How old are you.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
So?
Speaker 4 (00:09):
I just turned. For those who don't know, I just turned. Hi,
my name is Mike. I'm a dad of three husband
and I just hearned forty this year.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
And see that is not midlife to me?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Uh it technically.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
He's too young to be midlife.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Yeah, I mean it is. I mean mathematically it probably close.
Is too close, like it is close to midlife, But
like I don't feel like it's midlife.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
I feel like you have another ten years.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
At least before I go through any sort.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Of crisis, Right, That's what I would say.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna I'm trying to manage
it before I get to that point.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
But I have friends who are literally in the same.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Period of their life as me, who are driving and
this is my question, who are driving like fast in
the furious type car and they're going to Aldi on
Thursdays and bowling night on Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Like they're they're doing dad stuff too.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
They got kids, they got but that to me feels
very midlife crisis.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
See, And what I don't want to do is go
like I don't want to go. I don't.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I don't think I'm gonna get like crazy piercings or
or or you know, a wild I don't think I'm
gonna do any of those things.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
All right, So the eyebrow piercing is out.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I've had it pierced already. I don't need to. I've
done it already. I don't need to.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
The nose piercing isn't probably gonna happen either. That's as
of right now, that's out. But if you start seeing.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
You're not too old.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
So I looked at that car, and I was talking
to my wife, and I do need to get a
new car here. I got a few months left on
my lease. But I'm starting to look at like vehicles
and what I want. I'm kind of done with my
suv Era, like I'm ready for something different.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
This kind of threw me because just last week at
the Alligan County Fair, you were talking like you wanted
a truck. I do, and now you're talking about a
sport car.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Well, my thought is, here's my question, what is the
what is the mid life crisis car?
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Like there is one, right, but where's that line?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Because a car collector might have all these beautiful like
old classic sports cars or cars or whatever, and that's
not a mid life crisis, right, So, like, I see
these guys my age.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Are we in our car collecting era.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
I don't think I'm at that point in my life yet.
I do want a truck, don't get me wrong. I
do want a truck, but I started looking at other
vehicles too, because you know, financially, it might make more
sense for a little bit to do this. Like I
get a truck and my wife gets a car. But
I was like, well, let's get like a cool car.
And she's like, what do you mean a cool car?
(02:46):
I don't know, like a red I think I said
Mustang or something. I'm sporty, yeah yeah, And she's like,
we got kids. We're gonna put kids in the back
of a tiny little Mustang.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Like well that, yeah, that's still you get into the
tetris are with that one.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
She's like, she's like, you're falling into the line, or
not the line, you're falling into the midlife crisis range.
And I'm like, no, it's not. It's not bad, but
is there like a car that's like a midlife crisis car?
Is there like a thing that's like a midle because
what I want to do is if I start falling,
I need like people to point out the booger for me.
(03:22):
It's like if I got a booger on my face,
I would like somebody to tell me. But if I
start doing midlife crisis he things, I need somebody to go, hey.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
You don't need to to I don't have hair, but
if I had hair, you don't need to highlight your hair.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Mic.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Is it a midlife crisis or is it just like
not practical for you right now?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
But I don't know because every time if you were
to say a guy is going through a midlife crisis,
what's the first thing you think of?
Speaker 3 (03:49):
A sports car?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
A ridiculous sports car that that's a two seater, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Yeah, I see what you're saying, but I don't know
that you're necessarily I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
I don't think I do anything else that is like that.
I just want to avoid it at all costs. I
want to avoid any midlife crisis at all costs. And
I don't think the mar I even say it. I'm
like convincing myself. I don't think I'm doing with a baby.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
I am anybody buy a midlife crisis car like you
knew that it was a midlife crisis car. I'm just
so curious, like what do people.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
Get or what do I need to avoid?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
What this is like kind of the second thing that
we've talked about, are you having a midlife crisis?
Speaker 4 (04:30):
It's almost like I hit forty and am worried that
all these people that I joked around about in my
thirties and twenties hitting midlife crisis that it might now
happen to me. I did just turn forty, So I
don't think it's around the corner. I think I'm more
worried about it than anything, But I still am aware.
I'm still very self aware. I don't want to be
(04:51):
that guy in the pickup line. They're going, what is he?
Is he driving a Honda Civic tricked out with neon
lights at the bottom of it?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
What is he doing?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
So what I don't want is to be in my
forties and there's this weird line in your forties or
like when you hit this age you don't have to
have kids. I have everyday errands, I have to run,
but there's this weird line where it's like you're either
like a car guy and then all these these other
cars that you have or a car person and all
these other cars you have. Is it's just cool you're
a collector. But I can't be a collector. I can't
(05:22):
afford to be a collector. So whatever car I get
is gonna be my errand car, right, everyday car.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
You know what I mean. Yeah, So like I.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Can't get a Porsche, I can't get a convertible.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Well you could, can't put a car seat in that.
You could.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
But let me just first of all, some of those
really fancy sports cars, Yeah, they're really sporty ones.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I did a little.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Research, got a wild hair, Okay, thought maybe i'd get.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Something real fancy.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
There you go.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
And then I was talking to a car guy and
he was like, Okay, you want like a fancy little
sports car looking things.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah, And it's it's hot and you drive around town
and it goes fast, and then.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Yeah, picture our price though, you're cruising on our prize.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Of that, and then you know you need new brake pads.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Oh yeah, and it's fifteen thousand dollars for new brake
pads on this sporty, little hot little thing that you're
driving around in and I was like, it killed it
right away from me.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
I was like, ooh yeah, nope, yeah, I can't imagine
an oil change is a you could use a ten
dollars jiffy loub of oil change coupa.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
But what if you just like got your truck. I
do want a truck so everybody fits in there. You
can toe the camper with that. Yeah, if you get
a boat, you can do the boat with that. But
then like do something that you want to do, like
modify it, like get it mated out, like Auto Image
and plain well, yeah, they'll.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Mat out your car.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
Oh, I do like that, and.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
They can put you know what else they have. I
was at the auto show with Auto Image last year. Okay,
they you can put seats into your car that massage
what so what if you get like your truck, which
is practical for the family, but then you you do
something like that where it's like this is pretty luxury,
(07:12):
pretty nice.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
Everything you're saying right now is the best thing I've
heard in probably weeks.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, I'll get you in touch with which you've.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Met Sean Yeah, yea, yeah, yeah, great Jehan Kirby.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
They can do it up real good.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
I do. I do love a truck.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
I want to also know, though, what are the cars
that you would call a midlife life crisis car? What
are the cars that you put in that category? We
did post it on Facebook. Here's some of them. A
Jeep Wrangler with no doors, no top what.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
I don't think that's a midlife crisis car.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
I don't know that I fully agree either, but sort
of Dodge hell Cat or Demon okay a little bit.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
For that one.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
A sixty five fastback. Must see this is a car person.
I don't think that that apply. If you've got an
old classic car, I don't feel like that applies.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I do, do you really? Yeah, that's a midlife crisis
if you.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Buy it, if it's passed down, Oh okay, so you're
just family then no. But I feel like, yeah, if
you're going out and you're looking for muscle cars, yeah,
like some people that's their hobby and that's just like
what they do. They find a muscle car, they fix
it up, they sell it.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
So if it's like a sidecar, like a side not
you're you're running through the drive through at McDonald's car exactly.
What about anything convertible? No, you don't think that's a
midlife crisis car?

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.
