| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Biz. I'm a working parent with a kid and a teen. |
| 0:03.6 | It's been 10 years since the show began and a lot has changed on the show and in the world. |
| 0:09.6 | But by elevating the voices of others, we have learned we are not alone and we are doing a good job. |
| 0:16.5 | This is still a show about life after giving life. This is One Bad Mother. |
| 0:25.1 | This week on One Bad Mother, what walks on all fours is covered in hair and |
| 0:29.0 | peace on your floor. It's not your toddler. We talk about the comfort of pets with the host of |
| 0:34.9 | the podcast, Comfort Creatures. Plus, Biz rests. Woo! This is a check-in. I have a two and a half |

| 1:48.4 | the Mr. Pig thing in relation to Elsa and Anna. But you know what? I think you're doing an |
| 1:53.6 | amazing job just rolling with it. Also no one likes to be called a pig. But you committed and this |
| 1:59.7 | is what I'm talking about. There's a what an appropriate call on a day where we're going to talk |
