I do mostly have Canadian comedians on this show, because that’s who I know, but this week is different. My guest is a guy 21-years into standup, who started in his native Baltimore, it’s Larry XL on Starting Out! I did a week with Larry and Paul Myrehaug about 5 years ago at Absolute Kingston, and knew he’d be a thoughtful guest, so I was excited when I ran into him again and he agreed to come on. Larry XL’s is a club favorite with audiences from Florida to Canada. He’s been a finalist in comedy competitions in Baltimore and neighboring cities like Washington, DC and Philadelphia. Give Larry a follow @comedianlarryXL, and he’s also a musician and you can find his latest release “Autopilot” under the name Scornstar. Thanks for listening.

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.
