You're crazy. Well, Corbin, welcome, man. Thank you very much. So did I. I mean, just like, how is your heart, man? How are you feeling? I feel good, you know. I mean, leaving the villa, it was for sure at 180. You know, I came in there as a regular person, you know, like a walk-ins and airport and stuff and knowing that it recognized me. Coming out of the villa, completely different. First night I was in that hotel. I was in the lobby or something when I got booted off the villa and someone recognized me off that. I was like, whoa, this is like a little... And you were still infusion? I'm still infusion. Yeah. I was like, oh, this is a little glimpse of what's happening now. And then they said, oh, giving your phones back and after some of this stuff, I was like, oh, I saw an anxiety started kicking. I was like, oh, snap. Were you prepared for that? I mean, how familiar were you with, like, love Island and just like the fan base and how in that at all?
I knew it was big because season seven, that's when I watched a little bit and I seen watch party starting to go up and stuff. And at that time, I was in Gainesville area. So I was like, oh, are those bars the college town? It's like, oh, they're doing watch plays. I was like, oh, this is pretty big. People are really interested in it. But I didn't really have much interest into the show. I didn't really watch too much. I didn't really get any attachment or be like, oh, this person though, they're moving like this, you know. And I was always like, ah, they put me on the show. I do it, I guess, you know. But never was my intention to go on the show. Were you scouted or like you were scouted? I was scouted. I thought that shit was a scam. Yeah. Pretty sure everyone has said that because, you know, they reach out to Instagram DMs, you know, everybody gets rid of DMs. Yeah. So you're seeing someone say, hey, I work with some random cast of the page. Exactly. Exactly. And it's not verified or exactly. It's just a random account. You start looking through the page. I was like, how is this the biggest show? And this person has this account title. I was like, it's not making sense. Did you respond right away? Or did you wait a few days? No, I think two people probably reached out to me in the span of like, in the scouted
process of them reaching my Instagram DMs, it's probably like over three months. Yeah, that was of 20, it was around 2027. No, I'm kidding. So 2025, they reached out one time. I seen it and I don't think I'd done anything. Okay. And then that December, they reached out again. And I was like, okay, let me go through with it. I biased it because I thought it was a scam. I was like, yeah, whatever. They sent me a link. Let me send a video. That's a question. Exactly. I biased it and then I didn't hear nothing back from them. And then someone else reached out again this year, I think in January or February. And I was like, oh, I already applied. This is another person. I'm getting the same text. And they're like, oh, yeah, we looked at the video and it was, it was bad because I biased it. What did you do? Do you remember what you did? I just had no energy. I had no energy. They asked me, what's your name? You know, introduce yourself, basically. They're just like a pitch, I guess. I love it a pitch. I said, I'm Corbin, 22. If you want me. From Miami. I'll do it. I work out. No emotion, no energy, no personality, no nothing.
And then they're like, do it again. Because over the phone call, that's when my personality came out and they're like, do it again. I think, you know, you have a good fit for it, whatever, whatever. And then I submitted a video, gave my personality because like, oh, I'm actually talking to someone now. I think this action might be real. I submitted a video and next thing you know, I'm in LA for a video. After meeting, that's when I really, I really felt like, oh, this is real. Like they paid for my flight. They gave me a hotel like, oh, shit. And then Fiji came once they gave me the call and I'm going to Fiji. I was like, oh, we're in it. We're in it. And then now you know, we have that, you know, when we go to the villa, I was like, oh, are we going to stand in the villa? Now it's the challenge. Are you going to stand in the villa? When are you going to leave? That's kind of the ups and downs. When did you find out you were going to be a bombshell versus like being the original cast? And did you have an awareness of what that meant? So yeah, I had awareness of what original cast was in bombshell. I mean, I think I was always leading going into that bombshell route just because of like, I guess my looks. I get the stereotype of a fuckboy already, you know?
So and they told me I was like, yo, you have fuckboy looks. Like you're good. I think you're coming and cause I'm, you know, I get out of doing what a bombshell does. And I think I did that looking at the world. Have you gone back and watched your entrance? Yeah, that shit was fire. Yeah, I mean, like you had a pretty dope entrance in terms of like looking like a rock star. And like, did you ever have that much success in one moment with or feel that much desired by a group of obviously very attractive women? So when I was there, they're moving me to the, they said something about, oh, we're rolling now. Ball is rolling. That means I'm like, ball is rolling. Am I going in the villa? What's going on? I ain't no nothing. I'm getting to the villa basically. And it's the challenge, the, the boss bitch challenge. And I'm like, oh, this is a cool set. I'm thinking to just showing me giving me the lead. And you know, no, this is a cool set. Well, I just fire like, okay. Nice. You know, boom, I'm in a suit. Nice. You know, boom, I'm kissing girls back the back. I'm like, what the fuck now I'm in here? Like, I'm in it now.
No, I'm an islander. I'm a bombshell. That must have been pretty surreal. It's like it. Yeah, I was nervous. I'm not going to lie. The first, like as soon as they said, oh, yeah. Like I heard all the islanders come out. I was like, oh, these are people. I was watching like, you know, I was in Fiji before I got into the villa. And I was like, oh, now I'm actually here. This is the show. It's starting. So it is interesting because like anytime you see someone on TV, there's this like feeling of their famous, right? So even though you knew that this cast, the OG cast just coming in, did it already feel even though you came in pretty early, did they feel almost like celebrities in a way where you nervous to meet them? Like they almost had like a leg up on you. Okay. No. I was the case because I literally went in there with no expectations. And I knew I was walking into a villa full of individuals I did not know. Okay. They don't know my personality. I don't know theirs. I don't know what type of friends are. How they are with each other or how they are by themselves. So I was literally walking in there like, oh, now I just got to be myself. So fuck it.
Just put on the table. If they like it, they like it. If they don't, they don't. It's always fascinating when you watch LaVada, especially like with yourself and you come in at the challenge. And then everyone starts talking. So what is it like when you get done with the challenge, you just made out with a bunch of women. Like how friendly or unfriendly is that as the cast? Who is the first person to come up to you and like kind of greet you and made you feel welcome? There's a difference between a challenge kiss and kissing in a chat. Okay. So when I walked in as a bombshell and I'm going to mention it because my famous line is, can I get a kiss? It's like, I didn't remember that. You know, can you remind me? Can I get a kiss? I laugh on my own voice stems every day. Anyways, walking into that challenge, the ball, which I came in was kissing six girls, back to back to back while I haven't to get to know their name, I haven't get to know their personality. Not trying. Just walking in and kissing. So all right. But this is what this game is. So now I'm in a chat. I'm like, oh, wait, we could just kiss. All right. Can I get a kiss and I can't ask him?
I can't ask him. Well, I was like, oh, then. So you asked multiple. Yes. I think I asked Kenzie and I write with Kenzie. I asked him. So no one explained to you the difference before you came in. You didn't know. No, I didn't know. I didn't. Yeah. I thought everybody was just having fun, but it is deeper than that apparently. And I figured that out throughout, you know, days of being out. I said, oh, challenge kisses are different because, you know, it's for the challenge. Can't you can't say no if you want to, but we're here to have fun. You know, it's a summer in a villa in Lava Island. Yeah. But then in a chat, that's one is more intimate. You need to know the person. He's like, oh, now you have an emotional connection. So that's why I was like, ah, that's why I fucked up that. So who and who is the first person who kind of greeted you and made you feel welcome after that challenge? First, oh, after the challenge or just in general. In general, so that first day or that first night, I was like, wow, I'm sleeping here. First of all, he put me on a hard, I was couched and he even give me a bed. I pissed off at that. First of all, he put me in the corner and that bed was hard. Like, I don't even know how to describe.
It's probably like one of Patrick's bed. I don't know. It's like that sand bed. That's what it was like. My back, anyways, whatever. That first night, I was like, oh, this is weird. Like, everyone's coupled up. I mean, I'm in here just sleeping. All right. Fuck it. Next thing you know, I'm trying to get the lay of the land when I wake up. Like, okay, what's the routine? I'm looking at the guys. Just looking at them, seeing what they're doing and pushing the teeth. And then they go out to make breakfast. I'm like, okay, it's just the routine. Boom. First person I was out there was, I think Sean was out there. Yeah. And then I was with Kenzie and Kenzie. Like, her breakfast cooked like the first, like, she needs to be the first one in the room. That's how she liked it. So he was up cooking breakfast and I walked out and he was like, oh, what's up, come give me a shot of the lay of the land. And then, yes, I'll say Sean. Sean was sure that first person and sincere also after Sean. He was like, yeah, yeah. So I think he was, I think he called me Bob at the time. I was like, yeah, Bob's. Yeah, Bob's. You know what? Someone does another name when they give you like a nickname.
Some of this is like how we say, yeah, it was so bro, you know, you know, another name with it. Oh, bro, it's all Sean sincere. And then everybody else just started trickling down and then, yeah. So in terms of like knowing the difference between challenge kiss and just the chat kiss, did you have to, did you kind of figure that out when you got a got weird reactions or did someone to be like, yo, bro, like, first date, a first night when I came in, I kiss Kenzie and then I kiss Kada. The next morning, I was dealing with shit. I was like, whoa, how did I get into this? Like, well, Kenzie's mad at me because I went to ask for Kada, a kiss from Kada. And I'm like, are you mad at me already? I didn't even do nothing. But I was like, oh, it's spread and then someone talked and this is a name like, oh, okay. That's a nice realize. And then it's also like Bryce too. He helped me, you know, understand a little bit more because he was talking on me and he's like, yo, you have to move yet. You know, get to know each individual to see if you actually have a connection. And instead of just going into it like a challenge basically where you're just doing it for the fun of it, you already care kind of up.
So Bryce also changed my mindset on how to approach conversations and just be more emotionally tuned, I guess. Yeah. Nice. Who are you closest with these days? Casey. Casey is my boy. I don't know how. I don't know how. Because Casey was there. Was that different than when you were in the villa? No, I don't know. It's always the same. Yeah, it's always the same. But in the beginning, I think Casey was just like non-chalant. He would just be there. He wouldn't really laugh too much other inside jokes we had and stuff. I was like, okay, and I peeped. I was like, oh, he's just chill, you know, chill dude. Not too much personality. I don't know. I don't know where. Some reason we just started laughing. I guess we started clicking or something. And then literally for like a week straight, we would just laugh, non-stop at nothing. Like we could literally just make eye contact and just bust out laughing. And then we'll be, we'll do that in bed too. Like when we're sleeping at night, no one would sleep with us. No one would sleep around us. Anaya, Kenzie, Melanie was in the middle of us with Sincere. So they wasn't even getting any sleep.
I would just up talking and shit. Rose, gon' be brother. That's my dog. When you got your phone back, obviously you mentioned there's just a lot of anxiety. What was like the first thing you noticed about what people were saying? My memes. Corbin GPT. Did you pick up on like someone referred to you as... AI. They did, yeah. Yeah. Did you realize that was something that people were saying or did anyone tell you about that? You know, looking back at it, I can see how, yeah, it's called me AI because my manurisms are very robotic. But inside the villa, that's just how I am. And it started off with when I walked in to the villa. The first night, I think Sean said, yo, they got you from Mountain Olympus and just dropped you in here. And I think someone said, yo, you're just, you're created in a lab. Like this dude's AI, he's not real. And then that's when that running joke started just happening. And then when I zone out, they're like, oh, he's rebooting. Did you feel like overall outside of the memes that you felt like well received or did you feel the criticism at all or how did you like prepare for that?
For sure, I gave the world ups and downs with emotions. And I know at the beginning was rocky for sure. And then also cost some more happened was rocky. But then also I rebuilt the world and how they perceive me after that challenge, like Cupid challenge, I think when we were voting and talking it, when I basically talked about sincere and just put them, you know, say, how do I count them? Yeah, yeah. I thought that was a great moment for you. I mean, I was a fan of you from the beginning. Like, I just felt like there was more to you than we were seeing. But like that moment was sincere. I really appreciate it because I think, you know, it's as easy with the boys. I did like, you know, just the, you know, fist pump, a lot of them talk and like, you know, everyone's having fun. But like, it takes a great friend, obviously, to hold your friend accountable. Like I loved how afterwards you went to sincere, you kind of cracked a joke about it. Like what compelled you to want to do that? And is that something that you're, you know, like, is that who you are with your friends outside of the villa? So yeah, I'm always going to speak up if something's not right.
But in that moment, we had to pick two couples that I guess it was picking two couples that were that had the least connection or something like that. I guess at least compatible or something like that. I already knew Melanie sincere. They're going to be good, you know? And I didn't think about them because they're my friends. Sincere is my dog. I was like, okay, I don't even want to think about kicking them out the villa. Makes no sense. Or me that told me her pros and cons of why? Because she was new. She came in from Kalsa and she didn't really have that connection that I did. So she gave me that outside perspective of, oh, I'm not a friend to this person, but this is what I'm seeing. So I had to exclude that friendship and start looking at everything like very logical, basically looking at it. And I was like, okay, it makes sense. Now let me come out here and, well, I didn't really have a speech of mine. You know, I was like, I don't know what I'm going to say. Like in my head, I was nervous. I was like, bro, I'm about to tell my dog I want to kick them out the villa. Yeah, that's pretty direct. Yeah, I don't even know like how I was going to do it. And I think I started off with, you know what? I'm just going to start with this and then I started talking and whatever I just felt felt.
But that was, that was just my chance to hold them accountable. Were you nervous about how sincere would take that? Yeah, 100%. And I know we got to see a little bit of that conversation, but was he pretty chill about it at all? Was there any awkwardness at first? No, no awkwardness because he understood. He understood and then we also talked about it. So in that chat after, he was like, yeah, I did feel some type of way because you're my dog and I was like, damn, he wanted to kick me out the island. But he really listened to what I said. And it was more so about me taking that time, that moment to hold them accountable for his action. So he doesn't fuck up in the future anymore. That was like his moment to really realize, okay, he's hurting his connection, which was Melanie. And then he's also hurting his boys. And now yeah, I could have chatted with him saying, yo bro, you shouldn't be doing this. You might brush it, take a little regular chat versus a challenge where spotlights on you say, okay, now you take that moment to really listen. Every challenge that we have or every moment where Ariana, Ariana is out there. It's like, oh shit, what's about to happen? Like, let me lock in. Let me focus.
There's always some, our energy is low. There's always low. Is that someone's getting booted or someone's coming in? That's gonna suck up a connection. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. But it's all good. Were you guys aware of just like how much sincere was kind of fucking up from the fans perspective or was it not as obvious being in the villa? In the villa? I can't speak of everybody in the villa. I didn't even know like how he was moving through. Cause I think I had a chat with Melanie at one point where she was like, sincere is telling me one thing and telling so the same thing. And I didn't know because I never really spoke to sincere about the connections that are what you're saying. So I was like, man, I don't think he's doing that because I don't think the whole villa really knew for real. It was kind of like he said she said kind of up. But when movie night came, I was like, oh shit, you was doing this, bro. So now I'm like defending you, but now I was like, oh, it was movie night awkward for you guys like watching. I love it. I love it. I was saying, was it because it was like, you know what?
Everyone's getting hit. I'm pretty good. At the end of the day, I mean, I seen my clips about what I said in Carson. I was like, oh, shit, this is bad. Like, you know, and that's something I do wish I took back how I said certain things. When I was watching movie night, bro, I was seeing Casey doing his show. I was like, oh, you're cooked. I was looking at it like, but that's my dog. You movie. And then everybody else. I honestly thought movie night was Casey's best moment because it gave like he, I think he handled it the best way where he took accountability. I'm curious like it must be easy to forget what you said, like even the shit that you said and they played it at movie night was like the way out what I like so much about Casey because he honestly was like, I don't, I don't remember doing that. And then that, you know, it's what you guys had the benefit of and we were saying we're talking about the show. It's like, you know, fans are critics and everyone acts like they're a purer for human when they're watching. And if the world had the benefit of movie night, right? Yeah. Or the world got to every day show you like shit you said or how you interact with strangers
or when you maybe were like, you came across this route, but you didn't realize it. I thought it was really cool how he just was like, man, I'm kind of embarrassed. Yeah. And then he like, he owned it in the best possible way, which is kind of all you can really do. That's the best thing you could do in a situation. Just for me, like when I walked in to re-coupling from Kasa, they said I said certain things and I was like, well, I really don't know. And you guys said you've seen a live footage. I'm like, okay, I'm gonna take your word that I said that. And if I did say them on up to it, I'm gonna say sorry. And that's the same thing with you. I was in a part where you're like, I think you were like Kenzie and I are done. I was, I think I said something like, what was it in the villa? I think it was like, I wasn't thinking about her or something. Some, you said a lot. Yeah, I think she had a lot of shit in the world. When you, like when it comes to Kasa, like what did you think Kasa was going to bring? And like what were your guys' expectations? How you thought you should move? So I'm gonna start off when before you went into Kasa that night or that day before, Kenzie
and I, at least I felt that I didn't know there was ups and downs in our relationship or our connection that I didn't get to speak to her about. And I wanted to speak to her and then boom, Kasa happened. So I was like, aw shit, I didn't even get to speak about these things that we're having issues with. What were some of those things that you were feeling? So there's a few things. First I was on the strike list, like you know, strike one, strike two, strike three, am I out? Like Kenzie's strike list. Yes, Kenzie's strike list. She said, strike one, something was, I didn't cook her a grilled cheese sandwich or something, even though I guess it was jokes, but strike one. Strike two was, I didn't pull her for a chat or something like that. And then I was like, okay, so what's gonna be strike three, you know? So that happened and then I think the other one was like, I don't even know. I think there was some little remarks she would say. And that was kind of like throwing me off. So now talk to her and think she got, in my opinion, I think she got a little defensive or started being like, mm, being short with her answers. So I want to talk to her, but I didn't get the chance to. So now I'm like, okay, I have this built up in my head about our connection.
And now I'm going to Kasa with a whole set of, a new set of six girls, beautiful woman. And I was like, okay, I didn't get to speak about it. So let me see what the connection is here. And I found a connection. Yeah. What was about Permina that really drew you to her? I think at that time, we just started like clicking. It was like very more, it was friendship for sure, but it was also like, she looked good. So there's also that flirtiness in there. So I was like, it's fire. Like we're laughing, we're chilling. Like, you know, best friends kind of, but then we also have that like spark of flirtiness. That flirt, that flirty spark where you just want to catch a vibe with somebody. Yeah. That was really it though. Our conversation always flowed. Like, I could be myself. I've seen her be herself when I was talking with her. So it was just good. And you feel it. Yeah. But now you guys are no longer an item. Yeah. No, not to come. And how do you guys come to that decision? After the villa, when we left coming to Miami, we said that we're going to be exclusive. We're going to try and work, work our relationship and see how it is in the real world. Because that's, and the villa is a dream.
Yeah. It's a dream. You're not dealing with family, you're not dealing with friends, you're not dealing with traffic. You're not dealing with some job issues and exes. Everything, you know? So coming and saying you have to explore each other and see how you guys handle those situations. And then do that, explore and we have ups and downs. And then we just came to an agreement where it's like, we just don't want to be in a relationship. It's not have a title on it. And just keep it cordial. Is it just friends or is it friends with benefits? Not friends with benefits. Just friends. I'm curious because you talked about the difference between a challenge kiss and a chat kiss. But every night, you know, when you guys are coupled up, there's always like, you guys go to bed, you're sharing a bed. The way they edit, you can't really tell if there's stuff going on. My first question is, how much stuff is going on underneath the sheets? And is there an expectation with couples in terms of like, if something happens under the sheets, is that mean even more than the chat kiss? And did you, like, for example, you and Kenzie when you were dating, how much of that stuff was going on? And did you guys talk about that, like, move the relationship or how meaningful was that
to both of you? So I don't think we actually ever talked about how meaningful that was or anything. It was kind of just like, Bob, you know, moment we're telling. But yeah, I don't really think we talked about like how that makes us feel like that. I think it probably grew the connection. You know, we have a deeper connection, but yeah, I don't think you know, we really talk about that. But I want to say some people may feel like like was I can get it in one to hide away. That's pretty big, you know, and they got intimate, you know. So it's like that bond that you build with somebody, and he said sexual bond, they build with somebody. And then also now you have an emotional attachment because you see this person as a future boyfriend, husband, whatever the case may be. So it's like, yeah, you get that soul tie almost, I guess. But are you hearing other couples like getting hot and heavy underneath the sheets? And is that like hard to sleep sometimes or was that pretty to be honest? I knock out. I'm not. I mean, you would hear the kissing and stuff. I didn't really hear anything else too crazy. You know, here, little chastity kissing.
I didn't hear no crazy things that didn't sound like kissing. Yeah, I didn't hear no creaking in the bed or nothing. Where do you and Kenzie stand today? You were good. You were good. Did you guys have any like conversations like getting out of the villa just to kind of settle any differences that you guys had? No, I think it was more so like when I left the villa, gave her a hug. She was saying like, sorry for everything or something like that. She was like, yeah, it's all good. You know, it's going to be good. And then yeah, now I'm here. I think I'm like the middleman. I have no beef. Like I'm just here. Like I'm just existing. Yeah, it's just great. What do you think of some of the beef that's going on between the cast? It's hard to tell because like I hear about it when they tell me about it. You know, when people bring up something, they're like, oh, that's going on for real. I didn't even notice. So it's been the most communicative to you in terms of the drama that they're experiencing. I think it's as a collective. So I talked to Casey Sincere. I talked to Bryce. I talked to Gabe and they all tell me their own sides of what's going on.
Like, oh, for real. And then I think maybe I'll check out like what's going on or see if there's something. But if it's not popping up on a for you page for real, like I'm not going to do too much digging. It's not my life. But like I do wish the best for you know, which they handed everything and it's going good. I mean, do you feel like it's affecting some of the your peer's ability to kind of enjoy this experience because kind of your point, you're just like, you know what? Yeah. It's not my problem. I want to enjoy this very unique time in my life. But it seems like some of your peers are kind of getting wrapped up in it. I'll talk about Casey's situation because I didn't even know that. In the reunion, he brought up that he was getting death threats and his family was getting threats, T.T. He was getting threats, all of that stuff. I didn't really know where it stemmed from because I didn't know why he was getting those reactions. Yeah. People were very passionate about Casey. Yeah. Like fans are crazy. And I didn't even know because I didn't do too much digging. So like when Gabe, no, I think Parmido is saying because she would talk to T.T. almost every day. She'll be like something they're dealing with something right now and then I'll call
Casey. But he was going on to the, you know, he's busy trying to do his own life. Feel it all that. But I didn't know that. So reunion comes and he talks about, he was getting death threats and stuff and that's crazy because I've just gotten like my address or my phone, my parents phone numbers and their names, four names, whatever leaked to me. I'm like, oh, this is kind of scary. But to have someone say actual death threats to you, that's not acceptable. It's TV and how they edit the stuff is like it makes you someone who you're not. And I say now coming out the villa, you have to show these people who you really are. But and I think that did affect Casey's experience because now he's like, or he's back then he was in the shadows. He wasn't posting too much. He was trying to get his mental right. But I think now he's no good because the reunion he talked about it addressed it. And I think now he's at a mental place where he's able to come out and shoot content. We're shooting content together. You know, I love seeing him as the first time seeing him at the villa. So. Well, as rivers getting older, it's important for us to try to make sure that she's getting

Who do you think maybe he's just going down the list. I'd love to from your perspective because you've got to know these people in the villa. What are you from your awareness like Kate? Let's start with KC. How do you think KC is the most understood versus like what you think fans think of them versus the man you got to know? That's hard to explain because I barely watched the show too.
So I didn't really see too many of those clips of how he was moving. I like to really go off of his movie night because that is just embedded in my brain. KC was just an in the villa. I'll say how he's perceived online was like a chill guy. You know, he had his ups and downs of happy and an also nonchalant. Then he has goofy side with me. You know, and that's when personality started coming out. And the reality where his brain is strategically thinking about everything. Like from his photo shoot, I seen I was like, whoa, to his podcast that he dropped. I was like, damn, all right. And I'm not talking with him now being now in LA with him. I'm hearing his plans. I'm like, oh, his dude is actually thinks through everything. Like he does, he's not impulsive. He's not like a matured and what he's thinking. He knows what he's going to do. And he knows like what it should, what the outcome should be. And that's what I really respect because he has that creative and strategic mindset. And I was like, oh, damn, bro, you like locked in dog. Yeah. So that's pretty cool to see that because I didn't see that in the villa. You know, he's not faced with having to make creative ideas.
Content you were not faced with what outfits we want to wear for real to step out. And you know, show to the world the villa. We don't have that stuff. You know, it's kind of like put on our shorts, take off our shirt, cut breakfast, call it a day, just have some chats. Yeah, since he was obviously to do like the whole apology to her, he apologized. It seems like a lot of the reunion. Yeah. But obviously it seems like sincere, pretty close to a lot of people and it sounds like he's a pretty likeable guy. What are some of the good qualities that aren't being talked about? Listen, sir, that you've gotten to know as a human being. He's a good friend. He's a good friend. He talks with you. He's good with his words because he would understand you. You sit there, listen, understand. And then he'll job one of his famous metaphor lines. So every time, every conversation that happens, sincere is a good dude and he would understand every situation that you're in. And he'll be here trying to make the light, the better light come out of it. You know, even if you have like a bad day, it would be like, it's okay, Pops. But you know, at the end of the day, this is a new 24 hours and something, something something. That's a pretty good impression.
At the reunion, like a lot of surprisingly soul was a big part of the drama with like the core form. Oh, I did see that. Yeah, like when I got out the villa, she was on lives and so. I mean, she was making the most of it. Like I think like the big, her big accusation or critique was she didn't feel like welcomed by the rest of the women, just like from your perspective, someone who was there. And then obviously the core four, they were like, now we didn't see it that way. Where did you see it? I think soul and the girl's relationship is, except I can't speak on it because they go to the dressing room. They have, I don't know how it is on that intimate setting. But when we are out in the kitchen, I do see some interactions happening, but I can't really say if she was excluded or not, because you know, the guys are still trying to talk with her and do things. But I think looking back at it, if you have that mindset of, I think what was she saying in the reunion? She said, I felt like I was, I think she said I wasn't giving a good, a fair chance or her experience was bad because she felt excluded and stuff. As a bombshell, it's going to be hard.
Like you can't go in there and be liked by everybody. Like I knew I was going in there and not going to be liked by everybody, but at the end of the day, we're bombshell. That's what we're here to do. We're here to shake some shit up and I that these people don't want to be your friends or not. You still have to move for yourself. You were more like, hey, I got to make these people, I got to show who I am. You expected the kind of vibe that soul felt as well, but you just didn't let it stop you. Yeah, it's not supposed to because if you want to have chats, pull them for chats. If this person's not interested or you feel like he's not interested in you, then I try to move to the next or pull another chat and address it like, oh, are you interested in me? And then if you're not interested, go into like a friendship conversation. Now instead of trying to move as I'm trying to get coupled up, trying to move as, okay, let me just talk to you now as a friend because I know you're not interested in no more. Instead of just not shutting down, but feeling like you're excluded because no guy or some guys just felt like they're closed off. It's hard to be in a connection coupled up with somebody for a week and two and someone comes in and it's like, now you have to do something better for this one instance that
I'm seeing you or in these next few chats that I have that was sway my connection. But oh, maybe I am a little bit more interested in this new person that came in. You have me. So it's like, it is levels to it. And yet to know how to play it, you can't let one thing stop it. Yeah. Like for me, we'll bring up in the beginning. Kada. Kada was cool. And then I got turned down for the kiss. I was like, ah, she don't fuck with me. I'm going to go with a friendship vibe. I'm not going to pull for chats like I want to have a connection, but I still talk to a little here and there. And just who's small bands and like with friends. And that's just the way I moved instead of being like, oh, he does not fucking with me. She doesn't want to give me a kiss. All right. Let me not be a friend. Let me not be cool with her. So I think you got to play here by your. Sure. Sure. Another person who's oddly gotten a lot of criticism in heat is Zach. And he's kind of had a tough time post villa. From your standpoint, who is that? And I mean, your friends with him, you got to know that's my best, my dog. Why? I mean, I can't ask you why you think he's gotten the criticism.
But like, yeah, for some reason, people thought he was too strategic or he spoke out a lot and they just took that as insincere. I mean, he was like the narrator, right? So like he had a, you know, you would hear like sound bites of him thinking about what I think is going to happen next. And I guess fans kind of took that as like almost him being too strategic rather than leading with his heart, so to speak. I mean, that's one thing when it comes to reality TV, like fans don't want to hear strategy. Yeah. They take that as like it being like disingenuous, like you're thinking too much and not leading with your heart or something. I don't know. Okay. All right. So I remember a kid when him and Bryce were on those like little pink chairs and I think that's when Zach was like, I don't think Trindy likes you or something like that. Yeah, yeah. Like that, which you mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't think Zach is like that. I do know he is in his head sometimes. He does think a lot for sure. But I do it has great intentions, man. He's a great guy. Specifically with Kada.
You see a lot of love between him. Yeah. Oh, 100%. Yeah. Like every time we're in a villa, he would always talk about Kada like, oh, shit. She's bad. Like, damn, yeah. Because she would like put him in his place sometimes. Like, I don't know. He says he loves dominant woman. So it's funny because she's dominant towards him. So it was like, oh, duh. He gets like giddy and shit when she does something very, I guess, dominant. She's like, put this in a trash or Zach can you do this? Takes charge. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're a little famous. Yeah. You got a following. What's your type? I don't really have a specific type. I literally just date off of personality and energy. What kind of personality are usually attracts you? All right. I guess my villa personality was different because I came into the villa and I was like, yo, I want someone that's very bubbly and energetic. Someone that's 24 or 7 has energy. Hi. But that was because I was coming from a low where I was basically secluded and I was like, oh, okay, this energy is nice.
Let me be around it. I like that. But now being outside of the villa, I think, or throughout whole experience, my time has changed on the energy, I guess. It's more like, want you to be like someone who can be outgoing. But also know how to chill and relax, but also still have that high, but not so high where it's like clingy almost. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But that's kind of the energy that I flow with. But I don't really know what is something that would immediately turn you off on a first date. If you tune, but not materialistic, but like, not bougie. Maybe bougie. Yeah. Like you coming in here talking about, like, bro, whenever I want to take you to a coffee day and you're like, coffee, you're gonna fuck you, take me to coffee for like, bro, what? Or can take me to SDK or something like that, you know, spend, spend $500 on me the first night of some, like, bro, it takes time. Like I got to get to know you. Let's get a coffee. Let's do a little days, do dinner, whatever. And then over time, if you're cool, then speaking of bougie, a lot of people got to see your imprimidest exit video in the van.
Which you guys are kind of going back. You guys are kind of going back and forth and she was kind of giving you shit. And then she's like, you were more like, hey, it's a two-way street. We got to get to know each other. And she was like, I know Miami. I've dated DJs. I've dated athletes. I've dated whatever the fuck. The internet had some fun with that clip. What was that like in the moment to hear per me to talk about her kind of dating roster when it comes to Miami? When I heard that, because I've been in situations with girls, I've said that to me before. And that's like, that is a turn off. Because like, why are you telling me about that? But in that conversation, the beginning of it was like, I think she was like, hey, I'm 27. You're 22. These are people that I've already dealt with. And this is the type of vibe that I've already been with. So I know I've explored, but she worded it just horrible. And she knows that. I know that and the world knows it. She said, I've been with rappers, athletes all of that. I was like, damn. Yeah, I was like, why are you telling me? I don't give a fuck.
You feel me? And that's why she was like, does that not change your mind? I was like, no, it doesn't. Because you could literally be a millionaire two weeks ago. You could be a millionaire. And two weeks later, you're not. So you could have that experience that say you don't want to do it. But then when that time comes out there, whatever it may be, you might be back in that situation. And we're probably, she meant it in a way that she's like, she's not easily like necessarily impressed, but like she knows how to be around. Yeah. I think, I mean, I don't really know what was, I didn't really talk to her about it. Yeah, it sounds kind of fucked up, but I guess we know what we talked about. What's a red flag that you have realized that you will ignore when you're dating and you really like a girl. Oh shit. I don't know, breath. Some about like, it's not toxic, the toxic vibe, but it's like, it's like, I don't know, right? It's just a red flag that I overlook. Yeah. Maybe like, yeah, being toxic, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's because like, I don't know,
it's like a fiery moment. You guys are talking, I mean, I hate it. I don't like dealing with arguments. I don't argue for nothing. I don't do that drama stuff, but it's like, I don't know when it just happens, it happens and say, okay, now we're here, it's bad, and then oh, it gets good. So it's like highs and lows, where you fucking up here, you fucking with your dope and then shit. Do you have something you're kind of like embarrassingly attracted to? No. No. Pretty straightforward. Straight forward. Straight forward. I tell you straight up, like, yo, I want to date you, and call it, that's how we move forward. Like first two days of us talking, like, what do you want? Do you want to, like, you want a boyfriend? You see, so then in the future, if you say no, then I bet we're going to be friends of benefits called of a day, but then if you say, yeah, I want a relationship, then I'll be okay, do I want a relationship right now? Then I'll tell you, I don't want a relationship, but your body's cool. You know what I mean? And then we just go progressively. You never know what happens in the future. You know, you build a connection with someone and then might be your wife in the future. Who knows? You never know. You're a pretty young guy, you're only 22. Only 22. And you seem obviously pretty self-aware.
Are you kind of like, you know what? Dating's off the table for me. I'm going to enjoy this experience. I'm not trying to lock in or a couple. Are you still like, you know, because I think you talked about like, you want a family someday. You know, you, while young, you also see mature for your age. You seem like you have a lot of hopes and dreams. So like, what is like a dating in your head? Like nothing's perfect. You can't predict the future, but what's your dating timeline? I think, you know, in the villa. And after the villa, you know, exploring with Parmita and growing that connection. And now being that we're single, we're done with each other. I think I was pushing myself to grow up too fast, you know, because my mindset, I grew up with older parents. So I have that older mindset kind of vibe. So I don't really, I wasn't able to go out when I was young. I wasn't able to go to parties, go to little friends' house. I was able to do sleepovers all of that. So I kind of grew up on my own isolated kind of vibe. So I guess I'm my homebody.
So I don't really go out to clubs. I don't party too crazy every week and stuff. So I was like, oh, I don't do that. That's not, and I'm, now I'm 21. I'm not doing that. Now I'm 22. I'm still not doing it. So fuck it. Let me just try settling down, you know? So I always get them that gave me the idea. Okay, let me just settle down, settle down. Think now being that we're done, I think I'm going to take the step back and actually move as like not an actual young person, but just have fun on my life. You know, explore, experience ups and downs. Give me that experience. So when I'm at the age of 27 plus whatever, I've been through those ups and downs where I was like, oh, I don't have that desire to do that anymore, you know? Yeah. But at the end of the day, I'm so business focused is that like I don't want a party unless there's like some business involved. If I'm connecting with someone, I'm around someone who has, who's going to help me in my future and I can help them in their future, I want to go. You know, I want to grow my business. Kiko's exclusive where it's like, okay, now how am I going to do this, this and this to grow it into something big instead of going out
to party getting blacked out? Because I've done that before and it's like, I'm waking up the next day like, well, I'm not doing nothing the whole day now. Just wasted 48 hours. Yeah. What has there been like a surreal moment and coming out of the villa of like, you know, like meeting a celebrity, you didn't like, you kind of blew your mind or. So we honest, the streaming and YouTube world that I'm going down right, that route that I'm going down right now, it's crazy because these are individuals that I've watched when I was growing up. Like I was young, I was like, bro, like their celebrities, bro, their fame is, I'll never be there, I'll never see them. And the fact that I was able to meet up with those individuals, I'm not can I name drop? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the fact I was able to meet up with DDG, Ben the Don, J. Sanko, Nick, Nick Nassiera, Nassier, I'm butturing his last name, holy shit. But I'm meeting up these individuals I've seen on YouTube and entertainment world and it's like, wow, I'm here with you guys. And now it's like, okay, let me produce some content. Let me get my personality out there.
So I think yeah. Did you before you went on Love Island, what did like a successful career look like to you? And how has that changed now that you are? Okay. And I wonder. Yeah. So I graduated December of 2025 with a marketing degree. I jumped straight into a marketing agency. And I did that for like maybe two, three months almost. And I don't know, for some reason I just wasn't my vibe. I did want to work in a marketing agency. I would like that creative mindset almost. And then I just like, you know what? I don't want to do this no more. Let me quit and figure out something else. At the time I was building my a new company where it was hoping basically being a business promoter. Not a club promoter, but being a business promoter and bringing vendors to events and events to vendors or certain things like that. And then Love Island came. And then now what? What success look like to you? Or what do you hope to make of this? So what do you have? I want to get into the modeling industry, the high fashion model industry.
My parents were never younger. They were models. My sister, she was a model when she was a kid. My brother, he tried modeling when he was a kid. When it came to me, they said, no. I didn't even put me in there. So I'm like, damn, I got to do it on my own now. So now that I have the platform, I'd love to get into some high fashion modeling. You got face man. Acting would be pretty fire actually. Let me take some acting. Have you ever tried? No, I've never tried. But let me take some acting classes. I think, no, let me perfect some things. I think it takes a lot of classes, man. Get into that, do some movies, bro. Then also right now growing into that real estate side, like I said, Cape was exclusive. Got me started in, I was a junior in college, I think when I started that. So now I was like, trying to grow those villas and those runtos out, that's another side aside from the entertainment. Then now I also wanna do the YouTube and the streaming and stuff. So I have two sides. Staying an entertainment world, but then also this is something outside of the entertainment world. Do you hope like the entire group remains friends or do you envision it kind of, some you'll be closer with others? With me?
I know I'm a re-friends with everybody. I'm a be cool with everybody. I can't speak for everybody else, but I know I would like to keep these relationships. It's gonna be hard though, because I am horrible. I'm a horrible communicator to the phone. Like I barely call and text people. I forget to text people back, like, oh, I read the message, and then I read it, and I think I'll text back, and then I don't text back, hours go by, and as I shit, and I'm here. Try to really fucked up your dating life. I'm gonna be really, and I'm gonna trouble with that. Communication is horrible, but I'm a phone call person. Call me on the phone, call it a day. But yeah, I would reach out to everybody, and if we're in the same area, yeah, yeah. Okay. I think the world wants to know, someday you're gonna date, and you're gonna settle down. Yeah. And so we wanna ask you some more, like what are Corbrens kind of dating preferences, do, and don'ts? So question, should a couple know each other's phone password? Yeah. I mean, what would be a reason where you think that would be a red flag? Because don't put yourself in a position you don't wanna be put in. Okay. Like if you think you're,
if you're already going into a relationship where I wanna know this person's password, you have some intentions of, I wanna go through his phone, a parent or the person, they wanna go through the phone. And that's never a good thing. Like I don't even go through phones anymore after my situation. Like there's always one situation where you go through a phone, it's like you'll never look at a phone ever again. You'll never go through it ever again. You did that? Yeah, I did it one time, and I was like, yep, I mean, shit, I put myself here. I found some shit on that. PTSD, now I don't wanna look at your phone. What would, as I got older and had relationships that began and ended, you realize it, like if I got all my girlfriends together, I bet they would all say this shit about me. Like a bad habit I have or just something annoying I do. Like what is something that if I got all your exes together, assume they don't overall say you're a great guy, but would be one thing they're like, yeah, that's motherfucker. I've only been in two relationships. Everything else in my situation, those two relationships were polar opposites of each other. Very polar.
First relationship, that was my first one. I think I was 18. I was a freshman in college. Yeah, freshman, second semester in college. And that was nice. I mean, that was my first time actually settling down with somebody and that was, oh, we can date. Like this is what a relationship feels like having someone in your corner and stuff, but we just, we didn't work out. It was great, you know. It was also very young. In my last one, that was my longest one. So my first one I think I was in there for six months, around six months, yeah. I seen the video. I don't know why she said a year, but. Oh, she made a video. She made a video. I don't know why she said a year. And then my last relationship, I was like a year and a half. That one showed me like, because she was more, she was very family oriented and I'm not family oriented. No, I'm not close to my family in that sense, I mean. And she was very close to her family. In terms of like they spend a lot of time together. Spend a lot of time.
We're not affectionate. We don't say I love you at night and things like that. Now it's kind of going in, because I'm not there 24, seven anymore. She's like, oh, I love you, you know, stuff like that. And I'm also opening up more with them. This experience helped me open up a lot. Like now I know how to communicate about my emotions and stuff. Did it feel like kind of like emotional therapy being there? No, for real. It's my first look. All right, love Island literally has team, like a team for our mental to be good. And that's the first thing. I was always against doing therapy and stuff. I figured you could figure out your own stuff and your own problems and stuff. You don't need to go come fight with someone else. I was always against it until I went into it for real. And I was like, oh, this is amazing. Like now I want to talk with you everyday, because now I need to get this off of my chest, right? So that helped me. And then my emotions through there, like I was a closed wall when I first came into the villa. I was very nonchalant, very chill. Wasn't speaking too much. Like robotic. Yeah, robotic. Then through time of that experience, I started opening up.
Well, fuckers got me to cry. That was a great moment for you, man. They got me to cry. So I was like, damn. Was that the first time crying in front of your friends? First time crying in a few years. I don't think I've cried for real for real or at least shed a tear. And like probably over five, six years. Yeah, it's funny when you say that about like the therapy kind of brings you back when I was on the bachelor a long time ago. And I remember meeting up with one of my boys we're filming with. And he was like, man, I can miss like talking to the producers and stuff. Because like you just, you get so comfortable opening up. And then that ends and you're just like, you want to get back in that chair. Exactly. Just because you want to be able to have this freedom. It's like this safe space. You say whatever. And they're never, and they're not judging you. And you're just just listening to you. It feels good. Yeah, you know, you just get weight off your shoulders. But I do, I do preach that, you know, if you have something in your head for sure, for sure speak to someone about it and just taking their perspective on the whole situation.
But at the end of the day, you're the person that makes a decision, you know? Yeah, you could have all these opinions. You could have people saying words saying left, right, this, this. But at the end of the day, you would be the one to make that decision to go through whatever you want to do. Yeah. But it's for sure good to talk to someone. And I've learned a lot is made like in just when we talk about dating in general, like the younger generation and like Zach and Kate, I will kind of define it because they were like, we don't want to be exclusive or we don't want to be in a relationship. And older guy like me is kind of like, it feels a way to complicated the whole like defining relationships and like, what's the situation? Yeah. Yeah. Versus exclusive versus dating. What is your stance on that? Because being a direct guy like yourself, it seems like a little, it's BS, bro. Yeah. It's like, what's going on? He's out there. You going date? Are you not going date like for me? I don't go on breaks. I think it's a break in a relationship. Like, you don't become boyfriend and girlfriend and go on a break and then do whatever you want to do and then come back to each other. Sometimes that's the case. You come back to each other.
It's like a free path. Is that it? You're dating? You're not dating. Now, being that I was in a situation where I was exclusive with someone, I think that's the step before making it, you know, actually a title, girlfriend and boyfriend. But for me, it's like, how long until after? How long are you going to be in this exclusive title before you make it an actual title title? Because, you know, it's like saying you're with your boyfriend and he hasn't proposed to you in five years when he's going to propose, you know, but you kind of get at that coast where it's like, we've been doing all these ups and downs already moving like it, like, what's the point, you know? And I think that might be the difference as well. I'm like, so direct. Either way, they didn't or not date them. I know your dating experience is limited, but what makes you feel the safest in your relationships? Maybe it friends, be it romantic partners, communication. Communication? Communication is what I stand on heavy because... And to someone who admits you're a bad communicator, like, did that make you feel like, but listen, like, we're often attracted to things we're not good at.
So is that, that's been really helpful for you when you have someone who really opens up? Well, when I say communication, I mean, like, just in terms of just texting us up and in person, yeah, I'll talk with you left, right, left, right, but like, reaching out and actually doing texts in a lot, I don't really do too much of that. I mean, now I'm getting better, but it's not so much like bad communicating, like, about my emotions and how I feel like now it's better because of the whole experience. I know how to talk about my emotions and understand other people. So it's like, that's good. Now I can communicate with that, but it's more so being in the same line. So we're not like being misled between certain actions as someone's doing, like, we're both... You tell me something. I tell you something. I tell you, I feel okay, now that's how we're going to move forward. You know, so we're on the same page instead of being one on this chapter and the other one on this one. Outside of communication, what has being on love island taught you the most about having a successful relationship? It's hard because being in the villa, it's different. It's a different vibe.
You're not really seeing someone that you're connecting, like, you hit up. You're not seeing them 24-7 chatting with them, sleeping next to them in the next 30 minutes for however long that couple goes on for. But I think through that experience, it's for sure communication. That's the only way things will go good. So I'm like, big on it because if you tell one person one thing and you tell another person another thing, now it's like, okay, we're playing telephone here. Someone's going to say this and then they're going to be like, oh, you said this though and then the other day is going to contradict everything and you're going to be a whole world of shit. And then for sure, and then also just being there because during the villa, we had ups and downs. Challenges were stressful for some islanders after they had to see their partner kiss somebody and now they would have to talk with their partner and now like, okay, I was just making feel like this, okay, now you have to be like, oh, I understand where you're coming from, but that's not the case. It's a challenge. You talk with them through it. But then also you have recoupling now.
That's like, okay, that's a very high stress moment because you don't expect to go see put another person after you're building a connection with someone or you might get booted off the villa. So it's not you doing all this stress and it's just all ups and downs. So learning how to just talk with people and understand them that's big. Is there anything we didn't see or that they didn't show that you wish they did? I mean, with Parmita and I, we were given that we just kissed and we're just that we're just two hot people. You're hot. I'm hot. We're almost perfect. So we did have a lot more chats than that. That were longer. There was one edit or one scene where I was like, she asked me, I want to get to know you or there's something on a deeper level. And I said, yeah, slap your eyes and say, give me a kiss or something like, you're really cut that whole combo out. And I was like, oh, so I see how they now I can see other worlds says, okay, we're just kissing. We're intimate. We're just two sexual people, you know, we're lustful. That's the word that they usually call lustful people. It's someone who now is going to recognize in public.
What is the best way someone can approach you in public that makes you still feel like safe and it's a fun situation? And do you like being approached in public? Oh, I love it. 100%. I love it. Like, it's amazing seeing how they just, so it's funny. There's two types of individuals that come up. There's some that just, they'll walk, walk, walk. They'll recognize you and they'll be like, wait, it would look like you know they're scared to kind of ask for a photo or just say hi or something. And then I'll see them. I make eye contact. Hey, and they come. Yeah, you can take a picture. You know, that's funny because then that their whole vibe changes like, oh my God. I thought you were going to say no, or I thought you're just going to be stuck up or something like that. You're actually very chill, dude. And it's seeing that smile. And the second person is like, they see you from a mile away. All 32s just smile. And like, oh my gosh. Corvus, they tell me, they say all my voice stems before they say my name. They say my voice names. They're like, my voice stems are like, Melanie. Melanie. It's like, this is a smoothie or something like they say all of those before they say,
oh Corbin is you. But sometimes they say, oh Corbin is you from Laval and it is so cool. But I love all the interiors. Have you had any family members and memes to you about yourself or have you sent, have you sent your own memes? My grandma. My great, alright. That's one thing I did not expect because I didn't tell her about it because she's very religious and I didn't tell her anything about me going on a show where I'm kissing multiple women and putting my body out there. So she was, she was like, oh, she was just praying for me every time she's seen it because she just watches YouTube for live television. And YouTube showed all my goddamn clips on the shorts. So she's over there. She's, well, she's 80, 81 now. So she's over there on the TV, just scrolling, scrolling. And she sees all these clips of her grandchild just on there like, what is Corbin doing? Oh my gosh. And now she's seeing all the voice stems. She said, she sent me a video saying Melanie. And she said, I think she said, can I get a kiss and her like voice and stuff. I was like, oh my god, grandma, how do you know this? But she's my biggest support.
She's my biggest supporter. That's awesome, man. Well, I know you had your gun. It's been great getting to know you, man. I wish you the best of luck. I wish you the best of luck. Thank you. I really enjoyed watching you, man. I thought you were really a unique person. And I always like the people who like present is one way you can tell there's something more like reality TV puts us all these in these silos. And now we have an opportunity to get to know you, the human beings. So I look forward to get to know you more as you put yourself out there and just the best of luck with everything, man. It's fun to see you have this success. Thank you. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. Can I name drop? Like, maybe even something. What do you want? Because what you're talking about is, you know, getting to know me and stuff, I've already built a long form kind of, I already built a platform on love Island with long form content. And they've seen a certain side. And now for me to show my actual personality, yeah, I might have robotic manu rhythms and stuff, but I'm, I have a personality. You know, I'm human and it case anyone did it now. If you're a person, no, I am human.
I'm a real person. But the one way to bring that out is through my YouTube channel, you know, and just doing that long form content and also getting into streaming and just interacting with everyone that just wants to ask me questions or just be a part of my life. And that's just where I'm going through now. And what and and where can they find it? Oh, y'all can find my YouTube by a Corbisky, C-O-R-B-I-S-K-I-I. Twitch is the same thing, Instagram is the same thing and TikTok is the same thing. You gamer? No, no. What are you doing on Twitch? Twitch is I'm just for live stream, IRL live stream. Gotcha, IRL live stream. So day to day, you know, I might be going to the gym. I might be going out. I might be going on a trip. So I'm trying to get into the luxury, the lifestyle, the traveling, the having fun. I'm 22 in Miami. You know, let's see what a see what the connections take me. All right, man. Any any TV in your future outside of love competition shows? Oh, yeah, I can't do no more dating shows. Okay. I can't do that. I was a one and done experience and I'm glad I did it with the biggest one, Love Island. So, but I would probably do like, what is it?
Traders? Yeah. Traders is pretty cool, right? I think that's like the challenges and so. Yeah, I like that one. I would do something competitive, nothing, kissing related anymore. Okay. I think I put myself in that. I think I'll go into that. All right. Well, best of luck, man. Again, it's been, I appreciate you taking the time. It's been great getting to know you and I'm excited to see how things take off, man. Yeah, me too. Thank you so much. Appreciate you.
