Now married with 3 kids and training for the next olympics, Joe talks with Nina about the dark thoughts in the days, weeks and months after being injured. Plus, his mother's embarrassing questions about sex, how he likes to make people uncomfortable, and an analogy about a pile of crap that now Nina can't 'unsee'.
