Saubones 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, time 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 not a sense, I'm not a sense, I'm not a sense, the escalant macaque for the mouth.

Hello everybody and welcome to Saubones, a meerdal tour of Miscite Medicine. I'm your co-host Justin McElroy.

And I'm Sydney McElroy.

Kind of an unusual one today for us, Sid, Mr.

That's right. Justin, Mr.

Kind of a weird topic today. We're going to talk about something that a lot of people have been asking us to delve into, and we have

fought tooth and nail to keep for doing, I would say.

We try to stick with our theme for the most part as far as our show. We talk about medical history, about diseases or treatments, or people who got it wrong in an effort to heal humanity and kind of make jokes about it.

So it's harder when a topic is one, not really historical, but current.

Yeah, happening. And two, not at all funny.

Not really a chuckle fest with, oh, of course, we're talking about Ebola.

Yes. So a lot of, a lot of our listeners have emailed us and tweeted at us that we should talk about Ebola.

Personally, I've had a lot of people ask me when we were going to talk about Ebola.

And the problem with it, and I think we may have said this actually in our vaccine episode, which I would say is kind of a similar idea, is that

one, it's not really a history of something that we got wrong.

You know, there is no, there is no long history of Ebola and all the ways we tried to treat it in the past that were dumb and the crazy things people came up with, that doesn't really exist.
