Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, listeners, it's James Parker. Can you keep a secret?
The next episode of Daughters of d C is up next,
But first a quick word from our sponsor, Iron Horns
Epic Productions. And I heard Radio present Daughters of d C.
I get white. Tonight's important. It feels like the whole

(00:21):
world tells Coal and boys like him that they're not valued,
that they don't matter. But the batillion is our way
of showing our belief in them, and it's Coal's opportunity
to show what a leader he'll become. But I hate
wearing big, poofy dresses that make me look like a
frilly blue cupcake. Hate you look adorable. Kids are adorable,

(00:51):
Dogs are adorable. You look beautiful. You have to say that. Oh,
let me slick your baby hare for you. That's an
old tooth fresh right. This isn't my first rodeo. J
do the little curly que in the front. I like that.
I appreciate you going tonight. Cole appreciates it, even if

(01:15):
he's too dope or gucci or whatever to say that. Mom,
that's so wrong. And I know now about Tanna Reid.
I'm not thrilled about the situation either. But it's a game. Yes,
and sometimes when you're trying to reach a particular checkpoint,
you have to wade through somebody or to rain to

(01:36):
beat your opponent. Tanners are freaking swamp. Hey you trust me, right?
I guess? So all done? Oh you look perfect? Oh
my baby is all grown up. You look just like

(01:58):
your father. Thanks, Mom, you really do look like dad.
Weird and you are adorable. Mom, I told you, I'm kidding.
You look great. I can't believe you're an addressing heels. Heels.
Never check this, yo, Chuck, that's fires. I know she

(02:19):
wore me down on that one. Stand together you two. Wow,
look at my family. I wish this night was just
about my family. But if I do what Locksmith said
and play this right, I might be able to get
the dirt we need on Tanner. Or I might embarrass

(02:40):
myself in front of the DC elite. No pressure. It's
no secret that in Washington, d C. Corruption is everywhere.
You could say it's gone viral. That's why my friends
and I decided to take on the system from the inside.

(03:02):
I'm James, I'm Peyton, I'm Celia, I'm Natalie, and we're
the daughters of Zy well, good evening, ladies and gentlemen,
and welcome to the fiftieth Annual Bow Tillier. Tonight, we
are celebrating the long haild tradition of ushering a new

(03:26):
class of young black men into Washington, d C. Society.
Congratulations to all the bows on your many accomplishments, and
thank you to our gracious donors for their generous gifts.
Up first, the procession of honorable guests James Renee Parker,

(03:48):
daughter of the late Lieutenant Colonel J. Lewis Parker, and
Speaker of the House Angela Parker, sister of one of
tonight's bows, Coole Parker, escorted by Tanner Juel this Read,
son of Fourth Circuit Court Judge Crawford Read, and this
is I think you're supposed to hook your hand into

(04:11):
my elbow pit your what? I don't know what's called?
You know what I mean? I'd rather not like touch.
I can't let you walk down there alone. Doesn't look
very gentlemanly. Since when are you a gentleman? We just
get this over with. I bet that's what all your
dates ask you. What I wish I was sitting with
Natalie and Celia. They seem happy Hey, they see me. Celia. Look,

(04:37):
James is weaving at us. Go James. She looks lovely,
and thank you for letting me be your date tonight. Natalie.
Of course, I'm super bummed I didn't get to me
make out Mackenzie. She'd find you very entertaining. What happened
to your ticket? Did your parents ground you after the
breaking footage leaked? I am not a child, Natalie. I

(04:58):
cannot be grounded. That being said, yes, my parents suggested
that I not attend the bottilion, and I simply rejected
that suggestion. I wish my dad would give me an
ounce of that independence. He doesn't have to give it
to you, You just take it. If my parents want
to put Tanna read above the freedom of their only child,

(05:19):
I just have to put my foot down and say
I'm in charge of my life. My dad's walking over.
Try it out on him. M mmmm. That cautious off
is just fantastic. I've got to ast the caterer for
the recipe. Did your girls try some? Natalie silent dreaming,

(05:41):
that's no. You know, it's strange being here, given the
history of this event. Black and indigenous people of color
deserve more spaces without the spectatorship exactly. I knew that
would spark something. To be clear, I'm not here with you.

(06:02):
We're simply sitting at a table that you happen to have.
I am here to support my friends who have never
lied to me because they think I am mature enough
to handle whatever may come my way. Congressman Rosenberg, what
happened to dad? I don't know what did happen to dad.
Let's play the quiet game again, No, Congressman, I'm in
charge of my life. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up

(06:25):
for our guests. All. You all look wonderful tonight, and
you might want to grab yourself a drink right down
while you can. In just a moment, we will start
the procession of the bowls. I'm not taking up on that, Peyton,

(06:48):
viv you want anything, I'm fine, dear, thank you. Hey, Peyton, honeybutter,
where's your charm bracelet? Um? I thought it was too
m bulk for the occasion. I don't think it's bulky
at all, Darling. I'm just going for a different look.
Oh okay, actually I will take you up on that

(07:12):
drink buck another rose, of course, be right back, Peyton, baby,
I'm gonna need you to dance with Tanner tonight. What
your daddy hates when I interfere with his political strategy,
But I know that the press seeing you and Tanner
together is just what we but he needs. Mama, I

(07:35):
don't want to. Well, of course you don't, I understand.
And yet the Lord calls upon us women to make
sacrifices for the sake of the family. Can't even look
at him. You're a Blackburn Peyton, and Blackburn women are resilient.
You are not gonna let him win, Darling. And now

(07:57):
it is, gentlemen, that procession of the Boones introducing Vocal Parker,
son of the late Lieutenant Colonel J. Lewis Parker, and
Speaker of the House Angela Parker escorting Ms. Alison G. Miller,
daughter of doctors Theo and Samantha Miller. Yeah. I don't

(08:24):
think I've ever seen this many white people at a botillion. Yeah,
my mom's list of invites is definitely out of the
ordinary this year. I guess it's good for the or
modern Nations. Doesn't feel much like a family event, more
like a political fundraiser. Do you think they know the
electric Slide the only dance politicians know is the running
man because they're always campaigning. Yeah, I get it. Hey,

(08:50):
is that Sililu? Do you think she'll take a selfie
with me? I'd get like a thousand new followers. Sure,
I hook you up. Hey, tell you can take a
pick with Allison. She wants to boost her instant always
love to support my fans. Oh my god, Celia, Oh
my god, what I'm in the middle. It's your parents. Crap. Hey,

(09:15):
d O DC fans stay tuned. More Daughters of d
C is up next, but first a quick word from
our sponsor. What's up? Daughters of DC fans head to
Daughters of DC dot com to get exclusive d O
DC news updates and content before everybody else. Hello, Mr

(09:40):
and Mrs Lou What a surprise. Hello, Natalie, is your
father here as well? He's on the search for more Cevici, Celia,
Hello mother, father w McQueen. Dress looks good on you.
Excellent choice. We'll be at our table just over there.
Your parents are so chill to chill, way too chill.

(10:02):
I feel sorry for Celia, I really do. But over
at the Parker table, I've been trapped in the tensest
twenty minutes of my life turns out. I do know
my mom made me go with Hannah to the bottillion
to torture me. Thank you for accepting my son's hand.
As your eyes go tonight. He's not much of a dancer,

(10:24):
but he knows how to get a lady down a
set of dance. Did you all manage to get a
photo together? She didn't mention a photo for what. I
will make sure they get one. With a big smile,
write you too, of course they will, James, I know
your father would be proud of you. What a loss? Truly?
Leaning on pretty thick dance? Was that talking to you? Tanna?

(10:48):
Looks like there's a photographer ready. I'll write you too.
Smile yeah, smile away. You can't, Tanner. I'll exuppose the
truth someday. What truth that you couldn't find a real
date tonight? I have access to information. I could tell
everyone what I know. I don't know what you're talking about.
The girl last year, the incident report. You don't know anything.

(11:11):
Just give me a name and I'll keep the rest quiet.
Nice try now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to
go dance. Peyton doesn't look busy, don't you dare you
got your photo up read I've held up my end
of the bargain. Sorry speaker here, I was thinking we

(11:31):
were just two old friends coming together across party lines.
That could be so naive. You have other friends across
party lines, across economic lines, across state and country lines,
very powerful friends. Well it pays to be personable. Perhaps
I'm in need of a friend myself. By the looks
of your invited guests, i'd say you and I have

(11:54):
friends in common, anyone in particular. Well if you don't, oh,
you don't know ladies and gentlemen, les hey for all
of those, what fine, young gentleman. All right, people, it's
time to potto. Everyone on the dance floor. Pardon me,

(12:16):
senator and Mrs Blackburn Peyton, would you like to dance?
You can do it? Sure, keep your hands where I
can see them. Yes, Sir Tanner, Sorry, James Tanner is
about to dance with pat But excuse me, I don't
mean to interrupt. Would you like to dance with me?
James Adrian from Trick dance with me? Are you sure

(12:41):
you don't want to dance with literally anyone else? That
was a lot of questions, But yeah, come on. Let's
find a spot. You look really pretty tonight. I look
like a cupcake. You're beautiful. Thanks. I'm a little nervous.

(13:05):
You're nervous around me? Why I think a storm is brewing?
Oh my god, Oh my god. I know I should
be looking out for Peyton right now? But could this
mean what I think it means? I love this song.

(13:29):
I want to dance, not right now, Natalie, what's up
with you? Do you think Mackenzie would get jealous? I
can't believe how nonchalant my parents were about me being here.
I thought you said that they couldn't ground you. You're
in control, I am. Then they were so calm, we
weren't upset at all. They were cool with it. No,

(13:49):
then they're quiet, especially my mom. It is not good.
So all of that talk about being the one in
charge that was all fake. No, it wasn't. But the
Celia I know isn't afraid of anyone or anything that
doesn't include my parents. You know what will make you

(14:10):
feel better? What? Dancing? You're so extra fine? Whoa Peyton's
dancing with Tanner? Let's go over there? Are you sure
we should? Now? I know you're scared. The Celia I
know would never back down from a fight. God, you're
so tense. I can barely lead. Maybe we shouldn't be dancing,

(14:33):
you agreed, I'm only doing this for my family. You're
here because you want to be Is that what you
told the other girls? Are you in on this with
James Parker? What's your end game? I can't be the
only one. And what about you? What about me? What
about all the guys you parayed in front of me?
I've seen you hanging around coal my teammates. Really, that

(14:54):
is none of your business. Everything is my business. You're
a predatory, Well you're a dirty slot m hi. I
would like to um uh tell a lot, I mean,
make the toast excuse me. I can't just take I

(15:17):
realized that it is a privilege for me to even
be here, So I would like to use this time
to say, um, it takes courage to be a leader,
like the Bows are leading, because leaders lead, and when
you lead, people like to like check up on the
stuff you're doing, you know, and some people have done

(15:40):
some really bass up, so like they shouldn't really be leaders.
Not the Bows, of course. I mean it's like you
guys are good guys, which is hard to be in
this world because of toxic masculinity, which you do not have.
So Bravo goes, that's just yeah, rad and like it

(16:06):
just proves I'm so sorry, but puss off for the balls.
Thank you, random girl. All that class has been cleaned up.
Let's keep this party gone. On the dance floor, that
was interesting, Natalie is always interesting. Don't change the subject,

(16:31):
Adrian your Onyx. I've been trying to figure out how
to tell you why here? Why now? Because I asked
you to dance and you said yes instead of literally
running away from me at Celia's party? Do you remember that? Yeah?
But you know everything about me and I know nothing

(16:51):
about you. Of course you know me more than anyone here.
I was a nerd in jock's clothing looking for easy
and then I met you. And why did you release
the footage of the school break in? I didn't, but
you guys pulled off? Was dope a lotsmith though he

(17:12):
already got you in trouble once. Yeah, maybe I still
can't believe that I'm dancing with you in person? Storm
and Onyx, I don't know do you call that dancing? Oh? What?
You don't like my moves? I like that you're rhythmically
challenge It's endearing. Okay, okay, I have been known to

(17:35):
clap on the one in three cabins. Hold that thought,
ONYX ladies room, need some girl time, me too, See
you in a second. I'm there, be right back. Where
do you think you're going? Young lady? Do I have
to ask permission to use the bathroom? What you just pulled?

(17:57):
Keep my friend from harm and embarrassed your fault. I'll
treat embarrassment for integrity any day. Can you say the same? Natalie? Wait?
Oh boy, glad, I caught you harry your daughter put
on quite a show. I'm not in the mood, crofter,
all you've done for her, putting your reputation on the line.

(18:17):
What do you imply the things we do for our children,
whether they deserve them or not. She should what yelled
degrading expletives in public? Is it lonely up there on
that high haul buss off Crawford. I have a feeling
it's not as hop as it used to be. I
bet you're just as low as the rest of us,
and you're the lowest. Some folks are even lower. It's

(18:42):
helpful to have them on your side. What are you
son of Oh my god, Peyton, are you okay? I'm fine.
I just he can get away with anything. He can
scream at me in public, and there are no consequences

(19:04):
if it wasn't for Natalie. I'm so sorry, Peyton. It's
not even about me at this point. The dance was
about my dad's career. Tanner said an awful word to
defend his ego. Sometimes I just feel like a prop
in these men's lives. It's not fair. This whole night
has been weird. Yeah, definitely, and it's not even halfway over.

(19:28):
Oh my god, No, I cannot believe this. This system
is so screwed up under my parents. I've heard yet.
Oh there you are, James Mom. I don't want to
hear it right now. It's almost time. Check your phone.
