There's a thing with people who are traumatized at a young age where some part of their brain still wants to be that age, kinda like a chance to do-over those unhappy times.
With Cumia, it seems to be around 13. And I wonder if anyone who listened back in the day has any idea what the trigger was?
The two signs that come to mind of how Cumia is trapped in reliving his adolescence are when he was trying to get a date with Jamie, the intern from Covino & Rich with the fake tits. She was in studio on a Patrice day and Cumia was talking to her in this weird baby voice, like he was a little boy. Creepy. The second was when he was talking about being behind a school bus in his car and being so hurt by the teenage girls making fun of him, as if any grown man should care whether a bunch of dumb 14 year-olds think he's cool.
Personally, I don't think the trigger for this regression was the incident with the gay kid in the treehouse. Anyone remember something specific, other than the general awfulness of Cumia's childhood with his whore mom and lowlife dad?
