Here’s what our house elf, Artie, says about this episode.

This episode captures our conversation analyzing and debating the lyrics of Rush's song "Cold Fire." We discuss different interpretations of specific lyrics, share personal anecdotes, and scrutinize the song's portrayal of love and relationship dynamics. The discussion touches on the nuances of unconditional love, the reversal of traditional gender roles in the song's narrative, and how love is correctly portrayed as work rather than a fantasy in "Cold Fire." We also reveal our favorite lyrics, reflecting on the poetic symbolism and the emotion conveyed through the song's imagery. We mix in humor, disagreements over lyric interpretations, and reflections on personal relationship experiences, all framed within a deeper appreciation for Rush's music.

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.
