Okay, no, babe, we do not have Amaya from Love Island physically on this episode. She is still in the villa ironing her pajamas and finding love. But our New Yorker of the Week is spiritually Amaya Papaya, the radiant NYC force currently representing us on reality TV's most unhinged stage.

We’re obsessed. We’re inspired. We’re treating this as a manifestation episode. Amaya, call us when you're back. We love you!!

Tune in as we chat through:

• Our most New York moments of the week

• A full Amaya appreciation segment

• Why she’s already entered the canon of NYC legends

She’s not on the pod (yet), but her essence is everywhere.
