Overthunk Ep 18 - A Rose By Any Other Name with Ophira Eisenberg

Welcome to episode 18 of Overthunk! Today we get to chat with the one and only Ophira Eisenberg about a potpourri of things that cause us stress and anxiety and had a blast! Ophira is a standup comic and host of NPR’s nationally syndicated comedy, trivia show Ask Me Another among other things… She’s also on a new first of it’s kind show, Up Early Tonight on HULU, she’s an author, a mom, and can be seen on any number of comedy shows, benefits, podcasts… I mean I don’t think she sleeps… I wish I had that energy. I like to say yes to lots of things too but then… reality sets in and my overthinking and anxiety kick up and say “why did you do this!?”

Anyway… we had a lot of fun talking about the stress of not being able to find a bathroom, pronouncing people's names and I make the mistake of asking do we really need to wear deodorant if we’re not leaving the house?

Hope you enjoy this as much as we did! Sit back, relax and enjoy another one of your favorite episodes of Overthunk!

Thanks for overthinking with us!
Aaron and Chris

Meaning of A Rose by Any Other Name
"The importance of a person or thing is the way it is; not because of what it is called. Simply, it means the names of things cannot affect what they actually are. This line is, in fact, very profound, suggesting that a name is just a label to distinguish one thing from another. It neither has any worth, nor gives true meaning..." https://literarydevices.net/a-rose-by-any-other-name
