Speaker 2: of variables here, but.
Speaker 4: You think it's okay for love, bro it's always okay.
Speaker 4: All right, Jose get ready because we're gonna call Brook's
Speaker 4: mom here so you can.

Speaker 4: about to get a new stepdaddy, ladies, vitamins.
Speaker 5: Be a good friend, Brook.
Speaker 4: I need your support here.
Speaker 2: I really like her. Okay, Stepdaddy, Oh this is beautiful.
Speaker 4: Okay, don't talk back to me, all right. And while
Speaker 4: we're doing that, one of our listeners wants to call
Speaker 4: a girl that he's had a secret crush on for
Speaker 4: the last three years. Yeah, your mom is quite popular
Speaker 4: around here, so we're gonna find doubt and he's going
Speaker 4: to tell her exactly how he feels. And we do
Speaker 4: a brand new awkward Tuesday phone call a Well, we'll see.
Speaker 2: I just got a text from my mom. She is excited.
Speaker 4: Okay, we're going to do it next.
Speaker 5: It's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4: How far are you willing to go to make love happen?
Speaker 4: You're willing to go five feet ten feet.
Speaker 1: It's just when you emphasize make love instead of make
Speaker 1: love happen.
Speaker 2: Came off like my mind was some Okay, now we're
Speaker 2: back to make club happened.
Speaker 4: I would go up thousand. Would you go across the pond?
Speaker 5: Make absolutely?
Speaker 4: Some of our listeners have met people over in Europe
Speaker 4: and they say, I'm gonna fly over there and I'm
Speaker 4: going to spend my whole life savings and meet him,
Speaker 4: and then they end up on the loser line a
Speaker 4: couple days later.
Speaker 5: You know, yeah, wasn't really big Ben.
Speaker 4: But one of our listeners, Carter, is willing to put
Speaker 4: everything at stake. You can even ask a bunch of
Speaker 4: dumb radio people for help just to make love happen
Speaker 4: for him.
Speaker 2: I love love. Let's do this.
Speaker 4: This is probably the worst decision of your life. But
Speaker 4: welcome to the show man.
Speaker 3: Hey, let's okay, thank you.
Speaker 1: Okay, vot a confidence right from the beginning. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to hear about this.
Speaker 4: Well, tell us about the situation that you're in and
Speaker 4: why you're reaching out to us.
Speaker 3: I guess I feel really guilty honestly. Uh oh oh
Speaker 3: even yeah, even doing this. But it's like it's something
Speaker 3: that's eaten, eating away at me. And I hope you
Speaker 3: guys can help.
Speaker 1: Love shouldn't make you feel those things, guilt, shame, like
Speaker 1: they're starting in a dark place.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it gets better. Okay, So you have any of
Speaker 3: you ever had like a crush on your friend's significant other?
Speaker 6: Was attracted to me, but I never ever heard, I
Speaker 6: don't know about friends.
Speaker 4: If you say coworkers, you might have a weird answer
Speaker 4: from Brooks.
Speaker 2: Have a crush on you, Jeffrey.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's a messy situation though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I have a friend Eric. You know,
Speaker 3: we're not like best friends. You know, we don't really
Speaker 3: we don't hang out one on one. We've known each
Speaker 3: other for a long time. We daft last week, if
Speaker 3: that means anything. Yeah, you know you have like we
Speaker 3: have a handshake.
Speaker 4: Handshake Oh yeah, okay, close enough to but not any closer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you're a smoker, that's where regard to all Right,
Speaker 1: So he's like he's like a buddy who hangs out
Speaker 1: in the group of your friends.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's one of the Yeah, he's one of the groups.
Speaker 4: Yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 3: His girlfriend Maya, I'm in I'm head over heels for her.
Speaker 2: Whooa, that's a big statement.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2: How do you know her just through him?
Speaker 3: Well, it's the crazy part is we all met Like
Speaker 3: I met her at the same party, the same time,
Speaker 3: three years ago, and he beat me to the punch basically.
Speaker 3: Then it was just like, oh my god, So then
Speaker 3: I have enough yer whenever the friends get together and
Speaker 3: stuff and brutal.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 5: Well that makes it.
Speaker 6: That makes it sound better. It's still not a good thing,
Speaker 6: but it makes sound like, yeah, I've known him for
Speaker 6: years and.
Speaker 4: Now I'm forming a crush.
Speaker 6: You all meant at the same time, same party, and
Speaker 6: he just kind of.
Speaker 2: Peeps to it.
Speaker 1: So for three years, I mean, you met this woman,
Speaker 1: and now you've gotten to know her, and your feelings
Speaker 1: I'm guessing have only deepened.
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying, Way way deepened?
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I am smitten.
Speaker 4: Oh man, those are strong words.
Speaker 3: And here we are a few weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Guess what they got engaged?
Speaker 3: No, they broke up.
Speaker 5: Oh way better, yeah.
Speaker 2: Way better.
Speaker 3: I know. I know it's great news, but it's also
Speaker 3: terrifying news because this is why I'm calling you guys.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, it's I'm going to try
Speaker 3: to do something, but I wanted to know what you
Speaker 3: guys think about. What I was thinking I should do
Speaker 3: is talk to Maya first and just see if there's interest,
Speaker 3: because maybe we don't even have to get Eric involved.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of yeah. I don't like confrontation, and you know,
Speaker 3: I'm not great talking to females or males.
Speaker 1: Do you I mean, do you know was it a
Speaker 1: messy breakup or was it just like, hey, we tried
Speaker 1: this for three years, it's just not gonna work.
Speaker 3: I don't know much about it. I know that happened.
Speaker 3: That's a good question.
Speaker 4: Actually does that make a difference.
Speaker 1: I do think so, because if like Eric cheated on
Speaker 1: her or like did something terrible like that to end
Speaker 1: the relationship, then I don't think Eric gets a say anymore.
Speaker 1: That's that's my opinion. It's like you screwed that up,
Speaker 1: bad man.
Speaker 4: I think it's kind of strange that you haven't asked
Speaker 4: your buddy about it first. That seems like as a friend,
Speaker 4: you asked your you always ask your friend first. Hey,
Speaker 4: do you mind if I move in on your ex?
Speaker 2: I get why you'd want to avoid doing that.
Speaker 1: I do think he has a good point to call
Speaker 1: her first before he even brings it up with Eric,
Speaker 1: because it's like getting a new job, right, you don't
Speaker 1: necessarily need to tell your old job until.
Speaker 2: You know for sure the new job wants.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I was thinking it's exactly what my thoughts were.
Speaker 3: That like, if there's no reason to get Eric involved,
Speaker 3: if this isn't gonna happen, then that'd be good to know.
Speaker 4: Okay, you have obviously known Maya for at least three years. Now,
Speaker 4: what's the vibe between you two? Has there ever been
Speaker 4: any connection there? Or have you always been really discanting?
Speaker 3: Yeah? That's the thing that's crazy is that there's been
Speaker 3: so many group settings where we've ended up just in
Speaker 3: a corner talking to each other.
Speaker 4: Any anything more than that, I hope not.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, we've never done anything. But I tell you, like,
Speaker 3: Eric will be off doing a cake stand or something
Speaker 3: and we're off talking together. So it's like it seems
Speaker 3: like there's some flirtation.
Speaker 6: Do you two dap romantic sap?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 2: OK, So we're going to call her.
Speaker 4: So now we're calling Maya.
Speaker 3: Yep, I guess so.
Speaker 2: And then next week we call Eric.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I guess first we have to hear what
Speaker 4: Maya has to say. Is that's true, We're going to
Speaker 4: play a song. We'll come back. We'll give you a
Speaker 4: little bit of advice on what to do and actually
Speaker 4: probably not to do. Yeah, we'll probably, but we'll come
Speaker 4: back and we'll let you do your awkwad Tuesday phone
Speaker 4: call right after this. All right, awesome, all right, hold on.
Speaker 5: Oay, it's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4: Navigating this situation is going to be a little bit
Speaker 4: challenging because not only are there land mines everywhere, okay,
Speaker 4: but there are friendships at stake here, Like if you
Speaker 4: say the wrong thing, if you focus on the X
Speaker 4: for too long, or you seem super thirsty, like I've
Speaker 4: watched and waited for you for the past years. Now
Speaker 4: that you're available, I'd like to smell your hair this time,
Speaker 4: when you're awake.
Speaker 2: It's the vibe that he would say it like that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, we probably asked have you
Speaker 4: been smelling her hair? Carter? I mean when she's sleeping.
Speaker 3: You want me to answer that honestly?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Okay, Now, look man, I don't want it to come
Speaker 4: across like we're painting you as a stalker or a
Speaker 4: weird all. He's a normal guy, just a regular guy
Speaker 4: who's harbored a secret crush for his friend's girlfriend. And
Speaker 4: with that said, let's get some advice from somebody who's
Speaker 4: been there, Brooke in her hometown. There had to be
Speaker 4: some crossover. Take a shot at Brooke. Well, it's easy.
Speaker 2: What do you do, bro I don't disagree.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing I think, because especially because you
Speaker 1: don't know how her relationship ended with your buddy, I
Speaker 1: think you just don't mention him at all, Like you
Speaker 1: say that, hey, you heard through the grapevine that she's single.
Speaker 4: Pretend he's dead. No, no, okay, pretend the friendship never existed.
Speaker 1: Just pretend like you don't know anything about her past relationship,
Speaker 1: because you really don't.
Speaker 4: All right, don't bring up Eric Jose. What do you think?
Speaker 6: Well, I just think in general, moving out of the
Speaker 6: friend zone into like a romantic sense with somebody is
Speaker 6: very difficult. So you need to make her laugh in
Speaker 6: a flirty way.
Speaker 4: I mean, if you guys have a history together, you
Speaker 4: can look back on a moment.
Speaker 2: That you shared inside Joe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that'll bring some familiarity, make it a little
Speaker 4: bit less awkward. Let's give it a shot. Feel ready, Carter,
Speaker 4: Ready as ever.
Speaker 1: Due that can happen is that you're right back to
Speaker 1: where you started, where she doesn't.
Speaker 4: Like you technically. Worst thing is that it gets over
Speaker 4: to your friend Eric and then don't think about that.
Speaker 4: Remember we're pretending Eric is dead. Now we're going to
Speaker 4: dial the number. Good luck, we'll be here, ready to
Speaker 4: jump in. You need a little bit of help. Here
Speaker 4: we go.
Speaker 3: Hello, Hey, Maya, Hey, it's Carter. Hey, what's up?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 7: Hi, how are you doing?
Speaker 3: I'm good? Yeah, how are you doing?
Speaker 7: Oh? I'm good?
Speaker 3: What's up? I was hey? You remember it was a
Speaker 3: long time ago. You remember that party? That party we
Speaker 3: all went to. I think it was about three years ago.
Speaker 3: Remember by the plants. We talked for a while.
Speaker 7: What party was for us?
Speaker 3: Uh? It was it was uh, it was the one
Speaker 3: at the at the girl at the girl's house. What
Speaker 3: was the name?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: And Emily and Natalie Katie Katie. Uh, there was something
Speaker 3: like really bad. It's a basic name. You know what
Speaker 3: I'm talking about three years ago?
Speaker 7: I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 3: A party, yeah whatever, I know, it's too I mean
Speaker 3: it was I was just I was just thinking about
Speaker 3: you a lot after that party, you know, because I
Speaker 3: remember that that night you're wearing that dress and there
Speaker 3: you look great. You look so great that night, and
Speaker 3: I don't know, you know, I don't know if I
Speaker 3: ever told you that I was thinking. I didn't. I
Speaker 3: didn't tell you that. I can tell you that. Thank
Speaker 3: you anyway. I mean, yeah, so you know, I I
Speaker 3: guess I heard about I heard about you and Eric.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry that.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I mean just means it just means
Speaker 3: you're single now.
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, yeah, I guess so cool cool?
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean it's not cool too. There have
Speaker 3: mean some cool stuff and some not cool stuff about it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: This might sound sort of I don't know, uh like quick,
Speaker 3: maybe it's not. Maybe it's not that, but maybe out
Speaker 3: of the blue or something. I don't know. I'm just
Speaker 3: trying to. I'm just trying to. I'm trying to gauge, like, okay,
Speaker 3: so how much I don't know how much is there?
Speaker 3: Maybe there's some interest. Maybe it's not interest, but like,
Speaker 3: is there interest going on? You know here? Oh?
Speaker 7: You want you want to gauge my interest in you?
Speaker 3: I don't know, Like I'm just feeling things out with
Speaker 3: my antennas, you know.
Speaker 7: Hold on, hold on on, Carter, I need you to
Speaker 7: like take a breath. Uh are you asking me out
Speaker 7: right now? Is that what's happening?
Speaker 3: I don't know. That's a good question, am I.
Speaker 7: Does Eric know that you're doing this?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 7: You know, like he and I dated for like three years,
Speaker 7: and aren't you guys like good friends or something? Isn't
Speaker 7: there like a something?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say we're good friends. I mean, I you know,
Speaker 3: I I kind of hate him too, like you probably
Speaker 3: hate him now too. I mean we always kind of
Speaker 3: hate him, you know.
Speaker 7: Okay, Well I don't hate him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean either, I think exactly the same way
Speaker 3: you do about him. I mean probably like you know,
Speaker 3: like medium like like not super hate, but like it's
Speaker 3: like I don't know, because it goes up and down
Speaker 3: sometimes I'm like, hold on, hold.
Speaker 7: On, hold on, Carter. Are you single right now?
Speaker 3: I mean, I I mean I could single pretty quickly.
Speaker 4: Stop so many Hello, Hey, Maya. Hello, Hi, you're on
Speaker 4: the radio right now with Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 2: We're rescuing you from that car.
Speaker 4: It's more on the radio than you are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 7: What is going on? I don't understand what's happening like
Speaker 7: at all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did not do a very good job of
Speaker 1: explaining it, that's for sure.
Speaker 4: We're helping out, Carter. You wanted to have a little
Speaker 4: bit of a strange conversation with you.
Speaker 1: He's had a crush on you and wanted to ask
Speaker 1: you out. But what is this, Carter.
Speaker 4: You're not a huge crush. It doesn't matter very healthy crush.
Speaker 5: Carter.
Speaker 2: Are you single or not? You didn't tell us that piece.
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I mean I can be. I'm close. We're
Speaker 3: like sort of seeing each other.
Speaker 2: Yea, Maya. Have you met his maybe maybe not girlfriend?
Speaker 7: I don't I think so. I know, like, you know,
Speaker 7: he's been like using the absence stuff and like he's
Speaker 7: brought a couple of girls, but like I haven't really
Speaker 7: like hung out with a group in a couple of weeks,
Speaker 7: you know, like since Eric and I broke up.
Speaker 4: It doesn't sound that serious to me. Okay, Let's not
Speaker 4: worried about the other people, about Eric and about you know,
Speaker 4: Rando Carter girl, Let's focus on the two of you.
Speaker 4: Are you surprised to hear some of these things that
Speaker 4: are coming out from Carter right now?
Speaker 7: I mean like a little bit because someone else in
Speaker 7: their friend group literally was doing the same thing to
Speaker 7: me yesterday. Uh, I mean it was Rick, But like,
Speaker 7: come on.
Speaker 1: What a loser, like the worst friend group ever.
Speaker 3: I can't believe Rick would do that. Rick jumped in
Speaker 3: and block.
Speaker 2: Wait, hold on.
Speaker 6: You doesn't know you're, you know, shooting your shop.
Speaker 2: Did you say no to then?
Speaker 7: Maya?
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 7: Yeah, Like it all just seems like really fast or
Speaker 7: really weird. And like now that now that Carter's doing this,
Speaker 7: like like is this like a joke? You know what
Speaker 7: I mean?
Speaker 3: Like, is this some no joke?
Speaker 4: And actually we talked to Carter a little bit about
Speaker 4: this before we called you, and it seems like there's
Speaker 4: a lot of genuine feelings there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot more than Rick.
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean, Carter, you didn't do a very good
Speaker 1: job of explaining your feelings to her.
Speaker 4: I was nervous, Okay, I couldn't tell.
Speaker 5: You.
Speaker 2: Is there anything you want to tell her now?
Speaker 3: So at that party when we met three years ago,
Speaker 3: Eric and you met, but I also met you that
Speaker 3: day and ever since then, every time I see you,
Speaker 3: I want to hang hang out with you and be
Speaker 3: with you. And I just got so excited that this
Speaker 3: might be my opportunity. And I'm scared that I screwed
Speaker 3: it up. But maybe we can go on one date
Speaker 3: and see if I can't put this back together.
Speaker 7: It was really sweet.
Speaker 4: Oh it's a good start.
Speaker 2: It isn't a good start.
Speaker 7: I does. I'm just feel very confused and caught off
Speaker 7: guard and like I've only been single for three weeks
Speaker 7: and like I think maybe I need, like I need
Speaker 7: like more time away from this group.
Speaker 1: That Yeah, yeah, that's not bad. You know she's not
Speaker 1: saying no forever. She's just saying give her some space
Speaker 1: for right now. I mean, how does that feel to you?
Speaker 2: Carter?
Speaker 3: Well, it kind of pisses me off about the Rick thing,
Speaker 3: but it's not.
Speaker 2: Going for him at least. Rick was fully single when he.
Speaker 4: Asked, I don't want to bring it up, and I
Speaker 4: would challenge Rick to a gentleman's duel if the friendship
Speaker 4: group has done. Then after this airs, I don't know
Speaker 4: how much is going to be left, but it sounds
Speaker 4: like Carter, she needs a little bit more time to
Speaker 4: just let things marinate and think things over. Are you
Speaker 4: willing to wait, give her like a thirty day grace
Speaker 4: period before you ask again?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I can do that.
Speaker 2: Just keep her away from the rest of your friends.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: What kind of friend is Rick to Eric asking her
Speaker 3: out like immediately? I waited at least the day.
Speaker 4: Carter, you are a true gentleman. Go back to your
Speaker 4: other girlfriend
Speaker 5: Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning.
