ADHD, Meth, and a Shark Doing Sports Journalism (A Completely Normal Episode) [Episode 27]

ADHD, Meth, and a Shark Doing Sports Journalism (A Completely Normal Episode) [Episode 27]

This week on Grab Her By The Mic opened with a phone call. A friend - we're calling her Poppy - got pulled over after school drop-off on a Wednesday morning, tested positive for meth, and it was the Vyvanse. Han, who is on two and a half times the dose, had several feelings about this. We looked into why ADHD medication triggers roadside drug tests, how the science works, and why absolutely nobody mentioned this at any point during our respective diagnoses. Poppy was let go. Han has questions. From there the Weekly Spiral covers someone is auctioning the chair Taylor Swift sat in at an NBA playoff game for above $9,000 and the auction is still live. Mr Blobby is having a cultural comeback in Britain and one of us had never heard of him and immediately hated him, which is the correct response. A shark in Brazil predicted the World Cup and got a draw, which is not great for her track record.  In The HyperFix Philsy deep-dived the Kardashian-Jenner chaos at Monaco F1 - Kim's bandage dress, Khy Summer, the Cory Gamble situation, and Kendall's very divine new boyfriend Jacob Elordi.  For The SideQuest, we played Relic or Rubbish - a game where Philsy guessed the sale prices of celebrity memorabilia and mostly got it wrong.  Han went to the Hare Spa at Hidden Hare in Mittagong with Poppy and actually fell asleep, which has never happened in a treatment before, and she wants you to know this is significant and why it is her Obsession of the Week. While Philsy’s Obsession of the Week is her new Klik camera - a screenless digital camera that brought back the joy of not knowing whether your photos are good. Explicit, chaotic, occasionally educational, and the first podcast episode to meaningfully discuss both meth and head spas in the same breath.  See you next Tuesday. 💋 CHAOS CORRECTIONAL (FACT-CHECK CORNER) Stick around after the outro for Chaos Correctional - where Han cleans up the confident nonsense we said on air with just enough research to be dangerous. This week we correct: * Whether Bordeaux is a protected designation like Champagne (yes, and the French will find you) * Whether meth and crystal meth are the same thing (related but not identical - Tim Tams are explained) * Whether Vyvanse and methamphetamine are the same thing (no, but they're chemically adjacent, which is somehow both better and worse) * Whether "rat boy" is the correct term for sexy nerdy - and whether Timothée Chalamet counts (partially right, one year late) * Whether Ryan Gosling moved to Australia during COVID (wrong on the timing - it was 2022 for The Fall Guy) * Whether Brazil is hosting the World Cup (no - USA, Canada and Mexico, and Brazil drew 1-1 with Morocco anyway) * Whether Ritinha the shark's predictions have been proven (she predicted a Brazil win, they drew, she is cooked) LINKS & THINGS WE MENTIONED 🍷 Recap & Rosé * Château Le Morines Bordeaux - the Aldi wine [https://www.aldi.com.au/product/chateau-les-maurins-bordeaux-750ml-000000000000306506] in question * Project Hail Mary (film, 2026) - Ryan Gosling, watch now on Amazon Prime [https://www.primevideo.com/dp/amzn1.dv.gti.414eb1af-ee27-476c-bc46-bedd48595f59?autoplay=0&ref_=atv_cf_strg_wb] * Wild Mountain Thyme (film, 2020) - the bumblebee movie, starring Jamie Dornan and Emily Blunt, also on Amazon Prime [https://www.primevideo.com/dp/amzn1.dv.gti.424cdb84-ca98-4a08-bec4-0764dd56b59f?autoplay=0&ref_=atv_cf_strg_wb] ❤️‍🔥 Obsession of the Week * Hidden Hare Mittagong - Hare Spa [https://www.thehiddenhare.com.au/new-page-1] * KLIK cameras [https://klikcamera.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorFYllQHUYNwhFICIdvzLVDJA0lfRYJ-Guf3nK__GAtUgNY8XbM] - screenless digital camera, ~$89 🌀 Weekly Spiral * Taylor Swift chair auction - ESPN [https://www.espn.com.au/nba/story/_/id/48985479/cleveland-cavaliers-taylor-swift-seat-auction-bid-eastern-conference-finals] * Mr Blobby cultural comeback - The Guardian [https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2026/jun/04/bizarre-return-of-mr-blobby], June 4 2026 * Ritinha the shark / World Cup predictions - NDTV Profit [https://www.ndtvprofit.com/sports/football/who-is-ritinha-shark-prediction-brazil-opening-fifa-world-cup-2026-match-vs-morocco-11596212]  [https://www.ndtvprofit.com/sports/footba%EE%80%80ll/who-is-ritinha-shark-prediction-brazi%EE%80%80l-opening-fifa-world-cup-2026-match-vs-m%EE%80%80orocco-11596212] 🧠 The HyperFix * Kardashians at Monaco F1 - various entertainment outlets * Khy [https://www.khy.com/] (Kylie Jenner's fashion brand) * Jacob Elordi - Kendall Jenner's new boyfriend * Cory Gamble - Kris Jenner's partner Loved this episode?

Pre-Perimenopause, Snake Wrestling and the Sheet That Did Nothing [Episode 26]

This week on Grab Her By The Mic, Han survived five birthdays in one weekend, a junior disco at an illegal decibel level, a pinata wielded like a weapon by a four-year-old, while Philsy survived a Hello Fresh salesman who stood at her door for 40 minutes in the cold while the curry went cold inside. She was late because of it. Standard. This week's Weekly Spiral accidentally became National Geographic after three glasses of Grenache. America has now lost multiple kangaroos across multiple states, the US Health Secretary posted a video of himself wrestling snakes, and two men drove a dead alligator across Central Florida on the roof of their car, and when questioned, covered it with a white sheet and kept driving. The HyperFix this week started at the Mittagong junior disco, where someone called Kelsey casually dropped the concept of pre-perimenopause like a grenade and walked away. What followed was several hours of research into whether it's a real medical condition (sort of, maybe, nobody entirely agrees), a deep dive into why ADHD makes the whole thing worse and earlier, and a genuine spiral about why women are still learning about their own bodies from random conversations in completely inappropriate settings.  Obsessions of the Week: Go-To Skincare (Philsy is on a clean perfume oil journey and the Face Hero is doing things) and Off Campus on Prime Video (Han needs you to watch it immediately, it's too childish for grown-ups and too sexy for kids, which means it's exactly for you). Stick around for Chaos Correctional where Han fact-checks the bear, the snakes, Tony Abbott, and the trebuchet. Explicit, feral, occasionally educational, and accidentally hormonal. See you next Tuesday. 💋 CHAOS CORRECTIONAL (FACT-CHECK CORNER) Stick around after the outro for Chaos Correctional - where Han cleans up the confident nonsense we said on air with just enough research to be dangerous. This week we correct:  * Whether it was RFK or Trump who actually pushed the Tylenol-autism claim * Trump's combat appointment and whether the Department of Defence still exists by that name  * Tony Abbott and the Minister for Women situation (turns out it's worse than we said)  * The full story on RFK's dead bear, Central Park, and the freezer of roadkill  * How snakes actually mate and whether Dr Oz was accurate  * What a trebuchet actually is  * Whether weed is legal in Florida (it's not, which raises questions)  * Whether elephants actually have good memories and how we know  * The James Corden plane story (unverified but extremely plausible) LINKS AND THINGS WE MENTIONED 🍷 Recap and Rosé * Raywell Grenache 2022, Clare Valley - from Good Pair Days [https://www.goodpairdays.com/au/wines/details/raywell-grenache-2022/] 🐰Research Rabbit Hole * Pre-perimenopause and ADHD connection - ADDitude Magazine [https://www.additudemag.com/perimenopausal-symptoms-women-adhd/] * ADHD and perimenopause symptom severity - ADDA [https://add.org/adhd-and-perimenopause-menopause/] * Oestrogen, dopamine and ADHD - Frontiers in Global Women's Health [https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/global-womens-health/articles/10.3389/fgwh.2025.1613628/full] * Previously unrecognised ADHD and perimenopause - NIH/PubMed  [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12538516/] * 7% of healthcare research focuses on conditions exclusively affecting women - source via The Lancet * Perimenopause as "Bermuda Triangle" of women's healthcare - clinical studies via NAMS 💥Internet Chaos * RFK Jr snake wrestling video - The Guardian  [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/26/rfk-jr-snakes-dr-oz-florida] * Waco kangaroo escape - Beaumont Enterprise  [https://www.beaumontenterprise.com] * Florida alligator roof rack story - News of the Weird roundup [https://www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2026/04/07/rooftop-roadkill-tourists-haul-dead-alligator-across-central-florida-counties-fwc-says/] * RFK and Kid Rock hot tub milk video - reported widely [https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2026/02/18/rfk-jr-kid-rock-video-workout-milk/88723505007/] * RFK bear in Central Park confession - CNN [https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/04/politics/rfk-jr-bear-central-park] 🌀 Products We Spiralled About * Go-To Skincare [https://gotoskincare.com] by Zoe Foster Blake:  [https://gotoskincare.com] * Off Campus [https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0I4OWKAPLUWIO5013W3F3ZN952] - Prime Video * Glass bottom potatoes [https://www.broadsheet.com.au/national/food-and-drink/article/recipe-annabel-crabbs-glass-potatoes] by Annabel Crabb * Toni & Ryan Podcast [https://www.toniandryan.com.au/] Loved this episode?

Microplastics, Mental Spirals, and a Man With a Wheelie Bin [Episode 25]

It's episode 25 of Grab Her By The Mic - a quarter of a century (kind of) of being completely unqualified in your ears - and this one has everything. We kick off Recap & Rosé in full Flubber energy (cold sores, dirty hair, a botched haircut, and a son who said "ha ha sucker" at the preschool gate), before spiralling into three Weekly Spiral stories that cover a French teenager who committed citrus-based terrorism in Singapore, a Massachusetts beekeeper who arrived at an eviction with a trailer full of hives and zero regrets, and something that happened in Scotland involving a wheelie bin that we are still processing. Han's Hyperfix goes deep on microplastics - and it is not a vibe. Plastic in your blood, your lungs, your brain tissue, your placenta. Philsy's Hyperfix brings the antidote: an accidental family Olympics featuring pickleball, soccer, skipping, UNO gambling, and a preschooler in full footy gear deception. The SideQuest this week is One Thing Led To Another - a collaborative spiral game inspired by ADHD and RSD. Obsession of the Week covers a Korean beauty foundation from Beauty Amora that costs $25 and somehow outperforms Charlotte Tilbury, and the Finch app - a self-care app disguised as raising a little bird that won't make you feel terrible when you forget about it for three months. Explicit, feral, occasionally peer-reviewed, and accidentally educational about bin-related legal proceedings. See you next Tuesday. 💋 CHAOS CORRECTIONAL (FACT-CHECK CORNER) Stick around after the outro for Chaos Correctional - where Han cleans up the confident nonsense we said on air with just enough research to be dangerous. This week we correct:  * Whether "Appalachian" actually means mountains (it doesn't, not really)  * How to pronounce Lusso (it's LOO-soh, it means luxury in Italian, we are embarrassed)  * Robot restaurants in China (real, confirmed, mixed results)  * How many straws the Singapore teenager actually licked (more than one)  * What the treatment for Binocular Vision Dysfunction actually is (prism glasses exist and we didn't know)  * What it's called when you oil a cast iron pan (seasoning, we were right, mark it)  * What The Disappearing Male documentary is actually about  * Whether it's "dewy" or "jewey" for skin (D, always D, there is no J) LINKS & THINGS WE MENTIONED 🐰 Research Rabbit Hole -

Greg the Frog, The Fury Wedding, and a Fashion Show That Needed a Welfare Check [Episode 24]

This week on Grab Her By The Mic, Han reports that her four-year-old has declared war on her personally, Philsy has a possum update that nobody asked for but everyone needed, and together they spiral through three news stories that are somehow all equally unhinged. Australian Fashion Week had a fire alarm, a woman being dragged across the runway by her ankles, and Ian Thorpe sitting front row looking like a man who deeply regrets every decision that led him to that seat. A frog named Greg survived inside a sealed Woolworths salad bag and was sent off with a rendition of Crazy Frog. And over 150 peacocks have formed a government in an Italian seaside town and nobody is doing anything about it. Han's Hyperfix this week is the question keeping every parent of a spirited child awake at 2am: is my child emotionally okay, or is she just four? Spoiler: the answer involves prefrontal cortex development, the phrase "I wish you were dead," and the realisation that secure attachment means you are the designated emotional punching bag.  Philsy goes deep on the Fury family - Tyson, Venezuela, the 50-foot lace train, the Crocs, Peter Andre appearing like a beautiful haunted carousel horse, and a father-daughter dance to Mysterious Girl that nobody saw coming. The SideQuest this week is Fashion Show or Mental Breakdown, which after the week we've had is less of a game and more of a documentary.  Chaotic, feral, occasionally educational and accidentally therapeutic. Explicit content. Not suitable for the easily offended or anyone who just wants to eat their salad in peace. See you next Tuesday. 💋 Chaos Correctional (Fact-Check Corner): Stick around after the outro for Chaos Correctional - where Han cleans up the confident nonsense we said on air with just enough research to be dangerous. This week we correct: * The wine (it's Nero d'Avola, not Diavolo Nero - same energy, different label) * Georgia O'Keeffe (dead since 1986 and she did NOT mean the flowers that way)  * Guano (we used this correctly and we're celebrating)  * The turkey drowning myth (false, but the real answer is somehow more disturbing)  * Tommy Fury's Pokémon card (that's Logan Paul's card -completely different person)  * Whether Peter Andre is a Gypsy (he is Greek Cypriot and simply appears at events)  * Traveller prenups (not really a thing)  * Bluetooth sleep headbands (probably fine, but the anxiety about it might be the actual problem) Links & Things We Mentioned 🍷 Recap & Rosé  * Wimala Tempranillo 2021 from Mudgee [https://themudgeewineshop.com/products/weemala-tempranillo-logan] - deep red with cherry, nutmeg, cocoa, sarsaparilla, plums, blackberry and raspberry 🧠 The HyperFix * At Home with the Furys (Netflix [http://netflix.com/title/81615144])  * Molly-Mae: Behind It All (Prime Video [http://amazon.com/Molly-Mae-Behind-All])   * Brat Buster Parenting [http://bratbusters.com] - Instagram: @bratbustersparenting [https://www.instagram.com/bratbustersparenting/?hl=en]  🌀 The Weekly Spiral * Greg the frog - Live frog found in bag of lettuce in remote Western Australian town [https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-18/frog-salad-esperance-woolworths-new-zealand-couple/106691336] * Australian Fashion Week - Fashionistas forced to evacuate during runway show [https://www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/state/nsw/sydney/2026/05/14/runway-show-evacuated] * Australian Fashion Week - Bizarre stunt as model dragged on floor in front of celebrities including Ian Thorpe [https://thenightly.com.au/culture/australian-fashion-week-bizarre-stunt-as-model-dragged-on-floor-in-front-of-celebrities-including-ian-thorpe-c-22285365] * Italian peacocks - Peacock ‘invasion’ of Italian seaside town ruffles feathers [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/may/16/peacock-italy-punta-marina-tensions] 💕 Obsession of the Week * Sleep Well Bluetooth Headband - available at Rebel Sport [https://www.rebelsport.com.au/p/sleepwell-bluetooth-ultrasoft-sleep-headphone-616739.html] * Metamucil [https://www.metamucil.com.au/] - fibre supplement, available at most pharmacies and supermarkets Loved this episode?

Litter Boxes, Military Dolphins & the Thermos That's Out to Get You [Episode 23]

This week on Grab Her By The Mic, a friend told Han that a local high school installed a litter box for students who identify as cats. Han lost her mind about it for a week, went down a rabbit hole, and came back with something way more sinister than a rumour about cats Philsy went full correspondent mode on the 2026 Met Gala - best dressed (Kris Jenner and Cara Delevingne), worst dressed (Heidi Klum, obviously), the Bezos controversy, Rihanna arriving after the red carpet had already closed, Blake Lively's energy, Katy Perry's six-fingers, and Beyoncé doing exactly what Beyoncé does.  In the Weekly Spiral: a missing woman in Mexico whose filtered Instagram photos made her unrecognisable to police, the Pentagon press briefing that became an Austin Powers bit when Iran was accused of deploying kamikaze dolphins, and the Thermos recall affecting 8 million containers after three people lost their vision opening their lunch.  The SideQuest was Silent Call, where it was proven why Philsy isn’t allowed to plan anything on her own. We wore headphones and had to navigate phone calls with no idea what was happening. Philsy’s Mum thought she was being held hostage while Han’s Dad huffed and puffed yet somehow knew Philsy was involved. A second caller announced she'd done a poo. It was exactly what it sounds like. Explicit, feral, occasionally educational, and accidentally the most thorough investigation of a local rumour the Southern Highlands has ever produced. See you next Tuesday. 💋 CHAOS CORRECTIONAL (FACT-CHECK CORNER) Stick around after the outro for Chaos Correctional - where Han cleans up the confident nonsense we said on air with just enough research to be dangerous. This week we correct:  * The Chinese plastic surgery lawsuit (it's almost certainly a hoax from 2004)  * Whether Mexico has social security (it does)  * What the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs actually is (we undersold how unhinged the Austin Powers moment was)  * Whether Australia has military dolphins (no, sadly)  * Anna Wintour's successor's name (Chloe Malle)  * The full Bezos Met Gala controversy (confirmed, and we undersold the fake urine)  * Lena Dunham's new show - is it autobiographical?
