S7EP03 - Lauri flips off an entire biker gang

This week, The Tea goes fully in-person as Joe, Jay, and Lauri record together from Jay’s soon-to-be former apartment in Glendale. What starts as a casual hangout quickly spirals into moving chaos, medical mysteries, jury duty drama, and one truly unforgettable encounter with a swarm of cyclists. With Jay preparing for a move, the group dives into packing, downsizing, and the surprisingly low emotional attachment to six years of apartment living—while somehow turning a simple refrigerator into a major plot point. Episode Highlights Jay’s Big Move Packing, donating, and figuring out what stays, what goes, and what ends up in someone else’s garage. The Refrigerator Situation A casual conversation about appliances turns into a full-blown redistribution plan involving Joe’s family. Cassandra Energy Joe compares himself to the cursed Greek prophet no one believes—and honestly, the evidence supports it. Lauri vs. The Cyclists A routine grocery run turns into chaos when Lauri accidentally drives into a massive group of bicyclists… and responds exactly how you’d expect. The Gas Pump Incident Lauri drives off with the gas hose still attached. Yes, really. Yes, it cost money. Medical Corner with Lauri Acid reflux, lip rashes, foot issues, eye mites, and the ongoing struggle of navigating doctors and referrals. Jury Duty Breakdown Jay shares his first real jury selection experience, including a front-row seat to some questionable lawyering. Joe’s Metro Adventure Joe embraces public transit, only for his parents to immediately assume the worst possible scenario when his car isn’t in the driveway. Live Call to Mom Joe calls his mom mid-episode to revisit her theory that he drove himself to the hospital during a heart attack. Final Thoughts This episode is classic The Tea: three friends in the same room, talking over each other, derailing every topic, and turning everyday situations into full-blown chaos. From gas station disasters to bike gang confrontations, it’s a reminder that sometimes the most dramatic stories come from the most ordinary days.
