About this listen

Sickboy is the only place where terminal diagnoses can peacefully coexist with jokes we probably shouldn't make. Hosted by three best friends, Jeremie, Brian, and Taylor, this show smashes taboos around illness, death, and everything in between. Inspired by Jeremie’s life with Cystic Fibrosis, we dive headfirst into the uncomfortable, the hilarious, and the heartbreaking. We talk to people living with everything from chronic disease to catastrophic injury, mental health struggles to medical miracles - and we do it with radical empathy, zero BS, and the kind of unfiltered jokes that get us kicked out of support groups. If you’ve ever felt weird, broken, or like no one gets it, welcome. New episodes drop every Wednesday. Pull up a seat; it’s gonna get real.

  • Flying High & Pooping Low: A Flight Surgeon’s Guide to Colon Cancer

    Flying High & Pooping Low: A Flight Surgeon’s Guide to Colon Cancer
    Apr 15 2026

    What do high-performance fighter jets and a stage four cancer diagnosis have in common? More than you think. This week, we’re joined by Dr. Avishek “Avi” Kumar, a man who pulls double duty as both a practicing oncologist and a U.S. Air Force Flight Surgeon. Avi spends his time breaking the sound barrier in F-16s and fighting the "slow-motion car crash" of cancer diagnoses in young adults. We dive into the "too young" trap: why 30-year-olds are increasingly being hit with colon cancer and why the "warning lights" are being ignored. From the G-force toll on the body to the "caliber" of your poop (yes, Avi uses military terms for dookie) this episode is about unlearning the shame that is quite literally killing us.

  • 15 Weeks Early & 8 Days Apart: The Trauma of a Micro-Preemie Birth

    15 Weeks Early & 8 Days Apart: The Trauma of a Micro-Preemie Birth
    Apr 8 2026

    What happens when your body decides to Marie Kondo your entire large intestine, but the healthcare system treats your "vestibule" like an optional extra? This week we sit down with Emily. At 23, she went from a "healthy" young woman to shitting blood 20 times a day which eventually led to living life with a permanent Barbie butthole. But the real horror story isn't the Ulcerative Colitis diagnosis; it’s what happens when you try to navigate a high-risk pregnancy in a system that compartmentalizes your "gut" from your "baby" until the two collide in a traumatic, 25-week micro-preemie delivery.

  • "My Brain is Draining Into My Stomach" | Spina Bifida

    "My Brain is Draining Into My Stomach" | Spina Bifida
    Apr 1 2026

    What do you do when your spine decides to "leak" before you're even born, leaving you with a "jizzy back rat" and a tube running from your brain to your belly? We’ve covered Spina Bifida before, but never quite like this. Meet Joshua, a man who has spent 48 years navigating the world from a wheelchair and dealing with an exposed spine. AKA Spina Bifida. The fellas get up close and personal with the medical realities of "leaky" spines and the surgical interventions that happen before a baby even hits the delivery room. The wildest part? Joshua can throw a spear further than all of us. We also dig into Joshua's experience in navigating a long distance marriage, and it's adorably heartwarming.
