Sickboy

When Mark has a grand mal seizure at SXSW in downtown Ausitn, TX his life was forever changed. One moment all is normal, the next moment waking up on a gurney covered in blood and beginning his long no holds barred fist fight with Brain Cancer. Mark and Jeremie hunker down in a small hut on the beaches of Maui and dive deep into living with Terminal Brain Cancer. A love story worthy of the silver screen, contemplation of the realities of life and what comes after death, and of course music. Mark is a prolific music critic and blogger. While recounting his life pre and post cancer he weaves in and out of his favourite songs of the time.

If you think you've waited a long time in the emergency room, John Ross has been there 25 years, slowly but surely pulling odd objects out of people's buttholes. But in all seriousness we spent some time out at the beautiful and majestic Shobac Cottages/Studio's in Riverport Nova Scotia for an intimate live living room show to chat with Dr John Ross about his career as the head of the ER at the QEII hospital. We dive deep into everything from weird objects in butts, to managing crimson hot rage towards patients, to calling a Code Orange... TWICE!?! (Not sure what a code orange is? Let's just say it Ain't Nuttin ta F**k Wit.) This is a very special episode and John has and still does some incredible work. It truly was an honour to speak with him!

Jeremie turns 29 years old today and he has a birthday wish that we need you to help make come true! Since we've started this project we've had countless emails, letters, and messages from listeners like yourself telling us about how Sickboy Podcast has impacted your lives. For Jeremie's 29th birthday all he wants is to put faces to the names for a little project we are working on. Has Sickboy Podcast impacted your life in some way big or small? If so we want to hear from you! Here are the rules: take 5 minutes of your day to record a video on your phone. Horizontal videos only, DUH! Start the video with ""Sickboy Podcast has impacted my life by..."" and fill in the rest! It can be sincere, it can be silly, it can be whatever as long as it's true to how you feel! We love each and every one of you! And hey, if you're in Halifax we're celebrating Jeremie's big day at Good Robot Brewing Company! Swing by after 9:30PM tonight for a beer and a cough or two!

What happens when you're one of the first cases of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in your home town? A whole bunch of f**kery that's what! This week on Sickboy we sit down with Jess and talk about her experience in dealing with a nasty case of ""Super Bug""! We talk about everything from the weird names children call vagina, the horrendous origin story of a flesh eating bacteria, disgustingly horrendous visions of lancing boils on youtube, endless sexual innuendo's and much much more. Oh and of course, Happy Birthday Wanda!"

You know how Mr. Fantastic can stretch and bend himself and help save the world? Yea...hyper mobility just ain't like that son.

Almost 13 years ago Josh Dueck, world class skier, over shot a front flip off a massive jump. He crash landed, severing his spinal column and rendering him a paraplegic without feeling from the pelvis down, never to walk again. Fast forward to present day and the first question Brian asks is “does your dick still work?”. Nice one Brian… Real nice. Although to give him credit it opened the doors for a conversation that went deep down to a level that most of us rarely have the pleasure of experiencing with someone we’ve only just met. A no holds barred fully open dialogue about the ups and downs of life from a chair. This is an incredibly special episode and we are forever grateful to have had the opportunity to shoot the sh*t with Josh. ***We need your help! We’re just on the cusp of securing some sponsers!

This week we dive into the world of the unfortunately invalidated auto immune disease called Celiac's, with our new friend Allyson... the disease in which Gluten is your greatest enemy. But what is a gluten? We still don't really know - and we don’t think anyone does. However, one thing is for sure, this episode is chalk full of tidbits. For instance, did you know Corona's are legally* gluten free? Did you also know Corona's taste like crap? Now ya do... We dig deep into dispelling the myths between gluten intolerance and celiac's, vomiting & explosive diarrhea, making out with celiac's, having children or not having children, and a bunch of other fascinating stuff! So order up your favourite Pizza Hut pizza and grab a case of your favourite IPA because we’re going DEEP into the world of Celiac's Disease!
