Hi there.
Haven't confessed to parents.
Oof.
Some parents will be hearing this story, I guess, for the very first time. It's an interesting way to get something out there. I like that we're providing a safe place to admit to your foibles.
People had a lot on their chest and they were able to relieve it.
Yeah. I hope everyone felt lighter after this. Some are probably scared. Yeah, of course. There's a couple of winners in here.
There's one. There's a. Yeah.
We get a real rascal.
Yeah, we do.
Yeah, we deal with a real rascal on this one. This was super fun, and I can't see any reason why we wouldn't permit people.
Unless you love your parents so much that you'll feel a lot of guilt.
Maybe if you have parents, you shouldn't listen. So everyone without parents, go for it. Yeah, feel free. All right, enjoy.
Enjoy. You know those creepy stories that give you goosebumps? The ones that make you really question what's real?

Hi, I'm Mr. Ballin, the host of Mr. Ballin's Medical Mysteries. And each week on my podcast, you can expect to hear stories about bizarre illnesses no one can explain, miraculous recoveries that shouldn't have happened, and cases so baffling they stumped even the best doctors. So if you crave totally true and thoroughly twisted horror stories and mysteries, Mr. Ballin's Medical Mysteries should be your new go-to weekly show.

Hi, Brie.
Hi.
Why do you have such a stylish microphone?
What secrets do Armcherries have?
Work stuff, podcasting. It's a work podcast. Fun stuff about history and animation.
Oh, we love that.
The history of animation or history, and then also we do animation.
History of animation. We focus on Walt Disney's life and history of Walt.
Oh, what did I just hear? I just heard an interesting factoid about Walt as you do. Where was he born?
He was born in Chicago, Illinois in 1901.
Guess that wasn't the thing that I heard.
Really put her to the test there.
But she fucking nailed it. Did you see that? Probably even knows his birthday. When was his birthday?
December 5th, 1901. That's right. It's right.
Wow. This is very timely. I'm taking my daughter to Disneyland on Friday.
Oh, that would be so much fun.
Do you live in California?
Yeah, I live in LA, actually, in Franklin Village.
Oh, Jesus.
You live just a stone's throw away from where we are right now.
She knows.
Yeah, yeah, a little bit.
Okay, this is an interesting prompt. I don't know that I even understand it, which is exciting, but this is haven't confessed to parents.
There's a secret they still haven't confessed to their parents. They're still harboring a secret. Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry about that.
Oh my gosh. And is there any threat of your parents listening?
Probably not, but might have to send it to them after.
It's a way for people to believe themselves. Okay, where are you originally from?
I'm originally from Bakersfield. So that's where the story takes place.
All right, hit us with the Bakersfield story.
Summer of 2010, I was going into my junior year of high school. I was definitely in my mischief era. I was dating a guy who was a senior, and he had been trying to get me to sneak out of my house. And It was always a joke that you couldn't sneak out of my house. My parents had designed it. They put me on like the second floor.
