We're back with another edition of Feel Good Friday! This week we talk about the world opening back up! If you got your cigs, smoke em' like Brians father slamming his drum kit and 2nd hand smoking out the Stever boys!

This week we throwback to two conversations we've had in past episodes about racial inequities within the Canadian healthcare system due to systematic and institutionalized racism.

Then we dive into the world of Social...

This week the boys talk to Ella from down under about lump that she found down under. Turns out that lump turned out to be cancer inside her anus.

We talk about the Australian health care system, auditioning your treatment team, butt...

What is it like to give birth during the worst global pandemic of our lifetime? Not easy. Chuck a positive COVID test into the mix an...

Steve spent the majority of his life with Hepatitis C and didn't know it. There's no way to know where he got it exactly, but it could have been from a sketchy garage tattoo while indulging in some devils lettuce and listening to some of that sinful ""rock and roll"" music. Today in honour of Hep C Awareness month we talk about how far we've come in the treatment of the disease that is now curable...

What do sex dolls, drive-thru go-go dancers and the Canadian elderly population have in common?

Grief can be an incredible teacher. This week we bring you a special and intimate conversation between Jeremie and his wife Bryde about the death of Bryde's father and PEI treasure, Rev. Izzard Goate AKA Bill. They explore and unpack some of the things that Bryde felt, saw and learned about love over the seven weeks she cared for him while he transitioned.

Today from our apocalypse bunkers we shoot the literal and metaphorical shit with our new friend Tess Koman! Coming to us from her childhood bedroom closet, Tess shares with us her coming of age tale of a girl living with such a severe case of Crohn's disease that it even messed up her lungs!! She also manages to win the award for the most grotesque/gnar-gnar story we've ever heard on the show. Co...

Brian would like everyone to know that peeing sitting down = vulnerable. Taylor goes even deeper into a hole of alt-right beliefs and conspiracy BS.

But before they dive into the more serious stuff be prepared for some silliness. From illegal rim jobs to nasal magnets to two-year...

Sarah was one of the unlucky few who was struck with the stark reminder that Breast Cancer does not discriminate based on age. With no family history, an active & healthy lifestyle, and an otherwise clean bill of health… Sarah was definitely a little surprised when, at 26 years old, she heard the words “You have cancer”. From feelin' out the lump to, escaping to Hawaii for some clarity, to kicking...
