Erin Ryan is no stranger to the comments section. She went from a miserable job at Merrill Lynch (and escaping to a Chicago animal shelter to walk dogs), to anonymously writing $100 Sunday shifts at Jezebel. From there, she made her way to managing editor at The Daily Beast and eventually the writers’ room of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”. If you’re wondering how the hell all that happened, she’s still trying to figure it out too. Later, former “Hysteria” co-host Alyssa Mastromonaco joins to reveal the “alchemy” behind their eight-year partnership, how their show was forged in the chaos of the Trump era, and what they’re hoping for—and genuinely afraid of—for the midterms this November.
