Summary

Alyssa and Erin get into the results from Tuesday’s primary, round up Trump’s latest slew of flops, and discuss why we are tired of men with checkered pasts running for office like nobody’s gonna find out. Then Alyssa sits down with actress Sepideh Moafi about her role in The Pitt, her childhood as an Iranian refugee, and her latest role in the play New Born. They wrap up with a petty conversation about the best frozen summer treats, and Costco finds.

three glasses of wine and still wake up glowing, but I'm not. Somewhere in my early 30s,

0:12.2

the morning after a few drinks, started to hit different. That's why I started drinking Zbiotics

0:16.5

pre-alcohol. Zbiotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered

0:21.7

probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. Here's how it

0:27.2

works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. Alyssa,

0:31.7

did you know that? I did know that, only because of zbiotics. It's buildup of this byproduct,

0:36.3

not dehydration that's to blame for rough days after drinking.

0:39.2

Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down.

0:43.0

Just remember to make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night, drink responsibly, and you'll feel your best tomorrow.

0:49.4

So I first gave pre-alcohol a try.

Caroline made me try it because she wanted to have a couple

glasses of wine. And, you know, I can't, I'm a woman of a certain age, Erin, I'm 50, okay?

1:01.5

One glass of wine is one thing. One and a half glasses, zbiotic.

Between weddings, the U.S. Open, are you drinking for the U.S. Open? Are you just going nuts? That's it. I didn't really, you know what? I'm not like a tennis person. And so I didn't realize it was like a time to like barf on the tennis whites. Yeah, they have like these special cocktails, the melon balls or whatever they are. They're like a very big deal. Yeah, they're like a real to-do.

1:28.0

Interesting. Okay. Well, between weddings, the U.S. open and the first real lake weekend of the year, June barely leaves a Saturday open. Don't let a rough morning after it cost you Sunday. Drink pre-alcohol to stay ahead of it and make the most of every weekend this month. Remember to head to Zbiotics.com slash hysteria and use code hysteria at checkout for 15% off.

Hello and welcome to hysteria. I'm Erin Ryan. I'm Melissa, new title for Marco Rubio's unauthorized biography just dropped. Really? Yeah, let's listen to this excerpt from the Secretary of State's appearance before a Congressional Committee Wednesday to hear the title. Lisa, I have one last question for you. Mr. Secretary, who won the 2020 presidential election? I'm not here answer quite we're talking about 2020 this is a

2:18.1

foreign affairs committee okay great you can't answer the question even though we all know that i don't

2:23.2

answer the question because the secretary state i do not participate in domestic political issues

2:28.7

this is about our democracy you're asking me to opine just like I don't do campaign rallies. It seems like you...

2:35.0

I don't do because as Secretary of State, we're not supposed to. That's been the long tradition of the department. And you should know that if you've been on this committee for any period of time. Mr. Secretary, it seems like you have an issue admitting facts. You can't say that the president lost the 2020 election, just like you won't admit admit President Trump is losing this reckless war of choice. And just like you couldn't admit that the shoes the president bought you were too big. You clearly don't know what winning means, and not because the facts are unclear to you, it's because telling the truth the truth would cost you your job. And the American people are entitled to a Secretary of State who tells them the truth even when the President doesn't want to hear it.
