Chatmosa Session - Auntie Derek's Daytime Tea - 5/2/25

In today's lively session of *Auntie Derek's Daytime Tea,* the hosts delivered an engaging blend of tech talk, celebrity gossip, and heartfelt discussion, marking the transition into May. From troubleshooting OneNote issues to praising Broadway star Audra McDonald, this episode offered a bit of everything for listeners.

Tech Troubles and App Preferences
The session opened with Auntie Derek sharing her ongoing struggles with Microsoft OneNote, facing syncing issues that left her frustrated. Auntie Derek joked, “Microsoft, you will pay for your crimes,” prompting a lighthearted debate with her co-hosts about their preferred note-taking applications. Will championed Apple Notes, highlighting its reliability, while other co-hosts echoed their preferences. This friendly back-and-forth depicted the everyday tech dilemmas faced by many professionals today, encapsulated in the quote, “There are so many options that you can definitely find an alternative, no problem.”

Celebrating Audra McDonald
Transitioning into pop culture, the conversation shifted to the recent recognition of Audra McDonald, the legendary Broadway actress who was nominated for a record-breaking 11 Tony Awards. Auntie Derek passionately affirmed, “She is a bad chick and has been a bad chick,” celebrating McDonald's significant contributions to theater and her advocacy for LGBTQIA+ rights. The hosts reflected on McDonald's impressive career, reminding listeners of her performances from *Ragtime* to *Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill*, and the important work she does offstage.

Celebrity Gossip and Personal Insights
The session continued with robust discussions around celebrity controversies, starting with the drama surrounding Diddy’s legal troubles. The hosts candidly agreed on the severity of Diddy’s situation while discussing the absurdity of his decision to reject a plea deal. Will humorously noted, “Why would you want to just cut off the middleman?” At the same time, the group examined Jesse Smollett's lawsuit settlement with Chicago and the implications it carries, emphasizing the complexities of public perception and accountability.

Next, the focus turned to Nick Cannon, with Alyssa Scott calling him out for not seeing their daughter for an extended period. The hosts questioned Cannon’s ability to juggle his many responsibilities, reflecting on the ramifications of being a celebrity parent. “You knew what this was,” one co-host remarked, highlighting the potential pitfalls of entering into relationships with such public figures.

Engaging Discussions on Relationships and Accountability
In a surprising twist, the conversation explored the legal entanglements surrounding Steve Smith Sr. and the lawsuit filed by a disgruntled husband over alleged infidelity. The hosts debated the merits of such lawsuits, with one remarking that “people are going to do what you allow them to do,” advocating for personal accountability amidst marital disputes.

Finally, Bow Wow's response to Orlando Brown's allegations was a fitting end to the celebrity gossip segment, as the merits of mental health in the entertainment industry were discussed. “He’s a talented guy, but there’s a lot going on,” noted one host, emphasizing the often unseen struggles that artists face.

Summing Up
Today’s *Auntie Derek's Daytime Tea* was a vibrant mix of real-life problems tackled with humor, reflections on artistic achievements, and pointed commentary on the complexities of celebrity culture and personal choices. As always, the hosts encouraged listeners to engage with the podcast through feedback and shared experiences.
