Chase and May

One year to the day of the slap heard 'round the world - Chris Rock finally lets us know his thoughts about being slapped on live television by Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars on his live Netflix special, Selective Outrage. We laughed, we hid behind our pillows, we felt some kind of way. Tune in to hear our take on this hilarious bit of comedy and what we think might be the best course of action for Mr. Smith. #SaveWill

This one just might hit ya in the feels, fair warning! We sat down to unpack something that has been an item of great focus, work, and love - Chase's healing journey from the traumatic death of his father at age 19. Recorded shortly after the 18-year memorial of his passing, Chase is now finally able to talk freely and openly about what that loss did to him mentally, emotionally, spiritually and how it has impacted our relationship and our marriage over the years.

Episode resources:

• Chase's PTSD healing has been greatly alleviated by seeking professional mental health help and using such resources as ketamine assisted psychotherapy from Field Trip Health, Nue Life, and WonderMed.

Welcome to our first official episode! To get us started, we thought it would help set the stage for the rest of the show if we peeled back the curtain and shared who we are as individuals. We open up about our personalities and interests (the fun stuff), what we do in the world professionally (the adulting stuff), how our love story began (the romantic stuff), and everything else in between.
