The following podcast is a dear media production.

The kind of like dehumanizing thing that happens when people see people on the TV, on the phone.

Having an honest conversation with somebody, you are 10 times more likely to remember that.

Because everyone out there just wants connection.

I feel like that people are yearning for community right now.

Me especially. I like to connect to people. So when people try to like write me off as not a real person,

it's like felt very alone within my feelings. Growing up, I just expected the world to

give you the same kindness that you give others. That's what you've been taught growing up.

And so I wasn't ready for what the world had for me. Even like after having a mental breakdown, it's like, yeah, then I was something that I hid from everybody else. Because I didn't want everyone to know that I'm actually weak, you know? Yeah. Fragile. Yeah. My new song, Fragile, I'm kind of talking about bringing it back to who I am, which is a fragile person and a human being.

And just reminding people that I'm human and I'm just like you and we all kind of go through the same things.

Yeah. Chase, welcome to the squeeze.

Thank you guys for having me.

Chase, how do you'll probably like interchange them between the two.

But I'm so excited to sit down and chat.

I feel like I've obviously seen you on the internet for quite some time. But I feel like you, I feel like over the past like year or so, you've really like transformed your social media.

I feel like you are talking about your mental health and you're like really like being open and honest, which I think is like super awesome. So I'm excited to kind of dive into it today.

Oh my gosh, dude, me too. I think this whole process of where I've been trying to find myself on

this journey of life, but also with music, is how can I tell my story and how can I be more open with people

and find a way to connect with everybody through it. And so now that I'm able to release

some music that's kind of about it, I'm able to talk about it so much more openly.

That's okay. I love it. I love it. I'm excited for you. Okay, so we start each episode off with this jar. It's a game called Citrus Got Real. If you want to pull a little question, I know it's funny, if you want to pull a little piece of paper out of there and read us the question, whichever one you are feeling. Hopefully it's not like a makeup question. i feel like going for the one on the tops not

not the vibe maybe i'll go with this one also on the top but who guys if you had a boat what would you name it uh persephone it's like you had that prepared yeah yeah why that name um She's the goddess of the sirens and singing.
