🎃 Welcome to Tres Leches’ Spooktacular Halloween Special! This week, dive into a bubbling cauldron of laughter and LOL moments as we dissect niche gay Halloween costumes. From meme-inspired ensembles to pop culture phenomena, get ready to giggle at the outrageous and admire the inventive.

Juan gets personal, sharing why Halloween and holidays have sometimes been tough the last couple of year. He opens up about not wanting to become a ‘bitter old bitch’, and learning to enjoy life’s pleasures, even without a significant other.

Meanwhile, Ian escapes the Halloween frenzy for a serene retreat upstate, seeking peace before the pre-election chaos. And Johnny? He’s here with his nuggets of wisdom that somehow make everything better.

Join us on Tres Leches for an episode that’s truly one-of-a-kind! Latino Heritage Month ended yesterday, so we’re featuring two Latinos we’re not so proud of.

From tales of overprotective mothers to the festive chaos of family gatherings, we share the poignant and often hilarious moments that shaped us.

It’s an exploration of the quirks and charms that define Latino families, ensuring you that—unlike the Menendez narrative—ours are full of warmth, laughter, and life.

The Poly Pockets Sep 10, 2024

Show notes

As three gay men who cut our teeth on the romantic revolution at the beginning of this new millennium, we’ve seen our share of love’s evolutions. This week on Tres Leches, we delve into the world of polyamory. We’re tuning into psychotherapist Esther Perel’s fascinating discussion, "The Arc of Love: The Poly Dinner Party," from her acclaimed podcast *Where Should We Begin?*

Esther invites poly couples to lay it all out on the table, and we’re here to dissect each moment—from the highs of abundant love to the challenges of jealousy and everything in between. Expect to hear snippets from the episode that sparked our curiosity and provoked plenty of debates among us. Can jealousy be a tool to grow a relationship? That’s one of the questions we explore.

We’re unpacking the good, the bad, and the complicated with our usual flair. This isn’t just about understanding polyamory; it’s about exploring what it can teach all of us about love, relationships, and ourselves. Get ready for a titillating conversation that dives into the heart of modern romance.

It’s spicy, it’s insightful, and it’s unabashedly Tres Leches.
