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, it's I'm going to try to do something, but I wanted to know what you guys think about. 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 yeah, I don't like confrontation, and you know, I'm not great talking to females or males.

I don't know much about it. I know that that's a good question.

I don't know much about it. I know that that's a good question.

Actually does that make a difference.

Actually does that make a difference.

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.

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.

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

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

I get why you'd want to avoid doing that.

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.

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.

Yeah, that's true, right, Yeah, but I was thinking it's exactly what my thoughts were, that like, if there's no reason to get Eric involved, if this isn't gonna happen, then that'd be good to know.

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 distracting?

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.

Anything anything more than that, I hope not.

Anything anything more than that, I hope not.

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 talking together. So it's like it seems like there's some flirtation.

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 talking together. So it's like it seems like there's some flirtation.

We'll probably, but we'll come back and we'll let you do yourrocker Tuesday phone call right after this. All right, awesome, all right, hold on Tuesday's awkward Tuesday phone. Navigating this situation is going to be a little bit challenging because not only are there land mines everywhere, okay, but there are friendships at stake here, Like if you say the wrong thing, if you focus on the X for too long, or you seem super thirsty, like I've watched and waited for you for the past years. Now that you're available, I'd like to smell your hair. Oh, this time, when you're awake. It's the vibe that he would say it like that.

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

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