Favorite Patterns with E.R. Fightmaster

The Antidote

Oct 5 2022 • 53 mins

In this episode of The Antidote, Amy and Grace connect with actor E.R. Fightmaster about living with intention, tales of cryotherapy, and discovering their voice.

Amy and Grace share their bummer news of the week – Starbucks recalled some of their drinks due to possible contamination, and a judge refused to dismiss a lawsuit against a cancer survivor’s 'FCANCER' vanity plate. They also share their antidotes: pre-exploring a new neighborhood, and canceling plans.

This week’s Creative Tap-In:

“If you’re creating anything at all, it’s really dangerous to care about what people think.” -Kristen Wiig

FULL TRANSCRIPT

Amy The world is a dumpster fire. I'm Amy.

Grace And I'm Grace. We're comedy writers in Los Angeles.

Amy And we want to help.

Grace As a reflex to the f---ing madness on the news for 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 stan.

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

Grace This is The Antidote. Hey, everybody.

Amy I love that, wow. Given Mr. Rogers.

Grace I miss singing a lot. So sometimes in unexpected points, I just break into song.

Amy Girl. Same like in meetings, I'll be like, and then we're going to get the nuts.

Grace Why? Oh, it's because there's something that my soul wants that I don't do anymore. Yeah, I mean, I'm actually thinking because I want to learn how to sing plastic on the sofa. So I'm thinking that while I'm in New York doing production stuff, that I might actually get a voice teacher.

Amy Wait. You should do that. You should do that. I have a friend who did this recently. It was a while back, but he he used to sing in an a cappella group in college and he was like, I really miss it. And so he ended up getting a vocal coach. And then that vocal coach introduced him to some of the other singers that he was coaching. And then they formed an a cappella group. And they put on a show.

Grace Oh my goodness.

Amy It was right before the pandemic they put on a show. And I was like, What? You're like a 35 year old man in a group? What's happening.

Grace No, I love it. It's like just something you do for fun. Like, my my theory was to be, like, do a little cabaret act where I, like, wear a sparkly dress and I have my kids, like, all hiked up to my chin. And be like, Let me get right to the point. Big spender.

Amy It has to be when you're old enough not to care. It's like your 75th birthday. You're just like.
