Okay, I'm pulling out of the driveway. We all know what that means. It's time for another drive to work.

0:06.6

Except it's not. It's a special edition of Drive to the dentist. See, before I go to work today,

0:12.7

I have to go to the dentist. There's some dental work done. So what that means for you guys is a little extra

content today because the dentist is slightly farther away than wizards.
