What happens when the internet turns your fandom into content — and your pain into punchlines?

 In this episode of Heart of a Fan, we explore the culture of being a New York Mets fan in the age of memes. Through humor, heartbreak, and hard-won loyalty, we reflect on what it means to support a team that’s often the butt of the joke — and how fans reclaim the narrative on their own terms.

From viral gifs to emotional investment, this is a conversation about online identity, resilience, and the love that lives beneath the laughs.
