WEBVTT - Cry2K (with Monroe Martin) 0:00:03.760 --> 0:00:06.600 I guess Jesus is always cool. It's just all the 0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:10.200 stuff around him is less cool. Yeah, but Jesus was 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:12.639 a cool person, like now that he was like I 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:15.720 really understand the Bible was like Jesus hung out with 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:18.400 the wicked, you know what I mean. He hung out 0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:21.440 with like some wicked motherfucker's. He hung out with party people. 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:24.000 It was like, of course he was cool.

Yeah, you know what I mean. 0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:30.680 He was around people that did drugs and fucking did 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:34.120 all that ship.

Yeah, 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.200 you didn't say convinced that I was gonna give you 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.920 a good intro when we were discussing it ahead of time. 0:02:46.360 --> 0:02:50.760 That's just show me, I guess if that's what you 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:56.320 want to say, I don't. I'm very excited you're here. 0:02:56.440 --> 0:03:00.760 You came with a conspiracy theory that I think is 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.119 probably one that that I don't know that I ever 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:08.000 even associated with black people, if I'm being honest, that 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:11.560 like it. It felt like a very quote unquote white 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.320 conspiracy theory when we were growing up. But I'm very 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.560 glad that you are the person bringing it to us 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.240 because I I know enough of your history to know 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.280 that this is gonna be a very interesting conversation. So 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:30.359 what that said? You said, my mama told me why 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:38.240 two K was real? Yes, And it wasn't even my mama. 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.240 It was because I grew up in foster care. So 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:54.480 somebody else's mom. This problem is I spread last to me? Yeah? Okay, 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:59.600 So so a foster care parent. Do y'all call them parents? 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.800 How does that work? Is it? A I call him 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:08.360 and Mr? Whatever the fun they named like? And some 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.160 of them hate that ship. Some of them are like, no, 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.040 just call me uncle this or just call me that 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:18.400 or call me mom, and it's like I'm not your family. Yeah, 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:23.320 you Mr and Mrs Blante Black. Yeah, and they hate 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:27.320 that ship. I have to assume that to call somebody 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.880 mom and then they return you is that's a that's 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.760 a tough feeling to deal with. It's like, bit, I 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.880 did the thing you told me to do. I call 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:40.280 you mom. I gave you permanent lady energy, and you 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.279 gave me temporary kids. You know what I mean returns. 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:48.200 That's not how this works. So a a foster MR 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:53.120 or missing yes basically told you that hy two K 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:56.760 was a legit thing. Yeah, my foster family, it was 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.520 um where was I was living. I think I was 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.640 living with the Johnson's at the time, and it was 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:06.880 super like churching family church every single day, like maybe 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.640 took off on like Tuesdays or something like that, but 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.440 every single day we went to church. And they truly 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.320 believed it, like like it was the end of the world. 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:21.120 So we had to go to church. We had to pray. 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:22.760 I don't know if you know, but like in church 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.800 you do like the whole write your sins down to 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:27.839 the not your since but the thing that you really 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.960 want to achieve or you're grateful for you had to 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:32.560 write that down to a piece of paper and you 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:34.840 throw it in like a burning trash. Can you stand 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.720 around and pray? That is? That was not standard I 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:44.400 think in every church. Oh yo, no trash can basketball 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:48.480 with your prayers. No, I don't think everybody's doing that 0:05:51.200 --> 0:06:00.080 for the Lord Matthew. No, I I didn't do that, 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.279 but I'm so happy to hear that. That's the thing 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:09.120 that mother's They only talk about white people's craziness with religion, 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.880 but black people take this ship too serious too. And 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.640 as a kid, and I read the Bible like before 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.240 that point. So it's just everything they were saying just 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.039 made sense because I believed in the religion as hard 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:25.520 as they did. So when they were like, we don't know, 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:30.240 like like they believed, but somehow it was like internet 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:34.160 conspiracy that they believed, and it was also something religious 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.880 that they believed. Yeah, that's the part that I guess 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:43.159 I felt confused about, is you're saying that these are 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:47.000 are super religious people and why two K At least 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:52.839 as I understood, it was such a technological, contemporary thing 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.840 that most religious people, I would assume want nothing to 0:06:55.880 --> 0:07:01.520 do with yeah. No. They sucked it at hard and 0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:05.640 and we we unplugged dotty appliances. We didn't have a computer, 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.320 which was like weird, like how you believe that this 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.640 ship called crashed? And you know we didn't have like 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.239 both sponsor homes. I was then had like a computer 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.720 in the living room. They have none of that ship. 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.760 We had to go to the library and using computer. 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.960 But they were like now we had to get prayed up. 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.640 And we was in church like holding hands into the clock, Drick, 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:27.200 I mean I said the clock dry in said the 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:31.560 board dropped the ship. It was like, okay, well things 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:36.000 still here? Okay, sucker, Yeah, that was That's what I 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:38.800 was gonna ask. Was there any embarrassment on the back 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.800 end of this? Was anybody like hey, y'all my bad. 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.000 I was really bugged bad. It was more of a 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:51.480 the Lord will provide right, Yeah, that's when it turned 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.400 into it quickly turned into yeah it worked. I think. No, 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.280 you were wrong. Yeah, no, that you don't get to 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.160 do that. You made a bet, you lost the bet. 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.440 You don't get to be like, well, I always knew 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.720 I was gonna lose, But that's winning in my book. 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:10.880 And it's like come on man. So, so you guys 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:17.560 go to church the night of you know, December nine, 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.240 you spend the entire evening in church. You're praying. What 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.400 what do you think it is that they are or 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.960 maybe you remember what are you praying for? Is it 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:32.240 for your salvation? Is it for the world to actually end? 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:34.960 Because that's the part I guess that confuses me, Like 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.280 do they want it to end or is it I 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.199 wanted to keep going, but if it doesn't, I want 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.360 to be saved in this ship. They didn't. Yeah, they 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.520 want to be saved. They wanted to keep going. But 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.440 if if it did end, if that was the day 0:08:48.559 --> 0:08:51.640 and end it, then you know, then they just wanted 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.559 to seek salvation. So well, we was writing down, we 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:58.719 was riving, writing down what we was grateful for, and 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:02.480 also yeah, just kind of like putting that energy out 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.120 that we can continue because you know, the pastors always 0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:09.079 get everybody routed up, especially the youth, because old people 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.080 he don't believe in them, because he believed in them. 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:18.439 Young vibrant prayers, the young, juicy prayers, you know, the 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:23.920 prayers that are just weird. The old prayers don't got 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:31.319 the slides to the prayers. So they kind of really 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.280 lied on like the youth board and all the young 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.680 people to really participate. So we were like all set 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.520 around praying. We went to the back of the church 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.280 where we threw like the ship into the fire. Were 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:46.760 just all around praying, holding hands and then we ate 0:09:47.000 --> 0:09:49.160 and it's just like an all day thing. But once 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:51.760 it was like five full three to one, we are 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:56.080 like out there like singing and sucking, holding hands and ship. 0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:00.280 And I didn't have any embarrassment just because look, I 0:10:00.320 --> 0:10:03.319 didn't have no investment because I was just like, Okay, 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:07.160 it works, you know what I mean. So you you 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:12.720 were bought in on them, were serving absolutely because that 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:16.280 was given to me. I was like it was given 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:20.439 to me years back, like religion, Like my grandmother used 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.800 to give me the Bible to read when I was 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.120 in like group homes. And if I'm like like Grandma, 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.400 I don't like I'm sad or whatever, ship, but I 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:33.800 read how you reading your Bible, So like all those 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.000 stories like you're not pastor flip ship. So like the 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.000 world itself was like side of Lingamorra and like all 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:42.880 that ship. So that's why they were able to like 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:47.559 kind of believe that this is true, you know what 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:50.160 I mean. That's how tied it to it. It wasn't 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.000 just like oh, electronics. It was just like, yo, this 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.559 has been coming for a long time because of what's 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:58.200 happening on earth with the drug use and the and 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:00.920 the and the violence and all of that stuff. So 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.960 it was believable to me because I've been reading the 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.360 Bible up until that point. I'm with this religious as family. 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.080 We go every day. They're really in the church. So 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:13.439 to me, I was just like, Okay, well this is 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:17.240 this is this could be the end, but we're gonna 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.960 pray that it ain't. Yeah, you're doing some I think 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:25.120 important math here for our listeners that probably it may 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.280 be obvious, it may not be obvious, but I think 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:31.920 the implication is that Y two K And for those 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.280 of you that probably are too young to remember what 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.880 the funk y two K was, but basically, at the 0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.880 year at the clock struck two thousand, theoretically a bunch 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:45.440 of computers couldn't handle changing to two thousand because they 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:49.160 were only set for a two digit time code, and 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.920 so that zero zero meant that computers would think that 0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.400 we had gone all the way back to nineteen hundred 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.600 and they would like shut down. That was the big 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:00.600 scare of of Y two K. And so what you're 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:04.240 saying is that that shutdown, which ultimately would have landed 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.560 all of us in like darkness for a while and 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.720 hunger and all kinds of crazy things, is just the 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:16.080 rapture coming to life. It's the action, like real thing exploding. 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.040 And so for you, a person who's reading the Bible, 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:23.120 aware of these stories being coached by these adults in 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.440 your life, to believe this ship, all of it's colliding 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.559 in a way that you're like, hell, yeah, I'm gonna 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.880 pray in a church all the way through midnight. All 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.600 the way through midnight. We was in that like six 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:45.400 six and clock. We ate two dinners, which is not 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:48.320 what God teaches you. God doesn't go like, hey man, 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.960 you gotta eat two dinner. You know, you still only 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.920 need one dinner, only dinner. But we had to. We 0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:59.160 had the church dinner and then they ran and everybody 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:03.959 got like, I think, like chicken from Popeyes, even chickens 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.600 waiting for the end of the world to happen. We're 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:11.040 gonna die. We're gonna die. Gluttonous and weird, just filled 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:16.080 with Popeyes. So you pray all night, you buy into 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:20.360 what these people are selling. Do you remain a believer 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:26.280 in what was offered to you as a as a child? Yeah, 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:30.080 for a while, I still was like like it was 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:34.240 more of like a shoth. I'm glad it didn't turn 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:38.080 out that way, but you never know, you know what 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:40.560 I mean. So it wasn't like it wasn't like this 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:44.160 ship is fake. It was like I was like, all right, 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.199 we had faith and maybe it just wasn't that time, 0:13:48.400 --> 0:13:51.280 you know what I mean. But nobody, like nobody in 0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:55.839 that church walked away like snaked tripping, Like nobody walked 0:13:55.840 --> 0:14:00.560 away through like that. Everybody walked away like yeah, okay, 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:02.960 we did that blessed, you know what I mean, that's 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:06.400 the blessed. Let's continue to live our life righteous from 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:10.400 this moment on. So it's like another it was like 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.360 everybody's going, okay, we got another opportunity to can't you 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.520 tend you living? And you literally made it out of 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:21.600 a car crash that wasn't a crop crash. We was there, 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:28.320 We was all walking, ain't We wasn't in a car? Okay? 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:33.520 So so you walk away, you're feeling positive. I guess 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:36.840 about the fact that you survived this really scary thing. 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:41.240 I guess what I'm curious about is how long does 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:43.720 that carry you? Do you continue to believe that to 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:47.320 this day? Are you like still like secretly on some 0:14:47.440 --> 0:14:50.880 religious ship or you like no, After about a year 0:14:50.880 --> 0:14:52.920 and a half, I knew they were bullshitting and I 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.640 was ready to move on that you were. I believe 0:14:55.760 --> 0:15:02.520 the religion heavily until at least like maybe like sixteen seventeen, 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.040 and then I started to be like, man, this don't 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.840 make more sense because if you really start to read 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:12.600 the Bible, it's a scary thing. And the way the 0:15:12.720 --> 0:15:17.280 stories are, it's like it applies to everything anytime, you 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.320 know what I mean, like anything, and that's a scary thing. 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.480 So for me, like I was just like, I don't 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.880 know if I can believe in religion this hard. I 0:15:25.920 --> 0:15:28.400 believe that I believe in God. I'll keep one foot 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.720 in the door, but you know what I mean, Like 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:35.440 I kept the God part. I lost that book Like yeah, yeah, 0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:39.480 niggas taking this book too serious. For a while, yes, 0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:43.760 until like sixteen seventeen, I was very religious and very 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:47.000 like you know, we're on borrow time and we're sucking 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.560 up as people and any day God can just come 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.240 down the end. It's motherfucker. Because there was like mud slides, 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.400 like like I lived in fear because there was always 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.600 something happening, and especially because a lot of my foster 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:03.680 parents watch world news, not local news, not just they're 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:06.240 always violence, you know what I mean. There was always 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:10.280 some killings. There was always like some natural disaster happening 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:14.880 in another country. So it just felt real. It just 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.800 felt like yo, okay, like this world is coming to 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.320 an end. We just don't know when it's going to 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.320 happen all at the same time. And then once like 0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:26.760 that I said, what sixteen seventeen happened? I was like 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:29.920 always breaking like that's how it looked that. I was 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:34.520 like countries always get bit with ship. But yeah, it 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:38.040 would be as if, uh, there was like some sort 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.520 of ant hill network that ants were finding out how 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:43.960 many of their hills got kicked over every day. And 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:47.160 it's like if they knew the number of ant hills 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.560 I lit on fire with magnifying glasses and kicked over, 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.840 they'd be terrified. But if you just think you're if 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.040 you just live in your aunt hill and don't have 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.840 all that other information. The world is not as scary 0:16:58.880 --> 0:17:05.000 of a place. It's it's relatively peaceful most of the time. Absolutely. Absolutely, Yeah, 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:08.400 it's a weird game that we play, I think as 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:13.720 humans where we're wanting to to make bigger connections and 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.800 in those bigger connections just scare the ship out of 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.640 us and then make us turn to things like going 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.280 to church five days a week to ensure our our 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:28.520 salvation from the horrors that that faced us. Yeah. Absolutely, 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:31.600 And it was more than like ship shutting like y 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:36.200 q K was more than like just computer shutting down. 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.800 It was like now and I know, I'm like, oh 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:41.240 ship I was told a different story. Like our story 0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:45.280 was more like like anything can happen at that point, 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:49.040 like nuclear missiles and ship can like launch and go 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.200 off and stuff like that. It wasn't just like, oh, 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:54.000 we ain't gonna be over there email our friends. It 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.359 was like, nah, all the ship we created is going 0:17:56.440 --> 0:17:59.879 to implode on us than you know what I mean. Yeah, 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:02.960 why two K was this close to like the terminator 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:06.840 sky net like thing that that we've been warned about 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:08.960 at least up to this point that you know, at 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:12.080 some point all this AI we keep inventing is going 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:15.200 to actually like murder us. But until that day, this 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.440 was Skynet. This was fully our bombs are gonna are 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.560 gonna turn and face us and shoot us in our 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:25.719 our fucking noses, you know what I mean. So so 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:28.960 you you believe this, you're bought in on this, and 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.120 then at some point you're not bought in on it. 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.920 Where do you stand now with the I'm curious about 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:36.919 this just having done some of the research, and I 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:39.480 won't I won't flag anything that I found yet, but 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:41.479 I am curious to know where do you stand with 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:45.479 Y two K in general? Or do you feel like 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:48.960 that's a ridiculous premise? Are you? Like? Nah? Y two 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:52.000 K had its legitimacy? Like where where does it live 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:59.000 in your head? Like it was definitely some you know 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:04.280 what I mean? It was definitely like yeah, just like 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:07.440 it just didn't make sense after that, you know what 0:19:07.520 --> 0:19:10.040 I mean, Like looking back at it was just like 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:15.240 like why would the computers just like everything clock off 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:18.000 and just not be able to go, oh ship, it's 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.840 two thousands, like it didn't like looking back up now 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.440 and I know how computers working, I'm like, and they 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:29.280 get updates when you switch coast. They can't remember to 0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:33.240 go two thousand, right, you know what I mean? The 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.320 computer you're saying the computer could have figured this out, 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:40.600 that this wasn't Yeah, yeah, this wasn't like some complicated 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.480 math problem that like they just couldn't equate. It's like 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:45.680 now they would have They would have come around eventually 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:49.560 on this. Yeah, it was like more like like when 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.200 I realized it was just like, oh, ship's gore shut 0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:55.120 down because people, well, I'm like, what people ain't gonna 0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:57.800 be at their death? Like who what? What series of 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:01.800 computers had to shut out for like bombs and ship 0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:05.040 to go off And there's no set there's no fail safe. 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:08.760 They didn't program it to not blow up if they 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:12.320 can't access some ship, right you know what I mean? 0:20:12.640 --> 0:20:15.600 So like now knowing more and I'm like and knowing 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.560 and when I say knowing more, like when I was young, 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:21.879 I didn't know how advanced computers worked. Like there was 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.400 just some ship we was forced to use in school 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:26.960 for a class. So I didn't know then, you know 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.560 what I mean. We just like wrote papers and sucking, 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:34.119 played mind sweep and ship like that, but I didn't 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:38.000 know how advanced it really was. And knowing how advance 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:40.520 it was, I was like like now and I'm like, man, 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.760 that's a bullshit. Like now watching documentaries on like how 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:47.520 far computers came, and when they got to my aids, 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:51.800 they were pretty like already like used around the world 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.960 and for businesses and they can pretty much do anything. 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:57.800 And I'm like, oh man, I was just sucking stupid 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:00.399 as ship like I was with some stupid ass people. Yeah, 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:05.520 trail is not the the the greatest potential of these machines. 0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:09.920 There are other things that they can do. Yeah. I 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:14.280 think you're making a really important point because I think 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:19.080 a lot of people, on average, most people don't know 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:22.800 what computers can actually do. And I do think that 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.600 that was sort of like the sweet spot that Y 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.920 two K kind of found us in, where like there 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:32.800 were still homes in America where people didn't have Internet access, 0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:36.639 didn't have computers, weren't connected in that way, and so 0:21:36.720 --> 0:21:39.560 when a bunch of people start screaming that like the 0:21:39.600 --> 0:21:44.160 Internet and the computers are going to destroy us, it's like, yo, 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:47.040 I don't even got one of those. I'm scared as fuck. 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:50.800 Whereas now we know everything about computers, or at least 0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:54.240 everything about computer potential to be like, bitch, I'll kill 0:21:54.320 --> 0:22:00.800 my computer first, Like you know, I feel yea through something. 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:07.720 I'm not gonna beat me up. Are you talking about? Okay, 0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:10.560 my last question before we go to break and I 0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:12.919 and this. I can't imagine that this is true, but 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:16.120 I'm curious do you still keep in contact with this family? 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:20.480 Is there is there any communication at this point? No, 0:22:20.680 --> 0:22:23.639 I don't keep it because I had too many families, 0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:26.119 you know what I mean, Like I lived like fifteen 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:29.359 different like foster families and foster facilities and all that ship. 0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:33.040 So I was with too many to really just like 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:36.800 keep track. But they were the most religious people I 0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:40.040 haven't lived with. Like everybody else after that point kind 0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:43.040 of believed in it. Like they believed in religion like 0:22:43.080 --> 0:22:45.480 if they needed like a raise that work or something, 0:22:45.960 --> 0:22:48.720 you know what I mean, Like they're like I need 0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:51.119 a blessed real quick. Let me go to church for 0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:55.840 like two weeks. And then to me, like getting to 0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:59.040 see those different relationships with like God and ship like 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:01.320 that that got me to be like people don't know 0:23:01.359 --> 0:23:03.400 what the funk they talk about or what they're doing. 0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:06.800 They're just reading this book that they don't know where 0:23:06.840 --> 0:23:12.640 they got it from they just like, that's that's such 0:23:12.680 --> 0:23:15.680 an exposing thing. I have to imagine for a young 0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:19.520 person to like, it's one thing to get religion from 0:23:19.560 --> 0:23:22.760 your parents, right or from the adults in your life, 0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:27.560 because you are getting their information the way they see 0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:30.639 it all the way through, start to finish. But if 0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:34.119 you have fifteen different iterations of this thing, at some 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.560 point you just see all the holes. You can pope, 0:23:37.640 --> 0:23:40.120 you know, in all of it. None of it's real. 0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:43.879 It's all just whatever you decided it should be. And 0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:46.280 I guess I'm here for a while, so I'll pray 0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:51.880 along with you. Yeah. Absolutely, that's oh man, that's magnificent. 0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:54.480 What we would all benefit from a little bit of 0:23:54.840 --> 0:24:00.840 foster behavior, you know what I mean? Yeah, just just 0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:03.720 like I think we all should just like you know 0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:06.240 how they do like wife swap, I think you should. 0:24:06.280 --> 0:24:09.040 Everybody should have to live with everybody's family, just to 0:24:09.119 --> 0:24:12.679 realize how ridiculous the ship you'll believe it is, Like this, 0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:15.840 ain't how you supposed to eat spaghetti white. A goddamn minute, 0:24:16.040 --> 0:24:18.359 I'm getting out of here. Oh yeah, my Figer, I 0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:21.919 didn't learn the spoon thing until at least like was 0:24:21.960 --> 0:24:25.560 it like nineteen Yeah, spoon just spaghett it. I'm like, 0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:29.280 that's just too many utensils. It's too many utensils. And frankly, 0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:31.199
