About this episode

Pete Wicks discusses his struggles with self-worth and modern masculinity with Joe Marler.

Pete Wicks enters Dr Joe’s office carrying a belief he’s had since childhood: that he’s never quite enough. Together, they trace that feeling back to its roots, unpacking the early experiences that shaped Pete’s self-worth and the pressure he’s carried ever since. The conversation widens to modern masculinity, including Pete’s interview with Prime Minister Keir Starmer and what it revealed about being a man today. A shared love of tattoos then leads to a Rorschach-style experiment involving Joe’s body and some highly questionable analysis.
