This week on Premeditated Opinions, Josh takes a trip to the dentist that nearly turned into a cardiac event, while Pamela sips her coffee and reminds us that bourbon at 9am is “probably frowned upon.” Between numbing shots, elevated heart rates, and a hygienist saying “whoa” (never say “whoa”), we compare notes on stage fright vs. public speaking, parenting kids through orchestra/viola/violin concerts and gymnastics meets, and why confidence is a muscle you build—preferably not with your jaw wired shut.
We also unveil what’s next for the show: a new interview series, People You Should Know; premium chaos on Substack (hello, Tequila Tuesday); and a peek at our YouTube set art by Krista Miller Art. Then we wade into tough territory: responding to polarization and headlines about political violence with a human-first lens—less dunking, more decency, and how to argue without dehumanizing.
Other highlights:
- Dental suspense thriller: adult wisdom teeth extraction prep, “white coat” jitters, and coping tactics that don’t involve bourbon at 9am (…barely).
- Stage vs. spotlight: teaching kids public speaking, respectful debate, and performance nerves that actually build resilience.
- Set glow-up: why our YouTube backdrop changes (artist features incoming) + where to follow along (Substack & Instagram).
- Civic sanity: separating policy disagreements from personal worth; choosing curiosity over clapbacks.
- Bonus challenge: take a shot every time Pamela says “and all of these things.” (Warning: not responsible for ER visits.)
If you’re into millennial dry humor, dental drama, parenting and performance, YouTube creator behind-the-scenes, and less-toxic discourse, this episode is your emotional fluoride treatment.
