Joe Marler’s Most Unexpected Conversations
6/25/202642 min
Across this series, Joe’s office has been a place for plenty of laughter, but also for conversations that none of us expected.
In this special compilation, we revisit some of the show’s most honest and affecting moments. Jason Fox reflects on the mental-health struggles that ended his military career, Pete Wicks explores the childhood experiences behind his feeling of never being enough, and Elizabeth Day helps Joe confront his own fear that he doesn’t truly belong.
Our guests also speak openly about depression, anxiety, antidepressants, grief, financial hardship and the people who helped them through their darkest periods. Along the way, Joe and Jake reflect on the friendship they have built and why humour and vulnerability don’t have to be opposites.
Some difficult subjects are discussed in this episode, including suicide and suicidal thoughts. Please look after yourself while watching. Links to professional support can be found in our Instagram bio.
Featuring Joe Marler (@joemarler17) and Jake Bhardwaj (@jakebhardwajtv)

First 90 secondsJake Bhardwaj· Host0:00
Joe, I want to put this to you. I think something that has happened over the course of these episodes is that you have really been able to just get people to open up. Don't get me wrong, we've had a lot of laughs. [laughs] I'm thinking about some of them now. [laughs] [laughs] But- [laughs] We have had laughs. But you really have managed to get people to talk about things that I've not seen them talk about before, and in a way that just... I don't know, it just feels so natural. And I, I've also seen a very vulnerable side to you come out as well.
Joe Marler· Host0:32
Mm.
Jake Bhardwaj· Host0:32
I don't know if you've n- you've, you've noticed that at all.
Joe Marler· Host0:33
Yeah, I didn't... When we started working together- Mm ... all that way back when, I had no idea. Well, I didn't really have any idea what I was getting into.
Jake Bhardwaj· Host0:44
Mm.
Joe Marler· Host0:44
But I had no idea that it would go as light and dark as it has done- Mm ... and how our patients, guests, clients, whatever we legally have to call them, would actually do when they come into our office. And it was originally I thought it would just be back and forth, a bit of, a bit of craic, a bit of thing, getting to know them a bit better than- Yeah ... other podcasts and other interviews that they've done. Um, and then they get in the room, and then you actually just sort of, we react off of... We don't really have too big an agenda on ed- any of it all. We just like, oh, we just react off of it. And some of the, some of the revelations, I don't really like using that word, but I don't know any other words. As you know, I've got quite a limited number.
