Summary

This week on Sickboy the fellas continue their adventure in Toronto and sit down with Dr. Liz Jones (such a cool name). What is she dealing with? A hearing condition called Otosclerosis. What’s life like as a Doctor who suffers from severe hearing loss? Or experiencing a constant high pitch ringing in the ear? They dive into Boy Meets World, the cutest bones in the world, Jeremie's alcoholism, ear surgery and hearing aids that talk to you. Poor Liz has a hard time hearing a single word that comes out of Taylor's mouth because he just goes about the world mumbling and whispering the entire god damn time.

0:57.0	www. sickboypodcast.com slash wish and basically we're looking for sickos who want to apply
1:05.8	or you can nominate someone who's sick to be given one wish. It's like a kid's wish, but for an adult, someone who
1:13.9	didn't get the opportunity to have a children's wish like myself when I was growing up. So head on
1:19.0	over there. If that tickles your fancy, but here's the other thing, another announcement.
1:25.5	And this one kind of came out of the blue. Technically, I'm not sure if
1:29.7	we're allowed to announce this or not. So I'm going to cross my fingers, hope I don't get in
1:35.6	trouble. But Austin, Texas, Sick Boy Podcast is coming at you. We will be performing a live recording at South by Southwest in March
