but I promise it's very interesting. Check it out for yourself by searching for Therapy Gecko on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Because it's a question that we rarely ask ourselves. All of May is actually Mental Health Awareness Month and on the psychology of your 20s, we are taking a vulnerable look at why mental health is so hard to talk about. Prepare for our conversations to go deep. I spent the majority of my teenage years and my twenties just feeling absolutely terrified. I had a panic attack on a conference call. Knowing that she had six months to live, I was no longer pretending that this was my best friend.

So this Mental Health Awareness Month, take that extra bit of care of your wellbeing. Listen to the psychology of your twenties on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My husband has a secret son from a past partner. Hold up Sam, how do we know how we done the DNA test? Well John, luckily it's mother may have a DNA test week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. And this wife writes,

my husband received a Facebook message from a woman saying that he is the father of a five-year-old. At first he didn't remember her, but then he realized they had a one night stand right before we started dating. Wait, but do we have proof he's a dad? To hear the explosive finale,

listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's Awkward Tuesday phone call. Local dating apps are great if you've always dreamed of matching with a self-described entrepreneur who sells knives out of his mom's minivan. Yeah, but think of how good your kitchen's gonna be stocked with those knives. Pretty sexy. Yeah. But Alexis will tell you the real magic happens on those international dating apps, where you can get ghosted by dudes in four different time zones all at once. Plus, if things go horribly wrong,

they're already 5,000 miles away from you. Hey! So easy, too. Unfortunately, though, an international dating app has caused problems for one of our listeners, which is why Audrey has reached out to us for help today. Audrey, welcome to the show. Hi guys.

Oh, hey Audrey. You sound awfully perky for somebody who's having problems with the international dating apps. You know what? I am meeting people that I have been listening to for so long, I can't help but be excited about that. Oh, us. I thought you met the people on the dating apps. I'm like, how are you hearing them for our kids? You're just excited to be on the show with us. I see we're excited

Can we ask which country or can we guess? Way too many countries Maybe we'll just start with tell us why you've emailed the show for help because international dating apps is kind of a vague category Yeah, so I've got a friend. She's always traveling right then. He was I literally don't even know where she was for this trip She's in five different countries in five different weeks Does everyone have a friend like that that you're just so jealous of at all times? I'm like, how do you have the funds and how are you making this happen? You just can't be afraid of endless debt, Brooke Travel wherever you want This happen you just can't be afraid of endless debt Brooke Okay, so this this friend of yours likes to travel abroad a lot

Yeah, and she's got this international dating app like obviously I don't use it. I never travel okay Okay, on this app and here's the thing so she's swiping and she comes across a guy that we know Because he's dating one of our other friends Wait is she out of the country when she comes across this guy? Yeah Wait, so I don't know how all that works while he was traveling his profile came up to match with her on an international dating app Yeah, okay. I'm confused why it's international out. They all update your location Yeah, but it's an international dating app. Yeah. OK. If you find international out, they all update your location. Yeah. But it's like a special app. I guess I don't know. I forget what she called it.

She just sent me the screenshot of our friend's new guy. I mean, I think the important part is he is somehow in another country trying to pull some tail and he's got a girlfriend. I this is the dumbest excuse, but like sometimes Tinder doesn't refresh refresh like I'll open it in another city and it still has the last city I was in I don't think it even matters like he's still on a What's going through your mind when when you hear this when you see his profile I mean literally exactly what you said like big red flag and we're like, okay is this just an old profile? What's going on? But this one's got the it shows you how recently you were active, right? It's like within the week

So it's interesting because what if he set his location for another country just so that he could DM with I mean like cuz he's not There obviously right like he's not there, obviously, right? Like he's in your city. I mean, I don't know. And honestly, like we haven't talked to her. We haven't like, we just don't know. We haven't asked because I hope we're wrong. I hope that there is something in this situation we don't understand.

So my vote was like, let's talk to him. Let's confront him and see what is happening before we like blow up Our other friends life. But what is he gonna do? Won't he just lie to you? I Don't lie if he's on a dating app with a girlfriend and he's not telling the girlfriend then he's already lying Yeah, what if he doesn't even know that that act exists? Like there's hundreds of apps Oh I'm sure that's what he's gonna say There's hundreds of dating profiles with my face and my information on them

that have been created by other people I match with girls using Jeff's face all the time I'm sure they're very successful I don't know the numbers but I think it's in like the 4 or 5 digits with the matches Wow, that's pretty impressive, Jeff. Like just four? I'm low balling that estimate, so.

Yeah, okay. Could it be possible, Audrey, that maybe his picture was stolen to use as a catfish on one of these dating apps? I mean, honestly, I hope so. Yeah. But like, this is why I wanted to call you guys, because I've kind of been nominated by Traveling Friend

to talk to him, but I don't know what to say I mean It's a good friend move to not like make a huge like blow up everything before you do know for sure with him And I mean hopefully it'll be obvious if he's lying right yeah, so you know how it works Audrey We asked my co-host here to give you a little bit of advice And then we will let you call your friend's boyfriend For you what what's his name by the way? Theo Theo Theo how well do you know Theo? We don't know that part

I've met him a couple times like we've all gone out to dinner a few times together So like not super well, but like we're familiar It'll be interesting to hear how Theo reacts the first time that you bring it up to him. Like if he's totally shocked and has no idea that the app even exists, or if there's some recognition in his voice and he knows what's going on, that'll tell us a lot.

Like I'm finally caught. Yeah. Like he wanted you. If he's bad at cheating, he'll immediately go, I don't know what you're talking about, that wasn't me. Yeah. Or is he being honest in that moment? that no does your husband Michael do that a lot when you bring up cheating allegations International dating sites Well, let's find out we'll see what Theo has to say after we give you our advice and let you make your awkward

Tuesday phone call to your friend's boyfriend to figure out why his profile is up on an international dating app. We're gonna do it with your Awkward Tuesday phone call right after this. Hold on. It's Awkward. It's Tuesday. It's Awkward Tuesday phone call. If you're just joining us for the Awkward Tuesday phone call, we're on the phone with

a young woman named Audrey, who's been nominated by her friend group to do this, because one of them came across a guy on an international dating app, a guy that they're already very familiar with, because he's seriously dating one of the other girls in their group That is not good and Audrey decided before they show the dating profile to the girlfriend They wanted to go through us and contact the Oh first to see if maybe hopefully there's some Reasonable explanation for it or perhaps he was just being catfished Having his picture use as a catfish. Right. That's the best case scenario. Right. Yeah.

No matter what, though, it's important that we handle this the right way. That's why we've got the experts ready with some top notch a quality advice. Yeah. Brooke, what do you have for Audrey here? That's right. Here's the thing, Audrey. You need to talk as little as possible in this conversation. Oh, OK. It's one of those like give a man a rope, you know that analogy. Well, he'll hang himself.

Oh, the more he talks, he's going to admit more. Yeah, yeah. So I think you go in Audrey and you try to be on his side from the very beginning and you say, listen, I don't know your girlfriend's name is but Mary or whoever found your dating profile on an international dating site. Like, oh my god, I know you'd never do that. What are we going to do and just let him talk? Okay. You know what I mean? Because you're going to be able to tell if he's talking in circles, if he's freaking out and then ask him if he needs a rope and see what he says so be really quiet and just let him walk into his own grave

yeah that's one piece of advice Jose what do you think? To get him to come clean you just need to say look if you admit to me right now exactly what you and I both know is happening I won't tell her which is a lie of course because you're gonna send her the podcast anyways after this Okay, so Brooks advice is to let him do it himself Jose's advice is to press her and then promise that you won't say anything I mean, I guess I could do Brooks advice. And then if that doesn't seem to work. Yeah. OK. Send it to them. Perfect.

OK, we got a plan A and then a plan B right afterwards. Alexis is fully on board with it. She loves it. Yeah, I have a great plan C, but we don't have time. Oh, OK. Sorry. Maybe if we need plan C, Alexis will jump in the middle of the call and give it to you.

Awkward Tuesday phone calls. Plan C is always just don't confront anyone Don't say anything She's like, Plan C hang up! Honestly that's normally my Plan A all the time, never confront anyone Okay, well the good news is we're here to support you if you need any help I'm sure you got it though, I'm gonna dial Theo's number We'll see what he has to say. Here we go. Hello?

Hey, Theo. Hey, this is Audrey, Jessica's friend. What? Why? Why are you calling me? Yeah. Um, so like, how are you? I'm fine. Can I help you with something? Um, yeah, I'm sorry. I know this is like so out of the blue.

I just, I've got a weird question for you. Okay. Have you like ever been on a, like in dating app internationally, like an international dating app? Like have I been to France and used a dating app? Yeah, actually, Yeah, exactly. Why are you asking me that?

That's a really weird question. So basically our friend was traveling and she saw a profile on her international dating app and it was you. I don't know. That's not possible. I don't have any dating apps. I saw a screenshot of it and a lot of the stuff in the bio kind of seemed like you, like hobbies that you've talked about.

I mean, people can fake that stuff. My hobbies aren't that unique. I don't know what to tell you. I so hear you. Like I'm, I'm on your side, but like all of our friends know about this profile and we're going to talk to Jessica if we are not convinced that this like isn't you. You know what I mean? I don't appreciate you threatening me. That's not cool. I mean, like, look, if you were in my shoes, wouldn't you do the same thing?

Wouldn't you want to make sure that your friend isn't getting cheated on? Like that's all I'm doing here. I'd probably mind my own business is what I do. I'm going to be so real with you. That response alone kind of told me you're doing something that you shouldn't be doing. Well, I'm not so. Right. So like you wouldn't mind if I showed that to Jessica?

Yeah, I would mind actually, but it's none of your business what's going on. But there's clearly something going on? I need you to just relax and be cool. You're gonna ruin it if you talk to her. Like what am I ruining? A relationship where she's getting cheated on? She's not getting cheated on.

I'm using the app, okay? I admit that, but I'm not using it to date people. You just admitted you're using the app, so I'm going to tell Jessica what you're doing on that app. I want to propose to her in Italian. Huh? What? What? It doesn't solve anything yet. It makes total sense to me. Who are you? Do you have a dating app to propose to your girlfriend in Italian? You accidentally downloaded Tinder and said it was at a stone. Who are you? Who are all these other people? Hey,

Theo. Ciao. We're international. Buongiorno, you're on an international radio show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning Audrey What the hell is going on? Who are all these people? I'm pretty sure they introduced themselves. I got some help Wait Audrey, do you believe him that he's going to propose? Not for a second. Okay, we only we didn't hear what the plan was Theo Not for a second, okay, we only we didn't hear what the plan was Theo Yeah, like if that's true, we're just trying to help Audrey out because I just wanted to talk to some native Italian speakers About how to do it properly Who are also very sexy, okay, let's not hate on this man's style of loving his girlfriend

Everybody does it differently. He wants to do a big romantic Italian proposal. Why that? Wait, you believe him? I'm just willing to hear him out before I crap on his idea. If you were rolling with this. Look, my girlfriend did a semester in Italy in college. I wanted to get from the source the the most romantic accurate way to propose an Italian I just wanted to know like what's your dream way of being proposed to Italian women?

Practice it the right way. Yes, that's exactly right and send you pics of them, too Yes, that's exactly right and send you pics of them to They don't send me pics they just have pics on their profile already, okay I'm just trying to figure out how it works You gotta understand why it sounds like kind of a sketchy way to plan a proposal, right? I didn't think anybody was gonna be in italy looking up my profile frankly Like I thought that that would be a lot more discreet than doing it like locally At this point Audrey you have all the information what are you gonna do with or supposedly you have all the information I mean Okay, when are you going to propose to her?

Like, is it do you have a plan? Yeah, I have a plan, but I'm not going to say it on the radio. Oh, OK. Let's turn off the broadcast. Real broadcast is switched off. Now it's just us. That's kind of fair, though. Like, like, I feel kind of bad that we blew up his plan.

If that's actually true. If you don't propose to her in the next two months, I'm gonna have to tell her. Whoa. So you're gonna sit with us for that long? I'm really skeptical, but that's the best way I can think of to give you the benefit of it out. Wow.

All right, so Theo, that's it. It's official. You have two months to either propose to your girlfriend or, I guess, fly to Italy and live there permanently Promise you she's not gonna be disappointed with this. She's gonna be happy. Just don't screw it up, please Proposal pictures Like I have to know for me in my closure Will you give us the Italian proposal when you come back and you're married? Oh Sure, I'll do that

I'll give you guys an update. I'm gonna call you for sure Say gratsi Text in to 7592 if you believe on. Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. I found out I was related to the guy that I was dating.
