8:00

and you will have to have it removed or

8:03

we can abort the procedure. And I was like.

8:05

Oh wait, so there's a chance they could put

8:07

in the post and it's just like not great

8:09

for the nerve situation. And then they'd have to

8:11

go back and remove it? Right,

8:13

yeah. I mean, there could have been, there's

8:16

a chance that it would be fine though.

8:18

Yeah. But I was like, I

8:20

don't, I can't proceed with how this is feeling.

8:22

So we stopped and I got up

8:24

to go, you know, schedule like

8:26

follow-up appointment or whatever. And

8:28

I like kind of like

8:31

collapsed in the lobby and

8:33

nearly lost consciousness. It

8:35

was no fun. I had

8:37

to beg them not to bring the

8:39

ambulance, which my wife scolded me for

8:42

later, but I really

8:44

didn't want the ambulance. And

8:46

it just felt like that was not what I wanted

8:48

at that time. Was this in

8:50

any way related to the Passout you had

8:53

on that international flight? Like, is this a

8:55

thing that you do? It is,

8:57

yeah. That is called a

8:59

vasovagal syncope. Yeah. And I

9:02

think probably that was

9:04

what was happening, but I didn't quite

9:06

go under this time. But

9:08

so they like wouldn't let me leave.

9:10

And they like, I mean, you know, that was

9:12

smart of them. Like I shouldn't have left, but

9:14

they like bought me a smoothie.

9:17

They had a smoothie delivered. And

9:19

I sat in one of the

9:21

dentist chairs and just like did the crossword

9:23

puzzle for an hour. And

9:26

yeah, it was a day.

9:29

And then, you know, went home and I've just

9:32

been in like agonizing pain for the last few

9:35

days, despite taking the like

9:37

horse pill size ibuprofen and

9:39

Tylenol and being really

9:41

ginger with myself. So the

9:43

plan from here is what? To go

9:45

back for a third time to complete

9:47

whatever this is or what? No,

9:50

it's incompletable. They have

9:52

told me like, make

9:54

your piece with your tooth, it's

9:56

gonna fall out. Huh? Yeah.

9:59

I mean, there were other reasons. why this

10:01

was getting more complicated, which I won't go

10:03

into just for, nobody needs

10:05

to get all the

10:07

details, reasons. Have you seen many dentists

10:09

for this? Have you gotten a second

10:12

opinion? Oh yeah. I've

10:14

seen orthodontists on both coasts, Adam.

10:17

I mean, like this was something that like I toyed with

10:19

doing in my twenties and

10:21

my thirties, but now that I'm 40, it was like

10:23

it's go time. As

10:26

your friend and someone who thinks

10:28

protective thoughts of you, I can't

10:31

help but dislike a smoothie

10:33

dentist for you in

10:35

this moment. It's going to be hard

10:37

for me to trust that person with

10:40

your care. I'm worried that I've

10:42

become guy that needs to be

10:44

put under general anesthetic to go

10:46

to the dentist now because it

10:49

was really genuinely upsetting. I mean,

10:51

you're definitely get a ride home

10:53

from any of these procedures guy,

10:55

you know, that sucks. Yeah.

10:58

From now on, for sure. Can't be my

11:00

own chauffeur. Well,

11:03

it feels awful to know that my friend

11:05

has gone through such pain

11:08

over the course of his

11:10

many days, but I do want to tell you, I'm here

11:13

to inflict more pain on you. I

11:15

told you this over text before we began, like,

11:17

are you sure you can record

11:19

today and you're like, yeah, no problem. And I'm like,

11:22

I want to make you fucking bleed out of your

11:24

packing. I want to make you laugh. That's

11:26

my goal. So

11:29

that's the goal today. When we talk

11:31

about this episode of Battlestar Galactica, can

11:34

I make my co-host bleed laugh? Can

11:38

the friends of DeSoto hear the sutures

11:40

tearing? Like will the laugh drown

11:42

that out or not? One of my favorite

11:45

scores to keep is like, if you can

11:47

make someone laugh enough to like spit their

11:50

drink out or something, this is

11:52

next level for me. Oh yeah. I'm

11:54

going to go hunting today. FODs.

11:58

As we talk about Battlestar Galactica. Galactica season

12:00

one episode three, best deal

12:04

day. We're

12:07

not free. They were no different than

12:09

silence. The

12:12

fleet has pulled into orbit around this

12:14

planet where they're going to get the

12:16

water and, uh, Tag

12:18

is having something to

12:20

drink, but that ain't water. Yeah.

12:23

You got to hit the breakfast bottle when

12:25

you're tag and, uh, two

12:27

shots for a growing boy. Like if I had

12:30

to guess how much of

12:32

his, his vanishing reserve of

12:34

booze he would be enjoying every morning, I

12:36

wouldn't have guessed two shots. There

12:38

he is. Two in the

12:40

morning. Wow. Yeah. Also

12:43

surprising that, uh, Colonel Tag sleep

12:46

shirtless. This is something I dabbled

12:48

in and have dabbled in on only the hottest days.

12:50

I have a real hard time with this. I

12:52

need something on my body. Otherwise

12:54

I just feel uncomfortable at night. Tag

12:57

has a bit of a hair shirt. You

13:02

know what? Tag's keeping it tight. When

13:04

I look at him, he looks good. I was, uh,

13:06

he looked better than I do. Honestly, it

13:08

seems like Tag is keeping it tight and

13:10

it may just be because he's skipping breakfast

13:13

and doing those two shots. Right. And,

13:16

uh, that's the most important meal of the

13:18

day he's having there in secret. Yeah.

13:20

So, uh, they are surveying this planet.

13:22

They're talking about it in CIC cold

13:24

ass planet. It's going to be a

13:26

bitch to work down there, sir. Cheer

13:28

up. You know how lucky we are.

13:30

We found this ugly rock water riots

13:32

breaking out all over the fleet. Got

13:34

water, salty water, but

13:37

the ice above that water

13:39

is pure. And

13:42

so they're like, how are we going to

13:44

get this pure, delicious ice water? Uh,

13:46

and what they talk about

13:48

is, uh, Hey, we got that, that ship

13:50

that's loaded with hardened criminals. We should get

13:52

them to do it. I mean,

13:54

chief Tyrell and Cali look at each other and they're

13:57

like, this is kind of like a. Conair.

1:10:00

act of contrition, a crisis

1:10:02

forces commander Adama, Leodama

1:10:05

and Cara Thrace to

1:10:07

finally faced a ghost from their past, the

1:10:10

late Zac Adama. Whoa,

1:10:13

I'm always just momentarily confused

1:10:15

when I hear Cara Thrace

1:10:17

instead of Starbucks. I just

1:10:19

like using call signs. Cara

1:10:22

Thrace is not a character we've met yet. Yeah,

1:10:25

neither is Zac Adama. Interesting.

1:10:28

Zac Adama shows up with

1:10:30

bleached tips and a giant

1:10:32

cell phone. ["Winterlu"]

1:10:37

Winterlu. All

1:10:40

right, well, this has been a

1:10:43

ton of fun, Adam, but why don't

1:10:45

you hit the listeners of Greatest Trek

1:10:47

presents Hot Cylon Summer with

1:10:49

a warning block. Prepare a buoy and launch it when ready.

1:10:52

Warning, boys. An emergency

1:10:54

buoy. A warning buoy. Of

1:10:57

course, this is our segment where we shout

1:10:59

out somebody that shouted us out, show our

1:11:01

appreciation for a friend of DeSoto who went

1:11:03

out of their way to recommend our show,

1:11:06

either by reviewing us on a podcast

1:11:08

app or shouting us out on social

1:11:11

media. Really helps get us

1:11:13

up there in the old algo. The

1:11:15

algo rules everything around us, Ben. The

1:11:18

algo forced you to record

1:11:20

an episode today. I

1:11:24

like that kind of like iron taste in

1:11:26

my mouth, but the algo gives me. Yeah,

1:11:29

sometimes when I skip

1:11:31

flossing for a while and then start flossing again,

1:11:33

I'll get that taste. Well,

1:11:35

Adam, today's warning buoy

1:11:38

is from Carter Kalchick

1:11:40

on TikTok. And

1:11:43

at the end of our coverage of Discovery,

1:11:45

we had our series wrap-up

1:11:48

episode. And one

1:11:51

of the greatest things that maybe

1:11:53

ever been edited of us was Wendy

1:11:55

making a super cut of all the

1:11:57

different ways you and I referred to.

1:11:59

to Admiral the Mater D who simply

1:12:02

cannot be bribed. And

1:12:04

Carter made a TikTok video about

1:12:07

his love for that bit and through

1:12:09

to just a small sample

1:12:11

of that. Cause I think that the super cut went

1:12:13

on for minutes and minutes, but by

1:12:16

editing in different images of

1:12:19

the Admiral against different

1:12:22

ways we referred to him, really

1:12:24

made it come to life in a whole new way for me.

1:12:26

So it was a really funny

1:12:28

video and we really appreciate Carter cause

1:12:30

he's got a great big TikTok platform

1:12:32

where he talks about, you know, spicy

1:12:34

romance novels featuring boys who like

1:12:36

to sleep with boys. Well, anything

1:12:39

that helps spread the word on TikTok

1:12:42

helps us a great deal. So thanks

1:12:44

Carter for that. Carter's helping spread the

1:12:46

word and spread the cheeks and we

1:12:48

appreciate him. And we appreciate

1:12:50

anyone who gives us a social media shout.

1:12:52

If you'd like to hear your words coming

1:12:54

out of our mouths, you know

1:12:56

what to do. Post about us on socials

1:12:59

or leave a nice review on Apple podcasts

1:13:01

or whatever pod catcher you use. Yeah.

1:13:04

And we'll launch that warning out

1:13:06

far and wide. Ben, I'm so

1:13:08

glad we could record today. I

1:13:10

hope you're feeling better. Hope you

1:13:12

continue to feel better as we go.

1:13:15

I know the FODs are out there pulling

1:13:18

for you. Thanks, dude. The sooner you can

1:13:20

get back to a hundred percent, the

1:13:22

sooner I can get

1:13:25

back to hearing big laughs on

1:13:27

this show, which

1:13:29

is really the whole reason I do this. It's

1:13:34

been a long week. I'm very glad

1:13:36

we could get one

1:13:38

recording done. Yeah. Yeah,

1:13:41

I did not expect it to

1:13:43

be the way that it was and

1:13:46

much appreciation to you and Wendy and

1:13:48

Rob and everybody over here at Expert

1:13:50

Shimoda for bearing with me in my

1:13:54

confolescence. But for now, take

1:13:56

it away, Wendy.
