Crack open a cold one and join us for the hilarious recounting of the Bart Bauer Bash – an annual guys' retreat that's become our saving grace from the grind of daily life. What started after our back-to-back bachelor parties has evolved into a cherished tradition complete with its own traveling trophy: Belvedere, a three-foot bulldog butler statue we negotiated from a vacation rental owner for $58, some paper towels, and a six-pack of beer.
We take you through the chaos of our epic grocery store miscalculation where we dropped $600 on enough food to feed an army (60 eggs, anyone?), the invention of our signature game "Bucket Ball" (which hilariously involves neither buckets nor balls), and the golf course shenanigans that led to one friend falling into three different ponds. You'll hear about our late-night poker games fueled by what we euphemistically call "poker chips" and the random encounters that only seem to happen when 12 married guys hit the road together.
Beyond the laughs, this episode captures something more profound – how these dedicated weekends away create space for genuine connection across our diverse group of friends. From teachers to doctors, construction workers to retirees, we've built something that transcends our different life paths. The Bart Bauer Bash isn't just about escaping responsibilities; it's about strengthening the bonds that keep us grounded throughout the year.

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.
