Last week had everyone buzzing, so Joyhdae is back with another wild question to stir things up! This episode starts off with a hilarious dad joke that’s too good to miss and quickly dives into juicy discussions.
Ryan revisits some controversial comments from last week, apologizes (sort of), and calls out the silent listeners who don’t show love. If you’re one of those secret fans, make sure to let him know! Plus, shoutout to all of you following Ryan’s advice—grandma subscriptions are on the rise, and we’ve got the stories to prove it!
This week’s hot topic: Is R. Kelly the “R” in R&B? Joyhdae and Ryan debate Jermaine Dupri’s controversial statement and discuss who really deserves that title if you take out legends like Michael Jackson, Prince, and Beyoncé. Who’s your pick?
We also give a shady update on NYC Mayor Eric Adams—let’s just say his phone passcode situation has some people (FBI?) frustrated.
Then, it’s time to get messy: Cardi B vs. Offset, Jaguar Wright’s explosive claims against Diddy and Jay-Z, and why Lauryn Hill may have left Pras out of the Fugees money. Plus, we touch on the heartbreaking family drama surrounding John Amos, whose children weren’t even informed of his death until months later.
Finally, we dive into a serious but entertaining topic: Therians—people who identify spiritually with animals. How would Ryan handle it if one of his daughters said she’s a wolf? Spoiler: it involves some jokes, patience, and a lot of parenting wisdom.
And of course, stick around for the ultimate dad joke showdown at the end. You won’t want to miss it!
