Hey, this is Mateo Lane. I'm Emma Wilman. And this is Inside the Closet.

Inside the Closet. We're back with another episode of Inside the Closet. Welcome to the show.

Hello, hello. Still got a fake tooth. Yeah, how's the tooth? How is tooth gate?

Tooth gate is really a pain because I'm going to go. So if you guys, if you've been listening for a really long time,

you would know that years and years ago, I got veneers at a place called Harlem Dental.

And it's right where I used to live in Harlem. They set the doctor has a very thick Russian accent.

And he said some version of what do you do? I said, I'm trying to make an entertainment.

He said, what you need is TV teeth. I said, tell me more. He said cash for TV teeth. I said, tell me more.

And I went and he actually did a great job. He gave me veneer. He gave me veneers for like $2,500 cash.

But he gave me about six grand worth of teeth. So what got skimmed on was we didn't really have a lot of talks because I would go in there like early in the morning or late at night or whatever.

And it was never really laid out to me that I shouldn't be like biting into things. Maybe that was just, maybe everyone just knows that.

But that's what your teeth are for. They're repining. Yeah. Who gets new teeth and then someone's like, but just don't fight.

Have mass potatoes for the rest of your life. You're like, wait, what? Maybe any sense at all.

Yeah. Or I should have been wearing my mouth guard. Like because my dentist now was like that you didn't wear your mouth guard. Really fucked your teeth up. And I was like, fuck.

So in this past year, my teeth had been like popping out. And then I fractured one of my teeth. So I have to get an implant. It's going to be a whole thing.

Did you do something specific to fractured or what did you just have?

Sure did. Sure did. When I went in, I was like, my tooth is hurting. And they did an extra and they said, well, it's been traumatized.

And I was like, from my comedy, you know, I'm just kidding. But I was like, it's from my standup. But I, but I was, they're like, your teeth have been traumatized. I know exactly what happened. I didn't tell you this.

I don't remember them saying that it was traumatized. So it's been traumatized. So in the X-ray, they were like, you had to have had some blunt. You had to have something hit you in the face.

So like, there's not really any way you can have your tooth break across like that without something that you would remember.

And I was like, I know what it was. I know when I was doing a boxing class.

I remember there's this move where you're like, move, if you join the Patreon, you can see you're pumping your hands underneath your face like, blah, blah, blah, blah.
