This one? Completely off the rails. In true Half Hearted fashion, we throw structure out the window and let the chaos lead. From unfiltered rants to weird tangents, questionable impressions, and emotional whiplash — it’s a full ride. Chronic illness? Family drama? Mental health spirals? Yep, still here. But so are the laughs, the WTF moments, and the kind of honesty you can only get when you’re running on no sleep and a little too much emotional baggage. No theme. No rules. Just us being the beautifully dysfunctional Fockers we are. Buckle up.

Episode 2: In this episode of Half Hearted, we’re getting real about something way messier than any diagnosis: family. We talk anger — the kind that bubbles up when you're constantly explaining your condition, when your siblings don’t get it, or when love starts to feel like pressure. From fights at the dinner table to quiet resentment, we unpack what it's like to carry a chronic illness and complicated relationships.

We get honest about accepting our heart conditions — not just medically, but emotionally — and all the chaos that comes with it. Spoiler: it’s not peaceful. It’s not always pretty. But it’s real.

Whether you're screaming into a pillow, crying in the car, or learning how to forgive people who mean well but miss the mark — this one's for you.

In this heartfelt premiere of the Half Hearted Podcast, we open up about the loss of a close friend and how that deep grief reshaped our lives. Through raw emotion, honest reflection, and a shared love for movies, TV, comics, and pop culture, we explore how humor, storytelling, and connection helped us find light in the darkest moments. Join us as we remember our friend, talk about the healing power of fandom, and dive into the shows and characters that remind us to keep moving forward. Whether you’re grieving, healing, or just looking for a thoughtful take on geek culture, this episode is for you.
