I would love for you guys to talk to Dr. Stracks or Dr. Schubner about chronic pain and the mind body connection. It’s amazing and it’s rooted in science. Also, look at Curable, a program you can go through if you have chronic pain. You’ll love it! It’s amazing, I’ve been doing it a while now and...Read full review »

The earliest episodes are rough. Generally, the conversations are crude with too much profanity but they are also very truthful and informative. Important listening for anyone who wants to challenge stigma around health issues.

I live with chronic illnesses. The chronic illness/disability podcasts I’ve found typically have a more serious tone. That consistent tone across media reinforces shame and the “othering” I have subconsciously soaked up from an ableist culture. This podcast leaves all that subconsciously-negative...Read full review »

Please continue to have guests like Dr. Jen Gunter - she’s so good! Your idea of myth busting ridiculous health claims and fads - it’s been done! Check out Dr. Timothy Caulfield. He had a great series on Netflix where he did exactly this. He’s so good. Would be a great guest.

I could only make it through part of a single episode — the one featuring David Ridgen whose work as a CBC podcaster I both admire & enjoy. However, I found the smugness of the hosts unbearable.

Really great podcast, hosts are down to earth and sincere. The breast cancer episode was so good. Thank you!

This podcast has been a soft place to land so many times since finding it in 2017. The Monday episodes were comforting when I was being diagnosed with my own mystery illness and the Friday episodes are a go-to when you need something to brighten up an otherwise boring or lonely day. After moving...Read full review »

Such good subject matter delivered so badly. These guys try too hard to be cool, thinking that the more cuss word they get out the cooler they are. There’s a place to use the F word, for sure. But it’s as though they have a quota - so every opportunity one of them would slip it in. It seems...Read full review »

I live in America. I wish we had a podcast like this. If we do, I haven’t found it yet. I like how illness is brought to the forefront. Keep it up y’all!!!

This podcast is so interesting and funny and the only thing that gets me through school😭
NIKI HH via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/23/22
This episode towards the end talks about how alone one can feel with this syndrome. I can totally relate. Even though there is endless support from my husband. Without whom this four year journey would have been unmanageable, it has been a lonely burden! Thank you for taking the time to have...Read full review »

Mine Lappy via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/04/22
This episode is concerning, and I think the info she presented is outdated and sets the endo community back. Removing ovaries does not stop endo symptoms, menopause does not definitively end symptoms, prioritizing hormonal therapy over expert surgery (excision, not the standard laparoscopy) is...Read full review »

I often listen to these guys when I’m in the shower and I can say that this podcast puts a smile on my face every time. My mom has even come into the washroom while it’s on and has even stopped to listen. And she doesn’t even like the salty language they use. Overall, these men are a good group...Read full review »

If you want to have a good time while at the same time reducing your ignorance this is the podcast. I literally l laugh out loud every episode

I’ve been listening to these hunky East Coast boys for the last 6 years, and still can’t get enough. Easy on the ears and comedy for the ears! They truly do create such an amazing platform and space for people to share their respective stories and experiences. As someone who has been surrounded...Read full review »

These guys are blunt, hilarious and ask all the necessary questions to get down to the human experience! I am in the healthcare field, and this show continually inspires me to take the time to have the tougher conversations whether it’s at work or in my personal life but also is just fun to...Read full review »

Girlfriend and I were travelling by car from Ottawa to Toronto. Stopped at Mallorytown Enroute to fuel up.

I just listened to the episode of the mystery brain disease happening in NB. They all need to get properly tested for Lyme disease and co-infections. I would place money on that’s what they all have. Lyme is an endemic in Maine and Nova Scotia and It’s attached to NB. Armin labs or Igenex needs...Read full review »

I just love this. It makes me feel less alone.

I have listened since the beginning, but it seems like at times you aren’t listening. You were listening to somebody telling a tragedy and then it’s yes but let me tell you about me! It is better than it used to be but I’m not gonna give it a very long fuse. Maybe take some time at the beginning...Read full review »

i love this podcast and have been listening since 2016, but lately i feel as if every episode is with a doctor or other medical professional - don’t get me wrong, i still listen and think the episodes are decent, but i wish the boys would go back to interviewing people about specific conditions...Read full review »

I like the content and the variety of illnesses represented on the show, but the hosts interrupt the guests way too much, and it detracts from the quality and storytelling. Please, Sickboys, let the guests speak without interrupting them consistently!
SavRewilder via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/23/21
As a person with chronic illness this podcast is breath of fresh air, love how can they can talk about serious topics with rawness and humour !! Thanks guys!

I also live with a life limiting lung condition however it’s v rare so find it hard to relate to people but listening to these 3 and their amazing guests makes me feel so much more part of a community than alone 😍 thank you boys! - Jenny

Have been listening to this for awhile and I love it! Big fan
Ian Zinck via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/02/20
Real talk I listen to a lot of podcasts and I’ve never liked any of them as much as this one. I am in the medical field but most other podcasts on medicine are super serious (or try to be funny and embarrassingly fail), but these guys are ridiculous and I am here for it😂😂
livyyyyyyyy pix via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/13/20
Been listening to these idiots for a few years, theyre seriously just fantastic. Funny, heartwarming, annoying like a little brother, and all openminded and willing to learn.

T1D
This episode is not at all relatable, it also doesn’t reflect the struggles that people with t1d go through on a daily basis. Please try & have other perspectives on the show. This podcast makes diabetes sound “easy” which ignores our everyday battle to keep our bodies from destroying...Read full review »

Listened to this episode today, so sad listening about michael’s childhood. A very emotional episode that at times brought tears to my eyes. Just wanted to reach out and give Michael a hug. No one should have to go through such a horrific childhood. So glad that he is a survivor and has found love.

I’m about twenty episodes in and I’m really enjoying the podcast. Brian, Jeremy, and Taylor all add a little bit of humor and fun into every episode. It’s great learning about illnesses I knew nothing about while also getting a chance to hear every guests’ perspective on their illness. I do...Read full review »

I love this podcast. It is hilarious. It is meaningful and powerful on so many levels. Loving the Feel Good Friday podcasts! But most of all, I enjoy that they are having difficult conversations & bringing awareness to all different disabilities that people live with. Thank you.

A great podcast that has allowed me to reflect on aspects of my life and how I walk through it. I especially loved the episode with Audrey Parker, and also the one with the coroner, which both made me think a lot about my own death. It was insightful and very caring and respectful. 👏🏼👏🏼 Hold on...Read full review »

Been loving this podcast and recommending it lots! Sometimes goofy nonsense, but more often a big time look in on people’s/patient’s experiences !!

Absolutely love love love the Sick Boy Podcast! I stumbled upon it on accident and now I can’t stop listening to it.

I think this is such an amazing concept! As someone who works in the medical field, I love the chance to educate myself and hear about a persons personal journey through a disease. The fact that the hosts don’t have medical experience I think is amazing because lots of questions are what the...Read full review »

Love love this podcast, don’t change guys! I love the conversation and questions and insight fullness for the people you’re interviewing. I love how funny and unfiltered you all are it makes it interesting to listen to. Big fan keep up the great work !
heyitsshay23 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/29/20
Good concept but you guys never let the guests talk, listened to like 10+ episodes hoping it would get better but sadly it didn’t. Constant interruptions make it exhausting to listen to. It’s like that Michael lansberg guy on TSN
Sejzi via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/28/20
Very interesting topics. Not too many ads (at least on the older episodes). Y’all should do an episode on IBS-D...unless I missed it, I don’t think it’s been touched on. I can be your guest!

Good idea for a podcast, but the hosts need to learn about respect and clean up their language.

I started listening to Sickboy after looking for a podcast once the pandemic started. It is better than all of the other podcasts I tried to listen to beforehand! Educational yet also light and entertaining. Perfect podcast to listen to while I do paperwork. I know there are people who think that...Read full review »

I was introduced to this podcast in the months in which I was being diagnosed with MS in 2018-2019.

The ways I think about people’s experiences with illness and life in general has...Read full review »

Perhaps the most interesting, respectful and funny podcast I’ve ever came across. One of the episodes highlighted an issue that I had and although I’d be pushing myself to go to the doctors about it that episode is what finally pushed me to go. So thank you guys.
BecauseTheeInternet via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/06/20
Great premise .. but like other reviewers have said the hosts ask sometimes offensive, often uneducated questions, make inside jokes with each other while ignoring the guest, and have unprofessional and poor interview skills. Many episodes come off as very unprofessional and actually disrespectful
