Brian Wilson and I had a rowdy show to start 2024. In his introduction, Brian tagged me as “the only writer today with a vacancy sign on his 12-year molar, and recent recipient of the American Dental Association’s first annual Happy Tooth Award.”
I parried with a Monty Python parrot — the best known Python sketch involving a guy conned to buy a dead parrot. Big chunk of filling & tooth fell out (damned expensive steak on New Year’s). But that tooth had a root canal 30 years ago, so it was already dead.
Brian replied, “I was just afraid that it was just another way of Germany getting even with you.”
I conceded: “Well, I didn’t have a lot of anesthetic for that root canal from the family dentist….. Hey, I don’t want to sound bitter.”
After a cameo reference to the movie “Marathon Man,” we plinked lines from my “Zestiest Zingers of 2023” roundup.
Here’s Brian’s summary of the program — which you can listen to at the Brian Wilson Writes Substack – and plenty of other places
