Don’t throw a pity party for Chase, because he’ll just stand you up, even though he has a “dead leg” (Deadleg Media is

the name of his company). Born with cerebral palsy, this Nashville native leans into his disability with humor and

strength, explaining why he chooses confrontment vs. conformity. Breaking the social media code with recent YouTube

videos going viral, this son of a musician chronicles his motorcycle life on the road with relatable tales. You can almost

feel the wind in your face, while absorbing a life lesson or two from this likable young man (and this podcast’s longtime

producer). Also, I bet he can bench more than you. AMONG THE TOPICS: A REAL PAIN IN THE LEGS, REMEMBERING A

FAMOUS DAD, GLOBETROTTERS TO THE HOLY LAND, THE LONGEST THREE MINUTES OF A WOULD-BE STAND-UP

COMIC.
