The episode, released on February 23, 2025, features a compelling segment where they assist a listener, Carter, in navigating his three-year secret crush on his friend’s ex-girlfriend, Maya. This summary captures the essential discussions, insightful advice, and the emotional unfolding of Carter's heartfelt attempt to convey his feelings.

Setting the Stage: Relationship Dynamics and Awkward Calls

Brooke (02:49): "You guys ever feel like if there's one person in the world who you truly connect with and you just think, man, timing's off. But they could have really been my soulmate. Is it ever too late to finally tell someone how you feel?"

Brooke introduces the day's scenario, highlighting the common dilemma of revealing deep feelings when timing seems unfavorable. Jeffrey confirms the show's continued relevance in addressing such relationship dramas, promising an engaging hour-long discussion.

Introducing Carter's Dilemma

Jeffrey (02:17): "I know radio still exists and we."

The conversation shifts to Carter, a listener who has harbored feelings for Maya, his friend Eric’s ex-girlfriend, for three years. Carter's internal conflict revolves around confessing his love without jeopardizing existing friendships.

Brooke (03:14): "It's never too late for us. Is that a real question? I mean, there's a lot of variables."

Brooke acknowledges the complexity of Carter's situation, emphasizing that every romantic confession involves numerous variables that can influence the outcome.

Strategizing the Approach

The hosts brainstorm strategies to help Carter communicate his feelings effectively. They debate whether Carter should approach Maya directly or involve his friend Eric, considering the potential repercussions.

Jose (03:22): "Love, bro, it's always okay."

Lenovo (03:21): "Brooke, be quiet because you're about to get a new stepdad. Who needs ladies vitamins?"

The playful banter serves to lighten the tense situation, illustrating the hosts' supportive yet humorous approach to serious relationship issues.

Jose (05:03): "Oh, I love love. Let's do this."

The decision is made to proceed with an "Awkward Tuesday phone call," where Carter will reach out to Maya, with Brooke and Jeffrey providing real-time guidance.

Executing the Awkward Phone Call

As Carter initiates the call, the hosts offer live commentary and advice, preparing him for potential responses and emotional turbulence.

Lenovo (10:18): "Because not only are there landmines everywhere, okay, but their friendships at stake here."

Jeffrey underscores the delicacy of Carter’s situation, where missteps could strain or even sever longstanding friendships.

Brooke (12:10): "Worst thing that can happen is that you're right back to where you started. Where you like her and she doesn't like you."

Brooke rationalizes the potential outcomes, encouraging Carter to proceed despite the risks, as the worst-case scenario is not dire.

The Heartfelt Conversation with Maya

Carter's call to Maya unveils his vulnerable confession, aiming to express feelings that have grown over years of friendship.

Carter (13:39): "I was just thinking about you a lot after that party, you know, because I remember that night, you were wearing that dress and you look great."

Maya responds with confusion and acknowledgment of Carter’s feelings, revealing her awareness of the group's dynamics and her own mixed emotions.

Maya (16:34): "So at that party when we met three years ago, Eric and you met, but I also met you that day. And ever since then, every time I see you, I want to hang out with you and be with you, and I just got so excited that this might be my opportunity, and I'm scared that I screwed it up. But maybe we can go on one date and see if I can't put this back together."

Her sincere yet hesitant response highlights the complexity of transitioning from friendship to romance, especially within a tightly-knit friend circle.

Hosts' Analysis and Guidance

Post-call, Brooke and Jeffrey dissect the interaction, offering Carter strategic advice to navigate the delicate aftermath.

Brooke (19:07): "It isn't a good start."

Jose (19:16): "That's a good. Yeah."

They discuss the importance of giving Maya space and time to process her feelings, suggesting that Carter respect her request and potentially wait before making further moves.

Lenovo (19:38): "Sounds like Carter, she needs a little bit more time to just let things marinate and think things over. Are you willing to wait? Give her like a 30 day grace period before you ask again?"

This measured approach emphasizes patience and respect for Maya’s emotional state, underscoring the hosts' commitment to fostering healthy relationship dynamics.

Conclusion

The episode concludes with Brooke and Jeffrey reflecting on the challenges of expressing unspoken feelings within friend groups. They commend Carter for his courage while reiterating the importance of sensitivity and timing in romantic endeavors. The hosts leave listeners with thoughtful insights on handling similar situations, reinforcing the show's mission to provide both entertainment and practical relationship advice.

Brooke (20:01): "Yeah. Maya, have you met his. Maybe, maybe not. Girlfriend?"

The episode wraps with closing remarks, maintaining an engaging and supportive tone that encourages listeners to navigate their own relationship challenges with openness and empathy.

[Lenovo]

All right, Jose, get ready because we're gonna call Brooke's mom here so you can bear your sou.

A divorce.

[Brooke]

Wait, I don't know that they're still married.

[Lenovo]

Okay, well, it's going to be more awkward than I thought then. But I'm getting the popcorn, so. Brooke, be quiet because you're about to get a new stepdad. Who needs ladies vitamins?

[Jose]

Be a good friend, Brooke. I need your support here.

[Brooke]

I really like her. Okay, stepdaddy.

Oh, this is beautiful.

[Jose]

Okay, don't talk back to me.

[Lenovo]

All right? And while we're doing that, one of our listeners wants to call a girl that he's had a secret crush on for the last three years.

[Brooke]

It better not be my mom.

[Jose]

Yeah, your mom better I don't know more than just a three way call.

[Lenovo]

Your mom is quite popular around here. So we're gonna find out and he's gonna tell her exactly how he feels when we do a brand new awkward Tuesday phone call to another girl, not Brooke's mom. Well, we'll see.

[Brooke]

Just got a text from my mom. She is excited.

[Lenovo]

Okay, we're gonna do it next. It's awkward.

[Carter]

It's Tuesday.

[Lenovo]

It's awkward. Tuesday phone call. How far are you willing to go to make love happen? You willing to go 5ft, 10ft?

[Brooke]

It's just when you emphasize make love instead of make love happen, it came off like my mind was some. Okay, now we're back.

[Jose]

To make love happen, I would go a thousand feet.

[Lenovo]

Would you go across the pond, mate?

[Brooke]

Absolutely.

[Lenovo]

Some of our listeners have met people over in Europe and they say, I'm gonna fly over there and I'm gonna spend my whole life savings and meet him.

[Brooke]

Yeah, and then they end up on.

[Lenovo]

The loser line a couple days later, you know?

[Maya]

Yeah, exactly.

[Brooke]

A hard lesson.

[Jose]

One of our listeners wasn't really big.

[Lenovo]

One of our listeners, Carter, is willing to put everything at stake and even ask a bunch of dumb radio people for help just to make love happen for him.

[Brooke]

Oh, I love love. Let's do this.

[Lenovo]

Carter, this is probably the worst decision of your life, but welcome to the show, man.

[Maya]

Hey, what's up, guys? Thank you.

[Brooke]

Okay, vote of confidence right from the beginning.

[Lenovo]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Dude, I'm so excited to hear about this.

[Lenovo]

Well, tell us about the situation that you're in and why you're reaching out to us.

[Maya]

I feel really guilty, honestly. Oh, even. Yeah. Even doing this, but it's like it's something that's eaten. Eaten away at me. And I hope you guys can help.

[Brooke]

Love shouldn't make you feel those things. Guilt, shame. Like we're starting in a dark place.

[Jose]

Yeah, not a good sign.

[Maya]

It gets better.

[Brooke]

Okay, so I.

[Maya]

Have you. Have any of you ever had, like, a crush on your friend's significant other?

[Brooke]

Oh, no.

[Jose]

I thought one was attracted to me, but I never, ever had.

[Brooke]

Oh, you thought it was flipped.

[Lenovo]

I don't know about friends. If you say coworkers, you might have a weird answer from Brooke.

[Brooke]

I do not have a crush on you, Jeffrey.

[Lenovo]

Okay. That's a messy situation, though.

[Jose]

Yeah.

[Brooke]

Yeah.

[Maya]

I mean, I have a friend, Eric. You know, we're not like best friends.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Maya]

You know, we don't really. We don't hang out one on one. We've known each other for a long time. We dapped last week, if that means anything.

[Brooke]

What did you do?

[Maya]

Yeah, you know, you have, like. We have a handshake.

[Jose]

Handshake.

[Brooke]

Dap.

[Jose]

Fists. Oh, yeah.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Lenovo]

Close enough to dap, but not any closer.

[Brooke]

Yeah, I'm like.

[Jose]

You're a smoker.

[Brooke]

That's where we're going. All right, all right. So he's like a. He's like a buddy who hangs out in the group of your friends?

[Maya]

Yeah, yeah, he's one of the. Yeah, he's one of the groups.

[Lenovo]

Gotcha.

[Maya]

Cool. His girlfriend, Maya, I. I'm in. I'm head over heels for her.

[Brooke]

Whoa. That's a big statement, sir.

[Maya]

Yeah, it's crazy.

[Brooke]

How do you know her? Just through him?

[Maya]

Well, it's. The crazy part is we all met. Like, I met her at the same party the same time three years ago, and he beat me to the punch, basically. And it was just like, oh, my God. So then I have to now have to see her whenever the friends get together and stuff, and brutal.

[Brooke]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jose]

Well, that makes it. That makes it sound better. It's still not a good thing, but.

[Brooke]

At least it makes sense.

[Jose]

Yeah. I've known him for years, and now I'm forming a crush. Y'all met at the same time, same party, and he just kind of beat.

[Brooke]

So for three years. I mean, you met this woman, and now you've gotten to know her, and your feelings, I'm guessing, have only deepened. Is that what you're saying?

[Maya]

Way, way deepened. Yeah, like, I am smitten.

[Lenovo]

Oh, those are strong words.

[Maya]

And here we are a few weeks ago. Guess what?

[Brooke]

They got engaged.

[Maya]

No. They broke up.

[Brooke]

Oh, way better. Yeah, way better.

[Maya]

I know. I know. It's great news. But it's also terrifying news, because this is why I'm calling you guys. I don't know. I mean, I'm gonna try to do something, but I wanted to know what you guys think about. I. What I was thinking I should do is talk to Maya first and just see if there's interest, because maybe we don't even have to get Eric involved. I'm kind of. I don't like confrontation. And, you know, I'm not great talking to females or males.

[Brooke]

Do you. I mean, do you know, was it a messy breakup, or was it just like, hey, we tried this for three years. It's just not gonna work.

[Maya]

I don't know much about it.

[Brooke]

Okay?

[Maya]

I know that happened. That's a good question, actually.

[Lenovo]

Does that make a difference?

[Brooke]

I do think so. Because if, like, Eric cheated on her or, like, did something terrible like that to end the relationship, then I don't think Eric gets a say anymore. That's. That's my opinion. It's like, you screwed that up bad, man.

[Lenovo]

I think it's kind of strange that you haven't asked your buddy about it first. That seems like, as a friend, you asked your. You always ask your friend first. Hey, do you mind if I move in on your ex?

[Brooke]

But I get why you'd want to avoid doing that. I do think he has a good point. To call her first before he even brings it up with Eric. Because it's like getting a new job, right? You don't necessarily need to tell your old job until you know for sure the new job wants it.

[Jose]

That's true.

[Brooke]

Right.

[Maya]

That's what I was thinking. That's exactly what my thoughts were. That, like, if there's no reason to get Eric involved, if this 100% isn't going to happen, then that'd be good to know.

[Lenovo]

Okay, you have obviously known Maya for at least three years now. What's the vibe between you two? Has there ever been any connection there, or have you always Been really distant.

[Maya]

Yeah, that's the thing that's crazy is that there's been so many group settings where we've ended up just in a corner talking to each other.

[Lenovo]

Anything more than that?

[Brooke]

I hope not.

[Maya]

No, no, no, no. We've never done anything. But I tell you, like, Eric will be off doing a cake stand or something. And we're off. So it's like. It seems like there's some flirtation.

[Jose]

Do you two dap. You know, dap it up.

[Lenovo]

Romantic, dapping long Dapp.

[Maya]

I've never dapped it in. Maya. Nope.

[Lenovo]

No dapp.

[Brooke]

He's probably good. He'd probably be friends up there.

[Jose]

You're right.

[Lenovo]

That's okay.

[Brooke]

Oh, my God. So we're gonna call her.

[Lenovo]

So now we're calling Maya?

[Maya]

Yep, I guess so.

[Brooke]

And then next week we call Eric.

[Lenovo]

Well, this is good for our show, I guess. First we have to hear what Maya has to say. Is she into this?

[Brooke]

That's true.

[Lenovo]

We're gonna play a song. We'll come back, we'll give you a little bit of advice on what to do and actually probably what not to do. Yeah, but we'll come back and we'll let you do your awkward Tuesday phone call right after this. All right.

[Maya]

Awesome. All right. Hold on.

[Jose]

Okay.

[Lenovo]

It's awkward.

[Carter]

It's Tuesday.

[Lenovo]

It's awkward Tuesday phone call. Navigating this situation is going to be a little bit challenging.

[Brooke]

I know. It's so worth it.

[Lenovo]

Because not only are there landmines everywhere, okay, but their friendships at stake here. Like, if you say the wrong thing, if you focus on the ex for too long or you seem super thirsty, like I've watched and waited for you.

[Brooke]

For the past three years.

[Lenovo]

Now that you're available, I'd like to smell your hair.

[Maya]

Oh, boy.

[Lenovo]

This time when you're awake, oh, boy.

[Brooke]

I didn't get the vibe that he would say it like that. Jeff thing.

[Lenovo]

We should probably ask, have you been smelling her hair? Carter? I mean, when she's sleeping.

[Maya]

You want me to answer that honestly?

[Lenovo]

Yeah.

[Maya]

Not while he was sleeping, but.

[Lenovo]

Oh, okay.

[Brooke]

Okay.

[Lenovo]

Now, look. I mean, I don't want it to come across like we're painting you as a stalker or a weirdo.

[Jose]

He's a normal guy, just a regular.

[Lenovo]

Guy who's harbored a secret crush for his friend's girlfriend for three years. And with that said, let's get some advice from somebody who's been there.

[Brooke]

Brooke, stop it.

[Lenovo]

There's only, like, 10 people in her hometown. There had to be some crossover.

[Jose]

We Always take a shot at Brooke.

[Lenovo]

I love it. Well, it's easy.

[Maya]

What do you do, bro?

[Brooke]

I don't disagree. So here's the thing. I think because. Especially because you don't know how her relationship ended with your buddy. I think you just don't mention him at all. Like, you say that, hey, you heard through the grapevine that she's single.

[Lenovo]

Pretend he's dead.

[Brooke]

No.

[Legends]

No.

[Lenovo]

Okay. Pretend the friendship never existed.

[Brooke]

Just pretend like you don't know anything about her past relationship because you really don't.

[Lenovo]

All right, don't bring up Eric. Jose, what do you think?

[Jose]

Well, I just think, in general, moving out of the friend zone into, like, a romantic sense with somebody is very difficult. So you need to make her laugh in a flirty way.

[Lenovo]

I mean, if you guys have a history together, you can look back on a moment that you share.

[Brooke]

Like an inside joke.

[Lenovo]

Yeah, and that'll bring some familiarity, make it a little bit less awkward. Let's give it a shot. Feel ready, Carter?

[Maya]

Ready as ever, dude.

[Brooke]

Worst thing that can happen is that you're right back to where you started. Where you like her and she doesn't like you.

[Lenovo]

Technically. Worst thing is that it gets over to your friend Eric, and then that's not.

[Brooke]

Don't think about that.

[Lenovo]

Remember, we're pretending Eric is dead. Now we're gonna dial the number. Good luck. We'll be here. Ready to jump in if you need a little bit of help. Here we go.

[Carter]

Hello?

[Maya]

Hey, Maya. Hey, it's Carter. Hey, what's up?

[Carter]

Oh, hi. How are you doing?

[Maya]

I'm good. Yeah? How are you doing?

[Carter]

Oh, I'm good. What's up?

[Maya]

I don't know. Hey, you remember. It's a long time ago. You remember that party? That party we all went to? I think it was about three years ago. Remember? By the plants? We talked for a while.

[Carter]

What party was this?

[Maya]

It was the one at the. At the girl's house. What was her name? Emily?

[Legends]

Natalie?

[Maya]

Katie. Katie. It was something, like, really bad. This is a basic name. You know what I'm talking about. Three years ago.

[Carter]

I don't know. A party?

[Maya]

Yeah, whatever that was, Stu. I mean, it was. I was just. I was just thinking about you a lot after that party, you know, because I remember that. That night, you were wearing that dress and you look great. You look so great that night. And I don't know. You know, I don't know if I ever told you that. I was thinking.

[Jenny Garth]

I didn't.

[Maya]

I didn't tell you that. I didn't say I didn't tell you that.

[Carter]

Thank you.

[Maya]

Anyway. I mean. Yeah. So, you know, I. I guess I heard about. I heard about you and Eric. I'm sorry. That's.

[Carter]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Maya]

It just. I mean, just. It just means you're single now, right?

[Carter]

Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.

[Lenovo]

Cool.

[Brooke]

Cool.

[Maya]

I mean. I mean, it's not cool, too. They. Some cool stuff and some not cool stuff about it. Yeah, this might sound sort of, I don't know, like, quick. Maybe it's not. Maybe it's not that quick. Maybe out of the blue or something. I don't know. I'm just trying to. I'm just trying to. I'm trying to gauge, like. Okay, so how much? I don't know. How much is there? Maybe there's some interest. Maybe there's not interest. But, like, is there interest going on, you know, here?

[Carter]

Oh, you want. You want to gauge my interest in you?

[Maya]

I don't know. Like, I'm just feeling things out with my antennas.

[Carter]

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Carter, I need you to, like, take a breath. Are you asking me out right now? Is that what's happening?

[Maya]

I don't know. That's a good question. Am I.

[Carter]

Does Eric know that you're doing this?

[Maya]

No.

[Carter]

You know, like, he and I dated for, like, three years. And. Aren't you guys, like, good friends or something? Isn't there, like a.

[Maya]

No, I wouldn't say we're good friends. I mean, I. You know, I. I kind of hate him, too. Like, you probably hate him now, too. I mean, we both kind of hate him, you know?

[Carter]

Okay, well, I. I don't hate him.

[Maya]

Yeah, me neither. I feel exactly the same way you do about him. I mean, probably like, you know, like, medium. Like. Like, not super hate, but, like, it's like. I don't know, it kind of goes up and down sometimes, and I'm like, oh, man, I hate that guy.

[Carter]

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Carter, are you single right now?

[Maya]

I mean, I mean, I could get single pretty quickly.

[Brooke]

Stop. Stop this.

[Jose]

So many.

[Brooke]

Hello?

[Maya]

Hey, Maya.

[Brooke]

Maya.

[Carter]

Yeah, Hello.

[Lenovo]

Hi, Maya. You're on the radio right now with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.

[Brooke]

We're rescuing you from that.

[Lenovo]

Rescuing Carter, too.

[Jose]

She's more on the radio than you are.

[Brooke]

That's a good point. What.

[Carter]

What is going on? I don't understand what's happening, like, at all.

[Brooke]

Yeah, he did not do a very good job of explaining it, that's for sure.

[Lenovo]

We're helping out Carter. He wanted to have a little bit of a strange Conversation with you.

[Brooke]

He's had a crush on you and wanted to ask you out. But what is this? Carter.

[Lenovo]

But not. Not a huge crush.

[Brooke]

It doesn't matter.

[Lenovo]

A very healthy crush.

[Brooke]

Carter, are you single? Are you not? You didn't tell us that piece.

[Maya]

Yeah, I mean, I can be upset. I'm close. We're, like, sort of seeing each other.

[Brooke]

Yeah. Maya, have you met his. Maybe, maybe not. Girlfriend?

[Carter]

I don't think so. I know. Like, you know, he's been, like, using the apps and stuff, and, like, he's brought a couple of girls, but, like, I haven't really, like, hung out with a group in a couple of weeks, you know, like, since Eric and I broke up.

[Lenovo]

Okay. It doesn't sound that serious to me.

[Maya]

It's not.

[Lenovo]

Okay, let's not worry about the other people, about Eric and about, you know, rando Carter. Girl. Let's focus on the two of you. Are you surprised to hear some of these things that are coming out from Carter right now?

[Carter]

I mean, like, a little bit, because someone else in their friend group literally was doing the same thing to me yesterday.

[Maya]

Who?

[Carter]

I mean, it was Rick, but, like, come on.

[Maya]

Yeah.

[Jose]

What a loser.

[Carter]

Poor Eric has no friends.

[Brooke]

He has, like, the worst friend group ever.

[Lenovo]

Or the best.

[Maya]

I can't believe Rick would do that. Rick jumped in and blocked me.

[Brooke]

Wait, hold on.

[Jose]

Block you? He doesn't know you're, you know, shooting your shot.

[Brooke]

Did you say no to Rick then, Maya? Is that what you're saying?

[Maya]

Yeah.

[Carter]

Like, it all just seems, like, really fast and really weird and, like, now that. Now that Carter's doing this, like. Like, is this, like, a joke? You know what I mean? Like, is this some.

[Maya]

No. No joke. There's no joke.

[Lenovo]

And actually, we talked to Carter a little bit about this before we called you, and it seems like there's a lot of genuine feelings there.

[Maya]

Yeah, a lot more than Rick.

[Brooke]

Okay. I mean, Carter, you didn't do a very good job of explaining your feelings to her.

[Maya]

I was nervous, okay?

[Lenovo]

I couldn't tell.

[Brooke]

Is there anything you want to tell her now?

[Maya]

So at that party when we met three years ago, Eric and you met, but I also met you that day. And ever since then, every time I see you, I want to hang out with you and be with you, and I just got so excited that this might be my opportunity, and I'm scared that I screwed it up. But maybe we can go on one date and see if I can't put this back together.

[Carter]

It was really sweet.

[Lenovo]

It's a good start.

[Brooke]

It isn't a good start.

[Carter]

I guess I'm just still very confused and caught off guard and like I've only been single for three weeks and like, I think maybe I need like, I need like more time away from this group.

[Jose]

That's a good. Yeah.

[Brooke]

Oh, that's not bad. You're not. She's not saying no forever. She's just saying give her some space for right now. I mean, how does that feel to you, Carter?

[Maya]

Well, it kind of pisses me off about the Rick thing, but okay, she's.

[Brooke]

Not going for him. At least Rick was fully single when he asked.

[Jose]

That's also true. I didn't want to bring it up.

[Lenovo]

I would challenge Rick to a gentleman's duel if I was.

[Jose]

The friendship group is done.

[Lenovo]

Then after this airs, I don't know how much is gonna be left. But it sounds like Carter, she needs a little bit more time to just let things marinate and think things over. Are you willing to wait? Give her like a 30 day grace period before you ask again?

[Maya]

Yeah, yeah, I can do that.

[Brooke]

Just keep her away from the rest of your friends. Yeah. Oh my God.

[Maya]

Yeah. What kind of friend is Rick to Eric asking her out like immediately. I waited at least a day.

[Brooke]

A day.

[Lenovo]

Carter, you are a true gentleman.

[Maya]

Thank you.

[Jose]

Now go back to your other girlfriend.

[Lenovo]

Ye.

[Brooke]

Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
