Hey, everyone. Welcome to Why Mommy Drinks. This is Betsy Stover. And I am so pleased to have

0:26.7

our repeat guest back on the show. She's a comedian. So the host of NPRs ask me

0:34.4

another, which you should all hear. It's a super funny show with awesome guests.

0:38.6

And of course, she hosts Ophira Eisenberg. Nice to see you again, Betsy. Nice to see you again.

0:48.5

I am so impressed that it's like 9 a.m. where you are. And you are, you look amazing.

0:54.0

No, no, you're doing the reverse. It's 3 p.m. I am later than you. I am in the future.

that makes it impossible to trust yourself? That's like, you're so right to about being
