Comedian Mike Menendez joins us to talk about his hilarious animated short Pollo Punch, inspired by chicken fighting and Miami madness. We sip a Roussanne from Paso Robles (but don’t expect Eddie to name it—he’s holding a grudge because the winery stole his Cuban dinner idea). We dive into Mike’s creative process, the wild world of animation, and whether chickens deserve their own action movies. Wine, shade, and comedy collide in this one.

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.
