Thai you ladies for helping me understand as usual! I'd like to recommend another autoimmune disease. Addison's disease! it's hereditary, JFK had it. my dog has it. I'd like to learn more in the way only you can tell it!

it's ironic that, as scientists, you talk about the language attitudes and concealment yet not once have you said the word women or girls but say people and people who menstruate. shame on you and shame on your degrees.

I love your podcast and have shared episodes with my biology students. this episode had some cringe moments when you were laughing about the slave trade. while I think you might have been laughing because this topic came up before, it's really not a laughing matter. so unfortunately, this is not an episode I'm comfortable sharing and would think twice before recommending your podcast to others in the future.
You guys should do one of these about the coca plant, because cocaine is a hell of a drug and its got a hell of a history. Theres the South American natives who would chew coca leaves for a coffee like effect, to old times doctors who diagnosed you with ghosts in your blood and told you to do cocaine about it, to coca cola, all the way to the crack epidemic. Theres also a bunch of stuff that I don't even know about and that's why I want you guys to do an episode about it. You guys are so good at digging up obscure facts about your topics and I love it. This podcast is one of the things what gets me through long dishwasher shifts. That and just the tiniest amount of cocaine. Jkjk
Get checked for STDs when you have unprotected sex with a new partner otherwise you may end up sending the tips of your penises to Ms. Zaucha for testing. Horrifying!
I can only imagine Luxeria saying, "Gout, girls!!!"
