In this episode of The Antidote, Amy and Grace connect with actor Tian Richards (Tom Swift) about staying present, finding the best donuts in his favorite cities, and loving Black women.
Amy and Grace share their bummer news of the week - The Supreme Court Overturning Roe v. Wade - and also provide resources for how to fight back. They also share a joint antidote this week: listening to, “Break My Soul,” by the queen, Beyoncé Knowles-Carter.
This week’s Creative Tap-In:
“Make an empty space in any corner of your mind, and creativity will instantly fill it.”

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. Because we grown, y'all. So, you know, prepare yourselves.
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, everyone. Welcome to another week in the final days of America.
Amy I mean I mean, the end is nigh. The end is right here.
Grace Yeah, I think it's a wrap, wrap, wrap. I'm just trying to figure out which country I'm going to escape to. But, you know, for now, we are here. And welcome to all you lovely listeners to yet another episode.
Amy Yeah, it's exhausting to be here and no further proof of that than I went to my first comedy show, guys like. Just like Grace. I f---ing love live comedy. I love stand up. I love being in the energy of a theater where we all agree that this is funny. I just love that feeling. 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 Girl, I was in the front row. We got in and the place was packed and I was like, Oh no. And they told us our seats. I did not intend to buy front row seats. I don't that we didn't know we had front row seats.
