Kate Scott sits down with one of Calcio’s most iconic No. 9s - the larger-than-life Christian Vieri. Bobo opens up about leaving his family behind in Australia as a teenager to chase his dream of playing in Italy. He reflects on the quiet strength of his father, the deep influence of his grandfather, and why wearing the Azzurri shirt meant more to him than any club crest (03:13). Christian shares memories of playing alongside legends like Ronaldo, who he calls “kissed by God,” and weighs in on the current state of Italian football (13:43). He gets candid about life in the spotlight, the tabloids, and how his high-profile lifestyle sometimes overshadowed his work on the pitch (25:07). Christian talks about why the United States dream still holds so much appeal and how he found peace in fatherhood and the rewards that come with being a girl dad (32:34). It’s a conversation full of honesty, nostalgia, and surprises as Kate and Christian look back on a career (and a life) lived at full tilt!

Stuff You Should Know
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.
