So, okay, a number of years ago, you know I've spent a lot of money on my teeth. I had braces as a teenager and then I had Invisalign as an adult and a lot of money on these teeth. Yeah. Recently, they're on the move again.

Even though I wear a retainer at night, they're on the move again. What, like tectonic plates? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Slow move. Slow move, slow move. The biggest culprit being my front tooth here. And I reckon any day now, it's going to come out.

Your front tooth? Yeah. What do you mean? So a number of years ago, I went to the dentist and I got an X-ray and she was like, holy moly, this tooth out. Your front tooth? Yeah. What do you mean? So a number of years ago, I went to the dentist and I got an x-ray and she was like, holy moly, this tooth,

my left front tooth, the root is really short and they think it's from when I got hit in the face of the golf club, a bit of trauma on that side and the tooth didn't develop properly. So it's like...

So you might need like an implant. I can wiggle it so hard. Like it's always been wiggly. Oh no, no, no. And now I'm just trying to time the day that my tooth falls out. Oh, what the fuck? Okay, that's not ideal.

Now do I just bite into an apple? Because if I just go and voluntarily do this, it's going to cost me like $10,000. I need... $10,000? How much are tooth costs? So you get an implant implant screwed into your gum permanently rather than having a plate or something? Do they use a Phillips or a flathead?

I hope it's a Phillips so I can remove it. Yeah, but you know, sometimes they use those hexagonal... Whatever that thing is, and you can't get the screw out. No, you can buy the... Can you? Allen key. There's an Allen key for that, but then there's those... Tack? Is that what it's called? key for that, but then there's those... Tack?

Is that what it's called? I don't know. I don't know. Well, anyway, I can feel, because it's moving and obviously something's happening in there, that it's getting so loose. You remember when you were a kid and your tooth was going to come out and it would wobble, wobble, wobble, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, and then it would just be like... Yeah. I know.

And I reckon I'm an apple away from it coming out. So now I'm like... She's on the mushy food. She's like grandma in the home. I know, but I sort of just need an accident. I sort of just need to get too excited. Right. Hit the mic or something or whack it at the gym.

The key is if you're going to commit ACC fraud is not to talk about it on... I wouldn't. It's not fraud. One of New Zealand's top-ranking podcasts. Yeah. It's not ACC fraud One of New Zealand's top-ranking podcasts. Yeah. It's not ACC fraud. I'm just – I mean, you pay tax.

Is it fraud if you pay tax? Yeah. You know, like, is it, though? Because it's your money, right? But I can feel it wobbling against my bottom tooth. Yeah, right. What's going to knock it out? A Torx head screws the one with the star shape.

Oh, you found that. I found that. When my dentist told me this, that she was like, that tooth won't last your life because it's too short. It's going to get knocked out or something. And I was like, but I work in the media. I was like, I can't just have my front tooth missing. Imagine a tonight on the Great Kiwi Bake Off.

And she's like, howdy tooth missing. Howdy old, now we making cakes and biscuits. She was like, well it will just all come down to timing of when it would happen. Wow. So now I feel,

I can feel it wiggling, I can feel it hitting against my other tooth and I'm like, when's it going to hit? Well this tooth is coming out. I can feel it. I don't like this.

Should we tie a piece of string to it and you shut the door Vaughn? Part of me just wants to do that because the root's short, it wouldn't hurt. Didn't you fire one of your daughter's teeth out with an arrow? With a Nerf gun. Yeah. Yeah.

And another one with a dog. The dog took off. I turned around the dog and they were like, come here. And the dog went, and just like launched and just out it came. Oh my God. Okay, we'll get the dog on it. No, but then it's not an accident. Okay, I've got to wait for this.

I've got to wait to knock my mouth. Maybe go abseiling next week. Yeah, I might just get really adventurous. Yeah. Or every time be like, oh, I'm having so much fun and just have my teeth out sort of like,

oh, just waiting to get hurt. Go to a boxing class at the gym and when everyone's punching the bag, just like when they got a punch, you just put your head in front of them. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want the rest of my face to get hurt. I just need the tooth to come out.

Oh, yeah, but I'm just might as well get a few teeth my face to get hurt. I just need the tooth to come out. Oh, yeah, but I'm just... You try to injure your tooth, but you end up, like, rubbing your nose. Smash the cheekbones. Yeah.
