Show notes

As governments and businesses start to make COVID vaccines mandatory, there are a lot of questions about the ethics of vaccine passports. Do they create a two-tiered society?

Show notes

For Paulina, April 23, 2018 was just as mundane as any other day, until on her lunch break... everything changed. She was walking from her office to a place to grab some food when all of a sudden she heard the van revving its engine behind her as it made its way on to the curb. This domestic terrorist attack took the lives of 10 people and injured 16 others. For Paulina it was a completely life altering event. One that would change her life in ways that she couldn't have imagined. This week we talk about how Paulina found her way through her journey through PTSD, depression and anxiety in order to help discover a beautiful new way of living.

The Vaccine That Is Very NSFW - Feel Good Friday Aug 20, 2021

Show notes

Have you been a naughty boy/girl/person? Nurse Parker is here to make sure you get your prick. Only this vaccine is not safe for work. Or public. Or anywhere in earshot of anyone who might feel uncomfortable with audible medical fetish pornography. On a more serious note, Nova Scotia has some work to do when it comes to healthcare. No one should die in a wheelchair in the ER while waiting to receive care. However if Jeremie dies let it be known, his funeral better be a banger. Pour one out for him. All over him. Finally, Arnold has some choice words for all you schmucks out there and Quebec cracks down on vaccine passports. Lots of ground to cover this week folks!

Show notes

We all have unconscious biases that affect how we judge people.

On today's episode of Sickboy Podcast, evolutionary psychologist Dr. Glenn Geher joins the boys to explain different biases, why we evolved to have them, and how to be more conscious of them. And be sure to check out Dr. Geher's book, Positive Evolutionary Psychology!

Kick back, chow down on some banana nut bread edibles and get ready to lose your god damn mind! This week the gang revisit the sh*t show that is: Alberta. A man who tried to end his life by intentionally overdosing on antidepressants was saved by the pills he took- because it turned out they were placebos. A psycho nurse "pranks" thousands of vaccine receiving patients. A woman who knows a thing or two about birth now also knows a thing or two about cutting babies out of her own belly. Has that edible kicked in yet?
