Full Episode
I was Jesus Christ. I was walk-a-fuck-a-thing. When they raided me, saw the Grim Reaper that night, lights would beam out from my eyes and they would light up and I would see something that was inside of them that wasn't there. When I was 12, things started to change. Flashing cop lights, mom and dad beat the crap out of each other, loud music till the morning, like, what's going on?
The kids at school, like, they don't go through this stuff. So something was happening. Their marriage was falling apart. Mom had been a powder addict since she was 16. I just found that out a few years ago after she passed away.
It helps looking backward, looking at her behavior, her undiagnosed mental illness, like how belligerent she was, how violent she could be on the way that the family fell apart, that she was chasing an addiction, trying to support her habit. Dad lost his job at the plant. You know, he was a maintenance supervisor at a plant.
And I guess he rode around in a camper for like a month, hung out down at the river lot, acting like he was going to work, but wasn't. So when my mom found out, she's like, hey, you're going to go to North Carolina. It's not good.
I hear about that. The guys that like will leave and act like they're going to work. Like, don't you think that's going to catch up with you?
It did.
Yeah, I mean, I know. But I mean, to me, it's I can't blame him because he's probably get socked in the mouth.
If that was the truth when it came out and he did get socked. My mom beat the shit out of my dad a lot. There's only one time we're going to fast forward to this wild story. We were at the beach in North Carolina for some kind of work retreat for my dad. And dad came back from the event early because they were down there drinking or whatever. Mom had gotten loose.
She likes to dance and cause a scene. You're like, you know, speak up a little bit. I'm like, I don't want to start acting like my mom here. So he comes back into the bedroom. It was me, my brother, my brother-in-law. And I just remember waking up and dad was like in the bed next to me, next to my brother. And mom came in and out of nowhere, she was just like, what are you doing, Scott?
