Tuned into Myles David, US Open Hot Takes, Benito (Bad Bunny) in Puerto Rico Sep 15, 2025

Show notes

US Open 2025 is in the books, and we're joined by Myles David — Sports Illustrated contributor and host of Tuned Into Tennis Podcast— for a sharp, funny, and deeply informed wrap-up. Yo Aunteas Kerel, Dawon & Jerrell dig into Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka's momentum, Taylor Townsend's mindset and media moment, and whether the men's hype cycles (Alcaraz, Sinner, Tiafoe, Fils, Felix) match reality. We also talk about Althea Gibson's 75th anniversary and whether the tournament truly met the moment for Black tennis history.

Myles shares his journey from Louisiana to tennis journalism, why representation in media rooms matters, and how community changes the way we experience the sport.

They also touch on the latest in pop culture, with hot takes on Mariah Carey's VMA performance and Jerrell's adventures at a Bad Bunny concert in Puerto Rico.

So, get your cups ready for Minoritea Report!

Deconstruction, voice, and using platforms to center Black queer stories
Market Days highlights, community, and the power of chosen family

The Boys Are Back In Town, Europe Ate, Colbert Gone? Who's Next? Jul 28, 2025

Show notes

The boys are back in town—and the cups are overflowing! Kerel, Dawon, and Jerrell reunite after European adventures and San Diego shenanigans to spill everything the Communitea's been waiting for.

Yo Aunteas kick off "Do You Give a Damn?" with the latest headlines: the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee banning trans women athletes—yep, we're heated and we break down why this matters for safety, equity, and basic humanity.

Then it's pop culture mayhem: SZA vs. Nicki (is Auntea Onika okay?), and Stephen Colbert's show getting axed—freedom of speech or distraction politics? We call a thing a thing.

On the lighter side: Market Days stamina checks, Wimbledon queues and champagne with Grandma, and Mariah Carey teasing "Sugar Sweet" ahead of her Sept. 26 drop—Dawon gives not one but three damns.

Labubu... You Do You Boo, Beyonce So ATL (Sh!t Stolen), We Outsiddee Jul 21, 2025

Show notes

Guest co‑host Auntea Steve (Relationshit Podcast) joins Auntea Kerel & Auntea Jerell while Henny Jerrell battles European travel drama. We dive into being single in 2025, setting boundaries, and dating authentically—apps vs meeting people IRL, travel hookups, and what makes a great first date.

Then: Yo Aunteas reacts to the headline that Beyoncé's unreleased music / tour materials were allegedly stolen from choreographer Chris Grant's car in Atlanta—and why ATL smash‑and‑grabs are too common.

We celebrate RuPaul's record 10th Emmy nomination for host and unpack long‑running Drag Race production drama, favoritism, and fandom fatigue.

Ask Yo' Aunteas returns! A Communitea member asks about the viral Labubu craze; we compare notes on 90s nostalgia collections (Tamagotchi, Trolls, Pokémon, etc.) and whether collectibles are cute or a dating red flag. Title inspo unlocked: La Boo Boo Do You Boo.
