Episode notes

Everyone knows what a 3am phone call means. Or at least they think they do.

In this episode of Carbon & Keel, Carlos and Sam start there and end up somewhere unexpected: the moments that change your life rarely arrive at 3am at all.

After twenty years as a cop, Carlos knew how to show up when someone else's world was falling apart. What he wasn't prepared for were the calls that were his own. A wife in shock an hour away. A mother he didn't know he was seeing for the last time. A phone call about his son that he's been trying to forget ever since.

It's a conversation about grief, perspective and the difference between responding to a crisis and living through one.
