Chapter 7: What challenges did Casey face in pursuing comedy?
And they would just pop you back and forth.
Hey, go with your mom for a little bit. Get straightened out. You come back. Bang, bang, bang. Was there ever a time you weren't allowed at either one of their houses?
Yes. Yeah. I figured that. Yes, absolutely. Where did you stay then? I like at a friend's house. Got my own condo in Boca.
yeah a friend's house with like a nice family and all that stuff and they were cool to you um yeah sure yeah they were nice well it'd just be random people for a day or two yeah okay all right but yeah when i was 14 they sent me to a rehab for nine months but i ran away i ran away after 10 days
nine months that's fucking the whole year and this is for tussin um yeah tuss and pills uh because opioids were really big where i was from how old are you yeah i was 14 i'm 30 now 30 so you're yeah that's the tail end of the opioid i caught the the 2011-2012 the tail end of the purdue farm almost got me I live to fight another day. Talk about big business.
And what happened when you ran out of rehab after 10 days? What'd they say about that? Are they springing the bill for this too? Or is it like the state?
It wasn't court mandated. My dad was paying for it. Was it a nice one? I guess. It was teenage rehab, so it was just teenagers, and we would just dig stumps all day. It was like spiritual revelation through labor. Sure. Digging stumps sucks. Oh, it was awful, and it was fruitless. It was like martyrs, that French movie, Logic, where it's like, we will break you down to where you are like God. God.
take me away from this suffering so it was like sleep deprivation we would only sleep like four or five hours a night the fuck kind of we go to passages or something yeah i would have like that's crazy maybe i would have stayed but yeah how'd you get out did you like escape or do you just i ran i ran away so i at night there was a one hour break after like a prayer time yeah
There was a prayer time and then there was like I knew it was like a Shawshank thing. I was like, I was like, OK, if I, you know, if I sneak out at this time storm. Yeah, I was like, if if I leave at 910, they won't know I'm gone until 945. And that'll give me time to fucking get some serious mileage. It's only a half an hour.
