Welcome to Ellen.

The Shut-In Years.

[LAUGHS]

As you can see, I'm--

where'd you find that Coke, Andy?

Portia gave me it.

OK.

As you can see, we're filming at my house,

which I'm starting to like, because, boy, the commute

is a breeze.

Although I had to honk at two of my dogs this morning.

They were in my path.

Good one.

Thank you.

So I have a whole new schedule now.

What I do is I get up at noon sharp,

and then I do 20 reps of opening the fridge door and closing

it-- that way, I get the biceps and triceps--

and put on the same clothes that I've

worn for three weeks in a row, because I feel like it's

good luck at this point.

I'm not going to change for a while.

And then I come out here, and I talk to you

and hopefully make you feel better.

Because I know these times are stressful,

but I think it's important to look

at the positive side of things.

We're finally getting a chance to slow down and spend time

with family.

It's like we're going back to our roots literally.

Everyone's roots are growing out.

Look.

Look at mine.
