Amy Starting now, up top with our bummer news of the week. This first one, Grace, it's really a bummer. You heard about how these airlines are dropping the mask mandate. Grace Yes, I did hear. Some people are very happy about it. I on the other hand, I'm very sad. Amy Yeah, I'm very sad. It fills me with a sense of dread and panic because it feels like like isn't how this sh-- spread in the first place, like people getting on planes sick. And then and I know people are saying that like, oh, they've changed the air filtration in the plane. But what I do know is pre-pandemic, every flight I ever took, I felt a little sick afterwards. And with the mask, that doesn't happen. Grace Listen. So let's talk first about Naomi Campbell, f---ing icon of the skies. Okay? Ok
