I don't know if you guys remember this, like at the beginning of quarantine, when we were told that we have to stay home for two weeks.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:13)
Do you remember that?

**Michelle Buteau** (0:14)
And I was like, two weeks?

**SPEAKER_2** (0:16)
What am I gonna do for two weeks?

**Michelle Buteau** (0:19)
That's so long. I was doing what everybody else was doing. I was like, check out my banana bread, ow, super moist.
Shut up. Truly, all my Insta stories were like, it's quarantine-y time, then three months in. Oh, I was a mess. I was a mess. I went to my Instagram just to see how messy I was, and I had this one post, and it was just like, hey, guys, how you doing? Don't answer that, I know it's a loaded question. Can you just drop me your favorite quote in Times Apparel?

**SPEAKER_2** (1:01)
What? Drop me your favorite quote.

**Michelle Buteau** (1:05)
If your girl is asking you to drop your favorite quote, you need to check on that bitch. She is not well.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:12)
I am not well.

It really was like the upside down in Stranger Things. I mean, my friends were so messy. Like, my friends with hair were bald. My friends that were bald had hair.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:26)
It was crazy.

When I finally saw my hairdresser, first of all, black hairdressers should have been deemed essential workers. When I finally saw my hairdresser a year and a half later, I was more excited to see her than my mom. I was like, that sun at the end of the color purple, I was like, mama.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:48)
Mama.

Some of y'all need to see the color purple.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:56)
Really?

**Michelle Buteau** (1:59)
