Hi, I secretly like to be my boss's favorite because it pisses off my coworkers.

Thank you.

I'm Ben Ham.

And I'm Dahlia Beta.

We're your hosts as we navigate the deep waters of humanity.

And listen to the stories no one ever tells.

You are entering the secret room.

Secrets.

They're the topic of this podcast.

We've covered a lot of them in our first two seasons.

Some are harmless and funny, like the herapist who dished on her clients crazy oversharing in episode 23.

And some secrets are deep and dark.

Like when Tree Mabry told us about his eccentric nindaddy whose friend took a bullet

and died during a mischievous teenage night in episode 22.

There's a broad spectrum of secrets out there,

and Daya and I have been working our way through them with you,

one by one, here in the secret room. As we wrap up season two and start the new year, we're

Don't go far.
