| 0:00.0 | Hello, and welcome to hysteria. I'm Erin Ryan, and I'm a list of Master Monaco. |
| 0:12.6 | So, Alyssa, I've been thinking about the UK a lot just because they're in the news for |
| 0:16.4 | various reasons. Is there anything in the UK that you're kind of jealous of? |
| 0:22.8 | Is there anything in the UK I'm jealous of? I feel like they have extremely lush green grass. |
| 0:31.7 | The gardens? The gardens! That's no much better way of putting it. I'm jealous of the gardens. |
| 0:36.8 | Yeah. English country gardens, indeed, but my main thing that I'm jealous of the UK about |
| 0:41.8 | seethingly jealous is the use of the words jab for shots and scheme. Like, jab and scheme are |

| 1:43.2 | This week, we're joined by Shannon Watts of Mom's Demand Action, |
| 1:46.8 | Tiantran, and Megan Gayley to tackle the following questions. |
| 1:50.6 | What does the Derek Chauvin triple guilty verdict mean for police reform? |
| 1:54.9 | Are we making meaningful progress on gun control? |
| 1:57.9 | If care work is an infrastructure, then why does the whole ass economy grind to a halt without it? |
| 2:03.6 | And can Agatha Christie solve the mystery of what book you should read next all this and more |
