I Love A Lifetime Movie with Naomi Ekperigin

The Antidote

Oct 12 2022 • 52 mins

In this episode of The Antidote, Amy and Grace connect with comedian Naomi Ekperigin about the joys of a swimming pool, the power behind ‘most’, and procedural Lifetime movies.

Amy and Grace share their bummer news of the week – holiday airfare will be super expensive this year, and the former Governor of Mississippi helped Brett Favre secure welfare funds for a volleyball stadium. They also share their antidotes: a lymphatic drainage massage, and celebrating.

This week’s Creative Tap-In: ”Creativity doesn’t wait for that perfect moment. It fashions its own perfect moments out of ordinary ones.”

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 of this podcast. Welcome back to the antidote.

Amy And another week of this garbage world.

Grace Yes. Yes, that is that is very true. I mean, yet we are still on this spinning orb of garbage.

Amy This trash island called Earth.

Grace Trash island called Earth. So, Amy, did you hear about this story? I saw it on Condé Nast Traveler that now there's going to be 80 minute flights from London to New York, like the Spanish designer Oscar biennials. He made like a super, like, futuristic, hyper strength jet that can get from London to New York in 80 minutes, like just a little over an hour.

Amy I'm laughing at that because I just imagine Black. Women's wigs flying off. Like peww, just everything ends up in New York all bald. What happened. That was too fast. I don't want to be on that fast ass flight. Like there's something wrong with that. Why would you doing that?

Grace That's scary.

Amy We're not even supposed to be in the sky like people are not supposed to fly.

Grace I mean, this is just concept art right now. But it's still wild that they're trying to do this.

Amy Why can't that guy do something else with his genius? Like, I'm just like, we don't. Yeah, I want to get places faster, but sometimes it's like, don't try and be God. Don't try and fly too fast is going to f--- something up.
