About this episode
What happens when life is already chaotic and then somebody literally walks through your kitchen mirror?This week on A Little Throuple Tea, life is LIFING.We’re finally crawling out of another SoCal heat wave, trying to figure out why everything in the house decides to break at the exact same time, and learning that apparently even treating yourself to takeout can end with cold food and a Coke so watered down it’s basically sparkling water.And then things get creepy.While home alone talking to his mom, Caleb sees what looks like a person in a dingy white shirt walk across the kitchen mirror. Nobody else is home. The spare room already feels weird. The lights are flickering.Happy October, everybody. We also get a little more real this week about family, job hunting, unanswered messages and that exhausting feeling of thinking a conversation or opportunity is finally going somewhere… only to get crickets.Because this podcast is supposed to be our actual life, and sometimes life isn’t just jokes, Fireball and somebody talking about their ass.But don’t worry. We absolutely ruin the serious mood.The Bowl of Chaos becomes CURSED CHOICES, forcing us to decide between things like wet socks forever or a popcorn kernel permanently stuck in your teeth, calling an ex or your mom during sex, and whether you’d rather lose every argument or win every argument and have everyone hate you afterward.That last one got a little personal.Also in this episode:• Caleb sees a ghostly figure in the kitchen mirror • Our $1,000 Halloween candy ambitions meet our actual tax bracket • Why Daniel’s Coke showed up basically clear • The irrigation system decides to break because apparently we needed another project • Three people somehow decide they should take three separate Ubers to the airport • We realize we may actually be the lesbians from Shameless • The absolute joy of applying for jobs and hearing nothing back • Hawaii, cruises and what we’re actually looking forward to before the end of 2026 • Cursed Choices enters the Bowl of Chaos • Fireball makes another terrible appearance • The Throuple Hotline asks where we record and how our household approached estate planning • The very serious debate: panties or thong? • Daniel attempts another gay Dad Joke • Sassy Astrology tells us to stop making decisions before we have the entire damn storyAnd this week’s Sassy Astrology may have delivered one of our favorite reminders yet:Sometimes you don’t need another sign.
