Join Sawbones' Sydnee McElroy for a tour of her weird medical stuff | MaxFunDrive 2020

[@SwimmerGotSoul]

This feels like Justin is a pagent mom trying to hype up their child for the show.

[@blobby892]

[@JBajcz]

Imagine saying "Jimmy Buffet" so much that you abbreviate it to "JB" to save time in your own home

[@mikaylahinson4273]

rip 😞

[@nefarioussarah]

This has such “dad gets a video camera for Christmas and decides to film his family” energy

[@xayer98]

Literally everything about this sells that vibe lmao

[@gdragon521]

"Charlie did this" What is it? "Sailor Moon." "So good"

[@Lazamattaz]

I could tell it was Sailor Moon straight away! I hope she keeps drawing as she grows :)

We Are Amélie

[@kevin-bf4ww]

it was a good and fun video also im not just trying to blow up justin for a small audio foible

[@Peter-Pantomime]

i feel like my instinct is always to say "i would die for sydnee mcelroy" but i know that would trouble her, so instead ill say "ill get vaccinated for sydnee mcelroy"

[@taakotuesdays]

*me getting my flu vaccine because vaccines are good* for dr mcelroy :)

[@summerdawn4060]

me: syd, is that a bong? Sydney: this is my award that looks like a bong me: ah

[@Sofia-re3hj]

-syd, is that a weed? +no this is my award.. -im calling the police

[@gemmaohlemacher]

I took the same journey

[@NPSP_Andrea]

Justin: "Look at all those awards!" Sydnee: "Oh that's nothing, whatever, come over to my BOOK TROVE! There's one that's just about S W E A T!"

[@Toribell1928]

This has the energy of a vhs tape

[@Eiamii]

Oh my god, it really does!

[@ExtremelyToxic]

That's what it is lol

[@SelviEnt]

And I love it

[@TheActressChick]

I am like STRUGGLING with the fact that Sydnee “I own and display four red dwarf books” McElroy is also Sydnee “I’ve never seen Star Trek” McElroy

[@evie5375]

she WHAT

[@gerrittlighthart]

I am struggling to come to terms with this reality.

[@Sam-iu8nb]

Lister > Kirk = Spock

[@mutedknght]

I uh... im in the same boat. I just picked it up cause it seemed cool and it was but star trek, especially the original series just never appealed? Is one considered a deeper cut interest wise or does one usually necessitate the seeing of the other or are they both similar in texture?

[@Trotty2000]

I would consider red dwarf a much deeper cut. I prefer it to Trek, but RD dont hace hundreds of episodes or big hollywood movies.

[@hadleykennedy5709]

Thank you Sydnee for showing us your old hummus and Pepsi max.

[@ParadoxGavel]

Sydnee is the coolest McElroy and you'll never convince me otherwise.

[@evie5375]

they're all the coolest mcelroy actually

[@DeathThemself]

Oh, undoubtedly.

[@kristiw.1823]

Fully agree!

You've forgotten the Coolest Mcelroy Charlie Mcelroy

[@CassReidIsSomeone]

Bangles, overalls, some clear beverage, historic medical tools is a very Laura Dern aesthetic.

[@Taurusus]

Beer. She's drinking beer in a crystal whisky glass. Iconic.

[@lhoravn2481]

"this is a beautiful piece of artwork, i wish i looked like that in real life" *picture looks exactly like sydnee* ok

[@anna42623]

As soon as I saw Sydnee's overalls and impeccable intro, I knew this was exactly the content I needed today.

[@coolM353]

Right? Such a mood. And I love those overalls!

[@jkm2907]

you got me a lil saying 'Taylor, my sibling'. my partner is nb and it really makes me happy to know there's other folks out there putting the effort in 💙💙

[@RenataaMartinho]

I love Sydnee (and her co-host obvs) love for the History of Medicine. It helped me reignite my love for medical history and medicine, and I'm proud to say that after almost giving up, I'll be a M.D in 2 days!

[@joeyfromschool]

Congrats!

[@RenataaMartinho]

@@joeyfromschool Thank you very much!

[@faithmire3853]

Congrats Dr. Renatamart!!

[@rocket9595]

Congrats!!

[@taakotuesdays]

heyyyy congrats dr renatamart!!

[@brandonjeffi5976]

I love the dynamic of Justin being the experienced and knowledgeable one about creating content, etc., and Sydnee somewhat awkwardly not knowing how to handle herself (while at the same time being a smart doctor and Justin being Justin). I'm sure it's acting to an extent, but I hope it never changes.

[@Ellie-jr4zy]

I love Sydnee so much she’s so iconic

[@TaakosGoodOutHere]

I always forget how pretty the McElWives are but everytime a video is posted of them I'm like 'OH DIP THEY'RE ALL SO PRETTY!'

[@wateriswet9301]

I would 100% watch a two-hour video about Sydnee just talking about her books

They were a huge influence on the Wonder's guitarist.

[@chrisklepac9540]

Came here looking for this one!

[@CovertPheonix]

I love that this just feels like an old home movie

[@RundersquirreL]

Is that The Brothers Karamazov I spy on the top shelf of that right bookcase? Gooootta finish The Brothers Karamazov.

[@dankit2548]

You know there are two of those bad boys up there

[@ticktockbother6]

They need to get past the first 40 pages!

[@OriginalRitz]

No one has ever finished the Brothers Karamazov

[@Stevonicus]

I think I managed 50 pages as a teen. That was some time ago.

[@zero_gravity5861]

Now Rachel and Griffin! But poetry I guess.

[@forbesia]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

[@Christina-xc7on]

Yes! The real life poetry corner!

[@hhh827]

YES PLEASE

[@itsleviosaa]

I noticed Sydnee had Middlesex on her shelf! If she's interested in medical history of intersex people, Dr. Fausto-Sterling, Elizabeth Reis, and Alice Dreger's work are super foundational! (Reis is best read in conjunction with other scholarship though! She makes a lot of errors)

[@VanessaVanAlstyne]

The "British explorer look" is a Curosity Cabinet. The word cabinet being a bit of a misnomer. The origionals were wall mounted cabinets or large pieces of furniture that opened up to specimens, art, collected studies.... often these men were scholars, physicians, veterinarians, scientists etc... and they collected an asunder of interesting things for study and reference. Then their rich friends noticed. These rich friends were often "men of letters" who were traveled and amassed items as they traveled. This is also the Renaissance where being a "man of all arts" aka "Renaissance Man" was en vogue. So the wealthy began to have entire rooms that were "curosity cabinets". Often the walls were lined with specimen cabinets (we have libraries for our books because we are uber rich), the center contained seating and larger taxidermed specimens/large miner samples. And then the ceilings were crammed full of art in the Salon Style. The artworks proving you were well rounded in a fields. Often men would return from "safari" in foreign lands and return with new specimens for display in their "cabinets" and then host a lecture with their "men of letters" friends in their new acquisitions and experiences. This is the origin of "explorer clubs" or "gentleman's clubs". ... i owned an Oddities/Curosity store for 3 years. It was just closed forever due to covid...this is the source of this knowledge

[@NotTylerDurden]

This is fascinating and thank you for sharing your knowledge, also sorry to hear about your store closing. I hope you can reopen sometime soon. :

[@KaylaKasel]

Do you have an online store by any chance? Or any social media?

[@MidLa23]

I'd also love to follow your social media/online store if you have any!

[@TheQuickAsAFlash]

@@saber1epee0 Sky Mall! I miss those catalogs. My Dad used to travel a lot for work, and he's always bring one back. |D Thanks!

[@jhubeJELLO]

this was definitely recorded this week but it has strong "it's the 1990s and dad just bought a camera" vibes

[@Epinardscaramel]

I was expecting anything but “old hummus”

[@SwimmerGotSoul]

Josie and the pussycats has a great soundtrack, thank god I’m not the only one that thinks that.

[@laurarose520]

That soundtrack holds up so well and I was reborn the day it dropped on Spotify

[@johnrobie7444]

To this day, nobody rocks the mic like Dujour

[@CplAnguadaEarth]

We still have the DVD from when I was a kid. My dad thought it was hilarious (in a loving way). He always called the songs my “angry punk girl music”.

[@Milkex]

Justin you sound SO MUCH like your father when speaking low. I cannot wait to hear you in twenty years, you precious beancurd.

[@cara8931]

PLEASE drop the artist for the hysteria piece!!! I would pay a pretty penny for a print of that.

[@EdHerbersMusic]

Very nice collection of They Might Be Giants LPs!

[@aster6969]

I don't know why hearing Sydnee say "my sibling Taylor" made me burst into tears but it did

[@SnowLeopard744]

Sydnee has the same aesthetic I would like for my house: the home of an eccentric British archaeologist (but back when it wasn't problematic to loot cultural artifacts to take home with you)

[@raixbd]

It’s always been problematic to loot cultural artefacts and take them home with you. The eccentric British archaeologists not understanding or caring about that doesn’t mean there was no harm done.

[@Hipsternebula]

that's pretty messed up lol. maybe focus on collecting stuff that wasn't stolen by imperialists if you don't want to be 'problematic' (racist)

[@tristantries9211]

[@ChibiChibi310]

The McElroy community is so positive. Over 800 likes and no dislikes yet! You love to see it, folks.

[@NHussain17]

Canada checking in - so definitely international! Syndee is adorable. She's the person that has done some amazing things and is well accomplished, but vaguely embarrassed at talking about herself and her accolades. It's incredibly sweet how much she keeps that people have sent her because she knows they put effort into it.

[@reitheist]

This only serves to cement my adoration for Sydnee

[@fittsythesnail3750]

this episode of show and tell was really rad, i cant wait to see what she brings next week

[@SlightlyMiscalculated]

I honestly adore how much Sydnee really truly levels medical history and writings. The second we got to the books she lit up. Love that enthusiasm and passion!
