We said 2025 might be the year of the port, but 2026 is shaping up to steal that title. Tom, Lewis and Jaz are rounding up the latest news on the usual new indies, fan translations and online revivals, but the current star is undoubtedly the abundance of new and upcoming fan ports making their way to the console. We've got Nintendo favourites like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Wave Race 64, Sega all-stars such as Sonic R and Panzer Dragoon, and the first examples of fan-made NAOMI ports coming to the Dreamcast.

Ever wondered what it's really like to study dentistry abroad?How different is it to train in Bulgaria, Slovakia, or Valencia compared to the UK?And what happens when it's time to come back home — can you easily register with the GDC and start practicing?Dr. Hugo Medd joins Jaz for an honest and insightful conversation about taking the path less traveled — studying dentistry in Bulgaria after not securing a UK dental school place.They dive into the realities of living and learning abroad, including language barriers, different teaching styles, and how much clinical experience international students actually get. Hugo also shares how he navigated GDC registration, what it's like finding work after graduation, and why he has no regrets about choosing this unconventional route.Highlight of this episode:00:00 TEASER01:21 Introduction02:49 Meet Dr. Hugo Medd: A Journey to Bulgaria06:09 Financial Considerations and Support Systems09:56 Why Bulgaria?

Jaz Sloane had never run when she signed up for an Ironman. Ten months later she won her age group at Busselton and qualified for Kona. The year that followed was the most chaotic of her life, and she made the podium at the world championship anyway. In this episode Jaz and I discuss the challenging last 12 months; a breakup after five years, getting hit by a car in March, training in a sling, moving cities, house hopping because she could not find a rental, and building a whole new group of friends while she did it. She reckons she is good at positive reframing, and the interesting part is that she had to learn it. She spent two years and real money on mindset work before she started her business as a coach, and that is what carried her through. We also talk about the eating disorder she had in year eight and the trainer who pulled her out of it, why she signed up for a full Ironman with no background in running or cycling, what she does on the days she is not motivated, and why consistency is the most important thing.

When you walk through the door after work, are you actually present or are you still running the day's to-do list in your head?Is there ever a “good” time to have a baby in the middle of specialist training and how do you fund it?How do the best dentist-parents you know protect time with their kids without their careers stalling?And can technology actually give you hours back — or is that just another thing to feel guilty about?This is one for the dads. In this Interference Cast episode, Jaz sits down with Dr Sunny Marwaha — a dentist completing part-time specialist training in prosthodontics at Guy's, who became a father right in the middle of it. It's not a clinical episode. It's an honest conversation about doing the hardest career stretch (training, buying practices, building a name) at the exact same time you're raising young children — the sleep, the money, the guilt, and the strategies that actually help. Two dentist dads, comparing notes.What You'll Take From This EpisodePriority management, not time management — Decide what this season of life is for, and protect it; priorities shift as the kids grow.Leave the day at the door — both directions — The driveway is dad mode, the clinic is showtime; you can't take work home or home to work.Run the family like a small business — Regular family meetings and a “mind like water” system can help carry the load without living in your head.Use AI to buy back time — Make use of dictated notes, auto-drafted letters, and turning papers into audio for the commute. This is leverage, not cheating.Specialise or self-direct? — An honest filter for whether a structured training pathway or private courses and mentorship suits you better.Highlights of This Episode00:00 Teaser00:42 Daddy Dentist: Balancing Fatherhood and Dentistry03:42 Should You Specialise or Learn Through Private Courses?10:12 How to Time Having Kids Around Specialist Training13:32 Paternity Leave for Dentists: What's Realistic?16:42 Funding Specialist Training With a Young Family20:02 Why Family Support Is a Privilege, Not a Given22:57 Time Management vs Priority Management23:42 The Two Moments With Your Kids That Matter Most29:12 Protecting Sleep, Fitness and Your Mental Health30:13 Midroll39:03 Top Tips for Dentist Dads41:53 Using AI to Buy Back Time for Your Family45:53 Run Your Family Like a Small Business53:33 How to Cut Kids' Screen Time (and Make It Stick)59:23 Life After Specialist Training: A Shorter Week59:57 OutroFrom the GuestDr Sunny Marwaha is a dentist completing part-time specialist training in prosthodontics at Guy's (King's College London). He's passed the MProst (Royal College of Surgeons), with his final MClinDent and GDC specialist listing still ahead. He became a dad to son Kabir midway through training; his wife Amrit is also a dentist.

Set in the summer of 2002 in Los Angeles, the story follows two sisters, Jaz and Nikki, who audition for an outrageous and wildly popular TV talent show called Star Machine.
Complete Dentures That Actually Work: Impressions, CR & AdaptationYou don't have to suck at complete dentures — there's a science to them, and an art you gather with experience.Why do complete dentures feel so unpredictable — when a crown prep or an endo doesn't?What's the number-one impression mistake dentists make — and the tissue-conditioning step most of us skip?And when a new denture comes back painful — is it the extension, or the occlusion?This one is a whistle-stop tour of complete dentures with Dr Leif Stromberg — a Dallas general dentist who learned removable prosthodontics directly from the legendary Earl Pound and has taught it for decades. Recently nominated for the Texas AGD's 2026 Texas Dentist of the Year™ Award, Dr. Stromberg brings a wealth of clinical experience, leadership and mentorship to the profession.Rather than drilling into a single appointment, Jaz put a stack of Protrusive Guidance community questions to him and covered the whole arc, from choosing the right patient to troubleshooting a painful denture at delivery. Expect breadth over depth — a lot of ground, a little from each stage — with plenty of technique, nuance and communication tips to take back to the chair.Protrusive Dental Pearl: Pick the Patient Before the DentureYou don't have to treat everyone. Before promising anything, work out whether you can meet the patient's expectations — because you can build the world's best denture and they still may not adapt to it. The single strongest predictor of success is the patient's own adaptation, not the technical quality of the prosthesis.So read the markers of adaptation. The patient who has worn a technically poor, flimsy denture happily for years — and only needs a new one because the old one is worn out — is a home run: improve the retention and stability and they'll do brilliantly, because their neuromuscular adaptation is already proven. The patient who has hated every set they've owned is the warning sign. Assess adaptation right from the first appointment; it matters more than the articulator you own.What You'll Take From This EpisodePick the patient, not just the denture — the markers of adaptation that predict success before you start.Where the teeth actually go — Pound's lingual control lines, and why “lingual” means stable.The number-one impression mistake — coverage versus overextension, plus pre-impression tissue conditioning.Records without the wobble — recording centric relation with a gothic arch tracer, and why the facebow ranks low.A painful denture at delivery — how to tell overextension from occlusal overload, and what to do about each.Highlights of This EpisodeFrom the GuestDr. Stromberg teaches the fundamentals of predictable complete dentures through a run of CE courses on Dentaltown — a five-part written series and a video series that walk through the exam, impressions, records, try-in and delivery.
Holistic, biological, functional — is there actually a difference, or is it all just marketing?Are root canals really dangerous — or is that just what the algorithm keeps showing your patients?When a patient wants their sound fillings out, do you test, reassure, or drill?And how do you bring sleep, diet and blood tests into a dental appointment without it stopping being dentistry?This episode sits down with Dr James Goolnik (https://uk.linkedin.com/in/james-goolnik)— clinical dentist, founder of the London holistic practice Optimal Dental Health, past President of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and one of Jaz's earliest mentors. James openly calls himself a holistic and biological dentist, which makes him the ideal person to separate the thoughtful, evidence-aware end of this world from the online extremism that gives it a bad name. Expect a balanced, honest conversation: some of it you'll adopt tomorrow, some of it you'll want to pressure-test — which is exactly the point.Protrusive Dental Pearl: Dentistry Isn't Just About Fixing TeethThis one isn't a clinical tip — it's a sentiment that frames the whole episode. Dentistry isn't just about fixing teeth; it's about improving health. You don't have to agree with every claim made in biological dentistry — but you will struggle to disagree that a patient's diet, sleep, breathing, stress and inflammation all influence oral health.So the pearl is simple: stay curious, stay open-minded — but stay critical, and never stop asking better questions.What You'll Take From This EpisodeThe holistic–biological spectrum — what each word actually means, and where thoughtful practice tips into online extremism.Test or reassure? — the three-question filter for deciding whether any test earns its place before you order it.Safe amalgam removal — the SMART protocol, and when a worried patient's sound filling should be left well alone.The mouth-body connection — how sleep, glucose control and systemic inflammation affect the mouth, and where to refer.The balanced take on root canals and implants — whether root canals are dangerous, and titanium versus ceramic with metal-allergy testing.Highlights of This Episode00:00 Teaser00:59 Holistic vs Biological Dentistry: What's the Difference?05:49 Why Listening Beats Perfect Margins in Dentistry10:29 Why Patients Started to Doubt Root Canal Treatment12:09 Mercury Fillings: Should You Remove Amalgam?14:09 The SMART Protocol for Safe Amalgam Removal19:59 The Mouth-Body Connection: Sleep, Diabetes & Alzheimer's24:59 How to Build Nutrition Into a Dental Practice26:25 Midroll34:01 Sleep Tests, Glucose Monitors and Blood Tests in Practice38:21 Is Biological Dentistry Dangerous? The Extremist Problem39:21 Are Root Canals Dangerous? A Balanced Take41:51 Titanium vs Zirconia Implants and Metal Allergy Testing46:51 When Removing a Healthy Tooth Becomes Negligent50:56 What Diet Should Dentists Actually Follow?53:41 How to Get Started in Holistic Dentistry56:30 OutroFrom the GuestDr James Goolnik is a clinical dentist and founder of Optimal Dental Health, a holistic practice in London built around integrating nutrition, sleep and whole-health screening into everyday dentistry. He is a past President of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, a member of the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, and the author of “Brush” (profits to Dentaid) and the “Kick Sugar” cookbook (profits to his Rewards Project charity).
Your patient is nine years old. One first permanent molar is crumbling — the others look fine. Does it stay, or does it go?Is that broken-down first permanent molar really down to poor brushing — or is it Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation?When is the right time to take a first permanent molar out — and how do you read it off the X-ray?And how do you tell a parent their child needs an adult tooth removed — without losing them?First permanent molars of poor prognosis are one of the genuine head-scratchers of general practice — full of ifs, buts and timing. In this episode Jaz sits down with Dr Nicole Sturzenbaum, a paediatric dentist and the owner and clinical director of Toothbeary in Richmond, London, to work through the whole decision: getting the diagnosis right (molar-incisor hypomineralisation versus caries), reading the extraction window off an OPG, the restorative ladder from sealant to stainless steel crown, when to bring in the orthodontist, and how to handle the conversation with anxious parents. There's no one-size-fits-all answer — but there is a clear way to think about it.Protrusive Dental Pearl: Painless Polishing for Anxious KidsThe mechanical clean is what frightens children (and plenty of adults) — the scaler, the bristle brush, the gritty prophy paste. For the polishing part, a colourless plaque-dissolving foam gel does the job without any of it. It fizzes wherever there is plaque, so you can hand the child a mirror and show them exactly where to brush; it leaves the teeth satin-smooth, reduces gingival inflammation, and is painless and non-invasive.Two caveats: it does not remove calculus — you still need a hand or ultrasonic scaler for that — and you should agitate the gel gently at the gingival margin for the full effect. It is especially useful for orthodontic and adolescent patients because it reaches the nooks around brackets, which is where post-orthodontic white-spot lesions start.Product: Magic3 (3% hydrogen peroxide, colourless plaque indicator), by Dr Wyman Chan — protrusive.co.uk/magic3.What You'll Take From This EpisodeDiagnosis first — MIH or caries? The distinction changes the plan, the prognosis and the whole conversation with the family.Reading the extraction window off an OPG — why chronological age tells you nothing, and what the second molar's bifurcation tells you instead.The restorative ladder — seal, composite, preformed metal crown, or plan the extraction: matching the least invasive option that will actually hold.When to involve the orthodontist — essential or desirable, which teeth come out, and managing the space afterwards.Getting sensitive molars numb — why MIH teeth are so hard to anaesthetise, and the comfort stack that helps.Highlights of This Episode00:00 TEASER00:59 First Permanent Molars of Poor Prognosis in Children02:51 Painless Chemical Polishing for Kids (Protrusive Dental Pearl)04:53 Meet Dr Nicole Sturzenbaum, Paediatric Dentist11:49 MIH or Caries?

Send us Fan MailJaz the Stallion & Dick HD Daily on Love, Boundaries, and Building Success in the Industry DOD Maxx and MotE Donald Perattis interview Jaz the Stallion about her two-year career, how a viral tape helped launch her, and the unexpected workload behind content creation, including editing, promotion, and managing multiple platforms herself. The conversation shifts to her off-camera life and her relationship with fellow performer D HD Daily (D Owens), including their origin as a first-collab connection that became “love at first sight,” their multiple couple-of-the-year nominations, and their focus on “love over lust.” They discuss trust, communication, and boundaries around working with other performers, defining cheating as anything off-camera that crosses agreed limits, keeping work professional, and choosing strong co-stars, while noting they are not comfortable doing scenes with other people together. They close by promoting their names and emphasizing that successful relationships and careers can coexist in the game.Thank you for tuning in.

How good is your consent for orthodontics — really? More adults are having ortho, and more GDPs are providing it. So which risks should you be discussing with every single patient — and which ones depend on the person in the chair? When a case is heading for a big overjet or a tricky rotation, is that a conversation you have at the start, or one you scramble to explain halfway through? And what actually makes a consent form legally valid — the signature, or everything around it? This episode brings together two perspectives you don't often hear in the same room. Dr Zaid Esmail is a specialist orthodontist and founder of the Online Orthodontic Academy, who mentors GDPs through fixed and aligner cases. Dr Neel Jaiswal returns for the dento-legal view — he's a dentist and the founder of Professional Dental Indemnity (PDI). Together with Jaz, they get very specific about what individualised consent looks like in practice, and how to build a process your patients remember and a court respects. https://youtu.be/YvsiIiX1Q1w Watch PDP273 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Make Your Patient Feel Unique It might be your 100th, 500th or 1,000th case — but for the patient in the chair, this is a significant event. Never forget that. A routine extraction is routine for you; for them it's a big deal, and remembering that makes you a better communicator. To make a specific risk stick, make the patient feel unique. Point to their OPG: “Your sinus here is actually really interesting,” or “Did you know your roots are unusually long?” Patients remember a risk framed as if they're a special case far better than a generic warning. Make it personal, and the consent becomes memorable. What You'll Take From This Episode The whole episode turns on one idea: generic, templated consent is no longer defensible — the skill is individualising the form to the patient in front of you. Premium members get the full breakdown; here's the shape: The layers of valid consent — consent is like an onion; a signed form and a documented conversation each cover a gap the other leaves open. Individualising risk from the records — how the OPG and photos turn a generic warning (resorption, devitalisation, recession, relapse) into a patient-specific one. The two-appointment consent flow — records, individualised risks, thinking time, and why you sign or initial every line. The Class II Div 2 overjet trap — the case that looks like simple crowding and ends in a big overjet, and how to consent for it before you start. When to treat, add an option, or refer — the GDC line on offering all options, and building alternatives into the form. Highlights of This Episode: 00:00 Teaser 01:01 Consent in Orthodontics: Why It Has to Be Individualised 02:59 Protrusive Dental Pearl: Make Your Patient Feel Unique 07:58 What Makes Orthodontic Consent Different 10:08 How Much Ortho Litigation Comes From Consent? 11:53 What Makes Consent Valid and Patient-Specific 12:26 Individualising Ortho Risk from the OPG 13:11 Using the ClinCheck as a Consent Tool 14:40 How to Structure the Consent Appointment 15:30 Root Resorption, Devitalisation, Recession and Relapse 19:37 Should You Initial Every Line of a Consent Form? 21:50 Midroll 27:11 Building a Multi-Layered Consent Process 29:31 Consenting for Fees, Relapse and Retainers 34:41 The Class II Div 2 Overjet Trap 37:51 When Should a GDP Refer an Ortho Case? 40:31 How to Learn Orthodontics with Mentorship 47:01 Outro Dr Zaid Esmail is a specialist orthodontist. He founded the Online Orthodontic Academy to teach GDPs orthodontics — assessment, diagnosis and treatment planning across fixed appliances and aligners — with one-to-one case mentorship. He's extended a 10% discount to the community with the code PROTRUSIVE.

The two-appointment consent flow — records, individualised risks, thinking time, and why you sign or initial every line. The Class II Div 2 overjet trap — the case that looks like simple crowding and ends in a big overjet, and how to consent for it before you start. When to treat, add an option, or refer — the GDC line on offering all options, and building alternatives into the form.

Recorded live at the 2026 National Planning Conference in Detroit, this special APA Podcast episode features an intimate and uplifting conversation between host Mike Johnson and NPC26 keynote speaker Jaz Ampaw-Farr— an internationally acclaimed British motivational speaker, leadership consultant, and self described "resilience ninja". Jaz earned mainstream recognition in the UK as a candidate on Series 9 of the BBC reality show The Apprentice and later via her popular TEDx talk, The Power of Everyday Heroes. Jaz recounts her challenging upbringing in foster care, the transformative impact of five teachers who believed in her, and how sharing her story led to global speaking engagements and her acclaimed book, "Because of You, This Is Me." The conversation explores practical strategies for planners to cultivate courage and resilience, including the concept of being "10% braver"—taking small, incremental steps toward positive change. Jaz emphasizes the power of courageous conversations, reframing "should" stories that hold us back, and the importance of self-care as a foundation for serving others. She also shares advice on authentic public speaking, overcoming imposter syndrome, and connecting meaningfully with audiences. Discover how empathy, engagement, and enrollment drive effective change, why acknowledging every success matters, and how planners, like runners in a relay race, contribute to a larger legacy they may never see bloom. This episode is packed with heartfelt anecdotes, practical wisdom, and a call to action for planners and everyday heroes to write their own stories and lead with authenticity.

What's the real difference between a donor who gives once and disappears and one who goes to bat for your organization in rooms you've never been in?In this conversation, I sit down with Jaz' Vick, Managing Director of Development at One Goal Georgia, a pastor, and one of the most genuinely gifted relationship builders I've ever met. We dig into what it actually means to fundraise from a place of connection instead of transaction, why assumptions about donor capacity destroy trust faster than almost anything else, and the simple habits that have made Jaz' one of the most effective development professionals in the sector. We also talk about what scared fundraising costs organizations, what great leadership actually looks like for a development team, and why the next generation of donors gives Jaz' so much hope for the future of philanthropy. This one is equal parts tactical and deeply human, and I think you'll feel it.Topics:Why transactional fundraising destroys donor trust, and what relationship-based fundraising actually looks like in practiceThe simple 10-second habit that has changed Jaz' donor relationships How to build deep donor relationships at scale without burning outWhy assumptions about donor capacity are one of the fastest ways to breach trustWhat strong ED support looks like for a development team, and what it doesn'tScared money doesn't make money: how fear-based fundraising keeps organizations stuck in the same cycleFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

On this episode, Ragnar speaks with Ana Roš, a self-taught chef from Slovenia who helms the kitchens at Hiša Franko, a world-renowned three-star Michelin restaurant in the Soča Valley. Ana's path to the kitchen was anything but traditional; a former competitive alpine skier and diplomacy student, she pivoted to gastronomy out of love, eventually being named the World's Best Female Chef in 2017. Her journey reached a global audience when she was featured on Netflix's Chef's Table, an appearance that served as a catalyst for her career and transformed her remote restaurant into a world-class destination. Ana's culinary identity is deeply rooted in the nature of her surroundings, where she transforms foraged ingredients and traditional Slovenian products into incredible tasting experiences. Beyond the fine dining of Hiša Franko, Ana is a prolific entrepreneur, recently launching the casual dining concept Jaz and Ana Roš Drinks, a line of innovative, ready-to-serve cocktails. Tune in to hear Ana's inspiring story of building a global gastronomic legacy and discover her philosophy on staying true to one's creative spirit.

after four years of never missing a Thursday, Halley and Jaz are taking their first ever summer break… and honestly, this episode feels exactly like hanging out with them one last time before everyone disappears for the season. Halley's Hampton's house is finally done, her she-shed is getting turned into a backyard bar (Reed wants to call it Bar Dog, which makes complete sense), and she had a bridal hair trial where she basically had to beg her stylist to make her look messier. all very Halley Kate Core.from there it goes where it always goes… which is everywhere. they get into childhood fears (quicksand vs. tornadoes, and a very traumatic first day of second grade), the anxiety of being drunk around influencers you don't know that well, whether a bridge collapse or a tunnel flood is technically more survivable, revisiting their most anxiety-inducing drunk moments (cracking a chin open, peeing on a street in Barcelona, and persistently offering your apartment to someone who very much did not want it); spiraling into Kendall Jenner's dating life and whether Timothée and Travis Scott have ever had a real conversation; and unearthing the most painfully cringe middle school relationship moments, including a boyfriend whose text signature read "dash I love Halley" after approximately five days of dating.in classic Delusional Diaries fashion, the girls are going out with a bang before the summer break... funny and a little sentimental, the way the best episodes always are. they'll be back in the fall with some changes… newsletter and Patreon in the meantime, but for now, h.a.g.s.

Should we still be drilling early caries lesions? Where do peptides, resin infiltration, fluoride varnish and SDF actually fit in modern practice? Is hydroxyapatite toothpaste a genuine alternative to fluoride, or just another dental trend? And when you see that suspicious grey occlusal shadow, do you seal it, explore it, or actively surveil it? In part two of this modern caries management episode, Jaz continues the conversation with Prof. Avijit Banerjee on minimal intervention dentistry. This episode moves beyond diagnosis and communication into the practical management of early and progressing caries lesions, including peptides, SDF, hydroxyapatite toothpaste, fissure sealing, xerostomia, root caries and selective caries removal. https://youtu.be/dGt7FW7C4N0 Watch PDP269 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl Use the Contemporary Caries Management Implementation Pack as a chairside aid to turn the episode into daily clinical action. ⚠️ Learning the evidence is not enough if it never makes it into your patient conversations, risk assessment or treatment planning. ✅ Print it, laminate it, and use it to support communication, diagnosis, active surveillance and minimally invasive decision-making.

It is intended as a practical summary and is not a substitute for primary sources. We strongly encourage all clinicians to consult the latest Clinical Practice Guidelines before making treatment decisions. Key Takeaways: Peptides are designed to infiltrate early enamel lesions and create a scaffold for mineral deposition. Peptide technologies still need minerals from saliva, toothpaste, mouthwash or other sources to work. Fluoride supports remineralisation; it acts more like the “mortar” than the “bricks”. Early E1 lesions are usually managed with prevention, fluoride, oral hygiene, diet control and biofilm control. Deeper enamel lesions, such as progressing E1 or E2 lesions, may be suitable for resin infiltration or peptide infiltration. SDF is better suited to cavitated lesions where arrest and stabilisation are needed. In the UK, SDF is licensed for dentine sensitivity, so caries arrest is an off-label use. SDF can be very useful for children, older adults, medically compromised patients and care-home patients. The main downside of conventional SDF is black staining, especially on anterior teeth. Hydroxyapatite toothpaste has more science behind it than charcoal-style fad toothpastes. Fluoride toothpaste remains the preferred baseline recommendation when patients are happy to use fluoride. A suspicious grey occlusal lesion should be assessed in the context of the patient's overall caries risk. In selected cases, a tiny exploratory opening can act like a diagnostic biopsy. Sealing fissures on the same tooth being restored can be sensible when the fissure pattern is deep. For severe xerostomia and root caries risk, consider high-fluoride regimes, close recalls, trays or dentures as carriers for remineralising agents.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are back, but they're not alone. Greta is also back behind the mic after all the love the first time around… but this time, they're still riding the high from their trip to Korea and Tokyo with enough stories, inside jokes, and energy to prove they absolutely should have started podcasting from abroad. from salmon sperm eye treatments that may or may not have done anything, to hand-sculpted Korean nail charms that sparked stranger conversations back home than any engagement ring ever could; this episode kicks off exactly how a good episode should: zero filter, zero agenda, and covering everything. the girls go deep on the things that really matter: what you'd actually bid on at a charity auction, whether you'd rather have ten nudes leaked or a year's worth of iMessages exposed, the lost art of Omegle sleepovers, and why blacking out around influencers hits completely different than it used to. there's also a very sincere debate about grandparent names (honey is taken, non-negotiable), a smash-or-pass round on every fashion trend you've been quietly judging, and a surprisingly earnest pitch for why Sabrina Carpenter must perform at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.of course, as always, the episode navigates so many tangents, chaotically in the best way: girls trip shenanigans, internet brain rot, niche humor that keeps getting resurrected, and the kind of couch conversation that turns into twenty different topics before anyone remembers the original point. if this episode proves one thing, it's that spending too much time together only makes these three funnier. this episode feels exactly like being trapped in a group FaceTime with your funniest friends for two hours. practically, it's very Halley, Jaz & Greta…Timestamps1:41 - Korea Recap 10:38 - Manifesting, sleepovers, and rain plans 34:43 - Putting something up for auction 42:41- Questions for Greta 50:42 - Fashion trends More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkMore of Greta:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gretalouisetome/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gretalouisetomeLinks Ollie - Ollie.

If you showed the same bitewing to 10 dentists, would they all agree on whether to pick up the drill? Why does the word monitoring mean nothing to a patient — and how does swapping it for active surveillance change everything from your notes to your indemnity to your government policy meetings? Is it overtreatment to act on an E2 lesion — or is “watch and wait” actually the lazy answer dressed up as minimally invasive? And what should you actually do with AI caries detection that flags shadows your eye doesn't see? In this episode, Professor Avijit Banerjee — Professor of Cariology & Operative Dentistry at King's College London, Honorary Consultant at Guy's & St Thomas', and First Dean of the Faculty of Dentistry at the College of General Dentistry — sits down with Jaz for what is genuinely one of the most important caries conversations on the podcast. Part one of two. Avijit doesn't do soft answers. The drill-fill-bill model is broken. “Monitoring” needs to go. “Treatment planning” is antiquated terminology medics dropped twenty-five years ago. And AI in caries diagnosis? Useful — but the moment it gets things wrong, you are the one with indemnity, not the software. What you walk away with is a framework (MIOC), a decision filter (three factors that decide whether to pick up a bur), and a vocabulary shift you can implement tomorrow. Part two covers peptides, SDF, hydroxyapatite, stepwise excavation, and managing caries in xerostomia. https://youtu.be/YriLo8_hXNw Watch PDP268 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl: Delete the Word “Monitor” from Your Vocabulary Stop saying monitor. Start saying active surveillance. ⚠️ Active surveillance must not mean passive delay — document your reasoning, risk assessment, and what would trigger intervention. ✅ Explain it to patients as structured, proactive care: clinical checks, radiographs, risk review, behaviour support, and timely action if things change. Key Takeaways Minimum intervention oral care is bigger than minimally invasive dentistry. MIOC is prevention-based, person-focused, susceptibility-related, and delivered by the whole oral healthcare team. MID is only one part of MIOC: operative dentistry when a tooth actually needs intervention. The four MIOC domains are: identify the problem, prevent lesions and control disease, provide minimally invasive operative care, then reassess. A care plan is more useful than a treatment plan because it includes justification, prevention, behaviour change, and review. Ask patients what matters to you, not just what's the matter with you. Cavitation, cleansability, and lesion activity should guide whether to intervene operatively. A cavitated lesion that cannot be cleaned is much more likely to remain active. Smooth surface lesions may sometimes be made cleansable without conventional drilling. Restorations are not just about filling holes; they help recreate a cleansable tooth surface. There is no single perfect caries detection technology — clinical examination and good radiographs remain fundamental. If using NIRI, fluorescence, scanners, or AI, understand how the technology works and where it fails. AI should support diagnosis, not replace clinical judgement. For uncertain early lesions, triangulate: clinical findings, radiographs, risk, technology, and patient factors. Proximal resin infiltration has a role in the right patient and situation, especially as part of a wider prevention-led strategy.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are fully entering their summer era, and with that comes a lot of opinions. from Solidcore drama and influencer gym etiquette to the devastating loss of Cava's tahini caesar dressing, the girls navigate through the internet discourse that becomes way too personal, a bit too quickly. between marathon training updates from Reed and Kevin, sauna purchases, Hamptons nesting, and debates about post-run meals, the episode is basically one long chaotic life update in the best way possible.they also get into the realities of adulthood that nobody really warns you about, including the diplomacy of bachelorette trips, whether it's socially acceptable to book your own hotel room, and why even valid boundaries somehow still create drama in friend groups. the girls unpack viral conversations around dog ownership after a creator admitted she regretted getting a high-energy breed without researching it first, leading into a bigger conversation about responsibility, lifestyle compatibility, and how much your entire life changes once you become a dog parent. plus: expensive grooming disasters, terrifying Goop Kitchen food poisoning TikToks, and Halley's ongoing love-hate relationship with Tracy Anderson workouts, including a class that turned into an unexpected split-flexibility challenge.of course, they end the episode exactly where they thrive most: pop culture rabbit holes and deeply unserious debates. from Red Flats Girl becoming the internet's newest icon to conversations about Twilight, Gossip Girl, SATC, The Summer I Turned Pretty, and why some fictional love triangles should've ended in therapy instead of romance, the girls rank all the internet's most controversial couples. they also talk beauty routines, favorite summer music, awkward salon small talk, and SO MUCH MORE! it's all random, hilarious, and feels exactly like spending an hour gossiping with your funniest friends.Timestamps 0:16 - Feeling like summer 6:53 - Jaz's new hobby 16:49 - Bachelorette protocol 27:01 - Tracy Anderson 37:19- Red Flats Queen45:14 - Who's side are you on More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkLinks Ogee Beauty - Go to ogee.com/DIARIES and use code DIARIES to get 20% off certified organic makeup that performs like luxury.Ollie - Ollie.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are fresh off their Asia trip and immediately back in their element, debriefing everything from chaotic weather mood swings in New York to the reality of traveling on your period (spoiler: humbling). it starts as a light catch-up and quickly turns into a very unfiltered deep dive into period horror stories, tampon trauma, and the ongoing birth control debate, where they get honest about their own experiences, the internet's fear-mongering, and why you really have to figure out what works for your own body.from there, they get into the highlights (and very real opinions) from Tokyo and Korea: from matcha obsessions and shopping expectations vs. reality, to dropping serious money on Birkins and justifying purchases. they break down the difference between classic vs. unique designer finds, the pressure of “investment pieces,” and why sometimes you just have to let the bag choose you. on the beauty side, it's a recap of next-level K-beauty treatments, salmon sperm facials, head spas, and the slightly concerning experience of getting procedures done when you don't fully understand what's happening, but trust it anyway.of course, it wouldn't be Delusional Diaries without the chaotic commentary. they spiral into influencer culture vs. traditional celebrity relevance, the return of Dancing with the Stars, and why people in New York will wait two hours for frozen yogurt like their life depends on it. they also touch on Spirit Airlines shutting down (RIP to Maddie's favorite airline), Met Gala thoughts, and the overall absurdity of modern trends. it's real, it's fun, and as always: it's the Delusional Diaries you know & love so much…Timestamps0:17 - Finally nice out in NYC 15:24 - Tokyo and Korea recap 32:42 - Trying news foods 39:54 - Pop culture updates 43:36 - NYC Line culture 50:00 - The Met Gala More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkLinks Apartments.com - https://www.apartments.com/Fabletics - fabletics.com/diaries for 70-80% off everything as a new VIP Ollie - Ollie.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are back on the couch catching up on everything from Invisalign lisps and New York City overstimulation to brutal hangovers, Disney adult magic, and the chaos of spring in the city. the girls get real about adjusting to life in New York, how constant noise and overstimulation can weirdly become comforting, and why moving there can feel like both a dream and a nightmare. Jaz shares her unexpectedly perfect Disney World trip filled with lucky girl syndrome, short lines, and peach Dole Whip obsession & so much more!the conversation then turns to summer plans, honeymoon arrangements, and major life updates. Halley gives an exciting update on her almost-finished house renovation, from accidentally walking on freshly stained floors to debating the perfect dog-proof couch color, while Jaz talks about finally settling into her own nearly completed home. the girls discuss their goals for the summer: learning how to park a boat, becoming gardening girls, getting snatched, making good content, and embracing a more zen lifestyle. they also debate summer destinations, from Greece to the Amalfi Coast, while weighing beach clubs, shopping, and FOMO over missing Hamptons weekends with friends.of course, they wrap things up with the unhinged takes you know and love so much: online dating discourse, TikTok debates, and their girls trip to Tokyo and Seoul. from whether dads should bring daughters into women's restrooms, to why dating apps may have ruined modern romance, but can still work if you grind hard enough, the girls share brutally honest opinions on love, dating, and the realities of meeting someone on Hinge. plus, they assign roles to their upcoming Asia travel crew, talk trying new foods in Japan, head spa dreams, and all the excitement (and anxiety) of traveling across the world with six girls.

In this re-air of Episode 248 of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe sits down with trauma therapist, nutritionist, and mental health consultant Dr. Jaz Robbins to explore the powerful role mirror neurons can play in labor, birth outcomes, and the overall birth experience. Dr. Jaz breaks down the science behind mirror neurons and explains how we naturally absorb the emotions, energy, and behaviors of the people around us, especially in high-stress moments like labor. Together, they discuss how intense stress can take the prefrontal cortex offline during labor, increasing fight, flight, or freeze responses, particularly for those with a trauma history. HeHe and Dr. Jaz also unpack why providers, doulas, and partners often become the grounding presence in the room, and how tone of voice, body language, eye contact, breathing, and calm leadership can help create safety and support physiological birth. They also cover trauma-informed communication, the harm of labeling someone a “difficult patient,” provider burnout, and practical ways partners can prepare before labor so they know how to confidently support when it matters most. This episode is a powerful reminder that birth is not just physical. The emotional environment in the room matters too.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are joined by twin sisters Brigette Pheloung and Danielle Pheloung, the stylish duo behind PhePhe and familiar faces from social media. the girls catch up on all things Coachella chaos, from camping out in the Justin Bieber crowd and secondhand highs to Snapchat streak confessions, YouTube “safe spaces,” and the realities of being content creators online. they also get into their different relationships with routine, wellness, and working out, with Jaz questioning everyone's obsession with 7:30 a.m. Tracy Anderson classes while Brigette and Danielle reveal the secret to their ultra-disciplined lifestyles.the conversation then turns into a hilarious and surprisingly deep dive into twin life. Brigette and Danielle open up about being identical twins, whether they ever compete with each other, if they've ever been jealous, and the biggest fight they've ever had (spoiler: they got involved with the same guy in high school). they talk about their polar opposite taste in men, dating guys from the same hometown, and whether their fiancés could actually tell them apart. the girls also unpack wedding season in full force, from Brigette's bachelorette planning and choosing not to have bridesmaids, to Danielle's maid-of-honor speech pressure, Jaz's wedding content legacy, and all the chaos that comes with planning life's biggest events in the public eye.as if wedding planning, content creation, and running a business weren't enough, Brigette and Danielle get real about launching PhePhe together and what it's actually like mixing sisterhood with business. the girls swap stories about their best and worst brand trips, dream travel plans to Korea and Tokyo, and the pressure of constantly creating online while keeping up with real life behind the scenes. from “green monster” jealousy and influencer drama to heartfelt friendship moments… this episode has everything: sister chaos, wedding stress, business talk, and the kind of laughter that feels like you're sitting on the couch with the girls, exactly the type of vibe that only Delusional Diaries can bring!Timestamps 0:18 - Brigette and Danielle on the pod 12:31 - Upcoming travels & brand trips23:47 - All things wedding35:27 - MOH duties 39:37 - PhePhe49:27 - Personal style 58:19 - Having twins More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkMore of Danielle:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daniellepheloung/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daniellepheYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@brigetteanddanielleMore of Brigette:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/acquired.style/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@acquiredstyleYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@brigetteanddanielleLinksOllie - Ollie.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are back together after what feels like forever apart…and they have A LOT of ground to cover. starting off with Coachella: Jaz was there, Halley had major fomo but made peace with it, and now that they're finally in the same room again, the full debrief is happening in real time. naturally, Justin Bieber's headlining set comes up, and the girls actually have a more nuanced take than most of the internet did, breaking down why his low-key, chill performance made complete sense for who he is as an artist…from there, the conversation turns to everything that blew up on the internet while they were living their lives, and there is a lot to unpack. the hayley beck situation is first on the docket, and if you haven't heard about it yet, buckle up, because the girls actually give you the full breakdown in this episode. the masters influencer discourse also gets its moment, specifically the backlash aimed at creators who attended, and why Halley and Jaz think most of the outrage completely missed the point of why those invites were extended in the first place.and then, as always, things take a personal turn as they share their recent updates: Halley is two days into invisalign and already has opinions: the lisp, the brackets, the adjustment period, and the fact that Reed got invisalign at the same time so now they're doing it together. Jaz, meanwhile, has been quietly avoiding the dentist because she's pretty sure one of her front teeth is dying and she does not want to know what comes next. it starts as a dental update but slowly turns into a full group therapy session about dentist trauma. there's also a f/m/k of instagram, tiktok, and youtube that gets surprisingly heated, Halley's recurring déjà vu experiences that she is fully convinced mean something, and a tax day conversation that's funny and frustrating. another week, another episode, so much to unpack, like always.Timestamps 0:21 - Stacy's time of the month 3:55 - Noah Beck's sister 8:50 - The Masters12:07 - Sibling fights 25:18 - Going to the dentist More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkLinks Ollie - Ollie.

this week on Delusional Diaries, the girls dive straight into chaos as Jaz recounts a week-long internet spiral after a TikTok misunderstanding turned into full-blown drama. what started as an accidental follow and a harmless message quickly snowballed into viral screenshots, missing context, and millions of views, along with a wave of hate comments that seriously impacted her mental health. they unpack how quickly narratives can twist online, why being misunderstood hits harder than criticism, and the emotional toll of watching strangers decide who you are without the full story.from there, the conversation shifts into a broader discussion about navigating negativity as creators. they reflect on Reddit rabbit holes, the addictive cycle of reading comments, and the long-term impact of internalizing other people's opinions. the girls get candid about anxiety, hormones, coping mechanisms, and learning to stop chasing universal approval. they also debate manifestation, self-perception, and how constantly trying to “fix” yourself based on criticism can dull your personality and make you lose sight of reality.of course, the episode balances vulnerability with classic “delusional diaries” energy. they talk about the “people hate you every day” mindset, breaking toxic habits, and why you'll never win if you try to please everyone online. the conversation touches on performative activism, when to speak up versus amplify others, and the pressure creators feel to comment on everything. It's messy, honest, and relatable: covering internet drama, mental health, growth, and the ongoing mission to stay confident (and a little delusional) in a world that's always ready to misunderstand you.Timestamps0:20 - Jaz's block of the week 14:36 - Stay off Reddit 26:02 - Halley's weekend updates 29:41 - Reality TV 48:24 - First impressions More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkLinks Ollie - Ollie.

this week on Delusional Diaries, Halley and Jaz are taking it all the way back to the early covid days, and realizing just how insane that era actually was. what started as a “two-week break” turned into a full identity crisis, and the girls unpack exactly where they were when everything shut down. from Halley barely surviving unpaid internships, college, and New York burnout, to Jaz thriving in her corporate era before getting abruptly pulled into HR for a literal covid exposure scandal, their origin stories are crazy, funny and life-altering. it's the kind of hindsight that makes you go… wait, that actually changed everything.they get real about how losing their routines, jobs, and sense of normalcy forced them into completely different paths: ones that ultimately led them to where they are now, together in the studio. from getting laid off and spiraling into depression, to starting TikTok “as a joke” and accidentally building careers, they talk about the weird in-between phase of doing nothing, doing too much, and trying to figure out who you are when everything familiar disappears. it's honest, relatable, reflective, and lowkey proof that sometimes your lowest point is actually the setup.of course, it wouldn't be Delusional Diaries without the side quests. the episode spirals into thrift store hustles turned mini empires, fake designer accusations, high school party lore, and the kind of crazy teenage decisions that somehow make sense in retrospective. they discuss parenting topics & there's also random debates, questionable choices, and a lot of “why were we like this?” energy. we're sure that, you'll find yourself in this episode, you'll look back & reflect with the girls, and laugh just as much as they did…Timestamps0:28 - 6 years since COVID 18:10 - What were we all doing during lockdown 21:06 - Golfing 24:25 - Going to court 26:40 - Sweet 16 and high school parties 48:18: - Lemme send a good PR package More of Delusional Diaries Podcast:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionaldiariespodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionaldiariespodcastYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@DelusionaldiariespodcastSubstack: https://delusionaldiariespodcast.substack.com/Website: https://delusionaldiaries.com/More of Halley:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/halleykmcg/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@halleykateMore of Jaz:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justjazzzyidk/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@justjazzzyidkYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/justjazzzyidkLinks Cozy Earth - Go to cozyearth.com/DELUSIONAL for up to 20% off!Blissy - Wake up with clearer skin, smoother hair, and cooler sleep.
