Show notes

Josh Cassidy is a world record holding Wheelchair racer. In 2010, Cassidy won the London Marathon. Oh, but here's the thing, he was diagnosed with neuroblastoma cancer in the spine and abdomen weeks after birth. He was given a very low chance of survival but was declared cancer-free after 5 years of remission, but it left his legs partially paralyzed. Did that shit stop him? Nah. Broke the world record for the Boston marathon, a Paralympic podium contender, can do chin-ups while strapped into a wheelchair?!? This week: Our live recording from Movember house in Toronto. We dive into everything from Memories as a one year old, things that you just NEVER say to someone in a wheelchair, the origin of the word handicap and the fact that a man who is partially paralyzed has larger thighs than Jeremie.

Get A Grip: Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis Feb 13, 2017

Show notes

What comes to mind when you think about arthritis? Often times it’s elderly people with walkers, dentures, walk in bath tubs and tweed hats. Rarely do we picture a young vibrant party loving 24 year old who spends her time getting’ liquored down at Dooley’s and accidentally “skull f**ing” her boyfriend. This week the boys sit down with Meghan and talk about the challenges of living with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis! They touch on everything from her elephant man like knees, to the myth of cracking your knuckles, to elderly women coughing in your face, to the challenges of managing an invisible illness. So sit down, make a tight fist, hold on tight and buckle up… this one is a doozy.
