Paul Gilmartin (actor, comic, host)) as Republican Congressman Richard Martin. So, this week, we're having a conversation with a Colbert-like Character. NOT a real person. Doing it for comedy. We're talking to a buttoned up guy with a lot of screws loose. I thought it would be fun to talk with a CHARACTER like this about Mental Health and the social issues we're dealing with today. Paul is a friend who is a multi-talented writer/performer. He is also a mental health advocate, courageously facing all kinds of issues on his popular podcast "The Mental Illness Happy Hour." https://mentalpod.com/. In this epsiode,we talk about all kinds of things; from Congressman Martin's dad regularly shaming the kids in public, to his zero-tolerance policy toward emotions in the house. For example; he doesn't like it when his wife JAZZ cries, because, with all the smeared mascara, how are you supposed to talk to a raccoon? Jennifer also talks about how to take care of your mental health when your physical health is a problem. From a conversation with a deeply flawed character; it's a funny "how not to" show.
