Speaker 1 (00:04):
Hello friends, it's mister Jim and welcome back to Kids
Animals Stories of This is your first time. Welcome to
the fam, where we love telling amazingly epic stories about animals. Well, friends,
are you guys ready for today's adventure where we go
with part two of Lily the Lionfish. She has swam

(00:24):
all the way to the other side of the ocean
to find Hugo, who can help her with her messy fins.
Is he gonna be able to pull this off in time? Well,
let's see what happens. Let's go. As Lily the Lionfish
stood at Hugo's door, she was crushed. She was so

(00:50):
sad that it's closed. What am I gonna do? I
can't go to the party looking like this? I look
like I rolled around in a big pile of mud. Hugo,
are you in there? What? Who is there? Said a
voice from behind the door. You go, he go, Hugo,

(01:11):
it's it's it's Lily the Lionfish. I really need your
help today. My my fins are an absolute mess and
only you can save the day. Can you please open
the door? Oh but I am close today and you
must come back tomorrow. But that will be too late,
said Lily. Today is the party. Today. Today is Saturday,

(01:35):
the day of the Nui synchronized spawny of corals. And
I look like I rolled around in mud. Oh, it
couldnot be that bad. Let meet it. Oh. As Hugo
opened up a little slot on the door and peered
his eyes through, he saw that Lily was not exaggerating.
I must at meet that's I have never seen such

(01:58):
a terrible u miss of fiends before in my life.
Please come in, we must feax these. Lily was so
relieved to finally receive the help that she needed. She
swam inside of Hugo's salon, which he so graciously let

(02:18):
her in, even though he was closed today on Saturdays.
But an emergency. It's an emergency, and Hugo got to work.
You should have seen all of his little hands and
legs fast at work. Do you know how many legs
and arms that a shrimp has? Well, Hugo, he has

(02:39):
a lot. He has five pairs of little swimmer legs
that's kind of on under his belly, and those help
him swim around. Then he has five other pairs of
legs and pincers. So that's ten right there, and then
he has three more pairs of other legs, and all
in all they have about twenty six legs. Holy smokes. Well,

(03:04):
all of his legs were fast at work pinching and
pulling on her fins. Ow ouch, said Lily. Say, dear,
just what Steally all the poking and prodding was. It
kind of hurt Lily a little bit, but she knew
that it was important. Do you ever have to brush

(03:24):
your hair out and it's like kind of knotty? Yeah,
it kind of hurts, right, Oh, I know, Well, just
imagine that it's all of your fins that are being
poked by a tiny cleaner shrimp. Yikes. I can totally
understand why that would be pretty uncomfortable. As Lily looked
at the time, she realized, oh no, I'm gonna be late.

(03:47):
I gotta hurry. Hugo took one look at her eyes
and said, mew vaultah cush ami. What does that mean?
Said Lily eat me. It is better to be lit
zinn never to have been. Oh. Yes, Hugo is very right.

(04:08):
Sometimes we're just gonna be late, and that's okay. I
think it's best to try and always be ready. But
just like we saw with Lily. Sometimes stuff happens that
you weren't expecting and you just have to roll with it.
You just have to go with the flow, and you
might even need a cleaner shimp to help you along
the way. All right, Hugo, Well, thank you so much

(04:31):
for helping me. I really have to get going. All
a from my friend, said Hugo as he waved all
of his legs goodbye. Lily had a long swim ahead
of her to get back to this big, big day.
She had to swim carefully so that she wouldn't mess
up all of her beautiful fins. But she felt better

(04:52):
remembering that it was gonna be okay that she was
a little late. Ah, she could take a deep breath
and just swim back home. She had to grab some
of the desserts that she had made for the party,
and she picked up the desserts and started swimming off
to the coral. As her friends were waiting for her
at the coral, they were so excited to see her,
Lily or over here. They shouted hey, guys said Lily, Wow, Lily,

(05:18):
you look great. Was there something wrong earlier when you
swam past all of us? They said, yeah, well, I
woke up this morning in a terrible mess and needed
some help from a friend, and he totally came through
And now we get to have a blast at this
fun party. Lily spent the rest of the day with

(05:40):
all of her friends at the big and you wal
syncretize spunning of corals and they had one of the
greatest days of their entire life. I'm so glad that
Lily was able to make the party and have a
great time with her friends. The end. Great job, you

(06:06):
listened all the way to the end. And who remembers
something interesting about Lily the lionfish. Yes, she has venomous
spikes on her friends. Holy smoke. So yeah, if you
ever see a lionfish in the water, do not touch them.
They you don't want to touch them and get poked

(06:27):
because they can kill people. They are very beautiful fish,
but best admired from a safe distance. Well, my friends,
I hope you have a super duper day. End. I'll
see you next time, my friends. Bye.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
