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, like cocomelon them kids, you know, turn up the volume on Cocomelon and you step into another room because we've 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, and.
Grace 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. Here comes another episode. So here we come again. Once again. A new week. New episode.
Amy New thing to make me mad online. I'm a little annoyed at online shopping, to be honest. I just went back to a store I hadn't really shopped at in a few years, and my sizes are not my sizes anymore. Some things arrived and I'm sending them back.
Grace Yeah, that's the thing about online shopping. It's so convenient because you're just like, Oh, I'm just on my couch. I can look through all of these sweaters and dresses, but then, you know, you just have to have faith that it' s going to fit. And if it doesn't, I keep so many things that do not fit me because I don't want to go through the drama of taking it to the place to return it. The FedEx or the UPS. I don't feel like going, so.
Amy I literally don't shop at stores that don't have easy return policies. Like I will check the return policy on a store and if it's like it costs 4.95 to return this and it must go to UPS, I'm like, Oh, I guess you don't want me to shop here. I'm literally unless it comes in a box and I can put tape right back on that box and push it out the door. I don't even shop there because I'm like, not worth it. I need convenience of all forms.
