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. Fewer hot takes for the sake of hot takes, more of the actual conversations we have in our group chat.

Segment Breakdown

We're Back (Barely)
Ryan's summer break, Joyhdae's 43rd birthday hangover, and why the show is getting a little more grown from here on out.
9/11, Twenty Five Years Later
A real moment before the chaos. Rest in peace to the people we lost, and to the New Yorkers who were never quite the same after.
Am I The Asshole: Baby Number Two
A brother has quietly covered his sisters kids school fees for two years. Then his sister announced baby number two, and he decided he's done contributing. Half the family calls it self-preservation. The other half calls him the villain of the year.
Fat Joe Says He's “The Blackest”
Fat Joe went on the Joe Budden Podcast and declared himself the Blackest N-word in the room, in front of a room full of Black men who said nothing. We break down race versus ethnicity versus nationality, and the Beyoncé double standard nobody wants to name.
iPhone Duo, Apple's $2,000 Ask
Apple unveiled its first foldable iPhone and Ryan is ready to order one. Joyhdae is staying exactly where she is, thank you.
Wordle, The Ancestors, and Aging Gracefully
A new PCP, an unfortunate Hims ad, and a Wordle winning streak Ryan insists is spiritual and Joyhdae insists is theft.
Dad vs. Auntie Jokes
Two bottles of Veuve deep. Slightly unhinged, extremely unfiltered, exactly what you came for.
