Show notes
Years before COVID and the whole "Very Dental" thing, the Dental Hacks would show up at the Chicago Midwinter and record at a booth! This was a sound check from some years ago that I think is one of the funnier things we ever did! I hope you enjoy! The original show notes: I promised Jason that I wouldn’t put this one out. Promise broken. Jason and Alan decided to do an impromptu sound check podcast at the Premier Booth at the Chicago Midwinter and the result was hilarious. If we have any Russian listeners please let me apologize in advance for our horrible accent. We discuss the stuff we were excited to check out at the Midwinter, the McCormick Center security team, Jason’s discomfort with women and endodontics and Alan’s inability to fit into black lab coats.
