-Vegans also some of the wildest people I know personally.
-Vegans be on some shit.
-My vegan friends will be the first one to offer me, like,
drugs they found in the bar bathroom
and be like, "You want to share?"
And it's like, "Absolutely not." Like, the fuck?
-Just so, like, young, wild, and free.

-Hey, what's going on? It's Trey.
Back for another "Questionnaire of Life."
Today we have singer, songwriter,
general artist, cool shirt-haver --
cool shirt, by the way -- Mariah the Scientist.
What's going on? -Nothing much.
Just excited to see what you're gonna ask me.
Don't know what to expect.
-That's the entire point of the show.
-I know. -We'll start off easy.
Which one of these is closest to a sandwich?
-An Oreo. -Why an Oreo?
-Just the anatomy.
I mean, I'm assuming the chocolate would be the buns.
-Yeah. -[ Chuckles ]
Oh, this is the funniest thing I've had to explain,
but, yeah, I guess the chocolate would be the buns
and the cream would be the meat.
This is...
[ Laughs ]
That's hilarious.
-Okay.
So this might be
the next-funniest thing you got to explain.
Would you rather fight...
-Well, I'm not fighting the Rock.
And I'm not getting stoned by fucking a hundred niggas.
Like, what the fuck?
-It's only 10 dudes, but they got a hundred rocks, yeah.
-Yeah, but still, like, stoned?
You know what that's like?
Have you ever read the Bible or heard about it?
Not doing that.
I'm gonna just -- I'm gonna have to climb.
I'm gonna have to climb my way out of that one.
[ Laughs ] That's just what it is.
-I would probably pick the 10 dudes throwing a hundred rocks.
-You would rather get stoned?
-I'm not saying -- yo, they don't have to hit you.
You can dodge them.
If you just, like, zigzag,
like, yeah, and, like, wait for them to run out of rocks.
-10 niggas and a hundred rocks. -Yeah.
-You think you ain't getting hit?
-Once or twice. I'll cover my head.
-Once or twice?! -Yeah.
"Ry Ry World" ends with a really good song called "Revenge."
-Thank you.
And what's the best type of revenge?
-I don't really like to get revenge myself,
not like direct revenge,
so I don't think I would say that.
The universe doesn't really play fair.
It's just kind of inconsistent.
I'm just gonna go with don't give a fuck anymore.
-Okay. I don't know, man.
Just refusing to acknowledge somebody exists anymore
hurts, like, people with really big egos sometimes.
-It's not revenge, though. It's not revenge.
Revenge is like taking action against another action.
-Okay.
-Like repercussion. -Alright.
What did you learn about yourself
between this project and "Master"
that kind of made "Ry Ry World" the album it became?
-I think "Master" is more about somebody else.
And then this new project is
just, like, more about myself, I think.
And I know it seems like I'm talking to somebody else,
but it's really just changing of the pronouns.
Realistically, I'm talking to myself.
Like, the majority of those songs, I'm talking to myself.
-Okay.
-I just think I learned that I was much more multifaceted,
cognitively, emotionally, than I thought I was before.
-Alright, which of these is most important
when putting together a project?
-Imagination. -How so?
-If you don't have imagination for it,
it's probably gonna be much less creative.
I mean, you could be inspired,
but it will probably be more like you copied something
than, you know, thinking it up on your own.
I mean, I just feel like that's the basis of everything.
Shout-out to Yoko Ono and her "Imagine" vision,
her narrative that she pushed on the world, that agenda --
I fuck with that.
And I think without that, we'd probably be nothing.
-Before music, you wanted to be an anesthesiologist.
-Pediatric anesthesiologist.
-Can you spell that word off the top of your head?
-I think so. [ Clears throat ]
Should I? -Yeah, let's see.
Why did I have to...? -Nice one.
So you recently tweeted,
"I recommend playing it safe almost always."
-Is that still up there? Or was that a tweet and delete?
-It wasn't deleted. I'll tell you that much.
But why do you feel that way?
-If you have two girlfriends and one of them is like,
you know, she's gonna --
like, you know you're gonna get off work
and she's gonna have a meal prepared,
she's a safe bet,
she comes home, she's not running the streets.
And then you have, like, this other girlfriend,
she's more fun, very lively, but she might be a thot,
she might have other niggas.
What you gonna do?
Me, personally, I'm taking the food,
the consistent sex with a safe partner.
Might be fun, but I'll play it safe
when it comes down to it, for sure.
-Well, this was fun.
-Definitely was fun. Very interesting.
Never been asked those questions.
-That's the whole point.
Mariah the Scientist. I'm Trey.
You'll see me next time. You won't see her.
See y'all later.
-Bye. Thank you.
I don't know, the Bible is, like, filled with drama.
Like, it's like really crazy as fuck.
If you read the Bible, it's like,
"Nigga, what the fuck is this?"
-Yeah, the whole Sodom and Gomorrah saga
is fucking crazy, man.
-Just all of it is, really.
-Yo, they threw this man, Daniel, into a whole lion's den.
