Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
And it's trying to report. Now go for it.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
So the winners of season seven of Love Island USA
were crowned last night. And before you get a little
weird about spoilers, basically this is like a sporting event.
So if you loved it, you watched it last night,
and if not, you've seen all the spoilers online already.
But Amaya, Papaya, and Brian won the one hundred thousand

(00:24):
dollars cash prize after six weeks in the villa and
six weeks of me being glued to my television. Amaya
was a huge fan favorite for a while because of
her unapologetic personality, making up words, she would make up songs,
and everything she does has been viral all summer long,
like on social media, her all of her audio from

(00:46):
the show. But after they won, Amaya gave a little speech.
She said, this is a message to everyone out there
who is misunderstood. No one should ever be tamed, and
there's always someone out there for you who was going
to love you for you and appreciate all of your
craziness or whoever you are. Don't ever settle for nobody,
and that is really the message of this season. With

(01:07):
a Maya being crowned the winner. I feel grateful that
she won because this was like the major life lesson
that was put out there. But the reunion they announced
will air on Peacock on August twenty fifth, And that's
a wrap of something that I have watched every single
day for the last six weeks of my life.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Thirty six every single day is for Tanya of this season.
Let's go back to what she said about no one
should ever try and tame you. That's an interesting concept
because do you experience that to people try and tame
you when you're in a relationship. Do you tame yourself
at the beginning and less later? I mean, I have
a very good friend who is tame in his relationship.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
But not second side of it.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
The second he's out on the golf course, this guy
is untamed and maybe untamable. Oh he he just has
to like let it all out, you know what I mean? Like, yeah,
he tames himself and then untamed himself pretty quickly. But
I assume no one has ever tamed you, Tanya and
stayed with you.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Like if they try and tame you, would you could?

Speaker 3 (02:11):
You could? Like some people, I think they might want
to but that's not somebody that you want to be around.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Yeah, I feel like I feel like the word tamed
mean is like has such a negative connotation.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
It seems like a yes, I agree.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
With you, because yes, I feel like I dated people
who wanted to or I was too much for them,
meaning like they would they wanted to like tame me down.
And I feel right Robbie, when I met him, he
never wanted to tame me. But I do feel like
our relationship tamed me a little bit, if that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
And in what way though, I'm curious.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
So like, he didn't try to tame me, but there
are certain things like that. Maybe I would overshare that,
maybe I don't share out of respect for him or
our relationship. So I think in that sense, maybe just
growing up, you know, just.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Say it's called. It's called. The years are going by,
the wisdom is greater, we are getting wiser. Maybe all right, it'
