<p>This week Han and Philsy are back in studio and diving straight into Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding, the guest list, the NDA with zero financial penalty, and the reported buffet chaos in a venue that seats nearly 20,000 people. Plus the full circle Tim McGraw detail that might actually be true.</p><p>Before that, <strong>Recap & Rosé</strong> covers a chaotic Brisbane trip involving an unused tampon, a nerf-gun-adjacent preschooler, and Coco the not a poodle's questionable new haircut, alongside a proper meltdown from Mabel that ends in her grandpa’s first ever "don't talk to my daughter like that."</p><p><strong>The Weekly Spiral</strong> goes fully feral this week, Neil the Seal's Tasmanian reign of terror, an alleged 100,000-cockroach criminal empire in NSW, and a raccoon who had a bigger night out than either host has had all year. Then it's <strong>The SideQuest</strong>, where Anthony Albanese's shag marry date answers get roasted before Han and Philsy run their own version with Hugh Jackman, Pedro Pascal and an unfortunate amount of Ed Sheeran slander.</p><p>Explicit, feral, occasionally educational and accidentally therapeutic.</p><p>See you next Tuesday. 💋</p><p><br></p><p><strong>CHAOS CORRECTIONAL (FACT-CHECK CORNER)</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>This week we correct:</p><ul><li><p>Whether there's actually a lot of homelessness in Brisbane</p></li><li><p>Whether shopping and endorphins are the reason you need the toilet in a store</p></li><li><p>Whether Neil the Seal is fully grown yet</p></li><li><p>Whether potato guns are legal in Australia</p></li><li><p>Whether Disney owns Pixar</p></li><li><p>The Taylor Swift Independence Day divorce joke, is that a real thing people are saying</p></li><li><p>Brad Pitt, Troy, Achilles and an extremely ironic injury</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>LINKS & THINGS WE MENTIONED</strong></p><p><strong>🍷 Recap & Rosé</strong></p><ul><li><p>Blue Mountains <a href="https://www.worldsapart.club/independents/hydromajestic"><u>Hydro Majestic</u></a> hotel</p></li><li><p>Blue Mountains <a href="https://www.fairmontresort.com.au/"><u>Fairmont </u></a>hotel</p></li></ul><p><strong>🌀 Weekly Spiral </strong></p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/video/world/australia/100000011020930/neil-seal-australia.html"><u>Neil the Seal</u></a>, Tasmania's viral southern elephant seal</p></li><li><p>The NSW <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06-05/dubia-cockroaches-seized-from-alleged-bathurst-breeder/106762346"><u>cockroach breeder bust</u></a>, over 100,000 exotic cockroaches seized, including Madagascar hissing cockroaches and dubia cockroaches</p></li><li><p>The West Virginia liquor store <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-04/raccoon-goes-on-drunken-rampage-in-us-liquor-store/106099888"><u>raccoon incident</u></a></p></li></ul><p><strong> 👰 Taylor Swift's Wedding</strong></p><ul><li><p>Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-wedding-day-madison-square-garden-nyc/"><u>wedding at Madison Square Garden</u></a>, July 3</p></li><li><p>Adam Sandler <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/arts/taylor-swift-and-travis-kelce-marry-in-front-of-famous-friends-at-madison-square-garden"><u>as the officiant</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/03/entertainment/live-news/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-wedding"><u>Christian Dior Haute Couture</u></a> by Jonathan Anderson (wedding attire)</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.today.com/popculture/news/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-wedding-guests-share-details-msg-rcna353024"><u>Paul McCartney's reported performance</u></a> of "I Want to Hold Your Hand"</p></li><li><p>Lena Dunham's <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/1433675/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-wedding-lena-dunham-reacts-to-joke-rumors"><u>rehearsal dinner speech</u></a></p></li></ul><p><strong>❤️🔥 Obsession of the Week </strong></p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/kidslisten/programs/imagine-this"><u>Imagine This</u></a> podcast by ABC (Han's Obsession of the Week)</p></li></ul><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0R5AKKU9VTUSGZP8J4M94V9SCJ"><u>Elle</u></a>, the new Prime Video series (Philsy's Obsession of the Week)</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Loved this episode?</strong></p><p>Hit follow / subscribe so you don’t miss future chaos</p><p>Leave us a 5-star review if you cackled, cried, or felt seen</p><p>Screenshot & tag us on socials so we know you’re listening</p><p>🎙 New episodes every Tuesday</p><p>👉 Follow us: @grabherbythemic</p><p>📩 <a href="mailto:speaktous@grabherbythemic.com"><u>speaktous@grabherbythemic.com</u></a><br></p>

<p>A duck pecked the President of Mexico, got a Netflix meeting, and was personally rejected by FIFA - all in the same fortnight. That's this week's spiral, and it's not even the weirdest story. </p><p>Han is recording from her parents' house where the school holidays are in full swing, the hormones have staged at least one coup, and a child has been caught stroking a face with a ripped-off toenail during Harry Potter. Normal week, really.</p><p>In <strong>The Weekly Spiral</strong>: Merlín, the two-year-old duck who became Mexico's unofficial World Cup mascot, pecked President Claudia Sheinbaum at a press conference, had a meeting at Netflix, was personally rejected by FIFA on health and safety grounds, and watched Mexico win 3-0 from outside the stadium. We also get into the Trump Patriot Passport - the limited-edition commemorative document featuring a very stern portrait of the sitting president, a slogan that doesn't appear anywhere on it, and Gavin Newsom's all-caps clapback that nobody needed and everyone deserved. Plus: a Reddit story about a woman who called the police on her neighbour for parking in his own driveway, and the greatest petty revenge stories the internet has to offer.</p><p>Philsy takes <strong>The HyperFix</strong> this week with a full EOFY sales breakdown - which brands are actually worth your time, where to stack your discounts, and why the ShopBack app might be the most underrated thing on your phone. </p><p>Han runs <strong>The SideQuest</strong>: a game called Lies The Poster Never Told You, where she reads brutally honest movie summaries and Philsy has to guess the film. Philsy wins. Her prize is a title that means nothing because they're not in the same room.</p><p>Explicit, feral, occasionally educational, and accidentally therapeutic.</p><p>See you next Tuesday. 💋</p><p><br /></p><p><strong>CHAOS CORRECTIONAL (FACT CHECK CORNER)</strong></p><p>Stick around after the outro for <strong>Chaos Correctional</strong> - where Han cleans up the confident nonsense we said on air with just enough research to be dangerous.</p><p>This week we correct:</p><ul><li><p>Whether The Sheep Detectives is Hugh Jackman's highest grossing film (it is not, not even close)</p></li><li><p>Whether a toilet seat is actually cleaner than under your toenails (it is and we're not okay)</p></li><li><p>Whether emu oil does anything for your skin (yes, annoyingly, the science is real)</p></li><li><p>Whether Trump is genuinely the first president ever on a US passport (first living president - nuance matters)</p></li><li><p>Whether Schapelle Corby can profit from anything related to her crime (she cannot, and there is $128,000 of court history to prove it)</p></li><li><p>Whether anyone publicly corrected Trump on the passport slogan (yes, just not to his face)</p></li><li><p>How many Americans actually don't have passports (about half - less dramatic than implied, still a lot)</p></li></ul><p><br /></p><p><strong>LINKS & THINGS WE MENTIONED</strong></p><p><strong>🍷 Recap & Rosé</strong></p><ul><li><p>Sheep Detectives - currently on Stan/<a href="https://www.primevideo.com/salp/thesheepdetectives" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Prime Video</a></p></li><li><p>ADHD medication and the menstrual cycle - <a href="https://www.additudemag.com/adhd-and-periods-menstrual-cycle-hormones/?srsltid=AfmBOoosyxoCNn_D08cRictSu1juC9AbqbWMldXUoiZHBq_Rels3JuFi" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">ADDitude Magazine</a></p></li></ul><p><strong>🌀 The Weekly Spiral</strong></p><ul><li><p>Merlín the duck - <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/jun/24/merlin-duck-mexico-world-cup" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Guardian</a></p></li><li><p>The Trump Patriot Passport - <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/27/trump-america-250-passports-democrats" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Guardian</a></p></li><li><p>The driveway Reddit story - <a href="https://twistedsifter.com/2026/06/get-out-of-your-own-driveway-stunned-homeowner-left-reeling-after-entitled-neighbor-calls-the-cops-because-he-refused-to-move-his-car/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">TwistedSifter</a></p></li></ul><p><br /></p><p><strong>🛍️ Philsy’s EOFY Cheat Sheet - </strong><a href="https://grabherbythemic.com/Downloads/Grab%20Her%20By%20The%20Mic%20EOFY%20Cheat%20Sheet.pdf" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"><strong>download here</strong></a><strong>.</strong> </p><p><br /></p><p><strong>❤️🔥 Obsession of the Week</strong></p><ul><li><p>Han’s 13-in-1 Planetarium Projector Nightlight - <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0C8BFT4G9/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B0C8BFT4G9&pd_rd_w=rub8n&content-id=amzn1.sym.3502e6a4-8d5c-4df7-ba67-01d1f8d2e697&pf_rd_p=3502e6a4-8d5c-4df7-ba67-01d1f8d2e697&pf_rd_r=DH1XN393H6B4KWBF14R7&pd_rd_wg=f5r23&pd_rd_r=58d76a04-3ee4-49d6-8c79-63d58d77d43d&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Amazon</a> (approx $70)</p></li><li><p> Philsy: Simply Wholesome Nourish Pouches - <a href="https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/103548?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=WW-0001&cq_net=x&cq_src=GOOGLE&cq_cmp=SUPC-0001_Always+On_Performance-Max__Food+%26+Beverages_Search_Conversion_8458_815925_FY26_L3_Buy_National-AU&cq_med=23969020697&cq_plac=&cq_term=&ds_adt=pla&cq_plt=gp&cq_gclid=CjwKCAjwpK3SBhASEiwAtV1SPAddFr1amyPwMan1EbFvd5PSoWDle0Uv1lnEqGDRMddKaAU3m0v4gBoC6k4QAvD_BwE&ds_de=c&ds_pc=online&ds_cr=&ds_tid=&ds_locphys=9071935&ds_pid=103548&gclsrc=aw.ds&&cmpid=smsm:ds:GOOGLE:SUPC-0001_Always+On_Performance-Max__Food+%26+Beverages_Search_Conversion_8458_815925_FY26_L3_Buy_National-AU:&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23963995623&gbraid=0AAAAACoj6t5mLu9I6AsWto0ZH52L_Wdib&gclid=CjwKCAjwpK3SBhASEiwAtV1SPAddFr1amyPwMan1EbFvd5PSoWDle0Uv1lnEqGDRMddKaAU3m0v4gBoC6k4QAvD_BwE" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">from Woolworths</a></p></li></ul>

<p>This week on <strong>Grab Her By The Mic</strong>, a zoo in China is openly hiring humans to dress as black bears - six hour shifts, purring only, no ventilation in the costume - and over 100 people applied immediately, which tells you everything you need to know about the state of the job market. Canada has given trees legal rights, prompting an actual lawyer to say in an actual courtroom: "What do trees do if not standing? If anything has standing, it's a tree." And an Australian business called Rat Gizzard Oddities has gone viral for selling lingerie with actual taxidermied rats sewn onto them. They are called LingeRATs. That is a pun. Someone made a rat pun and then made the product. They are classified as art collectibles and cost $190. International shipping available.</p><p><strong>The HyperFix</strong> this week is Philsy’s journey down the day in the life content rabbit hole - why we can't stop watching strangers make porridge and go for four kilometre walks, what emotional gap it's actually filling, and the moment she realised watching someone else's perfect morning routine was making her feel terrible about her own pile of laundry. Relatable. Painful. Extremely on brand.</p><p><strong>The SideQuest</strong> is Would You Rather Work There - five real jobs that actually exist and a couple of made up ones that Philsy has to say yes or no immediately. Armpit sniffer (60 per hour, benefits unknown), tree rights lawyer, professional bed tester (under observation), vomit collector at a theme park, and the bear job. Her answers will not surprise you. They will disappoint you. Han would take all five and she said what she said.</p><p><strong>Obsession of the Week</strong>: Philsy is on mouth tape for sleep and Han has a lot of thoughts about her husband. Han has watched Office Romance on Netflix twice this week and is not taking questions. Brett Goldstein wrote a romcom specifically for his celebrity crush Jennifer Lopez, cast himself as her love interest, and it genuinely feels like a proper romcom in a way we haven't had since the early 2010s. Rated R. Slightly raunchy. Highly recommended.</p><p>Explicit, feral, and occasionally educational. See you next Tuesday. 💋</p><p><br></p><p><strong>CHAOS CORRECTIONAL (FACT-CHECK CORNER)</strong></p><p>Stick around after the outro for <strong>Chaos Correctional</strong> - where Han cleans up the confident nonsense we said on air with just enough research to be dangerous.</p><p>This week we correct:</p><ul><li><p>What type of bear the Chinese zoo was actually hiring for</p></li><li><p>Whether Quebec is actually French (it's complicated)</p></li><li><p>The full story of the famous tree that got chopped down (it's called the Sycamore Gap tree and it sprouted back)</p></li><li><p>The dinosaur tree near Bowral Hospital and whether it's in Glebe Park</p></li><li><p>Why rats on the lingerie (we tried)</p></li><li><p>Girth vs birth: a correction that should not have been necessary</p></li><li><p>Whether mouth taping is actually one of the number one things you can do for your health (the science says: maybe, but calm down)</p></li><li><p>How your phone actually knows your REM sleep data</p></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>LINKS & THINGS WE MENTIONED</strong></p><p><strong>🍷 Recap & Rosé</strong></p><ul><li><p><a href="https://swingingbridge.com.au/product/2023-william-j-shiraz"><u>Swinging Bridge Shiraz</u></a> - Orange, NSW (Han's Recap & Rosé)</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.clipper-teas.com/"><u>Clipper Tea</u></a> - bleach-free, plastic-free tea bags (Philsy's Recap & Rosé recommendation)</p></li></ul><p><strong>🌀 The Weekly Spiral </strong></p><ul><li><p>Luohe Wildlife Zoo black bear job ad - <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/people-culture/trending-china/article/3357986/china-zoo-offers-us15000-annual-salary-bear-costume-performer-strict-silence-clause"><u>South China Morning Post</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/sun-bears-at-a-china-zoo-have-divided-the-internet-this-expert-is-sure-theyre-real/wlobhtru9"><u>The 2023 Hangzhou Zoo sun bear incident</u></a> - the origin story of China now openly hiring humans as bears</p></li><li><p>Terrasse-Vaudreuil tree rights resolution - <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/canada-trees-rights-quebec-montreal-b3000285.html"><u>The Independent</u></a></p></li><li><p>Rat Gizzard Oddities LingeRAT - <a href="https://www.vice.com/en/article/this-australian-boutique-is-selling-lingerie-with-real-taxidermied-rats-sewn-on-the-crotch/"><u>VICE</u></a></p></li></ul><p><strong>😍 Obsession of the Week </strong></p><ul><li><p><a href="https://zzzone.com.au/products/zzzone-mouth-tape-for-sleeping"><u>Triple Z Mouth Tape</u></a> (mouth tape for sleep)</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.skingymco.com/products/mouth-tape-30-pack?srsltid=AfmBOopw1MwDKxD8HkqEw7WqayXLrZhsv-7VZ6ONuNkJKBFe1kXeERWX"><u>Skin Gym</u></a> lip-shaped mouth tape</p></li><li><p><a href="https://radoxtech.com/products/dreamwave%E2%84%A2-pillow-speaker"><u>DreamWave Pillow Speaker</u></a> (sound goes under your pillow, pressure activated) - Han impulse bought on Instagram Stories</p></li><li><p>Office Romance - <a href="https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81939823"><u>Netflix</u></a>, starring Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein, written by Goldstein and Ted Lasso co-writer Joe Kelly</p></li></ul><p><strong>🐰 Research Rabbit Hole</strong></p><ul><li><p>Sleep Foundation mouth taping article - <a href="https://www.sleepfoundation.org/snoring/mouth-taping-for-sleep"><u>Mouth Taping for Sleep: Does It Work?</u></a></p></li></ul><p><strong>✅ Chaos Correctional</strong></p><ul><li><p>Sycamore Gap tree - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sycamore_Gap_tree"><u>Wikipedia</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.babbel.com/en/magazine/speaking-french-in-quebec"><u>Do You Need To Speak French In Quebec?</u></a></p></li><li><p>Wollemi pine - <a href="https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/plants-and-animals/wollemi-pine"><u>NSW National Parks</u></a></p></li></ul>
