Bronny James' Summer League Breakout FIRES UP Gil's Arena as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew react to Bronny James lighting up his first Summer League game with a 10 point showing & emphatic dunk over the Miami Heat and debate if the heir to King James' throne will crack the Los Angeles Lakers' rotation this season. They also discuss how LeBron James' uncertain future with the Lakers will impact Bronny and debate if the team finally landing a premiere free agent in Deandre Ayton will smooth out the dark cloud following the Lake Show and their superstar. Next, they react to monster trades happening across the NBA as Kevin Durant officially landed in Houston as part of an historic 7 team trade & the Los Angeles Clippers made a shocking move to send breakout star Norman Powell to the Miami Heat.

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.
