What happens when we record an entire episode without choosing an actual topic? This week on A Little Throuple Tea, we’re embracing the open format and talking about whatever happens to be floating through our minds—which apparently includes Big Brother, beach burns, free chips, reality stars ignoring us, travel plans, hurricanes, wildfires, book announcements, sponsorship rejections and several completely unnecessary shots fired. We start by breaking down the current season of Big Brother, why the returning icons have survived for so long, whether the younger players are afraid to make a move and what the season is seriously missing: bromances, romances, flirtation and hot men. Then we recap our first beach day in a very long time. Daniel and Caleb loved the water, William tolerated the experience, everyone got sunburned and Moonlight Beach was approximately four tents deep with people. Naturally, this turns into the ultimate beach-versus-pool debate, why sand becomes less appealing as you get older and whether having sex on the beach is ever actually worth the cleanup. We also announce that Tres Amigos, Una Vida: Fault Lines officially arrives September 4 on Kindle and paperback. The sequel somehow became more than 700 pages, the cover features our actual backyard and the story continues whether seven people read it or seven million. Of course, because this episode has no responsible adult supervising it, we also debate whether restaurants should be allowed to limit free chips and salsa, whether we should unfollow Kyle Cooke from Summer House for ignoring us, and what happens when a drink brand rejects your podcast sponsorship pitch while its product is still sitting directly in front of the cameras. Yes. Shots were fired. Plus, we play Chaos Bowl directly through the Throuple Tea app with Confess Your Chaos, Most Likely To, Mature Mode, Wild Mode and Slay Cards. The game exposes old crushes, fake emergencies, thirst traps, excessive selfie attempts and the fact that three people sharing one life still interpret basic instructions very differently. Also in this episode: Why the current season of Big Brother feels different The SDSU mistake that foreshadowed our move to San Diego Our overcrowded and sunburned beach day The ultimate beach-versus-pool debate Why one free basket of chips is not enough The September 4 release of Fault Lines The Reno wildfire and hurricanes near our Big Island property Whether we should unfollow Kyle Cooke Chaos Bowl: Confess Your Chaos + Most Likely To + Wild + Slay Cards Two real Throuple Hotline questions How we choose our vacation destinations Foods we would happily erase forever Sassy Astrology for August 28–September 3 Daniel’s Dad Joke And the sponsorship rejection that created our new drink-koozie rule If this episode proves anything, it’s that we apparently do not need a topic. We just need three microphones and enough unrelated thoughts to fill an hour. Tell us: Is this season of Big Brother actually boring? Are you choosing the beach or the pool? And should restaurants always provide unlimited chips and salsa?
