Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome to Otherworld. I'm your host, Jack Wagner.
Chapter 2: What challenges did Antonio face growing up?
This episode revolves around a guy named Antonio, who grew up kind of bouncing around all over the place, between many different locations and circumstances. Sometimes living with his mom, sometimes with his dad, and sometimes on the Navajo reservation with his grandma.
In his teenage years, Antonio found himself getting in trouble a lot, and this made his already tense home life even more difficult. And it was on a night when Antonio found himself in some serious trouble that he ended up seeing something completely unexpected.
Chapter 3: How did Antonio's home life impact his decisions?
This episode is called The Runaway, and you're listening to Otherworld. Hello? Is this Bobby? Yes, it is.
Chapter 4: What led Antonio to run away from home?
At its core, the science, you can't argue with. A story about all the science.
Chapter 5: How did Antonio experience abuse in his life?
Up in the sky. It's almost frustrating that it's happening. I'm going to die. His limbs were just like, wrong. Everybody moves back into the light, even if it takes them a minute. My name is Antonio.
Chapter 6: What significant event occurred during Antonio's runaway?
I am 37 years old. I currently live in Los Angeles, California, and I work as a designer, specifically in UX and interaction, and I also DJ on the set as well. I was born in Utah and I am quarter Navajo, like a quarter like Native American and Spanish, half white. I grew up kind of like all over that area. And I spent a lot of time on the reservation when I was a kid.
So I'd always go down to the Navajo Nation. I think part of like being like mixed race is like, you know, you don't really have a step family. And I guess segregation was kind of like and a lot of those people from that era were still kind of young. And so it was just one of those things where it was kind of weird to be a mixed race kid growing up.
Chapter 7: How did Antonio describe the UFO he encountered?
And so my white side and Hispanic side really didn't take me in too well. So I always spent a lot of time with the Navajo people. They never asked me about my race or anything. any background, they just kind of accepted me as family.
And so I spent a lot of time with my grandmother speaking Navajo, learning Navajo, keeping up with the traditional ways, with the reservation and my cousins and my family out there. I became very close to them in particular. When I was younger, my mom married a insurance broker out in Los Angeles and we moved out to Santa Clarita and we got a place out there.
Chapter 8: What were Antonio's feelings during the UFO sighting?
My father had moved to Phoenix, Arizona around that time. And so it was one of those things where I was kind of like back and forth between two places and I was kind of far away from the res. But the beautiful thing about living in California was like there were so many people from so many different backgrounds that It didn't really matter who you were.
You know, it was just like, this is my friend. These are my friends. These are the people over here. Oh, that's cool. Like, you know, you're German. Oh, that's cool. Like, you know, you're Dutch or whatever, or like you're this or that. We never worried about like shallow stuff like that. You know what I mean?
It was all just about like having fun, playing, you know, that one game with the pole with the ball that goes around. I can't remember what it's called, but... It was just really nice. And so I always enjoyed my childhood out here. My mom's husband had become pretty abusive, because he wanted the best out of me.
I think he thought I was not very well-disciplined or something, so he would take it upon himself to kind of hit me, yell at me, put me down. I remember he took away everything out of my room one time, where I only had my bed to sleep on, and he threw everything in the garbage.
Yeah, I just, I remember collecting cans out of the garbage can when I was a kid to take them into this recycling place down the street from my house in Santa Clarita and I'd get a little bit of money back and I'd go over to Jack in the Box and, you know, get the jumbo jack for a dollar. Yeah, it was just kind of like a really surreal thing.
I didn't realize how bad it was until I got older, you know. After I graduated elementary school in California, made the obvious decision to go live with my dad, I thought that would be better. My dad is gay, so he has a boyfriend. It's kind of like one of those things like back in the day where it was kind of frowned upon, you know what I mean?
But he was, interestingly enough, a part of this rodeo association called the IGRA, which is the International Gay Rodeo Association. And so I learned how to ride a horse. I learned how to herd sheep. I learned how to even break horses. Just being like a little cowboy kid, I guess. My dad had a big truck.
you know, a very masculine man, you know, and you would never know this guy was like into dudes. I mean, it was, you know, cause we'd go to the grocery store and like women would hit on him and, you know, he would always turn them down and stuff and be like, oh yeah, like I've got somebody, you know what I mean? I've got a man. He was never afraid of being gay. It's just how he was, you know.
But his partner, he started kind of getting really aggressive with me kind of again, like I started getting like the same kind of abuse. And I think like that's like the first time I ran away was when I was in Arizona.
