Summary
You don’t survive ten years of podcasting without a few scars—and a hell of a lot of stories. In part one of this milestone episode, the guys sit down with Brock, a new intern with a fiery past—literally. From being wrongly accused of arson at age four to navigating life with cerebral palsy, Brock’s journey is as hilarious as it is jaw-dropping. He unpacks what it means to live with PVL, how systemic failures nearly derailed his education, and why he wouldn’t trade his disability for anything. Then in part two, the hosts turn the mics inward. Reflecting on a decade of Sickboy, they revisit the biggest lessons, most surprising moments, and the impact this show has had—not just on listeners, but on themselves. With equal parts heart and humour, this is the definitive Sickboy episode: raw, reflective, and wildly unforgettable.
