Saabones is a show about medical history, and nothing the hosts say should be taken as medical advice or opinion.

It's for fun. Can't you just have fun for an hour and not try to diagnose your mystery boil?

We think you've earned it. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy a moment of distraction from that weird growth.

You're worth it.

Alright, Tommy is about to books. One, two, one, two, three, four.

We came across a pharmacy with a toy and that's lost it out. We were shot through the broken glass and had ourselves a look around.

I'm medicine, I'm medicine, I'm the escalant macaw for the mouth.

Hello everybody and welcome to Saabones, a marital tour of misguided medicine. I'm your co-host Justin McElroy.

I'm Sydney McElroy.

I'm excited today because this time we're not dealing with the medical past.

No, that's true. We're dealing kind of with the future.

The medical future, come with us, get on our hoverboard and travel with us to the distant future of now.

I think though I was trying to, as you proposed this topic for the show, and I was a little concerned that it doesn't fit into what we do.

Then I started thinking people ask us a lot what kind of things do you think will look back on in like a hundred years and say, oh my gosh, what are we thinking?

I think that this particular branch of medical science is so new that some of the things we'll talk about, some of the things, the applications that are being sold to the general public are maybe a little bit of snake oil.

I actually think this is like a Saabones episode of the future. We're going to go ahead and do now.

We've done this idea before this idea that we might look back on and you're thinking, and sort of, you're thinking this might be one of them?

I don't think, let's just get into it and I'll explain what I mean. There are aspects of it, yes.

Perfect. All right, I'm ready.

We're going to talk about genetic testing, DNA testing, specifically of the commercial variety.

I think this was mainly your idea, honey, because you wanted to do it.

It's not that I wanted to do it. I mean, I feel pretty confident just going to be some different kinds of white people.
