Hey besties! This is the very first episode of Mikey’s House, and I’m so glad you’re here.
In today’s episode, we’re starting things off strong with an honest, cozy introduction. I’ll be sharing who I am, why I started this podcast, and what you can expect from this space moving forward. After documenting my life with a neurodegenerative disease online for the past few years, I wanted to create a safe, unfiltered, and welcoming place where we can talk about everything. No censors. No pressure. Just real conversation.
To kick things off, I asked you to send me questions—and wow, you delivered. We're playing a little game of “21 Questions” (okay... maybe more like 26) that go from light and funny to deep, emotional, and everything in between. Nothing was off limits—from dating with a diagnosis, to my favorite bands, alien conspiracies, the weirdest dream I’ve ever had, and how my perspective on love and life has shifted.
This episode is filled with laughter, reflection, and a lot of heart. Whether you’ve followed me for a while or you’re just tuning in, this is a perfect way to get to know me—and hopefully feel a little more seen in the process.
Stick around until the end for my favorite part: “The Leftovers”—a segment where we get a little serious and end on a note of hope.
Thanks for coming over. Welcome to my house.

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.
