We’re kicking off a brand-new Summer Series hosted by Taylor Twellman and Dax McCarty, bringing you all the best stories and debates across MLS, the USMNT, Club World Cup, and beyond — every week through the summer. In Episode 1, Landon Donovan’s comments on Christian Pulisic spark major reaction — with Pulisic’s dad firing back and Taylor & Dax weighing in on the USMNT’s off-field tension. Is there a deeper problem behind the scenes? We also dive into the revamped Club World Cup: is the group stage a bust or a brilliant idea? And why LAFC explored signing Cristiano Ronaldo — but why it likely won't happen. Plus: MLS midseason grades, Ribéry vs Ronaldo for the Ballon d’Or, and why Lionel Messi is the “GM” of Inter Miami. 📺 Watch now and subscribe on YouTube, Spotify & Apple Podcasts.

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.
