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!

My Brain Turned Into the Devil at Age 12 | Severe ADHD & Alcoholism
Episode 561
Wednesday, 1 July, 2026
What happens when your internal monologue switches from a storybook narrator to a demonic bully at age 12? Live from downtown Halifax, the guys sit down with Melly, a student association president who perfectly masked severe ADHD until a shocking diagnosis at age 43. Before finding out how her brain actually worked, Melly spent her 20s and 30s chasing dangerous dopamine hits just to make that inner voice shut up. We’re talking drinking seven days a week , regularly going home with strangers , and hopping right back into a truck bed the day after a drunk driver flipped it and nearly killed her. She even moved to Malaysia for a decade to teach scuba diving, purely because being deep underwater was the only place she could find true, beautiful silence. Melly gets brutally honest about the decades of self-love she lost to internal misery , using her role in student government to check on the peers who look completely fine but are privately drowning , and how her neurodivergence gave her the absolute fearlessness to solo-travel the globe.
