flossing. I've never thought

156
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: flossing is that important. And I know that's probably not

157
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: true because every dentist ever has said, bro floss. But

158

173
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: months until the preordontal disease is under control, and I

174
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: was like, sure, whatever it takes. Anyway, for the last visit,

175
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: I started flossing every damn night. Wow, every night. After

176
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,679
Speaker 1: about a week, I noticed, Hey, my mouth isn't bleeding

177
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 1: while I brush.

178
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: That's strange. That's good news.

179
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: And now it's been over a month and my mouth

180
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: is still blood free. I didn't realize this was possible, y'all.

181
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: I thought I was destined to bleed forever. Now the

182
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: thought of my guns bleeding is the only motivation I

183
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 1: need to floss every dang night. I am not going

184
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: back to that. I really wish someone had just impressed

185
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: upon me earlier. If I didn't floss as well, my

186
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: job phone would shrivel up and my teeth would fall out.

187
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 3: I guess I needed to be scared.

188
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: Straight man, this guy is really counteracting all the points

189
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,880
