Hello there. I'm Alex Defender,a public defender with a heart of gold
and a caseload heavier than a briefcasestuffed with law books. Let me tell
you about the day I unofficially dubbedthe trial of Trials, a day so
filled with absurdity it could have beena script straight out of a courtroom comedy.
The day started like any other,with me chugging my third cup of
coffee and reviewing my notes for whatI thought would be a straightforward day in

(00:23):
court. Oh, how naive Iwas. My first hint that the universe
had other plans came when I trippedover a rogue gavel on my way into
the court house. Yes, agavel. Don't ask me how it got
there. Some mysteries are best leftunsolved. My first case seemed simple enough,
defending a client caught jaywalking, easy, right wrong. My client,

(00:46):
mister swift Steps, had decided overnightthat he wanted to plead guilty, but
with a twist, he insisted ondelivering a dramatic monologue about the philosophical implications
of crossing roads and how, ina metaphorical sense, we are all jiwalking
through life. The Juje's expression wentfrom a musa to bewildered to downright exasperated

(01:08):
as mister Steps concluded his speech witha somber bow. No sooner had we
navigated the existential crisis of jaywalking thanI was thrust into the next case,
defending a lady accused of stealing aloaf of bread. What sounded like a
straightforward case of petty theft quickly turnedinto a performance worthy of Broadway. Miss

(01:29):
Breadwinner, a method actor in herspare time, had decided this was her
moment to shine. She re enactedthe alleged theft in court, complete with
dramatic pauses and tearful soliloquies about heruncontrollable passion for sourdow. Just when I
thought things couldn't get any more bizarre, my final case of the day involved
a parrot accused of disturbing the peacewith its incessant squawking. Yes, a

(01:53):
parrot in court. Its owner,a pirate enthusiast, argued that Polly was
merely exercising its freedom of speech orsquawk as it were. Polly, for
its part, contributed enthusiastically to theproceedings by mimicking the judge's request for order,
adding a r matie for good measure. The courtroom erupted into laughter,

(02:17):
and even the judge couldn't help butcrack a smile. By the end of
the day, I was mentally draftingmy resignation letter and contemplating a queer life
as a hermit, crab enthusiast.But as I pack it up my briefcase,
now stuffed with notes on philosophical jayWalker's breed, theft dramatizations, and
purady parrots, I couldn't help butchuckle. In the midst of the madness,

(02:39):
I'd found a strange sense of satisfaction. The trial of Trials taught me
that even in the most absurd moments, there's a story to be told,
a laugh to be shared, anda reminder not to take life or law
too seriously. And as for mycareer, well, let's just say I'm
sticking around for the next episode ofcourtroom comedy. After all, someone's got

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
