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 A*****e 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 Breakdown Cold 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 A*****e?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: Virgoseasonshow@gmail.comWebsite: Virgoseasonshow.comYouTube, TikTok, Instagram, & Threads: @VirgoSeasonShowRyan: @OhBlackRyanJoyhdae: @JoyhdaeSubscribe, leave a review, & hit the bell to turn on notifications.
