Cult Dynamics and Conspirituality with Matthew Remski: Routine Checkup Oct 13, 2021

Show notes

This week Sickboy is bringing you a very special conversation from Jeremie's other podcast that he hosts with his far more eloquent and cool wife, Bryde. Matthew Remski is a long-term meditator and yoga practitioner. An author of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry, his current work focuses on the social psychology of healthy communities, and the study of faux-progressive wellness Utopias, particularly in the yoga community. We talk about the parallels between cult dynamics and anti-vax conspiracy and how we can communicate with loved ones who seem to be swallowed up in this harmful rhetoric. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did, and if you like what you heard be sure to follow along with Turn Me On podcast where ever your get your pods.

One man in Turkey got so hammered he joined his own search party. Finally Tay teaches the fellas a bit about the science of spicy.

Taylor Almost Died, And Brian Almost Killed Him - Feel Good Friday Oct 01, 2021

Show notes

Storytime with the boys. This past weekend the fellas had a scare. Taylor's eyes rolled into the back of his head, he passed out, Brian panicked and broke his ribs. CPR saves lives, but in this case, it may or may not have been overkill. Now that Taylor has broken ribs, it's hard for him to laugh and there is plenty of laughs in this week's episode. By the way, did you hear the good news?! Trikafta is now being covered in four provinces across Canada! Wahoo! Nova Scotia, what the hell are you waiting for. The dudes also touch on the (apparently infamous) "Triangle Of Death". Pimple poppers beware. Then we cap it all off with a horrendous case of a gentleman who was pooing out of his pee pee and ejaculating out of his bum bum. Not good.
