Sickboy

This week on Sickboy Podcast the fellas sit down with each other and catch up over stories of flame throwers, Polio, Bowen technique, pimple popping and more. Jeremie threw his back out, like, really badly. Tay got bit by some exotic insect while in Nicaragua and it didn't turn out well. Brian gets far too high. OH and Brandon is back... unfortunately so is his cancer. Having this be the fourth time it's come back Bran and the boys chat about what his options are and how he's feeling mentally. A busy episode with tons of jam packed action!

How do you tell your eleven year old daughter that you have a brain tumour that will very likely take your life? Do you censor yourself for her sake? Do you pretend it's not there? Do you just follow your gut and talk to her like any other human being?

This week on Sickboy the fellas sit down with one of the coolest moms they've ever met, Charmaine! Blind in one eye, diagnosed with bipolar and sitting on a ticking time bomb brain tumour in her right frontal lobe that could take her out at any point. Are mental illness and brain tumours related? (We have no friggin idea) Is Lollapalooza kid friendly? (most definitely) Are Jeremie and Taylor too hard on Brian? (Too be determined). We love Charmaine! We love this recording and we know you will too!

This week on Sickboy we sit down with Will MacGregor; a man whos braved the medical system, run the gauntlet of tests and treatments, and has advocated for himself to receive the care he needs. His mysterious and fascinating story involves a diagnosis of Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome that has lead to a series of unfortunate complications that we explore in this in-depth chat.

With Taylor away in sunny Nicaragua, the guys invited special guest host, Andrew The Camera Guy, to help reign things in. Evidently, by the length of this conversation, he did a shit job at keeping things on track… or perhaps this was just a case of a long rollercoaster-of-a-story detailing Will’s battle with WPW and it’s associated complications! After listening to this episode you’ll pretty much be a doctor, so hold on tight, take some notes, and get ready to learn a shit load!

This week on Sickboy we're LIVE from SAIT in Calgary Alberta! The fellas sit down with very special guest Matthew Corkum! He's a meteorologist, has his Ph.D., drives a sports car, has incredibly jacked biceps, all the while is dealing with Spastic Cerebral Palsy. Jeremie's thinks if you cross your eyes they'll stay that way. Taylor invites friends over to watch him bike in his living room, Brian tells horrible wind jokes, and Matt reminisces about growing his giant pumpkins patches. The drinks we're flowing and the crowd was incredible! We had an amazing time at SAIT and can't wait to go back.

What do you call a little blue devil that speaks in tongues and wants to bury itself in your ears? Well, we’re not really sure, but Siobhan might know… she met a curious creature like this during her experience with Bipolar 2!

This week on Sickboy, we dive into Siobhan’s rollercoaster life, riding out the ups-and-downs of Rapid Cycling Bipolar Disorder. Will Jeremie ever learn how to pronounce Siobhan’s name? Did Brian invent time release capsules? Is Taylor (yet again) a philosophical voice of reason? Can Siobhan and her family navigate the challenges of overcoming her attempt at suicide and successfully initiate an intervention that helps her overcome her illness? The answer to all of these questions and more on this weeks episode of Sickboy!

This week on Sickboy Podcast we have a very special episode! A Sickboy/Turn Me On collaboration! Jer, Bri, Tay and Bryde of Turn Me On Podcast sit down with Lesley to talk about her experience in living with two vagina's and two uterus's?! The fellas are already confused by how the plumbing normally works down there... double down on the amount of cervixes, uteruses, fallopian tubes and ovaries all inside one human body and they are a lost cause. How many tampons does one need? Can you get pregnant on both sides? Is it double the pleasure? Many of these questions answered and more. Don't miss out. Thanks to Bryde from Turn Me On podcast popping by to help keep the fellas in line.

This week on Sickboy Podcast we chat with Marnie about an experience that isn't her own but one that has changed her life forever. Paranoid Schizophrenia. She grew up in a household where Mom and Dad don't get along. They fall into a devastating divorce, and soon after mom begins to believe that drones with lasers are following her everywhere and silently attacking her internal organs and slowly killing her. A jam packed episode of heartbreak, hospital psych ward escapes, secret letters, brain washing and home made moats dug around the house and most certainly not up to code.

This week on Sickboy, the boys dive into Ovarian Cancer with Nadia. it’s always a learning opportunity for Bri, Tay & Jer when lady parts are involved! How do you start a new relationship while going through cancer treatment? How do you pursue your passion when your body is trying to kill you? How do you stay sane when the medication you take is trying to drive you crazy? Find out this week on Sickboy.

This week on Sickboy we dive into the world of acquired brain injuries. A few years ago Jennifer was struck by a car while riding her bike (HELMETS SAVE LIVES PEOPLE!) Today Jennifer takes the fellas through the journey of how life changes after an acquired brain injury. From debilitating physical pain, to LSDesque spacing out over the sound of a bag of gummies smacking off the floor, to rediscovering a lost libido, to a diagnosis of PTSD. One of our favourite conversations of 2017, and our last before the new year!

This week on sickboy podcast the fellas sit down with not so shy Ronnie. A normal gal, aside from the fact that her spine used to be the same shape as a question mark. We’re talking over a 50 degree curve??? We dive into everything from cone head babies, to prolapsed butt holes, to spinal rods, the therapy within pokemon go, to the scary reality of death via spinal surgery.
