Tonight, today we're going to be talking Love Island, UK. Hey, my name's Will DeFries, in the studio with me today. Today we're going to be talking Love Island, UK. My name's Will DeFreeze. In the studio with me today, the human Daybed himself, Dave Ruff. Did you say Daybed or Davebed? You could have done either. I know. I was tossing it around in my head before the pot.

I wasn't sure which direction I wanted to go. Yeah, they call me the Terrace. The Terrace Terrorist? Yeah, the Terrace Assist. yeah they call me the terrace the terrorist terrorist yeah the terrorist assist i don't know that's something we should have worked out i don't know i feel like what's your reputation for going to the terrace a lot like you start to become tom yeah like you start to get like just raked over the coals from people because people just don't want you to go to the terrace at all times tom's still up on that terrace they should they should name it after him yeah they should the tom memorial terrace three different three different women right i think so pretty quick succession shout out oh yeah it's just me and will today we're gonna talk love island yeah we don't have dylan today dylan's just at the beach and chocos

yeah he's looking absolutely diced up he's got his chocs on he could go on love island and be a problem he's just a little older than some of the other contestants yeah by at least a decade what's the oldest 30 don'ts for i think the oldest oldest contestant i've ever heard on there's 30 don'ts 41 builds i think he's 42 though okay yeah yeah okay well i don't hate that can you imagine him talking to like what's her face the 19 the 19 year old on this season no in fact i can't imagine anyone no one's talking to her she must have nothing to say because she's a very cute girl and no one is really every scott we'll get to scott in a minute scott just basically dunked on her as he had to choose her.

I made the decision yesterday while eating lunch. I had a Ross bowl and lunch yesterday. It was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with some Zaps voodoo chips and half of a peach. And I ate that lunch while watching Unseen Bits because I had nothing else to do. And what I discovered is that, unfortunately, I think I always forget her name because she's such an NPC on this show at this point. What's her name? Amber. Amber. Amber just needs some time.

She needs to get some reps in because she has no place on this show. She's still uncomfortable. need to get some reps in because she just is she has no place on this show she's still uncomfortable they did a thing during unseen bits where they had each character in the confessional impersonate celebrities what she did was an abomination who'd she impersonate no one that we would have even known and she did such a bad job that like i can't believe they even included her in the montage do you know who guess guess who the best person at uh impersonations is jess for the females new ella for the males by far scott oh really did they do anyone we know scott does a conor mcgregor that if you shut your eyes you would just think it's conor mcgregor which makes sense because i guess it'd be easier for them to do that kind of thing yeah right who scotty and scott well scotty too haughty yeah i

think so not that connor's welsh but just um it's like us doing a southern accent we probably know intricacies that like we wouldn't know about the intricacies of like a british accent or irish accent okay okay scott i mean they need to show more of that i guess that's what unseen bits is for because you know even to this point it's like scott fine just doesn't seem like he's got much but people really really like scott over there well yeah they said they sent his two oppositions home they fucking got rid of his ops they cut their heads off ruthlessly and just sent them home packing he he threw uh he threw an absolute shot in movie night leah and then leah is gone like two days later what was the what was the squad's consensus on that shot that he took at leah that night on last week's episode i unfortunately don't not listen. Hated that it was Leah.

Yeah. I was not 100% sure that she was deserving of that. I don't feel like she wasn't the only one or maybe the one at all saying, okay, none of the girls wanted you. That being said, I was glad to see him buck up a little bit and show something i liked the

spice that he offered there i'm glad he did it i feel bad i did like leah but i also think that leah montel i did think their days were kind of numbered regardless yeah it seemed like the vibe changed after uh casa after movie night even though it doesn't seem it didn't seem like it didn't seem like montel did anything too bad, but also he was really awkward in owning up to it, and it took him a long time. Yeah, it seemed like Leah was a little bit one foot out the door on him. It also seemed like Montel did not know how to handle a situation

where he was getting called out for things that he did on video and didn't have an answer for. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Where should we start today? How do we want to go about this? was getting called out for things that he did on video yeah didn't have an answer for right yeah yeah where should we start today how do we want to go about this we have a lot to cover dave we just we really are going to be starting today at the movie night fallout yeah i think that's a good spot we can um we can i think it started with uh the the guys confronting uh mitch a little bit on what they saw at movie night. That's something we didn't see in that episode, but we saw it this week was, you know, Zach and Sammy kind of being like, hey, man, you're moving like snakes.

Snake boy, I believe, is the term Zach used. Man like that, I think, are bottom of the barrel. I'll be honest, using another brother's name to pull up your own ting, that's crazy, Tyreek. Yeah. And that's facts. I think I did that early high school. I'll admit, I think I was honing my game at that point. I think I might have torn down some of the homies once in a while. I've definitely done that in high school. And I think I learned from it. Yeah. I think everybody does that in high school. That's kind of something you got to learn the hard way on that kind of code yeah yeah it takes one call

out from someone on it to to straighten you out I feel like Mitch got that call out um I don't know like Mitch Mitch he did apologize to everybody I thought his apology was great I thought he handled it very well and seemed genuine. He's just kind of a dum-dum. I'm officially on Team Mitch, I guess. Like, I don't want him to leave. He's our lovable idiot. I don't want him to leave either.

I will get to where he's at now, and I've got some issues. But that being said, I did not want a rift to develop between Zach, Sammy, and Mitch. Because for some reason, the show's more enjoyable when there's squads. For a dude watching it, when there's a bro squad developing, it's just a lot more fun. So this year's squad, it really starts and ends with the two best friends being Sammy and Tyreek, right? I think. it's hard to pin down it's not as defined as uh tom and casey and but like when when sammy was going through it

on the jess front which like i don't even know what part it was of their going through it like they their situation has gotten so convoluted that i don't know where to start they're exhausting dude uh but like tyreek they're all the dudes were huddled around and tyreek was like everyone out of here let's i gotta talk to sammy yeah and i was like okay i love this i love that tyreek has just cleared everybody out yeah he's gotta have some one-on-one time yep yeah um but yeah i thought mitch handled it well apologized still looks like an ass but it's funny funny how his status and how the entire dynamic between him and the guys has changed as he's got two women interested in him. Yeah. It's a first as a guy who went from having none.

Yeah. Yeah. Got Uzi and Katie linking up. Do you believe them? Yes. I don't believe them. I believe that they – I believe it's a two-horse race right now to win this thing and they are one and the other is zach and molly see i think zach and

molly haven't made the shade i think they're they're the odds on favorite but why do you really katie and uzi no no i think zach and molly are the favorites no but you think katie and uzi are still like up there yeah just because just because they're both very beautiful people. And they've just kind of taken a back seat this week. Okay. Outside of Katie's cheers, her toast, that we'll get to in a minute. But it seems like they're staying out of it.

And I don't see them having any... I think they're having a smooth ride to the end. They're definitely going to be top three. I'm learning quickly, and this was really after the two Scott naysayers went home. I'm learning quickly that I didn't have as good of a read on the British voting as I thought I did. Yeah. Like I didn't have them writing for Scott as hard as they're seemingly writing for Scott. I didn't have them being anti-Leah and Montel.

I feel like that's a Montel play. Yeah, that was surprising. I don't know, man. That came out of nowhere. Because you had the other couple, I mean, you had other couples standing up that could have been sent home. Jess and Sam, I would have been surprised if they got sent home. I would have been surprised, too.

I think she's well-lik that like she can she can carry out his uh his kind of fuckboy energy every once in a while i don't think he's a total fuckboy but like he definitely has been leaving himself open for way too long considering how uh how likable jess is and how blunt she's been about wanting to be with him they're they're back and forth is is so exhausting the producers are just putting him through it too like it's not being made easy on them with a lot of other stuff but like the producers even are just making it hard on them they can't be together for more than like two nights yeah they didn't sleep in a bed together until after casa more if i'm not mistaken i think that's right yeah yeah. Which is crazy. That's wild. They've been together since almost the beginning.

Facts. Word. Randy's just texting on there. No, dude, I think... Randy, is Love Island... I've asked you this before. Is Love Island better or worse than The Bachelor or the exact same? Because all of this is just forward to you.

Probably the exact same. Yeah. I don't know. The Bachelor was kind of fun with you guys dunking on the guys more. Yeah, I feel like we like the guys more on of fun with you guys dunking on the guys more you're only yeah i feel like we like the guys more on love island and we'd like to dunk on the guys more we've dunked on mitch quite a bit dylan mainly but i'm like back i'm in on mitch now i'm like now i want the best for mitch because i'm not ready for him to go home agree um we gotta talk about the recoupling, which I guess happens episode 42, the second one that we're going to get to.

But, you know, we've had a lot of bad, Mitch, again, goes back to him, a lot of bad speeches when it comes time to recouple.

You know, Mitch had his about, I think it was, was it Lee? Who was it? I don't even remember. And her great body. It was just awkward.

It was creepy. He's just awkward. Well, Scott, the last person he could pick was Amber. Amber. And this is after he had been fancying Abby. And obviously Mitch picked Abby. So he goes, he is like, all right, well, obviously I'm taking Amber. But just the way he went about that was,

he could have at least dressed it up and been positive about it. He sounded so dry and so bummed. Is this a speech where he said like, and obviously this is just going to be a Fred thing. Like obviously. Yeah, he said he wished he could have picked someone else, which is hilarious. Because he wanted to pick Abby, correct?

Yeah. Yeah, he's pretty aged for Abby. He was, and we'll see what happens now um but yeah scott scott's got to do better this is also the episode where we have molly or no was it the episode before is it this episode it this episode? It's all in the same area where Molly tells Katie that she and Zach are totally closed off. But as it turns out, Zach and Molly have not had that conversation yet. Yeah, we learn the next one after Katie does her toast. It goes off the rails a little bit at the end for some reason.

Yeah, Zach wasn't real sure about that. Zach's reaction was little bit at the end for some reason yeah zach uh zach wasn't real sure about that zach's reaction was not what you're looking for can we talk about zach and molly just in general just as an entity of this show because i think i think that they might have the single easiest road to being likable and being famous than any other couple i've ever seen on this show before it kind of feels that way like so right when the show debuted season 10 molly got a ton of endorsements in the uk like she was already getting contracts for stuff because like modeling contracts whatever and apparently she set a record i don't know who's doing the record keeping there but apparently she did i think they like buxom blondes that makes sense she's very

beautiful yeah uh they when they sent her away that was ruthless at the time but everyone started everyone then felt bad for her because she got sent away so ruthlessly so we got the pity play with her then they bring her back in casa more which obviously she's going to get back with zach because they had a good thing going so it took all the temptation away from zach and casa more which took all the unlikeability possibilities away from him and casa more yeah so now he's just been essentially in a couple after going through a couple girls in the beginning and sorting through everything he's just been coasting ever since it's the easiest route i've ever seen on buff island i i feel like he's uh i'm happy for him i guess but at the same time i want him to be used differently i don't think

he's being used uh to his full potential in this offense is what i'm saying because he was really fun when he was mixing it up yes grafting things of that nature but now it's you kind of forget about him like he i feel like last's episode, he was barely in it. No, they're barely in it at all. Yeah. And they're kind of going with the – I forget his name. The guy who won last season in snow. Oh, yeah.

We forgot his name last week too. He's boring as fuck. That's why we forget his name. We definitely forgot it last week. The reason they won was because they were clearly so into one another that they didn't care about anybody else and they stopped talking to everybody else and they were just like lovey-dovey and in it to win it yeah and that's what we're seeing now is zach and molly which is fine i guess she was pretty good at her impersonations but i think she had a very british

uh repertoire isn't she an actress yeah i don't know if she's an actual actress or if she's just doing modeling stuff. Okay. But she was pretty good at hers. I was looking forward to seeing her based on what we know about her. I need to watch that. Let's talk Shade Challenge. This is a good challenge. One of the best they do on the show,

I think. A lot of people went the Scott and Amber route. mainly the scott route but yeah yeah yeah which i get i also feel like in this challenge people kind of like chose one person and then latched onto that we're like well i don't want to rock the boat by like diversifying who i'm throwing shade at yeah uh the uzi the uzi kat Katie, Tyreek, Ella dynamic was, I thought that was going to get pretty juicy. Yeah.

It's since died down. Obviously, Tyreek's going to want to throw shade at Uzi. Uzi's handled this thing like completely respectfully. Yeah, he has. He's been the opposite. Who's the dude that Sha oh shaq's shaq's uh nemesis oh i don't remember from casa that she brought back yeah that guy like was leaning into it and was like enjoying you know the fact that shaq was squirming that guy might have just been a prick

i think he kind of was yeah i think he turned out to just kind of be an asshole but uh yeah uzi just seems like a nice guy our notes here we have uzi and katie then uh they throw it at tyreek and ella saying that tyreek is flirted with every girl in the villa and ella recoupled despite being closed off and then later in the challenge each couple has to balance this on a surfboard whatever blah blah blah that was terrible uh and yeah and then katie tried to throw a shot and said maybe you should put that much effort into your relationship which i think i feel like she thought that was her mic drop moment and it just wasn't i don't know i just think katie's doing a lot and it's not it's not playing too well no katie uh katie came out hot this week with that. You can tell she's competitive, but then the, as we'll get to the next night, the toast. What a pointless pot to stir.

That was a shot. That was absolutely passive aggressive, right? Yeah. That was a condescending toast. It was not ignorant. Ignorance is not the word. It was not innocent and sporadic like she would want you to believe. Right.

She was doing it to make people be like, what the fuck? I almost feel like the producer said like, hey, you should make a toast and say something about this. I wondered that we've kind of wondered if you know the whole time if she's she's the most likely to be a producer plant or at least someone who's like getting information the most information from them she's been through it before she kind of operates like jess from last season to me and i also felt like jess was a producer play at last season yeah i think i think jess was sent in just to be with will and keep him around but i I think that Katie, especially if you've already been on a season, that's someone that you can have manipulate what's going on inside the villa.

Sure. They know what they're doing. They're comfortable. Why does Zach care so much that people know they're exclusive or not? I don't know. Like, bro, he's not getting his head turned. No. There's no way.

Yeah. Zach would be an idiot to not just like shut it down at this point if if something happened and he it would be the biggest shock i've ever seen on this show like what in the two seasons i've watched it is always kind of funny there's always or most most seasons at the end of the season they always have like one dude who decides just to go rogue and it always backfires it looks like mitch they get the hoardiness it kind of looks like mitch right now dude but mitch right now mitch is not he hasn't been settled with like anybody totally you're right two weeks with abby um including casa and we'll just jump right to that because i feel like that's kind of been the uh marquee event of the week what is the mitch situation yes the mitch

mitchuation is what some are calling it not Not me. The Mitchuation has really come to fruition. Well, now we have, okay. Before we get to that, actually, let's, let's note that we did have the ruthless dumping of Catherine Ellum this same night. Oh yeah. And then we had Montel and Leah go home in the same group that was getting voted on with Sammy and Jess and Katie and Uzi. I wasn't, I actually, I told Sally before it's Montel and Leah for me. same group that was getting voted on with Sammy and Jess and Katie and Uzi. I wasn't, I actually, I, I told Sally before it's Montel and Leah for me.

I didn't, I didn't want them to go home necessarily over. I thought Katie and Uzi probably should have gone home, but I told her like the producers don't want Montel and Leah here. They're the quietest couple on camera. Like they're not really succeeding that well at this point. I think they're going to go home. And I think,

I think the public might be able to see that did you like his poem why did why do these guys do like grand gestures from like the terrace and act like they're like set for the rest of the season he thought he was and then they sent him home that's a that's a tough scene i i said to you and dylan that after movie night i had a new least favorite person on the show and it was katherine because i thought the way that she operated in movie night taking zero responsibility for what she did not showing any apology for anything i was just like what like you could just take a little responsibility and say that you had your head turned but instead you're like i didn't're like, I didn't do anything wrong. I didn't do anything wrong. It came across as weird because it just doesn't match

what I've seen from Scott. Yeah. And I think we've talked about this. Maybe there's more to it. You know, people didn't necessarily believe that Scott really liked Catherine. And maybe there was some truth to that, but it doesn't really come out in the show,

at least what they're showing us. So, yeah, it was a little bizarre. And I thought people just don't handle – have we ever seen anybody recouple from Inkasa and come back and handle it right, like well, like to their former Sig of? No, not really. It's always just – I think i think live last year i'm

thinking of ella this year yeah um katherine this year the people that do the people that do it well it's it's not both parties never handle it well there's always one party that gets really angry yeah it's never both people that just are like you know what maybe we're okay for each other it's time to go yeah i i kind of just want to go down the abbey road right now not not doing a beatles pun right now either he did it yeah he did it famously paul mccartney alive and well abbey road mituation well uh i thought that these two were i thought these two were gonna be there till the end i kind of did too i thought it was a cute couple you kind of get a little redemption from mitch abby seems very sweet fun but then she got

her head turned she started entertaining scott when scott started entertaining her she did and i feel like that's i feel like she's not getting enough uh chatter about how turned her head was at the time based on what where we currently are in this situation she did a personal training session with him i think that outside of like cuddling and physical touch and and hooking up in this villa one of the most flirtatious things you can do is a couple's workout yeah Yeah, like, if you see your girl planking and making eye contact with a Welsh professional soccer player who has, like, really sexy eyes, like, it's over for you.

And keep in mind, this is all while Mitch is on a date. Not his decision. Correct. From one of the new bombshells. Correct. Ella too. She didn't want to work out

in front of Mitch the day before because it would have mugged him off. But the second he leaves the villa, she'll do it behind his back with no questions asked. Yeah. I am completely shocked that the Ella two and Mitch thing has gone off like it has. I just didn't see it I don't trust her I don't trust The Tyreek stuff She was way too I'm one foot in one foot out with her I like that she's there I'm one foot in one foot out

I have to admit that I do like her more after watching Unseen Bits I actually think she's entertaining I think that the way that Ella Old Ella is treating new Ella I think it's completely like out of bounds yeah i didn't think the battle of the ella's line was anything that needed to be confronted it's she was clearly joking yes making a stupid like that was an icy exchange in the bedroom yes it was like the camera the camera view made it so much more intense on

new ella's face because it was so close up on her she just looked like she was a deer in the headlights the entire time i think if they could have had that back they would have placed the camera a little further further away on the wall yeah um my first read on ella too is that she is just absolutely there to cause trouble she is there she is an absolute her little line that she said like six times that i always get what i want is then mitch is like really you're literally talking about me literally me it's literally me literally want me um i will say that mitch is correct that her vibe is way chill. Like... New Ella? New Ella.

Yeah. It's very... She does a lot, but like she never really... She's not like... She's the opposite of Jess, basically, is what I'm saying. I get the feeling that... Oh, I think Jess is pretty chill. But Jess seems more like out there and like...

Type A? Raise her voice a little bit. Type A. Yeah, I get it. I get it. Like she's a little more extroverted than new Ella. That makes sense. I just – I feel like she's playing the part a little bit.

She is playing the bombshell part. She's got some lines in there that are really trying to, you know, spice things up and everything. But I think she's net positive overall. Like I think she's coming in at a time where it's really hard to turn anyone's head at all without being a little seductive and a little over the top.

I think Mitch is the perfect person to do that to. Yeah, he's a puppy dog. I think that if she could have had her pick of anyone in the villa, she would have gone for a Zach or something. But at this point in the game, she knows that she kind of just has to go with Mitch. And that's what she's doing.

What do you think about Ty's comment when they're reflecting on their previous kiss before the show, saying, it's a shame that'll be the last one? I mean, how do you read into that? It's so unnecessarily horny. Because when I heard him say it originally, I did not think he was canceling it out,

like put a clamp on it. I read it, it wasn't like, oh, that's a shame, that'll be the last one. It was more like shame. It was more flirtatious. Yeah, it was flirtatious. And everything he does is flirtatious. It was flirtatious. It was unnecessarily flirtatious. Dude. Because it's high. It was flirtatious. And everything he does is flirtatious. It was flirtatious.

It was unnecessarily flirtatious. Dude, and you... Oh, my God. He didn't need to put himself out there like that. Like, that's one of those moments where, like, I feel like if I was on Love Island and I said something like that to an old flame, I'd be like...

Two seconds later, I'd be like, hey, can we cut that out? Like, cut that out. How mad would you be if you were L01 and the producer sent in someone from the guy you've been with, his past, and he leaves for her? How do they find her? Did they just go to a club that is near his place and just be like, have you made out with Tyreek? Hey, have you made out with Tyreek?

Have you made out with Tyreek? Probably wasn't too hard to find those people. That's true. That's true. Tyreek does have a deep roster. Just go knock on your neighbor's door. He's got a deeper roster than like anyone i know like any nfl team combined yeah yeah um he does and his little shit-eating grin where he knows he knows he's stirring some shit up a little bit is so funny to me he's awesome he is absolutely awesome uh he did

something i don't know if this was last week or this week, but he did something that I meant to bring up on the pod where he says it was after a public vote where Sammy was in the bottom. And he goes and sits down with Sammy. And he says something to the effect of, well, it's good to know that the British public likes me. And then he sl sammy on the leg

and said can't say can't say the same for you bruv and i was just like why'd you have to do him like that yeah but he was just cracking up that like no one likes sammy yeah can't say this no he said can't say the same for you big man big man it's just tough like you can't be sammy sitting there you can't sleep in the same bed with your girl anymore. And you're just like out getting hung out to dry. It's so good. Oh, uh,

let's see. What else do we got? Okay. So with the whole Abby situation, Abby has gone through this entire thing with Scott. And then once new Ella comes in and turns, Mitch's had a little bit, takes him on a date.

And Mitch says like, it actually went pretty well. Then she starts hanging her hat. I'm being like, uh, I'm not going to get mugged off by having him talk to some other girl in this villa. And it's like, well, you literally just did this. I don't understand why it's a two way. It's not a two way street for you here. Yeah.

She's really failing to see that. And she pushed him away so much by, by clinging to this. that and she pushed him away so much by by clinging to this and this the in the big distinguishing factor here abby wanted to go talk to scott mitch just got picked for that date yeah like there's another world where she corrects somebody else and mitch and abby you know he maybe never talks to ella too oh dude i think that's 100 the case if he's not on that first date he and ella too never get involved yeah and ella's with someone else, and it's not a big deal. But instead, Abby just clung to it, and now has just forced him away. The worst thing that could possibly happen to you on Love Island happened to her.

She got labeled with the ick. I have not seen a lady get labeled with the ick yet. Dude. This is a first for me, and I felt bad for her, but she did it to herself. Is there anything worse than getting that label on this show? No, and I like how frankly they talk about it. She's like, well, that means it's done.

Once you got the ick, you can't, you know. And Mitch even said, no, well, maybe, you know. It's not like 100% ick, but we're trending. There's no coming back. And they know that. When Mitch is saying, it might not be total ick, he knows that if he gives her that title, it's going to be with her reputation forever.

It's like being called a creep, dude. Once you call someone a creep, that's going to stick with them for way longer than it needs to. Call a lady ick. Say she's got the ick that's just you're just not i'm not used to that if so if i heard that like i started thinking back once once abby got the ick thing i started thinking back to like old girls that like didn't continue with me and i started thinking about like oh man i gave her the ick for sure yeah i probably gave her the ick yeah i gave her the ick for sure yeah i probably gave her the ick yeah i gave her the ick for sure shout out to all the ladies we've given the ick to

yeah years yeah the ick click including including our wives yeah what's the biggest ick thing that like you do with alissa oh um usually when she walks out in the living room and i'm like i've got like my record player spinning a record and I'm just fucking high. You're just high as shit. Just sitting in your chair. Yeah. She's like, what the fuck?

I made Sally stand mute, cancel my like interest the other day. She didn't love this. Is it golf? I told her I was like, stand mute, cancel my recent interests. She goes, okay, what is it? And I said her. I was like, stay on mute, cancel my recent interests. She goes, okay, what is it? And I said, golf, Manchester United, and Grateful Dead.

And it was tough on her. I could tell she wanted to cancel golf, but she didn't want to go down that road. I could see golf giving a lot of girls the ick because you come back. First of all, you put on your polo and you tuck it into your khaki shorts. Golf style is the worst.

It's the worst. Then you come back and if you play, if you live in Central Texas, you come back and you're just covered, head to toe. So not only are you back five and a half hours later,

but you have to shower. You can't do anything until you shower. You can't go meet the fam at fucking Abuelos or something. No, you can't. Because you stink shower you can't go meet the fam at uh fucking abuelos or something no you can't you stink you can't it's just it's just yeah whatever dude we don't need i don't i i told sally that there's there's very few things in life that get me together with uh a group of friends for five hours straight like golf and it's not going away anytime soon she ended up she ended up i think muting it the boys dot boys randy what don't you understand about that dude can we get a meat update randy i thought you got a meat update yeah what do you think did you think i said meat

Yeah, that's good, too. That's good, too. Oh, yeah. Let's have a meetup, and we serve your mead. The meetup. Let's do a ticketed thing.

No, too much chance of him poisoning people accidentally. Accidentally. No, the strawberry mead is fully bottled, a little sweet. It's good. I got an Arnold Palmer one going and a Pino Colada one going, too, right now. Do you bottle these in a big jug? You big jugs guy? Or do you do little bottles?

It's a mix too. I got some big bottles and some small bottles. I can bring some small bottles in. Just say it, Randy. You got big jugs. I got big old jugs of mead. Let's go. I want to try it. I think we need to have a mead party.

I'll try it. I got the need for mead bring it up to the office where are we at we got let me see I'm just reading our notes here shout out to Blakey Locks by the way Blakey Locks

who does a lot of our he does some research stuff for us he makes some graphics for us for the pod. He's been an absolute king throughout this entire process. He went macro viral this weekend or this – yeah, this past weekend on Twitter. And my mentions have not been the same all week. So I saw that tweet when he first tweeted y'all. Yeah.

And I was like, oh, yeah, cool. I even watched the video. I was like, damn, yeah, he does shred you know and it had a little bit of action nothing not even like anything that would let me know that this has a chance yeah looked at it like that night and i was like my god yeah he went certified numbers viral he tweeted a video of john mayer playing guitar and uh it was doing numbers before even before Big Cat retweeted it. And then after that, it was just doing even more numbers. Are there a lot of people... I was looking at the replies. Are there some people who didn't realize that John Mayer is a world-class

guitar player? Dude, all I have done all week, Dave... I muted the conversation for about an hour. And then I was like, wait, I don't want to mute this. I want to see people being assholes in this comment section. And it was a bunch of people it's a bunch of dudes arguing about whether or not john mayer is like worthy of the conversation of being one of the goats right now so it's all dudes arguing and the dudes that are anti are all just like grumpy music snobs because they can't get past your bodies and wonder yeah like yeah i think that's it i get it but like his proficiency and how he can play like a blues riff is very very very elite i don't care technically speaking like i i don't know what a technically good guitar player is supposed to be

i think it's him but from a satisfaction perspective if you can watch like him play live and not feel like there's something satisfying about him doing it then like i don't know what to tell you that's i don't know what to tell you that's crazy man no i've heard i've heard like other like really really in the scene music people talk about him and they're like you yeah they were they were surprised to learn that how good he was because they just thought of him as like the it's great running through the halls of his high school guy yeah people are like he's just impersonating jerry garcia and i'm like yeah he's doing a really good job that's not easy to do yeah yeah normally if people can do that normally they can be successful in life oh man so i have some i have some general uh some general talking points from

this week of episodes that i would like to just toss out to you okay i have the zach and molly easy road that i just think that they've been just getting a charmed life lately um the abby's pipeline i think one of the most surprising things from this season or from this uh recent stuff is just how much the public clearly loves scott yeah scott to be with amber and not get voted into like the the bottom couples is crazy town how much of that is scott football player? They all know him or not. They don't all know him, but somewhat reputable,

right? I, I don't know. I have no clue. And Amber's dad. Like, I, I fancy myself to watch a lot of English soccer.

I am not familiar with her dad. Hardly at all. He's of note on the English national team in the early nineties. I, you know, checked it out so i think he is a known name i need to i need to do my research on him oh dennis wise okay i take it back i take it back i thought her last name was something totally different i've admittedly

not really paid attention to her very much on the show like she's a when her storyline starts to unfold that's when i usually start to pick up my phone accidentally yeah yeah fuck chelsea um but yeah i i wondered how much that affected into people and their allegiances but that could work the other way if it's people who hate chelsea yeah he played for chelsea yeah i think so it looked like he had a blackburn rovers jersey on but i also don't know what he i don't know whatever okay um ella and whitney's friendship since katherine has gone has started to amuse me a little bit something that ella and whitney have started doing and i don't know how clear this is unless you're paying attention to it they've really been just telling it like it is to people when they've been spouting dumb shit off

when jess comes over after like over after her fourth argument with Sammy, I like how blunt Ella is with them and Whitney for that matter. Dude, they've been great. I admittedly did not like Ella and Whitney for a period of time. I think it was Casa and Moore

when they were both kind of acting up a little bit. I kind of enjoy them right now because they are just being very blunt. When Abby started talking about Scott, Whitney just looked at her

and was like, you have no ground to stand on. What are you about like you've just been with scott this entire time but she wasn't doing it like a contentious way like i'm gonna jump down your throat it was more like laughing it off like no abby you can't talk like this yeah that that was she seemed like a seasoned vet yes because abby you know she's only been there a couple weeks yeah i think i think ella and whitney's friendship is better like better now than it was before and i'm not blaming katherine i just think that like now they can be more likable now that they're not like really into they're they're not i guess acting up in casa more i don't really believe whitney in uh what's his

name though locken mocking i keep wanting to say ellen you didn't like their date i just don't really believe them i don't know there's something about them i don't see chemistry there i need more locken i think i i would like to see him with someone else i haven't seen whitney have chemistry with anybody yet no that's a great point i mean she had the most chemistry with zach for five minutes remember that i was short-lived. That was weird. Right before Casa. She was horny for him. Yeah. I think if you could clear the cash, get rid of those cookies right now,

and you could have everyone start over, Whitney would be targeting Zach, no questions asked. 100%. When he kissed her and then she started trying to go in for more of a kiss, it was like a dog reaching for more food. Yeah. It no there's no more i don't have any more food in my hand sorry i don't know i i really didn't like i still get really annoyed by how uh i think klein actually said it best that whitney speaks in instagram captions were you on this text we haven't had much giving this week i will say i i'm so sick do you think it's because people in

the villa might have been like hey stop saying it's giving i i'm hoping that they the editors were like our people are kind of getting sick of this uh this this catchphrase they started leaning into it with like texts and stuff yeah they really did hashtag it's giving yeah they really did that's oh i hate it i just hate it it's bad and then last night or tonight i guess it was it would technically be tonight the friday episode on the hulu schedule that dave and i watched illegally on reddit last night how'd your reddit experience go i bookmarked uh the site i was very worried it wasn't gonna work no no no i i figured it out way easier than i thought it was gonna be um but really pretty much only two things happen

and of course abby and mitch abby mitch scott and then ella ella too and ty and then you have a recoupling but ella the you know the ella two just out of nowhere pulling ella one and just dropping that like yeah you know i mean he said it's a shame that that's gonna be the last kiss like that seemed like the producers are like yeah hey yeah that was that's totally unnecessary i need you to like i need you to really like go poke the bear is anything gonna happen with this like no it doesn't matter right i don't think it's the only thing that it matters for is like the public's um public's perception of Ty and Ella as a couple. Does that move?

Because you know every time they get in a fight, Ty goes over to a daybed with the guys and is like, we're done. It's done. Yeah. He says it's done. And I don't think it is, dude. I don't know why I have it in my notes. I just have Ty remains hilarious. He is.

He amuses the fuck out of me. He is absurd. He is a little bit immature, but he is he abuses the fuck out of me he is absurd i don't know if he is a little bit immature but it is so funny to watch god save the time for you big bad him and ella like they they fight like a married couple yeah it's bad dude it's like they're toxic if they were in my friend group and they were always arguing and stuff i'd be like yeah i'd be like sally we can't go out to dinner with them anymore i'm so sick of it are they the couple that like like fights like argues like that and then goes home and just like ravages each other insane intercourse and then it's all good i think they might but they can't do that here like yeah yeah i think they're just edging

right now they're edging their hate sex yeah yeah no i can see that happening they're both they both have really bad attitudes and i don't mean that like i don't mean that they're negative people like they just have like their attitudes get the best of them they they do not hold back when they talk i'm scared of ella ella one me too she scares the fuck out of me if i was in that villa i would do everything in my power to not get on her bad side and then there would be a time where i had all this pent-up energy and i finally was like ella stop like and then she'd kill me, and I would cry. I'd be on the terrace with Sally who would have her arm around me just petting my head.

I would not want to be on her bad side. No, no. And recoupling, we finally get Scott and Abby. They're not going to do anything, right? They're going to go home soon, I feel like. I feel like they're going to leave it. I don't know, man. I feel like they're going to do anything, right? They're going to go home soon, I feel like. I feel like... I don't know, man. I feel like they're going to leave... Scott effect.

Yeah, but if they do a house vote... Oh, that's a good point. If they do... Because they can't... They haven't done a house vote yet, have they? They need to do one of these ones where they have the people up there and they make the most popular couple vote,

where they make Zach and Molly vote, like decide who leaves. Okay. They have been holstering that a little bit that's usually a format they love to do to send people home i feel like we are due for something i think that's the only way scott gets sent home is a house vote yeah i think now that i'm thinking about it like yeah that makes sense um but who's amber with oh she's with josh is it josh yeah and josh talked about him josh is like dude i he's like i'm 26 and i work

in finance like i don't need to be with a 19 year old right now why it's strange to me that he's not more entertaining her dude she needs to go home she's i think they i think they had gemma views like hopes for her and it's just not panning out like Gemma it's just not yeah I don't get it she seems more 19 than Gemma seemed Gemma seemed like she was 23 this girl seems 19 she might seem 17 at some points where I'm just like what she was upset one day uh and she ran over to Jess to talk to her and I looked at Sally and I was like this conversation is going down like this girl has no good friends in the uh and she ran over to jess to talk to her and i looked at sally and i was like this conversation's going down like this girl has no good friends in the villa and she just needs someone to talk to and she just looked at jess as like being the nicest person who wouldn't

just tell her to shut the fuck up are you talking about jemma owen yeah not from last season yeah from last season why don't i don't think she was on last season the jemma owen i've never seen this woman in my life oh i'm sorry jemma oh my bad i mixed i mixed up last season the gem gemma owen i've never seen this woman in my life oh i'm sorry gemma oh my bad i mixed i mixed up last season with the season before gemma was on the season that dylan and i were watching that we decided we had to tell you and her dad was a professional soccer player right right right and i and she was really good um and everyone liked her on the show but she seemed way way older her dad was also way more famous than um uh amber wise's dad okay yeah josh josh doesn't have anything really that sticks out to me he's he's got good hair he looks like what i imagine a finance guy in england would look like he's a little more fashion forward

than i expected based on some of the outfits that he's put on. He seems like a cool guy. Yeah, I think he's fine. I think he knew his job. He had to go in. He was going to take one shot with Jess. And if it landed, it landed. It didn't land.

There was a second where I thought it might land. I was confused by that. A brief second. I was like, what are you doing, Jess? She finally smarted up and was like, I got to go nix this. But Mitch did the opposite. So now Mitch and Abby appear to be a dunzo.

I'm fine with that. I think that makes sense for both of them. I think Mitch needs to go with Ella B. If you told me early on in the season that Mitch is going to fumble numerous women and then end up with a championship winning dancer, I'd be like, you know what? I'm okay with that journey for Mitch. It sounds like fun.

You know what his game is? He loves sitting there in the day bed when he's talking to me like, your outfit looks amazing right now. And I'm like, dude, it's not that amazing. It is just a bathing suit pretty much with a cover-up. It's not amazing. I'm worried that Mitch might be really dumb.

I think he is. I think he's like a golden retriever. I think he is. I think he's like a golden retriever. I think he is too. There was a scenario. They're dumb. There was a scenario in Unseen Bits where they were trying to talk out. They had moved the beanbags from one area to another area

and everyone noticed it and was talking about it. Mitch had no clue they were moved. They were like, they're in a different area. And he's like, he didn't understand were moved they were like they're in a different area and he's like he didn't understand he's like they're in the same area and everyone's like like even ty was just like dude mitch mitch bro stop like you're like them trying to explain it to him and he just wasn't getting it i love that i was like the producers did not need the editing team did not need to include this like mitch looking this dumb on camera it's great should we do a little bit of uh snog mary pie yeah let's do it okay okay okay i'm gonna snog new ella i'm gonna give her i'm gonna give

her a i'm gonna give her a warm welcome into the villa oh wow and she's cute so what's what's the harm i'm gonna snog old ella just to keep the peace i'd have to get on my tiptoes to snog her i fear yeah oh She does look tall. Yeah. If she was wearing heels, I'd have to be on my tiptoes. She looks 5'9". She's a model, straight up. There you go. Sorry, we're the Ella snogging boys.

That's fine. Gotta keep the peace. I'm going to marry... Oh man, this is hard. This is hard. You know what? I'm going to marry... I'm going to marry Jess. She needs a win right now.

I want to be a consistency for her in her life. Sammy's not giving it to her. I could see Jess being a good person to live with. She'd be a fun mom. She's fun. She'd be a fun mom she's fun she'd be a fun mom i like that um i'm going to marry whitney really you're gonna it's giving it's giving wedding bells just because i don't think i've included her in one of these yet this season and i don't think she's that into locking okay from what i can tell okay and i don't know she's that into locking, from what I can tell. Okay.

And I don't know. She's calmed down on the it's giving. She's no longer doing Instagram speak, like Klein said. I'm going to give her a chance. Okay. And honestly, I'm thinking of other people that I've already chosen, and they just wouldn't be good. I think I picked Abby last week.

Whitney's grown on me in general. Abby had a good week. But I was pretty down on Whitney for a little bit in the beginning when she wouldn't stop good. Like, I think I picked Abby last week. Whitney's grown on me in general. Abby had a good week. But I was pretty down on Whitney for a little bit in the beginning when she wouldn't stop saying it's giving, and I didn't believe her relationship with Maddie. No, just didn't believe it. That for sure. But her stock's up.

Abby's stock down. And a pie-ing would be easy to pie Abby. She's got enough problems. Yeah, yeah. I almost don't want to pie her. I don't want to kick her while she's down. I'm going to mercy pie Amber. Yeah, that's exactly what I was going to do.

And it's not anything she's done. I really like her. I like, she seems like a sweet girl, but she's just like, what's going on here? I was going to mercy pie Amber as well. Yeah. Yeah. Mercy pie. No one's doing that.

That's all I got. That's all doing that. That's all I got. That's all I got. That's all I got. I'm tired, man. You got to go to lunch. The Love Island boys take no days off. I think going forward, I'm always going to watch Unseen Bits. It probably helps with the product.

It helps understand some context and maybe why people react certain ways towards some people. It's pretty entertaining. And something else I learned in Unseen Bits, to close things out, is that I was very surprised at, or not surprised, I was, it was interesting to see that since they can't play music, they will just sing together while getting ready.

That's brutal. Is it true that when they do the dance, lap dance stuff and all that, they're not actually playing music or are they so sally and i tried to figure this out they have to right i think they used to not i think they do play music now because that's horrifying you can't just hear like like if a girl comes out like a sexy nurse outfit with like patent leather you can't just hear that patent leather squeaking on some dude's crotch like that's weird for everybody can you oh my god can you imagine being in the villa without a bluetooth speaker no what a disaster You can't just hear that patent leather squeaking on some dude's crotch. Like, that's weird for everybody. Can you... Oh, my God. Can you imagine being in the villa without a Bluetooth speaker?

No. What a disaster. Wouldn't it be weird to be poolside for that long and not have a Bluetooth speaker? Yeah. It would be very weird. I don't get it. I hate it. I don't get it.

All right. We'll see you guys next week for the Love Island Boys. Bye-bye.
