Hi, everybody, and welcome to maintenance phase, the podcast that's going for its second semester abroad, and it's gonna come back twice as insufferable.
How about that?
That's good, dude.
I did study abroad when I was 19, and I realized years later that, like, I was that person.
I was like, absolutely.
Where did you study abroad?
I was in Sydney.
Would you eat Oreos when there are Tim Tams?
That one's accurate, though.
I am Michael Hobbs.
I am Aubrey Gordon.

Michael, Aubrey, what are we discussing?
We are talking about the french paradox.
This came up when I was doing the research for our french women don't get fat episode, and we were gonna talk about it when we were recording for that, but then I realized that adding it in would be me adding a bunch of filler to an episode about a book that's full of filler.
I was like, uh, maybe I'll just do a different episode.
And so I spent the last couple of weeks researching this.
