Sickboy

This week the fellas are joined by Trevor. A delightful human who has been struggling with post-concussion syndrome and essential tremor. It all began while shopping for an ergonomic chair. After a serious bonk on the head he began to experience some seriously whack symptoms. Hallucinations, horrifying nightmares, tremors and more.

A urologist used an electric truck to power a vasectomy. How annoying would it be to hang out with him for the week after that? "My Rivian vasectomy" this and "My Rivian vasectomy" that! The fellas dive into sports! Specifically soccer and how some players are collapsing on the field mid-game. To combat this, Charlie Wyke explains how his defibrillator, akin to the one Christian Eriksen has, allows him to keep playing football despite suffering from a cardiac arrest last November. Speaking of dangerous sports, Jer reveals the top 10 most dangerous sports in the world. #1 may surprise you. An inmate lost her pregnancy because the nimrod corrections officers decided to stop at a Starbucks instead of rushing her to the ER. Finally for WHAT THE HELLTH!? Jizz Jewelry.

A good friend of the podcast stops into the studio to chat all about his lifelong penis woes. Brent knew at a young age that something wasn't quite right with his member. In university, he became aware of the fact that he was living with phimosis — a condition in which the foreskin cannot be pulled back past the glans of the penis. Long-time listeners of the podcast will be familiar with this condition as one of Sickboy's earliest episodes covered the topic when speaking to Andrew and Jeremie about their experience with their very tight foreskin. Brent shares his experience of receiving a circumcision in his 40s and how he is now building a whole new relationship with what feels like a brand new wiener.

Christina is a high school teacher living in Ottawa and the sister of a past Sickboy guest. Today she joins the fellas to discuss how she’s been living with Tourettes and OCD since she was six and the challenges her illness has presented her over the years. To make things worse, she suffered a stroke back in 2015 which most certainly doesn’t help with her OCD.

Jer makes a public apology to the world and Elliot from BadDadRadDad. Everybody loves cats. The chances are probably pretty high that you have a doppelgänger but what's even more wild is that you probably share DNA with them! A vaginal fluid transplant could be the next miracle treatment for folks suffering from BV! Nova Scotia reports its first case of Poxy McPoxface. The fellas have a sobering chat about the state of MAiD in Canada, but as a palate cleanser, they chat about The Restaurant of Mistaken Orders in Japan. In WHAT THE HELLTH?! Jer examines some medieval remedies to common illnesses and they are brutal.

This week we kick off a new series of Routine Checkup episodes by checking in on past guests and seeing how they are doing as of late. Our first guest is our very own Brian Stever. Not long after Brian began seeking therapy he discovered he has ADHD (you’ve probably heard him mention this once or twice… or more). Bri sits with Jer and Tay to discuss how far he’s come in his therapy and how he’s currently managing his ADHD.

What began with dental pain in the upper left side of the face resulted in what is recognized in the medical community as one of the most painful disorders a human can experience. Susan sits with the fellas to discuss her experience with Trigeminal Neuralgia, a long-term pain disorder that affects the trigeminal nerve, the nerve responsible for sensation in the face and motor functions such as biting and chewing. It’s a story of a long and painful journey that we hope has come to a much-needed end.
