Transcript

00:00 - Hi, I'm Tiana Parris.

00:01 - And I'm John Boyega.

00:02 - And this is Rolling Stones,

00:05 What Would You Do?

00:06 with the cast of They Cloned Tyrone.

00:09 - Let's go.

00:10 Dear John, I'm convinced that my workplace

00:15 is nothing but a simulation.

00:17 It all started when a coworker made a joke

00:20 about the calendar saying,

00:22 "It's days are numbered."

00:24 And then spilled his coffee in a fit of laughter.

00:27 Oddly enough, the exact same incident

00:29 occurred the very next day.

00:31 Now I can't help but notice

00:33 peculiar patterns all around me.

00:34 The assistant leaving for lunch

00:36 at precisely 1.03 p.m. every day,

00:39 the editor who rolls his chair back and forth like a robot.

00:42 I suspect they are all part of this simulation

00:45 and I'm the only genuine person.

00:47 The fear of being discovered gnaws at me.

00:50 What would you do?

00:51 - I'd find another career, baby.

00:54 We ain't set up for all of that.

00:57 Don't do no investigation.

01:00 Just be out there.

01:01 - Leave, immediately?

01:02 - Yeah, immediately.

01:03 That's like being in an online video game

01:06 and then everybody's kind of like computer simulated.

01:08 You gotta get out of there.

01:10 Unless that's gonna be you.

01:11 Get out.

01:13 - Dear Tiana,

01:18 every day I visit my favorite lunch spot

01:20 and order a salad bowl with a side of rice.

01:23 Something always fell off about the rice

01:25 and it finally dawned on me.

01:27 Though seasoned immaculately,

01:29 I'm pretty sure the rice is actually tiny pieces

01:32 of styrofoam cut to look like rice?

01:36 When I confronted them about it,

01:38 I obviously sounded crazy and they totally denied it.

01:41 I'm gonna save a piece to send into a lab.

01:44 However, I don't wanna lose my favorite lunch spot.

01:47 Should I send the sample to the lab

01:49 or go back to the bliss

01:50 of unknowingly eating seasoned styrofoam?

01:54 What would you do?

01:54 Sincerely, rice researcher, Rachel.

01:58 Rachel, girl.

02:00 Okay, I'm gonna try to have a little compassion for you

02:02 because if you would have said bread,

02:04 I could totally understand why you would be like,

02:07 I'm gonna just keep eating it.

02:08 But styrofoam?

02:10 Mm-mm.

02:11 - How can styrofoam be seasoned to a good point?

02:14 - I'm gonna need you to let that go, Rachel.

02:16 - Yeah, Rachel.

02:17 - Because that just can't be healthy.

02:19 I think that you should send it to the lab.

02:22 And then also, because you know,

02:24 maybe give people the benefit of the doubt,

02:27 keep eating the rice, the rice, styrofoam rice,

02:30 if that's what you wanna call it,

02:31 until you see the results.

02:33 Because obviously you're considering continuing to eat it.

02:35 - The results about to be canceled.

02:37 - Oh, sorry, girl.

02:39 - Eating that, mm-mm.

02:40 - Yeah, if it is styrofoam, you must stop immediately.

02:43 - Immediately. - Immediately, okay?

02:45 - And go see a health professional.

02:46 - Yes, good luck with that, Rachel.

02:48 (gentle music)

02:50 - Dear John, in my neighborhood,

02:52 there's a bagel shop known for its delicious bagels.

02:55 Oh, well done.

02:55 Despite the constant chaos and shouting among the employees,

02:59 it's become the norm and we all tolerate it

03:01 for the sake of the amazing bagels.

03:03 However, something unusual happened today.

03:06 As I entered the shop,

03:07 I was greeted with a cheerful good morning

03:09 and witnessed a surprisingly pleasant atmosphere.

03:12 It caught me off guard.

03:13 On my way out, I noticed an older gentleman

03:15 sitting on a nearby bench, observing me

03:17 and doodling in a notebook.

03:19 Should I be concerned or should I just take it as a win

03:21 that everyone in the shop seems to be happy now?

03:24 What would you do?

03:25 Oh, just mind your business, man.

03:27 It's all right, Becky.

03:28 (Rachel laughs)

03:29 Becky, you be all right.

03:30 That doesn't sound like a big deal.

03:32 They was just all arguing.

03:33 No, they've just sorted out the scenario, love.

03:35 They're all good.

03:36 It's all peace and harmony.

03:37 - It only happened one day.

03:38 It's not like you showed up three days in a row

03:40 and it was the same exact situation.

03:43 So maybe they just went to therapy or something.

03:46 - Yeah, yeah, work therapy.

03:48 - Okay.

03:49 (gentle music)

03:51 Dear Tiana, I suspect that my boyfriend is cheating on me

03:55 with someone who has been stalking me on Instagram.

03:58 Girl or person, I'm sorry.

04:00 Okay, this particular influencer

04:03 seems to mimic my every move.

04:05 A few weeks ago, I did a photo shoot in a white convertible

04:08 wearing a green dress and a sun hat.

04:10 And a few days later, she posted photos of herself

04:13 in a white convertible with a green dress and a sun hat.

04:17 This pattern has repeated before.

04:19 More recently, I noticed that a unique thrifted pantsuit

04:23 went missing from my closet,

04:25 only to discover that she is now flaunting it in her posts.

04:29 It is a one of a kind piece, making it even more perplexing.

04:33 I know it sounds crazy.

04:34 Yes, girl, it do.

04:36 But I can't shake the feeling that my boyfriend is involved

04:40 in providing her with items from my wardrobe.

04:42 How would you handle a situation like this?

04:45 What would you do?

04:46 Sincerely, fashionista, frustrated, girl.

04:51 First of all, you need to check your man, child,

04:56 'cause he seems like the ops, okay?

04:59 And he is trying you, because there's no other way

05:03 she's getting all of these things from your closet.

05:06 Like, it has to be him.

05:08 And then, I just need you to just know

05:12 that you are worth more than somebody

05:15 who would do this to you, okay, sis?

05:17 Like, don't accept this kind of behavior.

05:20 Leave immediately, immediately, and let her have it.

05:23 And maybe you could block her

05:25 so she can't see what you're posting,

05:27 and then, you know, leave it at that.

05:29 But also, imitation is a form of flattery.

05:32 Let her eat her heart out.

05:34 - Pull up to the photo shoot.

05:35 Whoop her ass.

05:37 (laughing)

05:38 - What?

05:39 - Anyway, sorry, dear John.

05:40 (laughing)

05:42 (gentle music)

05:44 - I was having a very typical day on a walk in the park

05:47 when I saw something that I cannot stop thinking about.

05:50 I saw a man that looked exactly like me.

05:53 We both made eye contact, dropped our jaws,

05:55 and stared for a long moment

05:57 before continuing walking the opposite way.

05:59 After a few steps, I turned around to find

06:01 that he turned around at that exact moment.

06:04 I was absolutely stunned.

06:06 Could this be my twin, my doppelganger?

06:09 What would you do in this situation?

06:11 Sincerely, Freaked Out Frank.

06:14 (gentle music)

06:15 - I'm fighting him.

06:16 - You wait, what the?

06:17 He didn't do nothing to you.

06:19 - Hey, hey, listen, hey, hey.

06:21 This doesn't make no sense.

06:22 I'm fighting--

06:23 - But it's not his fault.

06:24 - It's his fault.

06:25 I'm the real me.

06:26 - But he might be the real him.

06:27 - Nah, see, how Fontaine reacted,

06:29 we gotta put in work.

06:30 - The man was going to work or something.

06:33 Like, how you just gonna fight this man?

06:33 - Nah, you can't be looking exactly like me,

06:36 and then we look at each other at the same time?

06:38 - Maybe you look exactly like him.

06:39 - Oh, see, nah, that's why you gotta get rid of one.

06:41 (laughing)

06:42 You gotta get rid of one.

06:43 He's gonna be thinking the exact same thing.

06:45 You gotta get rid of one.

06:46 You gotta get active.

06:46 You not gonna--

06:47 - You just gonna fight.

06:48 You not gonna ask no questions.

06:49 - No questions needed.

06:50 I just need one me, and that's that.

06:52 Then it's done.

06:53 There's no need for no questions.

06:54 Problem solved, Frank.

06:55 - Okay, well.

06:57 (laughing)

06:58 (gentle music)

07:01 - Dear Tiana, something incredibly strange just occurred,

07:04 and I'm at a loss for words.

07:06 While driving on a quiet street,

07:07 I encountered a mother duck and her duckling

07:10 in the middle of the road.

07:12 Concerned for their safety,

07:13 I stopped my car and decided to assist them

07:16 in crossing quickly.

07:17 Aw.

07:18 However, when I stepped out of my car

07:20 and approached the front,

07:21 I discovered that the ducks had vanished without a trace.

07:25 It was as if they had disappeared into thin air.

07:29 I'm still gobsmacked by this bizarre occurrence.

07:32 Did I make it up?

07:33 Did they disappear?

07:34 What would you do?

07:35 Sincerely, Duck Darling 62.

07:38 Okay, now, darling.

07:41 Were you smoking a little something, something beforehand?

07:44 Because if that's what you do, that's cool,

07:46 but then you can't be writing us letters

07:48 talking about, "Oh, this stuff disappeared

07:50 "and it's ducks," and then it wasn't ducks.

07:52 - Right.

07:53 You on that sativa.

07:54 - Only you would know this.

07:55 And so I need you to really think about how your day went

08:00 and if that was the case,

08:01 because otherwise, if you like,

08:04 "No, no, I had just had some water.

08:06 "I was clear-headed."

08:08 - Girl or person?

08:11 (laughs)

08:13 - I don't know.

08:14 I think you need to drink more water

08:16 and get relaxed and then-

08:17 - Take some multivitamins.

08:18 - Multivitamins, yeah, yeah.

08:19 - And just be like on the lookout

08:21 for if things start disappearing again.

08:25 - And they might be under your car.

08:26 You know, they might've just-

08:27 - Ooh, I hope they weren't.

08:30 - Hey, listen.

08:31 - Dang, she was trying to help and then-

08:34 - Yeah, but you know, for safety though.

08:36 So just make sure you check, love.

08:37 Make sure you check.

08:38 - Yeah.

08:39 (laughs)

08:40 - Yeah, and make sure you don't take any of this advice

08:42 seriously.

08:43 - Please do not take it seriously.

08:44 - Go see a professional.

08:44 - Yeah, see a professional

08:45 and also make sure you go see "They Cloned Tyrone."

08:48 - July 21st, baby.

08:49 - On Netflix.
