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.
