| 0:00.0 | This is a CBC podcast. |
| 0:05.5 | Are you ready to align your chakras and manifest your ultimate wellness destiny? |
| 0:12.8 | Join us on a journey to... |
| 0:15.8 | Yeah, absolutely not. |
| 0:17.6 | If you're looking for a podcast that's going to tell you to cure your depression with kale and positive vibes, you're in the wrong goddamn place. So, so wrong. We're the other kind of health podcast. The one your doctor is probably a little concerned that you listen to. We're sick boy. And for over a decade, we've been trying to process the human experience by finding the light in the darkest shit imaginable. It all started with me, Jeremy. I have cystic fibrosis. And I realized the brutally honest, |
| 0:42.0 | absurd, and deeply inappropriate conversations I was having with my best friends were the only |
| 0:46.8 | things that made me feel normal. So we put a microphone in front of it. We cover topics ranging |
| 0:51.1 | from oncology and mortality to addiction and rare genetic disorders. |
| 0:54.6 | And we make a lot of jokes about it. |
| 0:56.8 | But here's the secret. It's not about misery. It's about destigmatizing and feeling less alone. |

He had a turtleneck that wouldn't unturnal, medically speaking. Okay, okay. I was terrified to talk about it. But I did. And over the next couple of years, guys started writing to us. |
| 1:27.6 | In total, 13 men reached out to say that because of that episode, they finally went to a doctor |
| 1:32.4 | and got circumcised. Yeah, we officially called it our cut count. And we've helped over a dozen men |
| 1:38.3 | with their penises. We should actually put that on a billboard. Which logically makes this one of |
| 1:42.8 | the most effective public health campaigns in Canadian history. For dicks. For dick doctors. Unlicensed, of course. And that's the |
| 1:49.3 | emotional whiplash of this show. One minute, my heart is absolutely breaking as I'm crying with a |
| 1:54.0 | woman sharing her final days before choosing medical assistance in dying. The next, my mind is |
| 1:58.9 | completely blown while a scientist logically explains how |
