Welcome to episode 176 with my guest Bernadette. This episode is sponsored by Pillpack, the online

pharmacy that delivers convenient, pre-sorted meds right to your front door, no more hassles

at the local pharmacy, and Pillpack no longer charges any monthly fees, so it costs exactly

and that's the end of this bit. What did I want to say? I don't know. Let's get to

let's get to the action, huh? Where are my notes? I want to give a shout out to a listener named

Matt McVarish. He is a Scottish boy, Scottish boy. He's a wee lad, and he is doing a 10,000 mile walk

around Europe to bring awareness to childhood sexual abuse. I'm told that he listens to the podcast,

while he's got his earbuds in, slogging through the rain in the middle of Belgium. Matthew,

and hopefully we're going to have Matt as a guest when he brings his worn out feet to Los Angeles

in the spring. So, faster, Matt, faster. I want to thank his brother too for
