for at least Puerto Ricans and Dominicans it's an acceptable way of addressing a man; that's likely the case in other spanish-speaking cultures as well.

1st, i'm used to hearing "papi" is the context of talking to a latina i want sexytime with. that may be unique to me, and there's nothing inherently wrong with sexytiming a bunch of dudes listening to your podcast, but i dont think that's what he's going for.
2nd, it translates as "daddy" in a lot of contexts, which is weird all by itself, also weird in the context above.
3rd, "papi" isn't isn't a synonym for "man" or "friend" in everyday usage. a spanish speaking person is never going to say "there's 5 'papis' and 10 women here now, and 2 'papis' are on their way."
to add a bit of usefulness to the undiluted haterade of this post, the word he's looking for is "caballero", which formally translates as "cowboy" or "gentleman", but in everyday parlance means "homie".

i agree with this, with one caveat (i don't know if he still does this; it was a constant when he first started): "now let's talk about...wait you probably don't want to mention that...nevermind...*knowing laugh"....so ANYWAY hahah what's your favorite food hahah" is so tilting. starting a question you then decide mid-question should neither be asked nor answered is such a facemelter for an interviewer.
