Eye J**z Jan 30, 2017

Show notes

“I set out to open my eyes to the world, but came back nearly blinded by it.” What do you do when you're in a third world country and you get an eye infection that goes from bad to the absolute worst? This week we sit down with Kevin to talk about his experience of Biking from Vancouver to Central America only to end up with the one eye infection to rule them all! One minute everything is fine, then next minute he has pulled over because his vision is rapidly deteriorating.

5’7” & 90lbs: Anorexia Jan 23, 2017

Show notes

When you're 5'7"" weighing it at only 90lbs, something's gotta give. From in-patient hospital programs, tapping your feet as sneaky exercise, and a relationship with healthy eating that goes above and beyond reality, Catherine's been through a lot. On a mission to heal her mind and repair her body, Catherine opens up about what it's like to live with an eating disorder that tries to trick her at every turn. Tune in this week for a special episode on Mental Illness. With Bell Let's Talk coming up on Wednesday, it is not only important for us to talk about Mental Illness, but also to listen intently to those who speak up. Let's talk about it.

In Memory of Layton Reid. Onward & Upward Jan 21, 2017

Show notes

One of the first beautiful people we were able to speak with on the show, and no doubt, one of the most inspiring. Layton was truly a man of passion. It spewed (he'd like that word) from every pore. He taught us the most important lesson on the human condition: We will always take life for granted. It is in the moments that we realize this, that we are able to truly live, until we inevitable slip back into the routine, the day to day, to be awoken once again. You made an impact like you wouldn't believe. You used social media in the way we should all take note of: To inspire passion and thoughtfulness, reflection and introspection in us all. Your lasting impression on us will be the grace with which you saw death. As a beautiful chapter that we will all someday endure. Live now, for you are alive. Love and laugh now, for you are alive. And when you forget the living, the loving and the laughing, you will remember it again as if for the first time. And it will be beautiful.

27 Years In The ER Jan 09, 2017

Show notes

If you think you've waited a long time in the emergency room, John Ross has been there 25 years, slowly but surely pulling odd objects out of people's buttholes. But in all seriousness we spent some time out at the beautiful and majestic Shobac Cottages/Studio's in Riverport Nova Scotia for an intimate live living room show to chat with Dr John Ross about his career as the head of the ER at the QEII hospital. We dive deep into everything from weird objects in butts, to managing crimson hot rage towards patients, to calling a Code Orange... TWICE!?! (Not sure what a code orange is? Let's just say it Ain't Nuttin ta F**k Wit.) This is a very special episode and John has and still does some incredible work. It truly was an honour to speak with him!

From Severed Spine to Paralympic Hero w/ Josh Dueck Dec 19, 2016

Show notes

Almost 13 years ago Josh Dueck, world class skier, over shot a front flip off a massive jump. He crash landed, severing his spinal column and rendering him a paraplegic without feeling from the pelvis down, never to walk again. Fast forward to present day and the first question Brian asks is “does your dick still work?”. Nice one Brian… Real nice. Although to give him credit it opened the doors for a conversation that went deep down to a level that most of us rarely have the pleasure of experiencing with someone we’ve only just met. A no holds barred fully open dialogue about the ups and downs of life from a chair. This is an incredibly special episode and we are forever grateful to have had the opportunity to shoot the sh*t with Josh. ***We need your help! We’re just on the cusp of securing some sponsers! Help us turn this from a labour of love to a labour of being paid like a real grown up.
