Hello and welcome to hysteria. I'm Erin Ryan. This week, Alissa Master Monaco and I talk about the Trump administration's latest anti-immigrant moves,

and why Ken Kucinelli probably shouldn't rewrite any more American poetry.

Then special guest, Aquila Hughes joins in studio with Tianan and Dana Schwartz

to talk about why flirting is so fraught with mystery and confusion.

Then as always, the Hills Will die on. Before we get to the show, a little bit of housekeeping.

If you want to submit a hill you'll die on, record a 30 second voice memo on your phone

You can also submit questions via Twitter and Instagram and don't forget to check out the segment on IG TV.

I want to give a shout out this week to a special group of listeners this week. I'm giving a
