In this raw and real episode of Hip. Hope. Hooray! Men Talkin’ Health, host Oya Gilbert brings the mic to a powerful conversation among myeloma survivors who open up about the unsung heroes in their journeys — the care partners.

 

From marriage and brotherhood to friendship and faith, these men break down what it really means to love, live, and advocate while fighting cancer. They speak on gratitude, growth, heartbreak, and healing — and why protecting your peace is just as vital as protecting your health.

 

Featuring survivors Thomas Goode, Tony Newberne, and Michael Riotto, this episode honors the ones who hold it down behind the scenes — the caregivers, the partners, the family, the friends — because care partners need care too.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
