Speaker 1 (03:23):
I'm with Karen. I'm like, oh, I love Karen. Karen's great,
but she's still number three.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
But she I don't understand why you all can't be
number one.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
No, there needs to be an order.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
In my eyes on heart, you're all number one.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
It's not the way it works in my book. There
needs to be an order. And I know that I'm
number two and that's fine, but I might be slipping
because Eric was so excited to introduce me to Heather, Heather,
who I've really not heard much about. But he was
having a last the Heather and she was having a

(04:02):
blast Witheeric, and I was feeling vibes like I was
feeling friendship vibes like inching up to number three, which
would push Karen into number two spot, which would put
me down into number four, which I was not happy about.
So and then there were you guys were like laughing

(04:23):
at me and stuff. But I was like so upset.

Speaker 3 (04:26):

I know, I agree. I'm not laughing at you. I'm
loving him. That's that's a wild thing.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
To see, because well I know what he meant, because

So anyway, Yeah, the beach walk was funny.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
And then the reunion was fine. But you don't stay all.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
That long, we say a couple of hours. I will
say this, Karen and Heather and I were wild. Heather
brought these you guys don't even drink. No, this was
stone cold sober. Heather brought this mask that had a
butt on the front and a vagina in a butthole

(08:38):
on the back, and oh my god, it was hilarious.
And they had the house is so big that the
driveway that takes you up from where you parked. They
brought us up in golf carts and we were coming
from the main house down to the barn and Heather. Sorry,

(09:03):
Heather and I are in the back and she is
doing like poses and somebody got us on video with
the mask on with her legs like flying around here.
It was so funny. Where did you get that thing online?

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Oh my god?

Speaker 3 (09:20):
Yeah, I'll show it to you.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
I have an idea, and I don't know if this
is going to work out because you kind of have
to let somebody know that they're going to be on
the air. Let's call hunter.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
That is a truth. So that's that horrible, horrible, horrible
mat Okay, you can't. It's like all white it out.
But it's just like a big butt with like eyes
and a butt.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
And then this was the back. O.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
My god, it's terrible, terrible a badge. I told somebody
that I was gonna kick them in the badge today,
just as a joke, because that's your You haven't said that.
I haven't even said that to me, and and that
was like a man, you.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Know, But I don't have a desire to kick you
in the v will good thing.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
You will after you hear what I've been up to.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
By the way, we're not calling anybody without them knowing.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
I know, because I was going to say, I.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh, also, first of all, uncomfortable for everybody.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Oh, for sure, that's what I love.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Questionable typically, I live for uncomfortable. I live for making
you guys uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Making you really do Okay, you did the weird, the
wrong type of uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Oh we got kicked out of the Serenity Garden.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
What well, because you guys were being loud mouse?

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Well no, initially we were not. We were being very quiet.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
And then we will go to meditate.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Well apparently yes, because we started taking pictures and then
this lady saw us and she said, would you like
me to take a picture of the three of you?
So we did a totem pole we did where it
was Heather, me and then Karen, and we were all
talking like we had been to this lady, like she

(11:11):
was part of our group, and all of a sudden,
out of nowhere we hear speak quiet serenity.

Speaker 1 (11:19):
God, Yeah, you got, you got. You're banned. You're banned
from someplace? Finally? Are you banned from anywhere else? I forgot?

Speaker 3 (11:28):
I'm banned from uh ole Madrid? Oh you're no cafe Seville.
That's right, Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Brian Okay, okay, we have to. We're going to play
Hinge Cringe now. The reason I'm playing, I'm not trying
to make fun of people because you, as you will
see soon, I am probably the cringiest person that is
on Hinge.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
Yeah, you're not far.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
I'm not far. But these little voice notes that they
leave on their profile like, they make me laugh so
hard because I may have even left one on mine.
I think I have a voicemail on mine. I have
no idea what I said. I don't remember. I don't
even remember. But so I'm making fun of myself as
much as I am making fun of not really making

(12:14):
fun of them. But this is what is out there.
Let's see, let's see Hinge Cringe number one.

Speaker 5 (12:19):
Life is supposed to be fun, an adventure, and we're
not supposed to fear anything because we are all immortal
until that one day that we're not. I thought we
should act like it, have some fun every damn day.

(12:41):
You only got one run.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
Yeah. I do think he was drunk, he was smoking pot.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
He's probably stone out of his mind.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
I do like his voice actually all immortal. I think
he has a nicety voice.

Speaker 1 (12:52):
Though I what I pictured was like white hair and
a ponytail, like a guy like kind of like living
in a van anyway.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
Next thing about me is that sometimes I talk to
my daughter's cat, But then again, who doesn't talk.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
To their pets?

Speaker 4 (13:12):
And then sometimes I talk to myself because sometimes I
need professional advice, and who better to ask than myself.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
It sounds like that guy is laying in bed next
to me.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
Maybe maybe a therapist he should talk to.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Why is he start a breath too?

Speaker 1 (13:29):
I I don't know what is he doing while he's
saying that.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Yeah, this gives me like he's naked.

Speaker 3 (13:34):
I think he was masturbating.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
He's totally naked. He's fully prone. He's prone, for sure,
he's horizonal that maybe uncomfortable. He's horizontal.

Speaker 6 (13:44):
Excuse the accent, ladies, but I'm thinking about getting one
of my favorite quotes tattooed on my forum that says,
the devil whispering my ear, you're not strong enough to
withstand the storm. Today, I whispering the devil's ear. I
am the storm.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
Oh God, I.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Didn't mind his accent. Thought that was cool. Although that
don't mind my accent, ladies off the bats a little weird,
that is, perhaps the worst tattoo I have, like I have.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
Do you know you have an accent?

Speaker 1 (14:15):
How where would you put that?

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Probably two lines? But that's just that. No, it's not
even the tattoo. It's so that's very.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Face, like a Marvel character.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Yeah, it's like, you know, like the the meme of
like the the four year old Facebook moms that post
memes on their story that are like extra exercise. I
thought you said extra fries. That's like the male version.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
God.

Speaker 7 (14:40):
Okay, all right, together we could enjoy beautiful weather and
get to know each other.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
Sounds like, oh really, like what's the what's the black
guy's name for green Mile?

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Oh?

Speaker 7 (14:56):
Yes, together we could enjoy this beautiful weather and get
to know each other.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
What that guy's dead now, right, the guy that died
so good, so great, and green Mile, I know who
you're talking about. Oh my gosh, it totally sounds like him.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Yes, okay, now.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
Okay, now here's an update on the thirty two year
old apparently. Okay, now here's my here's the issue that
this is what happens to me. I'm like, this might
be my alcoholism coming out, because like I binge, I
binge on hinge and then I back away, and I
won't I'll be gone for like a week. So I'll

(15:35):
start all these conversations with these dudes. I'll start like
ten conversations. I'll start like ten of them, and then
i'll like get bored, or then I'll just get busy,
and then I won't be on there for like a week,
so I just leave them on Red, you know. And
so I'm horrible at this, and then apparently I'm horrible

(15:56):
at replying. And the guy, the thirty two year old
who I asked for his number and I said, he
goes to me. You know why he goes to me
because apparently he had given me his phone number and
told me to call him. And I didn't even realize
it because I had been talking to so many guys.

Speaker 3 (16:10):
Oh my god, So.

Speaker 1 (16:15):

Thought, I am, And how do you end it? Just
respond like you did to some of these other ones.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
I'm just not responding. That's how I'm ending in, which
is not polite.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
That's fine, That's that's what you should do. You should
and be like, hey, nice, going to meet you.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
I'm not start a conversation.

But where you at now is like where are you?

Speaker 1 (21:45):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Yeah, okay, so don't like and he says, no worries.

So you you actually said, you said what, oh my god?
And then Tuesday, two days later, three days later, you say,

(22:39):
does respond back to you. He gives his number, and
then he says hit me up exclamation point, and you say,

you do last night?

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (22:52):
I you'd be like, oh, I was at home, and
he's like, you'd be like I thought, so I was
outside your window and it looked like you would side.
That's the stop.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Let's remedy this right, now I'm not sure.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
If that's in the car, you should text him, stop
messaging him.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Okay, okay, all three of you.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
What are your intentions? What do you want?

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Well, obviously he's thirty two, I'm not looking for a.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Lot of text him and say what are you doing tonight?

Speaker 1 (23:28):
No, that's too forward.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
I don't You're right, not tonight, but on the night
you want to.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Okay, how about that? Any plans this week? Is that
not cringing Eric thoughts.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
I'm just saying, remember how guys do it is They
just say what are you doing tonight?

Speaker 1 (23:45):
I know it's so bad, worse it.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Is, But if you're trying, if you're trying to get
a guy, you're trying to speak his language. That's what
he's respond to. Now, I'm just saying I wouldn't do that.
But if that's just what you're looking for, what you
doing tonight is gonna that's gonna obviously not tonight, but
the night you're available. Yeah, I mean, if you want
say what are you doing this week? That kind of
sounds like you're making date plans though.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Not really.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
You don't text and say hey, you want to hook
up this weekend? No, of course, not exactly, But so what.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Look?

Speaker 2 (24:48):
If you're just trying to have a brief encounter.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
What it is I'm trying to start my slush phase.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
I'm being I'm being polite for the radio.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
I've never had a and.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
I want a little bit of and I would just say,
needs to get short and person impersonal.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
I can't do this. I don't know if I can do.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
Look how did he text you when he wanted to
just hook up one night? He said, what are you
doing tonight? That's how it goes.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Okay, okay, okay, okay, Yeah I don't want to yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, but but but it's on her term. She gets
to choose the night. I'm not saying do it tonight,
and you say you're not, Like, what are you doing tonight?
He's like I can come over you like, actually, no,
not tonight, tomorrow, I'm not.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
Gonna get all ready. And then I'm going to text him.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Two hours before and then like you say, I mean,
this is this is the this is the the struggle
of young people everywhere. You say, what do you do
to night? Said I'm free and you go she in
three hours. No wait, your advice was just to say hi, Look,
I would never do this. I'm just saying, if this
is what you're looking for, if you just text high,

(26:01):
that is the most That's what you said. I mean,
that's all. That's all right, that's fine.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
But it's a little like, as a man with more
wisdom in this room, what would you knowing what you
know and knowing what I want?

Speaker 6 (26:16):
Mm hmmm?

Speaker 1 (26:17):
What is my opening volley? On the text message?

Speaker 3 (26:27):
A good week so far?

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Awful?

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Why why I'm getting there's like nothing?

Speaker 2 (26:34):
Remember wait, wait, we've done this before. Remember we let
Eric text for you before, and remember it well, he went,
I hope you're having a great evening.

Speaker 1 (26:45):
You're totally old old me out. You made me like
I was so incredibly old.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Look I would say I would I would you say out?

Speaker 1 (27:00):
Most blocked me.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
It was unintentionable at most to say Hi, what are
you doing this weekend?

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (27:06):
Oh boy?

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Oh no, by the way, all my friends are there
and we're sharing a room. I wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
I wouldn't straight up, I'm not sleeping in the wet spot.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Okay, So the Lafayette the night right away?

Speaker 2 (27:26):
Okay, not right away, because otherwise I'd be like, oh sialk.
Like I wouldn't just be like match with the guy,
be like you want to come with me the Lafayette.
That's kind of odd, or.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
No, I'll be at the Lafayette.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
That's like a that's like a second encounter. I feel like, okay,
all right, if you want to say hi, what are
you doing this? What are you doing this weekend?

Speaker 3 (27:46):
Is not that what I said?

Speaker 2 (27:48):
No, No, he said hi, how is your week bend.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
Looking like?

Speaker 2 (27:54):
That's what he's initially That's okay, Well what is your
week looking like?

Speaker 6 (27:59):
Like?

Speaker 2 (27:59):
That's why I that's why text or email my clients
when I'm trying to schedule.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Meeting Eric all right now he is a client.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
I don't think this guy is going on Laura's Outlook County.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
I don't think he's going to be a paying client.
I don't think he I don't think you know.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
I think it's a bad idea. I don't just say what,
just say hi. But not super formal. Some some you know,
spelling mistakes are always good Hi.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
No they're not.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Yes, they are spelling mistakes. Whyse you look like Eric's
out you know, outlook calendar invite request, so.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
I look like a dumb should not be too formal.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
Okay, just trust me on this one.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
I try to do what you're doing, and I screwed
that up.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Oh then stop fighting me on all of that. Oh
my god, this is but but you should be doing
this over text. Do not message him anymore on the
that's crazy. Here's my number. Great, thanks. So are you
a North County What did you.

Speaker 5 (28:59):
Do last night?

Speaker 1 (29:02):
I don't know. Oh, I think because on his profile
it said like or something. I don't care. I don't
care where they live.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
The driving, okay, tell him, tell him if you're in
North County, you can come to my house to park
your car in my garage.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
Do not do not send any veil youe from. Don't
say that like that.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Are you're giving me mixed messages over here?

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Let me make this clear, don't listen to Eric.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
If I do what, you're giving me mixed messages because
you're saying, say, what are you doing tonight? And then
like hook up, and then you're saying, don't do that.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
I'm saying that's ideal. Look, I'm not a fan of this.
I'm just saying most look up look ups, most hookups
are pretty spontaneous. Yes, they are just said, like, look
at all her message is, that's all they are.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
What are you doing?

Speaker 2 (30:01):
What are you doing tonight? I'm just I'm just I'm
not I'm just saying, Well, my point is, that's just
how most of them happen. So your greatest odds of success,
especially for guys who will typically drop everything to meet
up with a chick. Now, alternatively, what's probably good enough
is you can say, hi, what are you doing this weekend?

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Okay, okay, and I'm not going to meet him at
his house first thing. I got to meet him out
in the public first, because that's proper Well.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
That's not the hookup.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Then well, well, don't meet him at his house. Like
what if I if I go there see him and I'm.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Like nothing to his house?

Speaker 3 (30:43):
Yeah, I haven't meet you at the Lofty yet, but
if you want to bone, you're gonna have to go
in an alley, okay, or somebody else's room.

Speaker 5 (30:52):
Well.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
It also complicates things that you're sobers, because it's typically
you meet at a bar and you go back to
someone's place.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
But I am no, I can, I can, I can do.
I can do all the things that I've ever done
sober that I had drunk. It just takes a little
bit more encouraging.

Speaker 2 (31:09):
Yeah, you can meet the bar and go from there.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah, that would be better. I'd rather do that, because
what if I meet him and I'm like, Okay, this
dude looks nothing like his picture. He's like five foot five,
and I can't deal so and then I'm stuck with
him in his house.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Now, then I'll just start making out.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
Well no, don't, don't under no circumstance my backup. Yeah yeah,
don't house. That's crazy.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
No, Yeah, that like that's that's that screams desperation. I'm
driving all the way to Anthon, but I am I
don't want to broadcast that I'm desperate. No, I'm not.
I'm not desperate. I'm just I just need to get
back in the game, That's all there is to it.

(31:51):
And I'm getting there slowly, but.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Really slowly, like really slowly, surely but not sure.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Wow, she's not close to anything with some of these messages.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
I just love how she ghosts everybody I know. I like,
I'll go for a.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
Week and not talk to them, and then because I
forget about it.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Sounds like you're gonna rob someone because you'll message where
do you live? And then they'll respond and then you'll
ghost them. Like, oh my god, there house getting broken
into apologize.

Speaker 3 (32:24):
Oh my god, you really do. I've been really busy
with your with your just for fans page.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
My only fans page.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
I'm like older than you. Are you into that kind
of thing or just into the person? I don't know
what I'm trying to say.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (32:43):
You know, if if it's a kink for them, why
just because why would you start off with that?

Speaker 3 (32:48):
This is this is cringey. I can't. I can't.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
It's real.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Even if I was into older women and kinka, you
wouldn't that message i'd be like, okay, so yeah, that's
so over there.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
I'm too much.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
You really are?

Speaker 1 (33:05):
How am I gonna tell myself?

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Dan? You can be much? Just you have no tact.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
I just don't.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
It's like you throw a dart at a board thor
full of awful things to say and you just picked one.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
Oh my god, it's as Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
I've got this. Okay, I'm going to text Hunter tonight.

give it to Eric. I trust Eric.

No, I want Eric to do it because I can't.
I need I need a little encouragement and help.

can have Eric come over, you have Eric ban okay.

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.
