Let’s dive into the wild world of Sheriff Buford Pusser and the legendary flick "Walking Tall." This dude was not just a sheriff; he was a one-man army against all the moonshine, gambling, and corruption running rampant in his hometown of Adamsville, Tennessee. With a big stick and an even bigger heart, Buford took on the criminal underworld like a superhero in a cowboy hat, facing down bullets and knives like they were just pesky mosquitoes. Scott and Jenn are here to guide us through Buford's epic journey from local hero to national legend, complete with his crazy adventures and the dark side of fame. So grab your popcorn and get ready for some serious storytelling that’ll leave you saying, “Wow, that guy really walked tall!”

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.
