Virgo Season

Ryan is being rotisseried by his own radiator, the iPhone Duo pre-order broke him, and Kelly Clarkson is going toe to toe with a $15,000 bird. Somewhere in the middle of all that, Ryan said "whatever tickles your pickle." Joyhdae claimed it as the title on the spot. Ryan did not get a vote. It is October 15th in New York, so the heat is finally on, and Ryan's apartment has decided to...

Rihanna ended a whole person with one word this week. "Damn." That's it. That's the comment. Meanwhile, the Framily mailed us a puzzle of our own faces, so yeah, we're basically celebrities now. Can't tell us nothing. This was supposed to be the light episode. Keyword: supposed. Ryan finally ran back Virgos Doing Virgo Things, Joyhdae finally paid her debt to Nathalie wit...

Joyhdae is running on two and a half hours of sleep and a smoke detector with a vendetta. Ryan is slapping his own arm in public because his new tattoo itches. Somehow, we still made a show. We start light, then we do not stay light. Joyhdae explains why your brain doesn't know your eyes exist (Ryan did not follow and will be fixing it in the edit). Ryan asked Gemini to explain Virgo Season an...

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 somethi...

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&#...

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....

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 di...

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 sti...

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 wi...

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 epi...

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 ac...

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 Breakdown Am I the Asshole? This one had Joyhdae picking a side fast and she is no...

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 almos...

A mother-in-law turned the honeymoon into a crime scene. The Knicks are going to the Finals. And Kevin Hart decided to die on the hill of Tony Hinchcliffe. This episode had no chill from the jump. This week’s AITA has a title that’ll stop you mid-scroll — and the full story is even wilder. Ray J stepped into an MMA cage allegedly weeks after a heart scare, got knocked out in round two, and somehow...

Gemini season is upon us and we came to collect. This episode is giving cult psychology, fake rich energy, political corruption, a sad 12-year-old’s album, and Euphoria dragging itself across the finish line. The Knicks are up 2-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals and Ryan is already calling in sick to work for the parade. This week: a man refused to take custody of his brother’s kids after he pass...

Y’all had a LOT to say about last week’s episode. So much that we had to open with the receipts. Ryan is still standing by his take. The comment section is still unhinged. And somehow in the middle of all of that, we ended up talking about a Dominican village where one in every 90 children is born appearing female… and grows a penis at puberty. Make it make sense. This week we got into all of it —...

WHERE THE HELL IS NANCY GUTHRIE? A new virus is on a boat no country will let dock, Love & Hip Hop got a funeral date, and Spirit Airlines is trying to come back as a co-op. We were recording while the Knicks were in the playoffs. We are not okay. The Met Gala gave us Blue Ivy being thirteen going on untouchable, Jeff Bezos paying $10 million to look like a Macy’s clearance rack, and Tyla appr...

Let’s just say the country is doing a lot right now. And so are we. Trump wants his face on your passport. The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act. Klay Thompson love-bombed Megan Thee Stallion with a boat named the SS Stallion, a Bentley, and a house — and then cheated on her. And somehow the White House Correspondents’ Dinner turned into a whole thing. Ryan bought a new car the same...

Recording late because Joyhdae had an adult play date. That’s really the only context you need. This week: a 6-year-old with a grudge and a guest list, Caitlyn Jenner finally feeling the consequences of her own vote, Kev on Stage telling Cam Newton he chooses love — and somehow that was the most controversial thing anyone said all week. Plus Rihanna’s baby girl Rocki, Drake vs. Kendrick part two i...

Look. We had topics. We chose chaos instead. And honestly? Yes. This is the episode where we decided the world was a shit show, the news was too much, and we were just gonna see what happened. What happened was: an AITA about a girlfriend who thinks she’s already a stepmother to twins she didn’t carry, a man approached Joyhdae at a work event with very large plans and very questionable energy (Nob...

Y’all, we have questions. About Trick Daddy. About Gemma. About the back of the earth. About all of it. This week we opened with AAVE expanding its lexicon (you the birthday — Ryan had NO idea), got into the looks maxing rabbit hole and why men doing things for the male gaze is a conversation that absolutely needs to be had, and then things escalated. Fast. The AITA segment goes three for three —...

Ryan opens out of pocket—it’s a mess, and it’s a great time.  Chili’s FEC records hit the internet and her defense was “I didn’t read the fine print” — from the woman who didn’t read the Pebbles contract. Brandy dropped her memoir, put Wanya Morris’ name in it, and the conversation about fast girls, who failed them, and where the real accountability lies goes somewhere real. Kristi Noem’s husband...

Ryan and Joyhdae reunite after a solo bonus episode, joking about Ryan’s unhinged moments and setting the week’s topics. They react to an “Am I the Asshole?” story where a man’s restaurant proposal ring is mistakenly delivered to another table. They discuss viral footage of 41-year-old Tommy Lee with Beyoncé’s 21-year-old nephew, Julez, criticizing the age gap and warning about consequences. They...

With Joyhdae away on the West Coast, Ryan delivers a solo Virgo Season episode, mourning and honoring Kiki Shepard’s legacy on Showtime at the Apollo and shouting out "Once-In-A-While" Virgo co-host Asia Golden. Ryan reacts to Shyne discussing  his and Ma$e's alleged overlap dating of Brandy, calling the public barbershop-style talk and Ray J’s response weird. He comments on rumors t...

Four years in and we showed up. Barely rested, fully unfiltered, and apparently Joyhdae has officially broken up with ChatGPT for Claude. This episode had a week that did not miss. Egypt Criss got knocked out in round two by an Olympic gold medalist — and the chaos that followed was more entertaining than the fight itself. Rihanna’s house got shot at by a woman who drove cross-country in a white T...
