We kick off this week with a discussion around boners. Boners in bed. Boners in airplanes. Boners at the top of Mt. Everest. The gang also explore how AI can and very likely will play a role in diagnosing humans in ways that we couldn't have even imagined! Then the fellas have a frank conversation with Dr. Zac Seidler, Clinical psychologist and the Director of Mental Health Training at Movember! They chat about the mens mental health crisis, the problems with the term "toxic" masculinity and much more! For more info on Movember and what they are up to check out https://ca.movember.com/

Gender transition is hard at the best of times, but Travis is going through it during a goshdarn PANDEMIC. But Trav's story goes much deeper than just that! From Crohn’s to addiction to homelessness, he’s been through the ringer and overcame it all to live his truth.

Halloween is HERE! Kiddos be sure to look both ways, trust strangers in masks, and check your candy for laxatives. We dive deep into the history of stranger danger razor blades and broken glass during Halloween plus examine a study about those pesky anti-maskers and links to antisocial personality traits. Then we sit down with Dr Sean O'Sullivan, a psychotherapist who has spent an extensive amount of time researching the benefits of psychedelics as a therapeutic. A mind blowing and eye opening discussion into the history of psychedelics and how they can play a major role in the future treatment of a myriad of different issues.

Thomas Hartle never used drugs before his Stage IV cancer diagnosis. That’s changed thanks to Therapsil. A couple months ago, he became the first Canadian to legally use psychedelic mushrooms to treat end of life anxiety and depression. Take a listen to his story with an open mind.

Our friend and past Sickboy guest Justin Baldoni stops by for a little chat about his emotional and beautiful film Clouds. We talk about the importance of tapping into our more emotional side, the beauty of Zach Sobiech and his music, the process of creating a film that tells the personal story of someone who was loved by many. Clouds is now available to stream on Disney+. We highly suggest you go check it out!

This week is a heartfelt blast from the past. We spend our time chatting with Dakshana Bascaramurty, journalist and author of This Is Not the End of Me: Lessons on Living from a Dying Man - a book all about the life and death of our dear friend and OG Sickboy alum Layton Reid. The gang reminisces on his final years as he prepared his family & himself for his death from cancer. This is a special one.

The WAP debate continues. The gang discuss the bummer news story of an elderly woman who wanted to spend her last days with her dying husband by fighting him in court, then they obsess over a smart toilet. Then the fellas sit down with co-founder of Death Deck, Lori LoCicero! Think about it like Cards FOR Humanity. A fun, sometimes raunchy, sometimes somber, but hella important conversation starter about the one thing we all share in common.

It's October! The most spooky month of the year. This week's conversation revolves around a fairly common theme in every spooky story - Death! Although let's be clear, there isn't anything spooky about today's episode! The fellas sit down with Jeremy, a funeral home director, to talk about all things death and grief. Jeremy explains the importance of "process", the things he loves about grief and how to talk to children about death! We LOVED this conversation and hope you do too!

The gang lists off all the things that they are grateful for which inevitably spirals into a conversation about death and poop. Jeremie schools the gang on his mastery of accents and Lauren schools the dudes on the proper pronunciation of WAP. Then the gang chat with smart person Doctor David Larson all about Wastewater and the role it can play in COVID prevention!

This week we are joined by our dear friend Mike. He lowers his armour and with great courage allows us to delve into his traumatic and heart wrenching upbringing where he suffered devastating abuse at the hands of those who he thought he could trust. This is an episode where we bypass the laughs and hold space for someone who taps into an immense vulnerability. Listen with your hearts wide open.
