Speaker 1 (00:03):
Welcome to the Parenting Roundabout podcast. I'm Terry Morrow and
I'm Catherine hileco. As parents and parenting writers, we can't
help but see everything through a parenting lens. But as
our kids have become adults, we find ourselves more interested
in getting caught up on movies and streaming than I'm
going over the same parenting topics over and over.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So since we're pretty sure we can find parenting wisdom anywhere,
we're going to talk about what we're watching, what we
thought about it, and maybe what we can learn from it,
if only what not to do. Watch and listen along,
and let's all make like we're doing something important for
our families. Each Wednesday we bring you our thoughts on
a newer entertainment property, And for this week of September
(00:45):
twenty ninth, we're continuing with season five of Only Murders
in the Building and it's episode five called Tongue Tied,
which is a reference I guess to Tommy the Tongue
who which is a name that.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Comes up with off whatsoever?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, very little. The best thing about this episode, I
would say was the return of Detective Williams.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yes, but briefly and very briefly, not really herself. I
don't know. It was sort of like like the Greatest
Hits thing where okay, remember her, Yeah, let's do let's
do a minute or two with her, and then remember
this other person and then we got this person.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
But she did she did have a parenting tip for us,
which is, if you're if you're on you know, sort
of on the outs or different from the other parents,
make sure you follow the procedures to the letter. When
you're the snack mom, you better bring the snack, like, yes,
don't let don't let anybody down, or they're gonna come
(01:59):
for you.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Because that is true.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
You don't have you don't have the backing of the group,
and you're.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Accurate, yes, but you also still have to do those
things because you want to eventually either ingratiate yourself or
just become the acknowledged as part of the group. Right right,
This was Yes, my practice is a special education mom.
(02:26):
You know I'm gonna be there. I'm going to be
doing the things. So you can't say, oh, those moms
never come to anything or never do anything. Hello over
here here, I am. Yeah, I was doing it for everybody.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I'm sure they appreciate it. Well, so what else we had?
And somebody pointed this out on a recap that I read.
Howard is acting very squirrely.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
I mean, Howard never not acted squirreling well.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
But there's something different about him, like he's sort of
more confident in his his seemingly evil ways.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
He has his own podcast now, so he's like unequal footage.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, and he's got he somehow put himself in charge
of the robot doorman and he's just sort of, you
know something, he's not the like sort of shrinking violet
that he was. Yeah, but he did have a good
(03:34):
line about how you know now that he has a
cat and a dog, they made him a third wheel
in his own night, which amused me.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, he's I mean, he's also doing the official Only
Murders in the Building podcast Michael Cyril Crichton, who plays Howard,
and so there's just a lot of him, yeah, all over,
and I don't I mean, I feel like he's perhaps
(04:07):
best as a as spice and not a main ingredient. Yeah,
and that it's possible to lean on it a little
too hard. But what the heck? How many seasons in
are we here? You know he's been here from the beginning,
So was he always on the opening like a cartoon
(04:28):
on the opening credits?
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It's like a thing that every week he's walking with
something different.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, I mean, I think they've always like switched up
the opening credits with something that's like a little easter egg.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Ye. So's they seem to all envelovevolve Howard this year,
this season. I don't know if they always did. But
another question I have about the opening credits. And I
understand that there's really nothing they can do about it,
but still they're showing the front of the build and
they're going in on each person's window as they've done
since the beginning. Mabel's window is no longer facing the street,
(05:07):
Isn't she like on a different tower altogether?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yes, you're correct.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
The camera needs to go whoo shoo, shoo. Shoot, there's
her way around the block. She's just she's just visiting
a friend.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Yeah. Well, I mean, and they never show her with
those big headphones anymore. And that's those are in the
opening credits.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Too, Yes, that's true.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
That's and like the ones of Charles are still him
like making an omelet, like he did in the first season.
So basically they've.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, so to just have a lot more Howard.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Just keep adding things but not subtracting or changing.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
I guess they want to just yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, what do we What do we have?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I wondered if Charles had some ailment that he was
like talking to a doctor about. But no, it's testosterone.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Testosterone which is making him crazy.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Which according to the official podcast on which a couple
of the writers were the last time the episode for
the podcast episode for this episode Yeah had writers JJ
Philbin and somebody else whose name I don't know because
I don't know anybody in that person's family, as I
(06:34):
do with J. J. Philbin, but mentioned that it was
Steve Martin's idea to have it be testostercon So I
don't know if this means Steve is florided with testosterone,
or if it's a thing that guys his age get,
you know, in ads on Facebook or in late night
ads or something, and he just thought it was funny whatever.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
I've seen like highway billboard ads for it, so I
think I think it's.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Out there on the highway billboard ads in New Jersey
or for personal injury lawyers yeah, somebody has injured in
New Jersey dot com and they have a big billboard
with it. School.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah, we have those too, but yeah, and we have
all the the you know, recreational cannabis, which is not
legal in our state but is in two neighboring states, so.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
They have just don't use it till you cross.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
They have helpfully let us know how long it would
take us to drive there to their establishment.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Oh my goodness. Yeah, well, I guess your state's happy
to take the billboard money. So well. So another a
parenting tip here might be do not bring your adult
children to your.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Date, as Taliani's character does.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yes, they're all They're gonna sit at their own table.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
He's turning thirty six, it's his birthday. And one of
them is like, Mom, I hat salad?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Do they have buttered noodles? Yeah? I don't know. My
daughter is thirty five and.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Probably might be ordering some buttered noodles.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
She her, Yeah, she and her brother go to go
out to eat sometimes, but I know she won't. She
won't go to a restaurant where she has to like,
that's not a pay up front restaurant, one where they
bring the check and she has to figure out tips
and all that stuff. She doesn't. She won't go by
herself to those restaurants.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
So, you know, so the Habaji place is a little beyond.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
That's right, that would be out all question. Excuse me
for for that. We I know one time for my
son's birthday party, and he was it might have been
his twenty first birthday. But I thought, we'll go to
a restaurant and the parents, because the parents always come,
We'll sit at one table and we'll have the kids
(09:14):
sit at their own table. We'll let the waitress know
we're paying, and if there's any problem, let us know.
But the other couple of the other moms were very
very nervous about this, like they're just they were about
as far from us as the boys were, yeah, in
the hibachi place, and it's like, really, I think that
they can they can eat, but maybe not pick out
(09:38):
their own food. I don't know, but you know, it's
a little I don't think that we're supposed to think
her her kids are have disabilities of any sort, so
it's a little different. But it did remind me of that,
and honestly, maybe she should get them tested.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Well, yeah, or it's just they've been coddled, you know,
for a very long time. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Well, yes, at a certain point.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
We're taking a break from screens.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
At least. I'm pretty sure they weren't bat in the
back of the minivan when Uh and Charles were getting
it on. I hope, I don't know, Charles, h Carl Lady,
you might be surprised. Yeah, and uh, gut milk need
(10:35):
a return? Were you dying for gut milk return? I
remembered it when they mentioned it, but would have been
happy too.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yeah, Well, especially that it came back in pellet form.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
That's just writers having fun. I guess I can't be
grudge that we got the mayor back briefly.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yes, and now we know for sure that he is
the mayor. He's not a candidate, which is okay.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
We didn't.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
We weren't sure right at his last appearance what his
deal was. Right, He's out and about quite a bit
for a for a New York City mayor.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
And there's that young woman standing behind him all the time.
I think she calls her ROMI Yes, I wonder if
she will be turned out to be either extremely observant
or useful somewhere in some other way.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Or suspect, which is a theory I read.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Right, she has she has to be there for some
reason exactly otherwise otherwise there's no need to name her, right, right,
So this is what we learned watching TV.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yes, the law of economy of the character.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You're going to hear him again, Yes, Chekhov's that's right.
So at the very end we I guess Charles has
left his phone in What's the What's Teo? Leoni's Sophia
(12:15):
in Sophia's car, and they are using the Find My
Phone to find it, which means that Mabel has had
their phones in her Find my phone all this time,
which of course she has, and as I do with
my family members, but who cannot be trusted anyway with technology.
(12:38):
They follow her and they find they pull up in
front of a house that she's going into, and at
the same time, the detective is telling them something about
this particular address and who should open the door. But Diane.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Luster's widows.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
What does this mean? The two widows getting together? What
can it mean?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yes, that is the end of episode. Cliffhanger.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
This it is probably just a misunderstand They're just buddies.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, they both have dealt with husbands who were that's
true sort of.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, that's true, right, how will this work out?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Oh and there was also a thing in this episode
about how someone made an offer on Oliver's apartment. Oh yes,
and Mabel was distraught at the thought of him leaving.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Because I've committed to this building. I bought a couch.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
And she's basically like, you're my friend, don't leave.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yes, she doesn't need two old man friends to leave.
And then she's left with nothing but THEE.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
THEE and Howard.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, leave the couch, just get out of their Honey,
you're a smart girl. You could actually get a regular job.
I bet.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Maybe move to someplace less expensive than New York City.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Moved to Flatbush. That's next week's episode.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Although they, I mean they they have this movie money, right,
And then they mentioned the movie. Did the movie actually happen?
It would be crazy famous if they made a movie
about them specifically, right. They need to either make a
joke that it was a bomb or nobody saw it,
or the studio paid them but did nothing with it,
(14:54):
or I feel like it hasn't She shouldn't be apologizing
to her friend because there's a movie about mate, but I.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Feel like it hasn't come out yet because maybe they
were just making it at the end of last season
and then Lester died and so the season basically picked
up right where the other one left off.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I mean, I'm not arguing that the movie thing isn't stupid.
I think it's pretty stupid. Yes, but as long as
you've got it there, yeah, she should be able to
afford a nicer apartment. I just say, right, well, and
also they now have a building. They now have this deal.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
This podcast deal, even though they're supposed to not talk
about it.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Also right, this is also well, they can talk about
the murder. They just can't accuse the billionaires right right, right,
which I would think they would want the notoriety honestly. Yeah,
well he's talking about them now.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, and they were completely absent from this episode, so
that's surely not going to last.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Right, No, I would I would think not.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
They spent so much time setting up those cares.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I don't think you get those particular those Renee Zellwegger
and Christoph Watts if you're just going to be using them.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Right, just like, Okay, you're good, we're done.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Well then Leerman. Maybe I don't know that you'll know
him that well, but probably Yeah. And do we have
any other parenting tips? Tell your children? Well, I mean
we did, so they don't get in a situation they
don't want to stand. We did.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Get, you know, sort of that reinforcement for the value
of find my iPhone, of tracking your family on their device.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
You know that TILIONI has all those boys on her
Find my iPhone. Possibly they might be microchipped on something
I've thought of, m that will be wrong. And uh,
(17:07):
Lester number one ri i P soon to be replaced
by Lester number two. Yeah, actually rip soon to be
replaced by Lester number three. Yeah I okay, yep, Howard
says of the whole roboticist of it all, isn't that
(17:28):
dystopian and fabulous? I think is the general vibe of
our society right now? Yeah, okay, yeah, this can be
really bad, but isn't it cool?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Like, I just have an imaginary friend here on my
phone and it'll talk to me and look however I
wanted to look. You know, I can tell in all
my problems saying, they can tell me to kill myself
and will be great exactly dystopian and fabulous. Exactly, Well,
(18:02):
where do we go next with this thing? Next we
go to flat enthusiastic about it than we were last week.
M still, yeah, we'll watch it.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, I'm I don't know, I'm a little I'm still
I think I'm still a little. Uh, I don't know, like, yeah, yes,
I'll continue.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
But yeah, so but yes, next week.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Uh, it's episode six and it is called a Flatbush.
So apparently we're getting on some of Oliver's backstory because
he's from there.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Oh boy, I think we were all just that's what
that this this season needed. It was Oliver's backstory. Yeah, absolutely, alrighty,
so that'll.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Be next Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
The uh the official podcast mentioned that episode nine, I
believe it was was a real chair durgner. Oh, how
many episodes are there this season?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah, that's I was wondering that myself.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I think they said episode nine and not episode six,
so it might have been episode six. I think it
was nine, Pretty sure it was.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
This is six looks like ten altogether?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Wow? Have they always been ten?
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I feel like they've been they've been. Oh four was
last season was ten?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Yeah? Season three was ten?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
All right?
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Season two ten.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
So yeah, and this one we're talking about now is episode.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
We just finished with it. We're this was episode five.

with it. School.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Yeah, we have those too, but yeah, and we have
all the the you know, recreational cannabis, which is not
legal in our state but is in two neighboring states, so.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
They have just don't use it till you cross.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
They have helpfully let us know how long it would
take us to drive there to their establishment.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Oh my goodness. Yeah, well, I guess your state's happy
to take the billboard money. So well. So another a
parenting tip here might be do not bring your adult
children to your.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Date, as Taliani's character does.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Yes, they're all They're gonna sit at their own table.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
He's turning thirty six, it's his birthday. And one of
them is like, Mom, I hat salad?
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Do they have buttered noodles? Yeah? I don't know. My
daughter is thirty five and.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Probably might be ordering some buttered noodles.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
She her, Yeah, she and her brother go to go
out to eat sometimes, but I know she won't. She
won't go to a restaurant where she has to like,
that's not a pay up front restaurant, one where they
bring the check and she has to figure out tips
and all that stuff. She doesn't. She won't go by
herself to those restaurants.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
So, you know, so the Habaji place is a little beyond.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
That's right, that would be out all question. Excuse me
for for that. We I know one time for my
son's birthday party, and he was it might have been
his twenty first birthday. But I thought, we'll go to
a restaurant and the parents, because the parents always come,
We'll sit at one table and we'll have the kids
(09:14):
sit at their own table. We'll let the waitress know
we're paying, and if there's any problem, let us know.
But the other couple of the other moms were very
very nervous about this, like they're just they were about
as far from us as the boys were, yeah, in
the hibachi place, and it's like, really, I think that
they can they can eat, but maybe not pick out
(09:38):
their own food. I don't know, but you know, it's
a little I don't think that we're supposed to think
her her kids are have disabilities of any sort, so
it's a little different. But it did remind me of that,
and honestly, maybe she should get them tested.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Well, yeah, or it's just they've been coddled, you know,
for a very long time. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Well, yes, at a certain point.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
We're taking a break from screens.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
At least. I'm pretty sure they weren't bat in the
back of the minivan when Uh and Charles were getting
it on. I hope, I don't know, Charles, h Carl Lady,
you might be surprised. Yeah, and uh, gut milk need
(10:35):
a return? Were you dying for gut milk return? I
remembered it when they mentioned it, but would have been
happy too.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Yeah, Well, especially that it came back in pellet form.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
That's just writers having fun. I guess I can't be
grudge that we got the mayor back briefly.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yes, and now we know for sure that he is
the mayor. He's not a candidate, which is okay.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
We didn't.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
We weren't sure right at his last appearance what his
deal was. Right, He's out and about quite a bit
for a for a New York City mayor.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
And there's that young woman standing behind him all the time.
I think she calls her ROMI Yes, I wonder if
she will be turned out to be either extremely observant
or useful somewhere in some other way.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Or suspect, which is a theory I read.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Right, she has she has to be there for some
reason exactly otherwise otherwise there's no need to name her, right, right,
So this is what we learned watching TV.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yes, the law of economy of the character.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
You're going to hear him again, Yes, Chekhov's that's right.
So at the very end we I guess Charles has
left his phone in What's the What's Teo? Leoni's Sophia
(12:15):
in Sophia's car, and they are using the Find My
Phone to find it, which means that Mabel has had
their phones in her Find my phone all this time,
which of course she has, and as I do with
my family members, but who cannot be trusted anyway with technology.
(12:38):
They follow her and they find they pull up in
front of a house that she's going into, and at
the same time, the detective is telling them something about
this particular address and who should open the door. But Diane.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Luster's widows.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
What does this mean? The two widows getting together? What
can it mean?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yes, that is the end of episode. Cliffhanger.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
This it is probably just a misunderstand They're just buddies.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, they both have dealt with husbands who were that's
true sort of.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Yeah, that's true, right, how will this work out?
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Oh and there was also a thing in this episode
about how someone made an offer on Oliver's apartment. Oh yes,
and Mabel was distraught at the thought of him leaving.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Because I've committed to this building. I bought a couch.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
And she's basically like, you're my friend, don't leave.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Yes, she doesn't need two old man friends to leave.
And then she's left with nothing but THEE.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
THEE and Howard.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Yeah, leave the couch, just get out of their Honey,
you're a smart girl. You could actually get a regular job.
I bet.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Maybe move to someplace less expensive than New York City.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Moved to Flatbush. That's next week's episode.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Although they, I mean they they have this movie money, right,
And then they mentioned the movie. Did the movie actually happen?
It would be crazy famous if they made a movie
about them specifically, right. They need to either make a
joke that it was a bomb or nobody saw it,
or the studio paid them but did nothing with it,
(14:54):
or I feel like it hasn't She shouldn't be apologizing
to her friend because there's a movie about mate, but I.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Feel like it hasn't come out yet because maybe they
were just making it at the end of last season
and then Lester died and so the season basically picked
up right where the other one left off.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I mean, I'm not arguing that the movie thing isn't stupid.
I think it's pretty stupid. Yes, but as long as
you've got it there, yeah, she should be able to
afford a nicer apartment. I just say, right, well, and
also they now have a building. They now have this deal.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
This podcast deal, even though they're supposed to not talk
about it.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Also right, this is also well, they can talk about
the murder. They just can't accuse the billionaires right right, right,
which I would think they would want the notoriety honestly. Yeah,
well he's talking about them now.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yeah, and they were completely absent from this episode, so
that's surely not going to last.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Right, No, I would I would think not.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
They spent so much time setting up those cares.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
I don't think you get those particular those Renee Zellwegger
and Christoph Watts if you're just going to be using them.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Right, just like, Okay, you're good, we're done.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Well then Leerman. Maybe I don't know that you'll know
him that well, but probably Yeah. And do we have
any other parenting tips? Tell your children? Well, I mean
we did, so they don't get in a situation they
don't want to stand. We did.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Get, you know, sort of that reinforcement for the value
of find my iPhone, of tracking your family on their device.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
You know that TILIONI has all those boys on her
Find my iPhone. Possibly they might be microchipped on something
I've thought of, m that will be wrong. And uh,
(17:07):
Lester number one ri i P soon to be replaced
by Lester number two. Yeah, actually rip soon to be
replaced by Lester number three. Yeah I okay, yep, Howard
says of the whole roboticist of it all, isn't that
(17:28):
dystopian and fabulous? I think is the general vibe of
our society right now? Yeah, okay, yeah, this can be
really bad, but isn't it cool?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:41):
Like, I just have an imaginary friend here on my
phone and it'll talk to me and look however I
wanted to look. You know, I can tell in all
my problems saying, they can tell me to kill myself
and will be great exactly dystopian and fabulous. Exactly, Well,
(18:02):
where do we go next with this thing? Next we
go to flat enthusiastic about it than we were last week.
M still, yeah, we'll watch it.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, I'm I don't know, I'm a little I'm still
I think I'm still a little. Uh, I don't know, like, yeah, yes,
I'll continue.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
But yeah, so but yes, next week.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Uh, it's episode six and it is called a Flatbush.
So apparently we're getting on some of Oliver's backstory because
he's from there.
Speaker 1 (18:46):

that this this season needed. It was Oliver's backstory. Yeah, absolutely, alrighty,
so that'll.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
The uh the official podcast mentioned that episode nine, I
believe it was was a real chair durgner. Oh, how
many episodes are there this season?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yeah, that's I was wondering that myself.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I think they said episode nine and not episode six,
so it might have been episode six. I think it
was nine, Pretty sure it was.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
This is six looks like ten altogether?
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Wow? Have they always been ten?
Speaker 2 (19:33):

Yeah? Season three was ten?

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.
