“Chapters 13 & 14: Pages 205-234”

Meri and Janelle open up about the Brown family's jump into the limelight as they kick off the "Celebrity" section of the book. Lights, camera - but never without a stitch of makeup, Meri reflects on the chaos of starring in a reality TV program, the joys of meeting Matthew McConaughey, and living her dream of building a more accepting and tolerant world for Leon to enjoy. Janelle echoes (most of) Meri's sentiments from a strikingly similar writing outline, and reveals her secrets to marital bliss while Tom Green catches a few strays.

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.
