In the Season One Finale, Jeff talks to comedian Gary Gulman,
an apex Reluctant Phoenix if there ever was one. In 2017, Gary was
hospitalized with major depression, given ECT therapy and was
unsure he'd ever do standup again. Now you can see his one-hour
standup special "The Great Depresh" on HBO.
In this episode, he talks to Jeff Simmermon about his mental health
struggles, the transformative effect his special has had on his
life and career, what it takes to stay healthy, how to support
depressed loved ones and why relentless cynicism is complete
bullshit.
