What if the thing that saved your life ended up making you feel like a stranger in your own body? Whose Hand Is It Anyway? This week, Jer goes full Frankenstein as he walks the guys through the psychological minefield of visible transplants—hands, faces, and all the weird, uncomfortable identity baggage that comes with them. From the guy who returned his donor hand, to another who says he’d rather go back to prosthetics, to a woman who looked in the mirror and saw a stranger’s mouth — this episode dives into the surreal world where medicine meets identity crisis.

He lost most of his leg, two lungs got cracked open, and somehow he still walked it off—literally. Jeff Bryant’s life was all about basketball—until a swollen leg led to a diagnosis of high-grade osteosarcoma. What followed was a wild medical journey: a full femur and knee replacement, the loss of three out of four quadriceps, two lung surgeries, and multiple reconstructive operations. But Jeff didn’t just survive—he came back swinging, walking hospital laps days after surgery, mentoring other patients, and even launching an international young adult cancer support network. This episode dives deep into the physical pain, the mental grit, and the community that helped Jeff keep going. From titanium bones to Final Four tickets, this is a story of resilience, purpose, and finding new dreams when old ones get ripped away.

When Gwen first went to the doctor for stomach pain, she didn’t expect to leave with a diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome—let alone a growing list of conditions including POTS and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. In this episode, the gang explore what it’s like to get too many answers too quickly, how chronic illness reshapes identity, and why the system often fails patients with complex needs. From medical gaslighting to becoming a voice for disability advocacy, Gwen’s story is as sharp as it is eye-opening. It’s a reminder that “invisible” doesn’t mean imaginary—and that the fight for proper care can be just as exhausting as the illness itself.
