As a scientist, this is a perfect podcast to escape the difficult world of science! Thank you for your service

[@MrsFooCough]

I always think this!!! I’m a biomedical sciences grad (became a wife&mum v soon after graduation though so never really followed through) with autism and ADHD so my hyperfocus/special interest for most of my life has been chemistry/bioscience! And these beautiful creatures are asking All The Right Questions 👍 ❤

Okay 12 minutes into this episode and I am making an appointment to get my teeth cleaned.

[@MubinNoor]

I started flossing, trying to make the C shape floss is supposedly supposed to make, lol. Didn't get anywhere with it though.

[@chillmurray420]

Aw Mitchell Davis!!! What a beauty. So happy to hear he's doing well and that Grace and him are still buddies. 🥰

[@neitan6891]

I feel like dentist offices never focused on flossing when we were kids. It was all about brushing. After experiencing recession in my late 20s, I now brush and floss 30 minutes after each meal. Make sure to make that C-shape Grace was talking about. Don’t be aggressive with your gums (like I used to be because I was so focused on the tooth). Bend the floss around your tooth and gently slide it under the gum line. You have to gently disturb the bacteria so that it won’t grow (if you stir a Petri dish every day, the bacteria won’t grow as fast or as much if you were to just leave it alone). I used to use thick floss (at the recommendation of the hygienist but that stuff never would have fit under my gums anyway) but now I use Glide floss. I also switched to an electric brush-it’s more effective, it tells you when you’re pushing too hard, and it doesn’t let you brush too little or too much. I wish the dentist’s office had cared about teaching correct technique before it was too late. It was always “you’re doing great. Keep it up” right up until I suddenly had problems. So frustrating, especially since I went every 6 months my entire life. Also, going to a periodontist is a revelation. Don’t even bother asking for a referral from your dentist. Just go to the periodontist. Dentists specialize in teeth (cavities, etc) but periodontists specialize in the soft tissue. We go to other specialists like dermatologists, so why not go to gum specialists? Why are we relying so much on dentists?

[@IzzyT.C]

This was great advice. I've been scared of the dentist since I was young and now at 35 I know its not getting better or easier, if anything Im paying for my younger selfs mistakes now.

[@barbara-se3yh]

I literally screenshotted this for future reference. Great advice. Thank you

[@jackferreira2028]

As a dental student I LOVED the beginning of this episode! Too funny

[@Adt96]

there was an old lady who swallowed a fly was my favorite book that i would have my mom read to me over and over and over again as a child! explains so much about my brain chemistry now lol

[@Fliss8509]

I love I can watch this in Aussie my afternoon time instead of 1am or the next day! Much love girls xx

[@rachelniegelberg3071]

Ok but multiple dentists have told me that the floss picks aren’t as good as regular floss but are definitely better than not flossing so take that for what it’s worth!

[@amandahoopla]

There's a phone out there called The Light Phone that might be the exact experience you two are looking for! It's just got call & text. You can put your existing SIM card into it or use an entirely unique number. It has the same look of an ereader so it's not backlit. I haven't used it personally but I've always admired the concept! Something you can use to take a break from your smartphone but have the peace of mind that friends/family can still reach you.

[@Imberis]

Startin' off with dentist talk! I just went yesterday to get a cavity filled and I never want to do that again for the rest of my life. It didn't even hurt, it was just severely unpleasant. Also had to edit to say: I'm about the same ages as these ladies and teeth are no joke. Keep those chompers clean, kids. I'm SO grateful that my mom nagged the shit out of me as a kid to brush. Also also: I just learned the other day that some people don't know that you need to rinse after brushing! It's also important to get rid of the excess toothpaste.

[@kimismith18]

I was told you're NOT supposed to rinse and you're not supposed to drunk anything for a good 30 min after brushing!

[@AndreaLogan]

Look at us being responsible adults going to the dentist! I had a filling fixed last week after a super deep bloody cleaning. Thank you for the early upload! I woke up with acid reflux and cannot calm it down so I'm stuck sitting up and this is the only thing distracting me from the discomfort. Good luck today at your first chemo appointment, Grace!

[@AndreaLogan]

I have a flip phone on Verizon for $35 a month and a Mint Mobile number for my iphone. It's cheaper now to have two phones than it is just to have the iPhone on Verizon. The flip phone is my main number, and I forward calls from the iphone to the flip phone, mostly so I can fuck with scam callers. It's been the best thing for my mental health because my iphone lives in my purse and doesn't come out unless I need mobile tickets, banking, directions, etc. and I use the flip phone for calls and texts. It has voice to text which makes it so much nicer to use than the T9, but it's also a fidget item for me in that it satisfies that desire to press clicky buttons when I text.

[@MubinNoor]

I LOVE the flip phone idea. Only flip phone I ever had was this Motorola one, not a pebble or a razor but would love an old-school flip, just for the Sundays or days off from socials. 😌

[@beverlym5465]

I love to get my teeth cleaned. My hygienist uses a high powered water jet called an ultrasonic scaler to knock off any tartar. It works well and feels good as it hits your tooth. My oncologist required that I go to my dentist for a check up before I started chemo because I needed to be free of wounds of any kind. You two ladies always make me smile and laugh out loud. I really needed to smile today because I found out this morning that I have Covid for the second time and I feel like 💩. So thanks for brightening my day, you two are the best and I love you both.❤

[@jaimealbright1501]

My Nana in South Carolina went to get her hair done every week. And now, Louise Pentland does the same thing! She said so on her not too deep epsiode. :)

Always the best night of the week!!! I’m never so happy to have insomnia as I am when I get the notification!!!!

[@treblehearts]

god i love this podcast it genuinely makes me laugh and smile while listening!

[@MrsFooCough]

My late grandma (died in 2020) was getting her short hair permed once a month and got a wash&set every week like you said - old ladies’ scalps are very rarely oily like ours, and their brains struggle with thermal regulation so they don’t tend to sweat much either!

[@milkshakebananaz]

I start dental hygiene school soon 😂 can’t wait to clean Mamrie’s teeth in 2030

[@lookdownimthere]

One time long ago, when iPhones were still newish, my phone had died and I sat outside my friends house STUMPED on how to let her know I was there, like no one in history had ever knocked on a door before 😅 I wonder how much more of my brain has deteriorated since then 😭🤣

[@marissahoneyman]

Grace & Mamrie you guys should get a Waterpik instead of floss! It makes flossing 1000% easier and you're not having to constantly rebuy floss since it uses water! Get the one that plugs into the wall and not the travel one bc the travel one doesn't do crap for cleaning (according to my dentist not me I know nothing). Ever since I got mine I haven't gone back to normal floss 10/10 would recommend

[@rosiemujica9510]

The conversation about phones was very interesting since I was watching this episode while taking a shower to fill the silence 🙃

[@christophereric4]

okay, I got a reminder email like 3 months ago that I was already 3+ months overdue for a teeth cleaning, then had two other people in my life talk about teeth cleanings in the last couple of weeks and now less than 10 minutes into this podcast I went ahead and scheduled a dentist appointment 😂 I CAN TAKE A HINT, UNIVERSE!

[@artbencomo]

I just waited till 1AM for this and it was so worth it 😂 I love you both. 😅 You're just gold and those who don't hear you are just missing out. They're missing that part that fills the void, you're that substance we need and didn't even know we needed it. 😎 Go on with your bad selves 🤣🤘😎

[@HippoCrisis]

I can only use those floss stick things (and a specific brand of them as well) as any other floss gets entirely shredded and breaks and then i have bits of string in my teeth so it's that or nothing for me.

[@kellinomnom]

I have my phone with me all the time for entertainment, of course, but also bc I'm disabled and it's a comfort to have that safety measure with me all the time. Also, I had so many car break downs growing up and as a young adult that I will go back and get my phone when I'm driving somewhere.

[@tess6536]

You can just forward calls to a different number than your regular phone. When I was a kid my mom used to do it when we were on vacation, she forwarded the calls from our home number to her cell. Back then you just dialed a specific code followed by the number you wanted to forward your calls to, now there's a setting in your phone to do it.

[@neutral.chaotic]

also, they do make the floss sticks that don't have the coating and are lose/adjustable so just get those and then you don't have to get regular floss.

[@bryselbows]

Imagining Mamrie at the dentist, but the dental assistant is Mamrie in Dirty 30

[@heyitsgaby1886]

I need to get my teeth cleaned ughhhh I hate the pokes

[@charleboshoff6412]

You ladies are aways hilarious😂 thank you 🙌✨ 🔥

[@todd7558]

Did Grace just call us all stupid @ 25:05 for being a fan of this podcast? Lol

[@HelloDollies]

I bought a few of the same cup and some extra straws. I wash the cup every 3-5 days, but I switch the straws as often as I think of it. It might be gross, but it’s less gross than it could be.

[@Justanothercritic89]

The mouth guard story is so relatable! Stars … they’re just like us!

[@d-mossworld6972]

Well shit...I wasn't but now I'm flossing as I watch this!!! I appreciate yall! GAAH DAYUM!!!

[@anabundanceofsarcasm]

My teeth are super close together because I have the tiniest mouth (according to every dentist and orthodontist I've had) and according to my current dentist, genetically more prone to cavities which checks out. I was in the same position that I was in for a deep cleaning. Definitely didn't want any part of that. So my hygienist 3 years ago suggested a waterpik because I have such trouble flossing - the floss literally gets stuck. I started with a waterpik over lockdown and my teeth felt so clean! Even now on the off day when I'm in a rush and have to skip it it feels so weird. So on my first cleaning after starting that I had no cavities! I felt so smug. I go every 4 months because of my teeth being close and my permanent retainers behind my front teeth. Fast forward to earlier this year - I had 2 new cavities and needed 2 fillings repaired because they were 15 years old. I had gotten 1 or 2 cavities since starting the waterpik, but since they were far apart it didn't bother me. But these results were just too much for me having put all this effort in and I told her I waterpik, brush, mouthwash every day. My hygienist asked, "Do you regular floss?" And I said no because you'd think a jet of water between your teeth should get everything. She then told me a waterpik isn't enough, you need to regular floss too. I didn't say it out loud but I already spend about 10 minutes with the waterpik, actual brushing, then mouthwash. I get up early enough in the morning as it is, and I'm not getting up earlier to struggle with regular floss. If I have energy at night, then maybe. I've made peace that I'm doing what I can and cavities are just part of my life. But I'm glad I avoided the deep clean. Long story but I just related so hard to your dentist experiences. (Also I use the flossers too - kids flossers, no less, so I don't have to jam them between my teeth) On a different note, I'm a teacher and when I was teaching Transitional Kindergarten, I discovered they've made a whole series based on the old lady who swallowed a fly. They're mostly themed around holidays. I hesitantly looked at one at the library because I assumed every few pages would say, "I guess she'll die." Turns out they removed that part 😂. I got a few my for classroom and the kids loved them.

[@missmusky]

Yayyy just in time to keep me company for the last hour of work 🥰

[@pstmxlmnd]

I have a non smart phone and only 7 people have that number and I use it for 2 days of the week, and I’ve been doing that for 3 years now and it’s been amazing. Like in general my social axiety has gotten better and even on the other 5 days when I have my iphone my overall screen time has come down. I used to have an average of 10 hours a day 3 years ago and nowadays I barely get to average 2 hours a day. Like today I was on my phone for 45 minutes and I woke up at 6 am and now it’s 11pm.

[@bestintentions4249]

I turned 40 a few months ago and cracked my first tooth a few weeks later. The dentist lectured me about clenching my teeth but didn't offer any suggestions. 🤷‍♀️

[@RebekahFinley]

This is anecdotal from my own experience, witch hazel helps mosquito bites not itch! I live in Virginia so I go outside for five minutes and come back in looking like I have chicken pox. I put witch hazel on a paper towel and go over the bites and they don’t itch at all.

[@kimismith18]

You saying Lume wrong was cracking me up. 😂

[@evelynsislerable]

I just fucking love you guys - you make being 32 much easier because idk what the hell is happening

[@a-ms9760]

The smell of urine usually comes from the molecule Urea. Urea is for example a component of Polyurethane (PU), or Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). These plastics are used in certain glues and linings of backpacks. They don't smell of urine until they get wet. Maybe inform the manufacturer of the food packet and ask them to investigate their packaging.

[@neutral.chaotic]

PLEASE WASH YOUR WATER BOTTLES! one of my stepdad's friends literally died because he never washed his water bottle and it grew an insane amount of bacteria. so please wash your water bottles at LEAST once every other week, and I rinse and scrub it with a diluted bleach/water mix and then rinse with super hot water really well.

[@kari_linn123]

My dentist said the same thing about floss 🙄 She said glide floss has the same coating and suggested I use CocoFloss

[@emilychen886]

Mamrie, you can easily do call forwarding to a flip phone or lite phone!

[@Travelwiththetwins]

Just wanted to remind you about call forwarding. In the settings on your phone, you can forward your calls to another phone number (your flip phone).

[@PfreshLim]

This couldn't be more of a relatable episode, pee pee smells and bloody teeth. lol My aunt used to get her hair set every week then sleep on a special pillow so her hair wouldn't get messed up all week. Oh the memz this pod brings up.

[@IzzyT.C]

Maby someone else already noticed but at 30:58 when Mamrie says "fingers crossed" and she crosses them, she also crosses her little fingers too. I tried and nearly broke mine..

[@firelord301]

PUNKT is a smart dumb phone that you can tether to your iPhone and use it for calls and texts. Slightly expensive but perhaps a good weekend option. OR some newer wireless landline phones lets you connect by Bluetooth to keep your phone away.

[@stevereber3358]

One of the new star trek's had then traveling back and forth in time, and the future future show the regular future you don't have to flip open the communicators anymore. and the line is "But that's the best part..."

[@hiVanderLinden]

I am late to this but i had a similar dentist feeling when she was scanning my mouth with like a big wand & it was creating a 3D model of my mouth. I joked that i felt like this was the closest i would get to a baby ultrasound & then we both couldnt stop giggling for the rest of the scan 😂

[@jordynalexis93]

My hygienist uses Cocofloss and got me hooked on it!

[@MrsFooCough]

Look out for interdental brushes, girls gays and theys. They’re much better than flossing! The bristles (both nylon or silicone) get around the root of the tooth at the gum line very well!

[@ritakrill6211]

GRACEEE TRY COCO FLOSS IT IS THE BESTTT

[@pamlovesharvy]

23:46 I heard that the guy who was on that jury show really had some mental effects afterwards. Like for weeks after he kept questioning whether he was still on some tv show. I’m already super paranoid too so I could only image the effects of that. Tv is wild.

[@purpleamber1]

Jury Duty was the real life Truman Show. It's absolutely cruel and I refuse to watch anything to do with it. Cherry on top is douche face James Marsden being a part of it. Never liked his characters and now I get to not like him for his involvement. Absolutely CRUEL.

[@WhisperRunner]

my dentist tried to sell me on a night guard. also that i had a beginning of a cavity but they didn’t show me a picture or x-ray or something like my usual dentist did with my first one 10 years ago. after i got home i decided to not go through with either. will reevaluate my next visit.

[@kheleesi108]

Hate the dentist, but I finally figured out one thing to make it slightly more bearable: i tell them i need to have control over the smaller sucker because they never get it all and i feel like im gonna choke on all the water theyre adding

[@allanvanuga9196]

Great video.

[@neitan6891]

I’ve had the same thought about flip phones before! I wish two phones could share the same number

[@zmythos]

Interesting that Mamrie thought the Skinny Pop smelled like urine. I've actually experienced the reverse .. as in pee that smelled like popcorn, which was confusing because I hadn't had any recently at those times (also I know that's not how digestion works anyways but idk).

[@sarahwilliamsen-et2ny]

My mouth guard also broke in half and I only had the top right for YEARS. My dentist always wanted me to bring it in to get it cleaned and I just avoided it forever. I had so much shame!!! Also, the pickers don’t do anything?! What the fuck.

[@anastasiaroe7181]

you just need a sticker line. then we can make anything branded merch. dental floss. pond filled water bottles. mics to bust teeth on. the options are endless! p.s. dogs get heartworm disease from mosquitoes, so be sure to keep them on preventatives. There is treatment but it is months long and expensive, so long as you catch it in time.

[@kirstyr6945]

I asked Chat GPT to write the opening of a podcast in the style of Grace Helbig and Mamrie Hart. Buckle up, Buttercups. [Upbeat, catchy music intro] Grace: "Hey everyone, it's your digitally dysfunctional fave, Grace Helbig!" Mamrie: "And it's me, the one and only, Mamrie Hart, here to sprinkle a dash of chaotic charm on your day!" Grace: "Welcome back to [Podcast Name], the only podcast where you're guaranteed to learn absolutely nothing, but will definitely leave with a weird story or two." Mamrie: "Or three! Depending on how many cocktails we've had." Grace: "True that! Today, like every other day, we're here with questionable advice, wacky stories, and the banter that only two pals who've seen each other's worst Instagram pics can provide." Mamrie: "And trust me, Grace's are WORSE. Remember that one with the-" Grace: "NO! Let's not go there right now, Mames. Save it for the deep dive segment, where we can sufficiently embarrass ourselves." Mamrie: "Fair enough. But you guys are in for a treat! Buckle up, buttercups, and let's dive into today's whirlwind of ridiculousness!" Grace: "Alright, alright, enough preamble! Let’s get this digital disaster started!" [Music fades out]

[@lillysfashun953]

I move around my floss picks to reach the sides of my teeth

[@lillysfashun953]

I feel like if you only have water in it doesn’t need to be washed THAT often as long as you don’t let the water sit still for too long

[@stevereber3358]

Mamrie, there is a special kind of floss holder, but you have to save it in the band of your baseball cap on airplanes.

[@Mitch6697]

Grace and Mamrie you should invest in a water flossier ! a lot better than flossing with string

[@FennKNyen]

Marie could just get a flip phone and a small tablet for "smart device" features. Just turn the tablet off when you want down time. That's basically what I ended up doing, and I have a much healthier relationship with social media now. Also, during those quiet "just pumping gas moments" people would just reflect on life, and hopefully learn from past experiences or have the hum sound of a microwave operating in their brains. One or the other, mostly 😅

[@Liz-bt2sk]

I watched jury duty and loved it but am I the only person that remembers the 2003 show Joe Schmo? Same concept except it was a "reality show" where everyone is an actor except for one guy who thinks it's all real!

[@defaultuser1447]

I was going to mention that, but thought I'd check comments first (radical idea, I know).

[@defaultuser1447]

Ha, looking up the Wikipedia on that, one of the actors was Kristen Wiig.

[@BaileySuttonMusic]

YES! I watched Joe Schmo. And was actually rewatching it recently. Surprisingly few people know about this show, and I really feel like they pulled off the whole "everyones an actor except for one guy" concept so much better. I often forgot that was even the premise of the show in jury duty because i feel like they acted almost too well lol

[@moyaxoxo5923]

I think next week should be skinny pop taste / smell test. Maybe not all the flavours smell like piss. Imo that is means to not eat a product. And you shouldn’t trust a product that lasts that long in a bag on a shelf especially cuz there’s air in it! Most chip bags are half air . They didn’t use special popcorn piss air 😂….
