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 stand.

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

Grace This is The Antidote.

Grace Oh, hello. Hi, everyone. To yet another episode of The Antidote. Thank you for coming.

Amy Yeah. This week has been rough for me. I don't know about you, Grace.

Grace Yeah, it's been a long week.

Amy It's been running through me. There's something like COVID is back. She's straight up surging again.

Grace Yeah, she's just like. Like the f---ing groundhog on the day. Like she popped her head up out of the hole and said whoop, whoop, click, click or whatever.

Amy What sounds do groundhogs make?

Grace Five more years of COVID. Five more years. Five more. You thought you all were gon' get out your house. Oh, no, no, no.

Amy No, no, no. I'm here. I'm here to stay. But it's just been rough. I have like four friends who have COVID right now.

Grace I'm so sorry.

Amy Work is working and stress is stressing. I don't know. This is just been one for the books.

Grace It has been a week. I agree. It's been so busy. I've had to wake up so early to do work before work. You know what I'm saying?

Amy I know that.

Grace My work day at work week is not done. I still have some stuff to do today. So tomorrow I'm just getting my nails done. So I'm excited about that. That'll be kind of a mini antidote for me. I'm getting my nails done tomorrow.
