“What would you do if your spouse thought they hit a wild animal—but it was actually the neighbor’s dog?” That’s the heartbreaking confession in today’s Dirty Little Secret. A caller reveals a truth he’s kept hidden for over a year to protect his wife, an animal lover who still believes she hit a coyote.
The emotional weight of this secret sparks a raw conversation about guilt, honesty, and whether some lies are told out of love. Billy, Candice, and Pooh weigh in with empathy and humor, sharing their own experiences and asking the big question: Would you confess or keep it buried forever? This segment reminds us that behind every secret is a story—and sometimes, it’s not as simple as right or wrong.

You look at me?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, your secret about Pooh? Possibly? I mean sort of
by proxy twenty years ago?
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Did you two date?
Speaker 2 (00:53):
No, I'm just throwing it out there, all right, fine, whatever,
So tomorrow seven forty we'll all have a secret. And
I'm nervous about that, all right, Dirty Little secret. You
got one? How are you?
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
I'm okay, how are you?
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I'm good? So, well, what's going on? You get a
secret you've been holding on to. From what I understand it,
I guess it's for it's a secret that it happened
a while ago.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yeah, it's probably been over a year at this point. Okay,
So what happened?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I feel terrible about it?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Well, so my wife came home one night.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
She she still talks about this, by the way, she
had this horrible night where she was driving home from
work and she hit a coyote. Yeah, and it was
She's like a huge.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Animal lover, so it was it was terrible for her.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
And she came home and she was really shaken up,
and she was trembling and pale, and I know, just
feeling terrible. And she said she just you know, couldn't
get the image out of her head. And it happened
really fast and all that kind of thing. So, you know,
I try to comfort her. I I hugged her and
told her, you know, she didn't do anything wrong. She
couldn't have you know, really couldn't be helped, you know
(01:57):
what I mean. But later I was driving to home
depot and I wasn't even really thinking about what happened
with her. But then I passed the part of the
road where she told me she she hit the coyote,
and I saw something lying there and it wasn't actually
a coyote.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
It was a dog.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Oh yeah, and she thought it was okay, So she
thought it was a coyote and she had oh god.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And I don't know who it belongs to, but I've
seen I had. I recognized the dog. I knew that
it was from from our neighborhood, and I'm pretty sure
I saw a neighborhood kid walking it around a few times.
And we're big dog.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Lovers, so yeah, oh my god, I pay attention to
that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
But so what do you do, Like, I obviously know
what you lied about now, because there's no way you're
going to go back and you're going to tell her, oh, yeah,
you didn't get you didn't hit a coyote, you hit
a dog, our neighbors dog.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
I mean I did everything could. I pulled over, I
I tried to Steven had a collar on it, and
it didn't. I just kind of stood there, like trying
to figure out what the differ I couldn't. I couldn't
tell her.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
That's the worst feeling ever. I mean, because I've hit
a squirrel before.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, it's awful.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Laughing I said, I hit a squirrel, and he starts
cracking out, why are you laughing about that?
Speaker 1 (03:21):
That?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I love squirrels.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I hit a squirrel. I was so affected that whole day.
That whole day, I was sad. But they are stupid
because he ran right in front of my car.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Squirrels.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I think it was on purpose.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
Get rabbits to try to run, like they jump in
front of your pause and like it's go or not go,
you dumb stupid rabbit. Anyway, but this is different. So
you never told her. You just had to move on
and go, you know what. And she still doesn't know
to this day.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
No, no, I mean she would be destroyed by.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, for sure. Well, you know what, you're a good
husband for doing that. That's the same thing I would do.
That's the same thing any good man would do.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah, there's no reason she should know an accident, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
You know what I would have told. I'd be like, hey, baby,
wouldn't believe this. I saw when I passed that Coyota.
You hit it got up, it twitched and ran away,
so it's still alive. Don't worry about it, you know
what I mean. Like, I was in the car one
time and I hit a bunny with my son rider
and this when he was real little, and that bunny
was flattened obviously, but he's like, Dad, did we hit
the bunny? And I was like, oh no, no, it
(04:31):
made it just under our tire and it's fine.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
I saw him run off. Yeah, I saw him run off. No,
yopped off to the bunny patch. I swear to god,
he's not a pancake on the road right now. I
promise you he's not flattened. We just got to go
home a different route now.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
So you don't see it exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Well, sir, thank you for being confessing, and hopefully you
feel better. At least you got it off. You just
keep you keep it forever.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, yep, thank you.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
No, I just feel pooh it will laugh at the
inappropriate times. Ever, why is that For twenty five years
I've known him, and somebody could be saying something so
serious and you'll just look over him and to be like.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It's your facial expression.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Don't blame me, tell you.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Sometimes in real like I'm public. I look away if
someone says something serious because I know he's gonna start laughing, right, Yeah,
I try to deflect her, yeah, and look at him
like you could be like I remember this one time,
this like girl was talking about we were at the
club or something. This is a long time ago, and
she's like, yeah, it's just sad because you know, my
grandma died. I'm like, what's so funny about that. It
(05:40):
was just your face when you said when she said
her gramma died, I.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Didn't say you like a hope like that.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
You're like, oh, that's sad, and he's look, it's your fault. No,
it's you.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
