People are going back out again! Whether it’s to restaurants or the movies, more and more human beings are going about their lives. Have some people been doing that already? Yes. Is it super safe to go back out right now? No? But hey, Empanada Mama isn’t going to patronize itself!

However, if you’re like me, maybe you just don’t want to go back out yet. You’ve got kids, or a project, or legitimate fears, or you’re just a little lazy. All are valid excuses. Usually. But some people are so thirsty for some outdoor human interaction (phrasing) that reasonable excuses won’t work. You have to step up your game. Well, Stephen Colbert and Academy Award Winner Jon Batiste are here to help!

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is consistently killing it with song parodies. This week they blessed us with yet another. A song and video that are genuinely hilarious and catchy as hell. Though, don’t blame yourself if it also gets Brian McKnight’s “Back At One” stuck in your head as it did for my wife and me. The costumes, the dancing, the bits within the bit; this whole video is an absolute home run.

If you’re looking for me, I’ll be home. Watching my twin boys. If that isn’t good enough for you, I’m also hanging out with Alan Alda. I can’t leave him! He’s about to start telling stories about the past. Did you know it was different from the present?! Sorry, gotta go!
