The Aunties discuss a wild hypothetical: What would you do if you walked into your front room and every single one of your exes was sitting there? From "shit locks" and "perfect penis" gloating to actual secret families and fake ethnicities

She spent 15 years with a DL man, got HPV that turned into cervical cancer, and now he's expecting a baby with a 25 year old. Should she tell her?

The aunties are back and this one came out swinging. This week's listener letter has us deep in the ethics of DL men, the danger of staying silent, and what you actually owe women who don't know what you know. Then we shift into enemies of progress mode Jack Harlow calling his album "blacker," Charlamagne and Andrew Schulz's Oscar joke landing wrong, Louis Theroux letting the manosphere off too easy, and Belgium finally putting a 93 year old on trial for Patrice Lumumba's murder. Oh and we also need to talk about meningitis, Cuba, and what happens when all your exes end up in the same room.

AUNTYVENTION

🫂 The Aunties intervene after Chyna from BKChat crossed the line following the already chaotic BKChat reunion. On a livestream he made disgusting comments mocking someone with sickle cell, insulting not just the person but a condition that disproportionately affects the Black community. With the creators of BKChat issuing a public statement & the ACLT charity weighing in. The Aunties unpack accountability, responsibility and why an older man in a young people’s space should know better. (Chyna's also an Enemy of Progress).

ENEMIES OF PROGRESS

🚩 Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump for bombing Iran & kicking off a war that nobody asked for.

🚩 David & Victoria Beckham for publicly wishing Brooklyn a happy birthday despite his clear attempts to keep distance. Why do it publicly?

🚩 Shit DJs who can't be bothered to put effort into their playlists, ruining the dance for everyone. Do Better.

AUNTYVENTION

🫂 On a date at a pricey restaurant, a woman orders the most expensive dishes, doesn’t finish then forgets her doggy bag in his car. Because she gave him a side hug, he assumes she’s not interested and ignores her call. The Aunties ask, is it his fault for choosing the expensive restaurant, or was she wrong to order big knowing she may not like him after the date?

💐 Tayos’ Afro Mart, Orpington, officially opening its doors on the High Street and bringing culture, flavour and community to the area. We love to see it.
