If you've been struggling in isolation amid the coronavirus pandemic, Ellen DeGeneres and Michelle Obama have you covered.
They just had a five-minute phone call on how to stay positive during this difficult time.
When she made the announcement, she shared a message of positivity to her fans.
“These are trying times, but just remember that we’re all in this together. Spread love, be kind, and just keep swimming,” DeGeneres captioned the video.
She's been doing her best to keep people positive during this whole thing.
“We’re all vulnerable and at risk and it doesn’t matter what your beliefs are, who you are, what colour your skin is, what religion you are,” she said.
“So that’s what I hope we get from this and that’s it. And that’s it, just sending love.”
Over the past couple of days, she's cold-called a bunch of her celeb friends, starting with Adam Levigne.
She called him on Wednesday to wish the Maroon 5 singer a Happy Birthday.
Like Ellen, who was wearing sweatpants and laying on her couch the call, the couple wasn't up to very much.
"Call me in an hour," Justin said.
They even put their two kids, Luna and Miles, on the phone!
Such an adorable fam.
It resulted in a five-minute conversation about how to stay positive during the quarantine.
When Michelle answered, Ellen said, "Hey, you!" and asked how the former First Family is keeping busy during this crazy time.
"I think Barack is — I don't know where he is. He was on the phone on a conference call…."
"We're just trying to keep a routine going, but we've also got a little Netflix and chillin' happening."
They began talking about how this is an "interesting" time in history.
"This is like no other time in history, particularly for our kids who are so used to being occupied and stimulated all the time," said Michelle.
She continued:
"I feel for all the folks…who are going to suffer because of what's going to happen to the economy and we have to be mindful about what we're going to do to support those folks when this quarantine is over and people are looking at what's left of their businesses and their lives and that is a negative."
"On the positive side, I know for us, it's forced us to continue to sit down with each other, have real conversations, really ask questions and figure out how to keep ourselves occupied without just TV or computers," she said.
"We can do with a lot less and I think that's an important lesson that I want my kids to understand…be grateful for what you have and be ready to share it…Now we're just happy that we're together. That everybody is healthy and safe. Who cares about the other stuff?"
Fans and celebs alike loved the call between the two.
"This video calmed me down," wrote one fan. The Office alum, Ellie Kemper, commented 11 hearts.
