Speaker 1: You don't hear me.
Speaker 2: I can't take back arms speaker.
Speaker 3: We got a text seventy five niney two that says
Speaker 3: I'm a reformed ex burglar, and I'll say everyone splashes
Speaker 3: out on defenses for their front door, dead bolts, chains, cameras,
Speaker 3: et cetera. But any professional burglar would never use that
Speaker 3: front door. Hardly anyone gives their back doors the same
Speaker 3: security and attention.
Speaker 4: Fyi, there's the welcome Matt.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that's meant for the burglar.
Speaker 2: That's you know what.
Speaker 3: It's not the first man to come on this show
Speaker 3: and say they prefer the back door too. The thing is,
Speaker 3: we don't judge what door you use, whose house you burgle.
Speaker 3: We're just here to be a quiet soundboard for your
Speaker 3: secrets on the mass speaker judging.
Speaker 4: I mean, you could be a side door person. That'd
Speaker 4: be cool.
Speaker 2: Why not.
Speaker 3: We have a listener ready to come clean today. He's
Speaker 3: chosen to go by the name Jonathan. So Jonathan, welcome
Speaker 3: to the back door of our show.
Speaker 2: Easy with that, Thank you, Thank you.
Speaker 3: He come around front if you want. The voice changer
Speaker 3: is on. You are the mass speaker, Jonathan. Whenever you're
Speaker 3: ready let's hear your confession.
Speaker 2: So here it is, I work with my mother. Oh wow,
Speaker 2: wa again. So so my mom and my dad actually
Speaker 2: divorced a couple of years ago. Nothing to be sorry about. Gods,
Speaker 2: they still love each other, they just can't love each
Speaker 2: other in that way anymore.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: I like that's a healthy family, it feels like.
Speaker 2: So after getting a divorced, my mom decided that she
Speaker 2: wanted to get back into the workforce.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I was just assuming that you were working
Speaker 1: for a family business that had been running for a
Speaker 1: long time.
Speaker 2: Okay, no, no, no, no, no, we both work in corporate America.
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, Now here's the issue. Since now she has
Speaker 2: a job at the company I work at, I'm actually
Speaker 2: my mom's new boss.
Speaker 3: Oh weird, tables have turned.
Speaker 1: Remember that time when you told me I couldn't play
Speaker 1: video games?
Speaker 3: Now you go to your conference room.
Speaker 2: Well, as you guys can see, it's already a very
Speaker 2: weird dynamic. Yeah. Yeah, don't want at the office knows
Speaker 2: that that's my mom? What because it got divorced, she
Speaker 2: took on her maiden name again.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Oh that's interesting.
Speaker 4: No one knows.
Speaker 2: Nobody knows her and I had a conversation before applying
Speaker 2: that we would not let anybody know that we were
Speaker 2: family because honestly, it would rut our credibility. And you know,
Speaker 2: nepotism is already running rampant everywhere.
Speaker 1: Nepotism doesn't work the opposite way though, it's not like
Speaker 1: it's not usually parents writing on kids coattails, you know.
Speaker 3: But but you are just very aware of how it
Speaker 3: may look.
Speaker 4: It could ruin some things.
Speaker 3: At our company, we had somebody who was the son
Speaker 3: of like a.
Speaker 4: Higher up of the owner. Not higher up, as high
Speaker 4: up as you can.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but like it was a little bit of a
Speaker 3: strange dynamic. I could see how the employees there would
Speaker 3: find it strange. It was weird for us because when
Speaker 3: he got in trouble, he get grounded, and she'd ship
Speaker 3: him off to other markets. So nobody knows she's your mom,
Speaker 3: and you've agreed to not let that information out.
Speaker 2: That the information's not out. She's been on board and
Speaker 2: she's doing incredible I mean, one of the most important
Speaker 2: people we have there now. But here's the worst part.
Speaker 2: All right, all still looks very good for her age,
Speaker 2: gets a lot of attention.
Speaker 1: Oh wait about mom, by the way, proud of her.
Speaker 3: But from your perspective, that's super awesome.
Speaker 4: She like is step it up after this divorce. Great jump, look,
Speaker 4: fantastic corporate America.
Speaker 2: Well look, I overheard some guys at the office talking
Speaker 2: about her finding out that she's single and that he
Speaker 2: wanted to ask her out.
Speaker 4: That's sweet.
Speaker 2: We guess what, that's my mom. You're not asking my
Speaker 2: mom out?
Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, don't rock your mother coworkers day in
Speaker 1: her office relationship.
Speaker 4: He'll know about it. I would start the worst rumors
Speaker 4: about your mother.
Speaker 3: I mean, what can you really do though, like at
Speaker 3: that position, like without outing the fact that she's your mom.
Speaker 2: And I had him transferred to another build.
Speaker 3: Anybody that mentions your mom is pretty much getting demoted
Speaker 3: or sent away.
Speaker 2: Wait wait, I did not demote him.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, here's okay different.
Speaker 1: You keep doing this, people are going to catch on
Speaker 1: and they're going to think that you're having an.
Speaker 4: Affair with your mom. I bet they have. You have
Speaker 4: like secret talks every once in a while.
Speaker 1: You've got a vibe where they're hiding something.
Speaker 2: Look, I'm going to protector at all call you.
Speaker 1: Don't want I mean, why would you want her to
Speaker 1: date a nice man with a good job.
Speaker 4: I'm good for you.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, she's mommy. You go right home and
Speaker 3: you make me dinner. Okay, mommy. I mean, do you
Speaker 3: feel guilty about doing that and intervening?
Speaker 2: Well, not that one. That time, I don't feel guilty.
Speaker 2: The second time.
Speaker 3: I there's another one.
Speaker 2: What happened, Well, it was another guy. We're on the
Speaker 2: elevator together, and he's talking about it, like I heard
Speaker 2: she's single. You know, he's getting all hips about it.
Speaker 2: And I don't particularly like this guy. Anyway, everybody knows
Speaker 2: I'm the boss. I was like, I'm gonna be honest
Speaker 2: with you, guys. I've seen her records and there's a
Speaker 2: very very very recent trip to the doctor that you
Speaker 2: may not.
Speaker 3: I was to go to the clinic. That's lie you
Speaker 3: made up.
Speaker 4: Oh man, you're gonna get yourself fired. I would watch yourself.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like sharing information, even if it's
Speaker 1: false about employees medical records, is it's really dancing the
Speaker 1: I'm there before you know it, you're gonna get fired.
Speaker 4: Your mom's gonna take your job.
Speaker 2: Well, if I could find another of my moms and
Speaker 2: hire her, I would because she's doing phenomenal. She's number
Speaker 2: one in the off.
Speaker 3: That's great, and tell your hot mom if she wants
Speaker 3: to come work over in the company. She's more alum anytime.
Speaker 2: Bro Okay, don't have me get you fired.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2: That's what I self.
Speaker 3: But text in seven eight, five, nine two if you
Speaker 3: have a confession you've been holding on to. We'll hide
Speaker 3: your identity, mask your voice, and make you the next
Speaker 3: mass speaker. We got your phone tap coming up right
Speaker 3: after that.
