Amy and Grace share their bummer news of the week: Russia extending the detention of WNBA star Brittney Griner and people finding fentanyl on crumpled dollar bills in Tennessee.
Amy and Grace also share their antidotes for the week, which include: listening to the “Sibling Rivalry” podcast and taking a long walk with ya’ mama.

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 the drill by now. Hide your kids, because we've got to say something.
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 to another week.
Amy Enough with that welcome. We need to talk about Beyonce. That's enough. It's time to talk about the Renaissance.
Grace Okay. Okay, okay, okay. All right. This was the jump straight in, which I appreciate because I'm also a member of the hive.
Amy Of the big hive.
Grace Okay. So we were just peacefully enjoying well, I don't know if enjoying our existence.
Amy Peacefully? Enjoying?
Grace That we were doing.
Amy We were alive on a Thursday.
Grace You were alive on a Thursday when all of a sudden my friend Amy texted me out of nowhere and says, Did you get your Beyoncé box? I was like, What the f--- are you talking about? Beyonce box? What the f---? It literally I texted, what the f---? Dash, dash. Never mind. I'm buying them all.
