Yo Aunteas got company! This week, Auntea Kerel and Auntea Jerrell link up with BJ and LeBron from the Messy Thoughts Podcast!

The crew takes a look back at the highs and lows of building their independent platforms, the reality of putting your real life on a microphone, and the beautiful work it takes to maintain deep, quality friendships (and buddies)!

They're tackling the heavy topics and the culture head-on: calling out the narrow marketing of Pride Month, discussing the recent viral announcer controversy surrounding out CSUN volleyball player Jordan Lucas, and celebrating the legacy of Jason Collins. Stick around for the fun as the crew plays a new Curiositea game of "Spit, Sip, or Slurp" featuring Michael B. Jordan, Jeremy Pope, and Bad Bunny!

Also, Auntea Jerrell highlights some incredible Black queer art with a review of Frederick Smith's brilliant new romance novel, Love Is a Contact Sport!
