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?

0:14.0

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

0:22.0

You're worth it.

Hello, everybody and welcome to Saubones, Meritl Tour of Miss Guy the Medicine. I am your co-host Justin McAulay.

1:10.0

I'm Sydney McAulay. I mean that is my name. I'll just say they call you that because that's your name.

1:17.0

Justin. Sydney, Sidster. I picked a bugger.

1:22.0

You're a gross, gross. You informed me of this. This is not a goof. You informed me of this yesterday and I didn't push too hard.

2:26.0

We'll say, well, you picked a bugger. Now we're going to chase down this lead, so to speak.
