Madonna, Migraines & A Dog On A Bus [Episode 21]

This week on Grab Her By The Mic, we're spiralling through the headlines, hyperfixating on what's actually going on in Australia right now, and playing a game that Madonna definitely inspired.In our brand new segment, the Weekly Spiral, we unpack Kim K and Lewis Hamilton's beach snog, Madonna rising from under the Coachella stage in a twenty-year-old corset (that someone then lost on a golf cart), and Trump picking a fight with the actual Pope. The Pope's approval rating is nearly double his. We have thoughts.Han's Hyperfix this week is the ANU study that confirmed Australians are now officially sadder than during COVID lockdowns - and the 35 to 54 age bracket is the most miserable group of all. That's us. Science said so. Han also unpacks what life was actually like for women in 1976, the year 59% of Australians apparently want to go back to. Spoiler: it wasn't great. Philsy brings us her Hyperfix on Coco, her deeply unhinged dog, who this week got on a school bus, caused a kitten heel incident, and may or may not be getting a taser collar. We also play Age Against The Machine for the SideQuest - where we settle once and for all what women are too old for. The answer, mostly, is nothing. Then we wrap with our brand new Obsession of the Week: Philsy recommends Italo in Bowral, Han recommends Big Mistakes on Netflix.Don't go anywhere after the outro - Chaos Correctional is up, where we fact check ourselves and find out exactly how wrong we were.See you next Tuesday. 💋CHAOS CORRECTIONALStick 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 you should ask your kids what they learned at school straight away (Philsy was right)What a "head" of yarn is actually calledWhere Kim K and Lewis Hamilton went carpet shopping (not Coachella)Whether Madonna just released a new songHow her Coachella outfits actually went missingWhether Trump brought in anti-abortion legislationWhether the Pope is anti-abortion (it's complicated)Whether dog taser collars are legal in AustraliaHow long the ANUpoll has been runningWho Australia's Prime Minister was during Obama's presidencyLINKS & THINGS WE MENTIONED🍷 Recap & RoséBetween Friends Rosé - only $10 at Dan Murphy’s🌀 Weekly SpiralKim K & Lewis Hamilton - search on your socials, you won't miss it, but see the story here on News.com.auMadonna at Coachella - details on the feedbackMadonna’s missing outfit - details on News.com.auConfessions II - out July 3 - find the album page with countdown on SpotifyTrump vs Pope Leo XIV - Truth Social (if you dare) or details on the ABC😢 Australia is Sad & The ANUpollANU official release: SBS News article 🤤 Obsession of the WeekItalo Bowral - The Mill, 6/210-224 Bong Bong Street, Bowral NSW 2576 | Instagram: @italobowralBig Mistakes on NetflixLOVED THIS EPISODE?Hit follow / subscribe so you don’t miss future chaosLeave us a 5-star review if you cackled, cried, or felt seenScreenshot & tag us on socials so we know you’re listening🎙 New episodes every Tuesday👉 Follow us: @grabherbythemic📩 [email protected]
