01:28all our friends started having children and we got very annoyed because they had a cancel
01:36engagement and there were always excuses so i said to mark we should get a baby that won't impede our lifestyle
01:45Yes.
01:46And when you're in 1990, now we spend endless amounts of money on him.
01:54Nothing is too good.
01:55You know how you spoil children.
01:57Especially these days.
01:58He has a Cartier watch and he has a-
02:02He has a Cartier watch in my garage!
02:04We used to go to the Circle lot when it was still open and they used to love him there
02:08because he would create buzz in the room.
02:10They always wanted us to bring Digby.
02:12You know, if we didn't bring Digby, they were disappointed.
02:15Shanghai.
02:16We had a tuxedo and a suit mate for him at the table to measure him.
02:19In fact, even at Ralph Lauren, they did that at the Polo store.
02:23He's a shiny baby.
02:24He is.
02:25He's shiny.
02:26He's oiled up.
02:27He's oiled up.
02:28I'm trying to get the shirt to show you the button that needs to be fixed.
02:31Why?
02:32When it comes to Digby, nothing is too good.
02:34He had a bar mitzvah when he was 13.
02:36A lot of people for that.
02:38On the 21st birthday, we took him to 21 Club.
02:41The last birthday this year, we took him to Tiffany's for breakfast.
02:45And he didn't have doughnuts and coffee like Audrey Hepburn.
02:50He had smoked salmon on a bagel.
02:5328.
02:54Mark's mother thinks that he ought to take his own apartment and move out.
02:58He's too old to live with us.
02:59Oh, that's an Instagram.
03:01Wow.
03:02How long have they had this baby?
03:04Oh, since like, uh...
03:05The 90s, I thought.
03:06Yeah, 1990.
03:07They've had this baby since 1990.
03:10This baby has a way better life than we do.
03:12We went to South America.
03:13We went to the Galapagos.
03:14We've done numerous safaris in Africa.
03:17He's been to the pyramids.
03:19We got him a little passport.
03:20Last winter we went to...
03:21They got him a passport and somehow got foreign customs people to stamp the fake baby's passport.
03:27You can't argue with Digby.
03:29It could be a fake.
03:30Well, no, but they have actual stamps in it from...
03:32Yeah, but I mean, it could be fake in...
03:34Australia, New Zealand, Bali, Antarctica.
03:38All seven continents.
03:39Yes.
03:40Yes.
03:41And when we go on trips to Asia, they love him there because they really all, you know,
03:47worship these inanimate objects and they really think he has powers.
03:51The kids are so entranced by him.
03:53Right.
03:54I'm running out of all the little huts and if you pick him up and you, you know,
03:57they all...
03:59Jesus.
04:00Holy Christ.
04:02Sometimes it's, it makes it quite fun.
04:05Yes.
04:06Oh, the music is great.
04:07I've got to tell you, Digby has been around the world.
04:10He's always, uh, surprises me with his sense of style, his elan, his je ne sais quoi.
04:16Oh, my God.
04:17They have suave nailed down.
04:19We didn't really have a concept as to how, we had no concept, how real he would be.
04:25Initially it looks very strange, but as you get to know us and be with us, it doesn't
04:31seem so in you.
04:32They always trust the same guys.
04:33They're just a normal New York family.
04:36They're just a normal New York family.
04:38Yeah, right.
04:39That's what they said there at the end.
04:40They're so rich.
04:41I tell ya, when we first started talking about this story, I didn't know what I was
04:45gonna feel about two dudes having a baby doll son.
04:48And, uh, by the end of it, they won me over.
04:53I like this.
04:54I support the hell out of this.
04:56You're all team Digby now?
04:57I'm all team Digby.
04:58I'm all team...
04:59Listen.
05:00Digby's dads.
05:03What do Digby's dads do?
05:06Because they're rolling in dough.
05:08Really?
05:09I wanna know.
05:10One of them was a retired teacher and a retired dentist.
05:13The dentist was the one who brought it home.
05:14The dentist made all that money?
05:15Yeah.
05:16Yeah, he's a New York dentist.
05:17New York dentist.
05:18All those teeth.
05:19Millions of teeth.
05:20They seem like they're super rich.
05:22Yeah.
05:23They seem like a fun group.
05:26Lisa was dying.
05:27Lisa.
05:28Lisa could not keep it together.
05:29Lisa was dying.
05:30Dying.
05:31During this.
05:32I love, like, the old man in the beginning coming through the grocery store.
05:35Mr. Christ is packed up a dude.
05:38I gotta head down here quick.
05:40Oh my goodness.
05:41Get a little few things here at Trader Joe's.
05:43What the hell is going on?
05:47The Dudley boys.
05:48Oh, those aren't the Dudley boys.
05:52Those are a couple gay boys.
05:56How you doing there?
05:58This is Digby.
06:00Digby.
06:01Who?
06:02Digby DuPont.
06:03It's a doll.
06:04Nope, it's our son.
06:05Jesus Christ.
06:06Look at these pants.
06:07Well.
06:08You're wearing shorts and it's cold.
06:11That was great.
06:14You wanna take a picture with Digby?
06:16Sure.
06:17Alright, hold him.
06:18Be gentle.
06:19Oh God.
06:20He's oily.
06:21Yeah, of course he's oily.
06:22Why?
06:23He's getting older.
06:24We gotta keep him.
06:25How old is this little bastard?
06:28He's 37 years old.
06:29Oh my God.
06:30He doesn't grow.
06:31Ah, cheese.
06:32Yep.
06:33Ah, thanks.
06:34Yeah, that old guy.
06:36Best of luck.
06:37Did not want to be a part of any of that scene though.
06:40And I get it.
06:41Imagine looking into a store and that's going on.
06:43What's happening?
06:44There's too gay guys.
06:45There's too gay guys.
06:46There's too gay guys in matching outfits.
06:48Dress the light.
06:49With a doll in the same outfit.
06:52And a camera.
06:53And like a camera.
06:54Like a cameraman probably.
06:56Yeah.
06:57So you're like, whoa.
06:59I think I'm in the wrong.
07:01Nope.
07:02No, I gotta get my shopping done too.
07:04Yep.
07:05He was.
07:06Grab a basket.
07:07Excuse me.
07:08He was.
07:09It was.
07:10It was jarring at first.
07:11Their pants and the whole scene.
07:13.
