Welcome, welcome.
Welcome to Armchair expert.
Experts on Expert.
I'm Dan Shepard, and I'm joined by Lily Padman.
Hi, there.
Hi.
This is our first laboratory episode where we do labs real time.
We do.
The beginning of the episode is us getting blood taken.
And you'll hear a bunch of that.
Enrolling in a study.
I don't think I've ever been a part of a study before this that you know of.
Well, that's true.
I guess they're probably on our phones.
They're probably running all kinds of.
Exactly.
But not to worry if you feel like it's boring.
At the beginning, I thought it was interesting, but it ends.
And then we get into a real interview.
What if the whole episode was us just getting blood taken?
