Sawbones 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.

All right.

Tommy is about some books.

One, two, one, two, three, four. We came across a pharmacy with its windows blasted out

pushed on through the broken glass and had ourselves a look around the medicines, the

medicines that ask mell and macaw for the mouth.

Hello everybody and welcome to Sawbones, Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine.

I'm your co-host, Justin McElroy.

And I'm Sidney McElroy.

The hardest thing about doing video stuff, Sid, is that I have to fight my compulsion to always be a criss-crossed applesauce in a chair like a baby. That's the way I always sit. And it's very hard to not sit criss-cross apples like a baby. even though I know that it is bad for my posture and my health to sit that way.

It's just the way I do it.

I understand because for the longest time at my office, my clinic, I have just been sitting on a stool.

Specifically, our hairdresser uses the saddle stool, and I was so impressed with this like saddle-shaped stool. I thought it was so cool that Justin got me one for my clinic. And I just roll back and forth because it's a very small clinic. From my desk to like my lab to into the exam room and back, I'm just always mobile like on wheels. And it's great, except it's killing my back yeah but I look so cool

rolling around on my stool I think you look cool do I no one has that well even if you don't

you're gone so fast you don't hear them make fun of you because you're on your stool you're like zoom

you're gone I don't know now I'm questioning what would can you imagine a conversation that

someone would feel comfortable having with you where they're like, Sydney, we have to talk about the stool?
