Hey everyone, welcome to Why Mommy Drinks.

This is Betsy Stover, and I am joined by my husband, this episode, Ari Vuketus.

I am your husband for all episodes.

Yes, so it's late at night, it's been a long, long day, and I'm so glad to be

talking to you all because we actually took all of May off. I was banking

episodes early on, so I'm sure you noticed that all of the episodes lately are

like we are knee deep still in this pandemic. Christmas is just around the corner,

I don't know what president Carter is going to do. Yeah, it's they're really old. They

predate podcasting on this. Yeah, so yeah, so that's why everyone seems like they

were in a time machine because they were. So I'm so happy to be back out of the time machine

with you all. In modern times when there is no more pandemic and everything's back to normal.

Everything is normal. Yeah, so it's yeah, hello, there's so much I feel like there's so

much to tell you. Oh my god, there's so much. There's like a book full of just things that I wish

there was literally a book. It's not literally a book. We should write a book all we're missing

is time and work ethic. So Ari and I have three kids. We share them. They're all boys.

We have a five year old and nine year old and a 10 year old. Yeah, yeah, that's what's going on.

So how's it going, Ari? Oh, it's I mean, it's 11 30 on a Monday. The kids might be asleep

and I am bringing my A game to this podcast right now. Full of energy. Got some morning zoo vibes

going. Feeling good. Oh boy. Yeah, refusing to approach this acting as tired as I feel. Oh, thank

you. You're welcome. I think we all appreciate that. I hope so. So fucking hope so. We're just

going to Ari and I are going to talk and then we'll read some of your emails. And so let's see,

let's fill you all in on what's been going on over here. So Ari and I just took a moment
