Heads up! There won’t be a new episode next week because Joyhdae is busy with “adulting” duties, but don’t worry—we’ve packed this episode with enough laughs and drama to hold you over!
This week on Virgo Season, we’re addressing the elephant in the room—Joyhdae’s unexpected cold sore and her hilarious plea to Mother Nature. After a quick update on the woes of getting older, Ryan shares his latest discovery about Tesla’s futuristic reveals, including robo-taxis and humanoid robots, which have tech lovers buzzing. But there’s drama—Elon Musk is facing plagiarism accusations, and Tesla’s stock tanked right after the event. Is Musk a tech genius, or is this all hype?
Next, we recap the 2024 BET Hip-Hop Awards, where Kendrick Lamar stole the show with 8 wins, including Hip-Hop Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for "Not Like Us." Glorilla and Big Boogie rocked the stage with their performance of "Bop!"—easily the best of the night. And then there’s Nicki Minaj, whose Pink Friday 2 took home Hip-Hop Album of the Year. But should Megan Thee Stallion’s viral hit, as Joyhdae calls it "Watashi Wastar" have taken the crown instead? We dive into the debate.
Speaking of hip-hop, J. Cole surprised everyone by dropping "Port Antonio," a response track amid the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake tension. We discuss whether Cole should have stayed out of it or if his bars are a necessary addition to the conversation.
Then we shift gears to some podcast drama: ShxtsNGigs came under fire after failing to defend Black women during a controversial appearance on another show. The backlash has been real, but is their apology enough to regain trust?
Things also got heated when TI, Young Dro, and K-Dubb appeared on The Breakfast Club. K-Dubb’s laughter during Dro’s serious story about addiction led to a tense moment where Dro almost threw hands. We break down why this moment hit hard and the importance of respecting vulnerability.
And finally, we talk about the viral story of 8-year-old Zoe, who drove her mom’s car to Target for a $400 shopping spree. With the family dog in tow, Zoe’s adventure has everyone laughing, but there’s also a lesson here—maybe. We’re talking pure Black excellence!
Plus, Kamala Harris’ new opportunity agenda for Black men is stirring conversations, but why are some still leaning toward Trump? We unpack the confusion and debate what’s really behind these political divides.
