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!

Surviving Cancer Only to Get Decapitated by Wyoming
Episode 560
Tuesday, 23 June, 2026
What would you do if you moved out to LA at 18 to chase your dreams, but got handed a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis and a 5-year expiration date instead? Our guest Aria fought through chemo, radiation, and 16 separate surgeries, and actually beat it. But the universe wasn’t done with her. After just two months of remission, the cancer moved to the temporal lobe of her brain, and doctors gave her one year to live. Spoiler alert: she didn't die. Aria decided to surrender to whatever was going to happen and somehow beat terminal brain cancer. But just when she thought she was in the clear, celebrating her one-year cancer-free anniversary on a road trip to Wyoming, she passed out at the wheel and crashed her car at 80 mph. The impact shattered her occipital bone, essentially detaching her skull from her spine. She woke up completely blind, unable to speak, and unable to walk. Buckle up (literally and figuratively) for a real life Final Destination style episode. Aria is a radiant, unkillable badass, and this conversation is a masterclass in fearless resilience.
