Prisoner exchange

September 27, 2025 • 1 min
The prisoner exchange took place on the bridge. Soldiers and snipers and floodlights everywhere. Two men shook hands in the middle of the bridge and waved to their respective sides. A line of men in chains with bags over their heads walked South. One man in a suit and tie walked North. When the line of men reached their side, the chains were removed, the bags were lifted, and their families saw them and hugged them and thanked God....

Leroy the racist

September 25, 2025 • 1 min
Leroy Brown called every white person a racist. When he wasn't screaming it at white people, he was shouting it at the television. Neighbors who complained were in cahoots with the racist white folk. Cops who came to tell him to quiet down were sent by the racist white folk. But nobody did anything, because they didn't want to be called a racist. Leroy called the mailman a racist for walking on his property. The mailman said the ma...

"You have the right to remain silent," they began. Roger 8 tried to explain he didn't kill hi...

Meeting conflict

September 23, 2025 • 1 min
I'm on a lot of teams, and I have a lot of meetings. They're usually pretty good about scheduling them so they don't conflict, but sometimes, it's unavoidable. Nobody ever says the other team's meeting is more important, so go see them. If I pick one meeting, I get follow messages about super important stuff from the other meeting. And vice versa. So, I started filling a coin to decide. Heads, one team. Tails, the other team. Then ...

Greta

September 20, 2025 • 1 min
Oh, Greta. You little Nazi. Hitler Youth wet dream, blonde and blue-eyed. Chiseled features, the Nordic ideal. Danish? Dutch? It doesn't matter which master race you come from. Like any child star, you've memorized your lines. Your father's words, hurled at the audience from your mouth like a plunger thrusting sewage down a clogged toilet. America is bad. America is evil.

George the pollster

September 19, 2025 • 1 min
George was a pirate, but he wasn't a very good pirate. His captain asked him how the crew felt, and George conducted a poll. "Your approval ratings are down," said George. "Maybe if we had a battle," said the captain. "That always boosts approval ratings for politicians." So, the captain set course for the nearest ship and they fought it. They won, but took heavy casualties. George polled the crew again. And the numbers were even l...

    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.
