Ryan flew back from the West Coast with a new tattoo, and absolutely zero fashion inspiration to show for the trip. New York clocked him landing and immediately hit us with a nor'easter out of spite. We are frozen, we are recovering, and we are still very much in our Virgo Season era.This week's Am I The Asshole might be the messiest one we've read all year, and that is saying something. Family sides get picked, a wedding gets crashed emotionally if not literally, and Ryan's official ruling involves locking up an entire family tree.Quick hits take us through Hillman University's new generation with the A Different World sequel series, the Chris Brown and Usher honor that had half the internet asking "sir, why," and a very deserved Druski shoutout for Virgo season.Then things get interesting. Nathalie holds Joyhdae's feet to the fire on last week's Colin Kaepernick versus Jay-Z take, so we are back with round two. And Nikole Hannah-Jones dropped an 8,000 word New York Times follow up on her daughter's education that has grown adults fighting in their group chats. We have a lot to say about all of it.⸻Segment BreakdownCold Open: Nor'easters, New Tattoos, and Why LA Fashion Let Us DownRyan survived the worst flight of his life and came back looking different. Joyhdae remains unimpressed by the West Coast. New York stays undefeated.Am I The Asshole?A marriage, a secret from five years ago, and a family reunion that should legally require a subpoena. We are not spoiling this one. You need to hear it cold.Quick Hit: A Different World Comes Back for a New GenerationDeborah Wayne, Hillman University, and enough callbacks to hit the nostalgia without any of the reheated nachos. Joyhdae is fully locked in.Quick Hit: Chris Brown, Usher, and the Honor Nobody Asked ForJasmine Crockett and a Texas state rep put Chris Brown and Usher on a stage together, and the internet had questions the second his name got mentioned near anything shaped like an accolade.Quick Hit: Druski Is Doing Virgo ThingsA September 12th birthday, a Black Chambers partnership nobody talks about, and a net worth that will make you rethink your own career choices.Colin Kaepernick vs. Jay-Z, Round TwoLast week we gave a take. This week a listener showed up with sources, and we are grown enough to say she had a point. Multiple things can be true at once.Nikole Hannah-Jones and the Cost of Being Somebody's Social ExperimentAn essay, a thirteen year old daughter, and a debate about savior complexes versus a system that was never built to change. Ryan brings his own family's version of this story to the table.Dad Jokes: Ashley Came CorrectCorny, groan worthy, and fully submitted by the people. We would not have it any other way.⸻ If you've ever had family pick the wrong side, sat through an awards show honoring someone who probably shouldn't have been there, argued about whether the new A Different World does Hillman justice, or spent way too long thinking about what your own education did or didn't prepare you for, this episode is for you.Drop a comment:Was the family in this AITA out of pocket, or is she really the problem?Should Chris Brown be getting honored for anything right now?Did Nikole Hannah-Jones do too much, or not enough?We read every single one.⸻Connect With Us:Email: [email protected]: Virgoseasonshow.comYouTube, TikTok, Instagram, & Threads: @VirgoSeasonShowRyan: @OhBlackRyanJoyhdae: @JoyhdaeSubscribe, leave a review, & hit the bell to turn on notifications.  New episodes drop weekly.

This is technically our last episode of actual Virgo season, and we are not about to let that pass quietly. Also it's Ryan's birthday week, which means Joyhdae recorded in the shirt with his face on it. On purpose. As a gift.We open with Virgos Doing Virgo Things, because apparently Beyoncé has been quietly funding scholarships, disaster relief, and a homeless shelter in Houston while y'all argue about an empty merch box. This week's AITA isn't sponsored by us for once, it's sponsored by a listener, and it might be the most tender one we've read in a minute. Then we speed run the headlines before landing on the one that actually mattered this week. Macklemore said "Free Palestine" from a stage he was sharing with Ed Sheeran, and within a week he wasn't on the tour anymore. We have a lot to say about who gets punished for speaking up and who gets to stay quiet.⸻Segment BreakdownVirgos Doing Virgo ThingsRyan puts Beyoncé's receipts on the table. The philanthropy nobody talks about. He dares you to still say you don't like her.AITA (Not Sponsored By Us, For Once)Brought to us by a listener this week. We're not spoiling it, just know it got us both quiet for a second.Speed RoundDurk walks, the Emmys were the Emmys, Law Roach is cheating and we said it, that Northwest concert clip, and Colin Kaepernick coming for Jay-Z's NFL deal with a book to promote.Macklemore, Ed Sheeran, and the Price of Saying SomethingRobert Kraft, a canceled tour spot, a million dollar donation, and a conversation about free speech that we could not wrap in twenty minutes.Dad vs. Auntie JokesRyan officially names the segment mid-recording. The bar was on the floor. We limboed under it anyway.⸻ If you've got opinions about who gets punished for speaking up, if beef and burgers have ever gotten confused in your house, or if you just want to see how deep Beyoncé's receipts go, this one's for you.

We're back (kind of), and Fat Joe picked a wild week to call himself the Blackest man in the room.  Ryan needed a summer to touch grass. Joyhdae turned 43 and drank accordingly. In between, we recorded on the 25th anniversary of 9/11, watched Apple ask $2,000 for a phone that folds, and got very into our feelings about who gets to say what and who gets called what. This is the refresh, again. Fewer hot takes for the sake of hot takes, more of the actual conversations we have in our group chat.⸻Segment BreakdownWe're Back (Barely)Ryan's summer break, Joyhdae's 43rd birthday hangover, and why the show is getting a little more grown from here on out.9/11, Twenty Five Years LaterA real moment before the chaos. Rest in peace to the people we lost, and to the New Yorkers who were never quite the same after.Am I The Asshole: Baby Number TwoA brother has quietly covered his sisters kids school fees for two years. Then his sister announced baby number two, and he decided he's done contributing. Half the family calls it self-preservation. The other half calls him the villain of the year.Fat Joe Says He's “The Blackest”Fat Joe went on the Joe Budden Podcast and declared himself the Blackest N-word in the room, in front of a room full of Black men who said nothing. We break down race versus ethnicity versus nationality, and the Beyoncé double standard nobody wants to name.iPhone Duo, Apple's $2,000 AskApple unveiled its first foldable iPhone and Ryan is ready to  order one. Joyhdae is staying exactly where she is, thank you.Wordle, The Ancestors, and Aging GracefullyA new PCP, an unfortunate Hims ad, and a Wordle winning streak Ryan insists is spiritual and Joyhdae insists is theft.Dad vs. Auntie JokesTwo bottles of Veuve deep.

So, Ryan announced our August break live on air before Joyhdae could ease into it. No warning. No transition. Just "I don't know what you're doing, but I'm taking a break in August, thanks."  Dropped it on us like a Flex bomb. Anyway. The streets is calling and both Virgos are answering. The hoochie daddy shorts are in effect, the cocoa butter is on the knees, and this man discovered fabric scissors and has been cropping every shirt he owns since.Somewhere between chaos and clarity, that's where Virgo Season lives. We’re not leaving y'all empty handed. Here's one more before we go outside. See y'all in actual Virgo season.⸻Segment BreakdownOutside Is Calling (The Break Announcement)Ryan told y'all before he told me. We're gone for August. Fabric scissors, gym selfies, and one man's midlife niceness are all involved.Sock Sock Shoe Shoe (Round 47)The longest running debate on this show returns. Ryan is still convinced Joyhdae's method is evidence of serial killer tendencies. Toilet paper direction also got dragged into it.Am I The AssholeGrief, family, and one decision that split an entire household. Both of us had to sit with this one.

Somewhere between a Yankee Stadium spiritual awakening and a nationwide lettuce crisis, we recorded this episode. And listen, the writers of America The Soap Opera did NOT take the week off.Joyhdae and Ryan are still floating from JAŸ-Z's three night residency at Yankee Stadium (yes, both of us went, no, we are not okay), Ryan is child-free and barely knows what week it is, and somehow we still delivered. There's death. There's mystery. There's a parasite. There's a scam. There's HOV. That's not a teaser, that's the actual rundown.Also Natalie sent a voice note. On the work phone. Ryan has thoughts.⸻Segment BreakdownAITA: Wine at the Kids' TableA solo traveler in Tenerife, a family of five with opinions, and a glass of wine that mysteriously disappears. What she orders next is the reason we can never say we're the bigger person. We give our honest takes and reveal exactly how petty each of us would have been. (Spoiler: very.)Lindsey Graham Is Gone... and Where Is Mitch?Senator Lindsey Graham died suddenly at 71, and the internet showed exactly zero grace. Meanwhile the Mitch McConnell conspiracy theories are conspiracy-ing, because y'all really thought one AI-looking photo was gonna hold us over? Somebody go do a welfare check.The Lettuce Situation (Cyclospora Outbreak 2026)The worst cyclospora outbreak on record, 7,000 cases and counting, and nobody can tell us where it's coming from because somebody pulled the research. We talk salads, spinach supremacy, and why Joyhdae hasn't touched a tomato since the Bush administration.Boosie Paid $600K For a Pardon That Never ExistedTwo convicted felons told Boosie Badazz they had Trump on speed dial. They did not. We discuss the scam, the typo-filled contract, and why our sympathy is currently unavailable. Please leave a message.Leave KevOnStage AloneIt's the third time this year y'all have been mad at this man, and this round might be the silliest one yet. We get into church folk, shame culture, and why the pastor who stays in a scandal gets more grace than a comedian being honest.HOV Did That: JAŸ-Z’s Yankee Stadium ResidencyThree nights. Three completely different shows. Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, and an extra innings finale that started after midnight and ended with fireworks at 2:45 AM on a work night. Blue Ivy on the keys, Eminem out the cave, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, and enough Easter eggs to keep the internet busy until next summer. We were both in the building and we are STILL not over it.Dad vs Auntie JokesShout out to Hudson. That's all we're legally allowed to say. The punchlines stay in the episode.⸻Drop It:If you're still recovering from the JAŸ-Z weekend, if you've side-eyed a salad this month, or if you've ever been told "words mean things" in a group chat, this episode is for you.How petty would YOU have been at that Tenerife dinner table?Do you actually believe Mitch McConnell is okay?Which night of the JAŸ-Z residency was the best?

Somebody check on Joyhdae because Hov weekend has her heart rate at concert levels and the episode hasn’t even started.But before the celebration, we go where the culture needs us to go. This week we sit with the story of Nolan Wells, the 18-year-old Mississippi athlete who went on a boat trip with his friends and never came home. His phone was on the boat. His data was wiped. His friends left without him. We talk about what this story triggers for Black parents, why “we come together, we leave together” is a survival rule and not a vibe, and Ryan gets real about the moment he became OhBlackRyan.Then the chaos arrives on schedule. Big Tigger’s household is a whole Tyler Perry pilot. SZA joins the neurospicy club (welcome, sister). Beyoncé dropped Morning Dew on the 4th of July and started a 60-day countdown that has us adjusting our savings accounts. And Jay-Z is throwing himself a three-night extravaganza at Yankee Stadium, which means outfit deliberations, pop-up temptations, and guest appearance predictions.Plus: we finally break down The Polygamist. Spoilers included. Franklin the Turtle slander included. Ryan watched 11 episodes of a show he calls garbage. Make it make sense.⸻Segment BreakdownAm I the Asshole?A 43-year-old traveling man, a single mom of two, six years, zero kid meetings. Joyhdae and Ryan land in very different places. The gavel gets banged.Justice for NolanThe Nolan Wells case, what doesn’t add up, and the conversation Black parents can’t avoid. Handled with care, but handled honestly.The Big Tigger SituationDomestic charges, a defamation lawsuit, a kidnapping arrest on I-85. Every week a new episode of As the World Turns. Mr. Tigga, please.Morning Dew SeasonBeyoncé re-recorded a leaked demo, set a countdown to September 4th, and we are financially bracing ourselves. Act III? B’Day 20? Something’s coming.Hov Weekend LoadingYankee Stadium. Three nights. Two hosts on two different days (Joyhdae fumbled a bag, allegedly). Knicks jerseys, Timbs on standby, and guest predictions.The Polygamist (Full Spoilers)22 episodes of beautifully packaged trash. We knew who did it. We watched anyway. Jonas deserved worse.Dad vs Auntie JokesSubmissions from the Framily this week, including one so dark Joyhdae needed a moment.

We barely survived a heat wave, a hologram, and a Facebook group full of accidentally colonized racists. We survived a heat wave, a hologram, and a Facebook group full of accidentally colonized racists. Ryan spent half the episode sweating. Somebody get us some water.This week Joyhdae and Ryan are melting through the hottest week of the summer and somehow that’s the least unhinged part of the episode. Ryan just got back from the Left Coast with a new tattoo, a Liberty championship to brag about, and zero patience for Trump telling a crowd he “spoke to” Theodore Roosevelt, forgetting the man has been dead since 1919 and that he was actually talking to a hologram. A group of racists made a Facebook page called White and Proud, forgot to set it to private, and Black Twitter has moved in permanently. Young Miami’s “Spend That” has India Arie and Nicki Gilbert big mad, and Ryan’s out here defending it as the unofficial song of the summer while Joyhdae builds out a whole thesis on duality. Druski hosted the BET Awards and cooked, but Ryan has real questions about who’s actually running the show since the Paramount buyout. Plus a fake Janet Jackson AI video has Ryan on the verge of losing to the algorithm, Joyhdae is begging him and his wife to watch a South African telenovela immediately, and this week’s AITA has a man refusing to lend his girlfriend of four years money for college without a legal agreement, a case Ryan and Joyhdae land on very differently.⸻Segment BreakdownAm I the Asshole?A man, his girlfriend, and a debt repayment agreement. Ryan says leave the relationship. Joyhdae says leave the man.Ryan’s Left Coast Recap and the Liberty WinNew ink, a Commissioner’s Cup, and Ryan defending the WNBA’s honor before they even get into the news.America’s Birthday Flop and the Roosevelt HologramAn empty fairground, a gold eagle, and Ryan saying he has to laugh to keep from crying.White and Proud (and Fully Compromised)A racist Facebook group forgot how privacy settings work. The results speak for themselves.Young Miami’s “Spend Dat” DiscourseIndia Arie has thoughts. Nicki Gilbert has more thoughts. Ryan’s fully on the song’s side and Joyhdae has a whole sermon about it.BET Awards: Druski’s ReignThe youngest host in BET history took over the ceiling and got the best ratings in years.

Recording at the butt ass of midnight. Ryan's catching a flight in a few hours. Joyhdae's on Cutwater. And somehow this is one of the most substantive episodes we've done.We covered a LOT. A sister who bit the hand that was funding her honeymoon and got exactly what she deserved. YG dropped a six-minute song called "Tiffany" that split the internet clean in half -- and we actually sat with why the framing matters and not just whether it "slaps." A JPMorgan executive lost her six-figure job over a Knicks parade trash can (and brought it home on the subway, juices and all). Nine-year-old Young Roddo is going viral -- but the conversation shifted when his second song dropped and it wasn't about school anymore. And Jay-Z celebrated 30 years of Reasonable Doubt like only Jay-Z can: free Brooklyn pop-ups, a Yankee Stadium takeover, fireworks over the Hudson, and a limited library card that has Joyhdae considering going to Brooklyn willingly.Oh, and Beyonce dropped a Cecred vlog that had us in our feelings -- and low-key reminded everyone why you don't come for the Carters.⸻Segment BreakdownAITA: The Honeymoon That Got RescindedShe paid the "practice child" tax. Her sister disrespected her at every turn, assumed the money was guaranteed, and found out the hard way that Virgos have a latch on that switch. The $5,000 went bye bye. And Joyhdae had words for the parents too.YG "Tiffany" -- The Song Nobody's Ready to Talk About RightSix minutes. A trans woman. A man named Chris. And a conversation that the internet is having loudly and mostly badly. Ryan and Joyhdae don't duck it -- they go into the real question: what does it mean when the framing of a story is the harm, even if the ending isn't?The JPMorgan Trash Can ChroniclesAngie Baez. 40 years old. Executive Director. Knicks gear. One commemorative trash can. A subway ride home. And a termination letter. We understand the energy. We do not understand the decision-making.Young Roddo and the Age-Appropriate Music ConversationHe's nine. He's from Chicago. Benny Blanco and Brent Faiyaz are in his comments. And Ryan and Joyhdae have thoughts about what happens when the internet catches a child and the parents let it run. Plus: why don't kids have options anymore?Jay-Z's Reasonable Doubt at 30 -- Your Fave Could NeverFree pop-ups in Dumbo. Archival footage. The actual Lexus from the Dead Presidents video. A Brooklyn library card. Three sold-out nights at Yankee Stadium. Fireworks over the Hudson. And not a single new album in sight. We need y'all to study this.The Blueprint: Beyonce, Blue Ivy, and Eight Years of LocsJay grew his hair out because his five-year-old told him she didn't feel confident about hers. Eight years later, Blue's hair is down her back and her passport is stamped. Beyonce filmed the whole loc removal for Cecred and casually ended the conversation about that man's hair. Nicki Minaj is somewhere quiet.⸻Drop it in the comments:If you've ever questioned your taste in music, lost a job over a moment of chaos, or just needed someone to explain why Jay-Z is built different -- this one's for you.Drop a comment:Was YG's "Tiffany" brave storytelling or harmful framing? Should Young Roddo's parents pump the brakes? And do you agree that your fave could never?Subscribe and turn on notifications -- you don't want to miss what's coming next.New episodes weekly.⸻Connect With Us:Email: [email protected]: Virgoseasonshow.comYouTube, TikTok & Instagram: @VirgoSeasonShowRyan: @OhBlackRyanJoyhdae: @JoyhdaeSubscribe, leave a review, & hit the bell to turn on notifications.  ⸻We're grateful for your continued support.  We couldn't do it without you.  This show is a labor of love.  We thank you!

Cutwater got Joyhdae sweating, the Knicks are world champions, and somehow we still found time to argue about bathroom etiquette, JAŸ-Z’s vinyl, and a $200k check that bounced. Welcome to the most New York episode we have ever recorded.Somewhere between chaos and clarity, that is where Virgo Season lives.⸻Segment BreakdownAm I the Asshole?This one had Joyhdae picking a side fast and she is not backing down. You have to hear the full thing to get it.Knicks Are Champions53 years in the making. A parade Ryan watched from his couch with a bad back and zero regrets. We get into Jalen Brunson, the Bill Russell Trophy, and why a certain Spurs player is now public enemy number one.JAŸ-Z and the Target DiscourseThreads has had this conversation on lock for over a month and Joyhdae is done with it.

We unpack who was actually in the wrong here.DC Landmarks: Two HeadachesA judge orders one name removed from a building and a man is still talking about a promenade nobody asked for.Obama Center Opens11 years in the making and it finally opened on Juneteenth.

We called it. Before tip off, before Game 5, before any of it. Joyhdae opened this episode with a freestyle. A prediction. "Knicks and what? Five." Ryan closed the whole thing out with a dad joke about the same exact thing. And now we have to sit here knowing we were right the entire time.This was a pure vibes episode. No research. No prep. Just wine, a Caribbean This or That that almost started a family feud, and a championship prediction that came true less than 24 hours later. Jalen Brunson dropped 45 points, the Knicks closed it out in San Antonio, and New York has its first title since 1973. We are professionals now. Put it on our resumes.⸻Segment BreakdownThis or That: Caribbean EditionAll inclusive resort or local rental. Jerk chicken or stew chicken. Coconut water or cane juice. Then roti versus doubles turned into a full Guyanese versus Trinidadian food debate that Ryan says he will fight his own family over. Sorrel versus Malta got personal too. Somebody also brought up oxtail pizza. That should not have happened.Am I OverreactingA woman's fiance just told her his family spent eleven months secretly testing her to make sure she wasn't a gold digger. He thinks this is good news. She does not. We have a ring opinion and we are saying it with our whole chest.The JAŸ-Z ConversationJay-Z's Roots Picnic freestyle is still living in everybody's head, including Bobby Shmurda's apparently. Joyhdae has thoughts about who has actually earned the right to have an opinion here, and Dame Dash gets named even though nobody called him.Stephen A. Versus the PresidentThe Knicks lost a game, Stephen A. Smith pointed a finger at a very famous attendee for disrupting the mojo, and that man did not take it well. We have questions about who actually wins this one.Knicks in 5!The freestyle, the Game 4 comeback for the history books, the parade timeline speculation, and why New York currently feels like a different city. Lady Liberty better be ready.Dad vs Auntie Jokes: Pride Month EditionJoyhdae brought one home for Pride Month and for once, somehow, it was the wholesome one.⸻Drop it in the comments:If you have ever made a prediction confidently enough that it scared you when it came true, if your family has Caribbean food beef and you've already picked a side, or if you just want to process a 53 year championship drought ending with people who get it, this one's for you.  You don't want to miss what's next, because apparently we're calling championships now...Tell us: What's your favorite Caribbean dish?New episodes weekly.⸻Connect With Us:Email: [email protected]: Virgoseasonshow.comYouTube, TikTok & Instagram: @VirgoSeasonShowRyan: @OhBlackRyanJoyhdae: @JoyhdaeSubscribe, leave a review, & hit the bell to turn on notifications.  ⸻We're grateful for your continued support.  We couldn't do it without you.  This show is a labor of love.  We thank you!⸻CHAPTERS00:00 — Intro00:05 — Opening Banter12:03 — The Rundown13:18 — This or That: Caribbean Edition33:25 — Am I Overreacting?43:52 — The JAŸ-Z Conversation52:06 — Stephen A.
