So full disclosure - Michelle sent this to me and I havent listened to it yet except to make sure there were words actually spoken out loud and recorded. I did hear a part where someone was doing an imitation of something that happened or someone, and then they screamed and then everyone started laughing. I also heard someone (I think it was Daniel??) say "well most people suck"... I am sure there is context for it but you have to listen to get it! I am going to go out on a limb here and say that this is a pretty good episode. Also, I assume that since Linda Miller of PDT fame, Daniel Lopez of internet trolling of dentists fame, and Emily Boge of the Boge 513 fame were all there, they probably make an appearance on the episode somewhere and good times were had by all. With Love, Andrew PS - Dont expect real show notes to be added later. PPS - Unless Michelle threatens my life, but even then... dont hold your breath. PPS - Thanks for listening!

RDH UNDER ONE ROOF – The Superbowl of Hygiene Conferences No interview today! Congrats to Andrew's best friend Todd and his wife Heather on their new baby! Andrew is not a terrible father - kinda Why you should sit in first class while your children sit in coach A break down of the previous episode What would an ATOTH behind the scenes, bloopers reel, or after show look like Andrew makes threats to Emily Boge as well as Carlos, Peter, and Kara Michelle and her friend crashed their boat while still on land… #talent More craziness ensues Come have coffee with Michelle and MouthMate – look for the invitation here and be sure to RSVP! https://www.facebook.com/aTaleOfTwoHygienists/

Andrew wasn't able to record this week so Michelle found her some friends- new and old- and brought them on for this week's episode. Michelle is also really annoyed that Andrew fibbed about his b-day and because of that she is auditioning other guygienists. She doesn't hide her annoyance on this week's episode. Oh Michelle, always the dramatic one. Michelle and the wonderful and smart Kara Vavrosky- better known as Kara, RDH- catch up and talk about how much fun they are going to have at RDH UOR. Don't forget to come find Michelle and Andrew for your chance to be on the podcast! Today's interview is with Carlos Rodriguez, RDH. He is a guygienist/comedian. He is bringing his act onto the speaker circuit and Michelle has no doubt there will not be a dull moment in his presentations! Michelle doesn't behave herself in this podcast so if you are easily offended, maybe this isn't the one for you. She just can't behave herself when she gets around funny people! Instead of the segments this week, Michelle brought another guygienist on the podcast, Peter Gangi. He has been in the dental profession for 20+ years and comes from a family of dentists. He is an educator, hygienist, and has had many roles in ADHA. He has a great message for students/new grads/ seasoned hygienists. Michelle is shocked at all these male hygienists who have been practicing for years! Peter is also vying for Andrew's job as co-host. Watch out Andrew.

In addition to talking to one of our favorite people, Sarah Thiel, we talk about giving out FREE CE for the podcast and what kind of things count for CE! A Tale of Two Hygienists has been working with CE Zoom for the last almost year to iron out a way to provide CE to all of you awesome listeners. It's a thank you for hanging in there with us as we keep working on our little project. The CE will NEVER cost you, the listener money. EVER! We will continue to develop this and hopefully have it ready to launch later in the year. Until then, please help us up the number of downloads by telling your friends about this podcast.

Welp, we did it again. Royally screwed up with things. The SD card holding the interview got shattered so we have ZERO interviews from ADHA. BUUUUUT since we have the other parts of this episode recorded, we decided to release it anyway. We will have the episode with Jenny Berge if the company we sent the card to can salvage it but if not, we will get her again on a different episode.

DISCLAIMER: Please note that Michelle and Andrew are amateurs and this information is new to the both of them. There are plenty of missteps throughout this interview. We hope that this can be a learning session for everyone, and that we can all continue to work together to be kind to one another. Andrew and Cassandra grew up together and Cassandra is a member of the Trans community. We discussed "Dead Naming" and name selection We discuss her childhood and when she felt "wonkadoodle" We talk about body issues and high school We continue through her first 4 years of undergrad at University of Washington (U-Dub) and then follow her to Law School at LSU! She explains about buying hormones online and how that's not safe and unrelated health issues. When people make mistakes with their words towards a transgender person, how much grace is given or should be expected? Which words or phrases should be avoided at all costs? What are some dental considerations we need to be aware of? We discover new terms!!! http://transhealth.phsa.ca/ https://www.vox.com/2015/2/18/8055691/transgender-transgendered-tnr https://www.glaad.org/reference/transgender If you have questions for Cassandra, PM us on Facebook and we will pass the question along and get back to you!

Disclaimer - This is less about dental hygiene and more about real life so if you are into the podcast because you are such a dental nerd, this one might be a harder listen!

Andrew sits down with Sandy Lee and Mike during Chicago Midwinter and just catch up. We talk about so many things. Andrew tries to convince Sandy to start her own podcast and then things unravel quick! Enjoy this one!
