i cannot stress enough that if you don't like pain, you want to get the root canal done. i just had to have one last week, the pain before that had been awful for literal months unless i was super careful about the way i was eating. after the root canal? the numbness was gone after two hours max, and without even taking painkillers i only felt a TINY bit of discomfort. compared to how it felt beforehand it was nothing.

That Kenneth fire guy turns out that the citizen arrest was false. He was released from a holding cell as they proved that he didn’t start the fire. It’s misinfo but it’s chill a lot of people thought it was real.

There were a lot of insurance companies that had to stop coverage on homes months before the fires due to state laws preventing them from considering future potential weather events. So they couldn't price in the high likelihood of fires. What was supposed to be good legislation backfired horribly

just started watching the episode, and maya I relate SO BAD about the dentist, it's always been okay to me but now it's started to be less and less bearable and just hearing you talk about it made my teeth hurt idk why as I get older I'm less and less tolerant to the dentist

The dentist story sounds too familiar... I already have difficulties breathing through my nose (fricked up septum) and when they clean with the waterdrill thingy, I feel like I'm drowning. Cause it's difficult to swallow with an open mouth, can't breath through my nose, so yeah, fantastic experience >.<
Also, that movie theatre gaming experience, sounds AWESOME as heck. What a fantastic idea and thoughtful gift.

on maya talking about the dentist potentially dropping a drill down her throat, it happened to me (on new year's eve, might i add) and i had to go to the ER, but it went down into my esophagus so they got it out with an endoscopy which is not that bad bc ur sedated :D u can also aspirate it into your lungs which is not that common ! 🫶🏽 if u just swallow it and they can't get it out tho it's not the end of the world their drills are pretty small and u can just shit it out (as long as u dont shit it out sideways) 😇 fear lowkey valid but it was not that bad 🫶🏽

In regards to the air quality in LA, I remember seeing a post of a bike left laying on a driveway because of evacuation, and after the fire only the melted remnants of the bike remained, meaning that there is bike in the air

Idea. Get a wireless charger pad for your desk, then put your phone on it while you’re at your desk/not using it. It’ll keep it topped up.

i know it's a bit late, but for anyone who might have their house still in danger of burning down in LA or ever in the future, the fridge is actually a pretty good place to put important things/small sentimental items. i had a former prof's house burn down last year and everything was gone but the contents of her fridge were fine. the fridge itself wasn't, but the inside was fine.

and even then the “looting” that is said to be happening isn’t even happening. people are trying to get to their BURNED homes to retrieve whatever they can after they had just a few short minutes to evacuate. during hurricane katrina, it (looting) was also used as an excuse for some horrible things that the police and etc have done especially to marginalized people after losing their homes as well 😔 yes it’s all unfortunately political 😭

If you are putting a cup of water in the microwave, you are meant to leave a small spoon in it. The spoon has no pointed edge which is what sparks and without it, you can heat water above boiling point. Water above boiling point will instantly flash boil when moved leading to serious burns.

Yea same. I have a really rational fear of dentists, but my face puffed up so much that I just had to go. The dentist I went to gave me the happy gas and basically took me on a guided meditation journey where I felt nothing. So worth it to find someone who cares about people

My wife found a dentist around us that actually caters to people with anxiety. They're extra supportive and have a dog to help calm you down. She has really bad anxiety (esp. medical) but this place has been really good for her.

Funnily enough getting a root canal was very chill for me even though I have a severe phobia of the dentist. I went to a nice endontist office and had nitrous and the GBBO playing while I was getting worked on😅 they also gave me a weighted blanket it was so nice

I have a phobia of the dentist too, mine is from getting crowns on two teeth and I wasn’t fully numbed and it was so painful. I havent gone back since and tbh i even had to skim through maya’s segment about the dentist because it’s so bad 😭 what im afraid of is the pain for sure though

Cozy podcast is best podcast!
On the paranoia content, when you deeply fear something you see it hiding behind every corner, and when something remotely similar happens, you react like it's the real thing. I think both people posting that shit and people clicking on so much of it that it became prominent in the algorithm are mostly because of that. I can't blame them, it looks apocalyptic out there :( ... on the opposite side of the coping spectrum the processing-through-dark-humor people are eating good though. The memes are fire :')

re: their conversation on depression. My father has no concept of depression (old fashioned). He sees it as a character flaw, like you should be able to power your way out of it. That is almost as debilitating as having depression-the fact that there are still so many people who think it is a personal weakness rather than an illness. No one would say that a diabetic is weak because they can't make insulin, but a lot of people think people with depression are just weak. Frustrating.

Much of the distrust in the government after disasters 100% stems from the dust bowl to Katrina. Continuous failures causes real concern but as always people go way too far

i forget if i said this on the gaming post where you tried Destroy All Humans, but if games have local (meaning same room/same computer) multiplayer, on Steam you can do a Remote Play Together thing where one of you gets to join and play as player 2 even though the game doesn't technically support internet multiplayer. there is lag, however.

I think the only reason I consistently go to the dentist twice a year is my insurance covers 100% IF I go. When I miss they reduce, and keep reducing coverage based on how many skipped
