* "A Medicine Called Christmas" is an AffectionateParody of Hallmark Christmas movies, following their basic plot of "Woman from the big city goes to a small town to learn what Christmas is all about", and manages to get plenty of laughs out of it:
** Our female lead, played by Sydnee, is named [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Tabitha Bigcity]].
** Tabitha's dad, Daniel Bigcity (played by Tommy Smirl, Sydnee's father) is explaining why he's sending her to the small town for the doctor exchange program (which is "a real thing that exists and people do"):
--->'''Tabitha:''' Dad, I know everything I need to know about Crittenmond.
--->'''Daniel:''' ''Christmas'', Tabitha. It's called ''Christmas''.
--->'''Tabitha:''' Right, Christmas, whatever, fine. What's the name of this quaint village you're banishing me to, again?
--->'''Daniel:''' Well, the locals call it Poinsettia Point.
--->'''Tabitha:''' Is that what it's really called? Or...
--->'''Daniel:''' No, it's--it's really called that.
** Tabitha meets the leading man, Chris Evergreen (played by Justin) outside the Poinsettia Point family clinic:
--->'''Chris:''' ''(yelling)'' Money for charity! Please give money for Christmas!
--->'''Tabitha:''' Uh, excuse me. I'm looking for--
--->'''Chris:''' A great way to help those less fortunate than you?
--->'''Tabitha:''' W--well, sort of. I'm supposed to be working at the Poinsettia Point family clinic today?
--->'''Chris:''' Oh, sure, I can help, no problem. That'll be five dollars, please!
--->'''Tabitha:''' What? ''(holding back laughter)'' Five dollars? [[DeadpanSnarker God, what kinda scam are you runnin' here]]?
--->'''Chris:''' The Christmas kind? For poor people?
--->'''Tabitha:''' Ohh, right, okay. I'm sorry. Well--I only have a $20.
--->'''Rachel [=McElroy=], narrating:''' There is a two-minute-long pause.
--->'''Chris:''' I'll spot you.
** Tabitha explains her tragic, Christmas-hating backstory:
--->'''Tabitha:''' I don't know...I guess it was just never a big deal for our family. Dad always volunteered to work Christmas Day, and my mom was allergic to trees.
--->'''Chris:''' ''(sympathetically)'' Ohhh.
--->'''Tabitha:''' Also, my Gamgam was the one who always went all out for Christmas, and when she died it just never felt the same.
--->'''Chris:''' Okay. So which--
--->'''Tabitha:''' And my mom let my dad for a mall Santa on...
--->'''Chris:''' On--on Christmas?
--->'''Tabitha:''' [[BaitAndSwitch Arbor Day]].
* During the "Pinworms" live show, Justin gives an introduction to the episode:
-->'''Justin:''' So the problem...we sometimes cover some challenging topics on ''Sawbones''. And the problem with doing that in a podcast setting is, if people get skeeved out, totally wigged out and grossed out, [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere they can turn the podcast off]]. ''(beat)'' You're on a boat.

* In the live episode about Pliny the Elder, Sydnee announces that she's prepared a song in Pliny's honor:
-->'''Sydnee:''' ...Where's your guitar?
-->'''Justin:''' Uhhhhhhh... ''(makes a fart noise)'' Um, I know you told me to bring it...it's ''so heavy''. It's ''so heavy''.
-->'''Sydnee:''' I wrote this whole song about Pliny.
-->'''Justin:''' Uh, hold on, I got--wait, hold on. ''(pause)'' I got you. I got my [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Anna and Elsa]] cup here.
-->'''Sydnee:''' You have a cup?
-->'''Justin:''' My Anna and Elsa cup.
-->'''Sydnee:''' What are you gonna do with that cup?
-->'''Justin:''' Stole it from Charlie.
-->'''Sydnee:''' What is your plan with this cu--[[OhCrap oh no]]. Rileigh taught him how to do this.

* In the live episode about Pliny the Elder, Elder:
** Sydnee makes a rather dated reference:
--->'''Sydnee:''' ...And Pliny could tell you, because he wrote down all the trees. He wrote down all the trees, and all the rocks, and all the--all the plants, all the animals. He wrote about space, he wrote about humans, he wrote about history, he wrote about ''anything''. It was ''everything''. It was the, like, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encarta Encarta]], maybe of their time?
