Hello and welcome to Hysteria. I'm Erin Ryan.
**Sami Sage** (1:41)
And I'm Sami Sage.
**Erin Ryan** (1:42)
Sami, founder of Betches Media, host of Morning Announcements and my friend. We're so happy to have you co-hosting today.
**Sami Sage** (1:49)
Thank you. I feel like I have the tiniest, biggest shoes to fill because, I mean, coming after Alyssa, that's just, I miss her a lot, but I mean, I'm really just happy to be here.
**Erin Ryan** (2:02)
Yeah. Well, we're so glad that you're here. I have a question for you. Sami, what is your favorite unconventional way to cool off when it's so hot that you want to take your skin off?
**Sami Sage** (2:12)
I don't know how unconventional this is because my dogs do it, but like standing over the air vent or like on a cold slab of stone, if you can find one.
**Erin Ryan** (2:26)
The Monroe, if you will.
**Sami Sage** (2:28)
Yeah, yeah, exactly. I don't know how unconventional that is, how unconventional we talk it.
**Erin Ryan** (2:34)
I mean, I do like ice in the bra, like ice like something right here for some reason, my like sternum area, if I just cool that off, the rest of my body is like, oh, we're all cool now. Like it's, I trick myself.
**Sami Sage** (2:48)
I think that makes sense because I'm pretty sure I'm no scientist, I'm no Dr. Fauci, but I'm pretty sure there's some certain pressure points that if you hit them, it like makes a big difference. Like I hear this area on your wrist, sorry if we're only listening, like the inside of your wrists is very important. Like if you put ice there, that actually helps a lot too. Okay, RFK Jr. I mean, I'm not saying it's gonna cure cancer, but it may help you cool off momentarily.

All right, today we will be digging into the Trump administration's move to terminate millions of dollars in federal grants for teen pregnancy prevention and what that says about the administration's vision for women. Then we deep dive into Emily Wilson's scathing review of the Odyssey, plus Dr. Annie Andrews, Democratic candidate for US Senate in South Carolina, stops by to discuss her race and how the death of Lindsey Graham is shaking things up. And as always, we end with Sandy Petty.
You're listening to Hysteria, the podcast that begrudgingly admits that Donald Trump was fucking hilarious at Lindsey Graham's funeral. He was fucking hilarious, Sami. Oh, can we watch the clip, the clip that really put me headed down a rabbit hole and then being like, OK, he's fucking funny. Let's watch this clip.
**Annie Andrews** (4:15)
Our nation needs more men and women like that great person sitting, laying wherever he may be. I think I know where he is and I think he's up there. I think he's watching us. I'm pretty sure of it.
