| 0:00.0 | Saubones is a show about medical history, and nothing the hosts say should be taken as medical advice or opinion. |
| 0:07.0 | 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. |
| 0:24.0 | Alright, Tommy is about to books. One, two, one, two, three, four. |
| 0:33.0 | 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. |
| 0:56.0 | I'm Madison, I'm Madison, the Estelle and MacKop for the mouth. |
| 1:03.0 | Hello everybody and welcome to Saubones, a marital tour of misguided medicine. I'm your co-host Justin MacCorey. |
| 1:11.0 | And I'm Sydney MacCorey. What's with the congenial? |
| 1:15.0 | It just feels so tickled to be doing this show. It's a delight to get to work with my wife and I'm just happy to be recording this podcast. |
| 1:26.0 | Me too, Justin. I'm excited this week. |

| 2:52.0 | It seems like that's a lot of people like to frame the discourse as feelings or emotion or identity or society, whatever versus hard, cold science and you, Sydney, are here to rip science from their grasping hands. |
| 3:08.0 | Well, I just think if you're going to go back to the home team as it were. |
