In this episode, we celebrate our annual Besties Trip! We're going to Maine, everybody! In preparation for the trip, Abby discusses the Wood Island Lighthouse's real life horrifying terrors and rumored paranormal events and secrets. She tops it off with a wholesome story about a dog we don't deserve. Then, Ellie drags (it's an aviation joke, do you get it?) the mood down by talking about some horrifying plane crashes (right before we get onto our flight to Maine, but go off, queen) caused by hubris and not following Aviation Rules, which we assume is a real thing and not something we just made up for the description.

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.
