There was a lot of preparation. We have the basic CE courses, because a lot of people like to come here to get CE. We've got phenomenal speakers. So, you can come here, you can have fun and see all the wow moments that we put in, but you can get a good education too. You can learn new techniques, new materials, new supplies, and new equipment. A lot of people like that. We're always in a great destination.” (1:24—1:55)“[The NASA mini museum is] one of the wow moments we have. They brought a mini museum from NASA. They brought the moon rock . . . One of the lounges has a little NASA mini museum. We had to pay to get it here from NASA about 30 miles away. I said, ‘I think we can swing that.' We had to get a little security for it. And so, that's a wow moment. You can come see that and be part of NASA. Leland Melvin is going to be our keynote, an astronaut that went from the NFL to an astronaut. Think about that. You don't see that much. Super, super nice guy.” (3:16—3:56)“We wanted to create some FOMO. Why aren't you here?” (4:13—4:16)“Another vision we had was Street Fest. I thought, ‘We're going to be in this building for two days. Let's get outside. It's October. It's in Houston. The weather is going to be great.' So, we're going to close the street down in front of the George R. Brown Convention Center. We're going to have a stage set up and have a live band . . . We're going to close the street and have food trucks come in, and you can go to different food trucks and get the cuisine of Houston. I've been down here six times in the last year-and-a-half. I've never had a bad meal. It's...

Quotes: “To me, to go to an annual meeting, to go to SmileCon, you go there to reconnect and to connect. And if you don't go to these, be it the ADA or any of them, you're missing out.” (10:03—10:13) “We have 120 presentations at SmileCon this year over three days. So, there's not going to be anything that you can't hear and learn about.” (10:17—10:24) “I go to meetings a lot of times to learn from my colleagues. Now, most of these speakers are our colleagues because they're doing it too. But that's what I think a lot of people that don't routinely go to meetings [miss out on], whether it's state, local, or national. That's what I get out of going to a lot of meetings.” (10:45—11:04) “If there's something you want to learn about, you need to be at SmileCon this year. It's going to be a great show for everyone, regardless of why you're going.” (11:50—12:00) “All dental meetings will have this. We've called ours Dental Central with SmileCon — and it is. It's a central place that we can all go, and we can learn, and we can meet. And there will be some fun stuff there to play with too. And then, after it's all over, we can smile on what a great experience [it was].” (15:48—16:04) “It's going to be great. We're looking forward to seeing everybody and reconnecting. And I think that's the thing that you need to think about. It's the relationships that make the world turn around. And so, that's what's good about it.” (23:03—23:14) Snippets: 0:00 Introduction. 2:32 The vision for ADA SmileCon 2022. 9:52 What to expect at ADA SmileCon. 12:17 Participate in the Dental Olympics. 15:21 Experience Dental Central. 21:46 Last thoughts on SmileCon.

Bobby Thomson and Ralph Branca became inextricably linked 70 years ago this week when the former turned around a fastball from the latter and hit a three run walkoff homer that completed a Cinderella comeback to the game and season, and gave the Giants the 1951 National League pennant. Mike and Bill look back at both men, their lives, and the moment that they shared, including whether Thomson came by his homer fairly. Plus, happy birthday to Bob Skinner and Wally Moses!

Bob was diagnosed with AIDS on June 26th of 2000 which was his 50th birthday. Soon after that he moved from the east coast to Oregon, where he found Valley AIDS Information Network (VAIN) as a source of information that he needed so he could learn about this disease that he will most likely live with for the rest of his life. Bob first became a volunteer at VAIN, then he was asked to be a board member.  He has since been the President/CEO now for the last 10 years. Bob was also the Community Co-chair for the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) HIV/AIDS Statewide Planning Group for over 3 years. He is also an avid national HIV/AIDS Educational Speaker, last year alone Bob reached over 2,700+ students of all ages in local schools and universities. Bob also is a Master Trainer through Stanford’s Positive Self-Management Program, also known as Living a Healthy Life with HIV. He is also the On-Site Dean for Strength for the Journey which is an HIV/AIDS Retreat for up to 80 HIV Positive attendees, that is held every year in the beautiful mountains of Oregon. Anytime Bob has the opportunity he is educating the community and putting a face to this disease. Bob always thanks whatever group or individual he is talking to and tells them that since they have taken the time to listen to him and ask questions, they have just become advocates and that he hopes that all will share this information they have just received, to their peers, family and friends. He always asks them to please tell people that HIV/AIDS is not over yet and to know their status.  Yes, we have made some incredible steps in seeing the end of this disease, but we still have a long way to go. Bob witnessed the beginning of this disease, and his dream is to see the end of HIV and AIDS.

Founder of Mitchell & Ness Nostalgia Company, Peter Capolino. We talk about Peter's family and its relationship to sports. Peter's father, Sisto - later renamed James, by original founders, Frank Mitchell and Charles Ness - began work with Mitchell & Ness (1917), at just 13 years of age. In the early 1950s, Sisto purchased the business, bringing Peter into the fold. Peter describes the meticulous research conducted, allowing Mitchell & Ness to produce such high quality, throwback uniforms. Countless hours were spent, combing through archival newspapers, visiting libraries, museums and numerous sporting halls of fame. We discuss the advances in technology and its impact on how the business manufactured apparel. In 1998, Peter was asked to recreate the history of the NBA (Hardwood Classics), as he had done with MLB's Cooperstown Collection. Peter discusses how he obtained licences for each professional league (including the NFL and NHL), allowing him to produce historically-accurate uniforms. Just before the turn of the millennium, Mitchell & Ness Nostalgia Company's profile exploded, thanks is large part to links with hip-hop and rap artists. Peter shares some stories about Big Boi and André 3000 (Outkast), plus the classic background behind the improbable link between one of his favorite footballers, Sammy Baugh, and Jay Z. Peter also elaborates on the deal he struck with Michael Jordan, getting the licence and exclusive rights to reproduce MJ's Chicago Bulls jerseys. Sports Illustrated has published three-prominent features - Baseball Flannels are Hot (1987), Throwback Hip-Hop Style Points (2002) and Rockin' the Retros (2003) - on Mitchell & Ness Nostalgia Company. Peter sold Mitchell & Ness Nostalgia Company to Adidas, in 2008 - continuing to work for them, a further four years - and still consults with the company today. This conversation is a must-listen for fans of any major-league sport. People mentioned in this episode, include: Tom Gola, Connie Simmons, Bill Russell, Rick Barry, Bill Walton, Richie Ashburn, Dale Murphy, Nolan Ryan, Allen Iverson, Wilt Chamberlain, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, Roy Sievers, & Bob Skinner.
