#Sawbones

[mcelquotes]

They want us to stop laughing and they want us to stop having hope for a better future. They want that so we're easy to push around.

it takes a special type of poison to kill a Jedi

slow-acting, with a cumulative effect over multiple doses such that the warning from the Force about any single dose is easily missed

no one was quite sure what was causing a series of nat-born officers to sicken and die without any of the traditional signs of contagion

and then it started to effect some of the Jedi too, and no one was sure what was happening

and then the Chancellor died, and the war quickly fell apart, leaving the Jedi and Judicial investigators with much more pressingt problems to address

years later it came to light that a disillusioned clone sergeant by the name of Slick had made a deal with Asajj Ventress to buy the recipe of an old Sith poison, and had been selling the product to clones serving under ill-suited or prejudiced officers, which had eventually included one Commander Fox of the Coruscant Guard who had made his case to the sergeant personally

honestly all of the mcelroy fam podcasts are comfort podcasts here's why:

-sawbones feels like you're on a long car ride with justin and syd and you asked a question about something and now syd's on a tangent about medical history and you're fuckin fascinated

-wonderful feels like you woke up early on family vacation and griffin and rachel asked you to hang out with them because the three of you are the only ones up and so now you're sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee and thinking up reasons to live

-taz feels like listening to your brothers and dad play dnd while you sit on the couch and play animal crossing

every tiktok “health” trend that ends up on my dash makes me glad I listen to Sawbones. for every gullible (or susceptible to ocd delusions) person that believes their body is riddled with parasites and they need to drink laundry detergent about it, I know that I’m at least over here actively learning about actual, evidence-based medicine. net neutral? maybe thats naive lol anyway listen to Sawbones

the thing abt being a popular internet funnyman married to a smart scientist doctor woman is sometimes she asks you "you DO know that fungi arent plants...right?" in front of a huge theater full of your fans and, recorded for posterity, your only response is

Summary:

Join Justin and Dr. Sydnee McElroy on a marital tour of misguided medicine as they discuss the weird, gross, and sometimes downright dangerous ways we tried to solve our medical woes through the ages.

I remembered this post I made a while ago and now I’m curious so

(I can’t stop you, but I’d ask you not answer if you don’t listen to any McElroy shows!)

[mcelquotes]

I'm gonna say this as a white woman talking to other white women. Those of us with privilege can use that privilege to put ourselves between our oppressors and those who are most marginalized. And we can use our voice in a way that not everyone else has the ability or access or privilege to do. If you can get in a room where you can talk for people who aren't allowed access to that room, you've gotta talk.

It's been said that skulls are symbolic of the divine and the mortal, housed within the one vessel. Here's a treasury of vintage skull imagery.

ive been listening to sawbones and apparently people were able to figure out if neolithic people were right or left handed via dental records, because you could figure out how they ate and model what hand you would be holding food with???? hello???? maybe I'm just high but that is insane to me. what do you mean we know what hand cave people ate with. WHAT!!!!

It's just all mcelroy content

[podcast-official]

me making my mom listen to sawbones so that she'll understand that the mcelroys are genuinely kind and funny people just in case she realizes that mbmbam, taz, and wonderful! are all full of an almost overwhelming amount of swearing and innuendo.

thanks sydnee and justin for giving me something to vibe with my mom over.

[neonpigeons]

[chewbaccaaah]

I asked my boyfriend a very big question:

"Will you wait so we can listen to the naming of 2025 together?"

We both love mbmbam and TAZ (im a sawbones girlie, he likes wonderful) but still, its a big ask
