And I, of course, being the outdoors kid that I was, I still had the love of all those things. They sent me to fucking paradise in my mind if I could just get outside the fence. You know, there's like all sorts of reptiles and critters I want to go catch. It was outside of Ogden, Utah, so near Great Salt Lake. And I was definitely going to run.

I mean, I knew how to survive out in the desert, and that was what I, in my mind, that's what I was going to do. But the day I got there, I saw a track star that I had known from school in California who was also sent out there to try to run. And keep in mind, I can't run for shit. Like, I'm not a runner.

And three giant Mormon dudes tackled his ass, and they shot him so full of Thorazine, he didn't come out of the room, and they put him in for like a week. So I was like, I'm not going to run from this one. And so I got to work manipulating my circumstances again. I convinced another doctor that I was very, very bipolar and just needed to be medicated.

And then when they did that, I checked all the boxes and did all the stuff and ended up graduating from that place in nine months. Wow. But I was being medicated for a whole bunch of shit that wasn't even wrong with me, which presents all sorts of new problems. My judgment was fucked. Obviously destroyed my brother's dreams of finishing acting school out there.

My dad had to take a demotion with Pfizer to get us out of there, to get us out of California. Wow. He moved us back to Alabama. I think I was, I think I turned 16 right after they got me out. And so I've been out in front of my parents' roof for like a year at this point. My brother didn't really even speak to me.

I do remember the day that I drank that bottle of rubbing alcohol, I guess the plan to send me to Utah was already in place because the last thing I remember before I passed out and then woke up in a hospital was my little brother going, hey, Ben, you ever been to Utah? So he's always been a little smartass. Jeez.

Right about to turn 16. I may have turned 16. I don't quite remember. You remember I mentioned the kid that stepped on an alligator with me, Bo Goodson? That was in Mississippi. We moved to Hoover, Alabama. And my first day at school, I ran into fucking Bo Goodson. The dudes, they had moved, and we just ended up at the same high school together, which almost fucked me up really bad.
