In this Christmas special of The Garage Mind, Tony takes listeners deep into the heart of his heritage — the Ortiz bloodline, a family shaped by grit, pride, tradition, and the spirit of Puerto Rico.
This episode explores where the Ortiz name comes from, how Tony’s grandfather Bartolo Ortiz built the foundation of his family, and why understanding your roots matters now more than ever.
Tony shares the stories, the history, the culture, and the Christmas traditions that shaped him — from coquito and parranda nights to the lessons passed down through generations.
It’s a mix of family legacy, Puerto Rican history, and real talk about identity, resilience, and the power of knowing who you are.
This is a personal, emotional, and meaningful holiday episode — one built from love, memory, and the heart of the Ortiz family.
Feliz Navidad… from the Ortiz bloodline to yours.
