The Juice with Solomon Georgio

In this episode of The Antidote, Amy and Grace connect with comedian, writer, and actor Solomon Georgio about his favorite kind of gossip, the practice of being kind to yourself, and karaoke.

Amy and Grace share their bummer news of the week – scam robotexts have surged in recent months, and the shift to remote work drove over 60% of the house-price surge. They also share their antidotes: change of season, and a new pair of glasses.

This week’s Creative Tap-In:

“I feel like the youthful experience is what drives the creativity, and I feel like experience and maturity as an adult, experience as an elder statesman, THAT refines it.”

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.
