Yo, I like to welcome everybody back to a brand new episode of the Cognitive Collage
podcast.
I'm your host Quentin Golden.
Her friends and family, they called me QG for short.
And if you feel like that's what we're becoming, feel free to call me that too.
Where do y'all want to start?
Alright, what do y'all feel about receiving gifts from your ex?
This is only, well, I mean, I guess it wouldn't apply if you're in a relationship, but in
the context of this conversation, it's going to be based on if you're currently in a relationship,
right?
And let's say your ex, I don't know, randomly pistol-otterly.
And so whatever reason you came to mind and they want to give you like a substantial amount
of money, let's say they won $300 million and they want to give you $2 million, right?
Or flip it.
Let's say your current significant other, their ex, won that money and wanted to give
the money to your ex.
Or to your, that ex wanted to give the money to like your current significant other.
Like, what's your response to that?
You go, nah, man, fuck that.
Tell them to keep that $2 million.
Or you go, alright, you'll take the money.
You're going to split it.
We're going to like pay some bills, you know, pay off the house because clean about that,
whatever.
Or would your pride not allow you?
Or would in the back of your mind, would you like, what do they got to do in return for
the, like, where would your mind go?
I think that's a, I think that's a really interesting question.
Like, how would you respond to it?
Like, what would be your feelings and your feelings and your response can be two different
things.
Like you can feel how you want.
You really can't help how you feel, but you totally control how you react.
You know what I mean?
Like, I would want to know how would you feel about it.
And then secondly, I would want to know how would you react to it.
I, I've been, I've been, to me, I wouldn't accept shit from any exes of mine.
And it's not that I wish anything bad on them or no shit like that, but we're exes for
a reason.
I would be more, I would be more, I think my mindset would be more so like, why?
Why do you want to do this?
As opposed to, oh shit, you giving me something nice.
I would be like, why would you want to?
You know what I mean?
I don't know.
That's weird.
You know what I mean?
But I don't know.
So there's these drones that's been hovering above New Jersey and New York.
And I think so.
I think it's far down as like DC potentially.
And they're saying that these drones, they don't know who's manning them, who's operating
them.
I mean, some of the drones come up out the ocean and then sly over like, you know, cities
and all that type of shit.
They haven't done anything.
They actually shot one down over there, I believe, or maybe they didn't.
I'm not sure on that.
Don't quote me on that.
But if you know anything about American or as far as the government and the military,
the military is concerned, they own their own airspace.
I know that's a weird thing to say.
How the fuck can somebody own the air?
But they do, especially at the 9-11 attacks, which was like 20 years ago, whatever it was,
the airspace restriction laws are extreme.
Everything that gets within those, I guess, restricted areas or like that gun down like
immediate.
So the fact that these drones are like, you know, hovering over cities and the government
hasn't taken action yet in my mind would make me believe that we own those.
Because like they did have a guy come out in the press conference and go, yeah, these
drones, they don't have any symbols.
They don't have anything about these drones that would make them think that it's from
another country like Russia or China or, you know, North Korea or Iraq or, you know, any
country that America typically is at arms with.
Which makes me think, all right, we own them.
And if we do own them, why not come out and say that we own them?
You know what I mean?
Like if I'm not much of a history buff, but I do my research on certain events.
And if anybody, if you do your due diligence, you'll see like the Pearl Harbor situation
and what was the origins and what was the true motivations for going to war behind that?
You know what I mean?
So this kind of give me that same kind of feel like maybe the drones would do some shit
and the mass public would react like we're being attacked from, you know, a different
country or, you know, not the Pearl Harbor, but from like outer space or some shit like
that.
Which in turn, and by the way, we have like, we have like a space force as a division of
the military.
So how you have like the National Guard, the Marines, you know, the Army, the Navy, the
Air Force, there's a space force which got, I think, $750 billion and funded in the few
years ago.
Why would you spend that money?
Why would you even create that if you didn't think it was a necessity to have?
You know?
So let's say if there was some kind of, you know, restriction or whatever that they wanted
to put in place or if you make the mass public believe that, you know, there's some kind of
alien attack and y'all got to take these steps to be safe.
It's sort of like the COVID thing where, you know, nine out of 10, most people are going
to play ball and go, well, should I want to be safe?
And all of this shit to me is just like, it's a theory.
I'm not stating anything to be definite.
I'm not saying I have some kind of inside information.
I do not.
I'm just, you know, a person with common sense sitting back looking at this shit and go,
hmm, this seems weird.
This seems awkward.
And honestly, I'm speaking so freely about it because I mean, if I'm being completely
honest, like I have a small platform.
You know what I mean?
Like I have a decent amount of listeners, but not enough to like fucking trend on any
social media, you know, have people writing, you know, blogs or Reddit to something about
what I'm saying.
But if I did trust and believe they would not, I would not be allowed to speak so freely
about this.
But again, let's talk to that.
It's getting close to Christmas.
And I don't know.
I'm not a holiday person.
You know what I mean?
But everybody's hyped about it.
So I've been trying to get into the spirit of it.
Again, not saying I'm a history buff of, you know, to any capacity, but I do research
things that I have questions about that don't sit right with me.
And, you know, the origins of Christmas is one of those things.
And, you know, I can never really get behind.
Man, do I want to do this shit?
No.
All right.
So just research Pagans and Christians and how they had to find some level of common ground
and you'll see how, you know, the birth of Jesus and when his birth occurred and, you
know, like when the Pagans do their like winter solstice and, you know, how it all lines and
how they had, you know, this like metal kind of statue that they like set on fire type
of shit.
It was basically an oven and you have to put something on his lap and then you will write
down what you were hoping for.
Oh, I hope we get better crops this year.
I hope that, you know, my cows have more babies so we can, and then you will, you will put
whatever your offering was.
So I'm saying it might have been a child, but I don't know, that's true or not.
But you will put that on the lap of this oven, basically.
And then you will throw your wish list in the back.
And now you draw the correlation between, yo, you write Christmas list for Santa, you sit
on this lap, you grant, you know what I mean?
It's weird.
A lot of the things that like, you know, we believe in, or that's considered to be traditional
from, you know, brother's holidays or religion or whatever.
If you take the, let's say you, you had no concept of any of these things, right?
And hypothetically, we, we're in the imagination line right now.
So let's say you've never heard of Christmas or anything, but we're going to stick to Christmas
specifically.
And you just happen to be like coming out the store and there's like a random homeless
guy, he goes, yeah man, there's this fat guy who lives in the North Pole.
He got small elves.
He got reindeer's, deers that can fly.
And he travels the entire world in one night.
And he's going to give you gifts.
He's going to sit down in your chimney.
And if you don't have a chimney, he's going to find his way in there.
But if you've been bad, he's going to leave you a lump of coal.
And then you would go, how would you know?
I mean, how would he know if I'm been good or bad or, oh, because he can see everything
that you do.
Excuse me?
Yeah.
He sees everything that you do.
He makes note of it.
And then he either rewards or he punish you for the things you did or did not do.
Who else does that?
They see everything.
You're going to be judged for the things you've done or didn't do.
You'll either be rewarded or punished for said things.
Who does that sound like?
Somebody birthday is that date?
This is the date that he decides to get up and, you know, bless the world.
I'm off of that shit.
It's probably some nigga listening right now.
Like, don't you dare talk about Santa Claus and Jesus.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
But it's like, you know, what's that beliefs as, you know, at a lesson like doing adolescence
and we eventually like grow out of it, but, you know, religious, one of them things where
we just like, no, this shit is the truth.
But at some point he was like, man, Santa ain't real.
At some point he was like, man, the Easter Bunny isn't real.
But as a kid, you loved it.
You have faith in it.
You wrote letters.
You would say your prayers at night and go, man, bless my whole family and Santa if you're
listening.
You want that mountain bike with the pegs on the front and then you don't get the fucking
bike with the pegs on the front.
You get like the fucking Game Boy color, some random ass shit that you kind of wanted, but
not as bad as that bike.
And he just like, damn, you know what I'm saying?
Santa Claus, what did I do?
You flip that shit.
You know what?
I'm going to let go and let go.
And then you pray about some shit and pray that it happens and then it doesn't happen.
And you go, why am I being tested?
Am I not?
This isn't a denigrate anybody's, you know, belief system or anything like that.
I'm just, again, I'm a person who observes.
You know what I mean?
Funny enough, the other day, I'm looking up like the Fibonacci sequence and how it plays
a role mathematically into like basically the entire universe type of shit.
So I'm going through, I'm, you know, why is the numbers ordered that way?
Why are they named?
Why is one name one?
Why is two named two?
So and there's answers for all of these questions if you look deep enough.
So in the midst of that, I'm going through nine, the number nine.
And the more I dig into the number nine, like it almost scared me to the degree.
Like nine is like the number nine is a perfect, it's a perfect, it's a perfect number onto
itself is a perfect number.
So nine times two is 18.
How much is eight plus one?
Nine.
Nine times three is 27.
How much is seven plus two?
Shit.
Nine times nine is 81.
How much is eight plus one?
You give it a say?
How much is nine times four?
Or nine times five is 45.
Okay.
How much is four plus five?
You give it a say?
I'm overthinking it, but I ain't gonna lie.
That should creep me out.
And it's just like, it shouldn't because, you know, it's math is sequencing and it's
just like, but it's, it's perfect.
You know what I mean?
And my belief is that nothing is perfect.
Like you find a flaw in anything, but you know, really take the time to, you know, like
I'm a person like, I know exactly what the order of the months was supposed to be.
I know why the, why the, you know, days of the week and name what they are, why the months
of name what they are, how, how, how our entire calendar is off by two months.
And that's because of the due to Augustus and then Julia season.
So you know, they were both like emperors of like, you know, Rome.
So July was introduced in honor of Julia season.
You know what I mean?
So Julian July, Augustus August.
You know what I mean?
Like both emperors felt that they needed a specific amount of time throughout the year
that was dedicated specifically to them.
And the Roman Catholic church, they created this thing is called the Gorgarian calendar,
George Garian or Gorgarian.
I'm pronoun, I'm fucking the annunciation of it up, but it's something in the vein of that.
And it was these monks who, you know, would develop and that believes, but also they had
a real healthy like, uh, appetite for science and like mathematics in the universe.
And they figured out the rotation of the world and seasons and all that.
But like January, October, November, December.
So like October is, you know, the, the 10th month, but in Latin, October means eight because
everything got shifted two months because these two emperors added two months to the
year, which in turn kind of worked out perfectly.
Whether that was intentional or unintentional, but it balances out.
So every month of the year, the number that it correlates with in Latin is shifted by
two months because of this.
So December is the 12th month of the year, but December and Latin means 10.
The same way October and Latin means the number eight, but October is the 10th month because
again everything got shifted.
So much random ass information that like throughout my travels, I just, you know, game.
I don't know what the fuck I'm ever going to use this for.
I'm never going to be anybody's lifeline on a game show.
I'm not going on Jeopardy or no shit.
Like I know this shit.
I know this shit for the sake of knowing it.
You know what I mean?
And it's like another random thing.
So if you ever see a statue or you see a man, a statue of a man on a horse, if that man
is ever on a horse on the statue, it means that he participated in the war and the legs
on a horse will tell you how he fared in that war.
If all four legs are planted on the ground on that horse, it means the man that sit upon
the horse, um, he survived the war and he died of a result or when he died, it wasn't
the result of the war.
If the horse has two legs in the air, it means that man died during the battle.
If the horse has one leg in the air, it means that the guy that's on the horse, he died
as a result of his injuries directly from whatever battle or war he was in.
Why do I know that?
Why do I need to know that?
But I do.
But as much as I have that type of shit in my head, I have like super random like pop
culture, uh, just like tidbits and shit, like, you know, like family matters.
They used to be a show called Perfect Strangers.
And it was this guy named Larry and he had a foreign roommate who was basically like
Borat before Borat named Belki.
They worked at, I want to say it was like a newspaper advertisement place and then they
had a secretary named Harriet.
That secretary, I guess she was such a popular cast member when she would make her appearances.
They gave a spin-off to see what her life would be like.
And that's how you got family matters.
So Harriet from Family Matters originally started off in Perfect Strangers.
And then the Cosby Show did so well and, you know, it shows such a high display of black
excellence, the mother's a lawyer, the father's a doctor.
All the kids go to college.
They're like emotionally balanced.
You know what I mean?
It wasn't no, it wasn't, you know, Cliff and Claire, they're not at each other's necks.
They're not worrying about how the bills are going to get paid.
They're trying to keep their kids responsibilities.
You know what I mean?
So Family Matters was supposed to be the blue collar equivalent of the Cosmis.
You know what I mean?
And that was the plan.
It was going to be the plan.
That's why, you know, Harriet, she worked as like a secretary or assistant or whatever
she was.
And then her husband, Carl, was like, you know, an honorable job.
He's a police officer type of shit.
So that was supposed to be the thing.
So Jalil White came in as a guest appearance.
He was supposed to be like the nerd and Lorde's class were at a crush on her.
But when he did the episode, he tested so well with the audience that he went from being
just her classmates to now becoming like her neighbor.
And, you know, from that, he get more and more appearances to now he's a regular on
the show to basically Family Matters is about fucking Steve Erkman.
But the funny shit is you never meet anybody from Erkman's family.
Now you might have him jumping the machine and step on and turn to the cool version of
itself or like he had a cousin who was pretty much they put Erkman in the dress and gave
him pigtails and like a Southern accent.
Like his cousin, I can't remember what her name was or name was supposed to be, but she's
like obsessive like Eddie.
So for a show called Family Matters, the random next door neighbor mattered more than the family.
And my homeboy tied to him and I didn't think about it until he said the shit.
Like even with the Cosby show, it's called the Cosby show.
But on the show, all their last names is Huxley.
Huxley, Huxley, Huxley, Theo Huxley.
Why the fuck wasn't it called the Huxley?
Again, random ass shit that I have no use for.
But I just know I'll pick it up on my own research or like I said, my homeboy Tom might
say some shit and I'll stop and I'll think about it.
I go, oh, shit.
I never thought about that.
Like, I'm a horror movie buff.
So if you ask most people like, yo, and the first Friday to 13th, like, who was the killer?
And they go, oh, it was Jason.
No, he wasn't the killer to the second movie.
The first movie, the killer was his mother because Jason was a disabled kid who went
to this like camp crystal lake and he got no water.
And the, what do you call these guys who work at the counselors?
They were supposed to be watching over him, but they didn't.
They was like somewhere in the cabin fucking us.
And she's like that.
He drowned and died.
So the mind blame the counselors for his death.
And then I don't know how this nigga came back from the dead or whatever, but she put
it in his mind that all camp counselors are bad.
And if they fucking kill him, that's why in most movies, Friday to 13th movies, it'd
be a group of fucking, you know, teenagers on the early twenties and they hanging off
the summer vacation.
And you know, the dude, everybody's like fucking 10 feet from them.
But he'll go, hey, I'm still in the 10th for a second.
And he's just like, what?
And then Jason eventually pops up and stab you on the head or back or some shit.
Why are you trying to get his pumps off and some shit?
Because the girl always see you first every time.
And then he'll stop and go, what?
What's wrong, baby?
And then like, you know, they be so afraid that they can't say she's a shit.
Just point what her mouth open.
And by the time he turned around, Jason already swinging like the machete and cracking in
the head.
And he'll like pick up the girl by one hand and like brick and neck all dumb.
It's stupid shit.
And I love Friday 13th.
It's one of my favorite series ever that the child's play series, Freddie Krueger
series.
Like, but as I got older, like I really started to enjoy like the insidious and the conjuring
series, not so much the last cities or the last few conjurance.
The first conjuring is chef's kiss.
Like that shit is it's perfect enough backstory, the fucking witch or whatever she was looked
real believable.
It was supposed to be based on true events.
Like the act in this A1, the cinematography is a one to jump scares of quality jumpscares.
Like when that mom goes down to the basement, the lights go out and she likes it.
Like fucking matchstick and she's trying to see what's going on.
And then when those two little hands like clap and then the fucking flame get like blown
out like somebody blew it out.
Perfection.
I've actually recently I've been writing short stories.
I guess you could say like a short film.
So I have two.
One is like a psychological thriller.
One is like hard based, but you know, I'm still flushing them out.
I have a general idea of what I want the movies to be about.
But I might just turn them to short stories and like put them on like YouTube or some
shit like as like a creepypasta, like some like that.
And maybe I reach out to somebody have like animated just so you know, you have the the
aesthetics to match what I'm saying, like, you know, automatically.
I don't know.
Just ran again.
This whole episode has just been about like random thoughts outside of like the fucking
alien drone slash US government drum.
Anyways, like I always tell you guys, I'm here for a good time, not a long time.
And with that being said, I hope whoever's listening to this, whatever goal you're chasing,
I hope you achieve it or get one step closer to achieving it.
I hope everybody is happy, safe, productive.
I hope whatever you got on your Christmas list, Santa brings you, I guess.
I mean, and if anything I said today, you found interesting or though what I said with
some stupid shit, whatever the case may be, you can always reach out to me at Instagram.
QG music that's QGM you.
As I see on Instagram and feel free to DM me.
Give me subjects to talk about it.
You want to hear about or just tell me how like, I don't know what the fuck I'm talking
about.
Even way, feel free to reach out and.
Yeah.
Peace.
How do I finish this.
You
