Best of 2025: Ask Yo Aunteas & Curiositea!

Before Yo Aunteas step fully into 2026, they're serving up the Best of Ask Yo Aunteas & Curiositea from 2025 — the moments that made the Communitea laugh, gasp, rewind, and run to social media. In this episode, Yo Aunteas discuss their "non-resolution" goals for the year, including Jerrell's surrogacy journey, Dawon's milestone 50th birthday, and Kerel's commitment to peace and peak fitness. We also revisit some of the wildest Ask Yo Aunteas moments of the past year—from corporate Skybox scandals at Coldplay concerts to legendary drag stories involving Lady Gaga's trailer. It's time to "wash your hands, your legs, and your ass" and get into the tea! Got a question? Got a situation?

Dawon Is Late For The Holidays, Love You Jesus But F Them, Holiday Song Bracket 2025

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, COMMUNITEA! Auntea Kerel and Auntea Jerrell hold down the fort while Auntea Dawon battles the world's worst Airbnb Wi-Fi. We're kicking things off with a therapy session on "Holiday Late-ness"—is the 5-minute grace period real, or was your dad a "if you aren't an hour early, you're late" kind of man? We also dive into the dark side of the season: Retail Trauma. We talk about why hearing All I Want For Christmas Is You for the 500th time in a shift is a trigger, and why we all owe Jesus a 20-year-overdue apology for the lies we told to skip Bible study. Plus, the Aunteas go head-to-head in their Holiday Music Bracket 2025, debating which Christmas song truly deserves the crown.
