Speaker 1: Hey, listeners, it's James Parker. Can you keep a secret?
Speaker 1: The next episode of Daughters of d C is up next,
Speaker 1: But first a quick word from our sponsor, Iron Horns
Speaker 1: Epic Productions. And I heard Radio present Daughters of d C.
Speaker 1: I get white. Tonight's important. It feels like the whole
Speaker 1: world tells Coal and boys like him that they're not valued,
Speaker 1: that they don't matter. But the batillion is our way
Speaker 1: of showing our belief in them, and it's Coal's opportunity
Speaker 1: to show what a leader he'll become. But I hate
Speaker 1: wearing big, poofy dresses that make me look like a
Speaker 1: frilly blue cupcake. Hate you look adorable. Kids are adorable,
Speaker 1: Dogs are adorable. You look beautiful. You have to say that. Oh,
Speaker 1: let me slick your baby hare for you. That's an
Speaker 1: old tooth fresh right. This isn't my first rodeo. J
Speaker 1: do the little curly que in the front. I like that.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you going tonight. Cole appreciates it, even if
Speaker 1: he's too dope or gucci or whatever to say that. Mom,
Speaker 1: that's so wrong. And I know now about Tanna Reid.
Speaker 1: I'm not thrilled about the situation either. But it's a game. Yes,
Speaker 1: and sometimes when you're trying to reach a particular checkpoint,
Speaker 1: you have to wade through somebody or to rain to
Speaker 1: beat your opponent. Tanners are freaking swamp. Hey you trust me, right?
Speaker 1: I guess? So all done? Oh you look perfect? Oh
Speaker 1: my baby is all grown up. You look just like
Speaker 1: your father. Thanks, Mom, you really do look like dad.
Speaker 1: Weird and you are adorable. Mom, I told you, I'm kidding.
Speaker 1: You look great. I can't believe you're an addressing heels. Heels.
Speaker 1: Never check this, yo, Chuck, that's fires. I know she
Speaker 1: wore me down on that one. Stand together you two. Wow,
Speaker 1: look at my family. I wish this night was just
Speaker 1: about my family. But if I do what Locksmith said
Speaker 1: and play this right, I might be able to get
Speaker 1: the dirt we need on Tanner. Or I might embarrass
Speaker 1: myself in front of the DC elite. No pressure. It's
Speaker 1: no secret that in Washington, d C. Corruption is everywhere.
Speaker 1: You could say it's gone viral. That's why my friends
Speaker 1: and I decided to take on the system from the inside.
Speaker 1: I'm James, I'm Peyton, I'm Celia, I'm Natalie, and we're
Speaker 1: the daughters of Zy well, good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 1: and welcome to the fiftieth Annual Bow Tillier. Tonight, we
Speaker 1: are celebrating the long haild tradition of ushering a new
Speaker 1: class of young black men into Washington, d C. Society.
Speaker 1: Congratulations to all the bows on your many accomplishments, and
Speaker 1: thank you to our gracious donors for their generous gifts.
Speaker 1: Up first, the procession of honorable guests James Renee Parker,
Speaker 1: daughter of the late Lieutenant Colonel J. Lewis Parker, and
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House Angela Parker, sister of one of
Speaker 1: tonight's bows, Coole Parker, escorted by Tanner Juel this Read,
Speaker 1: son of Fourth Circuit Court Judge Crawford Read, and this
Speaker 1: is I think you're supposed to hook your hand into
Speaker 1: my elbow pit your what? I don't know what's called?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I'd rather not like touch.
Speaker 1: I can't let you walk down there alone. Doesn't look
Speaker 1: very gentlemanly. Since when are you a gentleman? We just
Speaker 1: get this over with. I bet that's what all your
Speaker 1: dates ask you. What I wish I was sitting with
Speaker 1: Natalie and Celia. They seem happy Hey, they see me. Celia. Look,
Speaker 1: James is weaving at us. Go James. She looks lovely,
Speaker 1: and thank you for letting me be your date tonight. Natalie.
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm super bummed I didn't get to me
Speaker 1: make out Mackenzie. She'd find you very entertaining. What happened
Speaker 1: to your ticket? Did your parents ground you after the
Speaker 1: breaking footage leaked? I am not a child, Natalie. I
Speaker 1: cannot be grounded. That being said, yes, my parents suggested
Speaker 1: that I not attend the bottilion, and I simply rejected
Speaker 1: that suggestion. I wish my dad would give me an
Speaker 1: ounce of that independence. He doesn't have to give it
Speaker 1: to you, You just take it. If my parents want
Speaker 1: to put Tanna read above the freedom of their only child,
Speaker 1: I just have to put my foot down and say
Speaker 1: I'm in charge of my life. My dad's walking over.
Speaker 1: Try it out on him. M mmmm. That cautious off
Speaker 1: is just fantastic. I've got to ast the caterer for
Speaker 1: the recipe. Did your girls try some? Natalie silent dreaming,
Speaker 1: that's no. You know, it's strange being here, given the
Speaker 1: history of this event. Black and indigenous people of color
Speaker 1: deserve more spaces without the spectatorship exactly. I knew that
Speaker 1: would spark something. To be clear, I'm not here with you.
Speaker 1: We're simply sitting at a table that you happen to have.
Speaker 1: I am here to support my friends who have never
Speaker 1: lied to me because they think I am mature enough
Speaker 1: to handle whatever may come my way. Congressman Rosenberg, what
Speaker 1: happened to dad? I don't know what did happen to dad.
Speaker 1: Let's play the quiet game again, No, Congressman, I'm in
Speaker 1: charge of my life. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up
Speaker 1: for our guests. All. You all look wonderful tonight, and
Speaker 1: you might want to grab yourself a drink right down
Speaker 1: while you can. In just a moment, we will start
Speaker 1: the procession of the bowls. I'm not taking up on that, Peyton,
Speaker 1: viv you want anything, I'm fine, dear, thank you. Hey, Peyton, honeybutter,
Speaker 1: where's your charm bracelet? Um? I thought it was too
Speaker 1: m bulk for the occasion. I don't think it's bulky
Speaker 1: at all, Darling. I'm just going for a different look.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, actually I will take you up on that
Speaker 1: drink buck another rose, of course, be right back, Peyton, baby,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need you to dance with Tanner tonight. What
Speaker 1: your daddy hates when I interfere with his political strategy,
Speaker 1: But I know that the press seeing you and Tanner
Speaker 1: together is just what we but he needs. Mama, I
Speaker 1: don't want to. Well, of course you don't, I understand.
Speaker 1: And yet the Lord calls upon us women to make
Speaker 1: sacrifices for the sake of the family. Can't even look
Speaker 1: at him. You're a Blackburn Peyton, and Blackburn women are resilient.
Speaker 1: You are not gonna let him win, Darling. And now
Speaker 1: it is, gentlemen, that procession of the Boones introducing Vocal Parker,
Speaker 1: son of the late Lieutenant Colonel J. Lewis Parker, and
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House Angela Parker escorting Ms. Alison G. Miller,
Speaker 1: daughter of doctors Theo and Samantha Miller. Yeah. I don't
Speaker 1: think I've ever seen this many white people at a botillion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my mom's list of invites is definitely out of the
Speaker 1: ordinary this year. I guess it's good for the or
Speaker 1: modern Nations. Doesn't feel much like a family event, more
Speaker 1: like a political fundraiser. Do you think they know the
Speaker 1: electric Slide the only dance politicians know is the running
Speaker 1: man because they're always campaigning. Yeah, I get it. Hey,
Speaker 1: is that Sililu? Do you think she'll take a selfie
Speaker 1: with me? I'd get like a thousand new followers. Sure,
Speaker 1: I hook you up. Hey, tell you can take a
Speaker 1: pick with Allison. She wants to boost her instant always
Speaker 1: love to support my fans. Oh my god, Celia, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, what I'm in the middle. It's your parents. Crap. Hey,
Speaker 1: d O DC fans stay tuned. More Daughters of d
Speaker 1: C is up next, but first a quick word from
Speaker 1: our sponsor. What's up? Daughters of DC fans head to
Speaker 1: Daughters of DC dot com to get exclusive d O
Speaker 1: DC news updates and content before everybody else. Hello, Mr
Speaker 1: and Mrs Lou What a surprise. Hello, Natalie, is your
Speaker 1: father here as well? He's on the search for more Cevici, Celia,
Speaker 1: Hello mother, father w McQueen. Dress looks good on you.
Speaker 1: Excellent choice. We'll be at our table just over there.
Speaker 1: Your parents are so chill to chill, way too chill.
Speaker 1: I feel sorry for Celia, I really do. But over
Speaker 1: at the Parker table, I've been trapped in the tensest
Speaker 1: twenty minutes of my life turns out. I do know
Speaker 1: my mom made me go with Hannah to the bottillion
Speaker 1: to torture me. Thank you for accepting my son's hand.
Speaker 1: As your eyes go tonight. He's not much of a dancer,
Speaker 1: but he knows how to get a lady down a
Speaker 1: set of dance. Did you all manage to get a
Speaker 1: photo together? She didn't mention a photo for what. I
Speaker 1: will make sure they get one. With a big smile,
Speaker 1: write you too, of course they will, James, I know
Speaker 1: your father would be proud of you. What a loss? Truly?
Speaker 1: Leaning on pretty thick dance? Was that talking to you? Tanna?
Speaker 1: Looks like there's a photographer ready. I'll write you too.
Speaker 1: Smile yeah, smile away. You can't, Tanner. I'll exuppose the
Speaker 1: truth someday. What truth that you couldn't find a real
Speaker 1: date tonight? I have access to information. I could tell
Speaker 1: everyone what I know. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: The girl last year, the incident report. You don't know anything.
Speaker 1: Just give me a name and I'll keep the rest quiet.
Speaker 1: Nice try now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to
Speaker 1: go dance. Peyton doesn't look busy, don't you dare you
Speaker 1: got your photo up read I've held up my end
Speaker 1: of the bargain. Sorry speaker here, I was thinking we
Speaker 1: were just two old friends coming together across party lines.
Speaker 1: That could be so naive. You have other friends across
Speaker 1: party lines, across economic lines, across state and country lines,
Speaker 1: very powerful friends. Well it pays to be personable. Perhaps
Speaker 1: I'm in need of a friend myself. By the looks
Speaker 1: of your invited guests, i'd say you and I have
Speaker 1: friends in common, anyone in particular. Well if you don't, oh,
Speaker 1: you don't know ladies and gentlemen, les hey for all
Speaker 1: of those, what fine, young gentleman. All right, people, it's
Speaker 1: time to potto. Everyone on the dance floor. Pardon me,
Speaker 1: senator and Mrs Blackburn Peyton, would you like to dance?
Speaker 1: You can do it? Sure, keep your hands where I
Speaker 1: can see them. Yes, Sir Tanner, Sorry, James Tanner is
Speaker 1: about to dance with pat But excuse me, I don't
Speaker 1: mean to interrupt. Would you like to dance with me?
Speaker 1: James Adrian from Trick dance with me? Are you sure
Speaker 1: you don't want to dance with literally anyone else? That
Speaker 1: was a lot of questions, But yeah, come on. Let's
Speaker 1: find a spot. You look really pretty tonight. I look
Speaker 1: like a cupcake. You're beautiful. Thanks. I'm a little nervous.
Speaker 1: You're nervous around me? Why I think a storm is brewing?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Oh my god. I know I should
Speaker 1: be looking out for Peyton right now? But could this
Speaker 1: mean what I think it means? I love this song.
Speaker 1: I want to dance, not right now, Natalie, what's up
Speaker 1: with you? Do you think Mackenzie would get jealous? I
Speaker 1: can't believe how nonchalant my parents were about me being here.
Speaker 1: I thought you said that they couldn't ground you. You're
Speaker 1: in control, I am. Then they were so calm, we
Speaker 1: weren't upset at all. They were cool with it. No,
Speaker 1: then they're quiet, especially my mom. It is not good.
Speaker 1: So all of that talk about being the one in
Speaker 1: charge that was all fake. No, it wasn't. But the
Speaker 1: Celia I know isn't afraid of anyone or anything that
Speaker 1: doesn't include my parents. You know what will make you
Speaker 1: feel better? What? Dancing? You're so extra fine? Whoa Peyton's
Speaker 1: dancing with Tanner? Let's go over there? Are you sure
Speaker 1: we should? Now? I know you're scared. The Celia I
Speaker 1: know would never back down from a fight. God, you're
Speaker 1: so tense. I can barely lead. Maybe we shouldn't be dancing,
Speaker 1: you agreed, I'm only doing this for my family. You're
Speaker 1: here because you want to be Is that what you
Speaker 1: told the other girls? Are you in on this with
Speaker 1: James Parker? What's your end game? I can't be the
Speaker 1: only one. And what about you? What about me? What
Speaker 1: about all the guys you parayed in front of me?
Speaker 1: I've seen you hanging around coal my teammates. Really, that
Speaker 1: is none of your business. Everything is my business. You're
Speaker 1: a predatory, Well you're a dirty slot m hi. I
Speaker 1: would like to um uh tell a lot, I mean,
Speaker 1: make the toast excuse me. I can't just take I
Speaker 1: realized that it is a privilege for me to even
Speaker 1: be here, So I would like to use this time
Speaker 1: to say, um, it takes courage to be a leader,
Speaker 1: like the Bows are leading, because leaders lead, and when
Speaker 1: you lead, people like to like check up on the
Speaker 1: stuff you're doing, you know, and some people have done
Speaker 1: some really bass up, so like they shouldn't really be leaders.
Speaker 1: Not the Bows, of course. I mean it's like you
Speaker 1: guys are good guys, which is hard to be in
Speaker 1: this world because of toxic masculinity, which you do not have.
Speaker 1: So Bravo goes, that's just yeah, rad and like it
Speaker 1: just proves I'm so sorry, but puss off for the balls.
Speaker 1: Thank you, random girl. All that class has been cleaned up.
Speaker 1: Let's keep this party gone. On the dance floor, that
Speaker 1: was interesting, Natalie is always interesting. Don't change the subject,
Speaker 1: Adrian your Onyx. I've been trying to figure out how
Speaker 1: to tell you why here? Why now? Because I asked
Speaker 1: you to dance and you said yes instead of literally
Speaker 1: running away from me at Celia's party? Do you remember that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: But you know everything about me and I know nothing
Speaker 1: about you. Of course you know me more than anyone here.
Speaker 1: I was a nerd in jock's clothing looking for easy
Speaker 1: and then I met you. And why did you release
Speaker 1: the footage of the school break in? I didn't, but
Speaker 1: you guys pulled off? Was dope a lotsmith though he
Speaker 1: already got you in trouble once. Yeah, maybe I still
Speaker 1: can't believe that I'm dancing with you in person? Storm
Speaker 1: and Onyx, I don't know do you call that dancing? Oh? What?
Speaker 1: You don't like my moves? I like that you're rhythmically
Speaker 1: challenge It's endearing. Okay, okay, I have been known to
Speaker 1: clap on the one in three cabins. Hold that thought,
Speaker 1: ONYX ladies room, need some girl time, me too, See
Speaker 1: you in a second. I'm there, be right back. Where
Speaker 1: do you think you're going? Young lady? Do I have
Speaker 1: to ask permission to use the bathroom? What you just pulled?
Speaker 1: Keep my friend from harm and embarrassed your fault. I'll
Speaker 1: treat embarrassment for integrity any day. Can you say the same? Natalie? Wait?
Speaker 1: Oh boy, glad, I caught you harry your daughter put
Speaker 1: on quite a show. I'm not in the mood, crofter,
Speaker 1: all you've done for her, putting your reputation on the line.
Speaker 1: What do you imply the things we do for our children,
Speaker 1: whether they deserve them or not. She should what yelled
Speaker 1: degrading expletives in public? Is it lonely up there on
Speaker 1: that high haul buss off Crawford. I have a feeling
Speaker 1: it's not as hop as it used to be. I
Speaker 1: bet you're just as low as the rest of us,
Speaker 1: and you're the lowest. Some folks are even lower. It's
Speaker 1: helpful to have them on your side. What are you
Speaker 1: son of Oh my god, Peyton, are you okay? I'm fine.
Speaker 1: I just he can get away with anything. He can
Speaker 1: scream at me in public, and there are no consequences
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for Natalie. I'm so sorry, Peyton. It's
Speaker 1: not even about me at this point. The dance was
Speaker 1: about my dad's career. Tanner said an awful word to
Speaker 1: defend his ego. Sometimes I just feel like a prop
Speaker 1: in these men's lives. It's not fair. This whole night
Speaker 1: has been weird. Yeah, definitely, and it's not even halfway over.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, No, I cannot believe this. This system
Speaker 1: is so screwed up under my parents. I've heard yet.
Speaker 1: Oh there you are, James Mom. I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear it right now. It's almost time. Check your phone.
