In this episode of The Antidote, Amy and Grace connect with showrunner and writer Sierra Teller Ornelas (“Rutherford Falls,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Happy Endings”) about choosing power pieces, bathtub luxuries, and big Cathy energy.

Amy and Grace share their bummer news of the week: baseball players who decline to wear Pride-themed jerseys and people on the internet criticizing Cardi B for putting her own singles on her album. Huh? Don’t come for her.

Amy and Grace also share their antidotes for the week, which include buying a pink blazer and finding a sexy rooftop to hang with friends.

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Amy The world is a dumpster fire. I'm Amy.

Grace And I'm Grace.

Amy And we want to help. And fair warning. Our help comes with some strong language attached. So you know the drill. Prepare for us. We've got to say some things.

Grace As a reflex to the f---ing madness on the news. We're keeping it positive, uplifting, but opinionated.

Amy We talk about cultural moments we love.

Grace Talk to people we adore.

Amy Crushes we have.

Grace And self-care we stan.

Amy During these trying times, we all need a show that focuses on joy.

Grace This is The Antidote. Hi everyone and welcome. Another week, another Wednesday, another us.

Amy Another us. That already makes my week feel nicer.

Grace So Amy, I, you know, I talked last week about that. You know, my antidote was that, oh, I'm going on a trip that well, I plan my trip. I have done all my hotels, I've done all my flights. I'm so excited why I am buying impractical things for my trip. I'm going to.

Amy I understand.

Grace A new little bag, cross-body bag for when I'm traveling. So, I mean I'm excited.

Amy You need some cute little outfits for the gram.

Grace Yeah, like cute little outfits for the gram or just for me. You know, sometimes it's just nice to, like, be dressed up in a new place and look at new boys and all that.

Amy Yes to looking at new boys. Let's talk more about that.

Grace I know, no. 100%. But, you know, there is something, you know, I'm sure when they come here, they think we're exotic. So when we go over there, they're kind of exotic to us.

Amy Do they? Uh. I would like to believe that I feel like they come to America and they're like, oh gross, let me slum it for a bit, this whole country is ghetto.
