Grace This is The Antidote. Hi, everyone. Welcome to another week of The Antidote. You are our constant antidote. So thank you for being here.
Amy Thank you, listeners. And also it's fall time, you know, and I'm not trying to be like a Trader Joe's ad or anything, but I know I said my antidote a few weeks back. My antidote was a Trader Joe's Overnight Oats, and I went to Trader Joe's yesterday and they had pumpkin flavored overnight oats. I had to get them. I had to snatch up.
Grace So you love the pumpkin. You like the pumpkin and the fall spices that are your jam?
Amy Well, I like a seasonal snack. I won't even say it's fall specific. I think there's something fun even outside of Trader Joe's when the seasons change and you get to have something that's just for that season. But I think I'll be honest, I think Trader Joe's kind of overdoes it with the pumpkin, like, you don't need pumpkin mochi and like pumpkin burritos and pumpkin eggrolls. Calm down. Yeah, they do too much.
Grace Calm down. You try- you have a pumpkin patch that's why you got so much pumpkin but do you like I did I like I do you know it's so interesting it's always the end of the year where we get, like special snacks or whatever, special foods. I'm more of a Christmas snack person because I love, like, like like a peppermint brownie or like, you know, like peppermint in. I guess I just like peppermint. So that's usually Christmas. So I do I do enjoy those. Or, you know, at Starbucks, they used to have this thin

Amy Starting now, up top with our bummer news of the week. Well, guys, I read on Vice recently that there are all these wild things coming out from FBI's 40 year investigation of Aretha Franklin.
Grace Forty years.
Amy I didn't even know that they were investigating her like that. Apparently the FBI file shows the singer was under investigation from. 1967 to 2007.
Grace Wow.
Amy Mostly because she was politically outspoken and was friends with MLK. They thought that her performance, that MLK funeral could start a revolution, and they were nervous about, quote unquote, black militant power. This is literally nuts. And I lit
