🎙️ "Cancer. Heart Disease. Health. Well-being. And the unexpected medicine of laughter." Life can change in a heartbeat — a diagnosis, a heart attack, a moment that stops you in your tracks. We’ve been there, and now we’re talking about it. From treatment and support to family, friends, mental health, and the resources that get you through — we’re sharing it all. But it’s not just about illness; it’s about life. News, sports, hobbies, crafts, and the little distractions that keep us sane. Along the way, special guests bring fresh voices, real stories, and new perspectives. Light-hearted. Funny. Honest. Addictive. This isn’t just another podcast — it’s a community. Tune in, laugh with us, learn with us, and remember… all we ask is just a little smile.

Episode 11

Sorry this episode was delayed by seven days due to our special last week where Martin updated us on his Cancer and his new battle.

Today the boys interview a very special guest in Jeff Boland.

Jeff once an active firefighter on the front line helping people and saving lives found the pressures very hard at times and found an outlet in a lite drink with colleagues after a busy and sometimes stressful shouts.

Before long the drink had taken control and Jeff became an Alcoholic and his life spiralled down hill fast.

Jeff later found that his Liver had been severely damaged through his drinking and with deteriorating health soon found that the only option was a Liver transplant.

After that Jeff thought it couldn't get any worse but his heart was the issue this time and several Heart attacks followed before he was back in hospital for some bypass surgery.

Listen as Jeff takes us through his life story, it is fascinating and truly amazing, Jeff certainly has a very strong will and its that which has got him through it all today.

No joke of the week this week but it will return, thanks for listening and please like and share our Podcast where yo can.
