Dirty Little Secret: What would you do if you discovered a coworker was skipping lunch—not by choice, but because they couldn't afford it!

In this emotionally resonant episode of Billy The Kidd In The Morning, a caller shares a powerful Dirty Little Secret that’s less about scandal and more about silent generosity.
After overhearing a colleague admit he’s cutting back financially, she begins quietly buying him lunch—pretending it was a mistake order, a restaurant crush, or a random freebie. Her goal? To help without embarrassing him.
The team—BillytheKidd, Candice Lopez, and Producer Pooh—dives into the complexities of helping someone in need without crossing emotional boundaries. They reflect on how inflation and stagnant wages have made even full-time jobs feel financially unstable, and share personal stories of sacrifice, empathy, and the power of small acts of kindness.
Candice recalls her grandparents’ early dating days, when her grandmother would skip meals to spare her boyfriend the cost of a hamburger. Billy offers a real-time solution: a Whataburger gift card to help the caller continue her quiet mission. It’s a moment that turns radio into real connection.
This episode is a reminder that Dirty Little Secrets aren’t always messy—they can be beautiful, selfless, and deeply human.
