| 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. |
| 0:24.9 | This week on One Bad Mother, the house is trashed but the bones are good. |
