EP 47 - Horsin Around With Ivermectin, The Mother of Mask Studies, and Abortion in Texas

On this Labor Day weekend, the guys walk through their favorite study on mask use in the pandemic, a gargantuan scale randomized control trial in Bangladesh. They then follow it up with a discussion of Joe Rogan contracting COVID as well as his decision to treat it with ivermectin. Lastly, they wrap it all up with mention of Texas's de facto abortion ban and its bizarre bounty enforcement mechanism. Plus there is talk of running backs actually mattering?
