because the yahoo superstars like Drew Davenport and Rachel Rosing were getting paid

hell they could just ask the Facebook or Reddit groups.

“Can we have ideas?”

And like 20 anoraks each send them a dissertation’s worth of notes

It’d be fun to have other doctors or med students on and ask them how they’d diagnose and treat a given scenario, then get their reactions to what was actually being done in the year the scenario occurred.

Like, I don’t listen to that podcast anymore either (although my initial impetus might have been quite different from yours) but I can’t really blame them if it’s been creatively back-burnered

Justin isn’t medically savvy in the way that S is. They’d have to like hire somebody to help write or showrun/research/script/fact-check, and that’s probably too much outlay for Sawbones relative to something like TAZ.

Although they could probably find a med/grad student to pay for a couple hours of part-time/do it for free.

Oh, totally, I don't blame them or anything. All very valid reasons! Should probably take a break from doing it, really.

Yea like others have said I've mainly dropped Sawbones unless it's an especially dunkable topic like 'hey, Goop is really loving dumb, probably more stupid and greedy than dangerous though so let's just laugh at it', but I'm not exactly shocked an actual medical professional in a state like WV is a bit more worried about making sure anyone listening to her understands 'guys I swear to god the vaccine is safe and horse drugs are not for people please just get the shot if you can' than pointing at a stupid rich person hocking snake oil and going 'lol'.

i dunno, i feel like the past several episodes of sawbones have been pretty good. vicks, thalidomide, herbalife, and black oxygen organics were all good topics imo

the havana syndrome one was kind of nothing because there's nothing really to say about havana syndrome if you're not gonna just call it out as a weird hysteria among us gov't suits

The latest Chapo episode is what the Sawbones Havana Syndrome episode should have been.

I don't listen to Chapo but decided to hop in for this one because I will listen to literally anyone making fun of this Ozy media / Carlos Watson situation.

"The opportunity to build a permanent location based on an incredibly meta-reference was one that everyone at Union Joints, as a Metro Detroit restaurant group, took very seriously," Catallo said in a news release. "We’re proud of the fact that we created a scratch sauce that tastes like it’s straight from the jar, and wok-firing the noodles gives it that leftover pasta snap."

Pasta is literally cucina povera, or peasant food in Italian. In case anyone was thinking of offering a "pasta is good" take.

I mean, pasta is good, but this is literally “we made an $11-14 from-scratch pasta dish designed to replicate the experience of eating day-old spaghetti cooked with a $2 jar of Prego because that’s how it happened in 8 Mile”

like not only does the premise suck hot rear end, it’s insulting to the customer- in a way that hypebeast idiots and wannabe influencers will lap up
