Speaker 4: Local dating apps are great if you've always dreamed of
Speaker 4: matching with a self described entrepreneur who sells knives out
Speaker 4: of his mom's mean.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but think of how good your kitchen's going to
Speaker 1: be stocked.
Speaker 4: Oh, pretty sexy but Alexis will tell you the real
Speaker 4: magic happens on those international dating apps where you can
Speaker 4: get ghosted by dudes in four different time zones all
Speaker 4: at once. Plus if things go horribly wrong, they're already
Speaker 4: five thousand miles away from you. Heay, so easy too. Unfortunately, though,
Speaker 4: an international dating app has caused problems for one of
Speaker 4: our listeners, which is why Audrey has reached out to
Speaker 4: us for help today. Audrey, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Hi guys.
Speaker 1: Oh hey, Audrey.
Speaker 4: You sound awfully perky for somebody who's having problems with
Speaker 4: the international dating apps.
Speaker 5: You know what, I am meeting people that I have
Speaker 5: been listening to for so long. I can't help it
Speaker 5: be excited about that.
Speaker 1: Oh I thought you met the people on the dating apps.
Speaker 1: I'm like, how are you hearing them forevers?
Speaker 4: Okay, you're just excited to be on the show with us,
Speaker 4: that's we're excited.
Speaker 1: Can we ask which country or can we get let's
Speaker 1: not get way too many countries.
Speaker 4: Al Maybe we'll just start with tell us why you've
Speaker 4: emailed the show for help, because international dating apps is
Speaker 4: kind of a vague category.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I've got a friend she's always traveling right,
Speaker 5: and he was I literally don't even know where she
Speaker 5: was for this trip. She's in five different countries in
Speaker 5: five differrent week.
Speaker 1: Does everyone have a friend like that that you're just
Speaker 1: so jealous of at all times? I'm like, how do
Speaker 1: you have the funds? And how are you making this happen?
Speaker 4: You just can't be afraid of endless debt, Brooke.
Speaker 1: That's what it is.
Speaker 2: Just lose that fear.
Speaker 4: You can travel wherever you want, how you want. Okay,
Speaker 4: So this is this friend of yours likes to travel
Speaker 4: abroad a lot.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and she's got this international dating app. Like, obviously
Speaker 5: I don't use it. I never travel, Okay, Okay, she's
Speaker 5: on this app and here's the thing. So she's swiping
Speaker 5: and she comes across the guy that we know because
Speaker 5: he's dating one of our other friends.
Speaker 6: Whoa wait him, Wait is she out of the country
Speaker 6: when she comes across this guy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, while he was traveling. His profile came up to
Speaker 4: match with her on an international dating app.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, why it's international app. They all update your location. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but it's like a special app.
Speaker 5: I guess I don't know. I forget what she called it.
Speaker 5: She just sent me the screenshot of our friend's new guy.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the important part is he is
Speaker 1: somehow in another country trying to pull some hotail, and
Speaker 1: he's got a girlfriend.
Speaker 6: And this is the dumbest excuse, but like sometimes tender
Speaker 6: doesn't refresh, Like I'll open it in another city and
Speaker 6: it still has the last city.
Speaker 2: I was in.
Speaker 1: But I don't think it even matters, Like he's still
Speaker 1: on a day app.
Speaker 5: It's still a red flag.
Speaker 4: What's going through your mind when when you hear this
Speaker 4: when you see his profile?
Speaker 5: I mean literally exactly what you said, like big red
Speaker 5: flag and we're like, okay, is disgusting, old profile. What's
Speaker 5: going on? But this one's got the It shows you
Speaker 5: how recently you were active, right, It's like within the
Speaker 5: week he's.
Speaker 6: So many outs cost.
Speaker 1: So it's interesting because what if he set his location
Speaker 1: for another country just so that he could DM with
Speaker 1: I mean, like because he's not there obviously, right, like
Speaker 1: he's in your city.
Speaker 5: I mean I don't know, And honestly, like we haven't
Speaker 5: talked to her. We haven't, like we just don't know.
Speaker 5: We haven't asked because I hope we're wrong. I hope
Speaker 5: that there is something in this situation we don't understand.
Speaker 5: So my vote was like, let's talk to him, Let's
Speaker 5: confront him and see what is happening before we like
Speaker 5: blow up our other friend's life.
Speaker 1: But what is he gonna do? Won't he just lie
Speaker 1: to you?
Speaker 5: I don't know, calling guys.
Speaker 1: I's if he's on a dating app with a girlfriend
Speaker 1: and he's not telling the girlfriend that he's already lying.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what if he doesn't even know that that act exists? Like,
Speaker 4: there's hundreds of acts. There's hundreds of dating profiles with
Speaker 4: my face and my information on them to be created
Speaker 4: by other people.
Speaker 1: I imagine girls using gest Sure they're very successful.
Speaker 4: I don't know the numbers, but I think it's in
Speaker 4: like the four or five digits.
Speaker 6: Wow, with the matches, it's pretty impressive.
Speaker 5: Just four, I'm blowballing that.
Speaker 4: So it could be possible, Audrey, that maybe his picture
Speaker 4: was stolen to use as a catfish on one of
Speaker 4: these dating apps.
Speaker 5: I mean, honestly, I hope so. But like, this is
Speaker 5: why I wanted to call you, guys, because I've kind
Speaker 5: of been nominated by traveling friends to talk to him,
Speaker 5: but I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a good friend move to not like
Speaker 1: make a huge like blow up everything before you do
Speaker 1: know for sure with him. I mean hopefully it'll be
Speaker 1: obvious if he's lying, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you know how it works, Audrey. We asked
Speaker 4: my co host here to give you a little bit
Speaker 4: of advice and then we will let you call your
Speaker 4: friend's boyfriend for you. What what's his name, by the way, THEO?
Speaker 1: THEO?
Speaker 4: THEO?
Speaker 1: How well do you know? Oh, THEO? We don't know
Speaker 1: that part.
Speaker 5: I've met him a couple times, Like we've all gone
Speaker 5: out to dinner a few times together, so like not
Speaker 5: super well, but like we're familiar.
Speaker 4: It'll be interesting to hear how THEO reacts the first
Speaker 4: time that you bring it up to him, Like if
Speaker 4: he's totally shocked and has no idea that the app
Speaker 4: even exists, or if there's some recognition in his voice
Speaker 4: and he knows what's going on, that'll tell us a lot,
Speaker 4: like I'm caught like he wanted to.
Speaker 1: If he's bad at cheating, he'll immediately go, I don't
Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. That wasn't me.
Speaker 4: Or is he being honest in that moment? No, does
Speaker 4: your husband Michael do that? A lot when you bring
Speaker 4: up cheating allegations.
Speaker 1: All of his international dating sites.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, don't talk about Luisa like that, bru.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let's find that.
Speaker 4: We'll see what THEO has to say after we give
Speaker 4: you our advice and let you make your awkward Tuesday
Speaker 4: phone call to your friend's boyfriend figure out why his
Speaker 4: profile is up on an international dating gap. We're gonna
Speaker 4: do it with your awkward twoes phone call right after this.
Speaker 4: Hold on, it's awkward, It's Tuesday.
Speaker 5: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4: If you're just joining us for the awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4: We're on the phone with a young woman named Audrey
Speaker 4: who's been nominated by her friend group to do this
Speaker 4: because one of them came across a guy on an
Speaker 4: international dating app, a guy that they're already very familiar with. Yeah,
Speaker 4: because he's seriously dating one of the other girls in
Speaker 4: their group. Ah, that is not good. And Audrey decided
Speaker 4: before they show the dating profile to the girlfriend, they
Speaker 4: wanted to go through us and contact THEO first to
Speaker 4: see if maybe, hopefully there's some reasonable explanation for it,
Speaker 4: or perhaps he was just being catfished having his picture
Speaker 4: use as a.
Speaker 1: Catfish, right, that's the best case scenario.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, No matter what though, it's important that we
Speaker 4: handled this the right way. That's why we've got the
Speaker 4: experts ready with some top notch equality advice. Do you
Speaker 4: have for Audrey here?
Speaker 1: That's right. Here's the thing, Audrey. You need to talk
Speaker 1: as little as possible in this conversation.
Speaker 5: M Oh okay.
Speaker 1: It's one of those like give a man a rope,
Speaker 1: you know that analogy. Well, but no, he'll hang himself.
Speaker 1: The more he talks, he's gonna admit more.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I think you go in, Audrey and you
Speaker 1: try to be on his side from the very beginning,
Speaker 1: and you say, listen, I don't know what your girlfriend's
Speaker 1: name is, but Mary or whoever found your dating profile
Speaker 1: on an international dating site, Like, oh my god, I
Speaker 1: know you'd never do that. What are we gonna do?
Speaker 1: And just let him talk, okay you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: because you're gonna be able to tell if he's talking
Speaker 1: in circles, if he's freaking.
Speaker 4: Out, and then ask him if he needs a rope,
Speaker 4: and see what he says. Be really quiet, and just
Speaker 4: let him walk into.
Speaker 5: Yeah, his own break.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's one piece of advice, Jose, what do you
Speaker 4: think to get him to come clean?
Speaker 6: You just need to say, Look, if you admit to
Speaker 6: me right now exactly what you and I both know
Speaker 6: is happening. I won't tell her, which is a lie,
Speaker 6: of course, because you're gonna send her the podcast anyways
Speaker 6: after this.
Speaker 1: Or she will find out.
Speaker 4: Okay, So Brooks advice is to let him do it himself.
Speaker 4: Jose's advice is to press her and then promise that
Speaker 4: you won't say anything.
Speaker 5: I mean, I guess I could do Brooks advice first,
Speaker 5: and then if that doesn't seem to work.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, perfect, Okay. We got a plan A and
Speaker 4: then a plan B right afterwards. Alexis is fully on
Speaker 4: board with I have a.
Speaker 1: Great plancy, but we don't have time. Sorry.
Speaker 4: Maybe if we need plan see, Alexis will jump in
Speaker 4: in the middle of the column, give her to you.
Speaker 1: Plancy is always just don't confront anything.
Speaker 6: Hang out.
Speaker 5: Honestly, that's normally my plan A all the time. I'm
Speaker 5: never confronted anyone.
Speaker 4: Well, the good news is we're here to support you.
Speaker 4: If you need any help. I'm sure you got it, though,
Speaker 4: I'm gonna dial Theo's number, he has to say, here
Speaker 4: we go.
Speaker 5: Hello, Hey Leo, Hey, this is Audrey, Jessica's friend.
Speaker 2: What what? Why why are you calling me?
Speaker 5: Yeah? So, like, how are you?
Speaker 2: I'm fine? Do I help you with something?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I know this is like show out of
Speaker 5: the blue. I just I've got a weird question for you. Okay, Uh,
Speaker 5: have you, like ever been on a like in dating
Speaker 5: app internationally, like an international dating app?
Speaker 2: Like, have I been to France and used a dating app? Yeah?
Speaker 5: Actually? Yeah, exactly why are you.
Speaker 2: Asking me that? That's a really weird question.
Speaker 5: So basically, our friend was traveling and she saw a
Speaker 5: profile on her international dating app and it was you.
Speaker 2: I don't know, that's not possible. I don't have any
Speaker 2: dating apps.
Speaker 5: I saw a screenshot of it, and a lot of
Speaker 5: the stuff in the bio kind of seemed like you
Speaker 5: like hobbies that you've talked about.
Speaker 2: I mean, people could fake that stuff. My hobbies aren't
Speaker 2: that unique. I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 5: I so hear you like, I'm on your side, but
Speaker 5: like all of our friends know about this profile, and
Speaker 5: we're gonna talk to Jessica if we're not convinced that
Speaker 5: this like isn't you you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I don't appreciate you threatening me that that's not cool.
Speaker 5: I mean, like, look, if you were in my shoes,
Speaker 5: wouldn't you do the same thing. Wouldn't you want to
Speaker 5: make sure that your friend isn't getting cheated on? Like
Speaker 5: that's all I'm doing here.
Speaker 2: I'd probably mind my own business, is what I do.
Speaker 5: I'm going to be so real with you. That response
Speaker 5: alone kind of told me you're doing something that you
Speaker 5: shouldn't be doing.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm not so right.
Speaker 5: So like, you wouldn't mind if I show that to Jessica.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would mind, actually, but it's none of your
Speaker 2: business what's going on.
Speaker 5: But there's clearly something going on.
Speaker 2: I need you to just relax and be coo cool.
Speaker 2: You're going to ruin it if you talk to her, like, what.
Speaker 5: Am I ruining a relationship where she's getting cheated on?
Speaker 2: She's not getting cheated on. I'm using the app, Okay,
Speaker 2: I admit that, but I'm not using it to date people.
Speaker 5: You're using the app. I'm gonna tell Jessica what you're
Speaker 5: doing on that app.
Speaker 2: I want to propose to her an Italian.
Speaker 4: Hyth It makes total sense.
Speaker 1: To me, who are you dating? App to propose to

Speaker 1: To figure out how I mean, you want to understand
Speaker 1: why it sounds like kind have a sketchy way to
Speaker 1: plan a proposal.
Speaker 2: Right, Like I didn't think anybody was gonna be in
Speaker 2: Italy looking up my profile frankly, Like I thought that
Speaker 2: that would be a lot more discreet than doing it
Speaker 2: like locally.
Speaker 1: I'm starting to Audrey Fils I take Spanish lessons on
Speaker 1: that they live in Spain.
Speaker 4: At this point, Audrey, you have all the information. What
Speaker 4: are you going to do with it?

Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to.
Speaker 1: Tell her who You're gonna sit with us for that long.

Speaker 2: It's official.
Speaker 4: You have two months to either propose to your girlfriend
