A Bombshell Has Left the Villa w. Heather Gardner

Hysteria is brought to you by Flamingo. Summer is here, and we love beach days and lake weekends.
I am hoping to get a little swim in at the lake after I finish recording this ad. But there's one thing that always puts a damper on summer prep, shaving. This is so true. This is so true, you get ready, you're set to go, and then you realize that your legs are like a pricker bush. Most women's razors aren't actually made for women's bodies. They have cheap, dull blades, tug at your skin rather than gliding over it, leaves you with redness, ingrown hairs, and razor bumps. And there's nothing worse than irritated skin right before wearing shorts or a swimsuit. Summer prep should be something you enjoy. Your razor shouldn't make things harder. Shaving stopped being a worrisome chore when I found Flamingo, specifically my Flamingo Chrome. I love my Flamingo Chrome. Flamingo was born when the women who helped build Harry's noticed that the other companies selling women's razors were just shrinking men's razors down and making them pink. They rolled their eyes and they decided to shake things up. They created a shaving solution that's actually made with women's bodies in mind. No flimsy design, the razor feels good in your hand, and the handle is weighted. No irritation. It glides smoothly, but still shaves very closely. And my skin feels smooth for days after shaving. I'm feeling my smooth skin right now. No pink tax pricing. We're not paying more just because this is a women's product. And their starter set has everything you could need, whether you're doing a quick shave before heading out the door or a full reset the night before a trip. Let's talk about what's inside the set. Flamingo's original razor with five sharp blades, a 360-degree comfort system to help protect skin from irritation, and a flexible hinge to hug every curve.
A facial dermaplane razor that sweeps away peach fuzz and exfoliates skin, making skincare and makeup application easy.
Foaming shave gel that is designed to add a pillowy cushion between your skin and razor, giving that I can't stop touching my smooth legs shave. And a shower holder to keep your razor within reach. You can get this whole kit for just $7.
And shipping free. Yes, you heard that right. You're getting a premium performance, thoughtful design, and a fair price. And if you don't love your shave, Flamingo offers 100% money back guarantee. So no risk. Since launching in 2018, Flamingo has supported and donated to nonprofit organizations that work to ensure women build healthy relationships with their bodies. Through a commitment to education and healing, Flamingo holds their brand promise to champion women and their bodies.

And I'm Alyssa Mastromonaco.

**Erin Ryan** (3:10)
Alyssa, I know this is an audio medium, but you are looking very summery right now. What's your favorite way to stay cool during heat waves?

**Alyssa Mastromonaco** (3:21)
Watermelon?

**Erin Ryan** (3:22)
Really?

**Alyssa Mastromonaco** (3:23)
Watermelon?

**Erin Ryan** (3:24)
Oh, I thought you were gonna be, I thought you were gonna get like weirder with it. Mine is like ice in broth. Ice in the broth. Oh. Between the boobs.

**Alyssa Mastromonaco** (3:31)
To be honest, if I'm that hot outside, I just gotta go inside.

**Erin Ryan** (3:35)
Yeah, yeah. Lay down on the floor. Ice in bra. Ice on back of neck.

**Alyssa Mastromonaco** (3:40)
I like to make, I like to put watermelon in the freezer and make a frozen margarita. Instead of using ice, you just use frozen watermelon. What?
Yeah, you're welcome.

**Erin Ryan** (3:49)
Okay, Martha Stewart. I'm stealing that.
And today we have the lovely Heather Gardner also joining. Welcome, Heather.

**Heather Gardner** (3:57)
Thank you so much for having me.

Hello. Well, we're excited to chat more with you today. We discuss the latest of the tragic killings by ICE officers, the aftermath of the unexpected death of Senator Lindsey Graham, troubling disease outbreaks in both humans and animals that could not be grosser, and new accusations about the federal government's mishandling of the Epstein investigations. Then we reflect on what Love Island USA teaches us about American literacy or lack thereof. We'll finish up with Sandy Petty.
