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 door 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 mayoral tour of Miss Guy to Medicine. I'm your co-host Justin McElroy.

I'm Sydney McElroy.

Sydney, the medicine was in the news this week.

That's right, Jess.

We always try to address when medicine is in the news. As long as it's an episode we haven't done before.

Last time we've already done before, we want to say, hey, we've been doing this for a long time.

Over there, we've been in the game.

But no, unfortunately, I always hate when science and politics start to get entertained.

I think you actually very much like it because you seem to get very worked up.

I do get very worked up about it. I do enjoy that part.

For me, it's always hard when science becomes political because there's truth that people don't want to hear because truth is uncomfortable.

And a political?

Yes. But somehow telling the truth is a political act these days.

We're about to enter the holiday season. We're about to take a break for the holidays and everybody's looking for light, things, and fun.

I promise there will be plenty of that next week and probably in a lot of other podcasts.

But this is your last dose of medicine before the holidays.
