Transcript of Loser Island: Monday, June 22nd, 2026

Good morning, girlies! It's The Toast.

It's Jax and Claude, and we're your hosts.

It's your favorite show, the fast 5 things you need to know. We'll start your day off swirly. It's The Toast.

I sound amazing.

Welcome back to The Toast. Happy Monday after a long weekend. I bet you guys missed us because we missed you. Hey, Jax, how you doing?

I'm doing good, but hopefully you didn't miss us too much because we did drop a Patreon on Friday.

We're so available, like, it's insane.

All the relevant pop culture news that you needed to know.

That's except for Jelly Roll and Bunny's podcast. That was like the only thing we missed.

And except for the fact that Grace Ann Nader said that Molly—

Mary Holland is single, which I don't feel like that would have made the Fast Five.

I just— I think That makes me—

I don't know, Grace Anne is like always putting her sisters on blast, and I don't feel like she's a safe space. And she— like, her sisters need to seriously excommunicate her.

No, but it makes me sick if Mary Holland and her gentleman broke up.

Her aristocrat.

Her aristocat.

Yeah, that would be bad. Well, I hope everybody had a great weekend. It's a Monday and we're just like sort of hitting the ground running, don't you find?

I do find we have a lot to discuss.

We do. Kind of secret project reveal for me. I don't know if you saw my Instagram, like I'm kind of making waves in the beauty industry.

No.

Yeah, that's right. Have you heard of the Claudia Edit by You Beauty? I don't think that you have.

Oh my God, I love— wait, let me go see. Let me go see.

So it's very cardboard inspired because You Beauty is my favorite skincare company, but it is really expensive. And I will say I think it's really worth the money, but they wanted to work with me and I was like, okay, give me a discount. Like, so for all I don't— it's not gonna be up for very long, so I would take advantage of it now. It's called the Claudia Edit. You're getting two of my favorite products, which is the eye cream and the neck cream, um, for like severe discount. Plus included is 2 months of Soto Method for free. So it's like over $300 value for $228. You're saving over $100. So you get to try YouBeauty, you get to try Soto Method if you haven't tried it yet. Um, yeah, just kind of like making waves in both the beauty and fitness industries.

I love that.

Do I— Claudia Edit.

Do I get some free product?

Well, you know what's so funny is that I was on a call with them and they were like, do you need a restock of anything?

And I was in the background. I I was like, I do.

And they sent it all to me, so I have so much.

No, no, they sent me.

Oh, you got—

yeah, that— so that was meant for you. What came your way was meant for you.

Let me tell you, that You Beauty shit is so fucking good. I feel like a lot of times you see like a lot of influencers using something and it's like always garbage. No, this is like so popular for a reason. But I understand it can be expensive, it's premium ingredients. So I took an opportunity for myself to help others. Very— that's kind of the core tenet of Cardboard Koji is like the charitable element, of course.

Of course, Cardboard Koji gives back with all of her earnings.

Cardboard Coach gives the fuck back. And so, YouBeauty, the Claudia Edit, available link on my stories. Get the Soda Method and two of my favorite YouBeauty products for over $100 discount. You're welcome.

Well, thank you for that, Miss Cojourner.

Also, something else I want to tell you, kind of like the craziest saga that I thought was over is not over. And I hate to like— I just thought— I feel like I should tell everyone what ended up happening. Remember when, um, the hotel I stayed at for Mother's Day sent me a Juul?

Yes.

And like, I don't feel that they properly took care of the customer.

I thought they did.

Well, they wrote me an email after I talked about it on the podcast. We're like, we're so sorry.

After you talked about on the podcast, they took care—

then they were like, we're refunding your whole stay.

And that— fine.

But no, they never issued the refund. And so we've been like following up with them like 3 or 4 times, and now they're ghosting us. So like, they got the credit. So I wanted to come back and say that the Pendry Nadarar actually didn't refund me after almost choking me with nicotine. And yeah, they, they fully ghosted us. I was like, hey, we never got this refund.

Natori Carta Mohegan Sun didn't refund you?

Natori Carta? Can you believe that?

What's the name of the hotel again?

Pendry Nadarar.

That's Natori Carta.

And the way that they're acting is very on brand, aligns with the Natori Carta organization as well.

Agreed. Wow, thanks for the update. We'll be following We'll be following this story closely.

Yeah, you know, it's tax season, so I'm just like checks and balancing all the people that owe me money. And you know, it's actually quite a few people that owe me money.

It's tax season, I'm, I'm finding—

no, it's tax season, I'm finding a gun. Yeah. Um, what else, what else? Oh, so Love Island USA caused some more movie night last night. We'll do a huge recap, lots to discuss. Finally leading into TV recap.

And Friday nights episode like was somewhat interesting. I was like, but we didn't have a show. Or Thursday night, I don't know, there was a lot to talk about, and so we'll talk about all of it. No, they sent home— they sent home Sol and Gabriel.

Oh, did we talk?

I don't think so.

Did we not talk about that?

I don't think so.

The thing is, is like, I'm so angry.

Yeah, and I'm not feeling like familiar déjà vu of like railing on the villagers regarding that, which I was feeling so angry.

Like, I think everyone's dumb, ugly, and stupid on this show. But it wore off kind of quickly because I realized, like, I don't really care about this group of people. There's not one person that I like. The only person I actually really genuinely liked and respected was Anaya, and that's no longer the case. She should put them back on the rack. I'm just feeling like that wore off weeks ago. No, I'm just saying, like, I don't really like anyone on this cast. I'm not rooting for anyone. I don't think any of them are smart or interesting, or like, there's not one quality in them I admire. So it's just like hard to watch people like that. Last night's infusion of like 25 new cast members will hopefully help. Hopefully there's one person that I can respect. I don't know if it's going to be the nanny who showed her butthole, but we'll see.

It might be. I think I have so many thoughts on last night. Like, the producers are quaking. They think the season is so bad because it is. Because like the 4 OG villager couples, like, they won't move out of their couple and they're also not really happy in their couples and they're not good couples. Everybody's playing it safe, everybody's trying to be comfortable, everybody is being exclusive, not letting new people in. And so what they did was them saying like, we know this season is not good and we can't have 3 more weeks of this. That is not a show.

No, it's so boring. That's what I'm saying. Even with the voting with Sol and Gabrieloff, which I guess was considered like a high-tense moment, like, who cares? Like, I don't care about any of these people. They have to change it up. And I also think that historically, like, Casa Amor men and women have always been like a tier 2 in terms of looks. Like, nobody's really ever like that threatening. And I think that this particular crop of women was quite quite party, like definitely, definitely gonna shake things up. So we'll do a full recap.

Yeah, it's also just like not fair that the OG villagers, like, they get to stay, you know? Like, they get to pick. How about you newbies have to pick a villager, and if you don't get them, you have to go? Like, get off my island, right? Sick of all of them.

No, it's such a dreadful show that I can't wait to watch again tonight.

Like, I—

the feelings I feel are so extreme.

I hate— the feelings I feel are so extreme, and I just, I just want to have more of positive extreme feelings, because I'm having like a lot of negative feelings. I guess like the last time I felt joy, like watching it, was meeting Sol. I enjoyed Sol until like I felt extreme sadness.

By the way, it's so true. Like, we were all so happy that day. It's hard to imagine how terrible things soon became.

But since Sierra chose Sol and he was finally moving on from Melanie and Sol got the best day of my life, the girls pulled Sol for a chat. Yeah, that was the last time I felt happy watching the show. So true. And ever since then, it's just been pain.

Pain.

Actually, I felt a little happy watching like the girls get put in their place, watching—

oh, sorry, I, I did extreme— like, I experienced a peak serotonin boost when that girl told Sincere he looked like Lord Farquaad, and he said, you can call me whatever you want. Like, he thought it was like dirty talking. She was actually just insulting him straight to his fucking face.

Peak serotonin boost. Yes, who was it? Was it Alana?

I don't know, I have no idea. I can't remember any of the girls' names.

It's in our chat because we were all like recapping at the same time.

I don't, I don't remember, but like, she is my queen. Is Alana the really little one?

Yeah, and you don't often see—

well, don't get too comfortable, sweetheart, she'll be gone by tomorrow. They found a video of her like singing the N-word. Bye, Alana, it was really nice knowing you.

Yeah, it was. So I'm not gonna get too invested in what she's up to.

By the way, do not— and nobody, all the listeners, do not plant roots within Alana. She will be gone before sunrise.

But it was nice to see Shorty.

And I know, short representation.

And everyone was like excited that there was a short girl. Like, Zach's throwing her through the air. Like, it was fun that there was a short girl.

She'll be thrown again off the island.

Yeah, for sure. Okay, let's get into the stories. We can talk about Love Island.

Anything else you wanted to talk about from the weekend?

No, no, it was, um, it was a nice quiet weekend at home, you know, just getting ready for our big journey north.

I know, our Swirly Summer begins like in less than 2 weeks, actually like in a week. Yeah, I'm so excited. I can't wait to spend the summer with you and just eat our way through the Hamptons.

A lot of preparation underway for that, that's really been like consuming me. Um, no, it was like a nice summer weekend, you know.

What did I do this weekend? Oh, I got a new TV.

Oh right, I saw.

Yeah, it was kind of devastating. I was like so cardboard with this TV. Like I had it 4 apartments ago. It's the oldest TV ever and I didn't realize that like TVs had changed so much. I didn't realize I was literally watching like a black and white TV. I got this new TV, it's not even fancy.

No, I know, like the technology keeps changing and it's like even if you had like the nicest TV 5 years ago, like it's worse than the crappiest TV from yesterday.

Oh my God, Ben got like this literal— I said don't waste a lot of money, like get a crap TV, like the first one that they sell you at Best Buy. Oh my God, it was not expensive. When I turned the TV on, I felt blind and I was seeing for the first time like all these new colors. I must have been— my TV must be over 10 years old.

Also, the word on the street is like Samsung Frame is coming out with 100-inch. That's the word on the street.

What streets are you hanging out on? Who talks about that?

That's what my people have told me.

Okay, and why do we care?

Because it only went up to 75-inch. Oh, frame TV.

And how much is the 100-inch going to be? $3 million?

No, probably like 10 G's.

That's insane. When I got the biggest 70-inch TV from Best Buy— frames sold separately— I just got like the biggest TV ever that I'm loving for like $400.

Great.

Yeah, it's like 75 inches. 70.

No, but that frame— I don't even care about the quality of the frame. The fact that you don't have to look at a TV, you can't put a price on it. You can't.

Well, you actually can buy just a frame. No, but, and like the black screen, you can get like artwork on your screen too, but it's not the same. I agree.

Thank you. Thank you for admitting it's not the same, but you can do that.

I'm just looking forward to the future where like all TVs are Frame TVs. Like right now Frame has the special technology so they're allowed to charge obscene prices plus Frame sold separately. When I bought my first Frame, I'm like, are you guys fucking kidding me?

Oh, I can't believe that they're cardboard. That's where cardboard was born.

I, that was like, That was peak consumerism. I was so upset. Like, the fact— that's just fucking crazy. You're buying the Samsung Frame TV. Frame sold separately, so it's just a TV.

Yeah. Also, it's crazy. I think like our children one day look back and be like, wow, you guys looked at those big black, black boxes in your living room, like that was your piece of art.

Yeah, and we loved every minute of it, but it's really ugly. I was without a TV in my bedroom for like 2 hours because Ben had to go.

What happened to your TV?

It just, just died, and we tried to like revitalize it. ChatGPT was like helping us, but it was like literally broken. The power button like fell off. It was time.

Oh, okay. And now is it still hanging on the wall with the TV in front of it?

Yep.

Perfect. Yeah, perfect.

I have 2 TVs.

Mike TV.

But the 2 hours that I didn't have a TV, like, I actually felt like I was living in House on the Prairie. Like, it was insane.

In a farm.

I'm ballerina farm. Like, I was about to put on my Hill House dress and start making butter. Like, it was insane.

Make a pargy loaf. Are you ready for pargy loaf summer PLS?

I am. You know, I was actually placing a grocery order so that we have like some bread. I did get one loaf though, just like because you always take a few days to get started.

It's true, it's true. I have to activate my starter.

Girls gotta eat.

It's fine. But also because like there are sourdoughs like in town, like Hamptons course.

Yes, don't worry about us, we will not be missing a meal.

Don't worry about us, we'll find some bread.

We always do.

The place looks great.

Well, it always does.

Let's get into the Fast Five stories that you need to know.

And the Fast Five stories that—

comment on my, on my hoarse voice.

It doesn't sound hoarse.

It doesn't. I feel like all the comments are—

okay, now it does. You just like cracked like a 13-year-old boy the whole time. You didn't even is victim energy.

Well, I feel like I just have to like address it because people are going to be hearing it. I don't know what's going on.

I can't help it. Guys, sound off in the comments. Did you realize, or am I, am I like in my own head? But I, I swear to God, you sounded exactly the same.

Oh, okay, good. I'm glad to hear it because my voice is my, um, means of income, you know. My voice is my tool. My voice is my tool.

My voice is my tool.

Um, but let me know if you heard it, if, you know, I'm just I'm feeling insecure about it.

Thank you, Sash Turt.

You're welcome.

Okay, Jelly Roll and Bunny Xo, the podcast dropped. Bunny Xo, um, released a podcast Thursday night or Friday night, um, explaining the situation and dropping a couple bombshells, including the fact that they are expecting a baby together via surrogate.

Okay, I wasn't sure if she was actually pregnant or like they were pregnant yet. Or if she— they were still planning to have a baby, because she said, 'We're still having a baby,' and it's like, the baby's on the way. The baby is, like, conceived.

The baby is on the way.

Oh wow.

From what I understand, yeah, she's still— the way I list— I listened up until that part, and it sounds like they— she talked about how they struggled with IVF, like, for a very long time, right?

So I thought that they were just, like, still on that journey together, but, like, not as a married man and woman.

Here's what— they're soulmates They're twin flames, they're best friends, they're expecting a baby together, and they're getting divorced because being married is no longer tenable.

One of these things is not like the other. Like, literally, why? I hate when people do that. Like, there's obviously a reason, so stop telling— like, I hate when people act like we're stupid. Like, we are so in love, we are meant for each other, we are best friends, there's nobody in this world I trust more, and I'm getting a divorce.

He said— she said, we have been the most unconventional couple that you guys have ever encountered. We're going to co-parent together. Jay is my best friend. Like, this isn't what you guys think this is. Nobody cheating on the other person. It's literally just we served our purpose for each other.

Well, it does kind of feel like that rumor that we heard was that like he's just on a really spiritual journey, becoming much more religious, and it's not really taking in the same way for her. That maybe does align with what she's saying, maybe.

But like, to the point that they can't stay married even though they're best friends, twin flames, soulmates?

Yeah, right. They were married for so long that I feel like now that there's a baby in play, like You could just try a little bit harder. Do you know what I mean? Like you were together when like you, when there was less at stake and now there's more at stake.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. And I just wanna say, I feel like the fact that they love and respect each other so much, like does make for a great co-parenting situation. Um, the baby's gonna be fine. The baby's gonna be good. But like, but like you were married this whole time without a baby. So like, no.

And like, what about, okay, so maybe this period right now, especially the baby's via surrogate. So maybe like, this spirit, it's been not like they want to stay married, but like, what about try marriage with a baby? Like, maybe it'll be just the thing, you know?

It's like, it's just kind of crazy to like call it off.

Just give it a shot. Like, you could always divorce like 2 months after the baby's here. Like, if it's like, oh no, but it might like fuse you back together, might fix everything.

I know you're not supposed to like think that way, but you could like—

for 2 people who love each other, twin flame, soulmates, best friends, who've been married for like together for 20 years, this could very small, you know, maybe like £8.

Yeah, this confused me even more. And you know, I told you that they have like a large constituency of haters, um, and it's also like they quickly— like, there's a— it's very easy to fall down the jelly roll hole and then you're like wearing a tinfoil hat. There's like a lot of conspiracy theories.

Oh, I saw some stuff. I saw some stuff about your wife.

Yeah, I don't know the in-depth, but I know like a girl named Nicole is like, she keeps her foot on his motherfucking neck, like He cannot function.

I hate that for them. But I did hear about a preacher's wife.

I— and there's also like a video.

Oh yeah, where he's like railing about something.

The pastor on the couch.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I didn't know what he was saying and who he was saying it to.

I hear your voice now.

Thank you. You hear me?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've been heard.

Um, so like none of these things are smoking gum for me. I, I don't listen to the rumors and nastiness, but obviously—

oh, I, I would never listen to the rumors and nastiness.

Obviously something's like going on to the point of getting divorced when they've been through so much.

Not only have they been through so much, let's say it is as she said, like, there's literally nothing wrong, we're just like getting divorced. When you have a baby on the way, that's like not a decision that you make for no reason. And she's saying that there's no reason.

She also said a lot, like, I'll put it in the book. She's like, if I ever write a book, I will give you like the dirty details of like what this happened and this happened, that happened. But right now, high level, everything's okay. They're She said, he's better to me in divorce than in marriage. Like, the divorce is going to take like 2, 3 weeks. He's giving her the house that they built, like this huge compound they're building with like multiple homes, giving it to her like very amicable.

Yeah, they are like clickbaiting this a lot. Like, he posted a link to her podcast and, you know what I mean? Like, I don't know, there's something really weird about this whole thing.

Like, there's a piece missing.

Absolutely.

Just one piece.

Okay, it's not helping. Like, because the whole— this is a very mysterious situation, and the fact that they do have all these rumors and nastiness and conspiracy theories like surrounding their brand, this is not helping. Because I am curious now. I feel like something's off.

Yeah, I just—

whereas before I really thought these people were haters and I was like, leave them alone.

Yeah, I don't know what it could be. I don't know. But also, like, Jelly's gonna roll. Like, we don't know this man. Like, he doesn't move the same way like that most do.

Jelly's gonna roll. Title! If someone out there is listening, he needs to do that like in a song.

Jelly's gonna roll. Like, the two of them are not You and Bunny—

Bunny is gonna EXO big time.

Yeah, so like they're moving in their own way, right?

Only as Roll and EXO can, can do, can roll.

Only as they can roll.

Oh man, I can't believe I did a PFFB without telling you that I threw out my neck this weekend.

I heard it through the grapevine.

Oh my God, it's been debilitating. I woke up Saturday morning— oh my God, I have an Icy Hot on right now. I mean, I'm actually— I know You see me, you see glamorous fitness model. I'm in hell. I know you see me as like the face of the beauty industry. She has this edit with YouBeauty. I know you guys, you have no idea what's going on underneath. I have the biggest pain or struggle. Yeah, I, I know people think that of me, like that I don't edit. And it's like, how many people that have an edit like also have a broken neck? None. I am one of one.

It's definitely something you wouldn't expect.

Yeah, I'm so glad you get it from someone with an edit. That's what I'm saying. So fucking frustrating. Nobody gets me except for you. I see you. Thank you. And you know what? I hear you.

And is your neck still bad? Because that was like— oh, that was yesterday. I heard about it.

Oh my God, you guys, it's horrible. I've never gotten that. I want to talk to the people at Icy Hot. Like, why is your main product, like, not like your patches— why is it tiny? Like, why do I have to go searching for the extra extra large? Like, the extra large don't make me feel fat. It's what the— who throws out their back in one little area. Like, you need a big patch. Yeah, I finally got the big ones. It took on my whole back, and every time I peel it off, because I change it every couple of hours, I'm in hell.

I'm sorry you're experiencing that.

It's devastating. Like, hashtag this is 31.

I also forgot to tell you that I'm helping. Advil can't even touch.

I don't know, I take it, I take it, but I don't know.

I guess maybe it'd be worse like without.

I also forgot to tell you guys, like, last weekend when I was upstate, I sprayed my ankle like while putting on pants. It's insane, like, the shit I go through. Yeah, while also having an edit.

The duality of coaches.

The duality of editors. I need to change my, um, Instagram bio, like, podcaster and editor.

Yes, you do. Our next story is a twofer because we have some motherhood news first, I guess, including Bonnie XO's. But Anne Hathaway is pregnant, expecting her third baby with her husband Adam Shulman. Anne Hathaway, who is 43, is expecting her third baby with Adam Schulman. She shared a video on Instagram announcing the exciting news, wearing a flowy white dress and then showing us a bump.

So cute. Um, like, I was genuinely shocked.

Mm-hmm.

Like, obviously I just— she's not in my bucket of people who, like, I'm waiting for pregnancy announcements for. I thought she was done having kids and, like, I just think she's 43.

And, like, the era she's been in is very much like, girl boss hustle, done having my children snatched.

Yeah, right. Like an era I'm excited to be in.

Yeah. So it's crazy for her to, like, she crossed the Rubicon and crossed the back over.

Come back and slum it with us.

Yeah.

Um, but love that. Like, seriously love to see women out here doing it all. Um, the pregnancy announcement was so Anne Hathaway.

Yeah, it was, and it was cool.

I like a fresh new take on the announcement, and the timing could not have been better. Like, Devil Wears Prada wrapped, promo's over. She needed her 12 weeks. She looks like she's a little bit further along than that also.

Yeah, she does. Like, if she is doing Yesteryear, the main—

is she pregnant?

The main character is always pregnant.

Oh, of course.

So she could like film her pregnancy scenes, or maybe she filmed her not pregnant scenes like a couple weeks ago and she could like do her pregnancy scenes now.

Interesting.

Just a thought.

It's actually— I don't want her—

good, you know, you think like, oh, I'm pregnant, I can't be in a movie. Well, actually, if you do Yesteryear, you're always pregnant.

I don't want, um, Anne Hathaway to work too hard. I feel like she— I feel like she definitely has a complex because she was like so hated and she was like doing all the right things, but like still got hated because that's just like life. And now she's so beloved and she keeps like killing it. I feel like she's afraid to take time off. She has not stopped working in the last 5 years. It's like movie, Bus Club, another Club Bus. Yeah, well, I want her to know it's okay.

I think she like just entered that phase of like hustle, you know, her kids were bigger. Yeah, get it done. And now I think she'll go back to like, you know, the nest mode.

She garnered enough goodwill in these last couple of years. I feel like she's really cemented herself as like a beloved A-lister. It's good to take a little break too.

Yeah, but also like Margot Robbie had a baby and like just kept on going.

Yeah, she's built up for him.

I think if you like, like, playing your schedule like as an actor, you can take like the time postpartum and then get back to work. We might not even realize that you left based on how your movies come out. Sometimes you film the movie, comes out 2 years later, and she's a producer, so she gets to call these things. Same with Margot Robbie, correct? So also Jen Affleck. From Secret Lives and Wives announced that she's pregnant with baby number 4 with her husband Zach Affleck. So if you watched the most recent season— well, every season it seems like they're getting a divorce. And then after the season aired, she started like posting clickbaity, like, I'm in a new home, new era, new me, like I'm leaving my husband. And no, they're expecting a baby.

That's great. Um, like pregnancy announcements I took personally— hers and Olivia Culpo— like, because those were my sisters. And it's like, we're all still freshly postpartum, what are you guys doing getting pregnant? Yeah, it was shocking.

Definitely. Jen Affleck is a shock given the fact that she feels like she just had a baby. She has 3 kids. She was like, Dancing with the Stars, marital struggles on the show. But I just feel like clearly her and her husband are not getting divorced and they just like tease us with that and use it as a storyline. Um, and so people like judge her then when she posts stuff like this. And like, I would never, I would never judge. Like, I think it's amazing. I think they're happily married and like they're not going anywhere. So stop showing us your dirty underpants.

Well, that's the thing with the Utah Housewives, like, they're not gonna let, like, having bad husbands, having gay husbands, having—

they're not gonna let that get in the way of their happy life and their dreams.

I like that about these women. It's like, yeah, I have a terrible husband, okay, I'm pregnant. Like, yes, yes, I love that. Connor, like, cheated on you, was on multiple apps. Like, yes.

But I'm not talking about Connor because I could, I could talk— I could do a whole podcast series about Connor Leoffit.

I'm talking like anyone who's going through a hard time in their marriage, like, you have to look at Connor.

Every time we do Dear Toasters, I'm just like thinking of Connor and Whitney. And then with Jen and Zach, they do this thing where like their storyline is that they're constantly on the brink of divorce, and I just think that that's not true. And so it feels like very cheap that that's what they're selling when they're clearly in a happy marriage and nobody's going anywhere.

Or like you— they're in this stage of like having babies, having young kids, and like it's just stressful. And like what we see reflects that. Like it's just a hard time to be married. Like be intimate, date night. Like, oh my God, I have to tell you something.

Okay.

I watched the first episode of The Valley when my TV broke. Ben went to Best Buy. I had like an hour to kill, so I opened my computer. It was like on Peacock from Love Island. I was like, okay, sure, I'll watch The Valley. The show really upsets me.

Like actually, I've seen a lot of stuff that's going on and like I think it would be upsetting.

Okay, I didn't even see this because I only watched one episode, but I did end up seeing— you saw the Kristen in the airport thing?

I sent it.

Oh my God, going post— they're— her and Naya are 3 months postpartum, and it's probably hard for Kristen to be postpartum with Naya. This is her 4th go-around. She's just one of those like super mom, like super producer, like breastfeeding with her titty out, like— and Kristen's new to this and she's just like struggling. She's very frazzled, and I don't think she has good support because the villain of this show is Luke. Luke is— she's 3 months, 12 weeks, not even 12 weeks postpartum. He's on about being intimate, intimate, intimate. It's like, shut the fuck up. Yeah, Kristen's like, first of all, most people aren't intimate 12 weeks later. And Kristen's also just a first-time mom and she's struggling. Like, she is. She doesn't have any help and she's just wanting to do it all herself. And he doesn't shut the fuck up about being intimate, intimate, intimate. So much so that he like needs to talk to a guy. So he brings over like the blind leading the blind Jesse, who I hate. And he's like, yeah, I mean, it's important. Like, normalize not having sex 3 months after you had a baby. Like, I just can't.

And the show was very upsetting to me, like so much so that I actually had to turn it off.

Yeah, like the Danny and Nia stuff is really bad.

It's bad. Um, you know, she moved to Santa Clara.

She moved to Santa Clara. Of course she did, because she's a queen.

She's a queen for that. She puts on too much. I will not be watching it. Like, very upsetting. And then like, they do a whole series about Zach moving in with, uh, Benji. Benji. Yeah, he's still there, you guys.

Benji is the original Dino.

If you know, you know.

If you know. I can't believe Benji's still around.

Jackie, don't watch it. It was like genuinely one of the most upsetting episodes of television.

Yeah.

And then like Michelle, who I actually love, I don't know, like, cuz I'm not a part of like the Valley constituency, so like every time I pop in, I'm sorry, I always love Michelle. And that's just because like she was married to the devil and she survived. Um, and you know, she's dating Dr. Dre now. Mhm. And Andy actually asked her about it. And I really respected the fact— like, now I understand more. Andy was like, has he— like, are you serious? And all the questions were like, yeah, we're seeing each other, yeah, we're serious. Has he met your daughter?

No.

And she was saying that Aaron, the guy she was dating last season, like, broke up with her. Yeah, he literally just broke up with her out of the blue. She was like, I've literally never been broken up with. I was shocked. Like, it was almost funny. Like, I was shocked. And she was so upset because she had to explain to Isabel, like, that this guy's not coming around. And so I think she takes it really seriously introducing someone to her daughter, which makes me respect her a lot because now Jesse's bringing around his crazy new girlfriend, and like the girlfriend has to be with Isabella. Like, so I just want to say, I don't know what the fans think, but like Michelle's my queen. Sorry.

Yeah, I feel like it's split sometimes, and I feel like it's just season dependent. How is Lala?

Oh, she's like very much a supportive character. Like, she's not there yet, um, but I like her. She like spits facts. And, um, Janet is on Ozempic. Like, she looks so good.

Did she say that, or you just know that?

Well, it's obvious because then Zach, like, they obviously— he's in his apartment with Benji like shooting up Ozempic because he also lost a lot of weight. He's like, at least I'm being honest, like kind of digging at Janet. Oh cool, whatever. Janet looks great, like the best she's ever looked.

Cool, Zach.

Yeah, like I cannot watch a show, it's bad for my mental health.

I agree.

Um, and I also think it makes LA look terrible. Oh, like these are all wildly successful people who like live in the ugliest houses and like it's just I just feel like, I don't know, it makes LA look very unattractive to me.

That's hysterical. Um, so that's your pregnancy news of the day.

Huge.

Our next story, Taylor Swift.

And it's like the people in the Valley probably like have more successful— maybe at the time, because it's like, it's supposed to be like Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, and they all live in like pargee houses with like so much land. And when the show started, they probably had less money than the people on the Valley, and like the people in the valley, like their houses are just like—

like you're saying Utah living looks better.

They're like $2 million shacks.

Uh-huh.

It's crazy.

Yeah.

Whereas like, you know, the Utah women are living like in $500,000 homes with 3 acres.

Yeah. And then they go to the park with like all the mountains behind them.

Correct.

And they go to the park like with, you know, needles.

And that's your real estate news.

Our next story, Taylor Swift's Rhode Island mansion, uh, was busted, bustling and bussing this weekend. Um, people thought she was having a bachelorette party. There was like tents set up right by her house.

Um, it looked like a wedding. I think the first like a couple of hours people thought it might have been the wedding, but then Travis was spotted like at NASCAR across the country.

Yeah, people were like taking pictures of the guests and it was like, I didn't think it was the wedding because like there was no one famous and it wasn't like the— we would know, it wasn't the outfits you would wear Taylor and Travis's wedding. Um, but there was lots of buzz at her house. Also a bunch of her friends like came to her house. I think she did her bachelorette party this weekend.

So the assumption is that this weekend was both the bachelor and bachelorette parties for Travis and Taylor, cuz Travis was like at NASCAR with Patrick Mahomes. Like he went to this club, the Birdcage or whatever. Um, and then she, I think, was in Rhode Island. They tented the backyard. Um, Also, reports are saying that Blake Lively was invited to the wedding, and I just want to say I really hope so.

I hope so too.

That would be—

because like, maybe they totally cooled off, but not to the point of like not speaking, right?

Like maybe she's not a maid of honor. She would have been at one point. Maybe now she's just a guest.

Yeah, I hope so as well.

That's a fun thing we have during the summer. I feel like summertime is kind of hard for pop culture. Like nothing goes on. Everybody's on vacation in the south of France except for us. And Taylor being married, getting married, is going to be like a huge 2 weeks for us. Thank God.

Yeah. I'm excited, and I hope we see stuff from the bachelorette party.

Yeah, like, is this gonna get shared?

I don't know, probably eventually. Some Polaroids they'll throw at us, some scraps. A Polaroid, some scraps. Speaking of someone who's probably at the bachelorette party—

what story is this?

This is story number— let me speak of someone, and then I won't be ready to continue speaking. You know what I mean?

Okay, just, just go.

Ad break after this story. I'll—

okay, okay.

Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez will be starring in a new animated alien movie called Not Alone from Illumination. So Timothée Chalamet and Selena are teaming up on a new animated film from Illumination. They did Despicable Me and Super Mario Brothers.

Um, yeah, I now— I follow Timothée on Instagram.

I did too.

And yesterday, movie announcement tomorrow, like, okay, Kylie, with the countdown, with a little rocket.

And I was like, interstellar sequel? No, he's doing an animated film called Not Alone. I just feel like—

I guess we just came off Oscar season, so like the movies he's going to be doing for the next few months are like more low stakes because the Oscars ones come out at the end of the year.

Um, happy for Timothée. He's, you know, a great actor, allegedly, because I've not really seen him in a lot. But, um, like Selena, I just feel like animated movies they should really be used as an opportunity to like give back, you know? Because I feel like a lot of people can do like the voice work, and so why not like uplift someone who needs the money? It's so true.

I guess like having the celebrity names does acquire like new people to come see it.

It's like kids don't care. Kids don't know who Timothée Chalamet is.

There are people who are like classically trained voice actors, and actually a friend of mine is like a full-time voice actress. And yeah, it's like a skill I feel that it should be more of a philanthropic, like, pillar of the Hollywood chamber.

Like, not to be a communist, but like, you have enough money and fame.

We like low-key have commie energy sometimes, don't you find?

I do find, but you know what I mean? Like, okay, great, give them $20 million.

That's not the take I thought you were gonna have here. Well, also, like, the take was that, like, I just can't wait for, like, the insufferable subtweets about Kylie from Selena Gomez, you know? Because, like, what's the history there? Kylie's Kaley's best friend.

And don't forget at the Golden Globes when Selena was whispering to Taylor and it seemed like she was supposed to hear Kylie. Kylie's just like—

but we don't know that. Like, that was just—

and by the way, when I say like don't give them $20 million, I'm not talking about Timothée because like I'm happy he needs to buy Kylie presents. Should be in this movie. Yeah, but like, I—

and maybe a larger statement—

maybe I'm just trying to come up with a reason why I don't want Selena Gomez in the movie. Yeah.

Um, And now that I think about it, like, it will be weird because Kylie and Hailey are like hardcore ride or die, like sister best friends. It will be weird. And I know Selena's gonna start stuff 'cause she's definitely in like one of her low-key crazy eras. And sometimes she takes breaks.

And she was talking shit about Kylie with Timothée to Taylor at the Golden Globes.

Selena and Timothée have worked together before. They were in that New York Woody Allen movie that was actually really good.

It was really good.

What was it called?

One Day in New York? Rainy Day in New York?

Rainy Day in New York.

Yeah.

Um, so these two have history, but like, not looking forward to the press tour.

But maybe I am looking forward, you know?

Yeah, maybe.

I just like—

I just could see like, I can't wait for like Selena's Instagram story about the mean girls of Hollywood, you know?

Totally. I'm ready for it. I'm ready.

Yeah, she's been quiet.

It's— yeah, we could use a little injection.

That's not what I thought he was going to be announcing. I did like— when I followed his Instagram And I saw the story yesterday. I was like, oh, I guess I'm now like a Timothée Chalamet follower. I had followed for the Knicks, but like, sure. And now I'm like one of his constituents just like waiting for his announcement.

Yeah. Also, like, I do think this movie is going to be in my life because it's about like a rocket ship going to space, aliens, etc.

But it's not Pixar.

No, Illumination. You know Illumination? Minions?

Oh, Minions. I don't like— that's a missed part of my—

Despicable Me and Super Mario Brothers. Like, Illumination is up there.

Legit. I heard that the new Toy Story is amazing. Have you seen it?

No, we were gonna go this weekend, but it didn't work out. So we'll go at some point. Maybe we'll go in the Hamptons if you wanna come.

Oh, I would love that. I heard it's so good. Like, it's very emotional and it's like sort of, um, I saw like a bunch of mamas, like crunchy mamas on TikTok, like walking out of the theater knowing my kid never had an iPad. I think it really paints the iPad out to be the devil.

Of course it does. Much like Camp Councilor, which I think they did steal sort of the message, but it's fine.

Um, 1,000%.

But like, is it— does it harp on the iPad? Like, I don't want to be like now like talking about iPads, you know what I mean?

Oh, right, right, right, right. No, I actually— I might focus a little bit on the iPad, you know what I mean?

I think the iPad's a major figure in the story, but maybe it will make the iPad the, like, a bad guy. So yeah, maybe that's good. I don't know.

Granny the Cook.

Granny the Cook.

Jackie's kids call the iPad Granny the Cook.

I have no idea why. iPad case, like the, like the big stupid blue thing, the blue thing with a strap on it. Granny the Cook.

Okay, like Granny the Cook.

And it's like, I don't think she just called it like one time and I was like, Granny the Cook. And like, I'm the one who's making it live on.

They are endlessly inspiring.

I'm like, which Granny the Cook do you want for their pie?

And they're like, which what? That's funny. Granny the Cook. Granny the Cook, one of the greats.

Makes no sense.

Yeah.

Um, also say I'm gonna be watching this movie, and like, I'm— so I'm watching Selena Gomez, and like, that's why I'm a communist.

Oh wow, okay. Selena's a commie.

You can say that like communism is born of hatred.

I would say so.

So that's what—

what are we even talking about?

That's what I'm experiencing here. I became a communist.

It's her communist origin story.

Yes, due to my hatred. Like, my hatred made me a communist because I'm looking for any sort of excuse because I can't submit my feelings.

Of course.

And that's communism, kids.

Okay, enjoy your iPad.

Our fifth and final story you're gonna love, it's, it's a TPN, Toast Passion News, because you probably haven't heard it. You'd probably have heard it. Argentina is asking the U.S. to block 13,000 parents from World Cup matches. So Argentina has reportedly provided the United States with a list of 13,000 parents requesting that they be barred from attending FIFA World Cup. The mayor of Buenos Aires said that these fathers have failed to make child support payments Owed to their children.

Obsessed.

Those who fail to meet a responsibility as fundamental as feeding their children must face the consequences. If they do not provide for their children, they will not be allowed in the stadium.

And what did they oblige the Americans?

It's unclear.

It is unclear, but they have the— actually, first of all, I'm obsessed with this, and I also— I've been wanting to talk about the World Cup, so I want to thank you for that. There's two things going on in the World Cup that I'm obsessed with. I don't know if you're following Kurosawa.

No, I'm not following.

So Curacao, like, qualifying for the World Cup is like the biggest deal ever, and they scored a goal. They lost to Germany, but they scored a goal. It's like the first time they've ever made the World Cup. It was the first goal scored. They like have no budget. They arrived on this like actually like windowless bus, like, and it was so emotional. They lost to Germany like by a lot, but they scored a goal, and it was like this insanely— and I was reading like the testament, like they were like, you don't understand, our population could fit in this stadium. It's like the biggest deal, the biggest thing to ever happen to Curaçao. They're like on the map now, you know? Like, it was so sweet. I wish you could see the video of them like pulling up, and they're like— they had a school bus that was like painted in Curaçao colors, and they're all just like looking out the window in awe. Like, it could make me cry. It is the most cutest thing ever. They're out, but like, still, it was a beautiful moment, like really beautiful. The other thing, it's like I can't even keep up with the World Cup, but like America is in it.

In it.

They won. They beat Australia or Austria. I can't remember which one because it said AUS. Um, I think it was Australia. It was a really big deal and they're like still in it. And so I think I'm gonna start following it because I thought like, who's—

no offense to everyone, it is—

yeah. Oh, there's a guy. There's a guy. Hold on. There's like everyone's obsessive. They beat Australia 2-0. No, Lionel is not American.

Oh right, he plays for Argentina.

Who's like the soccer star? And he's— oh, it's actually—

at least for Inter Miami.

So, so, so there is a guy— I think one of the American players is Nigerian, but the only reason he's playing on the American team is because when his mother was pregnant, she took a trip to America and wasn't allowed to fly back, so he was born in America.

What's his name?

I seriously have no idea. I like need— Messi's from Argentina.

Yeah, that's what I said.

Oh, sorry, I wasn't saying—

I actually, I only know that to be—

I'm starting to get—

we read a Golden Book about Messi last night, so I actually know his whole life story. It was actually amazing. He won the World Cup for Argentina at the age of 38.

I remember that because I remember Sarah Franklin like being really excited about it because she's Argentinian.

I remember the World Cup and like I didn't care which team won, but I knew that like Messi winning for Argentina like would be a big deal, and now he plays for Inter Miami.

I'm glad I'm having this like recognition, cuz like it's happening right now, and I think I want to like start following it a little bit, even though— I'm sorry, soccer is so boring. The games are so long.

Yeah, it's like hockey.

Most of the time nothing happens until it does.

Yeah, and I feel like it's like more fun to watch live and not on TV. Not every sport's like that.

Oh, you mean in person?

Yeah, like hockey, like you can barely see the puck on TV. Like, I just feel like it's more about the experience.

And then the golf US Open was yesterday. Some random guy won.

Wyndham Clark.

Not so random if you watch Full Swing. Oh, you know him?

If you watch Full Swing, yeah.

He's not like Scottie Scheffler, Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy.

Major to win your first major, or maybe it's the second major.

It's not his first because Ben said he's won something.

He's once— he won something once before and it was random, and now he's not random because he won a major, and now he's won two. Good for him. Yeah, I did just see that. Um, looking forward to seeing what it meant to him next year on Full Swing.

And because I, I'm like actively on Peacock because of Love Island and I'm no longer watching The Valley, I think I actually will be able to make space for FIFA World Cup.

Oh great.

But like, how do you guys know like what's going on? No, and like, like where do you find the schedule? Like how do I get— I'd like to get involved. Can you tell me how?

There's games everywhere, like LA.

Yeah, I don't get it.

That life. I should have gone to France versus Senegal and Mexico City, and I was invited to imagine in Miami. Yeah.

So are the teams like flying? That's like enormously inconvenient. No.

And it's like North America is hosting, so are there Canadian games?

Oh, because I was saying Mexico City, I thought it was an American thing.

North America, last I heard. I don't know.

Interesting.

But there's definitely stuff going on in Mexico.

Slay. Soccer's huge in Mexico.

It is.

Sorry, fútbol.

Well, those are the fast 5 stories. You absolutely needed to know them. And I just— I think more real-world consequences for men who don't pay child support is something that we should all be endorsing. Like, you can't go to the concert, you didn't pay child support. Like, yeah, the way you used to need like a vaccine card, you need— you need a child. I paid my child support card. 1000% restaurant, I paid my child support.

I feel like consequences is a great segue into Love Island, because I felt like last night's episode was very gratifying because you saw like the real-life consequences of the poor choices everyone in the villa has been making. Like the fact that any of these women for one second believed that any of these guys were going to stay loyal to them. Yeah, it was nice to see, like, because we've watched you all be so dumb that it's nice to now in real time— and I don't think this has ever happened where they get to watch like a live view of Casa Amor, right?

It's never—

I think it really highlights to production, like, desperately needing to shake things up and, like, break up every single couple. Every single couple right now is broken up in my mind, because even if someone comes back from Casa Amor and, like, doesn't choose that girl, their girl at home is not going to want them.

Yes. And, and then acted like animals. Now they're going to explore. And I think, like, historically, like, the girls don't really explore in Casa Amor when they have something, you know, because women are men are just like more loyal and lovely. Um, and so they needed to be shaken, be angry, see what's going on to really pursue. And they're getting 12 men in their casa more so that they can actually try and meet new people because they're also stuck and playing it safe in these horrible couplings that are either toxic or boring and fake.

Safe, fake. Yeah, so Casey and Anaya at this point are a complete shell company, like it's a fake-ass couple. So I have actually had no problem with how he acted at Casa Amor. Like, he's been saying— I don't know how many times he can say it— that he wants to explore. There's just nobody to explore. There's just chicken down.

Nobody.

He chickened out on the one girl he was gonna explore with, and so he's like, now he's committed to exploring, but it's like, with whom right now? So I have actually no problem with him. And I'm sorry, like, Anaya really has no ground to stand on. All they do is fight. They're in a fake-ass couple. They haven't like been kissing at night for quite some time. So I have no problem with him. I think the most shocking— I think at first like— so I thought if there was ever— I actually like do kind of believe in Sincere and Melanie now.

So here's what— Sincere is going to come back to Melanie, one, because nobody in Casa Amor wants him. Like, the girls, they were not interested in him. No one came in and said, oh, Sincere looks better in real life. I think— I don't think he's the most handsome one there, and I think they've seen the show and nobody's interested.

No. And the fact that all these girls were fighting over him, like, it was actually confusing because Sol and Melanie are both like insane-looking women, and he's not.

So no one's really going to be there to tempt him. And two, I think he really does like Melanie. And I think also a lot of these couples really like using people to fuel their toxic relationship, the way that Sincere and Melanie used Soul. She was just a pawn in getting them to get more into each other. She was never going to say— was a way to make Melanie jealous, bring her back. I think that Zach and Kaitlyn were just doing that with Kayla, but Kayla was never going to Kaleb. I think that she thought Zach's appropriate reaction would have been, oh, I don't want you to explore, let's—

but I understand, let's close off.

Of course. Instead it was, I don't want you to explore, so I'm going to go talk to your best friend.

So I feel that Kaida is so blinded by her like for Zach, and up until last night, like, so many of his red flags, I could see how she may be like, you know, they went unnoticed because just as viewers were eagle-eyed But that whole evening where— and then the next morning he didn't make her breakfast, like, jail. He is so immature, he is so jealous, he's so controlling. And I think she's like forgotten who she is because she was a bombshell and she is definitely top 3 prettiest girl in the whole villa, even with the new girls. Like, she's insane looking and she gets like strung along by this guy. And I really hope she stops liking him after because I thought maybe he would stay loyal. He was just as bad. They were all like barking at each other.

Like, the reason he didn't close off is for this exact reason, because if he had said to Kaida like, okay, don't talk to Caleb, I want to close off. She would have been— that's what she wanted to hear.

So happy.

She's only talking to Caleb because Zach literally won't close off with her. And then if he went to Casa, like, he wouldn't be able to have all this fun. So he might still choose Kate at the end, especially because nobody seemed like zeroed in on him. A couple of the girls were zeroed in on Bryce, Casey, Corbin.

Caleb just like fucks with everyone. Like, that's what everyone's saying about him, is like he's kind of the new Gabriel. He's like very freaky.

Corbin.

That's what I said.

You said Caleb, but they have the same name and it's very confusing.

They have the same—

like, when you write in the chat Caleb did this, I'm like, wait, why did Corbin do that?

Yeah, no, Corbin is just like kind of freaky. I think he likes everyone and everyone likes him. Like, he's very happy-go-lucky. It was a terrible episode for Kenzie because while she was in it for 3 seconds, the 3 seconds that she was in it for did more damage than anyone has ever done in 3 seconds of reality TV. Fuck you! With the split Big time loser energy. Like, sir, that was actually— I feel like people overuse the phrase secondhand embarrassment. Like, you just— if you're saying cringe, I felt deep secondhand shame when I was watching that sequence. Like, her being so mad, screaming fuck you, and then like Kaida's doing it too, like two big losers. And then Kaida walks away and Kenzie's not done. She humps the ground and splits down. I actually need her to go home after that. Like, she should actually be in Fijian jail for that, okay?

Yeah, well, I think she's having a really hard time because she is here for the heart rate challenge and her splits. And she was—

she was made for this moment.

She was like so ready. And so for the rug to be ripped out from under her— and I don't even think the girls are gonna get to do their thing.

No, of course not.

It seems as though in Casa Amor, the way they're going to be— you know, you get into a couple in Casa Amor, like, who's gonna be based on their heart rate in the challenge.

Oh, cute. They really slayed by telling the audience that there was going to be a TV. So we know, the girls don't know. They're getting dressed, they're practicing the splits. They come down, they see a big box with a bow, they think the boys are inside. And we know. The experience of knowing, like, was actually joyful.

Like, but also it was the experience. If we had had their experience of not knowing—

awful.

Like, I, I— it also would have been a good experience to be completely shocked that the boys are gone, there's no heart rate challenge, it's Casa Amor, here you go.

Sure, sure. I found it more gratifying no matter how you present it.

It was beautiful because it was an amazing concept.

Now the episode was an hour and 16 minutes, and I would argue that like a whole hour of it was watching the back-to-back heart rate challenges, the girls dancing on the Guys, it was a lot, and it was so unsexy, and it was so disgusting. I saw a tweet that was like, being a Casa Amor bombshell is one step above prostitution. Like, and when one of the girls was like, I'm a nanny, I, I actually died. And I posted it on my Instagram, and I feel like people are so like intent on misunderstanding me because they were like, what's wrong with being a nanny?

And I'm like, It's not what he meant.

There's nothing wrong with it as long as you're not a part-time prostitute. Like, there's not— imagine you see your childcare provider on TV in a thong dry humping and getting French fried.

That would—

whatever the fuck that is.

That would be like being a teacher and being a cast member on Palm Shell.

Yes, yes, yes. It— my jaw hit the floor. I think that was Tierra. I actually really liked her. I like her too.

I like her too. All the Palm Shell girls are insanely pretty.

But her nanny career is over.

Her now. Oh, but now she's gonna have an influencer career.

She just shouldn't have told her she was a nanny. It was just like very inappropriate.

Like, yeah, no, coming on there in that way, like, you have to have extreme confidence and sexuality and prowess, you know?

It was like being at a strip club.

Yeah, but they're not strippers. Like, they're just girls, right?

They're nannies. It was students.

There's students.

Also very, very homoerotic, the way that they would be like making out with a girl and like high-fiving each other, holding hands, looking at each other like at the same time when they were back in the bedroom, like practicing on each other. I'm sure you've seen that clip that's gone viral of Caleb grabbing Zach.

The whole season is homoerotic and the producers are loving that. I think they think they're producing like heated rivalry or something.

Yes, heated, heated island.

Yeah, it—

there was— I feel like if I was an alien and I came and watched that 30-minute double back-to-back heart rate challenge, like Not to be like morality police, but like, it was disgusting and it was really upsetting. Like, like, these are who we're watching, do you know what I mean? Like, these are our celebrities. Like, they're— it was disgusting.

Yeah, honestly, to me, like, it wasn't any different than what we're always watching on the show.

The bed challenge was really—

I was just really excited to like see new faces. The girls look like super cute and pretty and like I I just hate the villagers so much.

So much.

Really, really, I do. And when they were screaming fuck you, and like you see the girls' faces and they hear, and their faces just fall, and like, you guys look like the world's biggest assholes.

Losers.

I do not know how anybody there— like, I feel like a lot of the fans— I couldn't disagree more with like the Love Island fan base, but that's like the voting public, and like they'll have their way and they'll choose who wins the season or whatever.

The Love Island fan base is very young. Yeah, it's like a really Gen Z show.

They like love the 4 girls. They like—

do they? Oh my God, not me.

Like, love, iconic.

Um, I can't actually— can't imagine a bigger group of losers.

No, me neither. And like, as couples, they all stink.

Each one, I feel conflicted because I would love for the result of Casa Amor to be as many OG villagers go home. Like, they are not good TV. But then it's like, we're only halfway through the season, so we're really not going to get like big meaningful couples or like, because we're just basically starting over. In an ideal world, you never know. I need everyone to go home.

Yeah, I want— I like these girls. I need these girls to meet the new guys, cuz the guys need to, right?

That's what I'm saying, a new cast.

Yeah, no, I think they've, they've brought in a new cast, Claudia. They've brought in 18 people. Yeah, 12 guys, 6 girls.

Good. I feel like they— if you could tell how badly the season is going based on what happened last night, Yes, yes, you can.

You could smell that, like, the producers were like, okay, we need to shake, rattle the cage.

And all of our critiques of the show, I feel, are, um, completely fixed in Love Island UK. Like, I actually need— I think after this season, if things don't turn around, like, I think I'll just be switching permanently. Apparently it's like really cute, and like they kiss a little bit in challenges, but like kissing someone's a big deal, and they go on dates, and they have like 10 bombshells every day.

One day date.

There's not been one date. They have a ton of bombshells, and the bombshells aren't the villains, like, they're just castmates. Yeah, like, the way that they treated Sol and Jen was insane.

The— and why did we have no bombshells before Casa Amor? We literally had Sol, Jen, Caleb, Kaitlyn, and Gabriel.

And Kaitlyn and Gabriel came on like day one, so I don't know.

We've had 5 bombshells in 3 weeks, and now we have Casa Amor. That makes no sense. We've had no dates. I also feel like Casa Amor is early because they needed—

they had to push things up.

They needed like— but that's just like, you guys are doing a bad job. Yeah, I think every single— like, obviously Soul— I mean, Melanie and Sincere are toxic. I actually hate to see them on my screen now kissing as a couple. They make me sick. What they did to Soul, they just used her as a pawn. I feel sick. I don't want to see you. Go be happy, stay in love, I don't care. I'm sick from it, okay? I'll never get over it. Anaya and Casey, shell company.

Shell company incorporated.

Trinity and Bryce, I have hope for. But then every single time she talks about their relationship, she says the same thing. In the beginning, I didn't know if it— but every day we get stronger. Okay, like, it's been 3 weeks. Are you guys a couple yet or no? Or just talk about in the beginning how he's not your type and blah blah blah blah blah.

Nothing.

Even last night, she's talking like that. Like, when does the couple start?

Yeah, right.

And who's the fourth couple? Uh, Zach and Kaden.

Problematic, riddled with issues, riddled with issues. I hate him.

Kenzie and Corbin were never real, they were lustful, even though she thinks they were.

Oh my God. Oh, and I don't know if you know, like, Kenzie is actually getting so much hate. And I have to say, I, I do think that the Gen Z, like, they're— it's a chronically online Gen Z fan base, which is always going to make for like real disaster. But I do think they're really on to something with Kenzie. She's been accused of like having a black scent while speaking with Corbin. And like, when she was between Corbin and Caleb, the way she talked and the things that she said were so different. And you know what, let me tell you, people are 100% right. She's actually insane the way she talks to Caleb.

Send me Corbin, Corbin, Corbin, send me clips.

Like, when they were having the conversation about being lustful— I don't want to do it because like, don't do it.

Just send me clips next time you see it.

Now that I put you on to it, like, when she talks to the girls or when she talks to anyone, when she talks to Corbin, she's insane. That's so interesting because when I saw it, I was like, oh, you know, the fan base can be very like— and they're so mean to Sol. Like, they are just kind of crazy. But you know what, unfortunately they ate down with that. They're 100% right.

I'll keep an eye out.

Yeah, code switching as the kids say.

Well, I'm very excited for tonight. Like, so excited to see these new girls. They're beautiful. I just, I love them all.

They are.

I'm wishing them the best on their journey. I know.

And I feel like they all came in with like— and I think that production sort of is like being heavy-handed. I think there's a girl for Zach, there's a girl for Bryce, there's a girl for Casey. Like, everyone's getting challenged.

Yeah. And I think a lot of— I think Casey will obviously break rank, come back with someone new.

Tiara, I think, is his girl.

Yeah. I don't know if Bryce will.

I don't know if Bryce will either, only because like he's so unsexy and like he didn't raise any heart rates in that challenge. And I think that it's sort of going to be like a net-net zero.

I think he might. I think a girl might like him because he has a good personality.

Alana liked him, but she's already home.

Oh, without Alana, he might not stand a chance.

Yeah.

Um, I think that Zach is going to explore, and— but he's gonna come back to Kaita because, like, that's what he likes to do. Is— I bet— who knows what the girls are gonna do.

I would just love for Kaita to, like, commit to someone else.

She's like, how is she gonna like someone else in 2 days the amount that she likes Zach in 3 weeks? When when one of them said— you're—

when Anaya said, you're gonna throw away what we've had for 3 weeks, she's so unserious. And then she was like, oh, it's over, like, I'm about to go wild on these guys. And we're like, okay, sure, sure you are, sure.

Yeah, she's like—

it's just such an uncool group of girls, and it's such a legitimately, like, evil loser group of guys.

No, and like, when Melanie's like, fuck it, let's go make a fucking grilled cheese, fuck, fuck, fuck, like, every other word was Fuck these fucking guys.

Let's fucking go make a fucking grilled cheese.

Cool.

And then Mackenzie's over there, Kenzie, doing the splits with her fingers in the air. Loo-hoo-hoo-hoozer Island.

Someone out there, please remind me for Queenie of the Week.

Oh yeah, please remind me. Okay, there's not a Queenie to be found on this island. Ian.

Ian, that's my queen.

He makes me laugh.

That's my queen right there. I actually like feel sorry for him that he has to watch the show.

Me too. But he also does UK, so at least he has like that joy in his life.

Yeah, it's true.
