Hi, I'm Biz. I'm a working parent with a kid and a teen.

It's been 10 years since the show began and a lot has changed on the show and in the world.

But by elevating the voices of others, we have learned we are not alone and we are doing a good job.

This is still a show about life after giving life. This is One Bad Mother.

This week on One Bad Mother, it's Max Fun Drive!

And we continue our conversation about autism with Tessa Watkins.

Plus, Max Fun Drive!

Woo! Well, that was fun. I suppose this is a check-in, but this is also a bit of a thank you.

I started listening to your show roughly about a year ago or so.

Just a new podcast to listen to at work.

And it's helped me realize several things and helped me out in several different ways.

One thing is that it made me very appreciative of my parents not just as what they have helped me do as an adult,

but also just how much effort it takes to raise kids when they are kids and everything.

So, thank you for helping me realize that and also just being more appreciative of any friends around my age

that also have kids. Like, a lot of hard work and effort goes into it that I just didn't really notice

because I'm not a mom. I'm not a parent. So it's just something that can go unnoticed very easily.

So, thank you for sharing that and everything.

And also, thank you for the hotline and allowing people who aren't parents to use it.

I used it a couple of times and you know, I started your show about a year ago and I'm one of those

crazy people that like to listen to every single episode from the beginning.

So I'm not quite proud of yet. I'm in December 2022, but one of the episodes that I listened to today

was episode 481 where you actually did play my rant and it was about me basically freaking out
