This week, we’re diving into one of the most infamous true crime cases of the '90s: the Menendez Brothers. From murder and media spin to courtroom theatrics and disturbing family secrets, we’re unpacking how a pair of grieving sons became the ultimate tabloid villains—and why Gen Z is suddenly obsessed with their story. Was it murder for money, or self-defense after years of abuse? And how much did the media shape the verdict?
Then we pivot from courtroom drama to Summer House chaos—because nothing says emotional whiplash like Carl and Lindsay’s engagement crash-and-burn. Is anyone okay in that house?
Grab your cocktail, prepare to yell at the TV (or the justice system), and join us for another week of Crime, Cocktails, and BS.

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.
