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

A friend got pulled over after school drop-off and tested positive for meth. It was her ADHD medication. Han has questions.

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)
