Is Elon Musk really just the DeLorean of our times? Join us for a rollercoaster episode as we take a playful swipe at some of the biggest personalities in politics and tech. We kick things off with a humorous look at Norman Chad's legendary status before diving into the curious world of political priorities during the early days of the Trump administration. With a satirical slant, we ponder why leaders dream of space escapades while the world's mundane issues grow like weeds. Throw in a peculiar tale of Musk gifting a Tesla Cybertruck and the ensuing debate over its potential uses, and you've got a recipe for chaos and comedy.
Our journey doesn't stop there. We bring on the legendary poker commentator Norman Chad, whose wit and candor add a special flair to our exploration of poker and gambling. The guests share their insider stories, revealing the stark contrasts between the old guard of poker players and the new generation fueled by online strategy. As we navigate the cultural significance of poker and debate the emotional highs and lows, Chad’s amusing anecdotes and insights capture the unique allure of the game and its intertwined history with American culture.
In our final act, we tackle the ego-driven escapades of Elon Musk and Donald Trump, analyzing their larger-than-life personas through a lens of humor and critique. We explore Musk's social quirks and Trump’s grand gestures with religious texts, all while highlighting the spectacle of political dynasties and their potential impact on America's future. All the while, we invite you to engage with us on social media, share your thoughts, and perhaps even join us on the show. This episode promises a lively blend of comedy, satire, and critical examination that will leave you entertained and eager for more.

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.
