Hi, and thanks for joining me on Comedy Appeteasers, a special short form comedy show where I get a chance to share some funny material in a short amount of time. And I have a treat for you. Been to the dentist? Well, when you're a stand up comic and you go to the dentist, you end up with some material either way, right? So a good friend of mine out of Tennessee, Mac Dryden, used to be part of the comedy team, Mac and Jamie. They had the tv show comedy Break. Huge success. Mac has gone solo. He's not only a very talented public speaker and an author, but he's doing a solo comedy career. And this material is taken from one of his shows, so I know you enjoy it. In fact, look for him on dry bar comedy. That's Mack Dryden on dry bar comedy. Okay. All right, Mac. Seth, the dentist. And here's how it goes. Enjoy.

Of course, the older we get, the more health issues we have to deal with. Of course, I had to get a crown in recently. And for those of you who have not had that unique delight yet, it's a much bigger project than getting a cavity filled. First of all, they have to grind away about a half an acre of your skull, and so they have to deaden you completely from the third rib all the way up. All the way. Otherwise, you know, halfway through the procedure, you would reach up on that tray and grab a shark thing and just can't take this. And so when I walked out of there, I mean, you know how you feel? It's just. Oh, my head. I couldn't feel anything. My head felt like a pot roast kind of balanced on my shoulder. My tongue felt like a two pound salami in a wool sock. So when I got in my car, I wanted to get home as quickly and safely as I possibly could, get into my PJ's and start that bourbon iv, you know? And so I get two blocks, and I realize school has just let out, and I'm behind the school bus. Oh, boy, I'm getting stained watching other people's lumbering, sluggish children taping their time. And across the street, I'm ready to blow. And finally, they take a right. Get out of the way. And I left a little editorial comment. Yeah, he got me. I mean, right away. Pulled me right over to license registration. He said, mister Dryden, do you realize you were in a school zone when you popped that little wheelie back there? No, sir. I'm so sorry. That was just a really stupid thing to do. But, of course, what came out was, I'm gonna walk with it. He said, excuse me. And I'm thinking, you know, instead of that dental floss and the toothbrush they gave me, they should have given me a card that said, I've just come from the dentist, and my mouth is really numb. But of course, I had to tell him. But I. Bleh, bleh. My mouth was really dub. He said, have you been drinking?

I said, no, no, no.

I thought on stone cold stone home, cold slope over. Look, I got a crown. I got a crown. He said, would you step out of the car, please, sir? I'm thinking, oh, great. If he makes me touch my nose, I'll make a. I won't feel it. I'll make a total mess of that. He did a hitscape. I'm getting out of the car. He's back there directing traffic around us, you know, and I'm getting out, and I noticed that I've got a two foot spit rope, handkerchief, an old t shirt. Anything? Nothing. I got. I got a white one on my jeans, you know, so I'm doing that. He says, keep your hands where I can see them. He said, what's that? And I wanted to say, freshwater taffy. You want a little bit? That would have made it worse, you know. I said, it's in my belt with really dove. And he said, did you just come from the dentist? I said, yes. And I hit him right under the badge with that glob. I couldn't believe it. And I recently. I'm trying to wipe it off. I'm horrified. And that's when he pulled out the nightstick, caught wang top of my head, and I didn't feel the damn thing. Oh, man. Is that all you got? Those tasers are impressive, though, aren't they?
