Amy What's it is?

Grace Most of the year is over.

Amy You're right. Oh, we're in the second half - we're officially in the second half. It's my birthday month.

Grace Yeah. Holla holla holla.

Amy Yeah.

Grace It just seems like just the other day that me, you and Iman were at that Malibu hotel, like, you know, the first day of the year.

Amy Oh, my God.

Grace Seems like just-

Amy That was so long ago.

Grace It was, but.

Amy Yeah, when we went on that hike, when I pretended I was someone who hikes and then y'all were like, You want to do this again? I was like, Nah.

Grace Literally, guys, this is Amy. This is Amy. I was just like, Oh my God, I need to hike more. And then Iman is just like, Yeah, I hike all the time. And Amy's just like, I don't like hiking. I loved being here with you guys. I just want you to know that I don't like what I'm doing right now.

Amy Yeah. I was like, this was fun. Never again. Love the views. Fly me there like Kylie Jenner and her jet fly me. 3 minutes to the top. Oh, let me take a look and I'll go back down. Literally nuts. And we know Beyonce finally dropped her album. I can't.

Grace Yeah.

Amy I can't believe we we haven't talked about it on here.

Grace I mean, listen, we you know, we love it. You know we love it. I mean, the thing is, we've talked about it a lot on here. We talked about.

Grace This is The Antidote. Hi everyone. Welcome back to another week of The Antidote. We are here once again.

Amy Oh, I like that sing-song. That was nice.

Grace Ant-ti-dote. You know what? I'm feeling the spirit of Beyoncé coursing through my veins. Everything feels very sing song-y. Everything feels very new, real. She is edging us right now. At this point, she is keeping us, like, excited enough, but not given us the whole thing. So the Queen has dropped a couple of a little, you know, scoches of things. So she gave us a reel. Did you see that reel, Amy?

Amy I loved that it. I loved it. And I'm like, Beyonce's doing reels now. I mean, she's been doing videos and reels, but like this one felt different. I don't know why. Why did it feel different?

Grace I don't know. Maybe it's on her TikTok, too, because, you know, Beyoncé now has a TikTok. But Beyonce, um, are you going to singlehandedly bring back f---ing vinyl? Because I haven't thought about it in a while.

Amy Vinyl is back.

Grace And I feel like when, you know, you and I were, you know, in our twenties, vinyl had sort of made like a kind of a comeback or whatever. Like the hipsters were super into vinyl.

Amy Everybody had from Urban Outfitters. They were selling that little I can't remember the brand, but there was like a little record player that everybody was getting from Urban Outfitters that wasn't very good, but everybody had one.

Grace Yeah. But like, that was a moment. That was a moment. But I feel like, you know, we move past that moment. We're just like we don't even have to do any kind of physical media. It's all streaming, you know, it's all Spotify, it's all Apple. So now Beyonce has given us album covers.

In this episode of The Antidote, Amy and Grace connect with actress and comedian Laci Mosley about amazing first dates, swimming, and ancestry.

Amy & Grace share their bummer news of the week: U.S. inflation reached a 40-year high in June, and New York’s nuclear attack PSA worried residents.

Amy and Grace also share their antidotes for the week, which include: twerking on a boat and celebrating friends.

Amy Why did I just drag Santa Barbara?

Grace This is The Antidote. Hi, everyone. Welcome to another week.

Amy Hi. Every time I think about "This is The Antidote." I like, want to like high five you or start doing, like, little kid, like patty cake. That's why- I don't know, guys, we're on like a zoom together, but every time after Grace says "this is the antidote," I start, like, high fiving my hands like a little kid. That's what's happening.

Grace High fiving a thousand angels. Yeah. It's. I mean, I guess every week in 2022, we' re going to be like, it's been a week. So it's like, this is not a new thing. But, you know, on those days when I feel a little bummed out, my often antidote is little Kaavia James. Oh, my goodness.

Amy Oh, my God. Uh, Queen Kaav.

Grace She's so cute and smart and, you know, has a little personality, her own little attitude. I started to say sassy, but I was just like, Ooh, that word is weaponized against us. No, let's-

Amy No, sassy, sassy's canceled.

Grace Yeah. She's just a beautiful little girl living her best life with her very rich parents, having all types of experiences around the world.

Amy And also I'm just saying that Kaavia gave the tour of their new house.

Grace Ha ha ha. Oh, my God. Well, I have to watch that.

Amy Oh.

Grace It has been a 2022. You know what I'm saying?

Amy It has been a 2022. I really hope y'all are like on vacation somewhere, like an elongated vacation. And you haven't come back from your 4th of July activities and you're still, like, on a beach somewhere enjoying life.

Grace Yeah, we wish that for you. But, you know, you got to tap into some of these simple pleasures. Like both Amy and I had the most delish vegan chocolate chip cookies the other day.

Amy Yes, we did. Oh, my gosh. They were so good because there was salt on top. There was Maldon.

Grace Yes.

Amy There was Maldon salt sprinkled on top.

Grace Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, the salty with the sweet, you know. And then it's also like they came out kind of warm, too, so it was like melty and, you know, the kind where you have to use like three napkins for one cookie. And they were like a good size too.

Amy They were really big. I was like, for me, sometimes a big cookie is overwhelming because I love a cookie.

And I went to my first comedy show since the pandemic, like literally two and a half years, my very first show this week. And I f---ing fell asleep.

Grace Oh, baby.

Amy I fell the f--- asleep. I was so. I'm just so tired. I'm so tired.

Grace Oh, I hope you were to where it could be seen.

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.

Grace This is The Antidote. Hi, everybody. Welcome to another episode of The Antidote. We are so happy to here.

Amy I'm happy to be here, but I'm also like a little, like, bummed we recorded on Saturday mornings and like. June gloom is in full effect. Yeah.

Grace It's really, you know, you're used to the Los Angeles sun and, you know, just during May and June, there's just always like fog in the morning. It's like really makes the city look gray.

Amy It's really odd. It usually burns off around lunch, but it does mean that every morning. And for people who don't know, maybe people outside of California don't know that June gloom is like a thing in the L.A. area. And it's it really just like wake up, you wake up and you feel like you're, like, sleepy and behind, which I always feel. But you feel it like even more during the month of June, because the sky is so gray and you're just like, Why is the sky reflecting my mood?

Grace Oh, that's funny. Like, sometimes I like it because, you know, I'm from the you know, I'm from Michigan and I spent a long time in New York. And so you spend large stretches of the year when it's sort of foggy and cloudy and cool and stuff like that. So it kind of gives me a homey feeling sometimes.

Amy Oh.

Grace Because sometimes.

Amy I moved here for the weather.
