the pandemic unravels some of the spell of American positivity culture and relieves us of some of our celebrity obsession, there’s something delicious about the way this particular fiction has been revealed to be just that. Episode 94, “Keeping Your Relationship Strong During Quarantine” (April 30, 2020), which aired just five weeks before the Hollises announced they were getting their divorce, is a real work of art. Now, it sounds almost frantic, over-the-top, in its protestations of “We’re doing great!” Rachel reports that she told somebody that the couple had sex that morning, and the interlocutor had expressed surprise because “most couples hate each other right now, during quarantine.” “People are either falling deeply in love or being split apart,” Dave observes. The couple talked about how good Dave’s muscles looked and his disappointment at his canceled book tour, and dispensed some very April 2020 platitudes about how the pandemic had given them new perspective on “what mattered.” Rachel, later on in the show: “Our bond is as strong as it’s ever been.” This whole episode gave me the creeps. It was soon followed with an Instagram post about how they’d actually been going through one of the hardest times of their lives. A grimmer artifact of influencer inspo-culture has rarely been produced.[/quote]
