Auntea Kerel, Auntea Jerrell, and Auntea Dawon are back together to settle a debate that's been years in the making: what's the ULTIMATE summer song of the last five years? They built a 16-song bracket (Not Like Us, Break My Soul, Water, Essence, Get It Sexy and more go head to head) and the results might surprise you.   First, Kerel brings a relatable dilemma to the driveway: what do you do when a fine gym bro with a "sneaky body" walks past smelling like days of unwashed gym gear? Should you say something, or mind your business? Jerrell and Dawon go head-to-head on unsolicited hygiene critiques, dollar-store deodorants, and public gym decorum.   Finally, the table turns messy with an unfiltered workplace question: Is hooking up on the job ever worth the bag? Between overnight retail floor resets, hotel conference scandals, and flights with the lights off, the Aunteas share hilarious past confessions and warn against catching HR cases in this economy!   Grab your cups, Communitea — here's what's brewing today. ☕   🕐 TEASTAMPS 00:00 – Intro 00:59 – Funky Gym Bro 15:03 – Summer Song Showdown 34:40 – THE WINNER 38:36 – Ask Yo Auntea: Coworker Hookup 52:08 – Benediction
