You don't know me.

A confession I can't take back.

I am.

The masked speaker.

Text to 78592 says, hey mom, can you pick me up at 4.30 today instead of 3.30?

I've got to stay late to finish a group project.

You have to text that person back that were not their parents. Yeah, tell them that. Either they texted a wrong number or somebody's got a salacious, dark after-school homework assignment that their mommy can't know about it. What the heck? That was so weird, dude. I don't know what's really going on in that random person's life. Yeah. You can text them back after this if you want Brooke.

You're their mom now.

I'm good job.

But listen, if you have a legit secret that you want to get off your chest, you can do it right here on the mass speaker while we hide your identity.

And we've got a listener ready to come clean who's chosen to use a fake name Suzanne today.

So Suzanne, solid name. Welcome to the show. Hey, thank you. Did you also forget to pick up your kids? Not yet. Okay. Not yet. I will. Well, the voice changer is on. You are the mask speaker. Whenever you're ready, Suzanne, let's hear your confession okay so i have two kids right now

one in fifth grade and one in third grade and um what i'm about to tell you i haven't confessed

to anyone before not my husband not my family not my girlfriend's just zero people your husband

doesn't even know i mean the girlfriends are more shocking than the husband wow is deep. And the only reason I'm willing to do this is because you change my voice, right? Yes, wink. No, we did. We really did. Yeah, really. You're safe. Nobody knows who you are. Okay. Because I just don't want the judgment because what I'm doing works.

Okay. All right. All right. Taking out paper and pins and make notes. No, Brooke, no judgment today. No, I'm following advice. Yeah, possibly. He's writing an legal document. No, no, no, no, no. Okay. What's going on? Why do you want to stay anonymous?

Well, the thing is, I feel like kids today, for the most part, they grow up too soft.

Like, everything is given to them, and no one is ever allowed to say, just get over it and power through.

Everybody wants to be a gentle parent.

Yeah, spend some time in my house.

Okay.

No judgment, but the kids then grow up and reach their 20s and like Gen Z, everybody's helpless and needs a therapist.
