SickboyAuthor: CBC
Sickboy is the only place where terminal diagnoses can peacefully coexist with jokes we probably shouldn't make. Hosted by three best friends, Jeremie, Brian, and Taylor, this show smashes taboos around illness, death, and everything in between. Inspired by Jeremies life with Cystic Fibrosis, we dive headfirst into the uncomfortable, the hilarious, and the heartbreaking. We talk to people living with everything from chronic disease to catastrophic injury, mental health struggles to medical miracles - and we do it with radical empathy, zero BS, and the kind of unfiltered jokes that get us kicked out of support groups. If youve ever felt weird, broken, or like no one gets it, welcome. New episodes drop every Wednesday. Pull up a seat; its gonna get real.Follow Sickboy on Instagram & TikTok!

Giddy Up: How To Love A Parent Who Is Living In A Different Reality
Episode 535
Tuesday, 30 December, 2025
It’s been eight years since Marnie first sat down with the fellas, and let’s just say… things haven’t exactly slowed down. Back in 2018, Marnie was a 23-year-old trying to navigate her mother’s sudden and terrifying diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. Now, at 31, she’s back in the studio to give us the raw, unfiltered update on what happens after the diagnosis. Marnie takes us through the absolute rollercoaster of the last few years. From her mom’s near-death experience involving a ruptured bowel (and the subsequent delusions that the doctors harvested her organs) to the detective work required to figure out why her mom is buying furniture for imaginary tenants. We get deep into the heavy stuff: the crushing anxiety of wondering if you’re going to inherit your parent’s illness, the guilt of moving across the country to save your own sanity, and the weird, heartbreaking reality of "parenting your parent" before you’ve even had kids of your own.Check out Marnie’s podcast:Giddy Up: https://open.spotify.com/show/5FjHKJoPzNOehPX2B1qr1X?si=fe429e23dec640c0Instagram: @gidddyyyupFollow Sickboy: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sickboypodcastTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sickboypodcastDiscord: https://discord.gg/expeUDN
