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

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

1:09.0

And I'm Sydney McAroy. Hey, Sydney, how you doing? Well, I'm fine. Good, I'm glad to hear it. I'm a little worn out from the Greek festival and everything.

1:18.0

Yeah, it was a Greek festival. It was fun, but man, oh man, is an exhausting time. It was hot.

1:24.0

It was hot too. There's a lot of lines. Long lines for food. This is not related. This is not related at all. It's just you asked how I was and they did have Bocca Vasandais, which were interesting and good.

1:36.0

And interesting and good. It comes. It comes. It comes. There are you from Sydney. We, I don't know if you all noticed, but about a couple weeks back there.

1:45.0

pneumonia was in the news. And it was like last week. Like last week. Gosh, wasn't that long ago. I'm sorry. I'm still shooting this show and I've lost all touch with reality.

1:56.0

But I have heard that pneumonia was in the news recently. That's right. One of our political candidates, one of our presidential candidates, Hillary Clinton committed the horrible sin of getting sick.

2:09.0

Getting to get to the money. Obviously, if you're going to run for a public office, you can never get sick ever ever. Certainly not pneumonia.

2:19.0

Which it seems like a lot of people are not quite clear on. Yeah, it's one of those that you know what I'll be I'll be completely honest. I think even like I realized that I don't have a great understanding of what pneumonia is.

2:31.0

And judging by the reaction. Last week, a lot of other people don't either. So we thought we talk about it. So we could all have a real good understanding of what pneumonia is.

2:40.0

And I think it's a good not just because it was in the news, but it's a good thing to talk about because chances are you either know someone or personally have had pneumonia in your life or will someday. It's really common.

2:53.0

I just and I've had pneumonia. Did you know that? Oh gosh, Sydney. How could you reveal something like this to me on air?

2:59.0

I'll never be president. So how far back to this go? Is this one we've recognized fairly recently? No, not at all. But first of all, let me think a few people Amy, Starlin, Christa, for all recommending this topic. And again, I know a lot of people have also tweeted about it and Facebook.

3:15.0

I think I've been on Facebook. That's about it as well because it was in the news. So thank you all. I hope that this helps. We have also I should mention real quick in case you're worried if you've had a belly full of political nonsense. This is not what this episode is about. It's just a convenient place to hang.

3:31.0

Hang that. Yeah, no, this episode's about pneumonia. I would I would not call healthy political discourse nonsense. No, I don't think that this is not the show for it. I'm not.

3:42.0
