Just kidding, it's not spectacular in the least.

Enjoy another regular old episode of Jacques, Joe and Biff talking about standup comedy, NHL hockey and TV watching. Oh, and Jacques does a very good deed for someone on the end of the country... the better end, some might say. Not to be confused with the "bitter end", to which is what we encourage you to listen to this whole episode.

And, you're welcome, no opening or closing music....

Jacques, Biff and Joe talk about the passing of Pope Francis, the latest political shenangeans of a certain dictatorial administration, and the NHL playoffs.

    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.
