It’s been a BIG week. People are feeling some kinda way. We understand. And today’s episode is our official call to UNITY.
But first, we’re gonna have to make fun of some of you just a little bit.
Actually, we’re gonna be calling out the losers and the winners, because making fun of everyone equally is the American way.
Our Gen X listeners can handle it. We’re a resilient bunch.
That’s not a question, by the way. We’re telling you what’s new right now - with us, the country, the world, pop culture. According to the news and online trends, there are all sorts of things we’re supposed to care about at the moment. We looked into these ridiculous things so you don’t have to.

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.
If you've ever wanted to know about champagne, satanism, the Stonewall Uprising, chaos theory, LSD, El Nino, true crime and Rosa Parks, then look no further. Josh and Chuck have you covered.
