Listening to Joe has saved me from spiralling into the abyss this weekend. It's like listening to a twin and it's good to hear exactly 'how it is' from someone else. Sick of all the 'poor you' and ablism. Just let me get on with shit and accept that I don't smile some days.

[@radam282]

I'm glad that Joe got to make Brassic, it's brilliant, insane, funny, inspired, just a nutty delight. 😅 First saw him in Preacher, where he was brilliant, and I'm very happy that he got to do Brassic. Wishing lots more roles that fit him and that bring out the best in him because he's a great actor.

Joseph gilgun is a national treasure that needs protecting. I love how he is so open to being vulnerable. I have struggled with depression. . A lot of people on youtube who talk about it use cliches that are not relatable.. but when Joseph said his personal hygiene went out the window... I was like ME TOO..... the best suicide scene in a film. ( that doesn't sound right) is when woody is speaking with lol after her attempt.... he does not know what to say so he just jokes "fuckin hell lol your family are hard, maybe try a nuclear war head... nothing can beat your family" When my friend tried to commit suicide I could only crack a similar joke... he tells me that my joke helped him more....with mental health it's time to stop with the platitudes and the cliches and be honest. I think jo is on to that massively. I doubt he'll get to read this but, if he does plough on jo you magnificent bastard..... and thanks for your honesty

[@DebKFairhurst01]

I was in tears listening to that podcast what a fantastic man Joe is ...Firstly for putting all his insecurities out to the general public and secondly for his honesty ,its obvious he wears his heart on his sleeve & he should have more confidence in his self .He is my favourite actor mainly because i suffer with mental health issues similar to how Joe feels which am medicated for my anxiety lead to a stay in a mental health hospital ..PS Joe if you are reading this please sign the photo i have sent to your agency ... Your so fit & handsome & i would be your girlfriend love you lots dont change to much :) xxx

[@Tricky181]

Steady on Deb 😃

[@oliviaklein3919]

It was almost exhausting how relatable this was

[@majaremmers2037]

Listening to both of his episodes is so therapeutic. He is such a lovely guy. I already loved him when he is acting, but when he is so real like that I feel like I can really connect to him. I've both cried and laughed during both episodes and I've listened to them multiple times because it really helps when I feel like shit

[@Markovamary]

He is one of my favorite actor and it’s so pity that he doesn’t use any social media

[@jessicacrimins9122]

Late to this party but thank you for this 🙏🏻👌🏻🤟🏻Thank you for being real just know you are amazing your talent is endless and has helped me through a lot Mr Gilgun you continue to bring laughter on dark days. Never change

[@sakul6245]

Joe is such a blessing to everyone struggling through mental health and other issues outside of that. He gives real life and hope for me to get through tough days.

[@laurainebelsey2498]

Joe is an amazing inspiration to me, I suffer with mental health, so I relate to him greatly. Would love to meet joe. Xx

[@Cykoid]

Always love listening to Joe he sounds like a very genuine person, and he is absolutely killing in Preacher, he's the perfect fit for Cassidy.

[@Crow-Fly]

Please than Joe for being so honest, And tell him he is Amazing in Preacher and everything! I felt so related to joe when he was saying how strong people are with mental health who can still go to work and live normal lives. It seems eveeything is twice as hard and against you and you have to pick yourself up so much and be so strong to get through. I finally had one of those someone speaking to my soul moments, and this was it.

[@Thirdfish]

This podcast with Joe really hits the spot. Great to see how so many people on here have benefitted from Joe and Craig talking about mental health and how we go about our lives living with it. I hope this helps bury the stigma that MH is a weakness - it's pretty much the opposite. Thank you Craig.

[@anxious-alien]

I related to so much of what Joe was talking about and his openness is so refreshing. I really appreciate him as a person and as an actor

[@annrose9185]

The raw emotion and intensely personal honesty Joe always gives about his issues and fears is what makes him an amazing person to listen to. Hope to meet him one day and let him know I'm amazed by his journey, talent and strength.

[@sarastone8235]

I 've just spent 10 minutes trying to think of what comment I could write that will put across how grateful I am for Joe's honestly and willingness to dig deep and speak out about his life,it helped me not feel so alone..I couldn't think of anything that would do it justice so I will just say thankyou x

[@geisen111]

One of the most raw conversations I've heard. Stumbled on Joe and Brassic after watching Preacher, and he seems like a truly remarkable person.

[@stephaniethompson2890]

Bookmarking this for the next time I have to explain to someone why I am the way I am and I can't put it in words. I needed to listen to this today in particular, thank you all for the work you put in on this podcast.

[@kirah4292]

Joe Gilgun is brilliant ♡ I'd love another episode with him

[@callous99]

Ok. I'm already in tears. I just thought: Maybe there is something new from Joe, let's see. Without any expectations I found this. I'm so unbelievably happy right now! I haven't heard it, but I already now that this will be fantastic, like the first part. Thank you so much for this!! I love Joe so much, he has such a big heart and is so honest. I only can repeat myself. Thank you!! So excited what's new.❤❤❤ (And again...English isn't my native language, I'm sorry.. I hope you guys can understand me..😅)

[@dxxx6002]

I've never felt compelled to leave a comment before, however would like to thank yourself and Joseph for sharing such an intimate and beautifully organic conversation. I appreciate his candor, especially when broaching the subject of mental health and, more specifically, the impact of Bipolar Disorder on every day life. Sometimes the ideations we create and impose upon others are constructs of our own reality. It can be difficult for some to differentiate between the actor, the character he portrays or, quite simply, the man. Which is why, in my opinion, the intimacy of what you have shared is priceless. It not only serves to provide a greater insight but gives us the privilege of hearing Joseph convey his own truth, in his own words. It takes great strength to acknowledge your vulnerabilities and great courage to share them with the world.

[@julesjezman1]

Thanks for another wonderful interview from Joseph Gilgun! He is absolutely fantastic, and his issues with mental health are very relatable. I have generalized, and social anxiety. I'm not a depressive type for the most part, but I get alot from listening to him. He helps me, and so many others. He is such an amazing person. Love him! His sense of humor is so infectious! Xo

[@sissydx]

This is always a great podcast and Joe is great ... thanks for having him in again

[@clairemwilson3295]

That was brutal honesty ....what a guy Joe Gilgun is, love his podcasts and anything is in he’s just spot on. More Joe podcasts please 👌

[@NorthernLol]

Thanks for the honesty Joseph, as a therapist hearing so many people thinking there's something really wrong with them and taking other people's shit personally, you're helping to normalize mental health and show that it's ok to get help and they're not alone. Understanding and acceptance is a huge step and showing yourself some compassion. Keep up the brilliant work..."tell your face that" 😂😂 I've heard some corkers.. put some make up on, make a cake..fuck off 😂😂 xx

[@Hernameis_Ella]

It felt like having a mirror in front of me this 2 part interview, from coping an living with these crippling conditions to watching way too much serial killer sh*t for my own good. I hope he's doing ok this dude he sounds like a great fella. Anyways, youtube recommended me this channel a few weeks ago; I'm not at all into acting or actors related things (barely know any of them) but I stuck around because of the easy and intimate atmosphere. I just love it so much, regardless of the subject. Craig there's something about you that just makes it work so well, and I hope you and Griff stick around for as long as you enjoy doing these. Much support from France.

[@Nincompoop571]

Never commented on anything on youtube but felt the need to say thanks for this, dont know why but it was just what i bloody needed! Ive been going further downhill through this lockdown to the point i have my earphones in all day to try and drown it out and listening to this really helped. Been in tears all day today but tonight i actually sat down and talked! Talking, and the most amazing moment with my autistic son and i really feel like today i might have turned a corner. Amazing to listen to, so thankyou!

[@DynamicEire]

Really great bloke joe is, so relatable. Would love a part 3

[@oioisaveloy7824]

Creasing at the fire extinguisher part, amazing stuff! 😂

[@danielelias7867]

Such a lovely dude. I keep this and part 1 on my playlist for when I feel like absolute shit. It is so so nice to hear Joe being so incredibly honest about himself, just so happens that a lot of our fears/issues are shared. Thank you both for helping us out with what you do. It's brave as hell, and very cool

[@Stenzer80]

Joe your a star dude! I suffer from depression and it's helped to relate to what you have said, and to feel like i'm not the only one going through shite! Thanks dude

[@TheViciousdefect]

just found out about The Two Shot podcast today so I had to mooch about abit to find the fist interview with Joe & I'm glad I did,I could honestly listen to him all day,wheather its him going off on a tangent or getting deep hes an incredable person to listen to.he just has something special.I myself have struggled since I was very young with anxiety & depression & knowing someone else gets it & I mean REALLY gets it makes me feel less alone? less of a cliche? less of a basketcase? hes such a honest genuine guy,listening to him be so open about his struggles & what goes on in his head means alot.I'd like to think if i ever bumped into him in person (hes a local lad) I'd have the balls to tell him to his face how much interviews like this mean but I know i wouldnt be able to so a comment on here will have to do...thank you Joe for your honesty & outstanding talent,you are really one of a kind.

[@dontudare]

This podcast is always brilliant, but this one in particular really stands out.

[@clairabelleadams5394]

Salt of the Earth, that fella. There’s f*ck all to be nervous about, Joe. You’re absolutely bob on. I’m one of them people that likes to talk about the nitty gritty and the deep, inner workings of the mind, man. That’s the real stuff. I feel nourished after listening to this. Hearing Joe speak so on a level properly sets me up. Here I am, working from home on overtime. It’s this podcast that has anchored me. I was told by CMHT they’re 99% sure I have Bipolar. The evidence is obvious to me, from the lows to the week long “benders”. I call them. Being so jacked up, wanting to flood the world in love, drowning people in gifts, thinking I’m going to be the next Jeff Bazos one minute, a famous singer the next… Putting things in order of colour, gutting the cupboards and rearranging rooms at 2-3am - not sleeping. I know the dark side too. That paranoia, that “once a week shower”, depriving myself of any deserving and the “mixed” side - the irritability. Great thing I found was using restraint bands at 50-70kg, standing on them and pulling the shit out of them. That energy that builds up when all you can do is pace to burn it off - works better with the restraint bands. Thing is, I get not a lot of people around me understands it, yet something in me says that if they did, it’d be an easier time. My love for people never changes what ever episode I’m in. It’s crippling sometimes, ‘cause all you want to do is feel it back as passionately. So yeah, without that “100%” diagnosis, I’m just out here still dealing with it the best way I can. No meds, no talking therapy (requires diagnosis). I dunno man. I’ve rambled, but Craig - you’re a top fella! Joe - can’t express enough what an amazing bloke he is! I’m late to the party, but this podcast is fantastic. Only listened to both episodes with Gilgun (how I found discovered Two Shot Pod). Be kind to yourselves & know you’re doing a cracking job! Peace&love, Claire.

[@TJNorton]

That was amazing, for so many reasons. Thank you 🙏

[@cazsimmons5594]

you are my fave actor!

[@johnbarton3073]

I bloody love Joe Gilgun, his journey, his manor, he’s helping so many folk with his openness and honesty. The exploration and discovery that everyone is a little bit fucked up!! even the slick, smooth and seemingly casual, they’ve just found a better social camouflage, an operating system that makes it less obvious, their inner wobbles are better masked. The other thing that this kind of conversation does is let’s folk know t’s ok to let others know ya struggling. They love ya, they want to listen. Your friends and family are invested, they love ya to bits..... you are precious, it’s not easy but it’s worth it!! The other gift is his creativity, those stories and life experiences have turned to treasure, he’s found a way to share the funniest stuff. It’s not the normal route to getting things done but people in the industry have found a way. Brassic is absolute GOLD, it’s going to become cult content. I’m so happy Sky made it possible, can’t wait for season 2.😎🤩🙏🏻

[@Oceanandstone]

Joseph Gilgun is amazing 💗

[@trishapalmieri7774]

OMG YES! I had the same thing happen with an xray and asked the doc what it was while he was talking into his little stupid recorder thingy and he told me and my Mom that it was gas and it would pass! CLASSIC ! lollol

[@jennyreay1]

This is like listening to my son talk 😢 my son is the same. Its awful and a battle for them. Wish i could speak to joe about it. ❤❤

[@hunterhoulihan8420]

He seems like such a genuine and decent dude. Even if he doesn't think he is sometimes.

[@trishapalmieri7774]

JOE GILGUN IS THE MAN!! Hands down.. coolest dude... I want to be friends with him!

[@robjt420]
