Transcript
00:00I have all my 10 toes, okay? Not one missing, and neither do you guys. Even if you do have
00:05less toes missing, how many toes you got, baby? Just be standing on your feet, period.
00:09Hi, I'm Marie Claire. It's Amaya Papaya, and we are here with solicited advice.
00:16Okay, let's see. First question. What's a go-to clapback I can use when someone tries to come
00:22for me? I have a lot. If I'm not your cup of tea, don't drink it. And if I'm too
00:28much for you,
00:29find something that's less. I'm taking a trip to New York City. What's your advice for having the
00:36best day there, according to a logo? Ooh, yeah, yeah, I already know. Just explore the whole city.
00:41There's always something to do here. It's a city that never sleeps. It's literally a concrete jungle.
00:46There's so much diversity here, so many different types of culture. So just really indulge in your
00:52whole day, and you know, you can always go to TikTok and find a good restaurant. Amaya,
00:58how do I know if my crush really likes me? You would know if your crush really likes you
01:04if he puts an effort into pursuing you and getting to know you. He plans dates. He talks
01:10to you nice. And he also tries to understand you. I feel like in a relationship, it's all
01:15about understanding each other and just meeting each other at a middle ground. If he's not meeting
01:20you in the middle ground, baby, this is not an earthquake. So let him fall through his cracks,
01:24okay? Amaya, I've never been in a serious relationship. Should I apply to a reality dating
01:34show? I feel like you should do anything that you naturally want to do. So if you feel like
01:41you want to go on a dating show and you're in the right mental place and have the confidence
01:46and you know that you don't need validation from anybody, then that's your perfect opportunity to
01:52go on a dating show. Because it's not guaranteed that you will find someone, but regardless,
01:59you'll leave for your heart in full whether you leave with someone or not. That's the real tea.
02:04What's your advice for keeping your Dominican blowout intact all week? Baby, that doobie. You sleep
02:15with your hair scarf on in the nighttime and you wake up silky, all fresh. But yeah, that's the real
02:22advice right there. So if you guys don't know about Dominican doobies, now you know.
02:26Next question. What's your spiciest advice for heating things up in the room? I have a lot,
02:34okay? Whenever I'm in the bedroom, you need to make sure the AC is on because that's how much
02:40we spice things up there, okay? My spiciest advice is to just really be sexy. Like be open to exploring
02:48any like options that make you feel comfortable and also a little sweet talk in the air, okay? That's
02:55okay. Brian can let you know what I be telling him. What's your advice for dealing with someone
03:02who thinks I'm too extra? Oh my God. Okay. Well, as you guys know, I'm a little extra myself. So
03:09this is a perfect question for me. If someone thinks you're too much, go find lesbate. We're
03:14not in math. I'm not going to be subtracting anything about myself. Be you to the fullest.
03:18There's nothing wrong with being too extra. The more extra you are, the more pluses you get.
03:23When is it time to put an ex on the permanent block list? Once you're my ex, you're exed out
03:30my life. Like that's just my policy for real. There's no need to be friends. It's okay to be
03:34casual and cordial with them and mature civilians. But if you were once my romantic partner and we
03:41never even had that platonic friendship to begin with, why do I need to have you in my life?
03:46Amaya, I wish I had your compliments. Oh, yours are too cute. What's your advice on standing 10
03:52toes down? Just always being true to yourself and never bending your boundaries. You know,
03:58just be very linear with it and just know what you stand for. Because last time I shagged,
04:04I have all my 10 toes. Okay. Not one missing. And even if you do have less toes missing,
04:09how many toes you got, baby? Just be standing on your feet. Period. Amaya,
04:13I need your advice for creating the perfect breakup voice memo. Can you help me? Let me think. Can you
04:21help me? Of course I can. The perfect breakup voice memo is I'm done and just block that. Once you
04:27get to that point of a breakup that you truly know that you're, you're just done and you don't have
04:34to provide any explanation like going further. What's your advice for navigating the world as a
04:40sensitive gangster? Being true to your emotions. It's okay to show emotions. We're human and we all
04:46have the right to feel the way that we do. But also knowing what to stand your ground when needed
04:52to be
04:52and speaking up for yourself. Because if you don't advocate for yourself, then no one will. You have
04:57to always have your own back. The gang is growing. So if you were a sensitive gangster too, what's up?
05:02Hello. Welcome to the gang. For more of my solicited advice, make sure you're going to tune in for
05:09the Love, Ida, and USA Benunion, premiering and streaming on Peacock, August 25th.
05:15Oh wait, that was a horrible show. Should I do that again?
