Send us Fan Mail For this episode, I brought in someone who knew me long before I became the Lost Loverboy: my mother. Together, we created our own Love Hall of Fame, debating the songs, movies, moments, gestures, couples, and little things that we believe represent love at its best. Some of our picks were easy. Others showed just how differently a mother and son, from two different generations, can see love. This episode is less about giving relationship advice and more about celebrating the things that made us believe in love in the first place. We share stories, disagree on a few nominations, defend our picks, and talk about how our own experiences have shaped what we consider Hall of Fame worthy.

Send us Fan Mail Some of the best lessons I've learned about love didn't come from romance movies. They came from an ogre who didn't believe he deserved to be loved. A man who could fast-forward through his entire life. A woman who woke up every morning without remembering the man who loved her. And a man who had everything he wanted, only to realize that loving someone sometimes means wanting what's best for them, even when it doesn't include you. In this episode of the Lost Loverboy Podcast, I'm revisiting some of my favorite movies and unpacking the love lessons I didn't fully understand when I first watched them. We talk about Shrek, Click, 50 First Dates, Bruce Almighty, and the moments that hit completely differently once you've actually experienced love, heartbreak, sacrifice, fatherhood, and growing up.  Viewer discretion is advised for this love-themed podcast.

Send us Fan Mail For a long time, I think I confused being willing to sacrifice for someone with what it meant to truly love them. If I could show up enough, give enough, carry enough, choose you enough… maybe eventually I’d feel chosen too. But somewhere along the way, I had to ask myself a harder question: Do I love through sacrifice because that’s how I love or because sacrifice became the way I learned to prove I was worth loving? In this episode of the Lost Loverboy Podcast, I talk about my own relationship with being picked, the ways our earliest experiences with love can follow us into adulthood, and what I’m beginning to unlearn about the kind of love I’ve spent my life looking for. Maybe love isn’t supposed to require me to constantly prove what I’m willing to lose for it. Maybe the unlearning is realizing I don’t have to sacrifice myself to finally feel chosen.

Send us Fan Mail For so long, I've thought about the qualities I hoped to find in a wife. But recently, God challenged me with a different question: Am I becoming the kind of husband she's praying for? In this episode, I share a personal journal entry that unexpectedly turned into a prayer. Not a prayer asking God to bring me my future wife, but a prayer asking Him to prepare me for her. I reflect on the kind of man I hope to become, the home I hope to build, the peace I hope to protect, and the love I hope she'll never have to question. This isn't a conversation about finding the right person. It's about becoming the right person. Viewer discretion is advised for this love-themed podcast.

Send us Fan Mail At some point, almost everyone who's been disappointed in love begins asking themselves the same question: "Am I asking for too much?" But what if that's the wrong question? In this episode, we explore how loneliness, heartbreak, comparison, and time can slowly make us question our standards instead of questioning whether we're simply asking the wrong person for the right things. We talk about the difference between standards and preferences, how fear can disguise itself as compromise, and why healthy love should never require you to abandon what matters most to you. If you've ever wondered whether your expectations are unrealistic or if you've just been settling for less than you deserve, this conversation is for you.

Send us Fan Mail Being needed can feel a lot like being loved. It feels good to be the person someone depends on, leans on, or calls when life falls apart. But the two aren't always the same. In this episode, we explore why so many of us tie our worth to being useful, how people can mistake dependency for love, and what happens when our identity becomes wrapped up in fixing, rescuing, and constantly showing up for everyone else. Together, we'll unpack the difference between being valued for what you provide and being cherished for who you are. Because real love doesn't disappear the moment you have nothing left to give.

Send us Fan Mail It's easy to blame bad judgment, ignored red flags, or poor decisions, but I don't think that's the real answer. In this episode, we explore why good people can repeatedly find themselves in unhealthy relationships, how familiarity often disguises itself as chemistry, why we fall in love with potential rather than reality, and how healing changes not only who we are but also who we're attracted to. Sometimes the wrong person doesn't feel wrong because they're exciting. Sometimes they feel right because they feel familiar.

Send us Fan Mail Not every relationship that changes you is obviously toxic. Sometimes the hardest relationship to leave is the one that almost works. The one with enough love to keep you hopeful, enough chemistry to keep you attached, and just enough happiness to make you believe things will eventually get better. In this episode, I explore why "almost" can be more dangerous than "terrible," why hope can sometimes keep us stuck longer than pain, and how to recognize the difference between fighting for a relationship and fighting against reality. If you've ever struggled to walk away from someone who wasn't all bad, but still wasn't right for you, this conversation is for you.

Send us Fan Mail There was a time when I thought all love was worth holding onto. But the older I get, the more I realize that not every kind of love is meant to last. In this episode, I open up about the kinds of love I've outgrown, the love that makes you question yourself, the love that only shows up when it's convenient, the love that asks you to become less of who you are, and the love that mistakes chemistry for compatibility. This isn't about pointing fingers or revisiting the past. It's about recognizing how life, heartbreak, and experience can redefine what we should, and shouldn't, accept in our relationships. If you've ever looked back at a relationship and thought, "I'll never settle for that again," this conversation is for you. Viewer discretion is advised for this love-themed podcast.

Send us Fan Mail We often talk about finding someone who loves us, but what if love isn't the thing we're missing? In this episode, I explore the difference between being loved and being understood—and why those two things aren't always the same. We talk about emotional safety, feeling seen, why some relationships leave you feeling lonely despite being loved, and why understanding may be one of the rarest forms of intimacy. If you've ever found yourself saying, "That's not what I meant," or feeling like someone cared about you but never truly got you, this conversation is for you.

Send us Fan Mail After my recent breakup, I've been thinking about how different dating feels now than it did ten years ago. In your 20s, chemistry can feel like enough. In your 30s, you start paying attention to things like consistency, communication, values, peace, and whether someone actually fits the life you're trying to build. This isn't dating advice. It's an honest conversation about what changes when you're no longer looking for potential and you're looking for partnership. Viewer discretion is advised for this love-themed podcast.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Demetri unpacks the quiet belief so many of us carry that we are “too much,” “not enough,” or simply hard to love. He explores the origins of that story, how past relationships and unmet needs shape our self-worth, and why believing this lie keeps us disconnected from the love we desire. This is a conversation about unlearning shame, embracing self-compassion, and allowing yourself to be loved without needing to perform or shrink.

Send us Fan Mail In this powerful episode of the Lost Loverboy Podcast, Demetri Wiley sits down with Trill Ace for an honest, no-dodging conversation about accountability in love and dating. From unhealed patterns to emotional avoidance, Demetri leads the discussion by asking the questions most people avoid. What part did you play? What are you still repeating? Are you truly ready to take responsibility for how you love? Together, they unpack why accountability isn’t about shame. It is about growth. They explore how self-awareness can transform relationships, why blaming exes keeps us stuck, and how owning your emotional habits can be the difference between toxic cycles and healthy love. If you’ve ever wondered why the same relationship keeps showing up with a different face, this episode is for you. ✨ This conversation isn’t about perfection. It is about honesty, healing, and becoming someone safe to love. Viewer discretion is advised for this love-themed podcast.
