with factory install eight trapped eight track tape players. That's
right if you're too young. You really missed out on
eight track tapes. Now, they when you played them, they
were a combination of a compact disc and a Erubic's cube.
They were kind of tricky. Nineteen sixty nine it was
before Cosby Stills Nashing Young concert. Now they were backstage

New Amsterdam. Sixteen fifty five. The people of New Amsterdam
they fought in the Peach War Munsee Indians. They attacked

it was in retaliation for Munsey woman who was killed
for she was out picking peaches. Eighteen twenty one, Costa
Rica El Salvador Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. They all declared
their independence from Spain. Now Spain they were in no
position to try and stop them up. So what basically

(04:09):
what would you if you were a soldier, what would
your reaction be if you heard that a bunch of
willies were heading your way? In nineteen sixteen and World
War One, it scared the hell out of a bunch
of German soldiers seeing one of the battles of the

world history. Now they're nicknamed, yeah, they're called little willies now,
the little Willies. They had a crew of eight and

his foreign ambassador. So he sent Marco on diplomatic missions
throughout Southeast Asia, Burma, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, all that area
and stuff. Now, Polo he was also granted access to
all over China. So yeah, he was able to go
to places that no white guy had been before. So
after Marco had served for Kubla Khan for seventeen years,

(06:44):

so that she could get married Persia. That's how ran today.
So after Polo dropped her off, he just kept going.
Decided he wanted to go home to Venice. Yeah, he'd
been gone for twenty four years. When he got back,
he found out that Venice it was actually a war
with Genoa. You remember, Italy didn't become one country until
eighteen sixty one, so back then there were just a

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.
