Virgo Season

Ryan’s officially been OUTSIDE! This episode kicks off with Ryan sharing his latest adventures in NYC—he attended a Beyoncé listening event, hung out at Madison Square Garden, and caught the Knicks and Liberty in action. The city is electric with sports energy as the Liberty fight for a WNBA championship, and both the Mets and Yankees are looking to set up a potential Subway Series. Ryan’s excitement is off the charts, and he’s got all the details on why New York is about to hit pandemonium levels!
Next, Ryan opens up about a hilarious therapy session where his therapist called him an “old man.” Is Ryan really stepping into his "old man era"? Joyhdae has thoughts, and the two dive into how aging sneaks up on you and how therapy can bring unexpected moments of self-discovery. From reflecting on his habits to embracing his new "vibes," Ryan’s figuring out how to balance wisdom with staying outside!
This week's “Am I the Asshole?” segment features one of the most jaw-dropping listener submissions yet. Betrayal, family drama, and a shocking discovery leave both Ryan and Joyhdae speechless. You won’t want to miss their reactions to this intense situation.
On the music front, Ryan’s been vibing to Samara Joy’s new album Portrait, and he’s fully in his feelings. Meanwhile, Joyhdae is hyped about Gloria Hallelujah's latest project, bringing the energy and confidence to match her vibe. The duo also dive into how music can be a powerful tool for emotional release and creativity.
But it wouldn’t be Virgo Season without some messy pop culture talk! Jaguar Wright and Orlando Brown are back, making headlines again with their latest wild podcast appearance. Ryan and Joyhdae break down their outrageous claims and question why these two keep getting platforms. From conspiracy theories to shocking accusations, it’s a chaotic ride.
We also dive into the drama between Halle Bailey and DDG, who recently called it quits. What’s really going on? Joyhdae gives her take on why DDG keeps making headlines for the wrong reasons and why his recent comments about 9-to-5 workers sparked controversy. Is everyone meant to be a boss, or is hustle culture pushing unrealistic expectations?
Speaking of controversy, Pastor Keion Henderson stirred things up with a recent sermon claiming that giving to the poor doesn’t lead to blessings, only tithing to the church does. Ryan and Joyhdae don’t hold back in this heated discussion about faith, community, and the true meaning of giving.
In fashion news, the 2025 Met Gala has announced its theme, and it’s all about celebrating Black excellence in fashion! With a theme centered on “Superfine Tailoring: Black Style”, this year’s Met Gala will highlight Black dandyism and its influence on global trends. Ryan and Joyhdae share their thoughts on what we can expect, the impact of Black designers, and who will show up and show out on the red carpet. Will we see true tributes to Black culture, or will some celebrities totally miss the mark?
Finally, the episode wraps up with the classic dad joke showdown. Who’s bringing the best (or worst) puns this week? Stick around for some laughs!
