Hysteria is brought to you by Zebiotics. Between work, family responsibilities, and everyone needing something from you all day, getting together with friends can feel like a form of self-care. Whether it's a glass of wine at dinner or a long overdue girl's night, I make sure to drink Zebiotics pre-alcohol before alcohol so I can enjoy the evening. Zebiotics pre-alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to break down acetaldehyde, a byproduct of drinking alcohol. Pre-alcohol produces an enzyme that is designed to break down this byproduct. To make pre-alcohol your first drink of the night, drink responsibly and enjoy your next day activities. Zebiotics has sold more than 14 million bottles and earned the trust of thousands, including me. I know that my kids do not care if I went out the night before. They do not care if I'm tired in the morning. They will wake me up early regardless. And so I have to be on my game every morning. So I tried Zebiotics before our Crooked Media holiday party and I drank responsibly and I drank water. And the next day, I felt great. Try for yourself today and if you're unsatisfied, they will refund your entire order. No questions asked. Head to zbiotics.com/hysteria, code hysteria for 15% off your first order.
Hello and welcome to Hysteria. I'm Erin Ryan and joining me today is a hysteria fave, author, speaker and activist, Julissa Arce. Julissa, welcome.

**Julissa Arce** (1:27)
I am back.

**Erin Ryan** (1:28)
She's back.

**Julissa Arce** (1:30)
I'm so excited to be here.

**Erin Ryan** (1:31)
So Julissa, I'm just gonna come out the gate fast. Bestiality. And that's a word.

**Claire Fogarty** (1:40)
Bestiality, it is a word.

**Erin Ryan** (1:41)
And engaging with prostitutes are no longer disqualifying for candidates to join the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Now given now that it's okay for sheep diddlers to join our nation's most elite law enforcement organization, what do you think remains disqualifying?

**Julissa Arce** (2:00)
I have to say, this was not in the original outline.
So bestiality, I don't think anything disqualifies. Like if you're a Republican, nothing can disqualify you. Like if you are a Trump lover, then anything goes. You can be a sheep lover too. You can do all sorts of things to animals. And you're good. You're good. You get a pass.

**Erin Ryan** (2:30)
Today, we are diving into a wave of natural disasters in the Trump administration's laissez-faire response, the looming Social Security cliff, political campaigns paying influencers for content under the table, and the bizarre saga of a man impersonating a NFL player to scam women out of money. Then we wrap up with Sanny Petty.

**Julissa Arce** (2:53)
Cannot wait to talk about.

**Erin Ryan** (2:54)
Oh, the guy?

**Julissa Arce** (2:55)
The guy.

**Erin Ryan** (2:56)
It's the best story of the whole week. It's a bummer week, but that's the best story of the whole week.

**Julissa Arce** (3:00)
Yes, it is.

**Erin Ryan** (3:09)
You're listening to Hysteria, the podcast for people who are tired of hearing unsolicited opinions on women's bodies from men. Claire, regretfully, can you play the clip?

**Claire Fogarty** (3:20)
I'm going to come back and give you my take on Sidney Sweeney's breasts right after this break. If we're honest, we go, men appreciate women, and men that appreciate women are not toxic. God made us a certain way to appreciate and want to mate with a woman. Women are made the same way to want to be with a man.
I think Sidney Sweeney is just a reminder that men are still men.

**Julissa Arce** (3:45)
I'm sorry, we are.

**Claire Fogarty** (3:47)
Women are still men. Women are still women, and that's okay.

**Erin Ryan** (3:51)
Okay.

**Julissa Arce** (3:51)
I have thoughts. Okay.

**Erin Ryan** (3:52)
That was Secretary of Transportation. That was a full-on member of the President's Cabinet, an adult man named Sean Duffy, speaking for some reason about the breasts of a woman he doesn't know, while his awful wife sits there, giggling like she's been huffing nitrous. Julissa, what's your take here?

**Julissa Arce** (4:10)
That was my first question.
Is that his wife that he is talking to? That's his wife. About another woman's breast.

**Erin Ryan** (4:19)
Yes.

**Julissa Arce** (4:20)
Because.

**Erin Ryan** (4:22)
That seems rude to her.

**Julissa Arce** (4:23)
If that was my husband, he would not be okay.

**Erin Ryan** (4:26)
I'm just going to say, Julissa, and I don't want to stereotype here, but Rachel Campos Duffy is a Latino woman. I do not know a single Latino woman who would not.

**Julissa Arce** (4:35)
Is she Latino though?
