NNNNNNNNYOOOOOMMMMMMMM!

So much overtaking in this one. I was very pleased with where Kvyat and Ricciardo finished. I can't help but love RIC. He's just so damn positive about everything.

I thought I was weird for never having wisdom teeth but I've never heard of them growing back after being removed.

Haha. I knew when I heard a story about Vijay on the radio of all places, that he was in some serious shit. That guy's been a scumbag since I started watching, it makes me feel bad for the normal dudes on the team.

Honestly, getting my wisdom teeth removed last year (all 4, but none of them impacted) was a breeze in terms of pain, or discomfort. There was very little pain involved and the only troublesome part was the bleeding for the first day or so, and not being able to eat. Other than that, I think I took a few Ibuprofen, didn't eat much, used the syringe for about a month to make sure I didn't get any food stuck in my sockets and that was it. Simple as. I should have had them out at 20, but didn't get them out until I was 26, but hey.

The only thing that I was honestly worried about was dry socket, and mainly because I was traveling to France with my girlfriend a few weeks after the removal. REMEMBER, IF YOU'RE GETTING YOUR WISDOM TEETH REMOVED MAKE SURE THEY SUPPLY YOU WITH A SYRINGE. Don't be a dumbass and try to eat regular food the first day, or so.

Huh. Were any of your teeth impacted? Whenever I get all 3 of mine removed* (was born with only 3, luckily), I have to deal with 3 impacted ones.

*Sometime a year or so after I manage to land a job that I can get health and dental insurance from, or one where I can afford to get both, because holy fuck is that surgery expensive for someone paying out of pocket for school while working retail. (Though I've been told I technically I only need to get health, as the wisdom teeth removal thing technically falls under non-dental due to the type of surgery or some such gobbledygook).

If you’re curious about teeth growing outside the mouth, do yourself a favor and make yourself uncurious. Don’t Google it.

Very glad to have contributed to our weekly check-in of Bernie's terrible comments (I'm the twitter user mentioned in-episode). Here's the story if people wanted to get the full low-down on the least-restrained mouth in sports.

Yep, Herbert was a huge talent in his pre-F1 days. I can remember him being talked up in much the same way as Hamilton was before his debut.

Seems a lovely bloke but, yeah, I'm not a big fan of his TV work.

Again I cannot listen to any MP3 content on this site without it freezing up. It lasted 42 minutes this time but then died only to die 10 minutes later after reloading the page. Anyone else having this issue?

I listened to this episode on a bus to PAX. Why is Pastor creeping on that couple?

Did I fall asleep and miss something?
