Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Speaker A: Foreign.
[00:00:09] Speaker B: Hello. Hello. Welcome back to the Dish with Tish. Where the bikinis are tiny, the drama's oversized, and the only thing more chaotic than Casa Amore is the group chat during a recoupling before we dish.
We all know the world is tough right now, and you're not imagining it, and that's why I'm so glad you're here. This little podcast island, no bombshells, no blind sides, just good vibes and hotter takes than a confession at a fire pit.
So let's pause on reality, take a deep dive into a different kind of reality. The one with sexy singles, savage edits, and voiceovers that deserve an Emmy.
We're talking Love island, baby. So let's crack on, and I'm here with my editor, my fellow Love island guru slash bestie, Ms.
Megan. Full on.
You all right, babes?
[00:01:16] Speaker A: Oh, you know, I'm doing all right, babes. How you doing?
[00:01:18] Speaker B: I'm doing all right. I'm doing all good.
[00:01:21] Speaker A: You know what? I'm really buzzing, mate. I'm really buzzing.
[00:01:25] Speaker B: I am busted so much. I am so excited a just to be like, we've kind of been holding back on our Love island thoughts because we knew we were gonna do this podcast. So I'm really excited to, like, hear what you have to say. Your hot takes on what we've seen so far in the villa.
[00:01:49] Speaker A: No, for real. You were even texting me before we started this. You were like, I can't believe Amaya did this. I. I was, like, trying not to respond. We got a hold.
We got a hold.
[00:01:59] Speaker B: I know.
[00:02:00] Speaker A: Too juicy. It's too good. I know some of the girlies online are like, this isn't up to par with last season. And it's like, bitch, wait. This is how it is at the beginning of every season.
[00:02:10] Speaker B: And, you know, I was just gonna say for the audience and viewers, if you're trying Love island from the jump for the first time, it eventually does have that switch. And, you know, like, the first week or two, you're really trying to figure out people's temperaments, who's vibing with who, the dynamics of the couples and the peoples as individuals.
And that's kind of like the beauty of the show. And it's also interesting if you think about Love Island. Even last season, it really didn't pop off like that until episode nine with that recoupling with Rob and Andrea, and. And that's when everyone went back and caught up, and they were like, oh, this is t. So it's interesting. The people that are like, I'm not there yet. I'm like, just give it time. It's early, babes. It's early days, babes.
[00:03:05] Speaker A: It's early days, babe. And, like, even thinking about last season, everyone low key, kind of hated Leah in the beginning. They were like, she's crazy town. And then when Rob started pulling his Rob shit, everyone, like you said, the flip happened or the switch flipped or whatever. And, like, Now Leah is 4 million followers deep.
[00:03:27] Speaker B: Like, right? And I'll admit, I was one of those people.
[00:03:30] Speaker A: Me too. We were talking. We were. That was the group chat. Was group chatting with Leah.
[00:03:35] Speaker B: Yeah. I was not a fan. And then Miguel, her bombshell, came in, and it was like, oh, okay. She just needed love. She just needed her person.
So just give it some time, you guys. It's. It's going to. It's already. I mean, what a perfect night for us to start.
Oh, my God. But before we get into what's going down, I kind of want to go over the cast really quick and get some initial thoughts from you and hear how you're feeling about people.
[00:04:08] Speaker A: The thoughts. I've got them, babe.
[00:04:11] Speaker B: I know you do, honey.
And for those of you who can't see, Megan's got her Love island water bottle, which I gifted her for her birthday.
[00:04:21] Speaker A: Except unfortunately, the name, like, it's. If you can't see, it's the white water bottle that they're all sucking on all day long in the sun, next to the pool.
And they all have their names on it. Tisha got my name put on it and everything. Unfortunately, the dishwasher did its thing and rip. But.
[00:04:39] Speaker B: But it still looks like you. I would know that. That's a Love island water bottle. That's a very specific.
[00:04:45] Speaker A: So maybe I'll just be sucking on this water bottle the whole episode.
[00:04:49] Speaker B: No, you literally should. And I love, like, okay, maybe that's sick.
What are you sucking?
And I'm dressed like a bombshell. I dress. The category was A bombshell has entered the villa.
And.
[00:05:09] Speaker A: And you did it.
[00:05:11] Speaker B: I understood the assignment.
[00:05:13] Speaker A: Yes, you did.
[00:05:14] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:05:15] Speaker A: Little Y2K glasses. Okay. Yeah. Okay.
[00:05:18] Speaker B: Okay. I have to have you on because, A, you're my bestie editor.
Right. Hand in the dish with Tish. But also, you're on my level when it comes to Love island, and I want to know. I know we started. We literally started watching season two of the UK together.
[00:05:40] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:05:40] Speaker B: But why do you love Love Island?
[00:05:46] Speaker A: Oh, I love this question. Because I always tell people without any prompt, why I love Love Island. Like, people will be Like, I love the friendships that come from it. Yes. I love. If someone finds love, that's great. If they win, they split the money. Like, whatever. It's. It's a. It could be a beautiful love story that I love.
I love the connection that people have. I love setting your phone down for six to eight weeks and just being completely present. Especially, like, I loved it when we were watching and it was still people in our generation, but we're not so glued to our phones the way some of these younger generations are. And I love that they have the opportunity even now to just disconnect and just be with each other.
The relationships, the. The, like, platonic relationships, by the end, when they're all jumping and hugging each other at, like, sweet, kind of like actually not very monumental moments, but they're all just so happy for each other for anything. Like, I just love. It just warms my heart the way people fall in love with each other platonically on this show. I just love it.
[00:06:58] Speaker B: Yeah, I. I love that. That's so sweet.
[00:07:01] Speaker A: What about you?
[00:07:02] Speaker B: Why do I love this show? I love this show because as a pop culture girly, I love a monoculture moment and I love appointment viewing and, you know, I love having something to watch five nights a week, you know, And I think besides that, I think one of the reasons that I fallen so deeply in love with this show is because it brings me back to, like, the gory, golden days of reality love dating competition shows, like the VH1 days of, like, Flavor of Love.
I love New York Rock of Love. Like, those were my everything. Talk about appointment viewing. Like, when VH1 was in its bag, it had me in such a chokehold.
And this feels like that. It's such a similar feeling that I. It, like, almost feels like I'm going back to that time and having it five next week. I'm like, holy. I love reality love competition shows. I don't know. It's just. And I really do, obviously, I love the platonic relationships and the bar that this show has said. I mean, if you read my substack article, you would note, like, it's so crazy because it is like, you know, they're no phones, they're sleeping together, they're doing. They're literally playing house for six to eight weeks. So you really get to see the progression of these relationships. So when they make it so far and get married and have kids, you're. You feel like you know them because, like, you've been there from the jump.
[00:08:54] Speaker A: Right? Right. You're like, I'm. I like. I feel like I'm, like, sitting there, like, laughing with them, like, like, that's so funny you said that.
[00:09:02] Speaker B: I know. It just feels so intimate, and I really like that.
[00:09:06] Speaker A: Agreed, Agreed.
[00:09:08] Speaker B: Okay, so let's get into some of the cast.
So shelly. Shelly is 27, from Florida. And me personally, I think she's already my favorite.
I agree. Yeah. I think she is very mature and well spoken and bisexual. We love a bisexual queen.
And, yeah, she's made a big point of letting us know that and who she is. So what do you think of Shelly so far?
[00:09:35] Speaker A: Yeah, I totally agree. I totally agree. And I mean, we'll get into it later when we discuss the men, but, like, everyone online is like, save Shelly. Save her from that awful man.
Yes.
I love Shelly. I think that. I totally agree. She is just like that girl. She's just that friend who listens to everything you have to say and then responds, you know, like, she will always, like, hear you out and provide her very, like, upfront opinion that she knows is probably helping you in the long run for sure.
[00:10:14] Speaker B: And I think it's because she is a little older, being, like 20. 20 what? 27. So she just has that emotional maturity. And so far, I'm just obsessed with her. I love how forward she is.
She. She's being. She's go. She's playing the game, but not in a nasty way.
[00:10:35] Speaker A: And she's taking her time. Like, she's like, I'm just feeling my shit out. She could have come into the villa knowing Ace beforehand, whatever, meeting him outside that bar or whatever in New York. She could have been like, I know this man. I want to be with this man. She was like, I know this man. Let's see if I want to be with this. Like, let's give it time. And if we come together, we come together.
[00:10:56] Speaker B: Right?
[00:10:56] Speaker A: And I love that. That's. I feel like she's doing Love island the way you're supposed to do Love Island.
[00:11:02] Speaker B: A thousand percent. A thousand percent. Okay, so then we have Huda.
Huda's 24, she's a mother, and she's basically already in a relationship within, like, two days of being there. They seem very intent on being closed off and coupled up right off the bat. And that doesn't really feel typical, and it kind of scares me a little bit. We'll get into that. But I will say with Huda, I guess we could get to that later. Get to all of the stuff we're just doing. Initial thoughts. So I'll save That one. We'll circle back to that.
What do you think of Huda?
Sorry, I'm getting so excited.
[00:11:49] Speaker A: No, like, no, because that's literally like her. Like, she is just all over the place. And also not all. Like, she is confusing and complicated and I, it makes sense that you're like, like, how do I even sum up my thoughts? I. I feel like, I feel like she's getting too much heat online.
But I also understand the frustration with her. I don't know. My initial thoughts are. I think I. I think I would really love her in the long run, but I, I'm just conflicted. I don't know.
[00:12:27] Speaker B: I feel like she's deeply insecure and I think the fact that she's the mother on the show, she almost feels like she's not as deserving or like she is not going to be loved the same because she has a child. And I'm like, baby girl, that's not the case. Like, you are literally so fucking gorgeous.
Like, you are literally drop dead gorgeous. Your eyebrows, I would literally, I would, I would murder. Like, I would murder someone for her fucking eyebrows.
[00:13:00] Speaker A: No, like, I would, I would take her eyebrows off of her body. Like, I would saw them off of her body.
[00:13:05] Speaker B: Absolutely. If it's a purge happening, I'm coming for your eyebrows, Huda, period. And it just makes me sad that she's just like putting so much on the man instead of like knowing her worth, you know?
[00:13:19] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. And it's like she says things that in the grand scheme of things would be that, like she would, like, she's saying all the right things, but you can see it's not internalized. It's. It's all kind of.
What's the word? Yeah, yeah.
[00:13:38] Speaker B: Very. That.
And then we have Alandria, who's 27 from Alabama and she's a elevator sales rep. I don't even know like what the fuck that is. It's giving. Like on Modern Family, how Pritchett's closets. It's like, I guess that's the thing.
Okay.
But I really like her a lot. I think she stands. She's another person that stands on business. And honestly, I think she'll call people out if she thinks they're crossing the line. And she also has enough self awareness to acknowledge when she thinks she's crossed the line. Feel like that's very important. And I think she's super well spoken. And yeah, I, I like, I like her POV so far.
[00:14:35] Speaker A: Totally agree, totally agree. And I think you hit the nail on the head. Like, she. I hate to, like, use the term. She takes accountability because every reality show and every podcast is obsessed with that term right now. I want to, like, do a drinking game for everything, and I'll get drunk anytime anyone says, yeah, take accountability.
But she. Take accountability.
Like, she really just, like, here, like, similar with.
With Shelly. She will just be like, listen to your point of view, and then really just, like, take it in and be like, you know what? You're right. I did not see your perspective. Let me take a step back and say, okay, and let's move on. I. I love. I love her. I'm a big fan, and she's just like, face card is unreal. Body is bodying. Like, she's just. I'm so. I'm really worried about these men that no one's, like, like, flocking to her. Like, she's just.
[00:15:38] Speaker B: It's weird, right? No, I'm like, are you guys not. Are we not seeing, like, the same thing? Like, this bitches.
Snatched.
[00:15:48] Speaker A: Snatched.
I'm just, like, staring at her ass.
[00:15:51] Speaker B: Like, oh, my God.
[00:15:53] Speaker A: The whole episode.
[00:15:54] Speaker B: And I was so happy that the girls were like, that's the best I've ever seen an ass look in jeans. Like, girl.
Oh, my God. Body tea. And then we have Sierra, who's one of the bombshells. She's 25, from LA, and she came in at the end of night one or two, and she's already making a big splash, and we'll get into that. But I really. I really like her. I like her a lot. At first, I was a little, like. I don't know, like, the initial, you know, like, moment with her and Nick, because I was kind of, like, not rooting for Bella. But, like, it's always hard with the Bombshell because you're, like.
You just don't know. Bombshells have a disadvantage, I feel like.
[00:16:48] Speaker A: I totally agree. I totally agree. Like, we're so. We're just always so in tune when it comes to these people.
I.
I like her. You know, she's not like, my fave. I'm worried about, like, how many chances she's possibly gonna give Nick for being a little.
Little baby boy that he is.
But I. I do like her. I do like her.
[00:17:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:17:15] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:17:15] Speaker B: Sounds like you're, like, convincing yourself.
[00:17:17] Speaker A: No, it's like. It's just that I. She's. It's just not. I'm not, like, on the, like, Shelly, like, like, obsessed with her. I think that she brings a great voice of girlhood into the group, and I just hope that she's, like, continues, like, listening to her own words for other girls for her. Like, I don't want her to get stuck with Nick when he's pulling his stupid little idiot boy stuff. I don't know.
[00:17:47] Speaker B: Totally. That's. That's very true. And then we have Hannah, who is the new bombshell. Exactly.
[00:17:56] Speaker A: I was like, who's Hannah?
[00:17:58] Speaker B: Exactly, Exactly. I have not formulated a thought on her yet.
She's a cute blonde. We needed a blonde in the house.
[00:18:10] Speaker A: I don't really, like, it's giving Eloise in the plaza.
[00:18:14] Speaker B: Like, literally, I'm like, where she at?
Who she talking to?
I don't. I don't. I don't.
A little bit. She's not really contributing anything, so I don't. I can't see her lasting a long time unless she's coupled up with Charlie.
[00:18:36] Speaker A: Yeah. But I feel like the second that Charlie gets to Casa, he's gonna be.
[00:18:41] Speaker B: Oh, he go, yeah. If he even make it that long.
[00:18:44] Speaker A: Yeah, Exactly. Yeah. Hey, Ms. Too Sweet. She's nice.
[00:18:48] Speaker B: Yeah, she's.
[00:18:49] Speaker A: She's there.
I'm sorry. I'm such a dick.
[00:18:53] Speaker B: No, she's there and she's sweet. And then we have Amaya, who Hannah entered with. And maybe that's what it is because she. Hannah came in with Amaya, and Amaya has just been there for 48 hours and is already acting the fuck out. I mean, yeah, I just. My initial thoughts, I wrote down annoying as fuck, misplaced energy, no emotional regulation.
And I said, also, her hollering at. At Shelly, even though she hasn't told Shelly that she had her tongue down Austin's throat.
[00:19:36] Speaker A: Oh, my God, why do I keep forgetting about the doc scene where they were mugging, where they were snogging on the dock?
[00:19:44] Speaker B: Doc Snog.
[00:19:45] Speaker A: A doc snog.
No, you're so right. She's. She's.
I. I was kind of. And I'm sure again, we'll get into it when we get into it, but, like, yeah, she. She came in hot. That's what bombshells do.
[00:19:59] Speaker B: She.
[00:19:59] Speaker A: Bombshells great. I think she's still rolling down the Bombshell hill. Like, she's just like. And literally cannot stop rolling at the hill girl.
[00:20:14] Speaker B: Sort of running up the hill. She's rolling down the hill.
[00:20:17] Speaker A: She's.
She's going to become vecna. Like, girl.
[00:20:22] Speaker B: She. She literally is like. You know, it's bad where you're walking towards all the guys and they're like, oh, God. O.
[00:20:30] Speaker A: Like, the editors did so Good with like playing music too. While like you said, they were just like, oh, God, I'm nervous. She's coming over. And then there's like this like trepidatious music playing in the background.
So good.
[00:20:45] Speaker B: It's so, so good. So those are all the women.
[00:20:49] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:20:50] Speaker B: On the show. And then we will get into the guys. So we have Ace, 22, from LA. He's a content creator. Ace is not the place for the helpful hardware at all.
He is, I mean, he. If initially I wrote down charismatic, super friendly, great on camera, could see him being a great personality on like after sun, like being in the Love island worlds. Those are my initial thoughts.
[00:21:28] Speaker A: Yeah, my initial thought. The first time he showed his back tattoo, I was like, this is ice from Hocus Pocus. Ace is ice.
Like, I'm sorry, that was the big. The, the Ace. His name on his back is an ick from the get go. I don't trust a man who puts his own nickname on his back in not even just like, you know, a cute little, little design. It's like full back.
[00:21:55] Speaker B: Yeah, Full back chat with your name. It's like it's a flag. I didn't see that at first initially, and I was like, oh, well, that makes sense. Why?
[00:22:05] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:06] Speaker B: The way you are.
[00:22:08] Speaker A: He's just weird. Like, he's just a weird dude. Like, he seems to.
We'll get into it, we'll get into.
[00:22:18] Speaker B: It, we'll get into it.
And then we have our 24 year old good old boy Taylor from OKC, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, who is a literal cowboy. So what do you, what do you think of him so far?
[00:22:33] Speaker A: I like Taylor. I really like Taylor. I think protect Taylor at all costs. He seems like a sweet boy who doesn't know how to express himself because he's from. And I can say this because I lived literally there.
He's just a good old boy from Oklahoma. And, and I just think, yeah, I think he's a sweetie pie.
[00:22:52] Speaker B: Yeah, I think he, I think he's sweet too. He's young, but he's. He, he has like good intentions. But yeah, you could definitely tell he doesn't know how to like articulate how he's feeling for sure.
So it makes sense that he's besties with Ace.
Truly.
[00:23:12] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
[00:23:13] Speaker B: Yeah. And then we have Jeremiah, 25, from LA, who's coupled up with Huda. He's a model. And my initial first thoughts were Smooth Criminal.
That's what I wrote down.
[00:23:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I think you're pretty spot on. Yeah, I think he's hot. And there's.
[00:23:36] Speaker B: Oh, my God. He's so one of the most hot.
[00:23:38] Speaker A: I think he might be one of the hottest dudes that's been on us the whole us show.
[00:23:44] Speaker B: Yeah, a thousand percent.
Like, that's the first. Like, he's one of the first guys from, like, not being a bombshell in the US that's like, oh, damn.
[00:23:56] Speaker A: Right off the bat.
[00:23:57] Speaker B: Like, right off the bat.
[00:23:59] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. It's like.
It's the kiss on the cheek right off the bat. Like, you know, I don't want to make out with any other girls. There's like. It's just. It's too performative for me. Like, it's. I need you to, like, come on to Love island and make out with everybody and get it out, you know, off your chest, and then later you can do a cheek kiss. You know what I mean? It's just weird. Again, a weird guy. Just a weird guy.
[00:24:24] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. And then speaking of weird, we have Nick, 24, from Jacksonville, Florida, a registered nurse and model. And I'm like, not you Coming for Sierra from summer house's gig. We've already got one model and nurse in the reality TV universe. We don't need another. And she's actually perfect, Nick, so back off.
[00:24:49] Speaker A: That's true. She's not a dummy. He's just a dumb boy.
[00:24:53] Speaker B: He is. I mean, it's just funny because with Nick.
Nick and Austin, I'm like, no wonder you guys are besties, because, like, you see the women and they're having all these, like, really emotional, articulate conversations, and, you know, they're talking about their real feelings, and then they're like, oh, man. Like, I don't know. Like, I just don't know. And, like, you know, I like Shrek. I'm like, girl, what are you.
What?
[00:25:28] Speaker A: Like that? Like, you can't. There's no onion to peel here, sir. Like, there's no onion.
[00:25:36] Speaker B: No, girl, this is onion powder.
This is cutting everything out. Just.
[00:25:42] Speaker A: And we're choking on this onion powder.
[00:25:45] Speaker B: No, I feel like a vampire because, like, oh, no, that's garlic.
[00:25:52] Speaker A: It can be onion for him, though, because he's stinky and gross.
Are we talking about Austin? Who are we talking about?
[00:25:59] Speaker B: She said, I don't even know which one we're talking about yet. No, we're still talking about Nick.
[00:26:03] Speaker A: Okay, he might not be stinky. He looks like he smells good, but.
[00:26:06] Speaker B: Yeah, he does look like he smells good. I think he's. He's got the advantage because he's, like, a Pretty boy.
[00:26:12] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:26:13] Speaker B: Like, he's got that, like, Timothee Chalamet, Harry Styles vibe. He, Timothy Tiffany, Salome, he's got that floppy hair thing going for him. And I think, you know, he acts like, oh, I'm just like, I'm just a little guy. But honestly, most male nurses I've met, they be, especially a straight male nurse girl.
They be, well.
[00:26:42] Speaker A: And also knowing what happened tonight on tonight's episode, like, he has thoughts and he's expressing them now. He's feeling comfortable and it's kind of messy.
[00:26:55] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, definitely. And then we have Austin the pool cleaner with the thousands of nudes and hundreds of sexual partners. And honestly, the frosted tips is literally high body count hair.
[00:27:12] Speaker A: Absolutely. But, like, he sucks in bed. Like, you know, he's like, really bad.
[00:27:18] Speaker B: Because he's the jackhammer.
[00:27:20] Speaker A: You know, he's just like, he's been with thousands of women because he can't keep. He can't bring another one back into his bed.
[00:27:26] Speaker B: No.
[00:27:26] Speaker A: They're like, please, never again.
[00:27:28] Speaker B: Yeah, he's just pounding that he's coming. He's a two pump chomp. Like, I cannot see him laying on. Can you see him laying pipe? Like, can you see him like, oh, making love? Like, I, I don't see that.
No.
[00:27:45] Speaker A: I, I, I'm like, I'm getting so icked out even just thinking about him in bet. Like, I can't, I don't even want to think about it. You said him laying back. I'm like, I can't, you know?
[00:27:57] Speaker B: I know, but he does look better with that little mustache, though.
[00:28:00] Speaker A: I will say completely disagree. I think he looks skeezy, wormy little. I mean, just knowing all the things that we know of him from the interwebs, digging and doing their thing, which we'll get into.
[00:28:13] Speaker B: Yeah, Yeah.
[00:28:16] Speaker A: I think he looks so. I love a mustache, but that's like someone took a Sharpie and like, not even a Sharpie. That looks like someone took like a pencil and etched the pencil above his lip. He looks bad.
[00:28:29] Speaker B: I mean, I feel like he looked bad before, honestly.
[00:28:33] Speaker A: Well, yeah, I, yeah, but he looks worse. I'm so mean on your podcast.
[00:28:38] Speaker B: Oh, my God. I told you. I love the activated Megan. I told you this before.
[00:28:44] Speaker A: She's like, literally last time I'm on this, I'm like, lindsay Hubbard can suck my dick. And now I'm like, like railing on all these people on Love Island. I'm having a great time, you guys. I promise.
[00:28:56] Speaker B: It's mostly the men, though.
[00:28:58] Speaker A: It is, it is.
[00:29:00] Speaker B: Because it's. It's Slim Pickens out here.
[00:29:04] Speaker A: I call him Worm Boy.
[00:29:06] Speaker B: A word. A literal worm with the mustache.
[00:29:10] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:29:11] Speaker B: Truly. And it's just funny because you're like the nicest person in the world. So seeing you be like, he fucking sucks. I'm like, yeah.
[00:29:23] Speaker A: I said it last time. I loved hearing myself talk.
[00:29:25] Speaker B: I'll just.
[00:29:26] Speaker A: I'll just fucking rant.
[00:29:28] Speaker B: And I live for it. And finally, our last bombshell. Charlie 27 from the UK giving Jamie Tartt down from Ted Lasso.
He has the high, the actual highest body count so far, and I just thought it was weird that he's had hundreds of sexual partners, but yet he has not been in a relationship before.
That's so sus.
[00:29:58] Speaker A: That tells you everything you need to know. Like, little Eloise in the plaza. Girl is so excited. I'm like, girl, he's majorboy energy. He has been from the moment he walked in.
[00:30:08] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:30:08] Speaker A: I don't know why all these women are surprised to see all his body count. His, like, nudes that he says he didn't send, but we know he sent, you know, like, yeah, he's a fuck boy.
[00:30:19] Speaker B: He. He really is. It's something Charlie Austin and a girl who's no longer in the villa Yalissa have in common is their toxic Internet footprint. Their Internet presence was not very good. They're definitely Trumpers Maga supporters.
Well, Yalissa, I don't know if she's exactly Maga, but she was kicked off the show because she was a podcast clip resurfaced of her saying nigga repeatedly. And she is not. She's of Cuban descent. She is not black at all.
And I heard a rumor that the clip came from one of her friends.
One of her. Yeah, the rumor is that one of her so called friends didn't get on Love island and was actually the one that leaked it.
[00:31:16] Speaker A: I love that.
I love that drama. Oh, my God.
[00:31:22] Speaker B: So that got uncovered. But.
[00:31:25] Speaker A: Well, she did have a video about where I guess she lost a lot of followers recently or year at some point around before she got on the violin. She lost a lot of followers because she posted something Maga and pro Trump and then went on a crazy rant video like bashing everybody who unfollowed her. Like, y' all are really gonna unfollow me because I said I like Trump, yada yada. Like, she just consistently digging her own grave.
[00:31:54] Speaker B: Trash.
Truly trash. And she left in the middle of the night. They probably the mic, the God Mike. They have a God Mike. They call it the Love Island. God, the islanders in the villa.
And they probably said, it's time for you to go, girl.
And she's already issued an apology and no one is checking for her. No one cares.
Then we have Bella Belle.
For if you have not watched the show, A, what are you doing? But B, Bella's name is spelled B E L L E Dash A.
So she to me is a unverified Kardashian. You know how the other Hadid sister just came out?
They just found. Discovered her. Belle Dasha.
Just saying.
[00:32:54] Speaker A: I'm screaming. That's hilarious.
Bella was an interesting gal. Baldasha.
[00:33:00] Speaker B: I kind of feel bad just because, like, I. I appreciate someone who's like, I'm not trying to do all that. Like, she is a young girl. She's not trying to make out with everyone. But also, like, she did have a connection with Nick and she kind of waited until it was a little too late to show him any kind of affection.
And I. I mean, she's so gorgeous. Like, she is.
Oh, my God. Stunning. Like up there with like, she was giving me like Zendaya vibes. Like, even though her accent was a little problematic because definitely, you know, sometimes it's going back and forth. Same thing with Huda. Sometimes, like the Pentagon.
[00:33:43] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:33:43] Speaker B: You're talking to your voice changes and I don't really like that. But Belle Dasha did have a lot of potential.
[00:33:53] Speaker A: Yeah, I agree.
I think that was honestly one of the most frustrating and distracting things for me was the switching between your voicing, your voices and how you're speaking.
I think it's definitely a Gen Z thing to, like, TikTok talk is having talking in aave and it's like, it's really uncomfortable. And that was really distract. Like, I feel like I just didn't.
[00:34:24] Speaker B: You didn't fudge with her.
[00:34:25] Speaker A: I.
[00:34:27] Speaker B: And I mean, that is true.
She definitely. She is the Gen Z glued to her phone because she's literally speaking in tik tok.
[00:34:38] Speaker A: Yes, it's exactly. I just think she's confused. Like, I don't think she knew. I don't think she knows what she wants. And she's so young.
Like, she. She's still trying to figure it out. It's like, okay, you have maybe some of these, like, morals that you're going to stand on of, like how you making decisions, how you're moving through the world. Like, that's great.
And then to just drastically change how she's behaving in front of this guy that she desperately wants to like, her and to choose her.
I'm sad almost that, like, it's. There's just a lot of growth that needs to happen and.
[00:35:15] Speaker B: Oh, it's true. Like, yeah, I definitely think she just didn't know who she is, what she wants. Like, you know, what. What she was really even there for.
[00:35:24] Speaker A: Right. I think she might have gone in, like, thinking, I can, you know, go through this Love island experience with the kiss on the cheek or, like, waiting, and it's like, babe, these boys are not coming on Love island to kiss you on the cheek. Like, I'm sorry. That. And. And I don't want to be rude, but, like, have you seen the show? It's like the Galaxy Quest moment of, like, have you even seen the show? Like, it's.
[00:35:49] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:35:50] Speaker A: Nick is wanting. Nick is just wanting some kisses on day one. And it's. I don't know if that's his fault. I don't know if that's her fault. Like, it's just, like, that's not the way that this show works. You're. You got a Mac on some fucking people.
[00:36:03] Speaker B: Even if you gotta.
[00:36:04] Speaker A: Oh, Landria. Tongue out first on people, she said.
[00:36:11] Speaker B: But literally, like, even if it was just during the challenge and she made out with them, and then she was like, okay, just so we know that that was for the challenge. I'm not that girl. I would have said, okay. Like, I get that. I get that. Because that's even kind of how Serena was.
[00:36:29] Speaker A: Sure. Yeah.
[00:36:31] Speaker B: She wasn't macking on people unless it was a challenge. So I do get that. But you gotta at least give. Give a little to get a little, you know?
[00:36:42] Speaker A: Sure.
[00:36:43] Speaker B: Okay, so. Oh, my gosh. Now that we've gone over the cast, honey, we got to talk about some of the tea. It's only been a week, and there has been the. The kettle is, like, on fire. It's like.
Because it's. It's insane. I mean. No.
[00:37:02] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:37:02] Speaker B: I was texting you, and I was like, I am so happy. We are starting to the Love island episodes tonight of all nights, because.
Holy shit, you guys. It was popping off. We are a week in, and the dynamics are really starting to unfold.
[00:37:24] Speaker A: Yes. Everyone's past the point in the, like, honeymoon phase. Whether it's, like, actual relationships, like, chemistry relationships or platonic relations. Romantic. We. Whether it's romantic relationships or platonic relationships, everyone's past the honeymoon phase of all their relationships, and they're starting to either unravel or just speak their mind a little bit more. They're not Afraid to, like, push some buttons and cause a little bit of a stir?
[00:37:56] Speaker B: Yes, yes. So I'd say the biggest one right now. Oh, God. It's actually. I don't even know. There's. There's a couple things that are pretty crazy right now. I don't know if it's the Huda and Jeremiah or the love triangle of Ace, Shelley and Austin, but to me, they kind of correlate in a way, because Ace has. And this is what I was saying earlier with Ace, I initially really liked him because he was the one that caught on to Jeremiah. Because they did a challenge and they had to reveal all of. You know, it's usually episode three where they reveal the body count and how many people they've slept with in a day and like all these juicy questions. And Ace thought it was really weird that Jeremiah has said I love you to 10 women.
And obviously his.
Jeremiah's relationship with Huda is very close. And he said, you know, I think it's a little bit love bomby. And after the first recoupling, Ace, who has been vibing with Shelley for so long and Shelly's in a couple with Austin, people think that Ace is kind of a mastermind and that the reason that he picked Amaya is because she's, quote unquote, Jeremiah's type. So he kept. He wanted to keep her around to test Jeremiah because when he didn't pick Shelley, I was like, what the fuck is wrong with you? Like, why would you not pick this girl who you are vibing so hard with?
And whoa.
Yeah, that's, that's the theory in the Streets is that Ace did it on purpose and he's trying to test my mind, that right?
[00:39:54] Speaker A: My freaking mind, dude. And I can so see him doing that, because you're right. It's like I was shook when he said all that wonderful stuff and then he didn't say Shelly's name. I'm like, you're crazy. And then immediately is like, hey, by the way, I don't, like, want to touch you. I don't want to cuddle you.
That was so weird. And that would. I can't wait to tell my mom. Oh, my God, she's going to lose her mind.
[00:40:19] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, it's crazy. Like, he picked her, he picked Maya, and then all of a sudden he's breaking up.
You know, I don't like to be touched. You know, she say he makes her breakfast and she says, oh, thanks, babe. And then he's like, I'm kind of freaked out, like what do you call people you're in a relationship with? Oh, babe. I don't like that. And I unders. And this is why I initially had empathy for Amaya because I call everybody babe, right? I'm very affectionate. Like, you know, if you tell me that boundary, obviously I won't. But she didn't even have a moment to settle into being in a couple after the recoupling for him to like she said, I feel like you just burst my bubble.
And you know, he was completely out of. I don't know, it just was very off putting. And honestly, I just felt really embarrassed for Amaya initially because he behaved like a real jackass and he didn't even give her the ability to be doing too much. So I just felt like it was unfair. And this is a big reason why I do think that he kept her around because clearly you had no interest in her.
[00:41:37] Speaker A: It was just so weird. Like, it's okay to have boundaries 100. It's. It is okay and very necessary and important to communicate those even kind of right off the bat. But it would, it would be one thing if he did that maybe before he chose her. Like, you know, they're cuddling on the couch, they're getting to know each other, he could just slip in, like, you know, like when I'm early in a relationship, I, you know, it takes me a second to warm up. It get to get touchy feely, pa, whatever. Like that's what you say to her before you choose her. And then it doesn't have to be weird after the fire pit, you know, and that is why it was just so uncomfortable. And I did have a soft spot for Amaya before, you know, kind of all hell broke loose with, with her and how she communicates poorly as well. I think she said it right in her testimonial. They just butt heads. They just do not click.
[00:42:34] Speaker B: But I also, I also think it's a mix of seeing what Jeremiah would do and also what Shelley would do, because I think he, he was want. I think maybe he wanted Shelly to feel jealous or feel some kind of way that he didn't pick her and he wants her to chase him. And even Austin said she's not that kind of girl. Like, she's not gonna chase a man. And I think, you know, she said that's totally fine. I understand that if she gave him the emotionally mature response that you should have on a dating competition show, right?
[00:43:14] Speaker A: And she really does understand what Love island is.
[00:43:17] Speaker B: She gets it. And she said, oh, play on Play it like I'm not mad at you.
And I think he was floored by that as well. I think that he was expecting her to give him a reaction, and he didn't. He was plucked. And then obviously, Jeremiah, he saw how. I mean, Amaya, like I said, no emotional regulation.
Okay? This is.
I was watching her and seeing how she acts, and I was trying to figure out, like, who does she remind me of?
Like, I couldn't put my finger on it. And you know what? You know who she reminds me of? Who. Who she reminds me of? Do you remember that one roommate I had?
And I left the house. It was, like, one of my favorite apartments where we met. Our origin story. And this girl moved in, and she looked just like Amaya. She talked just like her. She talking at you instead of having a conversation. Can't get a word in edgewise. And that bitch, as soon as I left, started cooking meth and prostituting outside of that apartment and not saying that Amaya is doing any of that.
But it's the same energy, and it kind of freaks me out.
[00:44:35] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah.
[00:44:37] Speaker B: It's very intense, right?
[00:44:39] Speaker A: Like, it was just chaos. It was just absolute chaos from. I only met her the one time, and I feel like I was just so anxious when I left your house that one time because it was just so much radiating out of her all the time. Oh, my God, that is so Amaya.
[00:44:55] Speaker B: Yeah, right? Because, I mean, the next day, she so her and Ace have this conversation, and he's like, don't call me babe. Don't touch me. And, I mean, he was kind of an asshole because he goes to hug Shelly and say good night, and then she's. Amaya says, basically, where's my hug? Where's my hug?
[00:45:16] Speaker A: What about me? Fuck my drag.
[00:45:18] Speaker B: No, literally. And he said, and none for Gretchen Wieners.
So then she woke up the next day and was like, actually, Shelly, I think you've been holding back. And I think you fucking knew what was going on. And I. I'm not. I'm not here for that.
Basically saying that Shelly is not a girl's girl.
And it's. And she literally would not let her say anything.
So insufferable. I. I give Shelly so much props because she handled that.
So she gave her so much grace, she even cried. She made Shelly cry. And I was like, we got to get this out of here. We gotta get her out of here, because we are protecting Shelly at all cost.
[00:46:06] Speaker A: I mean, talk about two people who are opposite sides of reading the room. Like, Shelley was 100% understanding that this girl is not going to let me talk and I'm going to let her just continue to ramble, ramble, ramble, dig her own grave. And then Amaya just can't read a room. And we'll just go on and on and on. Clearly we know who we need to protect in the situation.
[00:46:28] Speaker B: Yeah, without a doubt. And going back to Ace, I, Ace, and now connecting the Ace, Huda, Jeremiah of it all, they have this sort of beef between each other, Ace and Jeremiah, that it's like an unspoken thing and clearly Ace feels some type of way about their relationship and it isn't being fully expressed, but it's definitely something that people are picking up on. And I mean, to me as the audience, Huda and Jeremiah, it feels very clear, you know, the circumstances.
I think Huda is seeking validation from a man about being a mother and that's like the patriarchy, you know, like that's what she's kind of been conditioned to do totally. And you know, I think there hasn't, they haven't had the circumstance of anyone else coming in to even remotely threaten their relationship.
And I guess that's kind of what we're basing it on right now. But it is a lot, I feel like they are, it's very rare for someone to be day one coupled up, talking about moving in together.
Obviously the stakes are even higher because she's a single mom and initially I thought she was giving me Jess from the Netflix world of Love is Blind.
And I was like, we love a hot ass single mom hustling for their kid, you know. But the more I'm watching it, I'm like, oh no. Because Jess is so secure in her everything, her beauty, her financial stuff, her motherhood, everything.
And it's like when another thing, Huda waited three days to tell Jeremiah that she was a mom.
[00:48:34] Speaker A: I like have feelings about that, but I also don't have a kid, so I don't know the right way to go about that. You know what I like, I don't know what would be, yeah, like, do I want someone to love me for me before I reveal kind of this big piece that is a pretty big part of who me is me is.
[00:48:55] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:48:59] Speaker A: But on the, on the other hand, I get like, it's almost kind of manipulative in a way because then he doesn't know who he's falling in love with or getting to know.
I don't know how I feel about, I, I, I feel like what I said earlier about her getting too Much heat online.
Is that more so that he's not getting enough heat? I guess maybe just on my algorithm. It's just hood of this Huda that. Yeah, like, is that she is giving too much for this man. That's not reciprocating. And I'm like, maybe he's doesn't expect express it with his face, but, like, he's giving her every indication that she can behave like this or. Or try to be with him in this kind of way very quickly right off the bat, not getting a kiss on the mouth right off the bat, like, whether his intentions are good or whether he's just trying to pull Boy island season one and get the money and run. Like, I don't know what's gonna happen with his intentions, but whatever it is, all I've seen is him affirming her along the way.
Maybe not tonight entirely because he has those question marks, but, like, up until tonight, he has affirmed her. And I think they're just delusional together.
[00:50:18] Speaker B: I think that's totally. Yeah, totally. I definitely think they're delusional together. And everyone's just kind of been feeding into the delusion until now.
[00:50:27] Speaker A: Right?
[00:50:28] Speaker B: This is kind of the first time that someone said out loud outside of a confessional to one of them that it's. It's giving a little performance. It's giving a little, you know, which.
[00:50:41] Speaker A: Is messy, but we. They need to hear it. They need to do.
[00:50:44] Speaker B: And you could tell. So they had this challenge today, and they basically had to kind of call people out. You know, who do you think is here for clout?
Who do you think has big dick energy? Just things like that. And you could either pie them or kiss them. You had to flip a big coin.
And it got people felt some kind of way about the way some of the questions were answered. And I mean, it is a challenge. It's a game. It's really not that deep. You literally just have to pick somebody. And after that challenge, Nick, like, all the boys were talking and obviously Ace was feeling some kind of way about Huda. And then Nick basically aired his grievances about Huda to the boys and said, I feel like sometimes she really likes you, and sometimes it's a bit performative. And the way that Jeremiah was spiraling in real time.
Oh, he. You can literally see the rainbow wheel of death.
[00:51:51] Speaker A: Oh, my God. Like, truly, Truly. And, like, I feel like if he needed time to process that info, which natural. You're human. You kind of get this perspective from your friend.
You need time to think on it and kind of go over the last seven days and see if you kind of maybe agree or whatever, get your own feelings on it.
He could have just told her he didn't have to give her, like, the weird, like, thing. Thumbs up, like, yeah, no, I'm good. He could have just been like, I'm just kind of in a mood.
I just need a little space. And, like, that talk. I mean, we're talking about boundaries earlier. Like, that's okay to tell someone. You need space to think about something.
[00:52:33] Speaker B: Right.
[00:52:33] Speaker A: And that would even tell him exactly what he needed to know if he. If she reacted to him poorly from that she's reacting to him, communicating with her poorly. So it leaves us with this episode ending on this note of absolute chaos tonight.
Because nobody knows how to communicate in this villa.
[00:52:56] Speaker B: No.
[00:52:56] Speaker A: Except for most of the women, right?
[00:52:59] Speaker B: Shelly, Alandria, Sierra, the men. But the men are just lacking. I mean, Austin can barely put two sentences together. I mean, I will say Ace has kind of had me. I'm like, how are you handling a situation so poorly that I'm rooting for Austin right now?
[00:53:19] Speaker A: No, for real. Like, fuck Austin. Hate that guy.
[00:53:22] Speaker B: I hate him so much. But I've been agreeing with him with the way that he's been patient with Shelly and the situation she's in with the two boys. You know, like, he's giving her a lot of grace. But it's also like. I mean, come on.
[00:53:40] Speaker A: Like, we just need a bombshell to come in and sweep her off her feet, dude. Like, her and Alandria. I need two dudes to come in and just be like, you guys are not getting the love that you deserve. I will go into the villa, and as a bombshell, can I land? You can't pull you for a chat.
[00:53:57] Speaker B: Oh, my God, I would love that so much. And the bombshells, you know, for. If you are new to the Love island game, the bombshells that they bring in throughout the course of the show, they kind of have. Like, they're watching the show.
So even it'll be interesting to see if Huda doesn't tell everyone that she's a mom.
And these bombshells come in knowing that she's a mom.
[00:54:28] Speaker A: Oh, my God. I didn't even think about that. Oh, my God.
[00:54:32] Speaker B: You know, And I don't know. I feel like Jeremiah's initial reaction when she told him, his face was kind of cracked. He's got. He does not have a great. Someone who does not have a great poker face. My boy Jeremiah does not Have a good poker face either. Like, no, it was a great reality TV moment because he was kind of like, it was a divorce court lady. It was like, not this real, you know.
[00:54:59] Speaker A: And do you think that Ace would have a different view of how they're going about things if he knew about her being a mom? Because all the girls know. Do you think that the boys would have a different opinion?
[00:55:14] Speaker B: Yes.
I think they probably would understand why she is so locked in and not really around with other people like that. Because of her situation.
[00:55:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:55:28] Speaker B: Like, you know, I. I think they would be like, oh, because she shared that with him. They're talking about like their future and real together. It's not just like, you know, I like Shrek or what do you like to do when you go out? Or like, what are you like, they're having like real ass conversations. She's like, I wake up, I take my kid to school, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Like, she's got a full ass life. She's momming, you know, and.
[00:55:58] Speaker A: And co parenting. I think that who. Who was talking to him about, oh, Alandria, I think she may have, with very good intentions, scared the out of him with that of like, you will have another dude in your life forever.
[00:56:14] Speaker B: And it was her first love and.
[00:56:16] Speaker A: Right. And. And Olandre was like, all of your decisions you're making now are gonna need to not be just for.
Honestly, there's even an element of like four, you know, like there's of. There is always going to be another dude in your life.
Not like you have to do anything for him by any means, but he's always, always going to be in the back of your mind.
[00:56:39] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:56:40] Speaker A: I think everybody just scared the out of Jeremiah this episode.
[00:56:44] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:56:45] Speaker A: So many different fronts.
[00:56:47] Speaker B: Yeah.
Yeah. So I am very curious. We got some new bombshells coming in. I'm just like, please give us some more bombshells for the girls because this is not it. We. We need better. We need more for the girls. And I am so excited. I hope we get another little kiss.
A Shelly Sierra kiss. Because that was hot.
Love that.
And I. I don't know. I'm excited. This is so far, so good. I know it's early days, but.
[00:57:25] Speaker A: No, but it really, like, this is the turning point. This, this episode tonight was like exactly what, a thousand. The time period of like the Rob and Leah fight up on the balcony or whatever.
[00:57:35] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:57:37] Speaker A: Where he started crying and he jumped in the pool.
Never forget. Never.
[00:57:41] Speaker B: Oh, never forget.
[00:57:42] Speaker A: Like, I think tonight is the catalyst for like the Switch that we're gonna actually start to see people's personalities, rest assured.
To our new Love island watchers, who have not been in this for almost 10 years. Like we have.
It's it. It shall get better. It shall get better. And watch UK too. Like, oh, yeah. Started yesterday.
[00:58:04] Speaker B: I know. We gotta. We'll be talking about that too. We'll be talking about that too. Don't you worry.
I. I do have. Do you think Huda and Jeremiah. I don't know. I just feel like the Casa more is going to be earth shattering. I can just.
[00:58:22] Speaker A: Oh, is your.
[00:58:23] Speaker B: You think.
[00:58:23] Speaker A: Are you asking if they are going to make it or not?
[00:58:26] Speaker B: Yeah. Like, do you think they're going to make it to Casa?
[00:58:30] Speaker A: I think they'll make it to Casa. Will they make it through Casa?
I really feel. And I'll. I'll eat my words later if I really am not correct on this, but I think a lot of the girlies feel this way. I think he's in it to win it. I don't think he's in it to win her. I think he's gonna do and say everything he needs to to get to the end. May. I don't know if that's really coming for his character or not, but I don't know.
[00:58:59] Speaker B: He's a smooth operator for sure.
[00:59:01] Speaker A: I'll just say I want them to get to Casa. I. I need so badly to see what happens if they make it that far, and I think they will because everyone's going to try to vote off the Trumpers first anyway.
[00:59:13] Speaker B: 1,000%. Shelley's going to be like, why does every. Why Austin? He's so great, he's so chill, and he's the first one out. She's going to be like, I don't understand.
[00:59:22] Speaker A: She's like, why does America hate me? No, girl, we're doing this for you.
[00:59:25] Speaker B: We're doing this for you. Don't. Don't you worry. Don't you worry. That's always such a funny part when, like, they don't realize, like, why we're voting. Like, with Kayla and Aaron, lots of year, she was like, fuck, dude. Like, like, why?
[00:59:42] Speaker A: Like, speaking of Taylor and Aaron.
[00:59:45] Speaker B: Oh, I know.
[00:59:45] Speaker A: On your regular segment of Regular Dishwash, you're gonna have a lot to talk about this summer.
[00:59:51] Speaker B: Oh, girl. Cause we got life after the villa coming out.
[00:59:57] Speaker A: It looks good.
[00:59:58] Speaker B: It looks so good. This is gonna be.
Oh, my God, you guys, I am just so fucking hyped for this summer. And Meg's gonna be here with me. Dishing about Love island for the next seven weeks.
[01:00:15] Speaker A: Oh, my God. So much island. So much love.
You can't see, but I'm humping my. No kidding.
[01:00:23] Speaker B: Okay, she's humping the water bottle.
[01:00:27] Speaker A: Wait.
Okay, I'm sorry. You brought me on and I'm going to be a menace.
[01:00:33] Speaker B: No, I live. All right, so we've dissected couplings, question red flags, and tried to make sense of someone saying, I'm not closed off, but I'm also not open.
Classic Love island logic.
But before you go back to the real world, remember this podcast is always here for you.
No recoupling, no recasting. Just a good old fashioned grass sesh with your favorite host.
So until next time, stay loyal. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. And please, no more boys who say, I've never felt this way before. For the third time this week, I'm Tish. Thank you, Megan, for being here. I love you.
I love you guys.
Bye, babes.
