Hello and welcome to series inquiries only this is episode 404 I'm Thomas Smith and I'm

so excited for today's show I know I always say that but this one was truly a lot of fun.

Like school bus ask I would go ahead and say if I may be so bold now today's guest is

Dr. Rick Sullivan it's more immune system stuff but a little bit different did you know that

one factor in being attracted to your partner might be their immune system because it turns

out that if you know you do some science and sciencey science it looks like we're maybe

slightly more attracted to people with kind of a different immune system in a way that kind

of promotes diversity of immune responses in a way that is it's so cool Dr. Sullivan's going

to tell us all about that plus so much more he gives us a really fun lesson on the immune system

and I know we've talked about food allergies but this is totally different thing this is like

viruses and all that kind of thing and it's on a more mechanical level it's just fascinating I

cannot believe that this is how our body works all the time it's crazy excited to get to that

but first as I always say if you'd like to avoid the auto add that is just about to happen plus

the other ones in the show go to patreon.com slash serious pot enjoy the bonuses we're recording

seriously awful movies tomorrow I'm really excited about it it is so bad oh it's bad can't wait

that'll be up soon for patrons of course and there's the hangout on the 30th hope you're

going to join us check patreon for all that you got to be in the top two tiers of patreon looking

forward to some code names and so much more over on patreon.com slash serious pod so hope to see you

over there and if not here's an auto add for you probably selling some horrible conservative crap

but it's actually really you know kind of better if they waste their money on you guys because

there's no way you're spending any money on them so that's a service you're performing for the

world Dr. Rick Sullivan how you doing today I'm doing great Thomas thanks for having me oh my
