From navigating a town filled with "inbred deer" to throwing legendary "Smithfest" ragers while his dad was away at nudist colonies, Ben’s upbringing was a hilarious and heartfelt mix of chaos and community. Somehow he survived the pressure of being the island’s class clown, eventually turning a tragic family eulogy into his very first stand-up set. In this episode, we discuss: • Island Life & Beater Cars: Growing up in a town of 80 people where joyrides end in deer bounties and totaled Toyotas. • Eccentric Family Dynamics: The legacy of Ben’s father, Robert L. Smith—a privacy expert who marched with MLK and wrote the encyclopedia definition of "privacy." • Comedy in the Darkest Times: Finding the "high" of performance during his brother’s funeral and the absurdity of grief. • Smithfest & High School Legacies: Throwing the "Project X" of Rhode Island and the glory of high school slapboxing matches. • Coming of Age: The vulnerability of leaving the island at 15 and the "tradition" of the morning-after-Halloween candy pancakes.
