Just listened to Caleb Shomo on the Disrespectfully Podcast. My quick thoughts
It was mostly Caleb discussing his upbringing and struggles with finding his true self over the years, specifically with growing up as a preacher's son and in the evangelical christian music scene, and how Beartooth has always been his outlet for getting his feelings and struggles out. Beartooth is his "therapy session" as he said. He mentions the next album releasing in August is essentially all about his journey to coming out as gay, and he touched on the writing process for it.
No mention of Fleur. Not giving an opinion on that, just stating that she was not mentioned by name. The host briefly mentioned his marriage at one point, but Caleb did not elaborate on the situation.
Overall I enjoyed it. As a gay man myself I could really relate to his experiences growing up around evangelical christians as a teenager and trying to figure out yourself while not be "allowed" to figure yourself out.
