COCKTAILS AND TAKEAWAYS

DD Grey, the host behind The Grey Game podcast, pulled up to the purple couch to unlock the boys’ groupchat and tell Madame Joyce (and you lot) what the men are really saying when you’re not in the room. How much space do you actually take up in a man’s life? Is he worth the energy you’re pouring in? And who’s really overestimating who? Joyce, a drink and a guest with zero filter, and the verdict isn’t always the one you want. It gets REAL 😭

Madame Joyce is back on the purple couch, solo, and finally answering the question that’s been sitting in your DMs: where have I been? She gets honest about what the podcast break really looked like, what she got up to while the mic was off, and the self care that’s actually been keeping her sane. Then it’s straight into Big Brother UK 2026, because she’s been watching the chaos in that house and she has OPINIONS.

Ché Mario pulled up to the purple couch declaring HE has the song of the summer — bold claim, and we made him defend it 💜 The North West London artist, model and stylist gets into his introduction to music, his upbringing, the fashion world (including the REAL talk on fake designer), being the cameo everyone spots in music videos, and of course — carnival. Does the claim hold up? You lot decide. It gets REAL.

Africa's biggest streamer just pulled up to the purple couch 💜 Carter Efe joins Madame Joyce for the full gist — his streaming journey to becoming Africa's most-followed name on Twitch, the friendships with Davido and Kai Cenat that are genuinely real, and yes, THAT cheating story (while he was bringing her food, no less 😭). We're also getting into his secret talents, what he loves and doesn't about Nigeria, his plans to become a UK citizen, and a proper lesson in London classiness. It gets REAL.

We're getting into being starstruck (yes, Drake and Rihanna came up), Makayla's love affair with London, the Pop The Balloon effect on modern dating, shooting your shot with a little liquid courage, and why guys playing the "taking long to reply" game needs to stop.Joyce is also opening up about her single era, Nakupenda versus Money Constant, and whether romance is actually deador if we killed it ourselves. It gets REAL.mm

The BHIM President has landed on the purple couch 💜 Days before he makes history as the first Ghanaian artist to headline OVO Arena Wembley, Stonebwoy joins Madame Joyce for the gist — his friendship with Rick Ross, where things REALLY stand with Shatta Wale, why the internet says Ghanaian men are stingy (he had words), Ghana's love affair with eggs, self-funding BHIM Fest London, and the Black Stars World Cup stress that nearly finished him. It gets REAL — and yes, we tested that masters degree in Are You Smart? 😭
