For those who remember the great piece posted by doc about Earl and the corresponding New Yorker article, well, perhaps it's time to call shenanigans. Tyler Craven, a Virginia native who attended Coral Reef Academy in Samoa with Earl, did an interview with Complex about Earl (who he knows and refers to by his government name, Thebe) and life at the boarding school. It's a must read interview as it dives in to life at the school, the relationship between Craven and Earl, and much more. Here are a few parts that I found particularly interesting:
Complex: What would he say about Odd Future and Tyler?
Tyler Craven: He called Tyler his brother and said that they'd do anything for each other. He talked about the OF swag. About the atheist, murderous, wildass fuck mentality they got and we all love. But you can't just be told about his unique style. You gotta see it. He was really humble about his prodigy status, though. He honestly just called his mom a cunt and a bitch repeatedly for sending him there. He would just say, “Who does that?” Especially knowing who he is. He really didn’t know why he was sent there. He knew his mom's reason for doing it, but he was very far from understanding it. There is no understanding it because it doesn’t make sense.
