Hey everyone, welcome to Why Mommy Drinks.

This is Betty Stover and today I am joined by someone who I know from the OG Genesis

of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. She's an hilarious person. She's a writer and

author, a podcaster. It's Emmy Laborer. Hi! Hi, that's even high listeners of Why Mommy

Drinks and cheers to you. We all need a drink right now and we're recording this in the

morning. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Are you so are you sober, Emmy? Are you? I am. I am sober

this morning. I am drinking. You know what I'm drinking? I'm drinking tea chino, which

is like a caffeine replacement tea for people who can't even handle caffeine. That's where

I am this morning. Wait, is it decaf tea or is it a synthetic caffeine? What's happening?

It is a coffee substitute. It's like carabins and dandelion greens, but it's very delicious.

I'm sorry. You're in California, Emmy. I am. I'm in LA. Oh wait a minute. Oh, that

was a subtle diss. Oh, now I see. I see how it works. I'm in California too. I just love

it. If we're drinking, if we're drinking dandelion greens, we're probably doing in California.

So too. That is 100% true. We are absolutely in Los Angeles, probably on the west side. Let's

be frank. Are you on the west side? I am. Yes. We're probably going to have to move to

the west side at some point, because our kids, one of our kids just got into a school over

there and we just can't fucking drive. We do like a 90 minute bus ride and all that anymore.

It's just too much. A 90 minute bus ride. I know that's hard for the kid, but isn't that

a little bit delicious for you? Yes. Yes, it is. Yeah, I don't mind it. And honestly, our

middle kid would just always take a nap. So it was fine. When he wasn't throwing up on the

bus, he was taking a nap. So that was always good. The throwing up part. That's a great. Hey,

so I have three kids. They are all boys. I have a 10 year old, a nine year old and a five year old.
