Time is a ridiculously funny thing, isn’t it? When Elyse and I started recording these talks, I don’t think that either of us could’ve imagined how relevant they’d be so many months later. This last talk in particular feels appropriate in opposition to this time of division, apathy and anguish that we’re currently living through. In 2025, the word ‘hope’ almost feels childish to reflect on, but there’s a vitality to that word that cannot be overstated. That the need for hope has to exist across ourselves internally and externally, especially as we continue to navigate the darkness of the world. I want to thank Elyse massively for how she’s opened her heart across these talks. Her willingness to share her doubts, uncertainties and fears is something I find so damn brave, and I hope it helps you listeners out there to feel less alone. As Father John Misty says on Pure Comedy “each others all we’ve got” (intro song is Pale Cerule by Ajwaa).
This is episode 5 of From My Eyes (من عيوني) with Elyse Blennerhassett.

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.
