Today it's impossible to keep a secret
Summary
It's impossible to keep a secret," a straphanger tells Kareem, and the conversation spirals into the art of confidential information in the internet age. The solution? Tell secrets only to strangers who don't know the people involved. Or your mama. Kareem tries to extract a secret from the rider and his friend, suggesting they could tell "the world" on mic, but they wisely decline. The pair do confirm they share at least one secret between them. The rider floats a bizarre movie concept: gathering all the mamas of the world in one room, which would theoretically contain every secret on earth. Kareem and the rider agree it probably shouldn't be a film.

Okay. You got the idea? Like mama's room in... Yeah. That will be a weird movie, but maybe a cool one.
