July 29, 2014 Paul Gilmartin of The Mental Illness Happy Hour
Paul Gilmartin, host of the Mental Illness Happy Hour.
Paul is a funny guy who hosts one of the most best podcasts on the market today. We have a great chat with Paul and we play a game at the end; borrowed from his show where he, Chris and I take turns exchanging things we are afraid of and things we love. It is certainly the most we have ever gotten from Chris on the air.
The Mental Illness Happy Hour is an interview show known for it's candor, depth and intensity. In addition to the interviews Paul reads surveys about their lives filled out by his listeners that are in turn enlightening, horrifying and heartrending. However, the show is ultimately very hopeful. The combination of Paul's' humor, and the hope that is generated when people know they are not alone, gives the show an optimism that transcends the difficult subject matter.
From 1995 to 2011 Paul Gilmartin co-hosted TBS’ Dinner and a Movie, and has been a stand-up comedian since 1987. His credits include Comedy Central Presents: Paul Gilmartin, numerous Bob and Tom albums, comedy festivals and the Late Show with Craig Ferguson. He is also a frequent guest on the Adam Carolla podcast, performing political satire as right-wing Congressman Richard Martin.

In This Interview Paul and I Discuss...

The One You Feed parable.
Forgiving ourselves for past misdeeds.
The healing power of humor when used correctly.
Not using humor to avoid feelings or intimacy.
How we all have the lightest light and the darkest dark within.
The cinematography of The Godfather.
His battles with depression both present and past.
Not being an expert.
That there are no easy answers.
That there are no fast fixes.
When does positive thinking become denial.
Accepting ourselves as we are, and working to change ourselves at the same time.
Letting the mistakes of the past inform our decisions for the future.
Apologizing without expecting something in return.
How we think the way we feel now is the way we will feel forever.
How evolution has made us fear based.
Avoiding useless rumination.
An unshakeable peace....sometimes.
Treating depression like the emotional flu.
We take Paul's show staple of Love Off and Fear Off and all three of us do it.

July 16, 2014 Strand of Oaks (Timothy Showalter)
This week on The One You Feed we have Timothy Showalter from Strand of Oaks.
Strand of Oaks aka Timothy Showalter just released one of the years best records. Heal has been celebrated by NPR, Pitchfork, Mojo and Uncut among many others. It's one of our favorite records of the year. The story behind Heal:
"From the first bars of HEAL, the exhilarating melodic stomp of 'Goshen '97' puts you right into Tim Showalter's fervent teenage mindset. We find him in his family's basement den in Goshen, IN, feeling alienated but even at 15 years old, believing in the alchemy and power of music to heal your troubles. "The record is called HEAL, but it's not a soft, gentle healing, it's like scream therapy, a command, because I ripped out my subconscious, looked through it, and saw the worst parts. And that's how I got better." HEAL embodies that feeling of catharsis and rebirth, desperation and euphoria, confusion and clarity. It is deeply personal and unwittingly anthemic.Showalter was on tour, walking home on a mild autumn night in Malmo, Sweden, when he first felt the weight of the personal crisis that would ignite him to write HEAL. "It was a culmination of pressure," Showalter recalls. "My marriage was suffering, I'd released a record I was disappointed in, I didn't like how I looked or acted...so I'd gone on tour, I was gone about two years! I didn't take time to think about failure, but I knew I was going deeper and deeper...I was thinking, I have this life, but it's not my life, I haven't done it right..."When Showalter returned, he wrote 30 songs in three weeks, a process that proved difficult, but cathartic and at times invigorating. Previous Strand Of Oaks records were more skeletal, raw examples of folk-rooted Americana with occasional rock and electronic currents, that have now come to the fore. HEAL is a bold new beginning, with a thrilling full-tilt sound that draws on Showalter's love of '70s, '80s and '90s rock and pop, with the singer and guitarist playing the intense valedictory confessor.
In This Interview Tim and I Discuss...

The great success of his new record.
The saddest line on his new record.
