Hi everybody this is Scott Sad I wasn't planning on doing another sad truth but

Once you come after the honey badger all bets are off

You might remember that probably around a year ago I had a cardiologist on my show.

His name is Eric Topel and Eric and I had gotten along smashingly well.

We communicated offline privately.

He put out a tweet that was very kind

not understand this or be offended by it. I am self-deprecating myself in front of a

guest to say how, you know, great their scientific citation record is. So this guy comes after me, how could you be going after,
