Tipping culture in the U.S. has spiraled out of control—but for workers who rely on tips, it’s more than just an inconvenience. In this episode, we share the incredible story of Connor Stephanoff, a 20-year-old pizza delivery driver who braved a Midwest snowstorm to deliver an order—only to receive a $2 tip. But one chance encounter changed everything. Lieutenant Richard Craig, a police officer with a TikTok following, saw Connor’s dedication and took action. What started as a simple act of kindness turned into a viral crowdfunding campaign, raising over $40,000. This heartwarming episode explores the power of community, the realities of tipping culture, and why small moments of generosity can make the biggest impact.

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.
