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 if you've got some kids, put some headphones on them, hand them a little iPad, tuck them into another room. Because we about 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 stand.

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

Grace This is The Antidote. Hi, everybody. Welcome. We're back again. Back, back, back again.

Amy Yeah. And today we're coming to you from Santa Barbara.

Grace Santa Barbara. Me and Amy are in the same house.

Amy Yeah, she's right on the other side of the door.

Grace Yeah, yeah. I can say I'm waving at her right there. Yeah.

Amy You all can't see that. It's a podcast. But I'm waving right now.

Grace But I'm high fiving. High fiving your high five.

Amy Santa Barbara seaside coastal community filled with many old people. Lots of wine, greenery and good food.

Grace Yeah. And you see-

Amy Light on seasoning.

Grace Oh, light on seasoning. You right.

Amy Why did I just drag Santa Barbara?

Grace I don't, like we. It's beautiful. Here we are. We're happy to be here. And our house is very adorable. And, you know, you can see the mountains as you're driving. You see like little, little vineyards. It's very, very adorable. Very cute.
