Josh Widdicombe breaks up with... HIMSELF??
2/26/202636 min
Obsessed with the past, Josh Widdicombe confronts his nostalgia head-on in Dr Marler’s office. Together, they navigate absurd stories - including David Hasselhoff’s Berlin Wall claim and the cultural significance of Mr Blobby - and attempt blind rankings of the greatest moments in pop culture… with predictably chaotic results.
The session takes a surreal turn with a surprise intervention from Josh’s favourite TV doctor, Dr Karl Kennedy, before Joe sets him the ultimate task... meeting 90s Josh and finally breaking up with the past.
Featuring @joemarler17 and @jakebhardwajtv

First 90 secondsJoe Marler· Host0:00
You have got quite a unique voice.
Josh Widdicombe· Guest0:01
I know, yeah.
Joe Marler· Host0:02
Is that your actual voice?
Josh Widdicombe· Guest0:03
[laughs] Yeah, of course it fucking is. I wouldn't choose it.
Joe Marler· Host0:06
Well... [laughs] Are you prepared to let go of this obsession with nostalgia and start living in the here and now?
Josh Widdicombe· Guest0:12
No, it's too profitable to my career. [laughs] [laughs] I think the Beatles is the best, most important thing that's ever happened to humanity.
Joe Marler· Host0:21
That is fucking ludicrous, what has just come out of your mouth.
Jake Bhardwaj· Host0:24
Ludicrously accurate, brother.
Joe Marler· Host0:26
[laughs] Are you ready to break up with the past?
Josh Widdicombe· Guest0:29
Yeah, I suppose so, yeah. Oh.
Joe Marler· Host0:31
Bring out '90s Josh, please.
Josh Widdicombe· Guest0:33
Oh, no. Oh, wow. I didn't have that much bum fluff, I'll tell you that.
Joe Marler· Host0:38
[laughs] [whimsical music] Hello, and welcome to my office. This is Joe Marler Will See You Now, with me, Dr. Joe Marler. This is the show where I mine deep into the heads of celebrities and try to escape before I've done more harm than good. With me, as always, is my trusty assistant, Jake. Jakey, how are you, boy?
Jake Bhardwaj· Host1:01
Joey, how are you today?
Joe Marler· Host1:02
Ah, I- I just... I'm sorry, I said Jakey.
Jake Bhardwaj· Host1:05
Yeah? You don't like Joey?
Joe Marler· Host1:06
I'm not s- Does it remind you of being a baby kangaroo?
Jake Bhardwaj· Host1:09
[laughs] Is that why you don't like it? Wow. That's the same pose you do for George Galloway. When you do your impression- No, it's not ... of him. Go on.
Joe Marler· Host1:18
George Galloway's this. "Would you like me to be the cat?"
Jake Bhardwaj· Host1:23
Whereas when you flip it like that, it's- Boing ... little Joey.
Joe Marler· Host1:26
Do you like Jakey? I don't like Joey.
