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, 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.

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

And I'm Sydney McElroy.

Well, this episode is coming a little later than Saubones classically has been. We've been trying to be more regularly, honestly.

Yeah, we wanted to be completely transparent as to why this episode isn't on time. We had initially planned, and we never do this on the show, I feel like.

It's, yeah, it was, it was, it's a rarity. Certainly. We planned on a very lighthearted silly episode initially this week based on multiple listeners.

Oh, don't spoil it because we'll still do it.

You don't mean to spoil it? No, no, I'll keep it a secret. It's gonna be a silly one. It was gonna be very silly though.

And in light of what's happening in our country, it seemed, it is incredibly inappropriate.

And so we didn't want to put that out into the, into the world right now. That was not what anyone needed to hear.

But at the same time, it took me some time and Justin, I know you helping me to try to figure out what exactly we had to say.

Right. That we could, that we were, well, me, that I have the expertise to add to the conversation.

As white people were trying to listen as much as we can, and we didn't know if we would have anything valuable to say right now.

I think it would be the honest way of putting it.

Exactly. I think, I think the primary voices we should be listening to right now are members of the black community and not us white people.

We need to do a lot more listening. We've talked for way too long.

So I thought about what I do have knowledge in and that's medicine and specifically medical history.
